THE FATE

CHAPTER 11

We took that walk down the long and narrow hallway to Snoke's lair. Each time I have crossed these paths, I felt uneasy and felt like I'm being watched. 

We approached the elevator when we both stepped on. "You're coming with?" I asked Kor. "Yes, Snoke had requested my presence as well," he replied. 

Why didn't he tell me. My heart was beginning to race throughout my body. Any strength I had left in me, I used to put up my walls so Snoke can't feel how weak I am. Or I at least hoped he wouldn't be able to feel it. 

The elevator moved too quickly and the doors hissed open to reveal the skin covered skeleton. 

"Darth Valla and Kor, welcome," he hissed throughout the room. There were shadows that covered the entire room more than what I've seen before. Almost like some more darker evil was at work here.  

We both bowed in unison and walked closer to Snoke on his throne. Kor began to kneel next to me looking up at Snoke. We haven't gone to Snoke together, and it's like Kor was a different person in-front of him. Kor had this emotionless mask he was wearing, I completely envied him. I attempted to do the same, but I know I wouldn't be strong enough. 

"On your knees child," Snoke said. 

A force of strength brought me to my knees without my doing. In this moment, I knew I've lost everything. I felt the sadness overcome me. 

"Come closer to me," he called out. I attempted to stand up and I was met with resistance. I knew exactly how this meeting was going to go. I've seen Kylo return back from Snoke with black eyes and busted lips. I thought I would be spared from that fate, but someday this was going to happen to me. I would disappoint the one person, I never should have. 

I started to hover above the ground and then I was lifted and brought to Snoke's throne. 

"Kylo Ren has counseled me that you were ready for your final training, but yet it seems as if you have disobeyed his order," Snoke said with a cunning voice. 

I just nodded. I didn't know what to say, I didn't think I was disobeying Snoke. 

"Answer me!" He yelled and he reached his hand back and hit my cheek with such force, that I slid on the marble flooring. I put my hands under me and began to lift myself up. My mental blocks have been crushed. They felt like water in mud. 

Snoke stood up from his throne to stand in front of me. I submitted down and got on my knees to bow to him. 

"Supreme Commander, it's my fault, I distracted her from her duties," Kor interjected from across the room. I felt his panic in his voice, his desperation. I still couldn't be saved from Snoke's ill temper. 

Snoke looked down on me and used the force to lift me up. "Not only do you stop training, but you go on Tatooine for a lead that you never checked into." I could feel my eyes began to flood from the pain, I deserved this. My face hit the floor and he dragged me across the hard cold marble floor. I let out a belting scream this time. There is no mental wall that I could hold anymore, in this moment I have given up. 

I rolled over and got to my knees again, not looking at Snoke in the face. I felt the warm blood bubbling under my cheeks and my eyes were burning. 

"Supreme Commander, please, I caused the mission to fail," Kor said again. 

"Quiet down," Snoke yelled to Kor. Kor began to groan out in pain for a few seconds. 

Snoke walked over and firmly grabbed my chin to pull my head up to him. "Don't ever make this mistake again, or next time it will be worse," he snipped at me and took his hand to my neck and threw me down again.
