Star Wars: The Lost Jedi

Chapter IX

Serer's eyes fluttered open as she heard loud voices speaking outside her door. She was also relieved upon looking around the room to see no one else in it and concluded Ben had left sometime during the night. Her mind questioned why he had come to her room in the first place.

She sat up in the bed, looking down at the bandage on her shoulder, realizing her leather jacket was left at Maz's Castle. Serer was without her lightsaber, jacket, and blaster. What more could the First Order take away from her?

Serer slowly got out of bed and looked around the room more in detail. She noticed an armoire deserted in the corner of the room. Opening it, inside hung a black sweatshirt and clean black pants. She regarded them as the undergarments of a Stormtrooper, but nevertheless, took them from the armoire. Her white tank top and grimy black pants were now exchanged for the black sweatshirt and clean black pants.

She looked out the large window, taking in the beauty of the snow covered mountains. For the first time in forever, Serer took out her single
braid, and kept her hair unstyled. As long as she was to be a captive here, might as well get comfortable, right?

Serer now spun around as the bedchamber door quickly opened to reveal two Stormtroopers and General Hux.

"Don't you people knock?" Sneered Serer.

"We meet again." Hux spoke, his facial expressions filled with anger towards the girl.

"How's that nose of yours?" Serer cockily responded, a sly smirk appearing on her face as she crossed her arms.

"Better then you will be." Hux whispered as he walked into the room and towards Serer. "Kylo Ren and Supreme Leader Snoke ask of your presence."

"Well, I don't need an entourage. I can find my way." Serer spoke, walking past Hux and straight out the door. The two Stormtoopers then grabbed onto both her arms as she squirmed to be free.

"Your assistance won't be necessary, I will take her to them." General Hux told off the Stormtroopers, causing them to release her. "She won't be a problem, will you?"

Serer simply narrowed her eyes at the man. "I refuse to make any promises."

Serer's stomach became unsettled for an unknown reason as they walked through the hallways and rounded each corner. She was then caught off guard as General Hux grabbed her wrist and and pressed her back to a wall of a hallway.

"You know, your quite favorable to Ren." General Hux whispered to her. "I don't see how with that pompous mouth of yours."

"Perhaps because you've never looked upon someone besides yourself in the mirror." Sneered Serer, trying to push Hux out of her way.

"Which is exactly why I would rather look upon you. Your mouth is a bother, but that can be overlooked." Hux's mouth now curled into a crooked smile as Serer's eyes filled with fear. His faced neared her far too closely. "And perhaps the hatred for you not returning Ren's compassion will finally turn him truly to the darkness."

Serer then spit upon General Hux's face, causing him to step back and release her from his grasp. "You filthy scum! No one could ever favor such a piteous man such as yourself!" Serer hissed at him as he wiped the spit from his face with the back of his gloved hand.

Before she could even move his hands now grasped themselves around her neck, her feet leaving the floor. Her hands now scratched and tried to release his hands from her, but it was doing no good, for his image started to become blurry in her vision.

An idea then surged to her mind, taking her fingernails, she clawed across General Hux's face. He screamed out in pain as Serer fell to the ground, gasping for air. She began to back away from him, her normal vision returning to her as she stood. His face now turned to her as she saw three lines across his cheek in which drops of blood fell. She had cut his skin deeply. His eyes shown with rage for her as she began to run down twisting hallways and corners.

A hand then grabbed onto the back of her sweatshirt, causing Serer to face plant. They wrestled for a moment, Serer's knuckles becoming bruised and cut from punching the ground too many times. One of General Hux's hands now held her wrists tightly behind her back and the other held tightly to the back of her sweatshirt.

"Let us see what the Supreme Leader thinks of this." He sneered into her ear as the smell of fresh blood entered her nose.

...

Serer looked down at her bleeding knuckles as they entered a room she was far too familiar with. The figure of Kylo Ren stood in front of the gigantic, holographic imagine of Supreme Leader Snoke.

"She is too dangerous to be kept alive!" Bellowed General Hux as he flashed the wounds on his cheek, throwing Serer to the ground. "Look at what she has done to me!"

"I wouldn't of had to do so if you hadn't tried to pressure me!" Retorted Serer in response, now standing from the floor.

"You certainly can fend for yourself, can't you?" Snoke's voice slithered into Serer's mind.

"I believe you've realized I can do much worse than a few scratches." Hissed Serer as her eyes narrowed towards Snoke. "I fear you not."

"Not yet." He growled at her. "But your hatred has shown you to be vulnerable to the darkness."

"I am only vulnerable to the light." Serer spoke proudly, she could feel Ren's eyes watching the blood drip from her hands.

"You will train in the ways of the darkness, and then you will destroy the very thing you love." Snoke stated.

"She loves nothing but the mere image of her being a hero!" Yelled General Hux towards Serer.

Serer couldn't control her temper any longer. She looked upon him, anger flooding through her veins. Her emotions caused her to now charge at him, wrapping her hands around his throat, she took him to the ground with her.

Snoke smiled at how easily she could succumb to her hatred and anger. She could easily be seduced with one more action to set her off completely.

Kylo Ren walked heavily over to where the two wrestled and fought before he saw Hux pull out his blaster on her. The blaster now sunk into Serer's neck as Hux was prepared to fire. He was done with her shenanigans and he was done with her corrupting Ren's mind. She was not going to set their plan amuck.

"We need her alive, Hux." Snoke's voice spoke before Ren was able. He watched as the blaster was removed from Serer's throat. "Take her back to her chamber, Ren."

"Yes, Supreme Leader." Responded Ren's distorted voice, lifting Serer from the ground and over his one shoulder. She seemed to be near unconscious.

"Can we trust you?" Hux questioned as he raised an eyebrow towards Ren.

"Are you doubting my loyalty?" Kylo Ren spoke, the hand which was not holding onto Serer raised as General Hux reached up for his throat. "I won't have you going around messing up our mission, because if you do, you won't see it completed."

"Ren, that is enough." Spoke the voice of Supreme Leader Snoke. "Take the girl, I wish to speak alone with General Hux."

Ren made sure he had a firm grasp on Serer before walking from the room. He made a vow in that instant that if Hux was to touch Serer again, he would not hesitate to end him.
