The Last Jedi fan-fiction (Name under construction)

Chapter Nine.

Kylo Ren's Point of View.

"Give us something..." he began to say as he pushed himself off of the chair and stepped towards her. "Anything at all, Raia. Even the smallest bit of detail would save you from being forced to see Supreme Leader Snoke again and..." he said, trailing off towards the end and he saw her move her head to look at him slowly.

"And?" she asked as she watched him and he swallowed heavily, looking away from her for a moment before he looked back and stepped closer to her, close enough that he wouldn't have had to reach up and touch her if he chose to.

"I...I can't stand the thought of you being put through that kind of pain again...Ever...Ever since the last time I was in here I've felt...a connection between us. Almost like a pull from some invisible fo-" he began to say before he stopped as he realised what was happening between them.

"No..." he said in a whisper as he looked at her and she frowned some.

"No what?" she asked confused as she looked at him and he met her gaze. He swallowed heavily as he looked at her before he glanced down at his hands for a moment.

"The last time I was here," he began to say as he slowly clenched his hands into a fist each. "Did you feel something...Almost something akin to a pull?" he asked her and he saw her stiffen before she looked away from him. He frowned at her before he reached out and took hold of her chin once more, forcing her to look at him.

"Answer me," he snapped at her and she scowled before giving him a forced nod of her head.

"I did...And it was coming from you," she said through clenched teeth and he let go of her face at her reply.

"It is true. I didn't believe the stories I was told but it can happen..." he said in a whisper as he turned away from her but still remaining close to her.

"What are you talking about? What stories?" she asked him as he felt her looking at him and he turned back to face her now.

"There have been stories where...Where two people, who are Force sensitive...Are bound together. Bound by the Force so that everything one of the bound pair feels, the other also feels it..." he explained to her and he watched and stepped closer to her, reaching up and lightly touching her bruised cheek with his gloved hand. He ran his thumb over one of the cuts on her cheek and she winced, causing him to wince as well.

"Everything that was done to you since the day that we spoke in my quarters I have felt. Everything that Hux and Supreme Leader Snoke did to you, I have experienced," he said in a whisper as he continued to run his thumb over her cheek. She looked up at him as he continued to do this before he stopped and just let his hand rest there.

"Why did it bind us...?" he asked in a whisper as he moved closer to her and rested his forehead against hers. He saw and felt her wince before she closed her eyes and he watched her before closing his eyes as well.

"I don't know..." she whispered in return after a moment before she sighed and he looked at her after opening his eyes.

"We're supposed to be enemies...Why did it bind us? I don't understand..." he said in a whisper and she coughed slightly, wincing and pulling away from him slightly.

"We need to be careful. No one can know about this. Especially Snoke because he will use it as a way to get information from me and you know that I am not going to give you anything at all," she said to him and he nodded his head.

"I know. I figured that out when you didn't talk when the Supreme Leader was trying to get information from you," he said in a small voice.

"So...You don't intend to continue trying to get information from me?" she asked him surprised and he gave a shake of his head.

"No. I am not. Though if he sends me in here then I have to at least pretend to be trying to get information," he replied and she nodded her head, leaning back into the metal bed for a moment before she sighed.

"I should go, Raia. You will need your rest if you are going to make it through your time here..." he said to her quietly before he pulled away from her and stood up, reaching for his helmet again.

"Will..." she began to say and he paused to look back at her now. "Will I have to go back to Snoke?" she asked him in a small voice and he stiffened, looking away from her as he quickly put his helmet back on before leaving the room without answering her question.
