It's been three years since Ara defeated Rayne, since then our world has been at peace. We are both 14 now and life couldn't be any better. But..lately I've noticed Ara disappearing in the middle of the night, and returning before we all wake up, co...
I put on my weighted clothes and stretched. Much better.
My tail flicked slightly. I glanced back at the window. It was gone.. Typical.
I rubbed my eyes tiredly. My cheek still stung from yesterday.
"Ara! Come to the kitchen for a moment would you?!" Mom yelled no growled but did as I was told. I brought my knife with me and did tricks with it in my hand.
"Yeah mom?" I asked.
"Trunks and I will be out for the day. I was going to bring you with us but your sick so I can't. Also I got you some medicine" she said taking out a needle. I didn't have a fear of them but I still didn't like being poked at like a test subject.
I pushed it away. "I'll take it when I need it. I'm good for now" I told her with a 'smile'.
-your gonna regret that kid..- Bardock told me.
-Bardock now is not the time. I'll talk to you later but I really don't want to hear your voice right now...- I answered making him go away. Great..now I feel like an ass.
"As I was saying your father has agreed to mind you" she told me.
"Great..." I muttered sarcastically.
My mom sighed. "Mom? You coming or not?" Trunk called from the front door.
Mom hugged me and kissed my cheek. I have an annoyed/embarrassed huff of breath.
"Be good ok princess?" She asked. I muttered yes and she left.
I glanced at dad and glared as he was smirking.
"The hell are you so damn smug about?" I asked.
He didn't answer me. I growled. He turned around and went to the window.
I glanced at a plant mom had in the house. I smirked. I went over to it and dig in the small dirt till I found a worm.
This'll be good.
"Hey dad?" I asked as I walked over to him.
"What?" He asked in his usual irritated tone.
"Look what I found !" I said happily showing him the wrong. He screamed.
"Get that damn thing away from me!!!" He yelled flying out of the window. I laughed fallowing him.
"Nope!!" I flew after him.
I laughed happily as I chased him. Suddenly I lost him. I landed in a forest near the wasteland.
"Dammit.." I muttered under my break. I dropped the worm.
Suddenly I saw the butterfly again. That damn thing was fallowing me everywhere.
I glared at it slightly. Suddenly a boy came out from behind a tree. I looked at him curiously. He looked my age and familiar I'll admit.

He was injured.
"You ok bud?" I asked him.
"Why?.. I thought we were friends ara.. Why did you forget me?" He asked.
"W..what?.." I asked. The butterfly landed on his finger and he came closer.
"You don't remember anything after the butterfly do you ?.. I guess to can thank your uncles for that" he told me.
"What? I don't know at your talking about " I told him as I backed away.
"I don't even know who you are" I said.
"I'm your best friend....I stood up to Jake and his goons, I told the teachers about them.. I brought your big bro into the picture" he told me.
I now had my back to a tree and he was right in front of me. His face was a few inches away from mine and I felt like I was loosing every bit of power I had. My legs were about to give it.
He stared right at me with his big blue eyes. His bloody hand came up to my face and stroked my cheek where my cut was from yesterday gently. He was studying me. My heart was beating so fast I could hear it.
I felt his other hand go to my shoulder and feel my large scar through the fabric. He then moved to my hands. He held them as if they were to shatter in a moments notice. He pulled off my gloves and traced over the scar on my wrist form Jake. Then I felt his fingers trace over multiple parts of my palms. That was where my cuts once were. But how did he-
He suddenly put my gloves back on and looked my dead in the eyes. Weirdly I wasn't terrified but confused.
"You aren't dead..on the outside atleast" he said. Suddenly I heard dad calling for me.
The pain returned to my chest. I saw the boy look very worried but leave.
I saw dad land in front of me and then everything went black as I felt my world collapses around me.
I opened my eyes to see I was in a dark room. Oh great.. This again..
"hey kid, miss me?" A voice asked. A hand was extended to me. I looked up to see Bardock. I got up and hugged him.
"I'll take that as a yes" he told me. I stopped hugging him and smiled.
"Wait.. I blacked out again didn't I?" I asked. Bardock nodded. I cursed under my breath and he laughed.
" I hate this.." I muttered.
"I'd think so, your burning up kid" he told me.
I sighed. "Kid I've got to go, I'll talk to you later ok?" He asked.
"Fine.. Tell the King and your team I say hi!" I yold him. He nodded.
Suddenly I woke up. Ow... My head was killing me. Was that just a nightmare?
I felt something warm covering me and something cold placed over my forehead. Something, a bandage maybe, was wrapped around one of my arms. Also someone's arm was around me protectively. Was I still in my bed?.. I wanted to move but I felt safe.
I opened my eyes tiredly and saw mom standing in front of me.
"Hmm?" I hummed curiously.
"Hey sweetie, how are you feeling?" She asked in a hushed tone.
"Sore..." I answered.
"Wha..piss off woman"I heard a tired voice from behind me say. I glanced back and saw dad was the one holding me...huh..this is new.
"Shut up Vegeta.." Mom muttered taking a wet cloth away from my head and putting per hand to it.
"Good.. Your fevers gone but your still a bit flushed" she said to herself.
I smiled. "Mom I'm fine.. Just a little sore" I told her.
And image of the boy from earlier flashed by mind.
"Just get some sleep hun. I'll be in the lab with your grandfather if you need me" mom told me kissing my forehead and leaving.
I felt dad hold my tighter. I laughed a bit. I may aswell take a nap right?.. What harm could of do.....
