Rey walked back inside with Kylo after their hard training. Both of them had sweat all over them, washing off the dirt they attracted on their bodies.

Once the elevator touched down, the two of them swiftly marched down the hall with confidence, storm troopers saluting both of them with respect. They nearly owned the place, until Hux stood in front of the two of them, cutting off their stride.

Kylo stopped, but Rey made the mistake of bumping into him. Hux looked down at her with disgust, and she took a step back.

Hux looked at Kylo, completely ignoring Rey's presence. "Snoke would like to talk to you… privately."

Kylo took a hard swallow before nodding, not bothering to look at Rey before he left. Kylo left Hux and Rey alone, where they had an intense stare down. Rey narrowed her eyes at Hux's features, his pasty white skin, glassy blue eyes, and a slightly hollow face.

"I feel as if we started on the wrong page," Hux finally spoke to break the silence, but not the tension.

"Really?" Rey questioned rhetorically.

Hux took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose. It was almost as if he was trying to be nice to her.

Rey could tell Hux was struggling to even speak to her because he thought so lowly of her. She brushed into his mind.

"This light side scum-"

Hux cut off his thought, realizing that she was reading his mind.

"You little bratty bi-"

"General Hux," a strong metallic voice interrupted.

They both turned to see Captain Phasma standing confidently. Rey quickly observed her polished silver trooper uniform. Hux looked at her blankly.

"The control room needs your assistance," Phasma spoke, also not looking at Rey.

Hux took a deep breath, relieved that this conversation was over with. He turned to Rey and said sourly "A conversation for another time perhaps?"

"Yeah… sure…" Rey agreed.

Since Rey was alone, she went back to the surface to tend to her garden.


Finn finally arrived at Dantooine on what felt like a long and excruciating trip. It wasn't easy dodging random meteors floating in outer space. It took Finn at least thirty minutes to figure out how to go light speed.

Nonetheless, he made it to the planet. However, as soon as he set foot on the planet he had no idea where to go. He kept walking until he found some footprints that were similar to what Rey had found. The only difference was that these were fresh.

Finn was terrified and couldn't imagine how Rey even felt. Then again, Finn had much more on his plate. He's almost positive that the First Order will murder him.

After a solid hour of following footprints, he heard running behind him. That was when he realized he made the stupid mistake of following the footsteps the wrong way.

He turned around, eyes wide with a gasp to see five storm troopers dashing towards him.

"TRAITOR!" One of them yelled, pointing at Finn.

Finn turned forward and began running as fast as he could. The dirt grew wet, making it harder to run. He didn't come equipped with anything, which he now regretted.

"What the hell was I thinking?! How could I have thought that I could run into the base and walk out with Rey?! Stupid!" Finn scolded himself mentally.

He felt a pain smash into his leg, causing him to scream and fall. It felt like someone had burned a cigarra into his skin and it was burning through his flesh and bones. Imagine that, but times ten with a bigger cigarra.

The storm troopers clocked him on the back of the head, causing him to drop his face into the dirt.


Kylo stood in front of Supreme Leader Snoke, looking incredibly displeased.

"Kylo… I feel a lack of faith with you. It's making me angry," Snoke leaned forward, getting closer to Kylo.

"Forgive me, the supreme leader," Kylo bowed his head down with guilt. "I assure you that I do not wish to steer away from our goal. Our destiny. My destiny."

"Bah!" Snoke waved his hand in the air, throwing Kylo back full force into a wall. Defeated, Kylo fell to the floor and remained seated. The back of his head stung and he attempted to regain the life that knocked out of his lungs. He took off his mask and dug his hand through his thick raven black hair.

"The girl is much stronger than you may ever be. Maybe I should use her instead of you…" Snoke looked away from Kylo in disgust. At that moment, Snoke had realized that his greatest gift was under his nose all along.

"Ah… yes," Snoke drew out the words with his low gritty voice.

Kylo looked up to Snoke, feeling blood on his own hand. The creature looked down at Kylo before saying "Bring me the girl. I believe we have much to talk about."

Kylo didn't want to bring Rey. It was a mix of Kylo being jealous and the fact that Rey hasn't practiced nearly as much as he would have liked.

Kylo stood up sourly, putting on his mask before leaving the room as Snoke's hologram faded away. He stormed over to the elevator, sensing that Rey was on the upside.

"Sir?" One of the officers rushed up behind Kylo, who swirled around and stuck out his arm, bending his fingers just right to grab the officer and pull him close to Kylo. He and the officer were now face to face.

"What?" Kylo sneered in disdain.

The officer managed to choke out "A-A group of stormtroopers scouting the outdoors captured FN-2187…"

Kylo yelled in anger, throwing the officer to the wall like a rag doll.

"The girl led the resistance to us…" Kylo thought to himself.

He made it to the elevator and started going up.


Rey had just finished her beautiful little garden. Some of the plants grew fast, while others were just seedlings. She sat on the bench feeling like this was the one place she could be sane at. The one place where she could meditate.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, imagining the island that she always thinks of. The waves crashing on the shore, before receding into the ocean.

"REY!" Kylo shouted at the top of his lungs. Rey's eyes popped open to see Kylo throw his mask on the ground before wielding his lightsaber.

Rey quickly got up and pulled out her saber. She positioned herself into fighting stance, not knowing what to expect from Kylo this time.

AN: Thankfully this chapter is a little bit longer than the last one. I am really excited about these next five or six chapters because whew! Everyone needs to hang on tight to their seats.
