Salvation

Chapter 25

Reys body was lifted off the stretcher and placed on the ground in a standing position. She struggled to even move her head just an inch but to no avail. She was completely paralyzed, her jaw practically wired shut.

Her eyes scannedthe room. She was in the conference room where she had first met Snoke. This time, instead of just Hux and Snokes hologram, guards were placed around them, 10 she counted. They wore all red with staffs as their weapons. Except the staffs appeared to have an electrical current through them.

The troopers took the stretcher and left the room. Hux remained, standing in front of her.

He caressed her lips and Rey was powerless to do anything.

"Wonderful success, general." Snokes voice echoed.

Rey expected to see a hologram but her eyes looked around and daw none. Hux grinned and stepped go the side with his back turned go Rey. She saw now there would be no hologram. Snoke stood before them, more hideous to Rey in person than she can ever imagine a creature like him would be.

"If you were force sensitive General I imagine you would be unstoppable."

"You're too kind, Supreme Leader. I also must mention to you, I've been made aware Kylo Ren has met with General Organa and made no arrests. He attacked our own guards and handed them over to her."

"Traitor!" Snoke hissed. "What a sad disappointment."

"He's currently heading back to base."

"Make sure he is apprehended for a public execution." Snoke ordered.

"The order has already been made."

Rey felt her body lightly jerk. Snokes face went to her. He slowly started to walk towards her. She wanted to push herself through everything she had to fight.

Come on, it's just mechanics. You can fight this!

"Rey..." He hissed. Reys stomach turned hearing him say her name. "It could have been so simple for you. All you would have had to do was give us the map, join the order and you could have been successful. You would have shined among the Knights. Your downfall?" He was now inches away from her face.

His cold thick claws lifted her chin to look up at him, bringing a sharp pain throughout her neck. If she could, she would be screaming.

"You are filled with too much power. A good amount that is so powerful in the dark side. If you gave in, you could put the galaxy to it's knees."

He pushed her chin down, making her head face the ground slightly, bringing another surge of sharp electic darts stabbing away at the movement.

"But you also are filled with light. Which was the undoing of my apprentice. Either side you choose, you cannot live on. But before you die, I will claw my way in and take that map!" He shouted. He turned, leaving her head in the position it was and walked back to his throne.

Reys eyes saw the switch that activated the binders. If she wasn't under the control of the power source, she could reach the switch with her finger and turn it off. But moving was impossible. The force was her only option. Getting the recent injection didn't help the case but like she was told, it didn't take the force away completely.

As she concentrated, she felt as if she was hit in the head by a sharp rock. To her terror, the binders had an effect on her using the force.

But she couldn't accept this fate. She will not be used like a puppet. Or worse. She looked up with her eyes to see Snoke still walking slowly.
