Salvation

Chapter 7

"Kylo Ren." Her voice echoed in his head. He was looking through his data pad in his quarters when he heard her voice. He thought he was simply hearing things when he turned back into his den area and saw her. Just as clear as she would be if they were in the same room. She was sitting down and didn't seem to notice him. He nearly held his breath as he watched her. She seemed to be listening to someone that he couldn't see.

She had a tan pair of pants that stopped mid calf. She had leather boots that looked homemade. She wore a white small top with short sleeves that exposed her lower stomach and her forearms wrapped in black bindings. She seemed to have some paint design on her cheeks and chin. He could have swore he seen such design before but he couldn't place it. Her hair still in the three style but not buns. It was longer, her hair now. He could tell she didn't know how to groom it.

"She was your love." Rey spoke sadly.

She was definitely listening to someone. But how was she doing this? She definitely couldn't have been doing it on her own. The amount of energy you would have to give off to project yourself this far out, it could kill her. This was something else. But still, he didn't move. He just watched her. Studied her face. She looked sad. Something she wa heading wasn't very good. Through the paint on her face he can see she had a little more of a tan that graced her. On her collar bone some small freckles spread about. Even in a sitting position he can see her body had gotten even more toned. She was still quite small. Would probably still be weightless in his arms.

He recalls back when he put her in force sleep and she fell over in his arms.

It was like holding a cloud.

Then he felt something. She closed her eyes and had been pulling something to herself. A memory. She was using the force! How can she do this with no training? How can she do it with such ease. She was seeing a memory and if he dared to, he could have seen what she saw but if he even attempted to take a peak at her mind, she would feel him for sure. So he just watched.

He wasn't sure how long he stood there but watched as she eventually rose up. She was breathing hard and her face began to twist into rage and she started swinging her staff blindly. He could tell there was no one there with her, whoever she had been  speaking to long gone. She was more than angry, she was distressed. It's been months since he seen her and wondered if she still felt the loss of Han. He started to feel sorry again for hurting her, this wild creature.

"Rey..." escaped his lips before he can think.

She stopped swinging and paused. He held his breath. She slowly looked in his direction and he could see now she saw him. She was baffled. Her brows furrowed and he wanted to ask her if she can see his surroundings. Before he opened his mouth she spun and swung her staff at him to strike him in the gut. He reacted and flinched but felt nothing. He looked up and she was gone. He looked around and there was no trace of her in his quarters. The ding from his door caught his attention.

He walked over and pressed his hand on the comp and the door slid open. His, looking annoyed was on the other side.

"Our Supreme Leader demands our presence." He said. He hated being treated as a messenger and even more so to Kylo. But Kylo didn't care at all what Hux felt.

He stepped outside and walked passed Hux towards the conference room for Snokes hologram. Hux followed muttering curses under his breath.

Such a useless little man.

They entered the lift and stood in silence for a moment before Kylo spoke.

"Any thoughts to what this is about?"
