Darkness Consuming Light

Chapter 8

Takodana, that was we're the map to Luke Skywalker was along with the Meliumin Falcon and a force sensitive scavenger. Kylo already explained he had no dealings for his father now and that my goal was to keep enemies at bay. as soon as we stepped off the Ship her power was known to us.

"follow me but stay out of sight until I tell you" Kylo growled through his helmet.

"yes Master" I whispered and as we entered the woods I disappeared him his sight, but I was more than aware of everything. the force seemed to intensify as I silently stalked Kylo. He was trying to feel for the girl, she was always with that BB unit. I watched carefully as suddenly Kylo ignites his saber and shots were fired at him. I kept my saber at my side, but never activated it because as soon as they were on equal ground Kylo froze the girl.

"The girl I've heard so much about," Kylo spoke through the voice decoder. "Officer, you may want to see this," He called back to me and I revealed myself from the trees. I stood a few feet back from Kylo as he tried to probe the girl's mind and he did to a certain point.

"The map, she has seen it," Kylo spoke lowly.

"What about the droid?" I asked.

"Forget the droid, we have what we need," He growled and with a swipe of his hand, the girl was unconscious in his arms. I felt a heavy tug in my heart as I watched how swiftly Kylo took the girl into his arms but it didn't concern me, I am his lover.

I headed back to my quarters after requesting to change my bandages. it's only been little over a week since my operation but my false sense of strength was enough to fool Kylo into letting me join him for raids, interrogations, and missions. I felt bad deceiving him but I did not want to seem inadequate anymore. He was interrogating the girl, I watched what he did, what he said as I pulled off the slightly bloody bandages. I looked down at the red and pink line that crossed my stomach but the scar on my chest and face was the one I was most conscious about. it healed very unevenly and for a while, Kylo couldn't look at me. He did feel bad that he had to hurt me in such a way but if it was for my survival. But again, in those soft moments when he wasn't Kylo Ren, he became someone else...he becomes Ben Solo. it had bothered me since the day that i went under and that voice said that name. And i sorely wanted to ask kylo about it but i had a feeling that the conversation would not end well if i did. So i kept it behind a barrier that he couldn't break or sense.

"She resisted you" i whispered as Kylo paced angrily around the room. After the meeting with Snoke we were both dealing with our frustrations, Kylo more than myself but still, the girl defied him but Snoke went after Kylo because he didn't let me have a crack at her. Snoke and Hux went on this whole thing about how Kylo was keeping me as a pet and yes, i am a little frustrated that Kylo won't allow me into action. But that's also why Snoke made me Co-commander again, which added to the frustration. I felt the conflict in Kylo, i felt his worry...his worry that i would become stronger than him.

"That won't happen,"I spoke up and Kylo paused from his pacing. "It won't happen because we are equal halves, the only way either one of us will ever get stronger is when we become one," i added and heard Kylo huff. "You said it yourself Kylo, that's why i got the other half of your kyber crystal," i stood up but didn't go near him.

"I could have been wrong," Kylo growled and i was taken back.

"D-do you really think i want to be more powerful than you?" i asked and walked forward grabbing his arm but he jerked away. "No! Don't do this! Talk to me Kylo!" i snapped and jerked him around to face me. "I want to be with you, i don't want to overpower you, but i don't want to be lesser. I want to be your equal. Scratch that, we are equals!" i snapped and he just watched me with a blank expression. "Kylo! Say something!" i begged.
