The doors slammed open, the rain gushed in and the winds howled as Manizra waltzed into her crumbling castle, her red hair resting gently on her hips, her red eyes glaring into the corridor. The darkness enfolded round her like the force, giving her a cloak of protection. Stepping out of the rain, she pulled of the brown cloak she had been wearing and threw it aside, the droplets strewing over the floor. Grinning to herself she heard the clanking of droids coming towards her as they rushed to pick up her cloak and place it on the rack besides her.
"…Um excuse me mistress" from behind Manizra she heard the timid sound of a battle droid behind her.
"What is it droid" she said harshly, making the droid back of slightly.
"Count Dooku wishes to speak with you"
"Well then lets not keep him waiting"
"He already is mistress" Manizra turned to the droid to see it back of even more, reaching towards her belt she pulled of one of her curved lightsabers and ignited it, the red glow from the core lighting up her pale face.
"You'll pay for that droid," she hissed through her teeth. She raised her sabre into the air and was about to strike the droid down when
"Mistress the Count wishes to see you now" another droid came down the corridor. Turning towards the droid who had back chatted her she switched of her lightsaber and attached it back to her belt.
"You were lucky this time droid" turning her back towards the droid she walked down the hallway to the dining hall where as she entered a hologram of Count Dooku had his back turned from her.
"Dooku" she said, shoving her red hair out of the way of her face, her eyes fixed on the hologram.
"I have need for your assistance Manizra" Dooku said, turning slowly to face her, his grey eyes attempting to pierce her own eyes, all of which was failing miserably.
"That's Darth Manizra to you Dooku" she said, her anger flaring through her making her red eyes blaze out like a wild fire on Ryloth.
"And that's Count to you"
"What would you have me do Count" when she said Count, she spat the word out, spraying spit everywhere.
"How rude of you my dear. Perhaps I should set my assignment to someone else. I'm sure Ventress would be honoured to capture the Negotiator" after hearing that Manizra's eyes shot up, the Negotiator, Kenobi.
"That will not be necessary Count. What would you have me do?"
Dooku smiled, bearing his teeth making him look menacing and cruel. Though he was all those things and so much more.
"Master Kenobi holds some information on the Jedi Order that may become of some use to us. I want you to capture him, do whatever means necessary to get the information. But one thing." Dooku said, resting his grey eyes silently upon Manizra's lightsabers, to the floor beside lay the droid, who had back chatted her, lying in pieces, crushed by Manizra using the force.
"Don't kill him"
