Chapter one: Death and Rebirth

'How did my life get this bad?' Kara thought as she stared at the moon, standing on the roof of the hospital. The same hospital that her mother and father died in after a car crash when she was fifteen, five years later, after escaping an abusive boyfriend, Kevin, gave birth to an angel in that hospital. Only to watch her be sent back to heaven when, only two years after, Kevin found her, beat her, immobilized her, and forced her to watch as he violated and killed her two-year-old daughter, Angel.

The neighbors, as useless as they are, reported the disturbance and the police came before Kevin could run, and well, he is now serving life in jail.

'Ha! And after all those years I doubted the justice system.' She thought bitterly 'I hope he drops the soap.'

Kara sighed "Mama, Papa, my Angel why did you have to die?" she whispered as tears ran, one right after the over, down her face, her gaze still on the full moon. Kara lowered her eyes, ashamed at herself. "No. That's not the right question, isn't it, Papa?" She smiled sadly, remembering what her father would say whenever she would ask a question.

/"Always think about your questions and make sure to ask them the right way. Or you'll never get the right answers."/

"No," She started with her teeth clenched together. "The real question is: Why did I survive? I've lost everything-everyone!- that I loved; why should I continue to live with NOTHING!" Her cries grew louder with every word and she soon collapsed; her legs did not have the strength to support her as she broke out into heart-wrenching sobs.

After a few minutes she got herself under control and sat up to lean against the wall of a storage building. Glaring at the moon again, refusing to cry anymore that night. 'Why? Why did I survive?' She thought. 'In fact why did I try to start living again, you can't come back from the dead.'

Kara glanced at the knife that shined innocently at her by her side. 'I am dead on the inside; so maybe I just need to finalize my death.'

As if on autopilot, her hand picked up the small cutting knife and placed it on her wrist. Slowly, almost gently, she pushed the blade into her skin, mesmerized by how easily her flesh split apart. At first, the blood spit out at her angrily, some landing on her face and clothes, and then began streaming down her arm. Dropping the knife when it had served its purpose, she stared dumbly at the blood running freely from the open wound.

'It's numb.' She thought, tilting her head a bit. 'Strange, isn't there supposed to be pain?' Suddenly liquid fire burned painfully up her arm as she felt all her muscles tensed up. "Oh, there it is." She sighed slightly content.

Feeling a little dizzy from the blood loss, Kara leaned onto the wall of the storage building behind her as her world began to go dark around the edges. Just then there was a flash of gold light not too far from her, the gold light began to twist and loop into a giant knot like mess. When the light finally died down Kara could not help but gasp at the sight before her: Shenron, the eternal dragon!

'But…that's not possible! He's only real in Dragon Ball Z!' Kara thought, softly biting her lip. 'Maybe I fainted from the blood loss and this is all just a dream.' She was contented with that thought and made the movement to turn and try to sleep to her death, but the dragon had other ideas and started to speak.

"You have summoned me; tell me your wish so I can leave." Kara stared blankly at the dragon. "Leave?" She asked. "But you just got here. What do you want to leave for? You got something else better to do then watch me die?"

The dragon growled at her, causing Kara to smirk. "You know, you really need to relax. What you need to do is hold your breath and count to ten, you seem very tense." The dragon growled again and seemed to roll his eyes at her. "Your wish?" He said impatiently. Kara smiled sadly. 'My wish?'

"I wish…to go where I can be happy."

The dragon was silent for a moment, and then "Your wish shall be granted."

The dragons' eyes glowed red as usual then he disappeared with a flash that resembled his appearance, then the world became bright again. Kara looked around in alarm. "No…I'm still here!" Looking at her arm she smiled, it was still bleeding 'I'll die soon.' Still looking at her arm, she noticed something strange: the blood was flowing back in; not out and after a few seconds the cut was gone, completely healed!

"What the-!"

Then a third flash came, and Kara's existence in this dimension ended, with her new life starting in another.
