Yes I know for those of you who actually read this, this is a short update...I had pretty much given up on posting the rest of this. I've had this first part of the trilogy done for some time, and I'm working on the sequal...but sadly it seems you the readers don't review and when you don't review me as the author gets discouraged and pretty much doesnt bother about updating as much. So if you want more update's quicker then you'll need to review. Also I've been encredibly busy since I've started college and I'm involved in an AWSOME POTC pro-board.

Oh thanks BYLTK for the review I hope you enjoy reading this.

Chapter Eleven: An Intruder

General Grievous made his way through the many halls of his flagship the Invisible Hand, he was deep in thought. The previous day had been a downward spiral ever since he left River. He came to the door to the observatory room and walked in. He saw on the far wall a table with some lamps on and six dollies piled high with reading material, and there were various piles on the table and in the midst of them was a sleeping River. He slowly walked out of the room and headed toward his own.

River sat up and stretched as soon as the door slid closed. She got up and walked out of the room, she looked down the hallway and saw General Grievous turn the corner.

Oh great I hope he was just walking by and hadn't just left the observatory room. "Oh well if he did he, there's nothing I can do about falling asleep half way through the second box." she said aloud to herself.

She decided that she would hunt down breakfast and go report to Grievous, but first she needed to freshen up.

When she was outside her bedroom door she stopped a droid that was passing by and told him to go get her breakfast. She went into the bathroom and washed her face then went back into where her bed was and went over to the mirror and brushed her hair and let it hang down. She put on a grey skirt and a ivory long sleeved peasant shirt with black embroidery on it. She didn't want to wear her cloak so she put on the belt that he father gave her and put her four lightsabers on it. After she ate her breakfast she set off to find her master.

General Grievous was wandering aimlessly around his ship when a droid came up to him and said:

"Sir there is a Jedi intruder in the storage bay."

After Grievous heard this he took of running hunched down in a predatory stance. When he entered the storage bay he didn't see anything but heard the faint rustle of robes.

"Come out and fight you Jedi scum of a coward," he said in a hiss. He said this to make the Jedi angry and come out of his hiding place.

It worked.

"I'm not the coward it is you who are the coward," he said coming out from behind the pile of boxes beside Grievous with his saber ignited.

"Haa, all Jedi scum are the same, when their threatened they run and hide, and when they aren't they think they can waltz right in and take control." Grievous said this as he drew out two sabers and ignited them.

He started to circle the Jedi and then he lunged. He didn't expect much of a challenge from the Jedi and found it easy to dish out more than his share of attacks and he hardly had to block any from the opposing side. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a slim figure walk over the thresh hold and stand there watching. He knew without seeing the face that it was River.

"So you have a prisoner," scoffed the Jedi.

"No actually she is my apprentice."

He used so much force in his lightsabers that it knocked the already shocked Jedi to the floor and so end his life. Grievous kicked the lightsaber away and shredded what remand of the body, then he walked over to the lightsaber and picked it up and added it to his collection.

River didn't seem to notice what had just happened, in fact she appeared not to feel sorry for the scum but seeming she hated Jedi just as much as he did, at least they had something in common. He walked past River and started to walk aimlessly again, and River followed in silence waiting for him to say something.

River finally decided to break the silence that wasn't unnerving but was kind of strange.

"Sooo where are we going?"

"We?"

"Yeah we, I can tell when some one is going nowhere in particular."

"We aren't going any where, and why are you following me?" he said looking over his sholdier.

"Because I thought that you would like it if I came and reported my doings of yesterday after our lesson."

"Then why aren't you reporting?"

"Because I thought you wouldn't appreciate it if I started rambling without you saying that you wanted me to report."

So she was actually thinking about how he felt, very interesting.

"Very well then, report."

"Well for the research that I'm doing on the droids is going great even though there are six big dollies piled high with reading material and I'm on the second box on the first dolly."

"Then I suggest that you continue reading."

"Yes master."

When they came to the next intersection of hallways she veered off to the left and he to the right, and they went their separate ways.

Hmmmm...might there just be more than a master/apprentice relationship going on I wonder?

R&R please
