Chapter Four: A Grave Mistake
As Count Dooku and Soreka reached were he was standing Soreka stood next to him facing Count Dooku.
"Soreka I want to congratulate you for completing your last mission and for finally having an apprentice."
"Thank you sir, I'm deeply honored to be able to be a master under your guidance." Count Dooku made a weak smile before continuing.
"Your next mission is to follow a certain Jedi by the name Cor'uka Scemi. Your are to follow him for five months and Soreka you will train your new padawan in the skill of lightsabers for when you encounter this Jedi it will be a test for her not only mentally but physically also. And General Grievous you are just to observe Soreka teaching her padawan and you are to accompany them when they go and face the Jedi, but you are just going to be there to observe not fight you will let Soreka and River do that. Understood."
"Yes sir," was their reply. "I will leave you now to discuss how this is to be done." And Count Dooku left.
"I'll look up this Jedi's file and find out everything about him I can, said General Grievous, "meanwhile you will be teaching your padawan, I will update you on the Jedi but you are to concentrate on her, understood?"
''Sounds good to me, and if you don't need me I will be regenerating." And with that Grievous was left alone.Five Months Later
For the past five months River had been training with lightsabers, Soreka was a good mentor; she was patient most of the time and was somewhat encouraging. Ever since she had arrived she hadn't seen much of General Grievous and that made her more relaxed. It's not that she didn't like him it was just that he scared her with his big voice and his temperament that made him not easy to be around. She was glad that they hadn't had a chance to finish the duel they had started the day they met because she wanted to not to be overpowered.
She knew that the three of them were on a mission that was almost to an end seeming they were leaving the next morning to complete it. All she knew is that they were following a Jedi by the name Cor'uka Scemi and that he was one of the best Jedi with a lightsaber.
After she took a shower to clean of the day's grime she decided to go to her favorite spot in the observatory room. After she pulled her hair back she left. She was wearing pants that were a turquoise green and a shirt that was the same color and it hugged her form which she wasn't to keen on so she put on her cloak on before she left her room. She made her way through a maze of hallway's and finally reached a very large door as it slid open she walked in, the light was usually off because as far as she knew she was the only one who came here, she walked over to the window and sat on the ledge with her back against the corner just going over the day's events and what she had learned.
She was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she didn't notice anyone come in. She thought she heard a faint clinking of metal on metal and the only thing that she could think of that was all metal was...
OH CRUM! why me, why me, WHY ME. She stayed in the same position so he still thought that she hadn't noticed he was there, she looked out of the corner of her eye and what she saw confirmed her fear, General Grievous was standing right over her! Of all the times she forgot her lightsaber, this had to be the one! She never liked being around him without her lightsaber it always made her feel like she had some way to protect herself if he were to get really mad.
She put her head on her knee and moaned, but the moan turned more to a laugh and she started laughing so hard she started to cry. This of all things surprised Grievous he hadn't planned on walking in here to find her alone, not to mention for her to start laughing like a lunatic.
"What now?'' he sighed exasperated.
"Nothing." She said as innocently as possible.
He hated that answer but didn't push it. She got up to leave but he stopped her by asking her a question.
"What were you doing in here?"
She stopped turned around looking clearly annoyed.
"I came in here to meditate."
"What?''
"I came... in here... to thiiiinnnnkkkk. Do I need to spell it out for you?"
He clenched his fist together trying to stay calm, but he found it extremely difficult, she just knew how to push his buttons, then he finally snapped.
"WHY MUST YOU BE SO ANNOYING?"
She hardly even flinched when she replied "The exact same reason your are, because it is so much fun to see someone try to stay calm." Then she left.
As soon as she was in the hall she took a deep breath, she hadn't realized she was holding her breath as soon as she had answered his question. She couldn't believe what she had just said and she decided to apologize. As she walked back in she found him pacing up and down muttering things to himself about how he hated her and she didn't blame him. When he realized she had come back in he gave her a deadly glare and growled.
"What do you want?"
She took a deep breath "General Grievous I'm sorry for what I just said, I knew you were only asking because you were curious and I shouldn't have said what I did. I'm really sorry, and I would understand if you cut me to bits right here and now."
This surprised him tremendously he hadn't expected her to feel guilty, but she was right about one thing he did want to slice into tiny little bit's, but something about the way she said it sounded sincere.
He waved his hand and grunted then he was left alone.
