Ch.21, Strange Sickness

"No please stop!… someone help… I don't understand!" Charlie spoke in her sleep.

"Sir she's been like this for over an hour," said the medical droid 1.

"We can't find anything wrong with her," said medical droid 2.

"We've tried medication after medication nothing is working," said medical droid 3.

"Who are you… who- am… I" she mumbled and started jerking around in the bed.

Grievous watched her, "Find a cure for this!"

"We don't know what it is," said medical droid 1.

Charlie mumbled something else.

"Find one anyway!" he hissed at them.

Charlie flew up from the bed in cold sweat gasping for breath. She looked at Grievous and all the medical droids after she fell back against the pillows.

Grievous started towards her as she tried to slow her breathing, "What's wrong Charlie?"

"I… don't… know-" she fainted.

"Keep a close eye on her," demanded Grievous he then left to go to the bridge.

Grievous was standing beside Charlie leaning over her. When suddenly she flew up from a nightmare and cracked her head on his face, she fell back on to the pillow holding her head screaming.

"Dammit! Of all the times to study my face!" she yelled at him.

"I can't help that. I think your head dented something. Are you alright?" he asked standing straight up.

"What does it bloody look like!" she hissed as her head started bleeding, she growled at him.

Grievous handed her a patch, "Tough love!"

Charlie spat in his face.

Grievous used the patch to wipe his face, "That's disgusting!"

"So are you, but you don't hear me complaining!" she hissed.

Grievous growled at her warning her to stop.

"Truth hurts doesn't it!" she hissed at him then rolled on her side turning her back to him, which was a bad idea. Grievous drew back his hand and slapped his hand hard on her backside.

"STOP!" Charlie yelled at the top of her lungs and she hopped back to laying flat on her back.

"Why?" he asked.

"Don't even try it, only I'm the master of that Not even Kathryn can do it!" she glared at him.

"Why?"

Charlie mumbled, "Stupid child abuser!"

"What!"

"You heard me!" she hissed at him.

Grievous pinned her down on the bed, "Do you really want to press your luck?"

"What's the worst you can do to me now! Make hate you even more!" she spat at him.

Grievous turned her over and spanked her again but harder.

Charlie's face winced in pain, "You are sill a child abuser!"

"Stop calling me that!" he yelled at her.

Charlie rolled back over, "NO! it's what you are!"

"Shut up!" Grievous growled at her.

"NO!" Charlie yelled at him.

Grievous covered her mouth, "Shut up!" Charlie yelled child abuser behind his hand.

Grievous grabbed the front of her shirt and slapped the side of her face, "I told you to shut up!"

Charlie shook her head, "No!" she hissed again.

Grievous let go off her to go lock the door, "Now you've pushed your luck too far!" he stalked back to her and jerked her up from the bed.

"Let go of me!" she yelled then spat in his face.

Grievous released her and punched her face knocking her to the floor.

Charlie crawled away from him, "Stop!" she begged.

Grievous grabbed her foot with his and pulled her back then twisted it almost to a point were it was about to break.

Charlie screamed in pain and begged him to stop again.

Grievous let go of her foot then bent down beside her. He grabbed her throat and pulled her up to his face, "The next time I tell you to shut up you better! Understand that?" he hissed.

Charlie was in tears but she nodded.

"Good! But just so you don't forget!" he grabbed her wrist with two of his hands and snapped it.

Charlie's scream was drowned to a gag as he tightened his hold on her throat.

He let go of her broken wrist and threw her back on the floor.

He then got up and opened the door and found the medical droids there.

They each looked at her.

"What did you do?" asked Medical droid 1.

"How are we suppose to help her if you keep messing with her even more?" asked medical droid 2.

"Do you wish to remain in one piece?" growled Grievous.

Medical droid said nothing pretending he didn't hear or see anything.

Yeah, to answer the question as to why the heck did Grievous do that to her. Its like i said before, he is a twisted loony. Please review.
