"Mommy! Mommy! Look at the seashell I found!" Sarai said excitedly as she ran up to me, her voice was high pitched and sweet.
I knelt down next to her and looked at the white, burgundy-striped shell that she held in her hand for me to see. The colors reminded me of someone, but I pushed those thoughts out of my mind and smiled at her. "That's a pretty one isn't it?" I asked her.
She cradled it in her hands and stared at it as if it was the most beautiful thing in the world and nodded. "Yeah! I'm gonna keep it!" She said as she skipped towards the area we were using on the sand several yards away.
Goku, Gohan, Quorrin, Vegeta, Trunks, Cocoa, Luke, and I decided to go to the beach for the day to just have fun and hang out, Vegeta only came because he was bored... That's what he says. Cocoa and Luke had brought their twins along like I brought Sarai, their daughter Jenna, and their son Brant.
Jenna had brown, blonde-streaked hair that reached down to her shoulders with hazel eyes. She usually wears a loose, pale blue t-shirt and dark grey denim shorts that reached down to just above her knees. She also wore pale blue sandals and a light blue ribbon in her hair. Brant had the same hair and eyes as his twin sister, but his hair reached down to just below his ears. Brant usually wore a dark orange t-shirt, it's not loose or tight really, and grey denim shorts that reached down to below his knees. He also wore dark orange tennis shoes and a watch on his left wrist that had a leather strap.
I sighed slowly and stood up as I watched Sarai, she had found at least a hundred shells already and I was starting to think that a living animal was next on her list. I looked around the sandy shore, Vegeta was taking a nap in the sand underneath the shade of an umbrella, Cocoa and Luke sat on some towels in the sunlight a few feet away from him and laughing and talking. Quorrin was training offshore somewhere, no surprise, she practically lives off of training, and Goku and Gohan were off doing something somewhere, I think they said they were going fishing... Brant and Jenna were making a lopsided sandcastle next to the ocean and Sarai was skipping over to them to join them.
We were on a private beach too so there weren't any other people around. Josh wasn't here because we haven't had any contact with him in quite a while, it was like he just vanished off the face of the earth or something. We've tried looking for him, but with no luck, however, I wasn't going to give up until we found out what happened to him. I looked back at the ocean as the waves crashed onto the shore. Trunks had to leave for a business meeting at Capsule Corp about an hour ago, which happened a lot ever since he became the president of Capsule Corp, or whatever you would call the boss, a few years before Bulma passed away. But I'm not complaining, I did miss him while he was gone, but at least we had money to pay for everything.
I looked back at Cocoa and Luke, I'm sure they wouldn't mind watching Sarai for a while. "Hey Cocoa?" I asked Cocoa as I walked over to them.
Cocoa looked up at me, shading her eyes from the sunlight. "Yeah?" She replied, her hair was still reddish-brown but it had some grey strands of hair, Luke's hair was shorter and looked duller.
"Would you guys mind watching Sarai for a while? I want to fly over the ocean for a bit."
They looked at each other, then back at me. "Sure, we don't mind. As long as she doesn't get into a fight with us or our kids."
I smiled. "Don't worry, if she does, she'll get in trouble." I said as I walked towards the ocean. "Thanks guys."
They waved at me. "No problem. But don't stay out too long, it's supposed to be a full moon tonight." Luke said.
I nodded as I started to float into the air. "Don't worry, I'll be back before it comes up." I told them before flying into the distance.
The sun was still high in the sky so I had enough time to fly around and relax. To avoid Sarai or me from seeing the full moon at night, Trunks, Sarai, and me went to bed early and closed all the blinds so we wouldn't be able to see the full moon even if we stayed up really late. Yeah, we'd rather not have any giant monkeys running around and destroying everything.
I sighed slowly, smiling a little bit, and flew higher into the sky, spinning around as I did and soaking in the warm sunlight. I enjoyed the sunlight more than ever since we came back from Mykade, I still liked to see the moon at night, when it wasn't full of course, but the sun was the best of the two to me. I flew a little higher before letting myself fall towards the ocean, the wind whipping at my hair and clothes violently as I fell with my back towards the ocean. But right before I hit the water's surface, I quickly spun around and shot forward just above the ocean's surface, making the water fly up into the air behind me.
I flew right above the water's rippling surface, looking into the water as I flew over it. It was clear enough for me to see some underwater wildlife like fish, sharks, and seals as they swam underwater. I smiled to myself before looking up ahead and speeding up, the water parting around me as I flew by. Droplets falling all around me and drenching my hair and clothes pretty quickly as I flew by with a content smile on my lips and spinning around a little bit. But I lifted my eyebrow in confusion when I felt something tugging at my thoughts, something bad. I pulled up and floated above the ocean, the water settling behind me as I scanned my surroundings for something out of place, but there was nothing but ocean as far as the eye could see.
That was weird, I thought someone was following me... I thought. I looked up at the orange sky, the sun was starting to set, I was out here longer than I thought, I had to hurry up and get back before the moon came out. I looked around one more time before flying back the way I came. I'll come back tomorrow to try to find whatever was following me. I thought again as I sped up, water flying into the air behind me.
A/N: Trust your instincts Kiela. Here's the second chapter for Brother of Lies as promised. Someone's possibly following Kiela around while she's flying over the ocean, but who could it be? You'll find out soon, but not in the next chapter, in the next chapter, you'll find out how Quorrin's able to maintain her youth, spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with Shenron or Porunga. Until the next chapter guys!
