Hiding In Plain Sight | Kylo Ren & Knights of Ren X OC

Chapter 5

Authors Note: If you're still following along, thank you! I wrote this mostly for myself. I enjoy writing but had never, ever had a go at fanfiction. I wont lie and say I am an expert on star wars, or anything. But I am enjoying this story. I hope you are too! I would love to hear what you think. Again, if you're at this point and still reading, thank you! This is probably one of the more longer chapters I've written. I'm trying to upload then every few days whilst the story is fresh and I am excited to write it. It's pretty slow burn, but I feel like how I've written the characters, it makes sense. This chapter is pretty light hearted, but also gives some background on Nova which is important.

---- Nova POV ----

You had just sent off the report, and was considering whether to go to bed when your datapad sounded. You wondered if it was Hux or the Commander about your report already. You leaned over and grabbed it.

Sender; KoR V
Recipient; Maj. N Carbynia-Pryde

Come party with us. Buzzard is waiting, Red. - V

You smiled at his message and considered it, you ran your tongue bar over your teeth as you weighed up the pros and cons. You would like to get to know the Knights, Vicrul had been interesting. The others seemed so too. And their party had sounded miles more interesting than your dinner with Hux. You pulled off your dress from dinner, and pulled on some black skinny jeans,combat boots and a vest top. You let down your hair and fluffed it a little. What the hell... a couple of drinks couldn't hurt. Sneaking off the Transport was relatively easy, not that you were a prisoner,you just didn't want to upset Hux by disturbing him. You walked over to the Night Buzzard which was loud with the rumble of male laughter and clinking glass, and knocked on the blast door, then stepped aside for the ramp to open.

The noise inside went quiet immediately, and you wondered whether this had been a bad idea. Was the Commander going to be there? Would you be in trouble with him for partying with the Knights? Would he be drinking? Would he have his mask off? Would the other Knights? You were pulled from your thoughts by the sound of the ramp lowering, followed by Vicrul's deep voice.

"Come on in Red. I'm glad you could join us." Vicrul grinned and gestured for you to come aboard.

You smiled at Vicrul, and followed him aboard the Night Buzzard, the ramp lifting behind you and the blast door closing. You followed the Knight through the Night Buzzard, and the noise of the other Knights had picked up again. You walked into what must be the common area of the Buzzard, and was met by the sight of the rest of the Knights, still clad in their armor and helmets.You weren't sure how they managed to party in their helmets but you assumed that they'd had years to somehow perfect the task.

Vicrul spoke up, "Knights. Nova Carbynia. Nova, this is..." Vicrul pointed at each Knight as hewent around the room, "Trudgen, Cardo, Ushar, Kuruk, Ap'lek and I'm sure you're already familiar with Master Ren." He pointed over at Kylo Ren sat in the corner of the room, the black visor of his helmet fixed on you.

"Commander." You nodded and gave a small smile.

"Major," came a modulated response.

"You can call me Nova, sir." You wasn't sure what else to say, and this was after all, a social setting, not a professional one in the slightest.

"Then I think we can stretch to Kylo for this evening, Nova." You nodded at his response again.

"You want something to drink, Nova?"The Knight Vicrul had introduced as Ushar asked.

"Maker yes! Anything is great by me,except wine. I've already sunk two bottles with Hux over dinner."

"You're dating Hugs?" Ap'lek asked with disgust.
