Blaze Of Glory | Kylo Ren

Dancing With The Devil

Kylo Ren's P.O.V.

"Kylo!"

Pulling the towel away from my sweaty face, I hear someone calling my name in an alarm. I quickly put my shirt and helmet on before turning away from the table. 

I just finished my morning physical workout when I hear the voice of General Hux, the second closest man to Snoke. General Hux runs into my personal gym breathless. 

"Where- Kylo Ren. Have you not noticed we have a situation with your Kenobi?!"

"What are you talking about?" The sight of him made me spit out, annoyed. I strap on my light saber and slowly stride toward him. "I locked Anakia in my room-"

"Not anymore. That Kenobi girl is slaughtering our soldiers as we speak!" He announces in the hysteria of becoming one of them. "She somehow got her hands on Mandalorian armor and a light saber. How could you let this happen?"

"What?" 

I let out in disbelief; immediately I stock toward him, feeling my anger forming quickly at the thought of what Anakia's doing at this moment. I had left her in my room this morning thinking she'd be good and stay put until I returned. The way she acted in the middle of the night had me at least think she would not try to run away from me. 

The anger consumes me when I realize the mistake of showing her the armor I saved for her. No doubt she also found the only rare color light saber I kept hidden. When I reach Hux, we both storm the direction he just came from, peering at him through the mask I demand. 

"Where is she?"

"They notified me of her presence in a hall near the hangar." 

He explains in frustration about the situation I put us in. We race down the hall and I watch stormtroopers running in the same direction we're going. General Hux spits out just as heated as me. 

"Where did she get the armor and saber, Kylo? You told us she would stay in your room until further notice. Were you really stupid enough to keep her there with-"

"I will deal with her." I interrupt him and point a threatening finger his way. "Just show me where she is."

The man clenches his face, saying nothing more. He only walks faster to the last spot she was at. I feel anger swell at the idea of Ani disobeying me. 

This is what I worried about yesterday. After the past 24 hours, I had left my guard down thinking she was going to listening to me. Of course, she doesn't, but she just waits for the opportunity to strike back. 

If I'm able to contain her again, I will have to fight with both Snoke and General Hux on why we shouldn't kill her. The more stormtroopers she kills, the harder it will be for me to persuade them she's an important asset to the First Order. Hux directs me through a few halls until I can feel her with the force myself. 

I walk past Hux as the feeling of her force gets louder in my mind. Turning another corner, I see her at the very end of the hall. She's two turns away from reaching the hangar.

The sight of her starts General Hux to back up and go back down the hall we just came from. Ani finishes slicing off a trooper's head when she glances up to find me at the other end of the hall. For a second, we watch each other across the hall covered in our helmets. 

I never thought I see the day with her in her father's armor, but then again, I bet she never thought of seeing me in a black helmet from the knights of Ren. She holding the purple light saber tightly in her hand and I know without a doubt I will have to rip it out of her grasp.
