Are you guys reading my mind or something?Also I'd like to give credit to Felicity Dream's story, Killings Strangers (Leave Me Alone) for a few ideas of Kallus' past and first name.~:~
The clock rang one. Startling Kallus awake, he was certainly surprised to hear it at one in the morning, didn't he set it for later?
"About time," a voice said from the foot of his bed. He looked over to see a tall Togruta woman with orange skin and white markings, she wore what appeared to be Jedi robes, she also seemed to be annoyed by said robes. "I am the Ghost of Christmas Past," she spoke with boldness and seriousness.
"What?" Kallus had to be dreaming, first he's visited by the ghost of Tarkin and now he's visited by the ghost of some woman? What was in his dinner?
"Come with me Kallus," she said, holding out her hand to him.
Kallus hesitantly took her hand. There was a flash of light, Kallus closed his eyes, only to open them to see a large dreary -yet familiar- room, so silent you could hear a clock ticking in the background. The only other sound in the room was the sound of a child sobbing softly in the corner.
Kallus, despite himself walked over to the child, "What's wrong?"
"He can't hear you," Ahsoka said, "Or see you, no one can. This is the past."
"Coriolan!" A deep voice shouted from another room. "Quit your moping and get over here!"
The child's head moved up, revealing a boy with dirty blonde hair and round brown eyes, "Yes father!" He replied getting up and wiping away his tears.
"It's… me…" Kallus said, it's been so long he almost had forgotten his childhood. Almost.
"Yes it is," Ahsoka said, "I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past remember?"He remembered this memory though, it was his first Christmas without his nana, and his father even forgot the holiday, so he ended up getting nothing. That's the way it always was from then on, even on other holidays, including his birthday.
"But it gets better doesn't it?" Ahsoka said as the scenery changed completely. Now the large room was decorated with beautiful decorations and lights.
"Isn't it exciting Cor! The boss is letting us have a party! A Christmas party! Here!" An excited man, also one of his friends, Balen Rudor, said.
Coriolan smiled widely, it's been so long since he had a party! "It is! Finally a day off!"
"It'll be so much fun!" A female voice said.
Kallus turned to see a face he had almost long forgotten, then again, it would be hard to forget such a lovely face. He could never forget Maketh Tua.
He could never forget the night he lost her.
He watched as everyone prepared for the party, he watched them dance and laugh, he even joined in himself a few times, sometimes Ahsoka even joined him.
But the happiness died down immediately when they heard a body collapse to the floor.
"Tua!" Kallus shouted.
"Maketh!" Coriolan shouted at the same time, kneeling beside his girlfriend, "Wake up!"
She wasn't moving, you could hardly hear her breathing, her skin was pale and her fever ran high. Too high for an average person.
"Spirit…" Kallus said, "Please… get me out of here."

Kallus once again woke up in his bed, he looked around and sighed, his eyes watered up but he refused to cry. It was only a dream, nothing more.
It was just a memory.
~:~
Apologies for such a short chapter, but I wasn't so sure on what to do for this.I know in the actual story Scrooge's girlfriend left him of her own will, but in this story of thought it would be better (and more dramatic) if Tua died.Stay tuned for the next one!~ Paint
