Open To the Truth ~ Kylo Ren FanFic

Chapter 4 - New

"Wake up!"

"Ugh. Whaaa.."

"Phoenix. Now!"

"Huh!? Agh!" Falling onto the cold tile, I shot my eyes open. All I could see was the floor. I slightly looked up towards the voice yelling at me and saw black boots, inches from my face.

"Get up." The voice was loud and caused me to shut my eyes tightly. I felt extremely uncomfortable. I could literally feel the sweat on every inch of my body. I was cold so it made it so much worse.

"Phoenix! Ugh." Suddenly I was being brought up to my feet. I opened my eyes and saw the body --that belonged to the shoes-- come into view. Kylo Ren. He had his mask on but the hood wasn't over top of it. He was the only one in the cell, other than myself. I tried to look behind me, to see if anyone else was around, but was stopped by the same force that was lifting my body.

"There." 

I was finally on my feet and I felt the Force let go. I stumbled a bit before catching myself.

"Why are you in here?" I reached my hands for my hair and realized they were drenched with sweat.

Ew.

I must look disgusting...

"You were screaming in your sleep and the stormtroopers didn't know how to handle it." He shot a glare (at least I think) to the stormtroopers, before directing his gaze back at me.

"I was screaming?" 

"Yes. It was extremely loud and disturbed everybody in the cells." 

"Oh..Um, I'm sorry?" I had no idea why I was screaming. Must have been a bad dream?

Suddenly, images shot through my brain, causing me to remember what I was dreaming about. I looked down at Kylo Ren and noticed his lightsaber, clipped to his belt. I staggered back, fear controlling me. He must have noticed my gaze or something because he lifted his cloak over it, covering the lightsaber.

"I'm not here to hurt you." He stood still, and tall, but kept his voice somewhat soft.

"I'm here because I talked to Supreme Leader Snoke, and I was told to start your training immediately."

This training thing kept popping up but I genuinely had no idea what was to happen, or even why it was happening. 

As if Kylo read my thoughts, he spoke.

"The training will be a long, hard process. It won't be easy. In fact, it will be quite draining. But it is essential to teach you the ways of the Force and The First Order."

The Force.

"How are you supposed to teach me the ways of 'the Force' if I don't even have it." I pulled my hands up to show quotations on the word 'Force."

"You do..." 

How can he be so sure?

"As I've told you, I felt it. It runs through your body. It's strong. Stronger than I've felt another being have in a long time." Kylo took a step towards me. Usually, I would have a strong urge to step back, but I stood my ground.

"I think you've got yourself wrong, buddy. I've never heard of this thing, but now all of a sudden, I have it? Come on." I couldn't help but chuckle. 

Regret.

All of a sudden, my lungs were unable to work, and I was gasping for breath. I tried to reach for my throat but was stopped by the stupid Force. I looked at Kylo with fear in my eyes. He took a few long strides until he was directly in front of me.
