Once I had calmed down and my tears had stopped falling, I pulled away from Hux and wiped my face with my hands.

"I wish I could tell you everything's going to be okay, but I don't believe that anymore. No matter what happens I just want you to know you're not alone in this...you and FN-2187 are the only friends I've ever had and I'll be here for you, Ben," Hux said looking me in the eyes.

"Thanks," I replied looking back at him, I could see the hurt behind his eyes, like he was reliving the pain all over again. It was good to have a friend that I knew I could count on, to be there and to understand what it's like, that no matter what happens we would some how make it.

I looked around Snoke stood by a table where a man stood with the children the stormtroopers had collected.

"What's going on over there?" I asked, gesturing in the direction Snoke stood.

"Snoke is just looking over the children who will be his new stormtroopers," Hux said.

I nodded my head slowly looking at the creature standing beside the table.
Why was he so nice to me about my mom's death? I don't know what to think anymore the way he said it with sympathy. It either made me like him or hate him a little more, but I can't decide which.

Me and Hux had to rejoin the other stormtroopers while Snoke did what ever it was that he was doing.

"I'm afraid this isn't all the children in the city," Snoke said.

Me and Hux looked over at each other, we both knew that we had let the people have some slack.

"Bring them to me" Snoke snarled.

How could he possibly know that some children are missing? How could he possibly know? That question kept running through my mind over and over again.

Some of the stormtroopers brought three children to Snoke.

"Do you think I would not have noticed?" Snoke asked rather or not he pointed the question at the people or at his stormtroopers I didn't know.

I looked over the people, there were three children all of them looked younger than fifteen.

But then my eyes landed on the lady that me and Hux had left. How did he find out? How could he possibly have known?

"I do not tolerate disobedience among the people," Snoke said looking them over. They were silent, they looked so afraid, I couldn't blame them how could they not? This is all my fault, I have no idea what Snoke is going to do to them but it can't be good, in no way could it be good, and it's all my fault.

Snoke walked back and forth in front of the children.

"Take these children to the base," Snoke said looking at the stormtroopers standing behind him.

Me and Hux looked at each other horrified, so that's why there were so many new faces, Snoke had taken them, from their homes and families not even giving them a choice.

The stormtrooper carried the children away back towards the first order base. They were crying and screaming desperately trying to reach for the lady who I assume must be there mother, the scene broke my heart.
