Breathe.

[The single word entered into Rey's mind. She was sitting down of the floor of her cell, trying to listen to the Force itself on what her next move would be. Or at least, she was hoping that's how this was done. The woman had no training on the ways of the Force, or what it meant to be a Jedi. Who knows if she would receive training. The fight she had with Kylo Ren was instinctual. She knew how to fight with a staff, but not with a Lightsaber. The last thing she remembered was the Falcon coming to her and Finn. She gave her friend over to Chewy, but then her world went black.

The brunette woke up to a cold steel cell with no other guards. Apparently the First Order learned not to have anyone near her.

She didn't know what was going to happen to her. How many days it had been since Star Killer Base fell, or where she was. Her stomach growled, reminding her to eat, but there was nothing around her. All she could do was think. Think, contemplate and figure out a way to get out. Surely, sooner or later someone would come to her. Someone would either bring her food or bring her to a high officer and try to torture her. Once they did, she could try that trick again and try to sneak off the ship.

Hopefully Finn was okay and safe with the Resistance.]

Comments

[Kylo Ren knew better than to let just anyone around the girl. He wasn't far from the cell where he'd had her placed, leaning against a wall and just studying her through the Force. She was strong, that much he could tell, had been able to tell from the moment he met her. She was weak right then though, weak and scared, very unsure. He smirked to himself because he knew what she was doing, knew that she was trying to figure out what to do next. She was starving, she was exhausted...she wasn't breathing. She was focusing so hard on the Force that she has stopped breathing.]

Breathe.

[He pushed the thought at her before standing suddenly. A guard was approaching with food and he took the tray, looking down at it before turning to walk to her cell. He opened the door, ready for her should she try anything, though he had a feeling she wouldn't.]

[talentedscavenger]

[The notion to breathe, to bring oxygen into her lungs and then release it and repeat it wasn't a hard one to grasp. Yet, in the middle of trying to get her barrings, hoping that Finn was okay, and trying to figure out what her next move should be, she forgot just that. She drew in one breath, taking it in deep to fill her lungs and slowly released it. A thought entered her mind and she swore she heard Kylo Ren's voice attached to it. A shudder ran through her body as anger flared in her heart.

He was alive. He was here, and monitoring her.]

Get. Out.

[The thought was screamed in her mind before her mental walls came up. He didn't need to be near her, nor did she want anything to do with him. Not after he killed Han, not after he threw away his father. She wanted to yell at him, scream, but it wouldn't do her any good. Her energy would be better spent trying to plan her escape.

She took in a another deep breath, opening her eyes when she heard someone come in. A guard was approaching her cell with a tray of food. Though she wanted to escape, her stomach quickly reminded her to reorganize her priorities. She wouldn't get far if she didn't have anything in her body.

Rey didn't do anything to the guard, letting him place her food through the small opening in the cell. The idea that the food could be poisoned crossed her mind, but she had to take a chance. Taking her food from the opening, she sat it down on the floor. She couldn't escape...but she could gather some information. Focusing her attention on the guard, she began to tap into the Force.]

You will tell me where I and where we are going.

[nolongerbensolo]

Guard, leave now.

[It was said with much more force than any she could exert over him. Kylo Ren stepped into her view, pulling his mask off and setting it to the side, his eyes locking with hers.]

If you honestly think I would allow any guards near you without monitoring the interaction myself...well it just won't happen.

[He watched her for a long moment, tilting his head.] You are strong. Powerful...but you need disciple. You need to be taught.

[talentedscavenger]

[The guard as he was instructed leaving behind an upset Rey in the presence of her least favorite person. She wanted to hate him, but it wasn't worth her energy. Rather, her gaze turned cold, moving to sit on the floor to grab some of the bread on her tray. He would not get under her skin, he wouldn't get a rise out of her.]

By who? You?

[She let out a light scoff, breaking eye contact from him and taking a bite of her food.]

No. The answer will always be no, Ben.

[nolongerbensolo]

[He continued to watch her, tilting his head before raising an eyebrow slowly.]

Do you think that using the name I was born with will cause me to anger? Or get any reaction out of me?

[He shrugged, taking a breath before slowly pushing his fingers through his hair.]

My father knew what he was doing. He knew what was going to happen as well.

[talentedscavenger]

Apparently it has. You felt the need to comment on it.

[ She told him nonchalantly, takin another bite then swallowing it. Her stomach was starting to quiet down. ]

Han also had hope that you'd do the right. He wanted his family and you... [ She shook her head at him. ] You would rather cling to a ghost instead.

[nolongerbensolo]

You know nothing about me.

[He shrugged again before turning.]

I have made it clear to the guards that no one is to see you except me. You will have no chance for escape here.

[talentedscavenger]

You thought that the last time too. [ Is she a bit smug there? A tiny bit but he made more mistakes when he was riked up. ]

I will find a way out or the Resistance will come for me.

[nolongerbensolo]

I wasn't prepared for you the last time. I thought you were just some silly girl...not a Force user.

[It was the truth and he tilted his head.]

I know I made a mistake underestimating you the last time.

[He contemplated what she said.]

Maybe they will, but finding you will be no easy task for them. I've seen to that.

[talentedscavenger]

Either way, I'm not staying here. You cannot keep me here.

[She would find a way out, it wasn't a matter of how but when. He couldn't watch her all day. Sooner or later he would slip up. Sooner or later, she would find the perfect moment to leave her cell, find a ship and leave.]

[nolongerbensolo]

We will see, Rey.

[He took the tray from her since she had taken her food, grasping it once it was within reach. Then he turned and walked away.]

[talentedscavenger]

[Rey didn't say anything after that. She couldn't go anywhere, but she found herself continuing to think about what she could do. The sooner she got out of here the better. Any possible escape would be met with Kylo Ren blocking her...she couldn't convince him, and he wouldn't open her cell unless he was going to take her somewhere...

But there were too many variables to work out. Assuming he would take her out, even for a moment.

The brunette found herself seated with her legs crossed again, sitting in silence and trying to listen or tap into the Force itself.]

[nolongerbensolo]

[Oh he could feel her trying to tap into the Force. She was powerful enough that he could have felt her anywhere on the ship and he just focused on her ability.

Subtly he scanned her surface thoughts, just carefully picking through where even she couldn't tell he was doing it. It was easy to manipulate that way as well, but he would wait until she was asleep or unaware. If he tried right then, she would know what he was up to.]

[talentedscavenger]

[It would hours until found herself dozing off and drifting to sleep. She tried listening to the Force prior but nothing came. There was nothing around her that she could use as a weapon, nothing she could create with. They were wise to remove anything from the cell that could be used as an advantage to her.

Now, she was dreaming of the same island he saw earlier. Her on the beach, waiting at the shoreline for something, anything.]
