Kylo Ren had trudged towards where the Supreme Leader Snoke was. He was pissed and quite nervous at the same time. What would his master say to him now? He had already predicted a few possibilities to what Snoke could say. First, is that he thinks that Snoke is going to question him why he had stopped the fight between the Resistance and the First Order. As Kylo Ren was walking, he was thinking of answers. If that question is to be asked, he will reply that it is because Rey could be an asset to the First Order. She had a strong flow of the Force, after all. Next is probably why he had already started to soften on the girl. To that question, he has no answer yet.
So, he pondered on it for a while. He groaned in frustration when he had finally reached the Supreme Leader without an answer to think of yet. He unraveled his face to the Supreme leader as sign of respect. The Supreme Leader looked at him differently. His question was finally coming.
"Tell me, Kylo Ren. Why have you chosen to capture this girl? Tell me your sole reason" And there he goes, immediately asking about the Jakku scavenger. Kylo Ren sighed inside his head and opened his mouth to speak before Hux came barging in, wailing like some girl. He glares at him and starts to talk about an engine fail on the north section of the ship. The Supreme Leader gave him orders to do this and that but Kylo Ren did not listen. His mind wandered back when she had protected him using his light saber. Even if she was tattered, she still looked beautiful in his eyes. He shook his head at the thought and it angered him. After Hux had left, he started explaining.
"Supreme Leader, my first reason of obtaining this girl and haunting her dreams was for her to break. I wanted her to feel pain. She had left me on the death star, dying. I wanted revenge on her but after seeing her mind, wandering though it-" He was interrupted by Snoke who had leaned down to squint his eyes at him. Kylo Ren knew that he was seeing through him and he let him. Disobeying him would mean punishment.
"You changed your ill intentions. Your heart had started to grow on her, what next? Is she claimed to be yours now?"
"Nothing of that, Supreme Leader! I do not view the scavenger girl that way. I believe that she could be an asset to the First Order. Her flow of the Force is remarkably strong and with her on our side, we are sure to be stronger than we already are" He explained, part of it was a lie. She had started to grow on him, and the Supreme Leader knew it too well.
"And how much are you convinced that she is to turn to our side? The Light she radiates is too bright and it is hard to get rid of something like that" Snoke replied and his reply made Kylo Ren uneasy. Kylo Ren did not know at all how to make her succumb to the First Order. Snoke was right and Leia too. Rey was too much of a sunshine and he didn't know how to make her turn to his way and abide him completely.
"I don't know, Supreme Leader, but I will find-" He had interrupted him again that made him flinch.
"Then find a way! Immediately! She is already a Jedi. We either choose to eliminate her or make her one of us" He declared loudly. Kylo Ren bit his lip. He was too loud that Rey might have been able to hear. Kylo Ren tried to get himself lost. He was already excused by Snoke so he thought of ways he could remember badly about Rey. Maybe that will help him build a taller wall between her and him.
He remembered how he said he was a monster. She had called him filthy and all those words that hadn't really pierced through him but they were still insults. It didn't anger him, he dug deeper again, trying to recall all those times he was angered by Rey. He remembered when they fought, when their lightsabers had both clashed and in the end, he was left almost dying. He had not claimed that it was betrayal, there was nothing for Rey to betray but since she was the Light, he had expected a little bit of her help.
Kylo Ren shook his head. It still did not make him mad. Displeased, sure but not mad to the point where he could hurt her. Then it hit him like a truck. He tried to recall when he had interrogated her in that room. He had tried to pry her mind open but had failed. Subsequently, he had been told that he was afraid. He was afraid that he will never be as strong as Darth Vader. She had seen it not by the Force, but she had seen it with her own two eyes. The fear that reflected too much.
He stood up from his chair almost immediately and started to march where Rey was. He felt her presence in the opposite direction where her room was. Did she try to escape again? When he had realised that, he knew that Rey must've found out about him knowing where she was and must've tried to make a run for it. And so, he followed where she would eventually lead to. When he had seen her, she was not running at all but had a purple look on her face.
Is something the matter?
Yeah, I have no idea where the toilet is
Sighing, Kylo Ren had lead her to the bathroom. He had also told her to get changed, Captain Phasma owned dresses or few and he had lent it to her. He knew it. He had not only warmed up to her but now he had also cared for this girl. Rey quickly said her thanks and stepped into the bathroom. It was his bathroom after all, so he waited for her. He thought on how he could not harm her. Maybe swivel her mind a little but not hurt her. Not only because he cared for her but he had thought about and if Rey was hurt physically, he would be hurt as well and he did not want that. He was only growing stronger and he did not want to be scathed horribly because he had tried to hurt Rey.
"Hey, um, thanks a lot for this" Rey said, pulling on the silver tunic dress she had on right now. Kylo Ren stared at her. He was completely captivated by this scavenger and he knew it. It's cheesy but she was like an angel to him. She radiated immense light and so he had immediately thought that she was an angel. He remembered when Darth Vader had spoken to him about Padme in his dreams once. It did not really sound like Darth Vader for he felt that this man had the light within him. He assumed it had been Anakin, the man before Vader. He talked to him as if his grandson was a stranger. Of course, Vader had not known him for he had died a long time ago but so he talked and all that Kylo Ren could hear in his dream was how gorgeous this Padme. He also had assumed that this Padme woman had been his grandmother. He talked all about her and he listened, he did not want to disrespect the man he respected the most. Vader or not.
And now, Kylo Ren just wanted to talk to someone how beautiful Rey was. He would not like to do that now since he had felt that some of the stormtroopers do think that she's incredibly gorgeous and remembering that traitor, FN-2187 who had gotten so close to Rey made his blood boil a little. But he could not talk about Rey like that. Technically, even if they didn't fight for each other's throats right now, they were still enemies. Mortal enemies at that. She had hated him so much and so did he. But could he help it? He couldn't help these feelings that was messing with his head. When he had told her that she had started to fall, he did not anticipate for it to come back to him. Also, Padme had belonged to Vader or should I say, Anakin. They had both fallen in love secretly. It was forbidden, yes but what Ren is feeling is more than that. It was more than forbidden, since they were known as enemies.
"It's nothing" He replied before adding "Stay here tonight, I'll be busy so I probably won't even sleep. It's much more comfortable than that cell you have over there. I even personalized the room a little bit for you" He chuckled through his mask. Rey looked at him, had he just chuckled? He had already started to leave the room when Rey had spoken and made him look at her.
Rey smiled "Yeah, those chains were nice, bruised my hips a little. How nice of you to be considerate to decorate your prisoner's interrogation room with such flashy but dull design. You must be a whole lot sadist aren't you? Too bad I'm not a masochist" She said, laughing at her sarcastic words. Her heart had warmed when he had chuckled. Not some sort of sinister chuckle but a laugh where it had lightened her mood.
To when she had thought about that was when she realised that she was truly falling.
Thank you for all these reads in less than twenty four hours! I could never get this much quickly in Wattpad, nobody really appreciates my crap there. I like it here better. At least someone takes their time to check this story out. Even if my writing is bad and all.
