Author's Note: I apologize for the short(er) length of this chapter. I am currently swamped with school work and am trying to get it all done before Spring Break.


Kylo Ren's eyes slowly opened. He tried to move his arms, and his legs, but he found himself unfortunately restrained. He desperately wished he had access to his arms at that moment, access to his light saber, for he desired greatly to drive it through Hux's skull.

He thought of her then, praying, hoping, that she was still alive. He tried then to call out to her through the Force,

"Rey."

No response.

"Rey, are you hurt? Can you hear me?"

He waited anxiously.

"Yes, I am alright," he finally heard back. He sighed out in relieve. "I don't know exactly where I am, but I am restrained, and the door in front of me says "1127."

He thought to himself for a moment, and his blood boiled when he realized where she was.

She was in Hux's room.

"I'm coming for you, do not worry." He replied.

"They're going to kill me," she said rather fearfully.

"I am not going to let that happen," he informed her. "I will find a way out of this room, and I will kill anyone that stands in my way."

He heard nothing then, and worried their connection had been broken. "Rey?"

"I'm still here." She informed him.

"I apologize… greatly for putting you through this...through...all of this. If I had just obeyed orders, and stayed away, you wouldn't be in this mess. I'm sorry Rey...I'm so...sorry."

"Listen to me," he heard her say. "It is not your fault. I am the one who said yes, I am the one who willingly agreed to come along with you. I could've said no. If it's anyone's fault, it is mine."

He felt like a child now, it was like his body physically would not allow him to say it. "Whatever happens, Rey, there is something you must know…"

"What is that?" She inquired.

"I love you." He finally said.

Their connection was broken then when a chrome armored woman entered his room.

The woman sat down her blaster on a nearby table, and began to inch closer to him.

"Hello, sir. I see you are not in a good place at the moment, would you care for my assistance?"

Ren looked at the woman in confusion, and anger.

"You betrayed me Captain Phasma, why should I trust you?"

The woman then took off her helmet, exposing her piercing blue eyes, short blonde hair, and glowing white skin. "Because," she paused and sighed out deeply. "You are the only one that can stop this, ...stop...all of this."

He looked at her, and titled his head, wondering what she had meant by those words.

"The girl is in General Hux's chambers, I suggest you hurry," she informed. "She is to be brought before the Supreme Leader any moment now."

She then released the restraints across his chest, his hands, and his ankles. His saber hilt is seen clearly on the same table in which her helmet lay.

Kylo Ren felt a strange emotion then, he felt...grateful.

"Thank you...Captain." He said awkwardly.

"Go. Now!" She said. And he rushed out of the room without looking back.


"Rey, I'm coming. Remember, show them no sign of your fear," he said to her through the Force.

He heard nothing, and began to worry.

"Rey, please answer me." He said, still hearing nothing in return.

As he made his way through the corridor, he stopped in his tracks.

"You are foolish to follow me, General," he said as he ignited his light saber.

Kylo Ren whirled around then and saw Hux there with Rey. She was battered, and bruised, and had a blaster pistol pointed to her head.

"I would be careful with your choice of words, Ren." He spat back. "If you come any closer, you'll be forced to watch your precious scavenger die."

Kylo Ren froze in his steps, and shut off his red blade.

"Good...good. Now come along with me, the Supreme Leader is most anxious to see you."

He led him then through a dark, cold corridor to Snoke's rooms.


"I brought Ren and the girl as requested Supreme Leader," Hux said as he stared up at the hologram.

Snoke stared down with satisfaction, "Excellent, General, I have to say I am rather surprised you successfully completed your mission."

Hux wanted to interject, but he knew it would be foolish.

"Your services are no longer needed General, leave my presence."

As he watched the man leave the room, he turned his face to Kylo Ren.

"Kylo Ren…you have failed me…. again."

"I know of this, Supreme Leader. But killing the girl would achieve nothing."

Snoke was intrigued. "Go on…."

Kylo Ren began to feel the sweat on his forehead, "I have been training her in the ways of the Force, in the ways of the dark side, your leadership. She has grown stronger, both physically and mentally, and has greatly strengthened her skills, one of which being force lightening."

"Force lightening? The girl has produced force lightening?"

Kylo Ren began to toddle on the balls of his feet, with his hands now behind his back, "Yes, I have seen it. Her strength is remarkable your leadership, and killing her would be killing a very valuable resource."

Snoke looked down at the man that stood before him, and noticed the abnormal expression on his face, as if he were hiding something. "If what you tell me is truth, Kylo Ren, you must complete the girl's training."

Kylo Ren stood there, astonished, he hesitated as he replied to the towering hologram, "Yes, your leadership, I shall return the girl to you when her training is complete."

"No need," he replied. Ren gave him a rather curious look. "I shall personally retrieve you and the girl in a month's time."

The door to his chambers suddenly burst opened, and Kylo Ren saw a chrome armored woman leading Rey towards the hologram.

Rey looked different than he had seen her shortly before hand. She had changed clothing, blood washed off her cheeks and lips, and her bruises looked as if they had vanished.

Captain Phasma simply nodded at Kylo Ren, and proceeded to walk out of the room.

"Captain Phasma will lead you to your ship, I suggest you leave my sight immediately before I come to my senses and change my mind."

Kylo Ren looked at Rey, they were alive, bruised, but alive, they were to going to walk out, together.

"Yes your leadership." He said.

As they were half way out of the room, he heard the bone chilling voice call back at him, "I suggest you do not attempt anything foolish, Kylo Ren."

He said nothing, and walked with Rey out of the room. He knew that he must tell her everything now, everything he had been trying his best to hide. They would need each other now more than ever.
