(Last time on Forbidden Romance)

"GOTEN!!!!" I screamed. I saw them pick him up like a rag doll and then start to head back. I struggled like crazy
to get out of the man's hold but I could not. Tears ran down my face and I couldn't even see because my eyes were so blurred
from them. I soon felt the man picking me up and taking me back towards the palace. But we were heading in a different
direction then the others were. "GOTEN!!!!" I screamed one last time. My tears increased as I thought of what might happen.
'Goten. Oh Goten, how could this of happened! I love you so much! And I never want to lose you. But I think I might. Oh I
might my dear Goten. For the punishment you will face is death.' I hung my head and let the tears continue.

Forbidden Romance
Chapter 9
By: Lex

I had tried to fight off that guard, I really had tried. But I just wasn't thinking straight. My emotions had been
blinding me, making it so I couldn't think straight. We had soon got back to the palace where he brought me to my room and
put me in it, locking the door from the outside, so I couldn't get out. I had pounded on the doors, even had thrown ki blasts
at it but the door won't give. I mean you had to remember, with this being a palace full of sayains, walls and doors had to
be built so that one couldn't destroy them easily. Eventually I had given up trying to get out. Nothing seemed to work. My
body was tired and weak, tears still going down my face. I wondered at how I could have so many tears, for my pillow was now
soaked from them. I was now lying on my bed knees tucked under my chin and my arms around my knees. My body still shook with
quite sobs. I tried to stop crying but I didn't succeed. I then closed my eyes hoping to shut out the pain with sleep, for
oh, the pain was over bearing. It just felt like someone had ripped my heart to shreds and was now playing with it. I let
out another sob as I thought about Goten. I continued to think of him until I finally drifted off to sleep. But my sleep was
nightmare filled.

(In side dream)

I looked around. I couldn't really see anything.... Everything seemed to be covered in some sort of mist. I whirled
around looking every direction to see if there was anything there. I sighed in frustration realizing that I wouldn't be able
to see anything until something blew it away. I just stood there for about a minute when all of a sudden I heard a big
booming voice... "We are gathered here today to see the execution of a formal general...." 'That sounds like father.' I
thought .'And that general... could he be talking about Goten? What is going on? I still can't see anything!' I heard a
cheer and then all of a sudden winds blew the mist. Causing it to move out of the way. And 20 feet before me stood the
guillotine at which Goten was at. My eyes widened and I started running towards him. I then heard an ok from my father.
After that every thing seemed to move in slow motion. With a horrified look upon my face I looked at my father, who was
standing in the royal box. I then turned and looked at Goten, trying to focus on his face. When I did I saw the fear in
his eyes. I saw the executioner nod his head at my father and then I saw him reach his hand out to pull the rope that would
send Goten to his death. I screamed and increased my speed. The sharp blade started to fall, heading towards Goten's neck.
3 feet......2feet.....1foot.....5inches....

(back to reality)

Then I woke up. Flying up from my laying position to a sitting position. My heart was beating wildly in my chest and
I tried to choke back sobs. It was only a dream I kept reminding myself. Only a dream.... I laid back down and tried to calm
myself but how could I? I mean, that's what most likely was going to happen to him. I shook my head and tried to think of
something happy. No thoughts came to mind so I just closed my eyes, hoping to go back to sleep but this time into a dreamless
sleep.

*blink* *blink* I opened my eyes fully and then stretched in my bed. 'New day...' I thought. I was happy for a bit
but then the painful memories of what happened last night came back to me. I closed my eyes fighting off tears. I thought
about what Goten was going to have to face. I couldn't let that happen. 'I need to speak to my father.' I thought. He is the
ruler of this planet, so perhaps he can spare him. My spirits lifted a bit at the thought and I quickly began to change.
For I knew that I didn't have much time, for there was a limit. A prisoner had one day until his punishment was decided. 'I
better make this day count.' I thought as I finished changing. I grabbed my brush and ran it quickly though my hair. I then
threw it down and hurriedly walked to my door and opened it. I stepped outside of my room and walked through the palace
hallways. I was going to a particular room. The throne room. I knew my mother and father would be there. I soon reached the
room and pushed on the doors to let me in. The swung open and almost everyone jumped who was inside the throne room. My eyes
widened at everyone else in the room. I hadn't known there was a meeting going on. Everyone in the room except my parents
were looking me over. I began to fidget under their intense gaze. Then I began to hear whispers. I picked up a few of them,
they where just things like "So this is the princess and got involved with the general" "I don't see why General Son picked
such an ugly girl" things like that. I ignored them. They weren't what I was here for. I turned my attention back to my
father who looked annoyed. I began to worry, it he was annoyed he might not listen but I had to try anyway. "Father, could I
speak to you in private?"

"If you want to tell me something, you can say it in front of everyone." He replied back. I sighed knowing that was
what I had to do. Say it in front of them. I knew that was what he was going to say but oh well.

"Well, Father I came here to talk to you about Goten." I said. It was then that everything went silent in the room.
I looked around wondering why everyone was so silent. I saw the forlorn look on my mothers face and I started to wonder what
happened. "Mother what happened? Why is everyone so quite?"

"I'm sorry dear." She said sadly.

"What are you sorry about mother, father? It's not about Goten is it?" I asked worriedly. My mother looked at my
father and I saw sadness in bother their eyes. I then began to dread what they where about to tell me.

"It is honey." My mother started. "We are sorry princess, but Goten is on his way to the guillotine." My father
said as my mother hung her head. I shook my head no and then turned and ran out of the room.
