7 Deadly Sins- A Kylo Ren and Knights of Ren AU story

Five weeks passed after our amazing night out together at the bar. Life was normal, quiet even.

Kylo had business to attend to at one of his franchise locations and took Trudgen with him, Cardo was down at the restaurant, Ushar and Vicrul were down at the bar getting things ready to open, Kuruk was STILL asleep and Ap'lek had just arrived back with my child, towing a giant catfish in a bucket for him that he planned to show him how to skin.

"Oh, baby you did so good," I leaned down in front of the bucket, watching the good sized catfish swim back and forth in the water. Ben looked up at me with his daddy's hazel eyes and beamed with pride.

"Ape said I can eat it for dinner tonight," he bounced on the ball of his feet as he grasped his hands together. I grimaced a little as I looked up at Ap'lek, or Ape as he's called him since he's been able to talk. Ap'lek merely shrugged.

"Let me take a picture first and send it to daddy," I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and took a picture of the fish in the bucket before Ap'lek pulled on the string holding it and let Ben grab the string and smile for the camera. "Perfect! He's going to be so surprised when he sees this."

"Think he'll eat some with me?" His big, wide eyes full of wonder made me chuckle.

"If he doesn't, I'll make him," I promise with a wink. He laughed and punched the air. I stand back up  after sending the picture and smile at him, trying to hide the pain from my body at the moment, another night with a rabid Kylo that fucked me until sunrise. "Until dinner though, why don't you and Ap'lek go get some lunch from Cardo's? Hm? Bring me back a panini please?"

"Why don't you come eat with me?" he asked softly, I smiled and ran my hands through his hair and pulled him closer to me until he's hugging my waist.

"Ap, do you think you could run down there and get us a panini and PB&J?"I asked, turning towards my son's uncle with a pout. He rolled his eyes and nodded, I grinned down at Ben and grabbed his hand. "Now, we can eat together and finish what mommy was doing."

"What's that?" he asked softly, walking with me back to the door.

"Well, I was finishing up laundry and then I was going to run into town and get your cousins a birthday gift for their party on Saturday," I opened the door and led him in first, only to come face to face with someone I didn't know, well nose to chest. "Who are you?"

"Scream, and someone dies," he murmured, reaching forward for me. Quick thinking from years of criminal behavior and I was throwing Ben behind me, into the partially closed door and was backtracking. I turned, grabbing Ben by the waist as my hand slammed the thick door against the man as he moved slower than my smaller frame.

"AP'LEK!" I screamed, running with Ben tucked to my side. I pulled him up against my chest as my burning legs carried me faster across the concrete back patio. I guess Ap'lek hadn't gotten far from the house, because he appeared from the side yard, hauling ass towards us, a look of terror on his face.

"Get down!" Ap'lek shouted, his hands moving wildly as he slowed, eyes widened.

I immediately shielded Ben as I bent down and lowered us to the ground, panting as a gunshot sounded close from behind me. I whimpered, folding my head into Ben's dark brown hair. He cried in my arms, wailing with fear. I slowly lifted my head as heavy footsteps stopped right behind me.

"I told you, if you screamed- someone would be dead," the gravelly voice was smooth, confident and lacked empathy as I stared mouth agape at Ap'lek's still figure, laid on his back, a deep contrast against the gray concrete. I turn Ben in my arms, forcing his face into my chest as my eyes fill with tears. I barely register the harsh grip of a hand on my forearm as I'm lifted from the ground and forced to walk past one of my loves, unsure if he's dead or alive.

"Who are you," I try to say it with anger but it even sounds weak coming from my mouth.

"Who I am is none of your concern, what is- is that you remain cooperative for the man that I work for," he spoke as he moved us through the back and side yards, feet away from Ap'lek's yellow hummer is a black jeep. He opened the door and pushed me roughly into the side of it. "Get in. I've already been here too long."

"Whoever you are," I turn to him, shielding Ben but holding him tightly. "You fucked with the wrong family."

He smirked, something that lit up his pale blue eyes. He put his hand on the top of the jeep and leaned in until he was inches from my face. I swallowed hard and maintained eye contact. I might be crying, scared and unable to do anything right now- but I'm not faithless. Kylo would save us. "Is that so, princess?"

"Yeah," I whispered, breathing heavily. "You just broke into the home of the Knights of Ren, shot one of the Knights and kidnapped the leader's girlfriend and son- I think you should know, you are a dead man walking."

"I don't give a fuck about these washed up, half assed criminals," he smirked, using his other hand, he pushed hair from my eyes. "Or their whore and bastard child."

I clench my jaw and look down at Ben. "Get in the jeep," I whisper to him softly, he cries and I have a hard time detaching him from my hold, but he finally climbs off of me and into the seat, balling up like an infant as he watches me stare down the man in front of me. "Do you know what happened to the last guy who tried to hurt me?" I build the confidence to press my fingers into the bullet proof vest on his chest, he raises an eyebrow and takes a step back. "Kylo tore him apart. Pieces of him are scattered from here to the mason dixon line. His men, struck down between breaths, their business- reduced to ashes. Back then, I was just a toy- can you imagine, what would have happened to them had I been the mother of his child then?"

I prayed, prayed hard and loud in my head that my stalling would be for something. I could keep backing him up, watching the amusement clearly on his face, but I couldn't do anything with Ben in the middle of it. I could risk myself easily, but not him. "Palpatine doesn't give a shit about what he did to Snoke, he's stronger than him and Pryde put together. I have no fear of your men because Palpatine always gets what he wants."

"And what does that have to do with me or my child?"

"Payback for his granddaughter," he spit, leaning forward with his teeth bared. "You are living the life she should have. Rey loved Kylo Ren just as you do, and where did it get her? Dead. Just like you, after I take you to Palpatine. Your boy- he'll raise him as his own."

A shiver of fear ran through me, the silence of the world seemed to crush what confidence had built and I was left winded by his words. "He wants me dead because he believes Kylo got her killed? He wants to take my child as payment?"

"Enough talking," he barked, he threw a hand out and pushed me roughly against the open car- I grunted at the force, but stood straight and kept my eyes on him. "Get in the fucking car."

"No. You can take me, but you leave my son out of it," I sounded strong but I was begging, pleading for him to show mercy on a defenseless child. "You let him go and I'll come willingly. I'll gladly die if you just let my son live."

"That's not my orders," he chuckled, but before he could take a step closer, we heard the familiar sound of tires roaring down a dirt road. I smirked, but didn't hold it long when his hands reached out and threw me in the car, practically on Ben. I had to land awkwardly on my neck to keep from squashing Ben against the seat. The man took two strides before he was in the driver's seat of the jeep and was spinning it around enough that it burnt rubber on the nice concrete carport.

I did what I could in the jerking vehicle to pull the seat belt around Ben, my own back caging him in the seat in case we crashed with the way this guy was driving past Kylo's souped up corvette. I braced myself on the door and dashboard, using my body to press against Ben's little body to keep him steady as the jeep jerked back and forth at the driver's erratic movements.

"Slow the fuck down!" I screamed at him, feeling Ben's little hands dig into the material of my shirt at my back. His little cries had stopped but now only whines escaped his lips. "Ben, just breathe. Daddy is coming for us."

"Shut the fuck up and let me concentrate," the guy practically growled as his eyebrows furrowed, he jerked the wheel and turns us onto the main road off the side of the bar. I vaguely noticed Vicrul's red Mustang and Cardo's vibrant blue Charger ripping from their spaces in their respective parking lots.
