Author's Note: Okay, a little nervous here. This is basically my first post onthe site, although it isn't my first work. I'll leave it up to the reader to guess who the character is. It's easy though. And please review!
Tormented
By CiaraO
A small figure leaned limply up against the dark cell's wall. Usually the boy's head was held high in defiance and superiority, but now his chin hung so low it touched his chest.
"I'm sorry father . . . I'm sorry. I failed you. I failed everybody. They were all counting on me, and all I could do was stand there, and watch like a fool." He sniffled slightly, and bit his bottom lip, as if to suppress any further thoughts on the matter. He shouldn't be talking to himself like this, it wasn't normal . . . although he found himself doing it more and more often as the time went by. Loneliness was what he felt, an over-whelming, empty loneliness that was driving him insane! Was there no escape from the pain that he was feeling? Would he ever escape his inner turmoil? Could he ever chase away the inner demons that haunted him in his nightmares?
He did not know, but the child prayed for his sanity. Tears brimmed the edges of his dark eyes, threatening to spill over and fall slowly down his cheeks, but he would not let them. He would not let the others have the satisfaction of seeing the most powerful son of the proud King Vegeta, the King of all Sayains, cry.
They would pay, every last one of them would suffer for what they had done, he vowed.
Yes, I know, I know. Extremely short. I'm quite fond of it though. Please review, I'd love to hear your opinion!
