Rey's POV:

It's a month living in the quarters of the First Order. Kylo made sure I was cut off from any news relating to the Republic and any contact with anyone that wasn't him. He had me training day and night, never granting me a day of rest. I was becoming stronger with every day that passed, but also more confused. He never once hinted of his knowledge of Snoke's plan or of his desire to bring me any harm, he normally kept his distance.

When I tried thanking him for the room, he simply told me not to worry about it. He seemed more and more drained as each day went past. Something was going on, but whenever I asked he'd shut me out. He hardly ever took his mask off and when he did he avoided eye contact with me.

These past days have made me realize something, I wouldn't be able to escape alone, I wasn't strong enough on my own. I would need Kylo's help and the only way was to embrace the light that still lived in him. If I could show him that he was still capable of good, maybe I could bring him back to the Republic, back to his mother. It would be a challenge, but I was my only hope of ever getting out of here.

I was currently getting ready to leave. Kylo wanted me ready, saying today would be a long day filled with complicated tasks.

There was a soft knock on the door, I assumed it was Kylo so I rushed to open it. There he stood in his black attire, but without the mask. He took a quick glance at me, but directed his eyes to the ground as usual.

"You ready t-to go?" He asked in a shaky voice.

"Yeah, let's go." I stepped out and closed the door before following after him. Today was hopefully the day I'd finish constructing my own lightsaber. Kylo had been aiding me in collecting all the necessary materials to design it.

Kylo had me meditating on the self-made crystal with the Force to guide the formation and increase its potency. The dim colored room where we first trained had become our own little sanctuary where no one could interrupt us.

There was something off about him. There were dark circles forming beneath his eyes and his walking was uneven.

"Kylo are you okay?" I pried.

"Yes," he slightly looked back, but continued walking.

He was limping.

"No Kylo, you're not. Tell me what's wrong." I begged.

He completely turned around and searched in every direction that no one was near."We can't talk about this out in the open." He muttered while taking a hold of my hand and dragging me down the staircase and into our space.

"I've been training again," he spoke softly.

"With Snoke?" I questioned.

"No...by myself," he responded.

"Why?" I furthered questioned.

"You ask too many questions," he chuckled.

I didn't find it amusing though, I was tired of being left in the dark. His smile soon disappeared and was replaced with a scowl. "You already know why Rey. You've known Snoke's plan of replacing me as long as I have. Yet I'm not worried you'll accept his offer."
