Salvation

Chapter 32

Rey and Brienne were using the bow and arrows Brienne found to shoot some targets. Brienne was hitting all her marks impressively. Rey struggled a little but was able to pick it back up. She felt a competitive side of her rise up and started shooting at multiple targets in a quick amount of time. Brienne picked up the pace and immidiately caught up matching Reys time and hits.

Rey started running while shooting and was able to hit more targets. She smiled as she felt proud of how quickly she can pick up on this skill. Once Brienne caught up, Rey decided to grab 3 arrows and as quick as she could aline them on the string and pull. She released them and watched all three fly towards the tree in a perfect straight line and hit.

Brienne slowed her pace until she was standing next to Rey.

"Damn...how the hell?" She more so was asking herself as she looked at the three perfectly alined arrows.

She looked back at Rey and nodded with am impressed expression.

"I didn't really know I could do that." Rey said quietly.

"We all have hidden skills under our skin. If we're inspired enough, we learn something new each time." Brienne patted Reys shoulder.

Rey looked around and noticed they made their far from the training camp. They had ventured further into the woods. Rey felt something was off.

"Lets head back..." Rey said suspiciously.

"What's wrong? I was just getting started." Brienne said eagerly.

Rey looked around and slowly pulled out an arrow and held it with the bow, prepared for anything that can emerge. She looked back at Brienne who was playfully holding three arrows, trying to figure out how to hold them and aim.

Rey started to turn when something caught her attention to the left of the trees. She turned immidiately, bow and arrow raised. 

She stood alert, scanning every part of the trees for anything out of the ordinary. Then she felt something. She turned and shot Brienne who was swinging her leg towards Rey's head. She ducked back, dodging the arrow and Rey rolled to the side avoiding Brienne's kick.

"I guess the cats out of the bag." Brienne said, marching towards Rey.

Rey aimed at her again, shooting one arrow after another as Brienne ran quickly in a circle around Rey. Once Rey was out of arrows she threw down her bow and arrow.

Brienne advanced towards Rey again, preparing to attack. Rey waited for Brienne to get closer and rolled past her swinging a back kick to her side. Brienne turned and swung at Rey, Rey blocking each hit with her forearm until she found an opening and punched Brienne square in the face.

She took advantage of the moment and kicked Briennes stomach. Brienne lowered to her knee from the impact and as Rey jumped up to strike her, the tall muscular blonde grabbed Rey's throat and slammed her on the ground. Holding her in place she punched Rey in the nose. She raised her fist to punch her again but Rey was able to lift her leg and counter the punch by kicking Brienne in the side of the head, knocking her completely off her.

Rey rolled backwards until she was on her feet and rose up, preparing to defend herself. Suddenly something hit her in the back of the neck.

Rey reached and pulled out a syringe in the shape of a dart. She turned to see two troopers and Hux in the middle.

"Hello again, scavenger."
