She stared at me for a long time, and I could see the light still twinkling in her eyes. Maybe this was enough to fool And the others but not me, I knew her down to a molecular level. No way she would kill Luke, I was certain.

"A Skywalker, huh" I chuckled, circling her ominously. She nodded, biting her tongue and holding back something. "So I assume Luke told you about who I was too, my destiny" she nodded again, not moving her twinkling eyes from my dark stone ones. I had to admit, she had courage to.

"Take off your mask" she demanded, and I stopped pacing in front of her. I obliged, taking off the mask and lowering my hood. She started into my eyes, emotions darted in hers, fear, there was fear but she didn't back down. "Your eyes..." She mumbled. I noticed the change myself, I was becoming who I was meant to be.

"You didn't kill Luke" I spoke, tilting my head up a little, it was a superiority thing, intimidation. She looked up at me, the twinkle in her eyes diminishing slowly.

"Yes, I did."

"Through everything, regardless of your allegiance to the Jedi, have I ever lied to you?" She shook her head. "so why do you lie to me?" She clenched her fists.

"I DID IT" she yelled, with a ferocity that I could tell came from within. Even if she didn't kill Luke, she was falling enough into her own game for me to pull her to the dark side.

"Do you want to know how I found out who I was?" I asked, looking up at the glass ceiling that showed the stars before fixing my eyes on her again, she stared, not saying anything, but I knew she wanted to know. "When we came to the base looking for you, and you escaped us. We took the whole base hostage." Her eyes suddenly flickered with emotion and she kept her face straight. "We destroyed the base, kept the prisoners... Leia told me everything"  I lied to her, seeing how attached she still was, she put up a good front, but I saw past it. "I killed every last remaining survivor in that base. Leia was particularly fun, I let her think I was going to keep her alive for sharing information, her blood stains the dirt, along with the treacherous storm trooper. They're all dead" she took in a deep breath.

"That's another resistance base we don't have to worry about" she spoke sternly.  I chuckled, bringing my face closer to hers.

"I see what's in your mind, Alexia" she became uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. "You didn't kill Luke and Rey, and I know that because I found their ship, placed a tracking device on it before I found you. I knew you weren't ready to kill them, not yet. But I knew you'd come to me. And I sense the hate in your soul." Her mouth parted and her breathing began to shake. "You what me to trust you Alexia? I have a task."

"What is it?" She asked desperately, and I knew she hoped I would send her to find them.

"No you're not leaving this base" I spoke, reading her mind. She tumbled back a little bit. "I'm sending out a search party, they will retrieve the scavenger and the old Jedi and they will escort them here. In which you will watch me torture them." I watched her gulp back the lump in her throat "then, you will proceed to kill them, in front of me, in front of Snoke. I sense the distraught in you, I see the darkness. We will kill that last little bit of twinkling light in you. Then, I will trust you, and you will join us. We will see your loyalty to the dark side."

"I-"

"Thought you could lie to me, I know. You underestimate my power. But I know your strength. Which is why I haven't killed you yet. I could use you, you do this and we can be together again." She stared at me in silence. There was no way out of the bargain. I held my hand out and she shook it. "Now" I spoke, "draw you lightsaber. Let's see how much you've learned from the Jedi." Reluctantly, she pulled out her new red lightsaber, and it was odd seeing her wield it. "Both of them"

"What if I hurt you?" I began to laugh and she needed no further encouragement, she pulled out her blue one. My old one. She got into fighting stance, and I pulled out my red lightsaber, flipping it in one hand as my other pulled out my black one, expertly I spun them around and she watched me with wide eyes, not out of fear, but the black light Saber intrigued her, like it did many. She gripped her sabers, she dual-wielded, just like she had watched me when we were young.

"Taking after your sister, I see" I smirked, and I came at her with both ferocity and anger. She didn't take any shots at me, she focused strictly on defending herself. Her fighting style had much to learn, she was calm and collected, soon she would see that wouldn't save her in fights against people like us. I shed of my cloak, watching her foot work as she learned quickly, mimicking what I did, she was a fast learner and she always had been.

Hours on end she followed my foot work, my form until Kylo came back from what he was doing. He watched me with hungered eyes, as he always did when I trained by myself or with someone else.  Alexia took her first hit at me, spinning around and bringing both down at the same time. I lifted my two up and in between both of her weapons, flicking my wrist and opening my weapons up, her Light sabers flew out of her hands on onto the floor.

"You are good, you must not fear getting hurt." She picked up her light sabers and nodded, looking up at kylo who was looming over us, "get some rest, more training tomorrow" she ran out of the room, I knew she was quiet and distraught from the information she just recieved. She would learn not to feel so much soon.

Kylo ran his hand down my shoulder and arm, staring at me from behind his helmet. "The supreme leader wants to see you." He spoke quietly and I nodded putting on my cloak and mask. He grabbed my arm quickly and looked into my eyes as he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. I shot him a look and pulled my arm out of his grip, following him to the dark room where Snoke's hologram would appear.

He stood by my side, of course, not showing any signs of affection, though we figured he knew anyway. The hologram came on and he looked at me. "My child... I sense a disruption in the force" I stared at the hologram, pausing for a moment.

"Alexia has lied to you, to us" I spoke finally. "She didn't kill Luke and thee scavenger girl and I'm positive. I out a tracking device on the ship I found of his. The ship has moved since to Tattooine" Snoke was silent and I felt myself begin to sweat. "I sent out a search party for them, they will be retrieved and brought back here. She will proceed to kill them to prove her allegiance to the dark side." The hologram turned to me.

"And if she fails, you will fulfill the deed, and you will kill her as well."

"Yes sir" I responded, willing to do what I needed.

"You are fulfilling your destiny, Kya, you have gotten stronger" the hologram disappeared as Kylo and I walked out making my way to General Hux, telling him to send out the search party with the best of the best and to retrieve them as soon as possible. He nodded, of course he didn't respect me, but enough to do our jobs.

She would prove her loyalty enough, or prove her treachery. Either way, I will become stronger.
