Open To the Truth ~ Kylo Ren FanFic

Chapter 7 - Touch

(The song above is sort of for the training room scene)

It wasn't long until we were in the training area. I was staggering behind Kylo who was walking unbelievable fast. I guess that's what happens when you have long-ass legs?

"I'll be a minute, you can start on weights while I'm gone." Kylo continued to walk down the hallway and left me stranded in front of the training room. I watched him put his helmet back on as he disappeared around the corner.

Okay then?

I pressed the button, and the doors flew open. The room was silent and cold as usual. I entered, and as the door shut behind me, it made a loud noise, causing me to jump.

Oh my god. Did I seriously jump at that? What am I? Two?

As I mentally laughed at myself, my eye caught the weights in the corner of the room. Not wanting to disobey Kylo, I walked over to them and started with the dumbells. I decided to stand instead of sitting on the bench. 

What felt like two years later, (but really ended up being thirty minutes) went past, I decided to take a break. I was sweating like crazy, and could barely breathe.

Dude, I am so out of shape! 

I flopped onto the floor, to try and catch my breath. While I sat there, I really looked at my surroundings and noticed that there was a lot more in here than I thought. Nothing I've used yet, but I was sure I would eventually. As I continued to look around, I saw a stand holding objects that looked like lightsabers. 

Are they..?

Since Kylo didn't seem to show anytime soon, I took a risk and walked over to the stand. I looked one last time at the door before picking one up. It had a silver metal base and it glistening in the dim light. 

This is... Beautiful...

I saw a button in the middle of the metal, and sub-consciously knew what it was. I tilted the head of the metal away from me and hit the button. The metal jolted in my hand, and a wood looking stick came out of the metal.

This isn't a lightsaber...?

I swung it to my side and realized that it was a practice lightsaber.

Lame.

I felt an urge to play around with it for a while. It was fake after all, so Kylo couldn't get too mad. Right? I walked to the middle of the room and swung it around for a bit, trying to get a feel for the saber in my hand. Once I got used to the weight, I was able to swing it in circles around my body.

I probably look great right now. 

I started changing my stance, and moving around a bit, re-enacting a saber fight.

"Hello, Phoenix." 

"AGH!" I turned around and saw Kylo looming over me. Without thought, I threw the lightsaber across the room and took a step back. My heart was racing, and my lungs were collapsing. I didn't even hear him come in!

"Having fun?" His mask was still on, so the robot sounding voice was back, sending chills to my spine.

"Uh... I... It... I'm sorry Commander." I looked down at my feet. I knew I shouldn't have touched anything.

"I said to start on the weights." I could slightly see his feet, and they seemed to have taken a step closer to me.

"I- I did. For a bit... I just wasn't sure when you'd be back." All of a sudden, I felt the force grab my chin and lift it up to look at Kylo.
