PART THREE
" It's hard to remember the people we used to be "

Kylo Ren took long strides to where the Stormtroopers had captured Tekka. He immedietly spoke, like he had planned this conversation all along, "Look how old you've become.

"Whereas something far worse has happened to you." Tekka replied. Kylo Ren didn't seem fazed. He didn't kill Tecca right there, or yell at him. He just stood there, making it look like he was bored with the conversation.

"You know what I've come for." 

"I know where you've come from. Before you called yourself Kylo Ren." 

"The map to Skywalker." Kylo Ren said impatiently. He was getting irritated.

The leather pouch burned in her hand. The artifact. The map.  Zayla turned from the conversation and held the pouch in front of BB-8.

"You need to take it." She whispered.

BB-8 whirred and opened and opening allowing Zayla to put the pouch safely in BB-8. "Now go! I will get Poe. We will meet you." BB-8 hesitated, "Go!" Zayla whispered furiously. BB-8 rolled away quietly to the unknown places of Jakku.

"The First Order came from the Dark Side. You did not."

"I will show you the Dark Side."

Tecco paused, "You many try. But you cannot deny the truth, that you love her" Her? Who could be 'her'? Leia maybe? It could not be Zayla, for she had just met Tecca.

"You are so right." Before Zayla could react for what Kylo Ren had said, his lightsaber activated as he lifted it up in the air. Tecco tried to turn away from Kylo Ren almost like that would help him escape, but it couldn't. Tecca's body laid on the ground. Zayla covered her sob, and just as quickly as the lightsaber came, a gun was shot. Poe. Kylo Ren whipped around, his hand outstretch, freezing the ray. Two Stormtroopers jumped on Poe, one on each side, making Poe walk toward the evil Kylo Ren.

They shoved him onto the ground, and Kylo Ren knelt down so he could see eye to eye with Poe.

"How are we going to do this,  you talk first or me." Poe said.

Zayla covered her eyes with one hand, scared for what would happen. Why would he say that?

"Search him." Kylo Ren said, before he stood up looking around the village.

Zayla ducked breathing hard, she couldn't face Kylo Ren. He was the one who took her Ben away from her. Flames were spreading on objects that could have been where the artifact was. BB-8 was probably far away now. Zayla stood, "B-" A hand clamped over her mouth and pulled her away from Kylo's sight.

Zayla kicked her...attacker? They cursed and Zayla had enough time to turn around with her gun loaded.

"Hey, hey, woah, woah. Hold up!" It was a Stormtrooper.

"What do you want?" Zayla growled.

"I'm here to help. Okay?" He took off his white helmet as it hissed.

"Why?" Zayla said squinting her eyes, trying to figure this Stormtrooper out.

"Because it's the right thing to do. I'm gonna let you run. I'll help your friend later, all right?"

Zayla lowered her gun, "I'm trusting you." She whispered, "If you don't save him, I will find you."

The Stormtrooper nodded."What's your name?" She whispered.

"FN-2187." He said almost robotically.

"Seriously?"

"Only name they gave me."

Zayla looked at this Stormtrooper, "Well I don't like it. How about Finn?"

The Stormtrooper smiled, "Yes! And-uh what's your name?"

"Zayla." 

"Okay Zayla. You need to go. I will see you another time with your friend."

Zayla nodded before running off into the endless sandy desert.

A certain someone is coming in the next chapter! So how does everyone like Zayla so far? I wasn't even going to put Finn in this chapter, but while writing I wanted too, so hope that decision was alright.
