Ch. 16, More Agurments

Hours later:

The medical droid removed the restraints from Charlie as long as she would cooprate. She sat all alone in the dark room.

She didn't know Grievous had came into the room.

"Charlie, are you hungry?" he asked.

Charlie jumped and looked at him, "Last time you tried to feed me there was poison in my food."

"You got the poisoned food? I wondered why that fool wasn't dead"

Charlie stared at him for a moment then shook her head. She crossed her arms over her chest, "No, I'm not hungry"

"Very well," said Grievous as he turned to leave.

Charlie closed her eyes and sighed when her stomach gave a loud growl, "Damnit!" she mumbled.

Grievous turned back around, "So you are hungry," he cocked his head at her.

Charlie shot him a look then mumbled something under her breath.

"I'll send you some food," he sighed and left the room.

"I won't eat it," mumbled Charlie.

A few moments went by and the random droid entered, "I have food for you- … oh no! Not you!"

Charlie shot him a look, "Go away!" she yelled.

The random droid dropped the plate on the table and ran from the room.

Charlie looked up and sighed then got to her feet and went out side and found the droid cowering outside of the room. "I'm sorry." She mumbled to it as she sat down beside it, "I don't know what came over me… please forgive me. I'm really not at all like Grievous, and I don't want to be either..."

The droid nodded, "It's alright, I've gotten used to it."

"I wish I would," mumbled Charlie. Charlie saw Grievous coming down the hall, "Speaking of the devil."

"I was never here," mumbled the droid getting to its feet and running off.

"What are you doing Charlie?" asked Grievous looking down at her.

Charlie looked up at him, "Sitting. What does it look like?"

Grievous cocked his head, "Why out here?"

Charlie copied him, "Cause I want to!" she then gave him the finger.

Grievous pulled her up and carried her into her room.

"I wasn't doing anything but talking to the droids!" she whined as he threw her on to her bed.

"You don't talk to the droids! That's the entire point!" snapped Grievous.

"But why? What's the big deal with talking with the droids?" asked Charlie.

"You just don't do that!" said Grievous glaring at her.

"Fine!" hissed Charlie.

She laid down on her side and turned her back to him, "Ass!"

"I don't have a donkey," said Grievous.

"I know you don't, you are one!" snapped Charlie.

"I am not!" said Grievous glaring at her again.

Charlie drew herself together, "You keep thinking that if it makes you feel better."

"Stay out of your ball!" demanded Grievous.

"No!" snapped Charlie.

Grievous grabbed her arms and turned her around, "Yes!"

"STOP!" Charlie screamed at him, "Leave me alone!"

Grievous let go of her, "Fine!"

"What do you want?" she hissed sitting up.

"For you to eat," said Grievous trying to regain his cool.

"I'm not hungry," snapped Charlie

"Fine!" hissed Grievous, he turned on his heal and stormed out of the room.

"Whatever, I'm fine as long as you leave me alone." She didn't realize that he had over heard her.

"That's interesting," said Grievous.

Charlie gasped when she heard him still in the room.

"Do you think out loud often?" he asked.

"As much as you are an ass, then yes!" she snapped.

Grievous glared, "I'm not an ass!"

Charlie looked at him then looked away mumbling something under her breath.

"I'll be back later." He said trying not to hit her.

When he left Charlie got to her feet, 'I wonder what he does every day,' she thought then took off to follow him.

Grievous waited for the elevator, he heard Charlie's bare feet sneaking up behind him. He quickly grabbed her, threw her over his shoulder, and stepped into the elevator with her.

"Put me down!" demanded Charlie.

"Why? So you can run back to your bed and ball up. You're a general, act like it!"

"I'm a child too!" snapped Charlie as he sat her down on her feet but held on to her arm tightly, "oww" she hissed.

Grievous dragged her into his chambers, and sat her in his chair, "Stay still!" he hissed.

Charlie glared and watched him as he pressed a button on the chair, "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know stay still while I think." He said coldly and began pacing around his chambers.

Charlie watched and waited as he thought when he stopped, "How old are you?" he asked.

"I'm still fifteen. It was only two months for me." Said Charlie.

Grievous pushed another button and she was free. He pulled her out of the chair and pushed her away. "Get out!" he said coldly turning his back on her.

Charlie tore from his chambers and found her way back to the medical wing. She walked into her room and found the medical droid looking for her seeing if she was hiding. It looked at her.

"I wondered where you had gotten too. Two more days and you'll be good as new." Charlie nodded at it, and laid herself down in the bed, "goodnight," she said as the droid left the room.

Charlie pulled the covers around herself and fell asleep.
