Chapter 11 Isis came to her senses again and found Boba Fett sitting by her bed. To say the least she was surprised."Hey, how long have I been out?" she asked him. "For a few days" answered the child. Jango chose that moment to look in. "Boba, go fetch Dooku he said to tell him as soon as she wakes" Jango nodded at the young woman on the bed. Her face was all bruised and she looked horrible. "How long have you guys been here?" she asked. He walked closer to her "a few days, at Dooku's request" he stated calmly. What she was going to say next was interrupted by Dooku's arrival."Ah about time you woke we were beginning to get worried." Stated the man. He sat on the edge of her bed. She snorted she didn't really believe he had been worried. "Ah, do you mind Jango I would like a word with the lady alone please" said Dooku. Jango motioned for his son to precede him out the door. And closed it behind them. "Why do you believe that I do not care about you?" he said gently. He sounded sad but he could just be acting. She snorted, "Because I know your using us," she answered. "Of course we're using you everyone uses someone my dear" said Dooku "what are you after?" she asked. "I want you, I want to show you how powerful you can be" he said. 'Why?' she said. "Isis have you ever wanted something so bad that you dream about it?" he asked. "Yeah, but not on this scale" she answered "Isis I do, before I came here I was a part of that same corrupt system, I was a Jedi" he said, "so what happened?" she asked suddenly curious in spite of her irritation. "I lost faith so to speak I stopped believing and woke up to the lies, I found the truth they tried to hide from me, do you know where I found that Isis?" he said she shook her head no, and instantly regretted the movement ."I found it in the so called dark side, the places the Jedi denied me" he said "maybe they knew you would turn on them" she said he looked at the bed for a moment 'then they saw farther than I ' he said "Dooku?"She said "Yes, my dear and call me Magnus" he said. "Magnus, why me?" she asked. He paused for a few moments. "You my dear are unique in ways that I can only begin to describe" he said kissing her forehead. "I shall bring you more reading materials, for the next few days, after that you are to exercise those legs of yours and heal," he said "will you let my friends visit?" she asked. He smiled a wicked little half smile. "Only if you promise me you will do your work," he said leaning down to catch her mouth with his own. "Isis I have one more thing to ask you" he said "yeah, go ahead" she responded. "Why didn't you fight back, why did you let her do this to you?" he said. He put his arm around her shoulders. "I don't know," she answered. "Perhaps when you do know you'll tell me" he said "but for now she will not be coming anywhere near you" he said "heal sweetheart, I'll stop by later to check on you" he said. Two days later: Isis visited with her friends read book after book and caught up on news. Obi was still alive and Isis asked Kira to check on him discretly. The next day she was attempting to walk on her ankle. She hobbled around the base using a cane Dooku had provided. Asajj kept getting assignments so she was gone all the time. When Obi Wan's apprentice finally showed up. She was walking near the factory when she heard the unusual noises. She alerted two droid guards and silently approached the room. She came out near one of the control booths. The first thing she heard over the din was a woman screaming for help and then someone answered her from the conveyor belts. Isis glanced around and saw a woman in one of the smelter cups."Oh shit" she said out loud and started hitting buttons on the board trying to turn off the system or dump the woman out or something. She heard her scream then the system shut down completely. The smelter barrel stopping one bucket behind the pourer. "Padme!" yelled the boy "Anakin help! I can't get out" she heard the woman yell "hang on," he yelled back. One of the droids advanced on the boy Isis waved it off. "Let him rescue the girl first" she ordered, "yes Countess" it responded. Isis looked shocked for a second. But played it off. The boy got the woman down and she signaled the droids. "Surrender," said one. The boy responded by beheading it. Isis moved behind the woman drew her saber and held it to the woman's throat. "Surrender or she dies!" yelled Isis. The boy made like he was going to come at her. Isis jiggled the saber hilt. The boy stopped, glared at her in fury and then he surrendered. The droids took the saber and held them at blaster point. Dooku showed up a few minutes later. Ordered the droids to secure the prisoners and approached Isis. "I thought I told you no strenuous exercise my dear?" he said "I know Magnus but I heard all this noise and I couldn't ignore it what if they were sabotaging the assembly line?" she said. Dooku ordered the line inspected and ordered her back to her room. Instead of returning straight to her room she went to talk to Obi. She once again found him hanging in the center of the room. She now had an access card to the room however. 