A seething, sharp pain spread through her head as her eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the darkness surrounding her. Small, muffled voices were audible through the dim halls of what appeared to be a musty tunnel of some sort. Her nostrils could easily tell.
She gulped, cringing at the horribly sour taste in her mouth, which told her she had been asleep for some time. Her tongue was screaming for her mother's conveniently over-sugared lemonade. At the thought of her mother, the sudden realization that she wasn't anywhere near home came over her before her instincts kicked in and she let out a bloodcurdling scream.
The quiet whispers had immediately ceased and thunderous footsteps were echoing the halls, sounding closer with every millisecond going by. She could already hear the exaggerated huffs of breath from whoever it was hurrying to her aid.
Out of nowhere came two guards in some strange space attire with expressions of alarmed question. They both were incredibly muscular and burly, one with fiery orange hair that parted into two clumps and a beard, the other with jet black spiky hair, a thin moustache .
"What in the blazes of HFIL is going on here?" the orange-haired boomed, both of them looking around for the source of the scream. She wanted to cry and run and scream, but didn't make a sound; she was afraid for her life.
"Okay, if you don't speak up, you damned little intruder, then we'll send you to the next dimension and beyond, ya got that?" The jet balck-haired had shouted, startling her with his volume. Now she had no choice, she had to present herself some way, but how could she do that without sounding incredulously stupid and weak?
But before she cold make her introduction, a slightly perky but definitely cocky voice inquired the two from the door-lacking entrance of total blackness,"What do you two idiots think you're doing?"
Almost immediately at the sound of the inquirer's voice, they gained back their composure and started sweat immensly in trembling discomfort in this person's prescence.
"Uh..well..-"
"Do not address me, Prince Vegeta of all Saiyans, as 'uh' or 'well'! Do you comprehend my commands, Gerdre?"
"Yes of course." Gerdre's voice was much clearer now.
"Now go on, I haven't all moon to deal with this drivel of yours."
"Yes, Blyther and I were most patiently guarding when a sharp scream suddenly ripped from the darkness of these halls. Alarmed by this, Blyther and I ran down these halls, this room as our estimate closest to the source of the scream emitted from. We looked around but-"
"Enough." The smug voice said curtly.
"-me and Blythe just couldn't see-"
"Are you deaf Gerdre'?" The voice was surprisingly calm.
"-Ahem, no."
"Would you like to be?" Now it was mockingly sweet.
She saw him gently shake his head,"No, my lord-"
"Then I suggest you shut up!" Now he looked like the Hulk, save green.
She laughed absent-mindedly at this, stopping herself abruptly when she heard herself, knowing it was too late anyway since all three of them stared with the same look of startled shock. That is until the shorter one with the large flame of dark hair curled his lips into the most devious smirk she had ever seen. It was intimidating to her, but also quite intriuging. Too intruiging.
"So, you two weren't being total imbeciles as usual this time..."
The one they called Gerdre' burrowed his brows in confused accusation,"When was it that we were, master?"
"Are you questioning my judgement?" He snapped at him.
"N-no, master but-"
"Because I know you are aware of such an unloyal act's dire consequences..."
"Yes, of course master. I am silenced."
"Hm. Convenient. That condition should not be changed."
"Yes, my lord."
The short one then shot a cold glare at Gedre for his response.
The black-haired one they called Blyther suddenly blurted, pressing a green, blinking contraption on the side of his face,"Hey! That stupid bitch has gotten away!"
The Prince scowled, growling deeply at the two,"You damn idiots, if you two weren't being such impediments this wouldn't have occurred!"
"No disrespect Prince, but we were not hired as infant caretakers, we are here to insure the maintenance of the bulding-
"Silence! Search for her ki! We must find her!"The Prince shouted before his departure, his royal cape swerving in the breeze of his abrupt exit.
"Hmph. No wonder we couldn't find her in the first place, her ki is lower than the boxes of this room,"Blyther grumbled, sneering at the inconvenience of doing the Prince's dirty work.
"Exactly, and why the hell is she so damn important? What about us, huh? Where's the attention we deserve?"
"Shh, the Prince's ki is approaching. Act as though we've searched mercilessly," Blyther instructed seconds before the Prince had landed.
"Any signs?"
"None so far, my lord. She must be pretty clever. Um, may I ask something master?"
"What?" he snapped.
"I-is the girl...is she intended to be your mate-"
"Of course not ! You are a blubbering idiot if you could even entertain such a revolting thought. Her only reason for existence here is for an evaluation. An orchestrated species examination of the highly sought after planet 'Earth'. Now are you finished standing around and chattering like complete idiots?!"
"Yes." They both replyed in a gulping unison.
"Good. Find the girl, and bring her to me. Alive."
With that, the almighty Prince had gone off, leaving the two guards grinning at the excitement of the cat and mouse operation.
