Chapter Fifteen: A Confession
After River and Daniel departed River finished her stroll and ended up in front of the observatory room. She walked in and walked over to the window and stared into the depths of space. She started to hum a tune and then she started to softly sing but she failed to realize that a very irritated General had come into the room and stopped abruptly to listen to her sing.
I have been blind,
Unwilling,
To see the true love,
You're giving,
I have ignored every blessing,
I'm on my knees,
Confessing...
That I feel myself surrendure,
Each time I see your face,
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace,
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place,
I can't hide it,
Now hear my confession.
Grievous just stood there paralyzed by her voice; it was so soothing that it calmed him tremendously. River stood there totally oblivious that she had an audience and sung to her hearts content.
I have been wrong about you,
Thought I was strong without you,
For so long,
Nothing could move me,
For so long,
Nothing could change me,
Now I feel myself surrendure,
Each time I see your face,
I am captured by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace,
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place,
I can't hide it,
Now hear my confession,
You are the air that I breathe,
You're the ground beneath my feet,
When did I stop believing?
She repeated the last line of the song until it faded into a light whisper. After she finished she stood there thinking back on when Grievous had sung that song to her once.
"A very familiar tune, I think I remember some distant memory of myself singing it once."
When River heard Grievous' voice she turned around and stared at him in wonder.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough."
He put his hands behind his back and leaned down in a predatory state and walked up next her staring out at the vastness of space. She turned around and faced the window but not looking out it.
"I have to tell you something," she said without looking at him, he just stood there waiting.
She took his silence as permission to continue "When we first met again back on Kalee the time we had the duel I had a feeling that I was going to be afraid of you, and on the shuttle ride I was extremely afraid of you and have been since that day." she paused to let that sink in. "Even though I didn't let you see that I was afraid I was terrified. Ever since I went to train to be a warrior which I know that you know this too, I was told and trained not to show my mind through my eyes because it is dangerous to let your enemy know what your thinking. I had never been good at that, but after your shuttle crashed it became my protection. My mind was the only place that I could go and not have to worry about what other people thought of me. And I have been trying to train myself to show my emotions, I think that would help people understand me better."
Grievous was pleased to hear that she was actually afraid him, it made him feel more superior and stronger than her, but come to think of it he had always been.
"And when we met for the first time I had always had great respect for you, not only because you were to be my future chief, but because you were courageous and cared for your people and wanted to protect what you held dear. And I think that was the reason why I loved you."
Grievous turned to look at her but she was walking out of the room. He was too stunned to do anything; the only thing he could do was pull the picture out and look at it and try to understand that feeling or memory he did not understand. But a faded memory came to him, he was being wed to a girl but he could not make out her face but he could tell that she had long brown hair and eyes that could calm his greatest rage.
