A Seam Within the Galaxy • Kylo Ren

Ch.10

Kaz leans in and kisses me forcibly in the doorway to her room, pulling my body closer into hers. I grasp onto her arms but she steadies herself, molding her lips onto mine as she parts my lips with her tongue and glides her way into my mouth. Her mouth suctions onto mine so violently that she begins to draw all the air from my lungs. I continuously slam my hands against her chest, eventually snaking my hands around her neck and squeezing as hard as I can. She is unphased, continuing to scoop the life out of me and transfer it to herself, lessening me as I feel myself become faint.

With no other options to me, I decided to clamp my teeth down onto the fleshy mass that was her tongue, biting as hard as I possibly could. I continue to do so, hearing her scream so shrill it almost deafens me completely, watching her eyes dart open as her fingernails dig into my skin. I continue to bite down, hard , not concluding despite her screeching. I only stop once I've noticed my top row of teeth pierce through the flesh and meet my bottom set. She finally unbinds herself from me as she stumbles onto the ground, I spit and wipe my mouth, coming to terms with how raw my mouth and lips felt. She seethes on the ground as I bolt down the hallway, still hearing her scream my name.

As I continue down the hall, her screams turn more sinister, into a deeper, darker voice I am not familiar with. I feel weak and innebreated, my body begging to shut down and sleep as I will my eyes to stay open. I am abruptly slammed against the wall, knocking me almost unconscious from impact. I look to see a man with two others wandering behind him, following their way closer to me. I throw a punch immediately but miss, my entire body plunging forward with the force of my punch.

One of the others grabbed me, reeling me into them and pinning my arms back. They scream and laugh like animals, no distinct human words coming from them that I am able to make out. Their sharp tongues lap up my skin, traveling up my neck, curving around my jawline and up the length of my cheek. I shudder and try to cry, but I find my voice is gone. I open my mouth as wide as I can, taking in a gulp of air and expanding my lungs to their fullest content. I go to scream, but I am silent. I feel tears roll down my cheek and the men lick my face clean, digging their fingers into my exposed skin once they have untucked my shirt.

I hear an audible, satisfied moan come from one by my right ear, and immediately after he leans closer and bites into my cheek. I attempt to scream, although there is silence, I push any and all amounts of air within my lungs and empty them completely, the pain unbearable. He pulls back, ripping flesh from the bone and chewing it with a smile on his face.

One that is kneeling from the floor licks up the length of my torso and bites down, forcing his head back to do the work as he tears a chunk of flesh from my side. I continue to try and scream, so sure of myself that I can accomplish it if I continue trying. Even though I can't hear myself, I can feel my vocal chords frying, as if my voice was being run completely dry.

I kick around as much as I'm able to, looking at the third man who is readying himself to take a bite out of my neck. I feel that familiar sense of warmth within me, stemming from my chest and reaching every inch of my body as it pulls me forward to him. Before the man takes another bite he freezes, as do the two at my sides. I feel them slowly release their grips on me as they shift away from me and are raised into the air. Their mouths drip with blood as I watch their eyes bulge from their sockets, clawing at their throats for a breath of air that has been taken away from them.

I place a hand over my mouth as their necks forcibly jut out, their heads twisting around their bodies with a very loud snap that echoes throughout the hallways. They fall limp on the floor, to reveal Commander Ren standing behind them, no mask in sight. As I tremble and shake in front of him he looks down at me with sympathy, coming even closer. He places a hand on my cheek, closing his eyes and focusing his might onto me.
