The Dreamer and the Half Breed [1st story in the series]

Chapter 3 past and present

I'm very happy with the way this story is turning out. Leave your comments on what you would like see happen maybe? I'm always open. And let's see what happens in chapter 3!

Kessa awoke from her sleep early. B.B was trying to decorate the room with her stuff to make her more comfortable there. Kessa smiled at her little droid and leaned up to stretch. "Looks nice!" She said to B.B.
"I thought you would like it! I have been requested to help get the minerals out of our shop today since its our ship they want me to help the droids here." B.B scratched his head. "It seems they droids don't have good aim and could hurt our ship. So I volunteered."
"Good thinking my friend." Kessa replied.
Kessa looked through her clothes. She loved corsets and even could work in them easily. Picking out a black short sleeve shirt, red with golden filigree under bust corset to go over it and last but not least a bustle skirt. The skirt was open in the front that flowed into a long tail. It was so nice to be able to wear what she wanted for a few days. Smuggling cause her to have to disguise on different planets. Look like sith, Jedi, even other things. But today she was Kessa full and through. Throwing her hair to one side and making it curl some. She was ready for today. 'I want to experiment today' she thought. The General can't be attached to me? Or can he?' Kessa started to wonder. 'He knows something about me I don't and I plan to find this out'
"Ready B.B.?" Kessa smiled
"Yes ready. Let's get started" B.B opened the door and they started the walk to their ship. Kessa could hear yelling as they where going down the elevator. Wondered what was happening. The elevator doors opened. Walked down the last hallways she could here General Grievous. He was very angry but what from?
"No! No! Stop! Do not start unloading with out them! Gahhhaa... Useless droids!" Grievous spat and with that a droid went flying into view.. Well more like soaring and landed on the other side of the cargo bay platform distroyed.
B.B halted and looked at Kessa. "Don't worry my friend. If he attempts to hurt you, he will get a full can of kick ass. You have my word." Kessa said.
They walked around the corner and Grievous was infront of Harlot and it seemed that non of the droids could figure out how the compartment opened to get the minerals. "Hello boys." Kessa said with a smile.
"About time. Open your Shhh.." Caught off guard as Kessa passed. The way she dressed and was looking today. He just stared at her.
Kessa with one run jumped up on her ship turned around to grievous, smiled. "Ship" she smirked. Grabbed a lever pulled it out, turned it clock wise and pushed it back in. The compartment opened on the back side of Kessa's ship. "Smuggling items, means you must make the very best to hold your items from getting stolen." Kessa said out loud. Then she leaned down and jumped down to the ground. They all walked to the back of the ship. All the minerals where escorted to another room by the battle droids. B.B. Did a great job commanding the others so the ship wasn't hurt. "All clear Captain!" B.B. Said to Kessa.
"Good. Just let me go in and close the hatch." Kessa walked around Grievous but figured she would invite him to see her ship closer if he wished. "You can some take a look inside my ship if you wish. It's nothing fancy but it's my only position I have other than my droids." Not looking back to see if he was coming or not. Kessa heard Grievous's talons across the floor as he followed, making her giggle a little inside.
The inside of Harlot wasn't very roomy but was enough for Kessa. Grievous looked around inside, it seemed he was looking at every detail of the ship. Kessa sat in her cockpit and closed the hatch. "I wanted to ask you something Grievous. I think you know about my past more than I do. I would like you to tell me what you can. If you will? Please." Kessa was looking at him. He still was studying the ship and not looking at Kessa. He walked over to her, he had his large cap on and looked enormous. He sat down in the extra cockpit chair and looked at Kessa.
"You are Kaleesh my dear. Your mother must have been a warrior as you possess her war mask. But you are not full Kaleesh as your features are not pronounced." Grievous said. He used one hand and touched the side of her face " your hooks are small but still there on your chin line. Only Kaleesh possess these. Your ears have points and most of all your eyes are golden yellow." He leaned closer to look in her eyes. Kessa was taking all this in and didn't mind his cold hand touching her face. She was finally getting answers. "Your eyes not being more reptilian as well shows your only half. But that would take away from your beautiful to have those assets as well." Grievous Spoke with a soft tone not harming in any way.
Kessa finally was able to ask her question. "Are you Kaleesh? Your eyes are just like mine." She leaned in even closer cause she wanted to look. See everything she could about them. Then she saw the scars all on his face plate also. She could see all the war he has seen. And all the anger that has happened.
"Yes I was. Nothing close to it anymore. My name was Qymaen Jai Sheelal." Grievous spoke to Kessa. Kessa heard of Qymaen before. Some how that was a word she new. "Your the Dreamer. Your name it means Dreamer doesn't it? I don't know how I know it but my dreams.. I was told The Dreamer was coming." Kessa was confused. She heard her voice as she said this and new he wouldn't believe her.
"Yes I was the Dreamer. Not anymore." Grievous stood up. Started to walk out of Kessa's ship.
"Wait. Thanks you. That means a lot you opened up and told me your past so I could know mine." Kessa said to him. Grievous stopped didn't turn around "What is your last name? You never told me." Grievous asked her.
"Necál. Kessa Necál. That is the name that was given to me by the family that raised me." Kessa felt like the General was lost. She could understand some of his issues for the first time. Interesting enough she felt for him alittle.

