If Hux Could Kill || Kylo Ren

Follow My Lead

TW: blood, violence

"Run." He breathed. I froze, watching him take off and disappear behind several of the stacked containers. I eventually followed suit, running the other direction.

Bullets were now flying, where they were coming from, I couldn't yet tell.

I shoved myself against one of the metal containers, my back roaring in pain as it impacted. I pulled the first gun from where it sat on my thigh, moving swiftly and quietly to the edge, attempting to see where the bullets were coming from. I watched as the windshield of the car shattered under the rain. Then came the sharp pain in my left arm. I reached up, feeling the wet touch of blood.

I had been shot, or rather a bullet had grazed my skin. It wasn't major, something that didn't need immediate attention, nothing I couldn't handle.

My breathing was heavy as I once again turned my gaze to where I watched Kylo disappear to. The firing eventually calmed down, Kylo and I now out of sight. I bit my lip as I contemplated what I could do next, what would be the smartest move. We were at a great disadvantage since we couldn't see our enemies, but that didn't mean we would let them win.

I glanced around, looking for a place to get a better vantage point, the best place to start was a good vantage point. My eyes locked on the car, I could hide behind the car.

I took a deep breathe, my hands held steady and tight on the gun in my hand. I knew I could easily maneuver to the car, not doubt, but that didn't mean the feeling of fear never appeared. It was what fueled me, especially in my younger years. What drove that adrenaline rush, what made me my best.

Without letting myself overthink, I pushed myself off the container and towards the car. As my back collided with the rear of the car, I let out a huff of air, my breathe nearly leaving me at the impact. Why I kept nearly bruising myself, I couldn't be sure. But I didn't have time to think about that now as I felt the warmness of more blood trickling down my arm.

I raised it up, looking over to notice a small cut. It was growing larger, but I would have to wait to give it any attention, I didn't have any to spare at the moment. Plus, I had delt with much worse than a minor bullet graze.

I whipped my head to side as I heard a voice echoing through the dark.

"What are you doing!" I heard Kylo yell. I turned to my right, barely able to see him through the darkness.

"Trying to find a way out of this!" I shot back, moving abruptly back as another bullet flew by, dangerously close.

I turned my head once again, noticing Kylo roll his body enough that he could raise his gun and shot. Once he did, he looked back to me.

"I have everything under control!" He yelled back.

I rolled my eyes at him, not that he would be able to tell.

"Looks like it!" I responded, my frustration and annoyance clear in my tone.

At that, another onslaught of bullets rained around me, but I didn't let the surprise make me falter.

I pressed harder into the car as I waited for a break in the fire, the echo of the bullet crashing against the concrete, car, and metal containers filling my ears.

Then it finally came.

I pushed myself onto my heels, not letting myself hesitate even for a moment as I forced my body towards where I knew Kylo was.

My body was in full momentum as it slammed into Kylo, hard. Without thinking, he wrapped his arms around me, helping me stop my motion. My hands colliding with his firm chest, a small noise of surprise escaping me.
