Open To the Truth ~ Kylo Ren FanFic

Chapter 3 - Scared

Apprentice?

Was he serious?

I wasn't sure if I should allow him to practically take me under his wing, and teach me the ways of the Force, or beg for my once-loved freedom?

I stared at his mysterious eyes while fighting the battle of thoughts in my head. I must have looked pretty stupid because Kylo's eyebrow was cocked up ever so slightly higher than the other one.

"You have no choice. I have decided your fate. And if you decide to go against it... Let's just say things won't be in your favour."

I tried hard to listen to the words coming out of his mouth, but I was only able to hear the sound. His voice was beautifully husky, leaving me speechless.

What was I thinking??

I shook my head as if I was shaking the thoughts out of my brain.

Kylo must've gotten bored of my lack of speech. He grabbed his helmet and placed it back on his head. I suddenly felt a desire to hear his voice again.

"The stormtroopers will come to take you back to your cell. If you decide to listen to my commands, then a room specifically made for you will be created." He turned to leave towards the door.

A room?

Specifically, made for me...?

"Why did you take me?" I couldn't stop myself from speaking. But I really was curious. I knew he said he 'felt my presence' and said that I had 'the Force' in me. But why did he take me?

He turned back, just enough so I could see the side of his helmet over his shoulder.

"I think you could be a helpful asset to the First Order."

Oh... So I was being used just for his stupid army.

"I also think you could be extremely strong by my side." These words left his mouth in a whisper. 

Before I could respond, he had left out the door.

By his side?

What did he mean?

Before I could sit with my thoughts, the white-masked men came through the doors.

I'm guessing those were 'stormtroopers'.

They started to undo my restraints but kept a firm grasp on my forearms. I had an urge to fight against them, but I decided not to.

I wasn't in the mood to go unconscious yet again.

The stormtroopers walked me out of the room and into a long hallway that looked endless. The walls and floors were all dark grey. I finally had time to look at where I was. There weren't any windows, but from my earlier memories, I had a feeling that we were on a ship.

"Where are we going?" I looked at the stormtrooper on my right, who was looking straight ahead.

"We're taking you back to your cell miss." He didn't even look at me while he spoke.

"How long will I have to stay there?" I tried to be confident with my words, but they only came out strained and nervous.

"Until you make your decision." At first, I wasn't sure about what he was talking about, but then came to the realization that I was given a proposition by Kylo Ren himself.

Well... I wasn't really given any choice. He practically told me to listen to his commands or face the consequences. I genuinely didn't know what to pick. Obviously, I didn't want to suffer his punishment, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to give my freedom up that was stolen from me.
