I should be posting this next week but I was a bit excited for the twist so like- here you go.
(Yes I reposted this because I accidentally posted the wrong version of this chapter and realized it too late.)

"Y/n?" Someone whispered in the darkness.
"Get out of there."
You woke up gasping for air, you pressed your hand on your throbbing head and wiped the cold sweat off your skin, You rushed to the bathroom to wash your face but you noticed the blood dripping from your nose as you looked at the mirror.
You grabbed a towel and soaked it in the water before wiping your nose and face with it, your watch started beeping loudly and you didn't even bother looking at it to know that your body was slowly breaking down from that single travel you made.
You thought about what the voice said, should you be even listening to it?
The very next day, as soon as Vicrul and Kuruk arrived you already felt uneasiness.
"You look pale." Vicrul says as he let the needle sink into your skin to get some blood samples.
"Too pale." Kuruk comments. "You're scary."
"If I'm scary then what do you call yourself?" You said back at him.
Your head was pounding too much for you to reply, you licked your dry lips and closed your eyes.
"Y/n? Y/n." You peeled your eyes open. "Your nose is bleeding."
Your hand went up to your nose immediately and wiped away the blood.
"I'm sorry, this is just.." you tried to continue your sentence but there was nothing else to say, this is just what? Just signs of you dying?
"You're dying aren't you?" Kuruk quickly says. "Nope don't even answer that, you already look like you're dead."
"I just want to get this over with, I've waited and trained enough. Just take me to him." You pleaded.
Your heart ached, longing for so many things at a time. Home, Your mother, and Ben.
You received no reply, Vicrul just continued wiping away the blood from your face and didn't even dare to look at you in the eyes, the same with Kuruk who always seemed to stand with so much pride, was now looking down on his feet.
"Just get some rest for now." Vicrul smiled at you, "We're just going to stalk about this."
You didn't have any other choice but to nod, Vicrul guided you to your room and left you there for a while, you sat down on your bed and tried to shrug off your headache.
"Y/n." The voice said again, it was too distant for you to recognize who it was. "Y/n."
"You need to get out." You opened your eyes to see...
"Kylo?"
"I can't explain right now but you need to get out of here, Kuruk... Don't trust him." He said with a low voice.
"What do you mean, they're-"
"You're going to die, Y/n." He said with a harsh voice. "Reach out to the force, feel it. Find me."
You were about to reply when a knock echoed from your door, you turned your head towards it as Vicrul opened it.
"Who were you talking to?" He asked.
You looked at where Kylo was and saw nothing but an empty space.
"No one." You simply said. "A-are you done talking with Kuruk?"
You saw the hint of suspiciousness in his eyes, "Yes, and... We're leaving now."
"Now?"
"Yes, that was what you wanted right?" He slowly walked closer to you, you breathed sharply and he got nearer.
Are you supposed to believe what Kylo told you? Was that even really Kylo?
"Is there something wrong?" He said softly. "Are you still feeling sick?"
He lifted your head up carefully.
"I'm okay, it's just the headache." You wanted to trust Vicrul, you had enough proof to know that he was a good person.
"Go get your things, I'm going to prepare the ship." He held your hand, and slowly slipped a paper on yours. You furrowed your eyebrows at him, but he just gave you a stern look.
He finally left and closed the door behind him, you opened the paper and read the scribbled note.
'I got a message from Kylo, I know you've already spoken to him. I'll explain everything once we get out but for now, I need you to follow my lead.'
All of it just made your head ache even more, and you were sure you could pass out anytime, but after a few moments, you knew you didn't have any choice, you continued to read his written plan and memorized it as much as you can.
You walked out of your room and saw Vicrul and Kuruk talking. "Are you ready to go?"
You nodded at them.
"I'll start the ship." Vicrul says, giving you a look before getting out.
Now you were left alone with Kuruk, everything was going well with the both of you, but now you realized he's always been the same.
He always wants to kill you.
"Did you really think his plan's going to work?" Kuruk said out of blue, you nervously looked at him and saw the blade on his hands.
"What plan?"
"Don't act dumb, is that the last thing you want to do before you die?" He walked towards you and pressed the blade against your throat, just deep enough to draw blood.
You closed your eyes and tried to use the force.
"Can't use the force, you're too weak to do so." He chuckled. "I want to kill you so bad but that's Palpatine's job."
"So I'm just going to hurt you... Just a little bit." He jammed the blade into the side of your stomach. "Don't worry, It's not going to kill you."
You cried out in pain as you fell on the floor, clutching your stomach trying to stop the blood. Your head was aching and you were bleeding to death.
"You know, it's really stupid of you to think you're going to... Get me to Palpatine, because I'm pretty sure I'd be dead by then."
"I said it wasn't going to kill you."
"How are you sure though? I'm the one bleeding on the floor here." You tried to laugh, why the hell were you laughing? Happy that Kylo's alive or the fact that there's a high chance you were going to die instead of seeing that ugly emperor's face again.
"Too bad, I was starting to know you humorous side." You mumbled to yourself, you could feel the plan coming together, except you getting stabbed wasn't a part of the plan.
"What was that?"
Anytime now..
"I asked you a question-" you covered your eyes and heard the guns of the ship go off, after a few seconds, silence replaced the noise.
You opened your eyes to see Vicrul above you.
"I told you to duck, not bleed out."
"Well, your plan was shit."
"I'm the one getting your out f here and you're talking to me like that." You just smirked at him. "Come on."
He put his arms around you and lifted you up. "Woman, you're heavy."
"Asshole."
"Stop cursing at me." He carried you to the ship and looked at the cut on your stomach. "We should be able to go to a safe place before the First Order gets here."
"And then you'll explain everything?"
"I think you'd prefer if Kylo did."

I'm not sure if that's actually a cliffhanger since I never actually made a proper cliffhanger before but heyyyy I updated!
