Hurt & Confused

"Let go of me!" Hope growled out as she tried to struggled against the man, but the saber was close to her neck and her chest, she was in danger of getting hurt by it again. She almost couldn't care about it, but better judgment happened to gain control of her mind as he pulled her through the snow, "I'm taking you to a ship, you'll be fine." He said in her ear, and hell, she probably just elbow him and then step on his foot to get away, but this planet was going to blow up, it would be stupid to do so now.

She wouldn't be able to get back to Rey or the Falcon in time. Which means she was stuck with this idiot for a few more days if she didn't want to die. There was a better day to die - it was not today.

There was no doubt in her mind that Rey would stick to her promise; but there was something they had to do, that was still lingering in her stomach... so it might take more than a 'few' days.

They neared a ship with its ramp lowered; Kylo seemed to be giving out right there, but he made it in all the way before collapsing to his knees and letting go of Hope, "Why the girl?" Someone sneered from above her, and she turned her head to glare at a man with light brown hair, he nodded to the pilot to take of.

"Just shut up; get her looked after." Kylo spat as he sat on his knees, pain evident on his face, yet he was still trying to get sense of himself so he could stand and walk somewhere to get himself taken care of.

"Get the girl, help him." A few stormtroopers walked up and took Hope in a different direction, while another one moved to help him stand up to get him to the medbay so he could get his eye fixed.

"Looks like you might be blind in your right eye... there is a possibility of gaining your eyesight back; just use this. It repairs the tissue, it will cause a burning sensation, but it'll help." Kylo took the bottle that was handed to him as the woman started to put the drops in his eye, he had to curl his hand into a fist to keep himself from yelling and then choking her to death. But it wasn't her fault that he was half blind, it wasn't her fault it hurt like hell. After all, she was the one who was brave enough to come near him and help him.

He knew there was no-one else to blame but himself for underestimating Rey as opponent. She was stronger than he thought she was...

How? How was she so strong? Why wasn't he as strong as her? She didn't even know how to wield it and yet she was able to beat him!

Let's be serious... was he even actually trying? Both her and the saber would've been a very good gain...

Though he lost both of them, he gained Hope with it. And he didn't know if he lost or if he won. Kylo had said that he always got what he wanted, and he did. Just sometimes it didn't happen right away.

And all while the man was brooding, the woman had just finished wrapping his head, to keep a bandage pressed against his eye. Kylo had to admit, it did feel a bit ridiculous to wear it on his head. It was also to heal the new wound he had on his face, he barely felt it.

Only because if the numbing cream they had on it. That would also had to be cleaned, all of the wounds on his body had to.

"Stand up please and remove the top part of your clothing." She commanded, obviously not afraid of what he could do when he didn't want to be commanded around, but he didn't argue with her. He stood up and undressed the top part of his body before easing down slowly, being mindful of his injured leg as he sat down.

"Wow, never seen you obey so easily, Ren." A sneering voice came from the door way as Hux walked inside the medbay. No, there was no sense in calling him 'general' - only because he hadn't earned any respect from Kylo just yet. Especially with comments like that that drive him insane.

Kylo gave the other man a look that literally said 'fuck you', "You forget who has access to unlimited power." The man had to lean a bit to the side by request of the woman, only so she could treat the wound on his side; caused by the damn wookie his father owned.

Hux didn't reply to him, only strolled over and pressed two fingers into the wound on his shoulder, hearing Ren yelp in pain and try to recoil away from him, "You forget the one who is weak and injured." Kylo attempted to raise his hand up to start choking the General because he was being driven insane by the idiot who thought-

"Keep your hand down." The woman said as she shoved it down on the table, making him curl his lips in pain because of the shock that ran through his shoulder, though he didn't remove it to choke Hux again.

"Just get out." Kylo growled out through his teeth as he sent another glare with angered eyes, Hux snorted under his breath before turning away and walking out of the room. He thought of him as a child! Once he completes his training, Hux will see who the child is.

Hope sighed as she was placed in a holding cell, thank God they didn't put her in restraints again, her wrists would've gotten sore - just like the rest of her body was, they didn't even tend to the burn on her shoulder. Which by now had stopped burning, but still had a bit of discomfort to it. She couldn't sit still at all, she was too nervous, it felt too nerve wracking to be here... to be alone in a room she didn't know, and maybe, just maybe Hope would enjoy something to keep her company.

After a couple minutes of pacing around, the door hissed open - Kylo Ren had strolled in, wearing loose robes. A bandage covering the right half of his face, there seemed to be one on his shoulders, on his side and on his leg. Hmh, she hoped he would learn.

Okay, this company was not exactly welcome... but supposedly it was the only thing she was going to get from these people. Hope's eyes were immediately turned away from his one as he walked over to her and then knelt down in front of her, his large hands hovering in front of her chest, as if he was asking for her permission to examine the wound.

It wasn't like she could stop him, but she still gave a shrug of her shoulder to give him the permission he was asking for. Then, he gingerly moved her clothing away from the burn, caused by him. Of all people.

Of course he was angry, he was pissed at himself for doing this; "I'm sorry, I'll have someone in here to take care of that." Kylo was angry, and he didn't want to be around her right now because he didn't want to hurt her again.

Hope was slightly shocked to hear how calm he was, despite the anger radiating off of him. He stood up, turned around and started to leave. All while she didn't realise that she had made a snatch for his hand, as if to tell him to stay, but at the last second, she pulled back. Realising what she had almost done and horrified with that action, she lowered her hand to her side and had to bite her lip to prevent herself from making a face and calling out to him.

This was odd behavior, especially coming from her. And she hoped that he didn't notice the shift as he started to limp out.

He did feel it; and the confusion was written in his eyes as he walked out, telling a random stormtrooper that Hope had a wound that needed to be taken care of right away.

"If you're going to cut some walls up, please do so in-" Hux tried to talk to Kylo as the taller man walked past, but Kylo wouldn't allow that, his hand shot out and he started to choke the man with ease, "Do not say a word to me." He growled out before stopping and continuing on to the temporary room he was set up in. As soon as he entered it, he didn't draw his saber and start to slash at the walls.

He walked right to his bed, dropped to his knees... and cried.
