My Sweet, My Dear, My Rey

Chapter Twelve

A month has passed since The First Order won the war. In that time, Kylo began to teach Rey some basics in the Force. He taught her how to feel other presences near her, how to tell if it was him or not, a bit on how to read minds (but never his own), and how to lift small objects.

When Kylo was away at meetings and planning his new Empire, Rey learned how to fly ships. She was a natural at it, too. Rey even found she had a passion for mechanics and she loved to fix broken droids.

One day, Rey was watching a movie while Kylo finished a few things, and she watched a scene where a person had to escape his enemies by an escape pod. This reminded Rey of when Kylo hit her and how she had wanted to run away then. Rey remembered that Kylo was very cruel if something didn't go his way and he could hurt or kill her.

Rey could fly almost anything even at nine years old and she made herself promise that if Kylo hit her again or made her feel unsafe, she would take an escape pod and go to the Outer Rim and live with the Resistance. Rey fell asleep with those thoughts.

Time Skip: Four Months

Rey was playing in her garden with her dolls. She was making them all necklaces out of flowers. She had made a flower crown and was saving it just for Kylo.

Kylo came into her garden after some of his meetings and Rey hid from him behind a tree. Kylo could sense where she was but knew that she wanted to surprise him. Kylo smiled and took off his helmet and set it on a nearby bench.

"Rey? Where are you my sweet?", he called out, walking passed the tree she was hiding behind. Rey jumped out of her hiding spot and hugged him from behind. "Benny, look what I made you!", she said, showing him the flower crown she made him.

"How nice. I love it, Rey. And you.", he said. Rey giggled. Kylo kneeled down in front of her and bowed his head so that she could put it on him. "Looks good.", Rey told him once the flower crown was on his head.

They sat underneath the biggest tree in the middle and chatted about their day and how the new Empire was coming along. "Just think Rey, we will rule the entire galaxy and we can do what ever we want.", Kylo said. "Like staying up late?", Rey asked. Kylo laughed, "yes, Rey, like staying up late, but even more and even better things too.". "Ben am I going to be a princess? Like in those fairy tale books you used to read me?", Rey asked. "No, you are going to be something far more wonderful than a princess. You, my love, are going to be my Empress. The Empress of the entire galaxy.", Kylo said.

Rey thought about this for a moment and stopped playing with the doll she was holding. "Hmm... Empress Rey. I like it. It's sounds cool and pretty.", Rey said to herself. "It is isn't it?", Kylo agreed. They sat together in silence for a few more moments. "Ben? What is the Resistance doing? Are they ok?", Rey asked.
Kylo growled, "you still care about those traitors, liars, murderers, and thieves? I could care less about their wellbeing.".
"Why do you hate them so much?"
"I have several reasons why! For one, they try to take you away from me! AND YOU BELONG TO ME AND YOU ARE MINE!"

That was when everything finally clicked for Rey. He was not only dangerous and cruel, but overly possessive and obsessive. He would kill for her. He did kill for her. Rey got up and started backing away from him.

Kylo knew from a quick dip into her thoughts that she understood everything about him. He got up and walked towards her saying, "I'm doing all of this for you, Rey! For us! I do this because I love you and want to give you a comfortable life!". "No! This isn't love! This is sick, Ben! And I hate it! I want to go back to the Resistance! They didn't kill people just to own me like a pet, they killed people to protect me from monsters like you!", Rey snapped back.

Kylo was getting angrier by the second. He just wanted Rey to understand why he acted like this! It was love. A dangerous love. Maybe Rey just needed a reminder of his love for her...

Kylo picked her up and she screamed, " put me down! I don't want you picking me up anymore!". Kylo tried hugging her and even kissing her cheek, but Rey just struggled and screamed. "Get away from me!", she yelled. Rey kicked him in the groin, which Kylo had told her to do if any guy tried to touch her.

Kylo hissed in pain and dropped Rey. Rey backed away from him and screamed, "I hate you!", at him before turning and running out of her garden, her doll still in hand.

Rey ran through the ship with tears in her eyes, ignoring the stares of the officers and troopers as she went towards the escape pods. Rey ran into the Knights, who were doing their rounds. "Rey? What's wrong?", Trudgen asked her. The Knights were protective of Rey like she was a little sister. "Kylo's what's wrong! I don't want to be here!", Rey said.

"I'm sure it's fine. Here, we'll go find him and you can talk it out with him.", Cardo said, holding out a hand for her to take. The Knights knew how important Rey was to their leader. "No! I just want to be alone!", Rey explained. "Alright, we'll go tell Kylo that you want some alone time and that you will be back in your quarters before tonight, ok?", Vicrul asked. "Yeah, you can tell him that.", Rey said, running off to the escape pods. The knights left to inform Kylo about Rey, without any thought that she could be escaping.

Rey creeped around the area where the escape pods were and snuck into one when no one was looking. Rey buckled her doll into a seat and then sat herself in the pilots seat she remembered the coordinates for the Outer Rim from a holo she read that had all of the coordinates of planets. She typed them in and she shot out of the ship and towards the Outer Rim.

Rey remembered that whenever Kylo taught her about using the Force, he took off her necklace. This made Rey realize that it must be a Force repressing collar, and knowing Kylo, it must be a tracker as well. Rey needed to get it off as soon as possible before Kylo found her again. Something gave Rey a feeling that she would be punished for leaving him now that she had done it herself...

A few hours later and back on the Finalizer...

"Where could she be?! It's been too long!", Kylo said to his Knights as he paced along the main deck. "Sir, she told us that she would be back before tonight.", Vicrul explained. "Yes, maybe she just fell asleep somewhere. We can track her.", Ap'lek suggested.

Kylo went over to the computer that showed Rey's location and vitals. But there was a problem: the screen just showed an ERROR and the rest was blank. "Lock down the ship until we find her!", Kylo barked to his officers, who got to work right away. They never found her on the ship.

Rey on the escape pod

Some kind of debris in space had hit Rey's escape pod and had sent her flying towards a nearby planet. The escape pod landed there, and Rey was fine except for some scraps and bruises. Her doll was fine. The tracker necklace had gotten caught on something and had been torn from her neck and then crushed underneath some debris.

Rey took her doll and walked out of her ruined escape pod. Rey was on a desert planet and it was very hot. Rey spotted a sort of caravan coming near her and an alien asked her, "Little girl, who are you and what are you doing here all by yourself?". Rey told them, "I'm Rey. There was some monster after me and I escaped him. Where am I?". One of the aliens said, "The desert planet Pasaana. Come with us, you can stay and work with us.". Rey liked that idea so she followed them.
