Blaze Of Glory | Kylo Ren

The Scars Of Our Love

Kylo Ren's P.O.V.

"You must look out for her..." My mother's voice echoes through my mind. "We are all she has now."

Words from my family buzz in my ears, stirring me into consciousness. Throbbing pain in my bones rises in my body as it awakeness. I can feel pinching and prodding in one of my arms. 

My head feels drained and heavy. Twitching and shaking, I continue to hear old familiar words resonating in my head.

"Don't leave me here! Please!" Anakia screams in agony. "You promised me!"

I burst awake from Ani's voice, panting for air. Blinking awake, I feel a pulsing discomfort in my arm and an emptiness in the force. Panicking from the absence, I recognize the bleakness of Luke's or Anakia's presence in the force. 

Shutting my eyes again, it becomes hard for me to breathe. The moment I close my eyes, the voices echo in my mind again.

"Leave here with me and Ani." I feel my father's hand on top of mine. "Come home. We miss you."

Groaning at the words repeating in the back of my mind, I open my eyes, trying to ignore the sounds. My eyes meet the ceiling above me and realization hits me when I see myself laying on a medical table. Glancing to my side, I see a droid working on me. 

On the other side is General Hux. We're alone in the small room. The pain in my body increases the more I awaken. 

Glancing to Hux, I see he's standing silently, and it only makes me expect the worst. He's never been one to stay quiet for so long. Feeling a burning sensation in my arm, I growl and begin breathing harshly. 

I slam my eyes shut and try to steady my heart beat. Yet the second I do, the remarks of my past masters beat at the back of my head.

"You are unbalanced because of Anakia Kenobi!" Snoke snarl vibrates in the force. "She weakens you."

"You and I both know..." I catch the sight of Luke's eyes. "I will not be the last Jedi."

It hits me then, like a blaster went off, what happened before passing out. A man took Anakia into one of our Command Shuttles and our army of At-Ats blasted at them. Last thing I can recall seeing is a blast hitting the ground closely between me and the shuttle.

"W- Where..." I cough out with a dry throat as I turn to face Hux and crack my eyes open. "... Where is Anakia? Is she okay? Is she safe?"

"It seems... The ship that took her... Crashed onto a small system, Supreme Leader." He answers in a low, emotionless tone. I sense he's sweating as my arm twitches with pain. A moment goes silent between us all until finally Hux speaks up again. "A squad reported there were no survivors."

"N-No... She can't..." Shaking my head, stung by his words, I choke out in panic. "She's alive- I- I would've felt it. She's alive!"

Shouting, with anger rising in my chest, I sit up and yank away from the droid. Pain shoots through my arm as I try to get up. My arms rise and I see one with a metal hand and forearm with wires attached. 

Losing the breath in my lungs, I stare at the wires and hardware sowed into my skin. The sight of the machine connected to me reminds me of the last words Anakia spoke. Followed by the actions we both made to one another.
