Star Wars: The Second Coming

Chapter 8: The Scavenger

It was just me and Rey now, her eyes fixed on anything but me, and I could feel her trying to reach out to my sister. I brought my foot up, under the table and kicked it hard, making a large crashing noise. Rey jumped, locking her eyes onto me. I laughed, throwing my head back. I stood, brushing my long, dark hair to the side.

"Poor baby, miss your girlfriend?" I laughed, my fingers brushing over the hilt of my lightsaber. "She's all beat up and bloody in the next room" I leaned into Rey, my face inches from hers. I brought my mouth closer to her ear "and I'm going to kill her, too" Rey struggled against her restraints, trying to bash her head into mine but I moved too quickly, we had her in custody for a few days prior to telling Alexia. She was weak. "You give me the information this is all over, you're dealing with me not, not Kylo Ren. I'm not as easy" I brought my hand up and brought the back of my hand across her face.

"I'm not telling you anything" she spoke firmly, spitting blood to the side. "You're just a toy, you're not as strong as Kylo" I laughed.

"you're trying so hard to get into my mind, but you should notice one thing... You can't" I sat on the table and looked down at her. "See, I've had time to hone my skills, unlike you and my weak sister" i laid comfortably on the table staring up at the ceiling. "He's really a great teacher, you should've taken the opportunity when you had the chance"

"You're disgusting" she spoke, struggling more against her restraints but to no avail.

"You're weak and pathetic" I sat up again "she's hurting Rey, only you can put a stop to it. I bet Kylo's in there right now marking up her pretty little face."

"STOP IT" I laughed evilly again, I bought my hand under her chin and looked into her eyes.

"Soon you'll understand pain like I do" I got up, sliding my mask over my face and leaving her to herself. I had already beat her up pretty bad, she had enough for today.

"LIEUTENANT KYA" I heard a frantic voice approach. A storm trooper came running up to me, his breathing ragged and heavy. He doubled over trying to catch his breath. "Calm down, storm trooper, what is it?" I asked, my voice stern. He looked up at me, gripping his gun.

"It's Kylo Ren, he's... He's destroying stuff again" I signed, taking in a deep breath and tapping the trooper on the shoulder.

"What started it?" I asked calmly, having to deal with this many times before.

"I don't know, he left the interrogation room and went straight to his chambers, me and a few other storm troopers were making our rounds we-"

"I'll go deal with it, as you were." He got into a formal stance, nodded his head at me.

"Yes sir, I mean ma'am I mean-" I laughed a little bit, he was sweating in his armour.

"It's alright" I gave him a soft smile, something I didn't do often and I made my way towards where Kylo slept. I could hear him scream and then the crashing of glass and metal. I opened the door, letting myself in. He was angry, j haven't seen him like this in a long time.

"Kylo!" I called, he heard me but he didn't listen, he took his lightsaber out and began to thrash around. "KYLO!" I called again, but nothing, I didn't know what got him so angry. "BEN" he stopped and his lightsaber fell to the floor. He turned to look at me, his eyes were burdened, full of pain. He stared at me for a long time, like the day he told me he went to the dark side. I didn't understand then, and it broke my heart, but I understood now. "Oh... Ben" I walked to him, placing my hands on his face.

"What is it?" I spoke quietly. His hands hesitantly rested on top of mine and he closed his eyes but he said nothing. He fell to his knees onto the floor and I followed him, he then buried his head into my shoulder and I ran my hands through his dark hair. So much anger in him that I couldn't process sometimes, it fuelled him, it kept him going but I feared sometimes it was too much to deal with. We sat in silence for what felt like eternity.