'Your moving up the ladder" said Obi. "I've made a few friends" she answered, "your Padiwan's here along with some girl," she said Obi groaned, "I take it that's bad?" she answered. He answered by swearing in some other language. "I'll take that as a yes" she said. "Where is he?" he asked. "The droids took him into custody" she answered hobbling more into the room. "Your hurt?" he asked sounding concerned. "It's a long story," she answered, "oh I see" he said she wondered what he really did see. "They plan on trying you for espionage" she said. He nodded as though he expected them to, she sounded sad about that. "I'm going to miss talking to you" she said, he smiled at her in response. She was so young, so sweet how did she ever end up with someone like Dooku. "I shall miss you too," he answered. Truthfully he would. He was beginning to really like this girl; he would have like to get to know her better. "They will take a few days to decide the trial details, they can never agree on anything," she said trying to sound hopeful, for his sake anyways. The Jedi saw right through her and gave her a wan smile. /by then I will have a way out of here for us/ she thought at him hoping he could hear her. He smiled at her one last time as she said her goodbye for the night. Isis returned to her room with a heavy heart and a sense of desperation. She hurriedly wrote a note to her friends and delivered it through the usual means. A few seconds later the paper was returned. Kira wrote (they put him in one of the room two doors down from Obi's) Isis sighed to herself. (We must find a way to help them) she wrote back again it came back this time with Chani's writing (I saw Dooku and the woman go into his office, he called her senator). That made sense obi had told her that his Padawan was guarding a senator whose life was in danger. But the boy brought her here, that made no sense. Unless it was her idea. (I'm going to talk to the boy, but the woman complicates things) she wrote back. (Not if we work together) wrote Petra. (How's your ankle?) asked Kira.(its getting stronger) she wrote back. Isis was still angry with them for their actions regarding Ventress. Though they took her chiding in stride, she knew they would have done it again. In a way she was absurdly grateful that they cared enough about her to risk the rule of three for her. (One of us can talk to the woman, and you've already talked to Obi) wrote Kira. (Yes but we need to let him in on our plans) wrote Isis (so this is a plan?) wrote Petra Isis giggled and made like she was slapping the mirror. (It will be) she wrote back. She could almost see them dissolving into giggles on the other side. (Night you sillies) she wrote then drew a happy face sticking out its tongue at them and sent it back. The portal shut down and Isis hobbled around the room getting ready for bed. She had just pulled her nightgown over her head when a thought struck her. The droid called her Countess; she was just now reacting to the shock of it. She walked over to the COM unit and dialed Dooku. A few seconds later Dooku's visage filled the holoplate."Yes?" he said sounding shocked by the call. He could see a distraught looking P Padme behind him. "What are you doing?" she asked he smiled wickedly at her. "Just entertaining our senatorial guest" he said trying to down play what she could see in the back ground he moved closer to the plate "that isn't why you called is it" he asked Isis frowned at him "no that wasn't why I called actually I had a question" she said "regarding what my dear?" he answered smoothly. "One of the droids called me countess, you wouldn't happen to know why, would you?" she asked. He smiled at her, yes he did know why. "But of course" he said trying to sound smooth. "Well?" she said impatiently waiting for his response. "It is something best discussed in person, dearest" he answered "very well I'll be right up" she said grinning at his look of dismay. "But I have company" he protested. "Oh nonsense, I'm sure the senator wouldn't mind another person in the discussion" she responded smoothly and before he could protest further she hung up. He stared at the screen dumbfounded for a few seconds, swore in the sith language and pulled his drawers back up. He released padme's restraints and ordered her to get dressed. Padme swiftly obeyed, silently thanking the gods for this girl's interruption. A few seconds later there was a knock at the door. Dooku answered it. The girl Isis walked in. she was wearing a nightgown and robe. She wore slippers and was walking with a cane. "Isis do make yourself at home" he said mockingly after she already seated herself. She was introducing herself to padme who took her offered hand. The woman looked un hurt to Isis, distraught somewhat but otherwise unharmed. "This could not wait until morning?" he said. He sounded irritated "oh I'm sorry did I interrupt something?' she said mocking his earlier tone. He glared at her in response, when