*Kylo Ren's pov

After leaving Rey I went to my room and just stayed their the rest if the flight. All of the rooms that I stay in are undesirable. The walls are black and metal and it have no carpet for comfort. Just the cold metal, colored to match the rest of the ship.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Uhhhhhhh..." I grown and get out of bed. On the way to the door I put on my mask. "What?" I growl as I open the door.

The trooper standing there is slightly shifting from foot to foot. He must be shocked to see me in a tee shirt, gym shorts and the mask, saber in hand.

"Is there a problem? Or can I go back to sleep?" I yawn.

"We've arrived, sir."

"Okay. You can go. Take the girl to interrogation room 9 sector 3. Inform Supreme Leader that I will speak with him in an hour."

"Yes, sir."

I close the thick door and finish getting ready.

My brow creases as I get a glance of myself in a mirror leaving the room. A large scar stretches from the left side of my jaw across my cheek, over my nose and onto my forehead. Rey gave this mark me as a token from our last battle in the snowy forest upon Starkiller Base. My finger runs along the jagged flesh, memories of staring at a sky full of stars, the planet and weapon I'd worked so hard to construct, exploding around me. I had laid there, almost wishing the darkness of death had been more prominent to swallow me, but it hadn't and I'd waited in physical pain from the blast wound in my side, the gashes I'd acquired while fighting the girl and traitor, and the mark upon my face. But also from mental turmoil. My insides grated against each other, the reality of me killing Han Solo raking me with formidable gilt. 

I shake my head, releasing me from my thoughts, and put the cold metal helmet on.

Exactly one forty minutes later, and I  once again stand before Supreme Leader Snoke.

"Do you have her?" he asks.

"Yes."

"Good." he says pleased. Then more sternly "Three weeks. You have three weeks, Kylo Ren. And she will be dark or dead."

"Yes, Supreme Leader. It will be done."

"It'd better be." his hologram flickers out.
