Chapter VI

Edited by FabiHoran13

Kylo Ren's POV:

It was an odd but pleasant feeling  having someone to hold you and tell 
you everything was going to be okay 
in the end. Being enveloped in a tight and warm embrace made you feel safe. As if nothing in that moment  could possibly harm you. That's how I felt being in Rey's arms. She had 
spent the entire night by my side, granting me peaceful sleep, running her petite fingers through my hair, and soothing me with her gentle voice. It was the first night I felt like myself.

I felt guilty for taking up most of the   room on the couch.  Half her body
 was barely on the couch,her head 
was lightly resting on top of her arms. Her breathing was soft and steady, 
she was the most beautiful creature
 I've ever seen. On the outside she seemed so small and fragile, but in 
reality she was strong and confident, one of her many qualities that drew me to her. I was falling hopelessly in love with her. 

I was afraid to move her and disrupt her from her deep slumber, but I also didn't want her feeling uncomfortable. I gently picked her up bridal style, using my upper arm to rest her head upon while I carried her to her bedroom. I kicked the door with my foot and lightly placed her down on the mattress. Before retiring, I covered her with the duvet, didn't want her getting cold.

I knew I had promised to not let anything get in my way of succeeding my grandfather, believe me I tried hard to fight this feeling, but it was stronger than I . This feeling demanded to be in control. I wasn't too sure if I really wanted to to continue down this path filled with corruption and darkness. 

Of course I wanted unimaginable power above all, but I also wanted Rey. I was being called by both sides with no clue of which one I really belonged to. Power was what I wanted more than anything, which the dark side strongly promised, but there was also this part of me that wanted to be good enough for Rey. I wanted to prove to her that a part of me was still good because of her. She was the reason I hadn't completely turned to the dark side.

I left her alone to rest and in the meantime I went to supervise the progress on the preparations for the attack of the Republic. I hated myself for playing a part of the attack, I knew once Rey found she would never want anything to do with me again. I was in no position to contradict any of Snoke's wishes, if I even dared, he would surely have me killed.

Pain coming from my leg continued to bring me discomfort. I had to minimize the time I limped. I did not want Snoke discovering I had gone behind his back and began completing my
 training

Stormtroopers ran side to side carrying tools and pushing around parts. Twenty five ships were already ready while another twenty five underway, the last few stages of inspection. Thousands of Stormtroopers preparing for the attack both physically and mentally, but I wasn't prepared in either one. A voice constantly rang in the back of mind saying there was still time to do the right thing, but I didn't have the strength to do it.

"S-sir, we have a problem," one of the Stormtroopers shakily spoke.

"What is it?" Snoke would surely blame me if a single thing went wrong.

"A large sum of Stormtroopers were injured in the making of one of the spacecrafts, sir."

"Make them go back to work if it's nothing serious, make sure to inform the others that if all preparations are not completed by following weeks then there will be consequences," I spoke coldly. I needed to assure myself that I could still be feared and obeyed.