he didn't do anything other than stare she said "well?" "Well what?" he answered, "Well, what did the droid mean?" she said smiling up at him. He sighed "Isis my dear this is not the time nor the place for that answer" he said She narrowed her eyes at him in irritation." Well I'm not leaving until I receive an explanation," she stated in a matter of fact voice. Crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him in stubborn defiance. He swore to himself again. Then he sighed "very well have it your way then" he said and crossed the room to the borough. He pulled a small jewelers case from the top drawer and walked over to her. "This is not the way I wished to do this," he said before going down on one knee. Isis was in shock, surely he didn't mean to? No way. Then he went to one knee and Isis found herself holding her breath. Padme looked equally shocked next to her, surely he wasn't meaning to, she was half his age he ignored the shocked looks as. He took her hand in his " Isis I know you barely know me but I feel like I've known you all my life, that life wouldn't be complete without you in it" he said he paused and Isis's eyes widened "will you marry me?" he said. Isis stared at him in open mouth shock. She didn't know how to answer her mouth was dry all of a was looking up at her in expectation. "Aah, um I, err wow! I difinatly didn't expect that" she said/ not in my wildest dreams anyway/he was looking at her in expectation, she glanced at Padme who shrugged at her. "I ah, Magnus, this is so sudden" he brought her hands to his lips."Oh Isis you have no idea how long I waited for someone like you" he whispered kissing her hands. "Can I think about it?" she asked "but of course, take as long as you need my dear" he answered. Isis glanced at the chrono 'well I should really get some sleep, I'll take the senator to her cell for you" she said smiling at him. He gave her a tight lip smirk "but of course" he responded, but she knew he was seething inside. Padme gratefully rose and preceded her out the door. Thoughly grateful for the rescue no matter what the source. The girl was quiet for most of the trip or at least until they were out of earshot. "Did he hurt you?" Isis asked. "No, thanks to you he didn't get past tying me up" she responded. The girl nodded silently. Padme could tell she was in shock. "Are you going to say yes?" she asked. The girl stopped and turned towards her she seemed to be thinking about it then she said, "I'm still thinking about it" she answered truthfully. "Please don't he's evil, and so much older than you" said Padme. Ironically though they were on different sides Padme felt for this girl. Almost like a little sister, and she didn't want to see her with someone like Dooku."Thank you for the concern, but I can take care of myself" said Isis. She punched in the code into the door and the panel slid back. Isis indicated for her to enter. The woman looked sad and a little scared. Isis wanted to cheer her up a little so she said "I'll talk to your companion, Anakin wasn't it?" Padme looked at her startled by her knowledge. "Yes, how did you know that?"Padme asked. "Oh, that's easy Obi told me" she answered. "You've spoken to Obi wan?" said Padme. "Yes of course" she answered. Padme started to say something more "my girl's will check on you and I'll tell Anakin that you are all right" she said and closed the door. Padme stared at the closed door uncertain what to make of her unexpected ally. Isis hobbled down the hallway; her ankle was starting to ache. She stopped in front of Anakins door keyed in her code and waited. The door slid open and she walked in. the boy was chained similar to Obi wan and didn't look at all happy. He glared at her when she walked in. She really hadn't expected him to be welcoming. After all he was a prisoner. "What do you want?" he asked in the most hostile tone she had ever heard. "Well I was going to deliver a message to you from Padme, but if you insist on being rude" Isis said and turned towards the door like she intended to leave .she got to the door before she heard him utter "wait" she turned and gazed at him impassibly. "I'm sorry for being rude, now what did padme say? "he asked. She walked closer "Padme asked me to tell you not to worry, she's fine" "in fact she's two doors down from you," she said calmly. The boy looked relieved. Isis eyed him closely relising for the first time how close in age they were. "That and your master Obi says hi, oh and how goes the rescue?" she said Ironically. He glared at her "hey he said it not me" she said waving her hands in front of her. He snorted yeah that sounded like Obi wan. "Yeah that sounds like something he would say, how do you know him?" he asked. "We've been talking off and on since his capture," she said. "You talk of him as if he were a friend," he said softly She sighed feeling totally frustrated by the whole mess. "He is, I just wish I could get him out of here before.." she sighed "before what?" he asked softly. "Before they execute him for being a spy" she said at last
