Title: Deception
A/N: This is my english class essay my teacher really enjoyed it we all had to write a personal narrative. The story is
very close to home I don't want to post the first version so I edited it and made it into a DBZ fanfiction and
it is a possible multi-chap yaoi ! enjoy my friends!
Warnings: Angst as usual
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ but I would feel so sorry for all of you if I did. ;D
I stood upon the crimson carpet in front of the open window a trickle ofrain hitting the palace walls. The silver liquid
staining the stones a darker hue. My un-gloved hand bared against the window leaving a
criss-cross pattern as violent as scratch wounds, red lines similar to the ones I see everyday.
I have been standing here for awhile now taking deep intakes of breath thinking of what is to come. Musty smells
leaked into the room from the outside world. My father would emerge from the mist in a couple hours. His arrival was
a joy for the others, but for me it's a time of anguish and withdraw. I reisent him for all the lies and deception he
has bestowed upon us. Leaving and escaping into the mist and manifesting back into our lives
as if nothing happened. A living ghost he flickers in and out like a
flame. The red lines I see is wasted blood symbolizing his upmost
absence and my hope for a brighter future.
"How long are you going to sit there?" my guard Nappa asked his
His black eyes always seemed to sparkle even with no color to them blinding me for almost a moment.
"There's nothing else to do until my dad gets here" I countered I flicked my
gaze back to the window running my fingers along the complicated
patterns.
Twisting and turning like wicked black vines I closed my eyes and
imagined a dead tree burning into the same pattern as the window design.
Inhaling smoke I turned and saw Radditz lighting a bitter cigarette in my domain. He smiled at me his deep
black eyes gleamed as bright as my guards. They Remind me of the sky endless black with only the rips of
stars lighting the way.
"Waiting for your dad"
"Yeah" I quickly replied in a monotone voice. He respects my dad so much
I don't want him to know how much he irritates me. I've always liked
Radditz he was almost like a brother his disappointment would be my undoing if he ever found
me out.
Finally,light broke into the darkness striking
us all like bright arrows Hitting our faces through the window. As if on cue my father made his entrance he waved
to the three of us and we all burst outside. I needed time away even if it was a few moments everyday the palace
seems to shrink. I am suffocated never having space always being pestered. Why can't they just leave me alone
I thought unaware that I haven't greeted him my father brought me out of my musings.
"Hi prince Vegeta ready to go" I nodded and gave him an unenthusiastic hug. He smelt
like sweat and blood from a battle but another scent lingered that I couldn't decipher.
I reluctantly followed along beside him as we took to the sky starting our usual journey.
Zoning out of the one-sided conversation he plagued on Nappa I studied our surroundings to pass the time.
Dark stains covered the floor far below making it look almost sinister. A sparse amount of
vegetation littered the forest floor. I took note of the awful smell making me lightheaded
'Blood' I whispered.
A slow throb started to put pressure in my skull. I winced at the up coming pain I would feel
increase later that day. I even started to feel a nauseating clench in my stomach
my father noticed the grimace imprinted on my face.
"Are you okay Vegeta?"
"oh I'm fine just tired is all" I nearly whispered.
The King ignored his concerned thoughts and went back to the task at hand. He
asked a couple more tedious statements about how we were doing and
what happened during our latest mission. But in the end we all gave up on
talking but I was thankful to see our destination my father had an important meeting I would do
anything just to relieve this tension.
We all landed and raked our eyes across the rain-soaked landscape. Sliver droplets bleed down the trees
rough surface racing to the end. My Dad guided us into the home of his elite political advisor Me,
my guard Nappa, and Radditz all looked around questionably.
"Stand aside while I take care of business" the king stated cooly.
I hated when he piped in at a comfortable silence trying to sound tough when in
reality my father was a weakling. To engrossed in his lavish royal life stealing money to fuel
his desires. The servant nodded to us to acknowledge our presence. Letting us take a seat he watched
with dark brown eyes glimmering with an intensity like we were criminals but in a sense
there was one among us.
Soon enough the meeting ended on our journey home I
couldn't help but think why he does this. Is he trying to make amends for all this insanity? No that couldn't
be it I tell myself. I think it gives him comfort to know he spent some amount of time with me before he left.
I can feel the lies he spews towards our people and every word makes me feel sick to some extent.
I didn't see him again until I saw handcuffs leaving horrible red marks around
his wrists. He was fighting for pity,our love, and his freedom.
A vast room was brought before us I shivered at the coolness the
feeling struck my spine causing me to shake. Rows of mahogany benches
all lined up perfectly in the court room. Looking up I saw a judge
sitting upon a large desk he was an older saiyan man with dusty pale skin and
brown-grey hair but his tail waved youthfully behind him. His eyes were like fire scorching those
who look into them I had to avert my eyes i'm not use to seeing wise elders. Their mere
presence leaves me feeling weak. But Beside him clad in sky blue prison attire sat my Dad. He reminded me
of a beaten dog pleading to his owner. In fact that's what he was a disgusted anger burned in the pit of my heart.
Looking over I saw my family most had masks of regret others were cursed with the symptoms of heartbreak as
hot tears slid down their faces. They know what his fate is I mentally whispered.
"Now let us begin" the judges deep voice boomed across the room
vibrating to even the back row of witnesses. Various crimes my father committed were reported treason,theft,and fraud.
Every word fueled my upcoming anger as I watched my shell of a father hold his head shame of his body
language helped me pity him for but a moment. Why was he so careless if he truly valued his kingdom he would
have stopped and taken his conscience into consideration. But he favored his demons and
gave them love.
"King Vegeta you are sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole"
and there it was my fathers last strike. The murmurs and cries of my family quickly increased I sneered angrily
at them how can they possibly show weakness.
"My son Vegeta!" he screamed with his deep scratchy voice large bulky guards pulled him into a
large wood door shrouded in darkness. My guard decided that now was
the time to retreat we made a slow walk to the exit I never once
looked back. I let out an anguished sigh in the hallway I never felt
so much hate my own tears began to spill.
"Where'd they take him?" Radditz asked. Nappa stared down the long hall and
ignored the inevitable question. We all looked onward and made a slow
exit letting them take my father to the darkest part of his mind.
Ignoring these emotions helped me find the closure I needed I now see through the deception. But I did realize the
undeniable truth that day no one will be there to sweeten the bitter reality. His sad destiny will always be intertwined
with ours giving it a domino effect. He shattered the pride I once felt I will never be fully healed from this
experience. Even the tramatic details haunt my dreams a presence to forever overstay its
welcome.
With him he has taken my hope in humanity and childhood. The only way it can be seen is through my faded
memory an animal in a cage. My trust is now gone it hurts to unbury the complexity of this pain but we are bonded
by blood and I cannot change that. With a secret promise I've lived up to this day is to never let a habit
consume you it feeds on your mind
and body. You defy all logic and do whatever it takes for one taste of
it. The inner demons steal away your judgement and you become a
stranger in the eyes of your loved ones. No one is born a monster but
with enough time to evolve we can all become what our fears deny to be
true.
This is an image I cannot erase a goal with no purpose he let me fall into this...this pool of blood.
Awakened by the screams the burning all to real we will never be sated an endless quest
an uncharted landscape can know one see the deception? but in a way we are blind towards the painful truth
because we will never want to acknowledge it.
