Salvation

Chapter 15

Today was the day Rey was going to enter the training room. She was kind if looking forward to it, possibly to let out some pent up steam. Her and Kylo have been more civilized together but she still couldn't help herself.

She started taking her pills regularly because it was helping. She just wouldn't take it so easily, just to get under his skin. She stretched every morning, and a few days ago she finally felt no more pain. So Kylo had given her the day that he felt she would be fully recovered to train.

They ate their breakfast and Kylo began placing the dishes and food on the counter space so the droids would collect them. He heard a beep at his door, expecting the clean up crew.

He walked over to open it.
"Oh..." He bit his bottom lip. Rey lifted her head in that direction, curiously.

He stepped aside and some droids went quickly to the kitchen to collect the food, but one droid followed Kylo slowly.

"Rey, this droid is going to give you an injection." He said, cautiously. She had finally been more cooperative with him lately and he was worried this would make him start all over again.

"What?" She rose up from the table.

"It's a bi-weekly injection. It's quick."

"What for?"

"To suppress your force."

"Why?" She was afraid. She hadn't used it much but maybe it's because she couldn't. But she also didn't know how. "I thought you were going to show me how to use it!" She got loud.

"I will. This won't take it away, I just need it at bay. It's not permanent."

He and the droid stepped closer. Reys eyes widened when she saw the needle. She stumbled backwards.

"It's okay Rey, just sit down and it'll be fast."

"Um...I'm..." She started stammering.

"Rey...are you afraid of the needle?" He smirked.

"No!" She looked at him, irritated.

"Alright...then have a seat." He gestured to the chair.

She kept her eyes on the needle as she walked over and sat down. When the droid came closer she flinched back, almost falling off the chair.

Kylo knelt down next to her. "Here." He offered her his hand. "Squeeze it. It'll take your mind off of it."

She hesitated before putting her hand in his. Immediately, another spark pulsed through them. She has lightly at it but kept her focus on the droid coming closer to her. She started to turn her head towards it, eyeing the needle once more.

"Don't look at it. Just look at me." He spoke.

She turned back to him, paying more attention to his lips. His full lips, that were almost twitching up into a smirk. She let her eyes wander more downward, towards his hand that lightly held hers. She was feeling the droid put something cold and a little wet on her bicep. Then a little pinch and she squeezed Kylos hand.

She caught his smile for a moment before it quickly faded.

"How much longer?" She grunted.

"It's done."

She looked up, and saw the droid leaving the room quickly. It beeped for Kylo to let it out along with the cleaning droids. So he softly placed her hand on her lap and walked to the door.

She touched at her arm where the droid had injected her. No blood or bruising. He was right, it really was quick.

She walked over to the training room entrance and looked at Kylo. He nodded at her and she pressed her hand to the sensor and it opened. He had told her that she would have access to it once she was healed.
