Say Something

A/N: I am going to try and update as much as possible. Try being the key word.

Adiara's eyes flew open and she jumped up, looking at the area around her. She was standing in the middle of a lighted circle that had a lighted path behind her and red lights around the wall. She spun around slowly trying to take in everything about her. When she finally reached back to the front that is when she saw him.

"Hello Adiara," Snoke's hologram said from his throne.

"You actually consider yourself so high and mighty that you sit on your own throne?" she said smugly.

"I would watch your tone if I were you. I have I not already taught you that I can hurt you from anywhere?" Snoke asked.

"Where am I?" Adiara asked.

"Physically? I am sure you are in the medical bay of the Resistance base. Mentally? You are in a sort of a dream that resembles my chamber on Starkiller base. What happens is up to you."

"So, if I close my eyes and count to ten, you will be gone?"

"No. I am in control of this "dream" so to speak. I wished to talk to you face to face."

"Nothing you could say to me would make me switch allegiance. I have no family for you to threaten; and you do not know where the base is. You have nothing to hold over me."

"Is that a fact? What about Mr. Dameron?"

"We both knew the risks when we vowed allegiance to the Resistance," she said lying through her teeth. If she were to lose Poe, she would be beside herself in grief and have no one left to turn to.

"You cannot lie to me!" Snoke yelled.

"Let me try to speak to her," a mechanical voice came from behind her.

"Kylo Ren, I see you decided to join me after all. After all you failed to find this one and destroy her before she could join the resistance. As you wish, if you do not convince her to join us, then you must find her and destroy her," Snoke said menacingly before disappearing.

"Adiara, follow me," Kylo said coldly through his mask.

"Why should I? There is nothing you could say to me that would make me want to join the dark side or even trust you for that matter. You are nothing but a traitor!" she yelled as tears slid down her face.

"Let us go somewhere more private to speak," he said opening the door behind him with a wave of his hand. "I could make you but I am giving you the option." She just stared at him. "Please, Adi."

"No!" she said crossing to him. "No! You don't get to call me that anymore!" She said to his mask as tears slid down her face. She pushed past him and walked out the door.

"How?" she asked as she stopped dead. They weren't inside a building anymore but they were outside standing the middle of a field of wildflowers. She could feel the wind on her face and hear water nearby.

"Snoke handed me control of the vision when he left, Kylo's cold mechanical voice came.

"Because letting me wake up and return to the people I actually care about would be too much. How long are you going to keep me in this vision prison?" she asked turning to stare at him. She noticed that the door they had walked through had disappeared behind him.

"I won't keep you here long. It isn't safe too."

"And how do I appear in the real world? You know where I actually am?"

"Like you are in a coma, and given what Snoke put you through before this, the doctors will easily come to that conclusion."

"That is encouraging," she responded shortly before walking away from him.

"Don't walk away from me. We need to talk," he said sternly as he stood tall trying to intimidate her.

"You may control this environment, but you do not control me and you do not scare me. I know who and what is behind that mask," she continuing to walk towards where the water sounded like it was coming from.

"And what is that?" he said starting to get angry.

"Do you really want to know what I think?" she said turning and staring at him angrily.

"Yes I do," he responded coldly.

"I will answer only if you take that ridiculous mask of." She said crossing her arms across her chest.

"And if I say no?" he asked.

"Then this conversation is over and we have nothing to discuss," she said shortly before turning and walking away.

"I didn't dismiss you," he said angrily and she froze in her place.

"Really? You are absolutely unbelievable. I cannot believe you would actually dare to use the force on me!" she said trying to move. The only response she received was the sound of his mask depressurizing.

"You can struggle all you want. You aren't powerful enough to break my hold," a soft voice came.

"Release me from this!" she said through gritted teeth.

"Fine, but if you try to walk away again, I will not hesitate to use the force to immobilize you," he responded. She felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off of her whole body and fell to the ground in exhaustion. She took a few deep breaths before two hands brought her to her feet. "Stand up."

"Since when does the all mighty Kylo Ren show kindness?" she said brushing off her clothes.

"Don't push it, Malek, his said coldly. "Now my mask is off. What do you see?" he said turning her to face him.

"I still see the same naïve, scared 17 year old boy from those many years ago. I still see my best friend and I can still see the light in you," she said as tears filled her eyes. "I still see you Ben and I always will. There is still good in you, please come home." She was inches away from him, holding onto his arms for support to stand. He stood cold and rigid against her words. She could see the desperation in his eyes, she could see her scared best friend and all she wanted to do was to hug him.

"Ben is gone. I killed him," he said coldly dropping his arms and stepping away from her.

"Ben is not dead!" she said angrily as the tears began to fall. "You can say he is all you want, but I see him in your eyes."

