Open To the Truth ~ Kylo Ren FanFic

Chapter 6 - Some Trust

I woke up to the sounds of footsteps outside my door. They weren't directly at my door. Just walking past. I looked down and realized I was tangled in my sheets.

I must have slept well?

I sat up and tore the sheets from my legs, throwing them beside me. I realized that I had a fairly large bed. Much bigger than the one at home.

Home...

That wasn't my home anymore...

I shook my head as if I was shaking the thoughts from my head. I didn't want to cry this morning. I looked around and noticed how empty my room was. My bed was in the middle of the room, with a black sheet, and a black blanket. There was a dresser to my left, that had a dim, metal-looking lamp on top. Curious, I stood up and walked to the dresser. I opened up the top drawer and saw a few articles of clothing, nicely folded. I took a piece out and unfolded it in front of myself, taking in the details. I pulled out a shirt and noticed that it too, was all black. It was long-sleeved, and I could tell that it would cling onto my body. There was a First Order symbol on the arm, in the colour white.

Wow, what a nice touch.

I rolled my eyes and put it on top of the dresser for later. I then opened another drawer and saw a few things of pants. They all looked like cargo pants or skin-tight pants. Of course, all in black. I reached for one of the slightly baggy cargo pants and placed that on the dresser as well. I shut all the drawers and started to strip from the clothes I had been sleeping in. Suddenly, my door opened.

"Phoenix? Are you awake?" I noticed the voice right away.

"Aries?" I quickly grabbed the black shirt and slipped into it. The shirt stopped just before my belly button, exposing my stomach.

Skintight.

"Phoenix!" Aries came into the room but stopped in her place when she saw I was only in my underwear and a shirt.

"I'm sorry!" She turned around and faced the door. I chuckled and slid the cargo pants on. Along with some black combat boots, that happened to be by the dresser.

"You can look now." Aries slowly turned, until she saw me from the corner of her mask. When she saw that I was fully dressed, she turned quickly.

"You look good!" I looked down at my outfit and realized that yeah, I did look good. My long brown hair hung low, just past my rib cage.

This is gonna be a pain.

I looked around for something to hold my hair up. I then noticed a separate door, off to the right side of my bed.

"Give me a sec." I looked at Aries quickly before turning to the door, hoping it was a bathroom. And indeed, it was. Sadly, it was very plain and looked like it held nothing inside of it except the toilet, shower/bath and the sink. The counter didn't even have drawers. I sighed and looked towards a towel that was hanging on the wall by a metal bar. Without thinking, I grabbed it and ripped a thread with my teeth. Don't ask how it came apart so easily. I didn't know the answer to that one. I then looked towards the oval-shaped mirror and grabbed the top half of my hair, leaving the back strands hanging.

Typically I would put it all up, but I wasn't sure if this thread would hold. I put the top sectioned part of my hair into a bun and laced the thread around it. I tied it and looked at myself.

Not bad.

I left the bathroom and looked for Aries, who was placing a tray of food on my dresser. I must have startled her because when she heard me walk near, she stood up straight and gripped her blaster.
