Ch. 13, Another Escape
"Hey! She shouldn't be doing that!" cried the medical droid.
Grievous stopped and looked at the droid "Does it look like she cares!" Grievous yelled back.
"Well stop her, before she hurts herself!" yelled the medical droid.
Charlie ran into the elevator and pushed a button for the hanger bay. She folded her hands into a praying position, "Please let me get off this ship!"
The elevator stopped at the hanger bay and Charlie darted out and ran aboard a small ship. She locked the door as she entered it and ran to the control room of it.
She started pushing buttons starting up the ship.
Grievous started up his run again when he realized that 'wait a minute this seems familiar' "Crap!"
The ship roared to life, "Yes!" she turned off the shield doors and flew out. "Yes!" Several other ships took off after her, "Yee-ha!" she does a few spinning moves to shake them off.
Grievous watched her fly off, "Dammit!"
"Now to get far enough to jump into light speed." So far Charlie was getting her wish, and she watched the stars from her sit as they zoom in to lines and she was gone.
Grievous was standing in the hanger bay with his fist shaking mad because Charlie had gotten away.
"There is a tracker on the ship right!" he tried to remain clam.
"Yes sir, there is," said another random droid.
"Good!" hissed Grievous then he stalked away.
Despite the fact Charlie didn't grow up in Star Wars she had found out that she was a fine polit. She was very lucky to find that she could drive an alien spacecraft. But she more lucky when she came out of light speed at a Clone Army Ship.
"Thank God," breathed Charlie holding her side.
"You are flying in a restricted section, identify yourself!" came a clone over the Holonet.
"I'm Captain Charlie Williams, I've escaped from the droid army and I need medical... attention!" gasped Charlie gripping tighter on her side.
"Welcome back Captain Williams! You'll be escorted aboard." said the Clone.
Charlie nodded and saw clone fighter ships flying in around her.
They guided her into the clone ship hanger bay. Once the alien ship was down Charlie saw her two friends running to her along with two Jedi.
Charlie moved as best as she could holding her bleeding side as she ran in to the arms of Kathryn and Nathan.
"You're bleeding Charlie!" cried Kathryn as she hugged her anyway.
"A desperate attempt to get away. I see you still remember me." sighed Charlie.
"Inca says we had a month before we become total loses." said Nathan.
Obi-wan took Charlie's arm and helped her stand, "It's been awhile captain. Good to see you Charlie," he smiled at her.
Charlie nodded "Good to see you as well..."
Anakin took her other arm and the two Jedi's helped her to the medical wing. They helped her lay down in a bed.
Charlie noticed that Anakin was now a Jedi Knight, "Congratulations on your becoming a Knight."
Anakin looked at her, "Thanks."
"Obi-wan you might want to get rid of that ship I was in, Grievous has bound to have put a tracker on it." said Charlie.
Obi-wan nodded, "Alright!" he and a few clones left the room to get rid of the alien ship.
Charlie relaxed peacefully to know that she was back in the arms of the Jedi and her friends. As the medical personal started to bandage her wounds, Kathryn noticed that the light saber burns were now fresh.
"He reopened them didn't he?" she asked in a slight sigh.
"Yeah, but the stabbing one was something I did," said Charlie.
"Why?" asked Kathryn looking confused.
"I wanted to get away. So I tried to take the easy way out!" she was starting to get annoyed.
Kathryn noticed Charlie's mood swing, "Charlie is it that time of month?"
Charlie glared at her, "Isn't lovely!"
Nathan came in with a tray of food, "Here you go," he sat the tray on a table and rolled it to her side.
"Finally." she cheered and attacked the food. She ate it with in minutes.
"Never stood a chance," joked Kathryn. She got to her feet and got close to Charlie as if to clear away the remains and sat a small bag in Charlie's lap.
Charlie looked confused, "What is this?"
"Pads," Kathryn whispered in her ear and then backed away taking the tray with her.
"Ah thanks." said Charlie as Obi-wan and Inca entered the room.
"Look who just got here." said Obi-wan to Inca who rushed forward to Charlie.
"You bone head!" she looked over the wounds, "What have you done to yourself? Are you crazy!"
"Was it not you who told me it would be better to sacrifice one self for our love ones." smiled Charlie.
Kathryn gave Charlie a look, "I could have told you she was crazy!"
"What are you, her mother?" asked Nathan.
"No, I'm not you freak!" snapped Kathryn and she stormed out.
Nathan sighed, "Excuse me..."
"Not at all mate," laughed Charlie then Nathan left the room.
"Well I thing our hero needs her rest." said Obi-wan.
"Oh yes!" said Inca, she bent down to Charlie, "Try to kill yourself again and I'll kick you butt!" she whispered to Charlie and then left the room.
Obi-wan picked up the bag and looked inside then grinned.
"If you say one word I'll..." Charlie balled her hand into a fist.
"Actually I wasn't thinking about that. Two years and I still can't get your naked butt out of my mind," he laughed and high tailed it out of there.
Charlie groaned and dropped her head back against the pillow and fell asleep.
Sorry if you all were thinking there was going to be a big love sence, its not going to happen. please review.
