Rey suffered from insomnia, these are one of those rare days wherein she was able to sleep but not soundly. Every sleep she takes, a new nightmare emerges. Usually, it had been about Kylo Ren and his dictatorship but today's nightmare involved a blank static with a voice.
Rey, come to him
Rey
Rey, come.
COME!
Rey jolted awake, vaguely remembering the voice of am eradicated man. No, it wasn't Kylo Ren. It sent more shivers down her spine. It sent her to remorse and even more fear. It was even more sinister than the current Sith Lord, Kylo Ren. Had she not fallen to the hands of this Sith scum, she wouldn't have to hear these insane voices that is driving her wild.
Rey was sweating so much and she had tugged on the restraints so much, it woke up a stormtrooper who barged in and slashed her lower shoulder, leaving a big gash with blood oozing out slowly. Rey could not treat it with the Force, her mind was too far away. She did feel a little bit better than last time, she amused herself by making a stormtrooper trip on his own feet.
Hours had passed and Rey felt her energy fading again. She was suffering from too much blood loss. Kylo Ren had still not visited her and that's when Rey realised something. She began questioning herself. Had this been his plan all along? To make her suffer slowly and die from blood loss? She would have proffered to die by his lightsaber and not because of some petty blood loss.
Rey stifled a loud groan and tried to keep herself awake. She did everything not to fall into unconsciousness. She bit her lips until it drew blood, she tried to pull on the binds that had made fresh blisters, bruises and wounds. She kicked and pulled just to keep herself awake. She knew that falling asleep might risk her into even more danger and nightmares so she rather have herself hurt physically than being haunted by these bizarre nightmares.
Suddenly, the door blasted open with a groggy looking stormtrooper, he looked pissed and drunk at the same time. Had this stormtrooper gone mad? If ever Phasma or even Hux finds out about this stormtrooper wandering around the interrogation/prison room like a mad man then he'd be eliminated for sure. The stormtrooper pulled out his blaster and pointed at Rey's leg. Rey's eyes widened but did not say a thing. She only whimpered. If it could keep her awake, then she'd be more than glad to take the hit.
The stormtrooper did hit her. It landed on Rey's shin, and was bleeding massively. It hurt her so much but she was wide awake now.
"Undo these restraints" She had ordered, the power of the Force lacing her voice. The stormtrooper looked at her as if she was out of her mind and prepared to shoot her again but he froze. Rey tilted her head and looked at the completely frozen stormtrooper who tried to escape badly. Then it came to her senses. It was Kylo Ren and he started to choke the poor stormtrooper. The Sith Lord entered the room immediately still holding the stormtrooper down, who was not being able to breathe properly.
"Trying to escape again, I see. Your tricks won't work on me twice" He said, motionless. Rey glared at him with all her might then she screamed loudly. "Gah!" She screamed, as if in pain. Little did the Sith Lord know, she was in pain. Both in the mind and physically. Kylo Ren had done nothing wrong to her yet she was screaming. His eyes landed on the gash on her shoulder and her bleeding shin. He looked at the stormtrooper with no mercy and stopped his breathing.
"Shh" He tried to calm her down. The girl could not even hold onto her body so she did no less than scream. It was already tiring Kylo Ren out, hearing her wails of pain so he bent to see her wounds and pushed his forehead onto hers. Rey looked at him disgustingly. "What the hell are you doing?" She spat. Kylo Ren looked at her with an expression she could not read, but of course he had his mask on. He took the bulky mask off and leaned on her forehead.
"I'm trying to save your life, so for once, be grateful you scavenger" He whispered in her ear. Rey had not said anything now. The pain had increased and she knew that screaming in pain would not suffice. She felt Kylo Ren inside her mind and she tried to push him away but he did not budge. After all, since they last met, their power and stamina had both increased rapidly.
Her body felt light when he had released her from the restraints. That's when her wounds had started healing. Rey looked at her body in a confused way. She had not used the power of the Force on her body, but for some reason, she was healing.
I'm the one healing you, you idiot
Rey jumped at the voice in her head. Had she finally lost it? Had she finally lost the will to live that she's hearing Kylo Ren's voice in her head?
"You're not crazy. Maybe you are, but we're bonded now" He explained briefly. Rey looked at her mortal enemy in a way Kylo Ren could not explain. Maybe it was a mixture of hatred, pure shock and disgust? Rey was completely speechless.
You're saying, you could hear me right now?! Rey thought in her head, almost screaming. Her head was completely aching in distraught and in confusion. How was she bonded to this monster now? What has she done wrong again?
Had I not healed you, you would've died. Act more grateful less distraught. He had said through their head. He sounded pissed but Rey completely ignored that. She was more worried about her own self than this filthy Sith bastard who had killed his own comrade. Rey could not believe what was actually happening. First, she gets captured by this Sith Lord and now, they're both bonded?
"Is there anything else I need to know about this magic telepathy we have?" Rey queried, sounding sarcastic as ever, standing up from her current position. Kylo Ren returns his mask back onto his head and chuckles. "Yes. Lots, actually" He replied. Rey looked at him weirdly. Were the side effects of this bond horrible, to the point where it can get her killed?
My pain will be your pain and yours will be mine He uttered through the link they had. Rey stumbled upon hearing that.
"What?!" She screamed. Kylo Ren rolled his eyes and thought she had overreacted greatly.
I do not overreact! Said Rey. Suddenly, a stormtrooper who was huffing entered the room and looked at his dead comrade and to Kylo Ren. The stormtrooper felt frightened immediately and came up with false accusations in his head but that stopped when he saw Kylo Ren waiting for him to say something. The girl held captive was behind Kylo Ren and was healed from the cut he gave her.
"Lord Ren, it's the Resistance and they have come to obtain the girl back"
I hope I made it a little bit longer.
