Her Capture

It started once Rey had shot out of the Maz's palace, when BB-8 had followed her. She had been tasked with keeping all of them safe and right now, she was worried for Rey's safety.

Her hand went to his lightsaber as she walked down the stairs and started to go after Rey, but was stopped by Maz, "Let her go, she needs to think things over."

The girl looked down at the familiar lightsaber Maz was holding, "It called to Rey." The little female explained, a soft sigh escaping her.

"I have to go after Rey." Once again, she was stopped, "Hope, there isn't a thing you can do." Oh, but she was determined, "I will be back." She said before taking off into the forest, attempting to follow after the path that Rey had taken.

She didn't dare call out for the girl, she didn't know why - but something just felt off. And she didn't want to make it more so by yelling in the forest to possible attract a predator here. Well, the predator she was talking about was supposed to be an animal, and in some ways, he was an animal.

Her eyes turning to the sky and her mouth opened in shock, seeing a faint red beam - from afar, destroying... neighboring planets, "Oh my God..." she whispered in shock as she ran a hand through her hair, tears clouding her eyes as she took a step back, her heart crippling in fear. How could someone /do/ something like that?!

An answer didn't come to Hope's mind, but fear settled in as she heard the sound of ship approaching, and she had to look up again, seeing that it was The First Order. Shit, she had to find Rey.

The girl didn't waste a second longer as she started to run as fast as she could, panic taking over her mind she desperately looked for the other, though Hope didn't have to look far as she happened to run into Rey, almost.

She tripped a bit as Rey stepped to the side, but her hand shot out and she grabbed the other girl's arm, "Hope?" She asked, obviously bewildered that she was hear, "The First Order, they've come." Hope explained breathlessly, oh yeah she was panicked. They had to hide, more importantly, she had to hide because she was one of the people who had put the others in danger.

She knew where Luke was, she knew the solar system she knew the planet, the one way she knew was because she had been with him, but recently, he decided to send her away, which was plain out stupid on his part because she had now become a target by The First Order.

And why had she not come to anyone with this information? Especially the Resistance, it was because Luke and made her promise, to swear on her mother's grave that she would not tell a soul, no matter how hard she was pressured. And she didn't know why he would want that...

"BB-8, you need to leave. Get out of here, go as far away as possible." Rey said as she knelt beside him, and placed a hand on the droid's head, and he beeped to her a few times as she stood up, "I hope so too."

"Hope, we need to split up, circle around them and take out as many as we can." Rey said as she pulled her blaster out.

In Hope's opinion, it wasn't a good idea. But there was no time for arguing, who knew who was in danger. So she listened to Rey and headed off in a different direction, her hand near her lightsaber, ready to use it if necessary, but she didn't want to use it. She just felt apart from it ever since that day...

While she was running, still deep inside her thoughts, stormtroopers had seen her flash by, "You there! Halt!" One of them called, three broke off from the group and ran after her, drawing the attention of a certain Sith Lord.

His eyes narrowed as he decided to follow the stormtroopers to see what they had seen, in case it was the girl he was looking for.

Hope tried not to panic when she heard them yell to her, she don't stop or listen to them. She just ran faster, her hand now where her lightsaber was in case she had to use it, which she would prefer the opposite, but some things are inevitable. Just as being stopped by a man who wore a metal helmet.

Kylo Ren stepped from the trees to block her path, making the girl skid to a stop, "Hope..." he hummed, almost purred in his deep disoriented voice. It was the strangest thing she had ever heard - it made her stomach roll in fear and bunch up in disgust, "You." She growled out, still managing to make her voice strong, despite the bike taste in her mouth as she remembered the screams of her friends, of his friends. How he just slaughtered them all with a grin on his face.

"What do you want?!" Hope demanded as she gripped her saber even tighter, but didn't pull it out. She knew what he wanted, it wasn't hard to tell. He want the map, the directions, the solar system to Luke. Claiming he would finish the Jedi off.

He wasn't the last, well... he would be... if Kylo could get Hope over to his side. And then all the Jedi will be gone... and chaos would reign no more.

"You know what I want. Just give it to me... I can spare you the pain." He said as he stepped closer to her, and she did feel threatened, since she suddenly jerked her lightsaber out and pressed the button to activate it. Immediately holding up and at him, Kylo Rem stopped and chuckled slightly, oh but he was laughing at her weak attempt to fend him off.

"As you wish." He said, knowing he couldn't convince her, so he forced her to stay frozen in that position while walking around to her side and waving his hand in front of her face, and instantly, she fell to unconsciousness. The man levitated her off the ground before calling for the Stormtroopers to hold her.

He bent down and picked up the girl's lightsaber before walking off, knowing he had to get the other girl if this one refused. No matter... He always got what he wanted.
