Chapter 18, Charlie the Warrior

Obi-wan nodded in agreement.

"After she has her proper induction that is!" said Inca, Obi-wan nodded again.

Charlie still felt her stomach burning, she gasped and fainted.

"Charlie!" Inca cried as she grabbed her and gently laid her down on to the floor. Inca noticed something about Charlie's shirt, it was hinted with blood, she pulled her shirt up showing her stomach.

Obi-wan winced as he saw the light saber marks on Charlie's stomach.

"Anakin go get a medical droid!" said Inca. Anakin nodded and hurried out to find a droid.

"Here take her. I'm going to go have the rest of the Jedi and some clones set up a perimeter." Said Inca as she handed Charlie to Obi-wan. He took her gently, then Inca got to her feet and left the room.

Obi-wan placed his hand on her forehead. Charlie jumped from her nightmare and looked at him.

Obi-wan looked back at her, "Anakin's gone to get a medical droid."

Charlie's stomach still burned, she pulled her shirt back down and held it as she started to cry.

"Shh Charlie, don't cry…" he said.

"It hurts!' she sobbed.

"I know it does," he whispered, "just hang in there Anakin should be back soon," he said stroking her hair.

"I want to go home!" she whined.

"I know you do, but you have to hang in there until after your induction."

"My what?" she asked.

"Your induction," he said with a small smile, she still looked confused, "your world guardian induction, or so Inca says," he said smiling at her.

"I don't know what that is" she still kept jerking from the burning pain.

"Neither do I," he trying holding her still. Then the medical droid entered the room. Charlie allowed the droid to look at her stomach and all the other area's Grievous had burned.

"Lets get you the medical wing," said the droid.

Obi-wan scooped her up and carried her towards the wing.

Soon Charlie's wounds were bandaged and weren't burning as bad.

"What now?" asked Charlie.

"Your induction and sending you home" replied Obi-wan. Charlie nodded and yawned, "Go to sleep Charlie!"

"I won't be left alone will I?" she looked up at him.

"I won't leave your side even for a minute." He rested a hand on her forehead.

Charlie nodded then closed her eyes and allowed the sleepiness to take over.and obi-wan settled back in his chair.

However, Charlie didn't sleep soundlessly.

Charlie flew up from the bed gasping for air, Obi-wan watched her, "Are you Okay? Do you want to talk about it?" she rubbed her stomach and looked at him, "What? I was just asking"

She laid back on the pillow, "Grievous" she mumbled.

"Ah" Obi-wan leaned forward.

"What am I going to do when he finds me?" she breathed.

"He won't find you. By the time he even has a plan you'll be home again. Safe." Said Obi-wan rubbed the top of her head. Charlie nodded and went back to sleep.

inca stood beside Charlie in a small room, with only a few Jedi with them. Obi-wan, Anakin, Yoda, and Mace.

"We're going to keep this private, we don't want to risk danger." Said Inca, reaching into her pocket. "Alright here we go, right hand over your heart." Charlie did what she said. "Do you Charlie, swear to up hold peace. And to die for what is right. To never take the easy way out and to protect the many worlds to come no matter what?"

"I swear" stated Charlie.

Inca took Charlie's right hand and placed a small badge of a sword into her hand, "To the fighting warrior, world guardian Charlie Williams the Warrior."
