Saved by the Dark

Pt.34

The next morning, Aalya stirred on a VERY soft and cloud like feeling surface. She smelled the floral scent as she opened her eyes. Her head turned on her pillow to see Kylo across from her. Not fully awake, she sat up to observe her surroundings. The room oddly was white and had bookcases, the waves crashing on the shore could be heard too.

It was sunny outside as well as the sun beams came through the window. She then looked at Kylo, the facial bandage had been removed, revealing his scar. It was not bad honestly. Looked like one never existed. His dark messy hair was partially in his face as well. One of her favorite views. Aalya placed her hand on his side and ran her hand down. Kylo stirred and slowly awoke. He saw her through his messy locks. ''Sleep well?''

Aalya laid back down and smiled at him. ''Of course, I had my master to watch over me.'' ''I think I'm a little more than just your master,'' Kylo said. Aalya leaned over and kissed him. ''You're right,'' she said sleepily. Kylo had other plans as well but he kept them well hidden in his mind. She looked down as something metal was in the way. ''It's not safe to sleep with a lightsaber,'' she said lazily using his chest as her pillow. ''You're so warm,'' she added.

Kylo used the force to bring up his lightsaber hilt and dismantle it above her. ''Not as warm as you, I don't have fire inside,'' Kylo said. He used the force to put his hilt back together and then on the bedside table. Kylo then sighed and groaned. ''We still have to get some of our stuff from the ship, I also hope there are no Shaak's out there.'' Aalya rose her head. ''What are those?'' she asked. ''Lazy, annoying, stupid, fat creatures who love fields,'' Kylo responded.

Aalya laughed at Kylo's annoyance. Then something else came to her mind. ''I'll go out and retrieve our remaining bags, you stay put and rest. Your mind is willing, but your body says otherwise,'' she said and stood up. Kylo tried to say something, but was quickly silenced. He also took some medication the doctor prescribed for healing and pain relief. Aalya watched to make sure he took it. After he drank the glass of water, the medication took effect quickly as he slouched sand laid back down as before. Within minutes, he was fast asleep.

She wanted Kylo to heal so he wouldn't be trapped in beds or have physical pain. Before she left, she caressed his cheek, leaving light from her fingers. The warmth sunk into Kylo's body and he smiled in his sleep. Aalya then got up and went outside to the ship. Sure enough, there were Shaaks. They were odd and ugly looking creatures. They were eating the grasses and sniffing things.

Aalya quickly went in and retrieved the bags and her pike hilt. She had set the ramp to close when she got off the ship. As she touched ground and the ramp had closed, one of those creatures were in front of her! It made a weird noise and sniffed her. It smelled AWFUL. This planet was beautiful and strange at the same time.

When she returned inside, she decided to brew some tea. She started to gather some wood for the fireplace. As the fire was lit, she waited until it grew. Meanwhile, she looked around the room. There were HUNDREDS of books along with some relics and statues. When the fire was ready, she placed the kettle on.

The tea did not take long to make. She poured it into two mugs, then took one of the mugs into were Kylo was. Aalya sat in the chair by the bed as she placed his on the side table. Sure enough, the scent stirred him awake. He opened his eye's slowly and looked at her. A smile slowly appeared on his face. He slowly sat up and then saw the hot mug of tea. ''Is that for me?'' he asked as Aalya nodded and took a sip.

Kylo moved over on the bed and sat cross legged. He picked up the mug and took a sip. It tasted very good and a little different. Like some fruit was added. ''Did you add something? Because it's REALLY good,'' he said as he took another drink. ''It's just some citrus,'' Aalya explained. ''I picked it up long ago.'' It make Kylo take two more big gulps until he finished it. He placed the mug on the table after. ''I need to get into the bathtub, I cannot stand no more of this bed bathing,'' Kylo said.

Aalya finished her tea as well. ''Do you want me to turn on the water and get it filled?'' Kylo nodded and Aalya got up and ventured to the bathroom. She plugged the drain with the cork and turned the water on. Not too hot and not too cold, a nice warm. Kylo met her in the doorway as the water finished. Kylo began to undress. ''I'll need some help,'' he admitted. She helped him undress. The belt along with his two shirts came off, she then peeled the shoulder bandage back. It was fully healed. There was a scar, but that was expected.

Other scars and scrapes were on his arms and torso too. She held his bandaged hands in hers and slowly unwrapped each one individually. The cuts, scrapes, and burns were fully healed as well. Last was the side injury on his low side. This was the worst as she unwrapped it slowly. Aalya could tell by his expression's and hisses it still stung. It was lightly scabbed over with some rawness. This wasn't a lightsaber injury, this was done by blast.

As she inched his pants a little lower, he pressed them both against the wall. Kissing hungrily and not being ''active'' for a few weeks was unbarring. Although it hurt, Kylo got the remainder of his clothes off. You could tell by the furious pace that both wanted this real bad. But Aalya stopped it and kissed his forehead. Kylo hid his head in her shoulder. ''I know....,'' she said as she ran her fingers through his hair.
