As Kylo continued his fight with the cloaked figure, Hux shuffled to your side; he placed his hand upon your right shoulder you could feel his body shaking whether it was still fear running through him or just shock that his life was so closely taken from him you didn't know. You turned your view towards him and chuckled as one of your eyes was closed, bracing yourself through the waves of pain coursing through your body.
"Well, someone really wanted you dead, Hux" you muttered, sarcastically. All he could muster up was a shocked expression and the shaking of his head "Good thing I have a high pain tolerance" you chuckled again thinking of all the pain you had been put through of these past months "Gotta give it to you guys you really know how to show a girl a good time!".
Hux shook his head, but a small smile appeared on his face, you patted his hand on your shoulder, unfortunately for Hux, though his hand was now stained red with your blood. You saw him look at his hand as he looked at your blood still warm from the wound and gulped trying to muster up the courage to talk.
You shook your head "Don't worry about it" you answered his distressing cry through his eyes "I'll be fine" you smiled at him "believe it or not I've been through worse" you tilted your head slightly to the left " through the pain isn't exactly my style". You heard the snow and ice crunch behind you, hearing familiar voices your body began to relax.
"Hux" you questioned, looking at him.
He strained his face but answered "What?" His voice was small and scared like an injured animal nothing like the normal man he was. "The Stormtrooper on the far left will have extra medical supplies, I purposely ordered him to carry them" You smirked at him "just in case anything happened". His expression was confused at first but quickly caught on "you knew someone was going to get hurt?" He questioned with a small voice.
You nodded softly. "Me to be exact" you answered, he noticed your expression change to that of humour to serious "no way in hell was I going to let anyone of you gets hurt on my account". Hux's eyebrows knotted together "why?" He muttered.
Closing your eyes slightly, you smiled at him "Because it's my job to protect you both" His eyes widened "what?" He questioned. You nodded, pressing harder down on the wound "I made a promise to myself when training with Snoke, three to be exact. 1. I would become stronger and I won't stop until I've reached my limits, 2. I won't let the Rebels or anyone beat us! The First Order will come out on top" Hux could see how devoted you were to the Order and it clicked within him, you weren't simply there because Kylo was there, Well he was one of the reasons but there was others, your pride and love for your home was one of them.
He felt guilty for misjudging your reasons to stay on the Destroyer and not only did you have passion and loyalty, your commitment to the First Order as well, pride rose within his chest, not only did you follow and believe the same thing he did but you also trusted and believed in him!
"The third?" He answered sounding a lot more like himself.
"That I would protect both you and Kylo with my life. Don't get me wrong here Hux. I'd lay my life down for Kylo any day, anywhere at any time". Hux could feel your passion for Kylo even more so than before, was it because it was a mutual feeling? He didn't know.
"But you're as equally as important to me. Hux, be what it may what Snoke says about you, a rat or a weasel". He noticed your stare was harder than before. "you are the pure motion of the First Order and together with both Kylo and me your voice will become stronger" you smirked at him "whether or not Snoke likes it, we'll make it happen".
Just as he was about to say something a hard, crushing thud hit the floor. As both of you turned, you noticed the cloaked figure laying on the floor. You sighed, feeling slightly better at the sight of the person who just stabbed you beaten to the ground by the person you loved. You braced one of your hands on Hux's shoulder and pulled yourself up, grunting as you moved.
Hux helped, moving closer to your side, one hand grasped your arm that was bracing itself upon his shoulder the other around your waist. You noted that it felt weird that Hux were basically hugging you but you needed all the help you could get right now. "Thanks" you muttered. Hux just nodded.
You both noticed Kylo raise his Lightsaber into the air and you both knew what would come next.
"Wait!" You shouted anger flashed over Kylo's face. "WAIT?!" He screamed, "he stabbed you!" Rage ran through his body.
Sighed as your braced for another wave of pain you muttered to him "this person was probably ordered by someone to kill Hux" you nudged your head towards Hux next to you "which means someone higher up on the food chain did the ordering. Obviously, their little group of Rogues aren't as little and unorganised as I thought" Kylo could see the strain on your face, the pain and loss of blood were becoming unbearable for you.
"So?" He questioned, sounding a lot more irritated then he wanted.
You smiled at him "why don't you do what you do best?" You answered. "bring it aboard like the rest and torture them for it" your smile turned into a sadistic smirk. "Kill two birds with one stone and get a little payback for me while you're at it?".
Kylo smirked at your answer "it seems my lady knows me all too well". As he stared at the person underneath his feet "Don't worry, it'll hurt more then you think".
