Star Wars: Age of Destruction

Nineteen

Mae's POV:

My world, mind, soul, power. Everything is crumbling and spinning around me. I no longer feel love for him. I no longer feel love coming from his force signature. He doesn't love me anymore. He wanted to kill me, but failed and only took my leg. I'm not sure how I feel about this. My heart has ripped itself into shreds and I can no longer handle the world around me. I no longer want to feel the hurt, pain, betrayal.

He no longer loved me.

We were married.

I no longer wanted to be wed to someone who wished to take my life. And I didn't want to raise my son with someone who wanted to kill his mother. I'm not letting him raise Anakin. I'm taking Anakin and sending him away, not before wiping his memories of Kylo and I.

Kylo's POV:

This jail cell gets increasingly smaller as I await my execution. It's now a law that anyone who attempts the Supreme Leaders life, will be immediately killed. I'm now destine to die, all because I tried to save my wife from the dark side. I know it was insanely stupid to tell her I was after her life and not her leg. She flipped out and is now having me executed. Then again, it's kinda my fault.

The door slides open, revealing her. She steps forward, force locking the door behind her. "You'll be re-crowned the Lord of the Knights of Ren, and be given back you second in command position." I slowly look up at her, my eyes tracing her features. "Why the sudden change of heart Mae?" She sighs, running a hand through her red, goldish hair. "Anakin. I wasn't going to let Anakin grow up without both parents. Which also means you'll be moving back in with us, but into a separate bed." She stops, looking at me. "You're not forgiven, not by a long shot." She turns and walks out, not being able to walk right. Her gait now has a limp to it.

I've been moved back into our chambers, but another full size bed is placed across the room from Mae's. It's covers, seem cold and uninviting. Her helmet sits on her bed next to her lightsaber. She must've helped load the room. I hear the faint sound of water against the shower floor. I walk into the nursery to find a sitter with Anakin. She quickly hands Anakin to me, exiting hurriedly. I take off my helmet and hold him close, his soft noises relaxing my body and mind. The water soon shuts off and the door swings open, revealing Mae. Her body clad in sleepwear. She takes Anakin from me, letting me go shower as she occupies him.

Mae's POV:

I lay on my side in my bed, sleep a lost concept to me tonight. Kylo's fearful jerking in his bed keeps me awake. He's having a nightmare. He deserves to have a nightmare. Screw him. He took my leg and wanted my life.

He no longer loved me.
No longer wanted me.
Hated me.
Feared me.

If it weren't for Anakin's sake I would've killed him right when he was placed on his knees in front of me. I should've. I wouldn't have his hatred constantly wrapped around me, suffocating me. It's hurts. The Force screams out in pain and our broken, once perfect bond.

The jerking has suddenly stopped and I hear his footsteps slowly walk over here, his fingers touching my shoulder softly. I flip around and grip his wrist. "What do you want?!" I spit in a whisper, my eyes just able to make out his eyes in the darkness. "Can I sleep next to again?" Does he really have the audacity to ask such a request? My eyes meet his and search his features. "No you can't sleep next to me. Not after the shit you pulled." I felt his heart sadden and I sigh softly. He doesn't deserve to be next to me. "Mae please." His voice cracks as he pleads, sighing softly I scoot over, letting him lay next to me. His back is to my back as we sleep, not wanting to touch each other through the night.
Soon sleep has welcomed me with open arms.

In the morning as I blink my eyes open I feel a heavy weight on my chest. I look down to see Kylo's head on my chest. What the hell? I didn't realize how forgiving I could be in my sleep. My hand can't seem to resist the urge to run through his black locks. His hair, soft and soothing against my fingers.

I don't like this feeling anymore.

I levitate him over to his bed, his mind screaming in anger and I chuckle softly. I don't give an actual fuck anymore if he's mad at me. He took my leg.

After taking Anakin to the daycare facility, I make my way to General Hux's morning meeting.
Once I walk in I take my seat at head of the table, everyone's eyes on me. I look at them through the mask, motioning for Hux to go on. Hux then turns to me and smiles.

"Lord Vatrix, would you like to take a trip to the resistance base? We need a Sith Lord to fight their Jedi's. Since you and Lord Ren aren't on the best of terms, I assume you'll want to go by yourself." I slowly ponder his proposal, smiling under the helmet. "Of course I'll go. Which Jedi am i after?"

"Master Aaron." I nod gently. "Of course I'll go. I can't promise he'll be alive."

Hux visibly shudders and nods. "We'll leave tonight then." I nod, standing up and making my way out. Only one thought reads across my mind as I walk along the base.

I'm going to kill Aaron.
