Salvation

Chapter 31

Today was the day. Ben, Leia and Poe would be heading off to the high commanders base to meet with them. They would discuss a truce and possibly Leia can take control leading a peaceful reign.

Finn and Rose flew off to another planet several days ago and they had just landed in today, moving about as obviously suspicious as they can. Someone will report them for sure.

Then Rey was to be left behind. Ben insisted to her and it made her furious.

                          Yesterday

"I can help, just 3 of you isn't enough and it won't raise many questions if one more joins." Rey protested.

"Out of the two of us, you are the most wanted person in the galaxy and once spotted they will not hesitate to attack. I was once an apprentice and am under less severe charges. They will have to listen." Ben objected.

"Rey in case there is a chance of an attack here, we need you to lead the rebels." Leia tried to pursuade her.

"If they see me here, they will attack. If they seem with you, they will attack. If they're gonna attack no matter what it can be safe for them if I am not here!"

"Rey the answer is no and that is the emd of discussion." Ben demanded. He kept his cold expression on Rey, clenching his jaw. He didn't want to argue. Not in front of others.

Rey remained silent, tightening her fists. Her eyes darted down to the floor. They were dismissed and Rey inmidiately stood up and stormed out of the room before anyone else could rise from their chairs.

She hurried into her own room, not caring if Ben would join her or not. She stood in the middle of her room, breathing heavily, looking around fot something to punch. She not waiting another moment, she took her aim at the window and chucked her fist through the glass.

Shards of glass sprayed outward from the impact and as she pulled her hand back, she sliced a bit arpund her wrist and forearm. She looked at the window instantly regretting the move since this was a place for Leia and her team. Rey didn't want to cause a negative impression just because she couldn't control her temper.

She opened a drawer and pulled out a black item of clothing, possibly a shirt and wrapped it around her arm. She sat at her bed, leaning back into the wall. She tried to focus on the ocean waves since she didn't want to get up at the moment when she heard her door open.

"Rey, I'm-" Ben cut off when he saw her hand wrapped messily in a black fabric.

He looked around until he saw the window, noticing the small droplets of blood that stained the floor around the broken glass shards.

"Rey...what did you do?"

"It's not a big deal." She mumbled.

He stormed over to her and grabbed her arm aggressively. He started to grab at the fabric when he noticed her wincing and stopped. He then carefully unwrapped her shirt from her hand and sighed when he saw the cuts around her tiny wrists and the blood stained knuckles with tiny pieces of glass pieces that still stuck to her pale skin.

"Rey. This is ridiculous."

"Then don't think about it." She snapped.

"So you don't get your way, you do something childish like this?"he shouted, raising her arm up.

She snatched her arm out of his grasp and stood up off the bed. "What's really ridiculous is what happened in that room!" She yelled.

He stood up now, towering over her, causing her to stumble back.
