Star Wars: The Second Coming

Chapter 6: Cooperate or Die

"She won't cooperate no matter what I do, she is strong" I spoke, sitting down causally in front of Kylo, his hand rested on his chin and his eyes scammed my face closely.

"I figured you would know how to break her, you are her blood" he spoke, calmly but there was a coldness I'm his voice. His eyes never left mine, and he held my gaze, I began to feel fear.

"She's been close to breaking, but we know she has no idea where Luke is, commander." I sighed, rubbing my temples "we're torturing her for nothing" Kylo stood up immediately, walking towards me. The frustration on his face was clear.

"SHE KNOWS WHERE HE IS" he yelled in my face, I looked away. I gave him so much of me and he never seemed to care. "do you feel compassion towards her, Kya?" He asked, grabbing my chin and turning my face to meet his eyes "have you forgotten WHAT SHE DID TO YOU" I pushed him back, the first time I ever laid hands on him. I stood up from my seat and he stared at me. "You LOVE her" he spoke into my face, his face inches from mine, my heart began to pound.

"No, my lord" I spoke, my voice beginning to shake, I didn't like when he got like this.

"DON'T LIE TO ME" his dark brown eyes stared into mine, "YOU FEEL FEAR, HAVE I NOT TAUGHT YOU ANYTHING?!"

"Kylo-"

"YOU ARE WEAK" he brought his hand up and I prepared myself for the familiar sting of his hand, but he didn't hit me, not this time. "I'll do this myself" he huffed angrily, pulling himself away from me and out of the room, leaving me alone.

I wondered what stopped him from striking me, but then I wondered if what he said was true, if I was weak, if I was feeling compassion for my sister. I shook my head, she has brought me nothing but anger and pain. Kylo showed me my weakness, and he enlightened me, brought me here and Moulded me into who I am today. In the process, I began to love him. I'd give my life for him, at any given time, but this was not the same for him. He was my world and I was nothing but a grain of sand.

I walked out of the room and towards Alexia's holding cell, the troopers nodded at me as a sign of respect, I peered in the room, Kylo menacingly speaking to her, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. General Hux approached, and I let out a breath of frustration.

"Kya" he nodded respectfully.

"What?" I replied, and I heard a storm trooper chuckle, but then turn silent once Hux looked over. "Well, get on with it, I'm busy"

"What's going on with the prisoner? She should have been dead by now." He asked, looking into the room where Kylo was interrogating.

"We're getting every piece of information we can" I spoke coldly, my softer voice was only used in the presence of Kylo, everyone else was irrelevant.

"This... Has nothing to do with your previous affiliation with her... Does it?" My stone eyes met his and I turned my body to him.

"How dare you question my loyalty?" He held my hard gaze, not faltering at all.

"You've been worrying me for quite some time, you're getting a little too close with the commander" he cleared his throat. My eyes narrowed, there was no compassion shown from either of us outside closed doors.

"What do you mean? You're ridiculous, Hux"

"You love him" He spoke blandly "it's clear, you feel compassion. This is prohibited. You're weak, when I tell the supreme leader-"

"You know nothing, Get out of my sight" I commanded, turning my body away from him again.

"Struck a nerve?" He chuckled, "I knew it"

"One day, I'm going to hurt you." I spoke without looking at him. Hux hated me from the moment Kylo brought me in, thought I was a casualty, a weak link. He walked away hands behind his back. The storm troopers split, and one opened the door for me as I entered the room. I heard it close behind me, Alexia looked at me as I sat down next to Kylo.

"Why don't you tell her Ben? Tell her you don't love her like you've been trying to convince me." I froze, I began to feel sick but I wouldn't let her win. I pushed these feelings inside, locked them away and stared at her with murderous eyes. She knows nothing.

"If you are unwilling to cooperate, there are ways of making you speak" I placed my palms on the table and leaned towards her. Kylo's eyes were on me too, he had no idea what I was talking about. "If I have to resort to these means to get you to talk, I will. You mean nothing to me anymore" her eyes flickered, but her face remained stone, she said nothing. "You betrayed me, you betrayed our parents" she shook her head profusely but refused to speak. "You're going to rot in here, while I'm out there hurting everything you hold dear. Hurting the one you love" her head shot up and her eyes widened.

"How...." She began to speak, but she was exhausted and couldn't manage to finish her sentence. Her voice was raspy and quiet.

"Oh I'll hurt her bad, and she'll call out to you, and you won't be able to save her." Alexia struggled against her restraints to no avail while Kylo and I made our way out of the room. I turned to the storm trooper on my right. "Get her food, make sure she eats, we need her alive." Kylo's eyes were on me, but I said nothing. This took longer than I thought, I was sure she'd break... But I can feel her strength slowly slipping from her, she was on the brink.
