Rey felt her heart pounding as she yanked desperately on her restraints. There was no way she could stay here for more than a day. The Resistance needed her, and she needed to protect the map to Luke Skywalker. Plus, she was already afraid of what would happen when Kylo Ren returned. When he had left, Rey could feel rage flowing from him. Never again did she want to be confronted with his anger, if she could help it.

She had never anticipated being captured by the First Order. If she had known she might have left with Finn to avoid this whole ordeal. Rey wondered where Finn was – by now he must be in the outer rim. At least he was probably getting what he wanted, freedom from the First Order and a new life.

They had parted ways at the cantina on Takodana, he had decided to take work to escape to the outer rim and start a new life, a life free of the First Order. Finn had begged her to go with and join him, but Rey would never be content running away. They had had a mission to return BB-8 to the Resistance – Rey wasn't the type to go back on her word, not ever. Rey had been quite shocked and hurt by Finn's abrupt departure, even though they hadn't known each other that long Rey would never have left Finn on his own. Never.

Rey had always felt she was a loyal person, loyal to the slim amount of friends she had on Jakku, but especially loyal to the family that had given her up. In all the years she lived on Jakku, she had considered leaving, but Rey could never bring herself to actually leave the planet. Poverty had played a role, but she also couldn't bring herself to abandon the last place her family would look for her. If she ran away, there was a chance she would miss her family's return. The possibility of seeing her family had kept her there on Jakku, like a moon caught in a planet's gravity.

She had considered returning to Jakku after landing on Takodana; there was that slim chance her family could have returned. But Maz had told Rey the happiness she was looking for was not behind on Jakku, but ahead of her. Maz was a mystical woman and oddly enough Rey trusted her. She hoped that Maz's statement was alluding that her family was out there. Maybe they didn't have the intention of ever returning to Jakku, but maybe they were still out there, alive, safe – waiting for her.

For what that was worth, Rey didn't see hiding away on Jakku as an option anymore. No, she had to be brave and face a new destiny.

In that moment, all her thoughts were distributed when she felt it, a dark presence closing in, making its way toward her. Kylo Ren, he was coming back – she could sense it.

Rey viciously began tugging on her bonds. Her heart was pounding against her rib cage like a hand against a drum. There was no way to know what Kylo would do, she was sure he would use a more traditional form of torture to get his information now.

It was too late to make any escape, Rey looked up as the door opened and Kylo Ren walked in. There was an urgency in his gait that made her nervous. Ren's black robes swished slightly behind him as the door closed – and they were left in solitude.

Kylo had put his mask back on, she knew he was trying to intimidate her. At first his true identity had frightened her, but now Rey wished she could see his face once again, she found it hard to be terrified when she was reminded Kylo was as human as her. Trepidation grasped her tight, as Ren stalked around her, he knew she was his prey, and he wanted to remind her of that.

"I want the map," Kylo hissed, his robotic voice rang in her ears distinctly. "And you will give it to me one way or another. You can make this simple, or you can make this very difficult for yourself."

"What?" Rey exclaimed with surprise. "You're giving me an option?"

This had to be some type of trap, a complete scam. There was no way Kylo Ren would make this easy for her. They both must be deadly options that led to her demise. Rey listened to him, but with harsh skepticism.

"Yes, I am willing to give you an option. You can either give me the map in exchange for some basic Jedi training and then I will send you to the Supreme Leader. Or I can torture you until you give me the information and then I will send you to the Supreme Leader. Your choice."

Kylo was very calm as he relayed the deal to her. She could hardly understand why he would want her around, or why he was even willing to train his enemy. Wasn't she just a liability to him, nothing more than a headache or problem.

"Why would you train me," she questioned doubtfully. "I could just turn on you." Her bold remark seemed to only fuel Kylo Ren's irritation.

"The chance of you beating me in combat is improbable, and even if I trained you for weeks, you wouldn't even be close to the skill I have achieved. I'm not afraid of you," he retorted, hastily. For a second Rey was certain she heard hints of uncertainty gliding through his synthetic voice.

