IV
"Lark we need to get you out of here!" Poe yelled over the sirens and commotion of other fighters.
"Poe stop! Stop!" He just continued, dragging me behind him.
I tried to get him to let go but his grip on my arm was too strong. My heart was racing, he can't know about my mission. I tugged hard on his arm with my free hand, he stopped in his tracks.
"What are you doing?" He barked.
"They found me Poe, don't you see that. No matter where I run they will find me. It's no use." I sighed, knowing that he would believe my lies.
He grabbed my arm once more, "Just come with me, please."
I hesitated but let him lead me into an empty room.
"Lark, whatever happens today I love you, and always will. You mean so much more to me than you think. You ease the aching in my heart, you mended my broken heart and I could never ever repay you."
Tears began to fall in streams down my face, "You Poe, made me feel welcome here. Ever since the crash you made sure I was comfortable and had whatever I needed whenever I needed it. You showed me compassion after I was trapped in the First Order. Without you I don't know where I'd be. I love you, don't forget me if anything happens."
Without saying a word he pulled me close to him and led my lips to his. I could feel his tears mixing with mine, creating pools of sorrow on our cheeks. Both of us knew in the back of our mind this would be our last kiss, if not for now, for forever.
We pulled apart and I instantly wrapped my arms around his torso and he did the same, trying to remember how each other's embrace felt.
"We need to go." Poe whispers in my ear.
I nod and we run out into the forest. Ships flew overhead, firing their lasers and knocking down enemy ships. I tried my best not to get distracted but the noises were overwhelming. However I felt something, something I hadn't felt since the day I was relieved of being a trooper. That same force from the opposite side of the ship was now close, almost as if it was right behind us.
"Poe wait!"
It was too late. His body was thrown aside and I was frozen in place. Confused as to what was holding me , I tried to struggle but I couldn't seem to break free. A dark figure emerged from the trees, black mask with silver accents and a long cloak.
"Lark, it's time." The voice was mechanical, but also a male's.
I muster up enough strength to shake my head, "I'm not going anywhere with you."
I fell to the ground after a blaster within feet of me was shot. Kylo Ren reached to his side and ignited his lightsaber. The red beam crackled, heat radiating off its blade.
This was just like my dream.
"Wait!" I shouted, standing to my feet with my arms outstretched.
I face Kylo, "If I go with, he is free to go unharmed."
"Don't let your feelings get the best of you." His voice sounded like it cracked a bit.
My stance never shifted, "I won't say it again. If I go with you, he leaves unharmed."
"If you don't come now he is dead." Ren spoke, turning away.
I look at Poe who is watching me intently, "I'm sorry Poe, I can't let you die."
He looks at me with sadness and understanding, "I'll wait forever if I have to, if it means I get you back, I'll do it."
My eyes fill with tears and I blow him a kiss and follow Kylo back to his ship.
The ride back to the First Order base was terrifying. It had been ten months, my mission was originally planned for one. Did they do this on purpose?
"Not exactly on purpose."
I faced Ren, "What."
The black eyes of his mask stared back, "We needed to make sure they trusted you, but then Skywalker told you about your ways with the force. We needed to wait until you were ready."
My hand brushes my lightsaber hilt, "But that's where you're wrong."
"How so?"
Anger bubbled inside me, "How so? How so? I was happy. I had someone who loved me and cared about me. But no, you just had to take that away from me because I was getting too powerful. That if I continued to train with Luke that I would be stronger than you, that I'd win."
I knew I went to far, but before I could even speak I was in the air clutching my throat.
"You will never talk back to me again Lark. I don't care that you are strong with the force, you are just as disposal as the troopers. You were relieved of your duties as a stormtrooper to serve the First Order, not to betray us and live happily with the Resistance." Kylo scolded, his anger very noticeable.
My body fell to the floor of the ship and I was gasping for breath. I laid on my back and stared at the ceiling, remembering the exercises I would do with Luke to bring my mind back. After 5 minutes I could breath somewhat normally, but I didn't stand up. Instead and scooted towards the wall and brought my knees up and buried my face. I didn't move for the rest of the ride, in fear of being killed by Kylo Ren.
