Unwanted fate

Abandonment...

Bulma's PoV

I rushed around the med bay helping everyone I could. We didn't have any senzu beans so u had to work with bandages and medicine. I sorted out the boys first, then went to Zeno, then chichi, myself and finally Goku and Vegeta.

Everyone was silent...

Suddenly I heard foots steps outside the med bag door. We all prepared, grabbing the nearest item to use as defence. Ara stumbled through the door way. She was blank. I threw the needle id picked up as a weapon on the floor. I ran to her and hugged her, tears flooding from my eyes.

"Ara! Oh thank god! My poor baby! I haven't seen you in so long! I'm so sorry!.." I said as I started to sob. Ara had no reaction. I calmed down and wiped away my tears. She looked at the floor.

"Now, let me get a look at y-" I was about to say as I held her head gently making her look at me. Her face was bloody and tear stained. A slut was across her cheek. Her eyes screamed help me. I let go, her head looked at the floor once more.

"Can everyone leave please? I need to give Ara a full examination" I said. Everyone nodded. The boys stood in front of Ara for a minute yet she refused to look at any of them.

Zeno stopped putting his hand on Ara's shoulder. "Hold on kid.." He said before leaving, making me and Ara the only ones in the room.

Gohan's PoV

It's been a few hours and we all weren't saying anything. We tried to ask Zeno about what they did to Ara but he didn't answer.

Dad and Vegeta were talking away from us privately and my mom was comforting goten who was freaking out. Trunks and I leaned against the wall together.

"Gohan.. I'm worried.." He said after a long silence.

"So am I.. The others won't be too happy either when they come back..." I told him. Suddenly I felt a hand in my shoulder grabbing my attention.

"Guys, you can come in and see her" Bulma said.

"Is she ok?" Trunks asked immediately.

"....far.. Far from it sweetheart " she answered.

She led us in and I saw Ara asleep in one of the beds.

"I had to put her asleep. She would let me touch her, if I even tried to would slap my hand away and growl as me like a wild animal" Bulma said.

I started at my younger sister. Her clothes were torn beyond repair, burnt up and bloody, folded up beside her as she was in a hospital gown. Bandages laced her form and a wet cloth was on her forehead. Her tail hung out of the bed, it didn't even move. The odd nerve twitch but nothing more. It wasn't even the normal brown fluff I was used to seeing. If was now closed of brown for mixed with dirt aswell as old and fresh blood. Her complexion was pale and sickly, her hair knotted and laced with dirt.

I felt a knot of guilt form in my chest. Yet if I'm honest out of all of us two people's reactions suprised me the most. Zeno looked at if he was dealing with the guilt of taking the life of something innocent, and Vegeta looked at Ara's unconscious body with anger, disappointment and the slightest bit of resentment.

My fist scrunched up beside me. It took all I had to not punch him as hard as I could.

Bulma sighed. "Well the good news is my dad somehow delayed the court and we are going to be able to keep Ara, for the moment at least. When she is done healing I'll send her to a therapist and see where we'll go from there" she said. Ara shifted in her sleep and growled in pain.
