The Last Jedi fan-fiction (Name under construction)

Chapter Ten.

Raia's Point of View.

Several days went by before she had any interaction with anyone. Not the Stormtroopers, not General Hux. Not even Kylo Ren came to her cell. She didn't know what was worse. The constant interrogations or silence in a solitary cell.

There was good thing about being left alone for several days. She was able to recover from the torture and interrogations that she had to endure in the days previous. Her eyes closed as she leant her head back and she thought about what had happened to her. She was surprised that she hadn't broken and begun talking when Snoke had begun his invasion of her mind with everything else that had happened to her prior to her meeting with him. Her mind and body were both exhausted and she had wanted nothing more than for it to end so that she could be left alone.

But it hadn't. It had continued for what felt like hours and was probably only a matter of minutes. She had been grateful for the interruption that Kylo had given but was fearful at the same time. She hadn't known if it was a ploy by the trio in the room with her to get her to drop her guard and then get the information out of her.

Her eyes opened as she heard the sound of footsteps on the other side of her cell door and she looked towards it to find out who was there when it opened. Her eyes narrowed slightly when she saw a masked Kylo Ren standing in the doorway and she sighed, closing her eyes again before she looked away from him as he stepped into the room and the door shut behind him, the audible click of the lock sounding as it closed.

"Now what?" she asked in a tired voice as she heard him walking closer and she flinched as she felt a hand touch her forehead.

"How are you feeling?" she heard him ask and she frowned before opening her eyes and turning her head to look at him.

"Why do you want to know? You haven't come in here for several days and that's the first thing you ask?" she asked him with a scowl before she looked away from him once more, shaking her head as she did. "How I feel is none of your concern, Kylo Ren," she snapped as she did her best to ignore him as she felt him move closer and she stiffened.

"How you feel is of concern to me. Or have you forgotten what we discussed the last time I was in here?" he asked her and she blinked before she glanced towards him briefly, only to look away just as quickly when she saw how close he was.

She swallowed heavily as she heard the sounds of hissing and a sudden thud as she assumed he removed his helmet and placed it down on its stand before she sucked in a breath as she felt his own breath on her cheek. She flinched as she felt his gloved fingers brush some of her hair away from her face before she blinked several times and looked at him as she heard him sigh.

"What is it?" she asked him as he moved back from her slightly, swallowing heavily as he sighed and looked at her carefully.

"Nothing..." he began to say and she scoffed at him.

"You're lying," she said through clenched teeth and she saw him scowl at being seen through.

"How is it that you can tell when I lie, but when you lie I can't even tell?" he asked her and she gave a roll of her eyes before responding.

"Believe it or not, Kylo, but without your mask, your face is an open book," she said to him as she shook her head and looked up at the ceiling once more.

"It is not," he said and she flinched as she felt just how angry that statement had made him. She clenched a hand as her lungs tightened and she let out a gasp before she took in several deep breaths to keep herself calm.
