Salvation

Chapter 21

Rey was inconsolable for a few hours. Kylo had sat with her on the bed while she sobbed into his chest. She clutched onto his tunic tightly, leaving little clumps of wrinkled fabric when she let go.

The moment replayed over and over again in her mind to the point Kylo was started to seethe with hatred. Snoke was an all powerful being. He had guided Kylo when he was lost and felt betrayed. No, not felt; WAS betrayed. He was a fearful yet respectable leader. How can he respect something that tear and violate a young girl completely unprovoked? Yes, they all wanted the map. But he wasn't really digging that hard for it.

Something else had also weighed heavy on Kylos mind. She was actually able to project herself into Snokes head! Kylo has never even dared attempted such a thing, for fear of what would be done to him.

She was strong. She needed to be guided in the proper direction of her powers. Snoke wouldn't be the right person for that. Kylo had hoped if she joined the dark side, both of them could have trained under Snokes leadership and both could have put order back into the galaxy. They could have ruled together. But that's not what Rey would want. Not after this.

"Why don't you take a shower, I'll put this food away for later and bring you something more comforting." He offered.

"I...dont want to move. I don't want to do anything." Her voice cracked.

"Come on, it'll be good for you." He got off the bed and took her hand. She let him guide her into the bathroom. He turned on the fresher for her and turned to leave.

"Just take all the time you need." He lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead without thinking. But she didn't fight him. She looked back to watch him leave the bathroom and close the door.

Taking a shaky breath, she began to undress and stepped into the hot water. She sat on the floor, letting it hit her face and wash the pain away, or at least attempt to. Either way, it was a temporary pain reliever she didn't mind. She lowered her head do the water can hit the back of her head. The pain was pounding. She felt like her head was slammed on the tiled wall multiple times.

Kylos not the monster...

Kylo was pouring some water into a glass when his door beeped. Not expecting any droids, Kylo was a bit puzzled as he approached the door. He opened it up and had to fight the urge to slam it back shit.

"What do you want?" Kylo demanded.

"Such attitude, is something bothering you?" Hux mocked him.

"What was done in that room last night was shameful. That is not how this order should be run!" Kylo spat.

"It's funny you would think that way when you knew well of how this order was run before." Hux pushed his way inside. "Now this scavenger appears and the big bad Kylo Ren has morals. Where were those thoughts when you killed your father, young Solo?" He sneered.

Kylo was shaking. He used the force to bring his light saber to his hand from where it had been in his room. He ignited the red blade and approached Hux trembling with rage.

"Careful Ren, would you risk your place here?" Hux swallowed his fear.

"You lose your place more often then not, general." Kylo spoke through gritted teeth. He raised the blade closer to Hux "And I'm getting real tired of you crossing the line."

Kylo retracted the blade and attached it his belt. "But you're not worth the risk." He turned back towards the table.

"And I suppose she is?" Hux asked.

Kylo stopped and turned back to face him.

"Yes, she is we suspect. You know, you turn your nose down on Supreme Leaders interrogation on the girl yet, you were the one who took her twice."