A smirk played across Rey's lips almost against her will. "And if I take the training and refuse to give you the information?"

Kylo clenched his fists, she could feel anger bubbling up inside him. He leaned in so close to her she could see the small snatches in his black mask. "I will torture you in ways you could never imagine. Ways that will scar you forever, ways that will make you wish you were dead."

Rey felt a chill run up her spine and circulate around her whole body. Kylo was dead serious about torturing her. For some reason the torture seemed like a definite end result, that even if she took the training there was going to be torture involved.

"Why would you waste your time training me?" She didn't see what he gained from this, there must be some hidden reward she was unaware of.

"I have my reasons, but I'm not inclined to share them with you," Kylo replied.

"How long will you be training me, you're not going to train me for two days and then expect me to give up the map? Because I will refuse then." She stated, there was no way she was going to have him just plainly take advantage of her, if she could help it.

"I will train you as long as I feel it's necessary and as long as you wish to cooperate. You're in no position to negotiate anyway. Now choose." Kylo said sternly. Rey sighed, obviously Kylo Ren wasn't a patient man, this type of decision couldn't be made in a split second.

Rey thought about it, taking the training would be smart, extremely incisive in her opinion – Kylo Ren would be giving her an edge when it came to the Force. If there was a chance the Resistance was planning on rescuing her, this time extension could work in her favor.

Though she wasn't excited to be spending time with Kylo Ren, he was nothing more than a vile monster, and she had survived unscathed from monsters back at Niima Outpost. Unkar had been a pretty nasty bully to tangle with and she'd outsmarted him often enough by tricking him out of portions a few times. In reality, Rey knew there was a big difference between outmaneuvering a junk lord and besting a dark-hearted Jedi Knight. There were very stark differences between them but Rey would try her best not to cower in the face of the Dark Lord.

Rey mulled over her choices apprehensively – the Jedi training could be invaluable, and an opportunity she might never get again if the First Order got to Luke Skywalker first. Of course, she would do everything in her power to thwart the First Order from so much as touching the famous Jedi Master.

She sighed, before she gave Kylo her answer. He had finally stopped pacing and now her was standing in front of her, impatiently awaiting her reply. "I'll take your training in exchange for the map."

"Good, we will start tomorrow." There was a moment of silence before Kylo whirled around and was about to leave. She heard his boots collide with the metal floor as he approached the exit.

"Wait," she called to him. As soon as she spoke her voice was caught in her throat, as if a brick was pressing against her vocal chords. It took Rey a few seconds for her to banish the lump in her throat. "Can I make a request, or maybe two?"

Kylo whipped around, there was a drastic change in the air between them. He was highly annoyed by her asking anything of him. She knew she wasn't really in the position to make requests, but she hadn't eaten since the cantina and it had been a week since she had bathed last.

"I will consider them based on the requests," he said, coldly. It was being obvious that he wasn't the type of man that was used to negotiating.

"While training, could you not wear the mask? Seeing your face would help with my training – I mean." She felt embarrassed asking now – heat was rising to her cheeks. "I just think it would make me feel more comfortable with learning."

Her voice sounded flustered and less confident than she was feeling. Rey quickly gathered her thoughts, and straightened up her composure.

Kylo remained silent, he didn't even reply to her request.

"And my second request is less irrational. Could I possibly eat and bath?" Ren still hadn't even responded to her requests. Rey hoped she hadn't overstepped her bounds.

She became nervous as Kylo turned to face her fully, there was no way she could be certain of what he was thinking. He took a few amble steps toward her, that was when he extended his hand directly at her head and Rey felt darkness closing in around her once more.

[A/N]: Hey guys, thank you so much for reading my next chapter. All your support really means a lot to me, so thank you. If you have time to write a quick review on how you think the chapter went, that would be highly appreciated. Next chapter will be from Kylo's perspective again.
