- Chapter 1✨

"Do not wast your strength fighting me, scavenger."

Rey looked up at the hooded man who stood before her. She held her staff at the ready, her eyes narrowed.

"At least I'm not afraid to show my face!" She hissed.

He wasn't going to acknowledge such a juvenile taunt.

"I see you are nothing but a petulant child." He said pulling out his lightsaber.

"Do not imagine, that I will hesitate to strike you down, girl."

Rey's eyes went wide. What is that?! Something about the weapon warned her that he was serious. That this man, whoever or whatever he was, would kill her without a second thought.

"I don't know who or what you are, but if you come near me, I. Will. Kick. Your. Ass." She threatened.

He laughed. "What I am is a knight of Ren. Who I am is of no concern to you, little girl."

She sneered. "Is that supposed to impress me? Am I supposed to be afraid?" She taunted.

She was afraid, he could feel it. He lunged, she did her best to counter him, but he was just to damn fast!

She ended up with him on top of her, one hand on her throat, the other pointing that horrible weapon at her chest. She could see her staff, just out of reach.

"Don't be an idiot, had I wished, I could have killed you a dozen times by now." He hissed, feeling her intent.

He was grudgingly impressed with the girl. It was rare to find a force sensitive these days. The girl was raw, untrained, and yet she'd very nearly bested him. If he'd been even half a second slower, her staff would have connected with his neck. Needless to say, that would not have ended well for him.

How intriguing. He thought.

She glared up at him, as though she could see through his helmet. "What do you want with me?!" She asked gritting her teeth.

"I? I want nothing from you. It is the First Order that wants you." He said, in a mocking tone.

She wanted to slap him, to rip off that stupid helmet, and give him a bloody nose.

"If you wish to continue living, you will come quietly. If you resist further, or try to run, I will end you scavenger." He said, before pulling her up and spinning her around, her hands were suddenly bound behind her back.

There were tears of frustration in her eyes, but she wouldn't let them fall.

"It is unfortunate that one ever bothered training you in the Force, if they had, then you might have stood a chance." He said unable to resist a parting shot.
