A/N: Hello! This another beginning for a story inspired by Nightwish's song Over the Hills And Far Away (which one of my absolute favorites!) The lyrics kinda tell the story/prologue so don't dare to skip them! Though I had to change the lyrics a bit in one place to fit the story. By the way, this's gonna be G/CC fic! Italics are lyrics!
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, the band Nightwish or the song lyrics nor the title. They belong to their respectable owners not me!

Over the Hills And Far Away: Prologue
by Kinoha
000000
Breathing vaporizing in the coldness... shivers running down his spine; his cold and clammy hands hugging his knees tight to keep warm from the coldness. He missed the warmth outside world had and offered freely. It had been so long time ago since the sun had last caressed his skin... almost ten years...
They came for him on winter's night
Arrested, he was bound
They said there had been a robbery
his pistol had been found
" I didn't do it!" Whisper to the emptiness, to deaf and unbelieving ears... the eyes so cruel; laughing at him with malice...
They marched him to the station house
he waited for the dawn
And as they led him to the dock
he knew he had been wronged
"You stand accused of robbery"
he heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom
Another raspy breath sounded as his temper rose. Just wait! Just wait! I will come and rise again! The truth will surface.
Over the hills and far away
for ten long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and the seas
a prisoner's life for him there'll be
Bread and water. He had lived with only bread and water nearly ten long years. Taking the blame. Framed; disgraced; knowing; not believed.
He knew it would cost him dear
but yet he dare not say
Where he had been that fateful night
a secret it must stay
Burning inside... the old flame had not died; only increased in volume and passion in the confinement he had endured for so long. Small smile grazed his sunken yet still handsome features. He had something that he could never have... the smile turned to a smirk.
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his greatest nemesis
he spent his final night of freedom
Nothing could stop him when the time would come. The war that raged on in outside world he had been banned from was small conflict compared to the hate and rage that brewed inside his soul; the yearning for righteousness. The injustice and plot done to him undone.
Over the hills and far away
he swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and the seas
back in her arms he swears he'll be
Over the hills and far away
His most treasured possession. A letter from her with a secret she cannot say aloud even to him, in fear of discovery; bad things to come. He wonders every night and day, hopes and wishes for her, for himself.
Each night within his prison cell
he looks through the bars
He reads the letter she wrote
One day he'll know the taste of freedom
The day's almost here. The day when he will step outside. Receive his clothes and pistol that was the cause of all his sufferings. No, not his prized pistol; the one who really used it as a blame. Him. It would be his turn to laugh and let the bastard taste the bitter coldness and rotten food; experience prison a he should have in pace of himself.
Over the hills and far away
she prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
back in his arms he swears she'll be
And the day finally came...
Over the hills and far away
he swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and the seas
back in her arms he swears he'll be
Over the hills and far away...
"ChiChi..."
Over the hills and far away...