Fast forward a few hours.while Kessa works on the magnaguards.

"There last one is fixed B.B didn't take use to long." Kessa was tired but glad she was done. "These droids can kick by but sometimes." She propped then all up against the wall in the cargo bay. Kessa stood up and stretched real big. She looked up the cargo area at the other ships. She figured it wouldn't hurt to look at the others. Since she didn't have anything else to do. Walking up the area passing droids she waved at them and talked to a few to make her walk more comfortable. She finally reached the ship she wanted to see. Was smaller than hers. Looked like one seat cockpit. But the engine was very large for its size. The side of the ship was gray not very exciting she thought. And then she found the name of the ship "soulless one" she said out loud.
"You like it?" Grievous spoke behind her.
"GRIEVOUS! you scared the hell out of them!!" Kessa roared! "This your ship? It's very nice but a bit dull you think?"
"Only someone with a blue ship would say that." Grievous noted. And Kessa chuffed. "I was thinking if you would want to that is.. I could take you to your home world to see what it looks like. Kalee is a beautiful plant, This time of year."
"No way. Really? Yes!" Kessa started to jump she was so happy! "Taking my ship? We both can't fit in your ship can we?"
Grievous started to laugh "My ship or we don't go." Kessa looked at Soulless one for a second then climbed up the side of the ship. The cockpit was small. One seat to be exact. 'You got to be kidding me. I see what he is doing her.' Kessa thought. She looked back done to grievous and B.B. " what are you waiting for an invitation Grievous? B.B just enjoy yourself while I'm gone. I will be fine. Don't worry! Now I'm assuming I'm going to sit in your lap? So can I drive then?" Kessa smirked
Grievous opened the cockpit top, this ships glass slide forward so you could get into it. Very different than what Kessa was used to. Grievous climbed in and sat down. The ship matched him perfectly. After he sat down, grievous looked up at Kessa and motioned her to get in with his fingers. Not pleased with this idea and knew even as a cyborg he was just doing this to get close to her. Kessa did as she he pleased. She got into the cockpit. Grievous spread his legs so she had plenty of room to sit in front of him. "See two can fit in my ship, you were worried about nothing." Grievous said with a chuckle. The hatch closed back down on them to secure then in.
"Are you comfortable?" He asked Kessa.
"For the most part." she replied. Her back was resting on his chest.
Grievous turned the soulless one on. The engine gave a mighty roar as it lifted in the air. Grievous hold the levers to move the ship on each side of Kessa so she wasn't even in the way. The ship soared out of the bay with little effort. The ship was smooth and took no time to get distance away for the battle cruiser.
"I think my ship is louder. But over all we have the same taste in ships. I can't complain, it is nice." She looked up at grievous as she said this. He was looking out at the empty space then saw her looked at him he looked down to her as well. "I know you did this on purpose, you don't want me to know that you have feeling for me cause you are .. Well the most feared General in the galaxy." Kessa said still looking into his eyes.
"You are one of a kind you know. You cloud my judgment. I apologize that I'm so harsh." Grievous said but started again in a coughing fit. Kessa turned around to him laid one hand on his chest again taking a deep breath laid her head on him also. The coughing stopped and the cabin went silent for a moment. Kessa closed her eyes. "Let me know when we leave hyperspace. I want to see how beautiful the planet is when we arrive.
"Anything for you." Grievous said while they entered hyperspace.

So Kessa knows her past! She finds out the General isn't much a bad guy. Yes he is bad but what is he really isn't? Could it be by chance they met? Sorry again for any spelling mistakes, I will go back and try to fix them as I go.
