"Arrrgh!" he screamed to the room around him; why had she done that, and maker, why did he stop her? He felt the ghost of her in his arms. The warmth that was once there slowly faded as the chill of the ship set it. He glanced at the empty space that was once her before slamming his fist into the wall over and over until the pain began to register in his head. He looked down at his knuckles; at the blood seeping from the cuts that were now littered across his hand.

"Kriff!!" He got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom and turned on the faucet, allowing the cool water to rinse the blood away and calm the swelling. This was going to hurt tomorrow. He wrapped his hand in a towel before returning to his room where he fell back into his bed. The pain had helped him to focus.

Rey was going to make him lose his mind. She shouldn't have kissed him, but he definitely shouldn't have kissed her back, either. He shouldn't have touched her, held her even. He needed to forget her, to erase her from his mind. She was hindering his ability to rule over the galaxy and if she wouldn't join him - he stopped that thought in its tracks. He could convince her, he needed to. She kissed him, after all; perhaps she felt something for him; perhaps she would join him this time.

He needed to find a solution because she was clearly his weakness. The pull to the light that he could not afford. Rey needed to join him or be ended; the dark side of the force was where Kylo Ren belonged. It was the most power he had ever felt, and he couldn't let an insignificant girl with her damned kisses ruin all of his hard work.

"My Lord." The sound of his room's intercom system echoed against the walls.

"What!" It seemed like he couldn't get a moment's rest.

"General Hux has requested your presence on the bridge."  Of course; that useless man couldn't even manage the simplest of tasks let alone command an entire armada.

"Fine, I will be there momentarily," he hissed. He removed the towel from his hand and tossed it to the floor. The plan could wait, it seemed a certain idiot needed looking after.

Kylo strode through the doorway to the bridge. The officers turned to greet him, rising to stand at attention.

"At ease," Kylo said as he walked further on to the bridge. General Hux was seated and talking to one of the lieutenants. He turned towards Kylo as he entered. Kylo had to resist the urge to throw the man across the room.

"Rest well, my lord?" he asked sarcastically. Armitage was infuriating, Kylo could not even fathom how he had become a general in the first place.

"It would have been better had I not been disturbed" Kylo growled, his eyes throwing daggers at the red head. Punching that man in the face would be more than   satisfying, but there were too many witnesses.

"We will be arriving on Endor shortly, my Lord......General." one of the first officers spoke up from where he sat at the controls.

"Excellent," Kylo nodded before turning to Hux. "Now, what is it you want? I told you not to disturb me. Is it your lack of discipline or the inability to lead that makes you continue to disobey orders, General?

Hux scowled but didn't answer immediately. Instead, he rose from the chair he was seated in and moved to stand next to Kylo.

Kylo stepped to the left to avoid being so near this man. Anything in an effort to avoid catching the idiocy that was surely running through the General's veins.

"My Lord?" Hux began. "How do you intend to find the Resistance? We need to find their planet of refuge, then we can blow them to smithereens." He sounded excited.

Kriffen bantha turd.

"So far, it has been difficult to track their whereabouts. But I am confident with our new base and long-range scanners we will find them. With your permission, my Lord, I'd like to assign several more of the men to the task of locating them. Then, we will wipe them from the galaxy." Kylo hated the way Hux addressed him. He could hear the sarcasm in his voice; that insufferable bastard did everything to infuriate Kylo.

"Fine," Kylo answered quickly. "Assign two teams from Lieutenant Rodinon's troops." The Lieutenant's troopers were not the brightest and they would take the longest to get anything done. Kylo counted on that; he still had to figure out how to end this war without spilling any more blood.

"Very good, my Lord," Hux answered. He turned to one of the troopers. "FN-2389, fetch me Lieutenant Rodinon and tell him to report to the bridge immediately."

"Right away general," The trooper left without another word.

"Ahh, soon there will be nothing stopping the First Order," Hux mused. His mouth was twisted into a what Kylo thought to be a grin and he shuddered internally. "We only need to retrieve the Jakku rat and bring her to justice for her crimes. Maybe by public execution?" he mused. He looked at Kylo and smiled.

Kylo felt his blood boil at the mention of Rey and in seconds he lifted his hand and sent Hux crashing back into the computer panel behind him. The panel and screen shattered under Hux's weight and he let out a yelp of pain.

"General," Kylo could taste the fear radiating from everyone in the room. He turned a cold gaze to the General.

"You will not touch a hair on the girl's head. I warned you before, and this will be the last time I say it. I will find the girl and punish her myself. If you disobey my order you will find yourself enjoying your meals through a tube. Do I make myself clear?" He was now standing over Hux, who had just barely sat back up. Blood was dripping down the Generals face from where a shard of glass had sliced his forehead.

"Yes, my Lord," Hux spat. He glared up at Kylo, but said nothing more.

Kylo turned to one of the officers who stood frozen in fear next to where Hux had landed. "Clean up this mess, and General, get yourself some stitches." Finally he turned to leave before he did something even worse to the General, like murder him.

"Prepare my ship immediately," Kylo barked at a passing officer. He jumped in fear but quickly turned around and headed to the shuttle bay.

Kylo needed to be off this ship and away from Hux. That man would stop at nothing to destroy the Resistance as well as the galaxy.

Kylo needed to assemble his knights. He would use them to help control the First Order once he put his new plan into motion. The First Order would no longer be a power that was feared. He would make peace with his demons and then finally rest. Perhaps, he hoped, Rey would be with him.
