The Balance - A Reylo Story

Chapter five : Something Strange

Rey's eyes shoot open as the cold floor becomes too much to handle. She realizes she is still in the same concrete room with nothing but the clothes on her back. Looking around she notices a tray on the floor next to her covered with food. Real food. Her stomach started to make noises. She knew she was hungry, but she did not know what they were playing at. Had they poisoned her food? Did they slip something in it that would make her tell them everything they need to know? Still she was hungry and knew if she did not eat it she might not make it through the next night. She ignores the plate deciding that the risks were too heavy. She set there thinking about how she wished she wasn't chained up. The chains were tight and she could feel the pressure throughout her whole body. She closed her eyes and thought about all of her friends. She just wanted to escape. Hours pasted and she wondered if they were ever going to even look at her again. She had this feeling she was doomed to die in the dungeon of Kylo Ren's ship. She looks over and still sees the plate. She pushes it away from her. Suddenly the door starts to open and Rey looks away from it hearing someone walk in. "Did you not like your food," a voice said sounding less muffled. Her eyes slowly look up to see unmasked Kylo Ren. She studies his scar. She remembers vividly giving it to him. "What did you do to the food," she demands to know. A slight smile came across Kylo's face. " I didn't do anything to the food Rey. You are hungry. I can feel it." He slowly walked over to the plate and picked it up then placed it next to her. "Eat. Nothing was done to the food." All Rey could do was stare at it. Kylo sighed, " Fine, but I know you will be hungry so I will just leave it. You'll eat it eventually." His eyes locked with hers. She studied his face again. This time she caught herself staring at his lips. "What," Kylo asks as he moves back towards her. He gets on his knees and leans in close, their faces inches apart. "What is it Rey? What are you feeling?" Her eyes move from his lips to meet his gaze. She then realizes how close he is and what he is doing. She pushes him away. "Oh don't fucking even! Gross," She yells. A big smirk falls across Kylo's face. " I will be back to retrieve you Rey. It is too cold down here and we have far too much to do." Rey hissed, " I will not do anything for you!" He chuckled and knelt down next to her to whisper in her ear. "Yes you will." This sent shivers down Rey's spine. He stayed knelt down beside her almost uncomfortably too long before getting up and walking towards the door. "I will be back later. Rey....... please.... eat."  He walked out the door and it closed behind him. Rey thought to herself. "What just happened? He just sounded so concerned. He's a monster he is tricking you. Why did he get so close to me? What does he want from me?" Rey stopped running all these questions in her head when her stomach made another loud noise. She cautiously took a bite of her food. It was delicious. So good she couldn't stop herself and the next thing she noticed the food was gone. She sighs and pushes it away from her. Leaning against the wall she closes her eyes slowly drifting back into sleep.
