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

Chapter 8

Author's note: There's smut in this chapter, it's the end so you can avoid it if it's not your thing. Please be patient with me, and kind. I've never written smut, but I wanted to give it a go. It's not a healthy representation of a Dom/Sub relationship or BDSM sex. Please don't use fanfiction as a teaching tool for that kinda thing. Big loves - Lex

---- Kylo POV ----

Kylo had just arrived at the Supremacy when his datapad sounded. He pulled it out and checked the message knowing he had to be in with Snoke in the next 5 minutes.

Sender: Maj. N. Carbynia-Pryde
Recipient: Comm. K. Ren.

I made food over at the Knights place. Don't worry, I cleaned the kitchen first. It's all plated should you want it. If not, I'll wrap it and have a droid put it in your fridge in your quarters. It should keep for a day or so. - Nova.

He smiled to himself, and hoped he could wrap this up quick with Snoke. He wanted to be back on the Finalizer. And he had to admit, he was starving. He often neglected the needs of his body, too focused on the tasks in front of him. He couldn't remember the last time someone had taken the time to see to his needs, that weren't him fucking them which had something in it for them. Making him food and making sure it was available to him by her own choice and not by his order was a foreign concept. People didn't just do things for him out of kindness. But he got the impression that Nova just did it. She didn't think about it, she didn't think she could get something for it. He'd noticed it on the Buzzard, she'd clear up after them without a word, still talking to them like she was working subconsciously. She'd push food toward whichever of them she hadn't seen eat yet, without a word to the man as to not draw attention to the fact he hadn't eaten, still maintaining her conversation with the others. She was slowly but surely proving herself a worthy friend to the Knights, and to him. But now he had a meeting with Snoke, and he had to put that to the back of his mind and hide as much as he could about Nova as to protect her, and himself.

Thank you. I have a meeting. I should be back later. If I am not back, the code to my quarters is 27656. - K

He put his datapad away, and headed into Snoke's throne room. He took a knee before the Supreme Leader, and bowed his head. "Supreme Leader."

"The mighty Kylo Ren. What of the scavenger girl? Or do you continue to fail me."

"We are still searching for her and the droid. We will get her."

"Take that thing off." Snoke barked at Kylo, who took off his helmet with a hiss, "And what else. That is not what you are here to discuss. A traitor in our midst?"

"The Pryde girl. I believe General Pryde hid that she is Force Sensitive."

"Something has begun."

"Yes, I think so too. I feel it too. I believe she is force sensitive, Supreme Leader. Her physical upon joining the Finalizer... she has a high midichlorian count. But it seems to be damaged, healing slowly but surely. And her memories....Are dark." He was choosing his words carefully. He didn't want Snoke to take Nova. But he couldn't lie to his master. Snoke learned everything in the end. And lying, even by omission, could get them both hurt.

"I haven't sensed an awakening. A presence." Kylo had never heard that tone in Snoke's voice. It was uncertain. Still dark and cruel, but he was unsure. Kylo was almost stunned but kept a control of himself and his mind.

"She somehow is able to mask it. She doesn't understand or know how, as if the Force itself is keeping her hidden to protect her whilst it heals within her cells. To try to search her mind... causes me pain as well as her. To go into her mind is like being in quick sand, or tar. Thick and blurry and jarring. In her mind. There are Sith. I saw them when I pushed into her mind. Sith words on the ship she was on being frozen. The ship..."
