The Rise of Love

Chapter 12

"Kylo they must have tracked us somehow!" Rey warned Kylo. He was too quiet he hadn't said anything since they departed the planet. He had been betrayed once more but now from his own Knights. How could Darth Sidious, a force ghost, be capable of persuading his Knights. He was their leader, not only that, he was the Supreme Leader. All his plans to conquer everything were being destroyed by a mere Dark Lord of the past. What if he was being haunted for all the wrongs he had committed. This was his fault for getting involved with Rey, she seduced him to the light. Was it true? Was there no darkness left in him? How could he be Supreme Leader of the First Order if he had betrayed everything he believed in. He was the real traitor and now possibly a fugitive and traitor of the First Order, he had nowhere to go back to.

"I know how you feel... and no you haven't been betrayed by me. I'm still here and I care about you" Rey read his thoughts. "It's easy to say when you haven't lost anything" Kylo sneered at her. "Well sorry for disappointing you Kylo or should I call you Ben now?" Rey sneered back. "We are being tracked" He said. "I know! I just told you, you weren't listening to me, you were too busy thinking about your luxurious items in your base ship" Rey said. "We have no time to fight let's land in Kijimi, we need to remove the tracker" Kylo decided and they landed.

Kijimi was another dessert planet, not as hot as Jakku though. "I don't understand how they tracked us, I removed the tracker from the ship the day we arrived at Jakku" Rey told Kylo impatiently. "Then how did they know we were there?" He asked her back with the same impatience. "You know... I've always wondered how you managed to escape from the Star Killer Planet. You weren't near a ship nor station" Rey asked Ben suspiciously. "You know I loved you since then. I can't believe you wanted me dead" Kylo was being honest. "But now that you mention that... I don't know how Hux's men found me, probably Snoke felt my presence and told them exactly where I was?" Kylo told Rey. Rey looked at him from head to toes. He felt a bit intimidated by her. Then she started touching his paddings on his clothes. "What are you suggesting? Not even Storm Troppers have a chip in them, we could have found your friend, what do you call him Finn?" Kylo was making fun of Rey with his tone, he couldn't possibly be have a tracker. He was the Supreme Leader of the galaxy no one would dare to put a tracking device on him. "Your belt! Take it off!" Rey extended her hand in demand. "My belt? I need them for my pants!" Kylo moaned. "Take it off!" she was serious this time. He removed his belt and handed it over to her. "Don't break It I like that belt" He said. Rey took the belt and examined it and crashed it in the floor. "Hey!!! I just told you that's my favorite belt!" Ben complained. "It had a tracking device..." she leaned down picked up the damaged chip "Hux you son of a bitch..." Kylo examined the chip and finished destroying it in his closed grip. "You're welcome" Rey said sarcastically. Kylo accommodated his belt back in place.

"Now that we are no longer traceable, and you are a fugitive of the First Order, its time to call the Resistance" Rey told Kylo. "The Resistance!? Are you out of your mind? They will kill me with no hesitation" Kylo exclaimed. "Then I will call my friends we can't fight the First Order just the two of us" She explained to him and decided to contact Finn a hologram projector. "Rey!! Where are you?! Are you alright? Are you still with Kylo Ren? Why didn't you contact us before?" Finn was asking so many questions that he didn't let Rey speak. "Finn I'm alright I'm at Kijimi with Kylo. We were attacked by the First Order they are trying to capture us" Rey explained to Finn. "Are you saying Kylo Ren is not the Supreme Leader?" Finn asked. "Yes, I'm still the Supreme Leader" Kylo interrupted Rey. "We can explain everything but don't tell the Resistance come with Poe" Rey interrupted Kylo. "We'll be on our way Rey. Just for the record we are doing this for you not him" Finn said, and the hologram finished. "Let's find some shelter" Rey suggested.

Once they were able to find shelter, Kylo sat on the floor trying to meditate about everything. He had been distant with Rey ever since he found out he was no longer in charge of the first order. Hux had to be behind this, he never really liked him. Then he thought of the week he was with Rey and how he felt in peace. He needed her and if he wasn't going to join her then he would follow her. 

They had to destroy Darth Sidious together, but first they needed to confront the Knights of Ren.
