I STAND IN THE SHADOWS of the same interrogation room where I was first placed when I was captured. The shadows act as a veil of darkness making me almost invisible to  the bloody man in the arm chair and to Kylo Ren. But I know that Kylo senses me because no matter where I am he is always constantly searching for me with the Force.
       I haven't left this room since Poe was brought here. I over saw all the tortures and ways the storm troopers used to try to get Poe to talk but nothing worked. With each new storm trooper came more frustration and anger towards Poe. Why won't he just give up? Has he spent so much time with the Resistance that they twisted his mind into thinking the First Order's cause is bad? At one point the Resistance had me thinking the same thing but since arriving here I realized that the Resistance is fighting for the wrong cause not the First Order.
          My blood boils as I shoot dangers at Poe with my eyes even though he can't see me.
          "I had no idea we had the best pilot in the Resistance." Kylo hisses as he stalks towards the now bloody Poe like a predator stalks his prey. I silently scoffed at Kylo's comment knowing Poe only became the best pilot once I was rescued from the Resistance and brought here.
       Poe doesn't answer Kylo instead he just stares at him as if trying to defy him even though he is totally defenseless. So Kylo carrries on the conversation, "Comfortable?" He asked mockingly.
         "Not really." Poe says as he silently laughs at his situation.
     "I'm impressed, no one has been able to get out of you what you did... with.. the map." Kylo drags out the last words making me even shiver with fear.
       "You might want to rethink your technique."  Oh Poe still full of so much sarcasm even when you are near to death I say to myself.
      I feel frustration roll off Kylo in waves as he reaches his hand out towards Poe. The Force leaps from Kylo's fingers in to Poe's head and I begin to see the struggle and pain, that the Force causes, on Poe's face. But still Poe fights against the push. Kylo then pushes harder as Poe head slams back against the chair. 
      I quietly watch the battle between Poe and Kylo. Something within me begins to stir when I see Poe strain against the pain. His face becomes so red and guilt starts to arise in my throat. I faintly hear them having a conversation but I ignore it trying to fight my own battle against what I know and what I feel. I know that Poe is the enemy but I feel worried for him. Deep down inside of me I am still having feelings for this man but when they try to rise up I shove them down.  As I remember the pain and sorrow he brought me and my emotions become dark and numb once again. I look towards the two just in time to see Poe screaming in pain and him finally giving up and telling us where the map is located. Kylo stands in triumph as he looks to me.
      "Are you coming." His once hard cold voice he used when talking to Poe is gone and is replaced with a gentle sounding one. I step out of the shadows smiling and kindly say,
       "No you go ahead. I have some unfinished business with this traitor." Though I can't see through his mask I can sense jealousy come off him as I notice that he recognizes Poe as the one who I traded my life for.
     I reassure him by saying, "I won't be long." He gives me a quick nod and grabs for my hand giving it a squeeze. He then turns around and heads towards the door.
     Once me and Poe are alone I turn towards him. I begin to circle him observing how much he as changed over the past year. His eyes are closed and I know that he has passed out from the pain so I shrug off my hood letting my face be exposed. I complete one more circle then stop at his side. I stare at him I take in his bloody face as memories of us form in my mind. I begin to smile. My fingers gently brush off a piece of hair from his face and that is enough to make his eyes blink open.
     He stares at me like I am part of a dream. My face hovers over him as the lights above shin on my head creating a halo effect.
        "Roe?" He whispers hopefully. My eyes begin to water as confusion over takes me. I put my hand over my mouth trying to reduce the noise from my sobs too shocked at hearing him say my name once again. He tries to sit up to get a better view of me but I don't let it happen. So I rush out of the room.
     The walls begin to stilt as I run out of the room. I become dizzy and stumble towards the wall using it to hold me up. I have no idea what is happening to me. Before I hated this man but now I feel like I should forgive him and that he did nothing wrong.
    "Miss?" I feel and arm place itself on my shoulder as I whip around enraged at the storm trooper for sneaking up on me. My eyes glow red with rage as I fight the urge to strike the trooper down. I run past the trooper and towards the nearest abandoned room.
     Usually I am not the one to be throwing the tantrum but I have so many emotions running through my head that I ignite my light saber and begin to slash and destroy every thing in the room. Tears blur my vision as I hear the door slide open.  I continue to throw my light saber at the wall when I feel arms rap around me as they take the light saber from my hand and pull me in tighter. We both kneel on the ground as a loving hand brushes the top of my head. I snuggle into the heaven fabric drying off my tears. I take a deep breath in as the sent calms me. I take deep breaths in as hushing noises fill my ears.
     I pull back from Kylo's arms as I wipe my nose hating how ridiculous I must look. I smile at Kylo, "Thank you. I just.. I don't.. I... I ..."
      "It's okay now, you don't have to explain anything," Kylo smiles down at me and I feel all my worries melt away, "at least now we know we have one more thing in common." He smiles at me as mischief flashes in his eyes.
      "And what is that?" I weakly say trying to add a hint of sarcasm in.
     "We both have terrible anger issues."  And for the first time we both start burst out and laugh. His deep laugh mixes with mine creating a harmonious sound that I hope I will never forget. However all happiness is forgotten when we hear over the intercoms.
      "Code red. I repeat code red. Prisoner escape and stolen spacecraft. All members on board help is needed it the boarding area. We both turn our head to face each other. Fire and rage burns in my eyes as I pull my hood over my head and begin to stride towards the boarding area. That poor fool is going to get what he deserves.
