Rey had been cooped up for too many days in this god-forsaken ship. She didn't care where they were off to; she just wanted her feet on the solid ground of a planet.

Any planet.

At first she had wandered around the ship asking for tasks to perform. When she had run out of chores, she attempted to tinker with her broken lightsaber, hoping in vain she could fix it. As she probed a couple frayed wires in the hilt, Rey remembered how her saber came to be like this.

Him.

Rage boiled up within her, unchecked as she ignored her former master's advice to soothe her emotions. Her knuckles turned a bright white as she gripped the piece of her saber harder and harder. Realizing she could damage it even further, she dropped her saber and forced her staff into her hand so violently it slapped her palm.

Then she disappeared from her quarters.

And appeared a distance away from Kylo Ren. He seemed to be so distracted by the meeting he was holding that he didn't notice her arrival. Surrounded by generals and admirals, he was barking orders with a grim efficiency. Kylo's eyes were icy as he eyed everyone in the room.

Rey's anger became a storm as she concentrated hard enough to disappear from her current perch only to reappear directly in front of him. Still clutching her staff, she immediately used all of her strength to swing it around and strike the butt of her weapon into the Supreme Leader's abdomen. Rey stuck around just long enough to see his breath leave his lungs and his eyes widen with recognition. Before he could recover, speak, or act, she had returned to her piece of the galaxy.

Kylo's lungs were empty. The desperate gasps of air were all he could muster as he doubled over in surprise and pain.

The meeting had stopped. Raised eyebrows and confused looks were shot at him from all sides of the table. Hux's expression was of pure delight.

They hadn't seen her.

She had just appeared in the bond, hit him, then disappeared. His pain subsided, replaced by white hot anger. Straightening himself up, he plastered a sneer on his face and announced his departure from the meeting.

As he was stalking towards the exit, Hux's voice piped up, coated in satisfaction. Without listening to a word, Kylo gripped the general's head with the Force and slammed it forward on to the table. With a swish of his cloak he was gone down the hallway, creating chaos and mangling droids in his wake.

She would pay.