"You see nothing! You know nothing. What could you possibly know? You chose not to be a Jedi. You said that life wasn't for you! Yet here you are because you are because you are strong in the force; yet you are untrained and easy to manipulate and read!" he screamed as he gripped her arms and pulled her close.

"Ben, this isn't you. Come home to us. Come home to me. I need you, Ben. You were…are the only person that has ever fully understood me," she cried holding on to him for dear life.

"I am here to make you an offer. Snoke wishes for you to become his apprentice as well. You would train with me, we would see each other every day. It could be similar to the old days," he started looking down at her.

"I can't. I can't betray everyone. I can't betray my friends and your family. They have been so kind to me," she responded letting her arms fall to her side.

"You mean you cannot betray Dameron," he said coldly.

"I never said that," she started.

"You forget I can read your mind like an open book!" he yelled angrily before turning around and grabbing his helmet from the ground.

"Ben, please!" she grabbing his arm.

"I have told you Snoke's offer. If you refuse, I will have no choice but to hunt you down and kill you," he said not looking at her and placing his mask back on. "You have one week to consider. I will meet you on Naboo, at the place where my grandparents were married, then we will discuss your decision." He pulled his arm away and began to walk away.

"Ben, please Wait!" she called, but he was gone. She sunk into the grass and cried, calling out for Ben. She knew he was still there. If he wasn't then she would've woken up by now and been back home. Back on the base and able to hug Leia and Poe and cry in their arms.

Back in the Medical Bay:

It had been days since the incident in the training room. Adiara hadn't moved. The doctors said she was in coma, but it was unusual, her brain was working in overtime according to her brain scans.

"I have never seen anything like this. It makes sense that she would be in a coma after what she endured, but this is unlike any coma I have seen. The nurse said she will randomly shout something out or start speaking like she is having a conversation with someone in the room, but when the nurse looks no one is in here," the doctor said after the ran some more tests. "I honestly do not know when or if she will ever wake up."

"Thank you, doctor," General Organa said with a soft smile. The doctor left and she turned to Poe, who was sitting in the chair next to her bed. "You really should get some rest Poe, in your own bed, not this chair. You have spent every moment you can in here."

"I can't, General. I feel like I need to be here when she wakes up. She deserve to have someone here when she wakes up," he said running his hands through his hair.

"I understand that Poe. Why don't you go take a relaxing shower? I will sit here while you are gone, and if anything changes, I will send for you right away," she said placing a hand on his shoulder. He looked at her for a moment and then nodded his head in agreement. A shower would help his tense muscles relax some.

"I won't be long," he said rising from the chair. "I will be right back," he said as he pushed Adiara's auburn hair and placed a light kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.

"You know, that piolet has taken quite the liking to you," Leia said after a while and taking her hand. "I don't know what he would do if you never woke up. Come back to us, Adiara. You have become like a daughter to me and I cannot bare to lose you. I already lost my son," she said as tears formed in her eyes. "I tried to reach out to Han to let him know that Snoke somehow managed to hurt you but I don't know where he is, hopefully he gets the message. Look at me rambling on like some crazy woman, who knows if you can even hear me. I wish I knew where you are and what is happening to you."

"Ben," Adiara's voice came quietly.

"Adiara, can you hear me?" Leia said standing closer the bed. "Adiara?"

"Ben," she cried louder before beginning to thrash around in the bed.

"Adiara, lay still" Leia said trying to hold her still. "Dameron! Doctor! Someone!"

"What is wrong?!" Poa said running in.

"Help me hold her still before she hurts herself."

Poe obeyed immediately and ran over to the other side of the bed. He sat on the side of the bed and help Adiara's arms at her side. "Adiara, calm down. It is me it is Poe," he said calmly in her ear. She must have registered what he said because she calmed for a moment before starting to scream again.

"No! No! No, Ben you don't have to do this! Please no! Poe!" She cried as she bolted straight up, head butting Poe in the process. "Poe!" she exclaimed when she saw him in front of her. "You are bleeding," she said through her tears.

"I will be fine. The good thing is that you are awake," he said pulling her into a hug. "Never scare us like that again."

"You are safe," she said through her tears as she gripping onto him for dear life. "You are safe."

"The important thing is that you are safe," he said has his one hand entangled its self in her hair while the other rubbed circles on her back to calm her down.

"But I saw him…..I saw him kill you," she choked out through the tear.

"Who?" Leia asked. "Adiara, who killed Poe?"

"Ben, Ben killed him because I said no," she said before losing herself in her tears. Leia and Poe just simply glanced at each other, but decided it wasn't worth asking now. Adiara was awake and that was what mattered now.
