Twisted Smile: Chapter ten- Files
"Promise me you won't get hurt!" Bulma said giving Yumi a hug, tears on the verge of coming out.
Yumi chuckled, "I promise I'll try not to Bulma!"
It's been many weeks since Bulma, Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz had arrived back to the spaceship. Soon after, Yumi got drafted into a war between Freeza's soldiers and a planet called 'Gar'. She was supposed to return in a week or two, that is, if she makes it. She missed Yumi a lot and was nervous for her well being everyday. And over those few weeks, every argument Bulma had with Vegeta made her fall for him more and more each day.
Bulma lied there awake in her bed, afraid of having more nightmares of her best friend dying, she wasn't even the least bit tired because of her worry. She clutched her blanket closer to her chest and stared up at the ceiling, a frown on her lips and her eyes shining in sorrow as silent tears fell from her long lashes.
Bulma laid there for hours before deciding that she couldn't sleep at all, just like she hadn't been able to sleep for the past few days. She sighed before standing up and pulling on her shoes and walking down the hall to the bathroom. Once she got inside, she shut the door, and turned on the water.
She cupped her hands and filled them with the warm water before splashing it onto her face and sighing yet again. She looked up at her reflection and frowned. Her hair was getting longer and darker. It was now to her shoulder blades, and instead of a sky blue was a dark blue-green. And all of a sudden she wondered is she looked like her parents.
'Why was I taken here?' Bulma wondered to herself, and then decided, she had to know.
…
Breaking into the file room wasn't as easy as it seemed, especially when you barley know how to pick the lock with only a bobby pin, and it was even harder knowing that you had to go straight through Freeza's room to do it, but somehow Bulma managed to get in.
Bulma was quietly shuffling through the hundreds, possibly thousands of files in the small closet when she heard Freeza shuffle. She froze, waiting to hear if he was awake, but much to her relief, he continued snoring.
'Come on, come on, come on…' Bulma thought to herself, shuffling through the many 'B' files.
'Bardock, Brolly, Behem, where am I?' Bulma inwardly groaned, she couldn't find her file anywhere! After what seemed like hours she found it, 'Bulma Briefs'. A sly smile appeared on her face as she stuffed it into the side of her shirt so it wouldn't make a noise. She was about to turn the knob when something happened that made her heart stop.
"BRING! BRING! BRING!"
Freeza's alarm clock had gone off.
All color drained from Bulma's skin as she heard Freeza reach over and turn it off. 'HIDE!' Her mind was screaming at her, but her legs felt like lead inside the closet, her hand frozen on the knob. Suddenly, she widened her eyes and turned around, looking for a hiding spot, quickly hopped over a stack of tan folders and curled into a ball, hoping that Freeza wouldn't go inside the closet.
But luck was not on her side that day.
Freeza froze when he thought he heard something come from his file closet. His face deepened into a scowl as he walked over to it and threw open the door.
"Hello!" His nasally voice shouted, "Whoever is in here is dead, understand me!" He said, his white face turning red as he continued walking inside. His eyes surveyed the room and was about to continue looking when he heard someone yell, "Lord Freeza!" He growled before leaving the closet, and slamming the door.
"WHAT! DID YOU NOT SEE THAT I WAS BUSY?" He yelled at the shaking soldier.
"S-Sorry, s-sir, it's- it's just that the wounded soldiers from the war has returned, and I- I don't know what you want to do with them." His voice shook along with his body.
"What war!" Freeza yelled, "I have plenty wars going on!"
"Th-The one with Gar… sir." He said, "The second war. You currently only have two wars going on."
"Fine." Freeza hissed, "Show me where they are."
Bulma released a breath she didn't know she was holding as Freeza exited the room with the soldier. She counted to thirty before standing up and running out of the closet, and out of the large room, still clutching onto her file.
She shrieked as she ran into someone, leaving Freeza's empty room, and looked up in horror, relieved to only see Vegeta, and not Freeza.
"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING WOMAN!" He yelled and stood up only to release what room Bulma was leaving, "Bulma? Why were you in Freeza's room? And what are you holding- MPH!" He screamed, but Bulma covered his mouth with his hands.
"SH!" She shushed him and quickly dragged him from Freeza's entrance and to an empty hall way, "Are you trying to get me caught?" She yelled at him in a hushed scream.
"WHY WERE YOU IN THERE?" He yelled again, only to get shushed by Bulma.
Bulma looked up excitedly and held up her tan folder, "Look! I got my file!" She smiled, "Now I can finally figure out more on my past."
"You snuck in?" Vegeta asked stunned, He had no idea she had the courage to do it.
"Yeah, and he woke up when I was in there too…" She shook her head of the terrifying memory and looked up at Vegeta, "Please don't tell anyone!" She begged.
"Why shouldn't I?" He asked smugly.
"I'll do anything!" Bulma begged.
He smirked, "I'll remember that." He said before walking away.
…
Bulma was lying on her bed as she opened her folder, almost squealing in excitement as she began reading it.
Name: Bulma Briefs
Bulma Briefs was abducted by Troop #431 in the same year Lord Freeza destroyed Planet Vegeta. She was taken by force in Capsule Corp. on Earth while the troop was trying to get some technology her Father, Dr. Briefs (A famous inventor on Earth), was making. Bulma is still held captive so Dr. Briefs will send the technology willingly so Lord Freeza's troops don't have to continue to take it by force. Dr. Briefs is who invented the Healing chamber and the Laser-Taser gun as well as many other of the weapons on Lord Freeza's ship. Bulma is unknown to this information so she doesn't return home, if she did, Lord Freeza would have nothing to threaten Dr. Briefs with, and the technology he sends to them would be put to an end.
Bulma Briefs is a Low level warrior form being a weak human. She has little power, and even with training is very weak on her ship. She is very intelligent but that does not help her on the battle field, she is-
Bulma stared at the file stunned. She was taken by force so the ship could have weapons? Tears began streaming down her face as she reread the first paragraph again. Her Father was a famous inventor? Bulma had lived life for sixteen years oblivious to all of this. She shook her head and threw the file across the room before digging her face into her arms and sobbed. Just sobbed.
