Kylo's calling

Seventh

Hello. There's a picture ^. I edited a reylo picture so now it's Kylo and KA. (She still doesn't have a name.) I'm pretty good with digital editing, so it's okay I guess.  Credit goes to the original creator of that reylo image. Credit for the new one goes to me.

I didn't bother opening my eyes as I woke.

My entire body was in pain, and I moaned quietly as I turned over.
As I slowly pulled my conscience up from the depths of sleep, I couldn't help but over hear some voices above me.

"...fever. We gave her some medication for it, it'll be down by this afternoon. She'll need a cold bath every hour or so." Said an unknown, female voice.

"What about the blood?" Came a deep voice. This voice, I knew.
If I had the energy, I would have frowned.
What is Kylo Ren doing here?

"Please Lord Ren, for the tenth time, she hasn't been stabbed or wounded in any form. It's a natural thing all women's bodies go threw. She just missed her injection. If anything, her getting her period is a sign of health."

"So she won't bleed out?" Did he sound...concerned?
By the obvious worry in Kylo's voice, I came to the answer that this must be a fever induced dream.
No way he would be worried for little ol me.

"No, Lord Ren."

"And there's no way to stop it?"

"We gave her absorbent undergarments, which should stop another leak."

I hear the sound of pacing, and I squeezed the pillow harder. I seemed to be on a small bed.
Was I in the infirmary?

"You can take her back to her room now, Lord Ren." Said the nurse. "She'll need a cold bath every hour or so to bring the fever down. If the fever doesn't go down by tonight, bring her back and we'll run some tests for a virus." She said. "And please, don't panic the next time she bleeds or groans. She's not dying. It's a natural part of having a period." Her voice was laced with mirth, and I fought to keep from smiling as I imagined the kind of scene that Kylo must have raised.

Kylo huffed, and the sound of his foot steps neared me.
I prepared myself as his warm arms slid under me. I kept my face a blank canvas as he lifted me up, one arm in the crook of my knees and the other curved protectively around my shoulders, holding me close to his chest.
I groaned softly at all the movement, and my head fell limp against his shoulder as he straightened.

"Have a good day, Lord Ren." Called the nurse, still sounding amused as he turned away.

My hands laid in my lap, no part of me out of Kylo's grasp as he left the infirmary and strode down the halls.

As he walked, my fever began to pull at my conscience again.
I only resisted a bit before allowing it to pull me under.
If this had taken place a week ago, I would have fought tooth and nail to stay awake.
But now, there was no reason too. After all, who would dare harm me when I was in the arms of the most dangerous man in the Galaxy?

I fell asleep with a ghost of a smile upon my lips.

I was in the grey tunnel again. Light to one side, darkness to the other.

The same man was there again, crying out as darkness wrapped around him and pulled at his clothes.
"Help me! Help me!" He screamed. I tried to run to help free him from the void of darkness, but my feet once again couldn't move. I stretched out a hand, trying to reach him.
The man managed to free an arm and reached out. Our fingers barely brushed before something pulled in my gut. My eyes widened as my feet began to slid backwards, towards the light.
"No! Wait! Please!" The man sobbed, fighting harder. I struggled against the pull, trying to move my feet. I wanted to break free of this, I wanted to tell him I wanted to help, I wanted to scream.
But I couldn't.
"Help me! Help me!" He screamed as tendrils of black clawed at his chest, trying to pull him into the darkness.
I stretched my hand as far as it could go, trying to reach him. 'Take my hand!' I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. My lips moved, but no sound came from them.
