Forgotten, But Not Lost

Chapter 43

Amar knew her place, she remained silent and with her sabers ready for another attack if need be. Kylo was still at a loss for words after he had called out the woman he knew back on Batuu as "Amar". It was the woman he had a been consumed with, that he ultimately felt some feelings for, but decided later, it was best to leave it alone. He knew what life he lived, there was no room for a lover or a family, which he remembered, didn't she have younglings?

Palpatine chuckled his evil cackle and looked at the both of them through his milky eyes.

"Isn't my granddaughter magnificent? Amar you may extinguish your sabers, he won't do any harm." Palpatine made a hand movement for Amar to stand off to his side and remain silent. Palpatine couldn't help but feel smug thinking about what turmoil he had caused these two love birds.

Kylo was immensely confused to say the least, he knew there was something about this girl, but the granddaughter to the Emperor? That was not something he would have guessed, but he kept getting surprise after surprise.

Amar stepped back into the shadows, but remained near enough to protect her grandfather if needed. The Emperor went on to tell Kylo Ren about how he had another granddaughter, one he was very much familiar with, Rey the scavenger. Deep down, Kylo knew this was no coincidence. He felt a connection to both of these decedents to Palpatine. Rey just happened to be a stronger connection, but there was still something about Amar that he couldn't put his finger on. Something just wasn't adding up, but also at the same time it was too much fortuity.

"Now that I have my granddaughter here on the dark side, I want you to take her with you. You can choose what to do with her, but kill Rey. If you do as I ask, you will be the new Emperor of the galaxy. Amar has a task given to her by myself, but after that she is all yours to do as you please." Palpatine demanded of Kylo.

Kylo felt the power behind being the Emperor of the galaxy, but in the back of his mind, there was more to this story. Why would he allow someone else to be in his stead? Why did he want to kill his own blood? Why kill Rey, but not Amar?

"Why do you want Rey dead and not Amar?" Kylo simply asked him.

"My boy, do you see her? She would never harm me, she is on a leash, she will obey me. She is not threat to me, besides she knows what is at risk if she doesn't comply. Rey is strong willed and is unaware of her family's lineage. Be my guest at giving her the good news and how her parents died, being weak." Palpatine smiled smug at Kylo.

Palpatine explained all about how he wanted his granddaughters delivered to him years ago, so he could train them in the ways of the dark side, but their parents had gotten in the way and hidden the younglings from him.

Kylo didn't know what to think, on one hand he felt guilty for thinking his family life was so awful. Amar and Rey had literally come from the evil path and now their life was being decided by a creepy old man, who was their grandfather. Palpatine had also claimed to be the overall voice inside his head as he grew up, it was never his grandfather or Snoke like he thought.

Kylo's skin crawled, he did not trust this man at all. He knew he didn't want to actually give the Sith throne to Kylo. It was another one of his games he was playing, like he did to the rest of the galaxy. What was he going to do with this woman? She would be a distraction for sure for Kylo, he still held those feelings of lust for her. She had been his escape from it all when he had visited her those two times. Now that she would be back where he was trying to escape from, he didn't know what he was going to do. To Kylo, she appeared to be in some kind of trance or incantation, she was not her normal self. If anything maybe if he got her out of Exegol, she could snap out of whatever this was.

The Emperor turned to his granddaughter and spoke in hushed tones to her.

"Child, go with the Supreme Leader and be my eyes and ears. Once you can, go to Batuu to acquire Vader's holocron, that I know you hid all those years. You will need that for later." Palpatine said to Amar as she walked to stand behind Kylo.

Amar obeyed her grandfather like she always would and now she would do the same to the Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. Amar remembered her past with Kylo Ren, but she knew it was only a fling, but one she very much enjoyed. Amar had lost a sense of her plans for Ben Solo, it wasn't erased, but merely put on the back burner. Amar only felt lust and anger, the dark side was creeping into her mind and quickly exhausting her. Amar would surely be overcome with the dark side if she remained under this incantation for a long period of time.

Kylo Ren knew what he needed to do in order to take down the Emperor, but the first thing was getting Amar out of this desolate place. Kylo knew he needed to try and persuade Rey to help him take down the Emperor, Amar wouldn't be able to under this trance, so he couldn't rely on her for help.

Kylo and Amar made their exit off of the planet of Exegol, Kylo told Amar to follow him with her own TIE fighter. Kylo was also curious to how Amar got a hold of a Silencer from his own line of ships? He chalked it up to the Emperor having it for her already here on the planet.

The two TIE's made it back to the Steadfast that sat still outside of Mustafar. Kylo and Amar were met with General Hux and Pryde as in any normal situation for the Supreme Leader. Amar made pace to get in line behind Kylo, she bore a black hood that slightly came over her face. Kylo met up with the General's and because he must have had such a busy schedule, he made them walk with him and fill him in and vice versa. Kylo told the General's about the Emperor and his plans. Hux seemed to be a little skittish about the news whereas Pryde was confident and proud. He had served the Emperor back when the Empire ruled the galaxy.

Kylo filled them in on who Amar was and General Hux went white. Amar lowered her hood and stared straight at Hux. She knew Hux recognized her, he was the one that escorted her to and from Snoke all those years ago. He kept his lips shut and so did she, it didn't matter anyway. Amar was here for her grandfather, not because of her lost mission to save Ben Solo.

The Generals made their leave and Amar continued to follow Kylo down to the personal chambers. Kylo arrived in front of a huge blast door and quickly turned around to face Amar.

"Since I was unaware of the company I was going to have, I do not have a chamber set up for you just yet. This is my quarters, you will stay here until I can acquire you another room." Kylo demanded of Amar.

He opened the blast door with his hand print and walked inside and Amar followed suit. The room was all white and bright like snow. This was not what Amar had envisioned a First Order living quarters would look like, I mean their main color was black. Amar stood there taking it all in, when Kylo approached her.

"Did you know?" Kylo asked Amar in a blunt and abrupt way.

Amar of course didn't exactly know what he was talking about, but something in the back of her mind told her to play dumb and flirt with the Supreme Leader. Amar walked around Kylo in a circle very slowly and answered him.

"I don't believe I know what you are talking about." Amar gave him a small smile and gracefully took off her cloak to unveil her very showy attire. The black suited her body and it hugged her hips in a way that made Kylo squirm below the belt.

Kylo grew a little weary with the change of her mood. He was not preparing for that, he was trying to gain answers, not be seduced. Something about her was hard to deny, he felt it, that pull to her like he always had on Batuu. Amar came closer to Kylo and on instinct, ran her hands under his tunic to feel his muscles, Kylo slowly closed his eyes. He had not felt human contact in a very long time, well since him and Rey touched through their force bond. Kylo did not want to think about her right now, instead he gave into his lust for Amar. Kylo forcefully grabbed Amar and hoisted her up, so she could wrap her legs around his waist. Kylo slammed Amar against the sterile wall of his quarters. His hand going to her neck to tighten ever so slightly. Out of the dominance Kylo was showing, Amar grabbed his hair with both of her hands and had fistfuls of it between her fingers. Kylo greedily kissed her over and over, until his knees started to give out. There was no turning back now, Amar was going to be his, and only his, for the rest of the night.
