-Katrin's POV-

As soon as I leave the room, I am greeted by the annoying face of the General with red hair. I stomp past him and looks at me in confusion. I stop short and turn around to face him.

"Where is the training area?" I demand. His confusion intensifies. "Just answer the damn question!"

"I can show you instead if you wish," he responds, uncertainly.

"I don't care. I just need the training room before I rip someone's freaking head off," I hiss, hatefully. If I didn't have my helmet on, and looks could kill, he'd be dead a billion times over.
"Uh um. This way," he mumbles and walks in the direction of where he was saying.

I follow him in silence. The walk was silent and I know he wanted to break it but decided against it. Which was a smart move, in all honesty. I probably would've snapped at him, unnecessarily.

"Here we are," he says. I wave him away and he leaves me alone. I storm in the room and find Stormtroopers training. Some don't have their helmets on, revealing skin glistening with sweat.

I remove my collapsible staff from the small of my back and straighten it out. "Who is willing to spar with me?" I call out walking to the centre of the room. Everyone is quiet for a moment.

Then a lone trooper walks over with a training staff. "I will," he volunteeres taking off his helmet. His aburn hair damp looking with sweat and slightly tired hazel eyes. I do the same, a scowl still evident on my face. My snow-like hair falling my face, covering my left safire eye.

"What's you're name, trooper?" I ask, rolling my neck and shoulders.

"DN- 5783. That's my number," he says, slightly confused.

"So, you don't know your own name?" I ask. He shakes his head and I sigh in annoyance. "Fine. I'm giving you a name. Is Danny ok with you?"

"Yes but..." he pauses trying to put together the rest of the sentence. "Why are you giving me a name?"

I can sense how confused he is about my gesture. "Because. It's sad that you know yourself as a number and other people by numbers and not a proper name. I swear next time I see Kylo I'm going to rip him a new one," I growl.

"You know Lord Ren?" He asks.

"Yes. Since we were young, well more like we just became teens. You think you can handle my moves, or do you wanna back out?" I taunt, smerking evilly.

"Were you like this with him? Or is it just me?" He smerks.

I twirl my staff a bit. "Oh, I am most definitely like this with him. I was really shy when we were younger. It took me, like, 3 months to say more then just 'hi' to him. And everyone else," I say. "Now, are we gonna spar or what?"

Danny smerks and twirls his own staff then charges. Our staffs clash again and again. He thrusts his staff to my stomach area but I swerve my hips out of the way.

We continue fighting for a few more hours when Kylo storms in when I had flattened Danny out for the 50th time. My knee rests on his chest and my staff at his neck.

"What the hell is going on here?" He demands. Marching over.

"Tch. We're sparring, dumbass," I growl. I stand and help Danny up. "Thanks for sparring with me, Danny. It was fun."

"Yeah, no problem. Anytime you need a partner, feel free to ask," he says and walks out.

"What were you doing with him?" Kylo growls, taking off his mask/helmet. I cross my arms over my chest, luckily everyone else had left awhile ago.

"Sparring. Cooling off. Either one you wanna call it. What do you want? And if you say you want me to join you I'm going to punch you," I threaten.

"No, that's not it..." he says, quietly. His eyes shining with curiosity and slight worry. "What did you mean back there in the conference room? About becoming stronger because of two lost love."

"Why? Why do you want to know?" I ask. My defiance level rising a little.

"Because I want to know. Please, " he begs. His eyes now show the desperation he feels deep in his heart.

I sigh. "When Luke sent me to Leia, it was not the first time that happened to me. It was the second. I used to live with my father and my two uncles. Then one day, something happened and they thought it best to send me away. Then Luke sent me to Leia. All that time I was determined to try to be strong, inside. Not giving in and crying. And then, my world came crashing down around me and it was your fault. You left me. This is what you created. I was weak and broken. Then I shut my heart and locked it in a box."

"What..." he asks, awestruck. I can tell he's trying to piece it together.

"Love can build. But love can also destroy. If you can't figure that out, your a blind idiot," I growl and begin walking away.

He grabs my wrist and pulls me back. "You loved me... you became strong because of me..." he says looking into my eyes.

"Loved being the operative word," I hiss and yank my arm out of his grip, only for the other one to be taken hostage. "Let go of me. Ben."

"Don't call me that, Katrin," he growls, pulling me even closer him.
