The Force Between Us // Kylo Ren

Chapter XVII

TRAINING WAS CANCELLED for the rest of the day and I was grateful. Kylo escorted me to my room seeing it was the least he could do. Though he doesn't say sorry again I know that he feels terrible. As we walk back to my room I am constantly aware of how close he walks to me as if trying to protect me or how his hand touches the small of my back gently guiding me through the endless maze of hallways.
When I reach my corridor Kylo presses in the code he turns to see if I am watching but I look away because I know I will never be able to freely leave this room. But to my surprise he turns all the way around to face me.
"Due to your improvement in training you will now be able to come too and fro from your room. If you continue to improve and obey then there will be many for freedoms granted." Is metallic voice says this emotionless. But I am so giddy that I have to hold back the urge from jumping up and hugging him. He doesn't know how much this means to me, with this new improvement to my life style I feel like this prison is more of a home now.

The next few weeks I begin to follow a daily routine to keep myself busy. I wake up in the morning and train with Kylo. He teaches me how to read people's minds, get them to do what you want and how to preform the choke hold. I was thrilled the day Kylo said we would be learning the choke hold. We practiced on storm troopers who were caught doing something they shouldn't and I somehow I took a strange joy in performing these tasks. As my ability to use the Force grew so did my want for power and darkness. Together Kylo and I were unstoppable our ideals were the same and we were in sync.
After training in the morning I would join the storm troopers in their daily workouts. I would learn up close combat and shooting. I excelled in all these areas and the troopers in my unit looked up to me. I would offer help to anyone that was struggling and they admired me for that.
By the time all of my training was over a third of the day was over so I would take a shower and change into new clothes. After I would wonder around the ship having access to any room I wanted to see. For some reason though I would always find myself ending up in the same room. This room, unlike the others, wasn't black at all. I fact the floor celling and walks were all made of glass. You could see the stars, planets, and moons as we pasted by and sometimes an occasional shoot star. I would lay in the center of the room just staring out into space. Sometimes Kylo would find me here and he wouldn't say a word. He would just take his helmet off and lay down with me looking at the unknown darkness that laid before us.
"How was your day?" Kylo asked.
"Actually quite boring if you ask me." I hear Kylo chuckle and the noise makes my heart to a flip. I will never get used to how wonderful his real voice sounds like. "Well I mean, today I didn't really learn anything new from you. It's all pushing and reading people's minds with the Force. I want some real action," I sit up leaning on one arm my hair hangs draping over my shoulders as I stare at Kylo trying to be serious, "when will I learn how to use a light saber?"
"In time my little apprentice." I scrunch my face in distaste for the new nick name he keeps calling me. This brings a smile to his face and I can't help but smile with him, "You will get your lightsaber once the Force knows you are ready. With your lightsaber comes the next step in your training and I can't decided when you will take it I can only help."
I lay back down on my back, "Wow words of wisdom from Kylo Ren. Sometimes I wish you would stop saying you can't do that, not ready you are. The Force will decided and blah blah blah," i try miserably at mimicking his voice while also trying to make a joke out of it, "But I know the really reason why you don't want me to do things. It's because you are scared I will hurt myself but I can't take care of myself. I was the best pilot in the Resistance." I cringe at my own words remembering my time with the rebels but I remind myself that they abandon me and now I have a new life with Kylo Ren and the dark side. I left my rebel scums I used to call friends back when I gave up the light that once possessed me.
"True I do worry for you but as you grow in the Force I know that we will be able to work together proceeding with the First Order's cause and depending on each other. Besides you have others things to worry about."
"Like what?" I snap back jokingly.
"Well for one thing tomorrow you get to join me out on the field." He smirks at me as I remember that tomorrow will be my first time leaving this god forsaken ship I had grown so accustomed to. I begin to become giddy and I jump on my feet pacing back and forth with excitement. Kylo had gotten word that the Ewoks of the forested moon of Endor were harboring someone with knowledge of where Luke Skywalker is located. I was thrilled when Kylo asked me to join him and that he may need the extra help because those Ewoks can be a hand full.
Kylo began to stand up smiling at me as he raps his strong arms around me to keep me from pacing. I start to blush but I lean my head in towards Kylo as his head rest against the top of mine. I breath in his sent which is to hard to describe so I just call it Kylo's smell. I feel myself begin to grow tired but I peel my eyes open to tell Kylo that I want to go to bed. He agrees saying I have a big day tomorrow and leads me to my room. I instantly fall into my bed falling asleep without even saying good night.

Yes a little short but I think I might keep writing some more tonight. I just have so many ideas and I am sooo excited. The next chapter might be the shortest so far I just felt like this chapter was going on for ever.
