She is surrounded by enemies in every possible direction. Rey wants to look at Kylo Ren’s face, but he’s wearing his mask. She wants to look some place for assurance, for comfort. But there is none to be found in the gleaming starship of the First Order.
Hux releases the soldiers from the formation with a loud “DISMISSED!” He talks with Phasma. Kylo Ren begins leading Rey out of the hangar. Rey glances back at Hux. He looks over at her and winks.
Rey couldn’t believe it. Couldn’t reconcile the side she just saw of Hux to the man she had slept with. She lived in terror, worried that Kylo Ren would find out.
Kylo Ren holds her hand as they walk down the corridor back to his room. “You’re so tense,” he says to her as they walk.
Rey nods. Kylo moves his hand up to her shoulders and squeezes reassuringly. Rey hadn’t seen Hux for about five days, since the night she slept with him.
In that time, Kylo Ren had been surprisingly kind to her. It had been jarring that morning to wake up and find him putting his helmet on. The mask that frightened her. The mask that was all hardness and steel, nothing like the soft and gentle face of the real Kylo Ren.
They enter Kylo Ren’s room. Kylo takes off the mask. Puts it down on the table.
He walks up behind Rey and wraps his arms around her. She closes her eyes, enjoying the warm, safe feeling he gives her. He holds her like that, cradling her, for several minutes.
You were scared, he says.
Rey is pulled from her warm place. The anxiety and nervousness return. She shakes slightly and stumbles over her words. “I’m not scared…”
Kylo Ren kisses the back of her neck. “You were terrified. Did Hux frighten you?” he asks innocently.
Rey’s pulse speeds up at the mention of Hux. She squeezes her eyes closed. She doesn’t want to answer. She wants to keep the peace between her and Kylo Ren.
It IS Hux, Kylo Ren laughs softly. “He is a fright. I don’t blame you for being scared.” Kylo turns her around so that she’s facing him. He kisses her forehead. He pulls back and frowns down at her. “There’s something else,” he says.
Rey’s heart beats hard in her chest. She shakes her head. Images of what happened between her and Hux begin popping up in her head.
What is it, Rey? You shouldn’t keep secrets from me.
Rey backs away toward the bed. “It’s nothing… it’s just been a stressful day and Hux’s speech wasn’t— wasn’t good—”
Kylo Ren follows her. He pushes her onto the bed and straddles her. He grabs her wrists and holds them against her chest. “What is it, Rey?”
Rey shakes her head violently. “It’s nothing! Nothing!”
Kylo holds her wrists with one hand and puts the other on her forehead. “It would be better for you to tell me.”
Tears stream down Rey’s face. Her cheeks turn bright pink and she cannot speak. Cannot speak of what she did with Hux. Images come unbidden to her mind… him pressing into her… kissing her… coming inside her…
Kylo Ren abruptly jumps off her. He looks unsettled. Smoothes his hair back. He turns away, looking anywhere but at Rey.
Rey cries. “Kylo, I’m sorry!”
You… you slept with him. You slept. With HIM. Kylo Ren paces around the room, disbelief in his voice.
Did he rape you?
No… she sobs, shaking her head.
So you went willingly? he asks in a low voice.
Rey nods, sobs wracking her body. Kylo screams in rage and lights up his saber.
Rey trembles in fear as Kylo approaches her with his fiery sword. He holds the light saber against her neck. “Then you’ve just saved HIS life.” He shuts the red blade off.
He walks away, then turns around and POINTS at her. “You think I’m a fool.”
Rey shakes her head, tears streaming down her face. She walks over to him and gets to her knees, holding her hands in front of her apologetically. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”
Kylo shakes his head coldly and backs away from her. He picks up his helmet and leaves the room. Rey is left alone, crying.
She barely sees him at all for the next few days. Rey jumps every time someone comes through the door. But each time, it’s just a droid bringing food. Which she eats alone.
Rey doesn’t know if this is a good thing or bad. Doesn’t know what’s to come. It is a lonely and tense few days. Kylo Ren pops in occasionally and ignores her when she tries to talk to him.
He doesn’t sleep there. Rey wonders where he is sleeping? She finds the answer one day when he enters with a female stormtrooper.
They’re both fully dressed in their armor, but they both have their helmets off.
Just gotta get a jacket… Kylo tells the stormtrooper.
The stormtrooper notices Rey and looks Rey up and down, disdain clear in her expression. Kylo doesn’t even look at Rey once or acknowledge her in any way. Rey just sits on the bed, arms wrapped around her knees, and watches. Terror gnawing at her belly.
Kylo gets what he needs from the closet. Walks back to the door and kisses the female stormtrooper on the lips. They put their arms around each other and leave. When the door closes, Rey begins sobbing hysterically.
Rey doesn’t know how to feel about it. He was sleeping with a stormtrooper? Who was she? Why?
The next time the droids bring in food, Rey throws the dishes at the door. She kicks and punches the door, struggling to open it. It’s steel. It doesn’t budge. She turns around, FURIOUS. She wants to destroy the room. She paces around violently.
Then she stops. Worried. Was she becoming like Kylo Ren? Exploding into fits of rage… just like him. Rey shakes her head. This isn’t the Jedi way, she thinks. She takes a deep breath and sits down in the middle of the floor.
She’s angry, scared, frustrated. She breathes deeply— let the emotions pass through her. Don’t turn to the dark side, she tells herself. If she turns to the dark side, Kylo Ren wins. The First Order wins. Snoke wins.
SCENE 1
Don’t resist me. If you relax, it won’t hurt so much. Kylo Ren’s voice is the only thing she hears.
Rey’s arms are pulled behind her back and suspended from the ceiling. She’s naked, bent over at the waist, gagged, and blindfolded. She can’t see, or ask for help, or beg for him to stop.
She struggles against him, but his strong hands on her waist hold her in place.
I love it when you struggle… He smacks her lightly and then massages her butt cheeks, pulling them apart.
Rey wants to scream at him. No! Why are you doing this? She cries in her head. Only desperate moans make it through the gag in her mouth.
Kylo Ren tried to stay away from her. He really didn’t want to hurt her… Or he thought he didn’t. Because he DID. Nothing he did the past few days consoled his anger, his RAGE at her betrayal.
But now they were approaching Moraband and things would have to change. She had been startled when they got up that morning and he ordered her to her knees. He was deeply disappointed that she didn’t obey immediately. As if they hadn’t gone over this so many times. She put up a resistance and now he had to break it.
Rey pulls away in surprise as Kylo Ren gently touches the delicate orifice between her butt cheeks. He smacks her and holds her in place, continuing. Pulling her cheeks apart and gently inserting an oiled up finger.
