CRIMSON STREAM [KYLO REN X READER] BOOK I

8

You gasped, eyes wide. It wasn't your guards nor Kylo's guards - it was your step uncle's guards that stormed inside. They ripped you away from your fiance, two of them grabbing both of your wrists tight in their hands as the dragged you to the opposite side of the room. 

You saw your fiance lift a hand, and you felt the Force swirl around him as he responded to the sudden threat.

The other guard pointed a weapon straight at Kylo's throat. 

"No!" you screeched, yanking one arm free and using it to grab the guard's elbow. You rammed your knee in between in his legs, and in your brief moment of freedom and distraction, used the Force to rip the weapon from the other guard's hand. 

Kylo removed his lightsaber, igniting it. The red lit up the dimness of the bedroom. He sliced it through the belly of the unarmed guard and lifted a hand once more, this time causing your vanity to soar across the room. It hit the other guard holding you. 

Your step uncle walked inside of your room, your sister directly behind him. 

Kylo moved to Force choke him, and you followed suit-

But your limbs were suddenly frozen. You were completely paralyzed. And, glancing at Kylo, you could see that he was, too.

And you knew, by the look in your step uncle's eyes, it was him doing it. 

"Alastor," you gasped, eyes wide. 

Your heart sank to your feet. They had caught you. Your step uncle had the control now. It was over. 

"Well, well," he said. "What an interesting time to intrude." Your step uncle smiled proudly. "Now, I was planning on intruding nonetheless... but to see this just makes it all so much better."

"Planning on intruding?" you asked. 

He jerked his head. More guards spilled into the room. "Disarm him," he said, gesturing to Kylo. "And grab her."

As the guards took your arms again, you were caught in the side with the back end of the guard's spears. You hissed in pain. 

"Silence!" they ordered. 

Alastor approached you and shook his head. "Breaking the one rule set before you. Why am I... not surprised?" He suddenly grabbed your hair, right where you had been injured just this morning, and he yanked. 

You cried out in pain and felt him grip your jaw, twisting your face towards Kylo. 

"Was it worth it?" he asked, and you weren't sure what he meant by that.

"Will this be worth it?" Kylo asked, voice cold. 

"Don't threaten me, Commander. I don't think you realize how angry the Supreme Leader will be over this." He then snapped his fingers. "Take her to the dungeons, strap her to an interrogation chair," he ordered. "I'll be there shortly to deal with it."

Suddenly, you were not paralyzed anymore - and you were ready to fight. 

"No," you said. "No!" You started to thrash around. The guards lifted you off of your feet and walked you towards the doors. You twisted your body backwards to glimpse at Kylo. "Kylo - Ben!" 

He remained silent and composed, yet he was pained.

Your step uncle watched in amusement. "Ben. Ben Solo, son of the famous smuggler and war hero and the beloved princess and war general. A bit of scum to be added to our bloodline." He picked up Kylo Ren's lightsaber and admired it, turning it around in his hands. "So she does remember you. More than I thought she did. It seems the veil I put over her eyes wasn't strong enough." He looked at Kylo and shrugged. "Your Force bond is so strong. I will fix that, but I will take my time. If the Force bond is strong enough, it is said you can feel pain from one person to the next." He smiled evilly and jerked his thumb back towards the door. "Shall we test that, Commander Kylo Ren?"
