*Rey POV*
My eyes opened. I was in a dark place. I sat up. My eyes slowly adjusted. I looked around. This place seemed familiar. I was back home inside my AT-AT. My heart beat took up a notch.

What happened? Why was I on Jakku? Then my memory, slowly, started coming back to me. Phasma. Finn. Phasma was with....she knew how to...the force. And so did Finn, which was no surprise to me at all.

"Your up." I heard a male voice say.

I recognized it. I turned my head to the source of the voice. Ben.

"Ben..."

"That's not my name anymore, and you know that." He said.

"What do you want? What am I doing here? Where are my friends?" I asked frantically.

"Most of them are dead. We spared Finn and Poe. I have no idea where my mother and uncle are though. But your going to help me find them." He said, getting up from the floor.

I flinched as he got closer towards me.

"Keep your distance." I whimpered.

He didn't stop. His hand reached for my cheek. His eyes. His beautiful brown eyes. They flicked up and down my body. I didn't move. I was scared. He swiftly moved his hand away and turned his back on me.

"Today I'm going to train you. I'll need to you to ready and outside in fifteen minutes." He said and stormed out the door.

My hand fluttered to where he touched my cheek. I noticed that my heart was practically jumping out of my chest. I needed to stop this madness and get out of here. I had to escape. But there was no time for that now. First I had to go train with him.

The one I had been repeatedly dreaming about.

*Kylo Ren POV*
It hurt to be so close to her. I couldn't be alone with her and not touch her. Her cheeks were soft. I made her nervous, I could tell by the way she was breathing when I touched her. She was beautiful.

Now I was to train her. I don't know why Snoke decided that it would be a good idea for me to train her. Doesn't he sense the way I feel about her? Doesn't he know that I can't do it by myself?

"I'm ready now."

I turned around and saw her. She was looking down at the sand. Then we locked eyes. I could drown in them, if it was possible. I quickly shifted my gaze when I realized how long I'd been staring.

"You'll need this." I said, tossing her light saber at her. I heard her turn it on.

"I modified it." I added.

I looked proudly at her new light saber. It was basically the same one she had before, just red. She would be fine without blue for now.

"You...did this?" She asked.

"I am a Skywalker after all. We have been known for making our own lightsabers." I replied.

"Now turn it off. We have much work to do."

Rey was now at the market, nourishing herself from a long day. I located my mask and put it on. The First Order had completely taken over the area where Rey used to live. Security reasons is all. I felt extremely uncomfortable here though. None of us Skywalker boys liked sand. For Phasma to bring her here infuriated me. Though I couldn't get too mad. She was just doing her job.

*Rey POV*
Ben won't really talk to me. He only means business. He's teaching me the exact opposite of Master Luke's teachings. He's teaching me to let out my anger, and embrace it as well.

I get butterflies every time he touches me and it's very awkward. He must think I'm stupid. He certainly seems to look at me that way. I was very surprised when I arrived at the market.

Stormtroopers lined the area. There was a whipping post in the middle of the area, where a woman was tied up, slashes across her back. I squeezed my eyes shut. The villagers were forced to bow down to me every time I walked past. It was very embarrassing.

All of sudden my thoughts were interrupted when I fell to the ground. I looked up to see a small child holding a ball. He must have been around age eight.

"Oh I'm so sorry." I said.

The child pouted and put his hand in his hip.

"You should watch where your going." He snapped.

Then all of sudden, his voice hitched and he was clawing at his neck. I watched as he raised over my head.

I looked behind me and saw Kylo Ren. I stared in horror as he slowly choked the boy.

"She is your leader small child. You will respect her." He growled.

He turned to the rest of the crowd.

"All of you are under her rule! Respect her or end up like him!" He gestured at the child.

Then he dropped him. He whimpered and coughed on the ground.

Kylo Ren extended a hand towards me. I stared at it. He choked a baby with that hand. I stood up, dusting myself off.

I couldn't see his facial expression with the mask covering his face, but I could tell he was disappointed.

***

"You choked out a child?!" I screamed at him as soon as we got back home.

He slowly took off his mask, revealing his fixating eyes again.

"People need to know who to respect. They are all under your order now. You should be thanking me. I showed them who was boss. You are mine now, and they will all understand that!" He snapped.

We stared at each other in silence. What did he mean I was his now? Not only was I his Padawan, but now his pet?

I shook my head.

"Wow, okay so was choking a child, one who had barely begun to live, that's how you show them who's boss. I didn't even want to be part of your game! You made me come here! You made me your Padawan! But I don't want you to make me yours!" I yelled. I stormed outside and sat on top of house.

It was silent up here. It was quiet and calm. I was only up there about thirty seconds before I heard a slow clap.

"Very nice young Padawan. Letting out your anger is the first step to becoming a Sith. Maybe one day you'll be as good as me." He said as he hopped up next to me.

"You'll be perfect for the First Order." He said, as his fingers interlaced with mine.

I looked at him the same time he turned to look at me. We were like that for a very long time.
