Ch.31, Plans

"I'll bring you some food," said the medical droid as it left the room.

It returned a few moments later with a plate of food. Charlie took the plate and started eating the food.

"I'll be back after you eat," said the droid and it left again.

Charlie finished eating and laid back down thinking of what Kathryn and Obi-wan said, "Would they really make it in time?" she asked herself.

"Would who make it in time?" asked the droid returning.

Charlie looked at the droid, "Nothing."

Charlie pulled the covers over her head as the droid started cleaning up the remains of her food and left.

Charlie woke back up hours later from another nightmare screaming, "STOP!" she grabbed her head, "That was random!"

"You've been screaming stuff like that for almost an hour now... I was surprised your first yell didn't wake you up." said the medical droid.

Charlie looked at it, "This has happened before," she remembered that the medical droid had started taking notes about it.

"It has," said the droid.

"I got a pretty good idea what they mean," she mumbled to herself, "I'm thirsty," she said to the droid.

The medical droid handed her a glass of water, "Thanks," mumbled Charlie as she took it and then drunk it. She handed the empty cup back, "What is Grievous doing?"

The droid sat the glass down, "Preparing his army."

"I hope he doesn't plan for me to help him," she mumbled.

"I don't know what he's planning," said the droid.

"I can imagine," said Charlie as Grievous walked in.

"Imagine what?" he asked.

Charlie looked at him, "None of your business!"

"It is my business!" growled Grievous.

"Well I'm not telling you," hissed Charlie.

"You will when the time is right," said Grievous.

Charlie glared at him, "My god all I said was I can imagine what you had planned for me!" she jerked the covers up to her face and turned over on to her stomach refusing to look at him.

"Told you you'd tell me," muttered Grievous.

Charlie grabbed the empty cup and chucked it at him hitting him on the head.

"Why you!" he started towards her.

The medical droid got in front of him, "General I forbid you to take another step!"

Charlie grabbed the edges of the bed just knowing Grievous wasn't going to take orders from the medical droid. And she was right just as the droid stepped between them Grievous knocked him across the room and grabbed her at the root of her on the back of her head.

"You don't throw things at me ever again!" he yelled in her ear jerking her from the bed.

Charlie screamed and grabbed his hand. She had no choice but to move where he moved her to.

"And you will help me defeat the Jedi!" he added.

"No I won't!" she grinded her teeth, "I'll never help you!"

"You will when the time is right!" he hissed and threw her back on the bed and stormed out of the room.

Charlie shook her head and got to her feet and followed him out the door with the medical droid on her tail.

"I'LL NEVER HELP YOU! YOU DIRTY BASTARD!" the droid tried to pull her back into the room before Grievous rounded on her, but it was to late.

Grievous pushed the droid away and threw her into the wall. Charlie's eyes rolled around in her head, she was barely wake now.

"Don't ever call me that again!" he yelled at her.

"Dirty bastard!" she mumbled. Grievous growled then picked her up and turned to leave, the medical droid looked up at him, "Oh please Sir! Don't hurt her!... What are you going to do!" it cried.

"Keep her with me," growled Grievous.

"You're not going to hurt her are you?" it asked.

"Not at the moment."
