Forbidden Romance
Chapter 2
By: Lex

"Well, we were wondering if you would like to travel with us?" Asked the one that I thought was older.
I raised a critical eyebrow.

"Yes, that's exactly what we were wondering. I mean both my brother and I saw how all those men were
looking at you. And well, who knows what those kind of guys would do to someone like you." Said the other one.
I knew I shouldn't go with them, for my instincts told me that these two were just like those pigs in there but
then I didn't want to believe that. For one I noticed that their eyes both held innocence, and as I said before
they had a kind air about them.

"Where, are you going?" I asked.

"We are going towards a town called Fazine." 'Fazine?' I thought. 'I've never heard of it before.' So I
decided to ask about it.

"Where is Fazine?"

"Well, Fazine, is not a town know by many. It is far away from the palace and many other towns." Said the
older one. I wondered why they were going there but I kept my mouth shut.

"I guess I could travel with you, seeing as I don't really have anywhere else to go. But what are your names?"

"Oh! Sorry for us being so rude. My name is Son Gohan and this is my little brother Son Goten." He said
pointing to Goten. 'So, that is his name.'

"Hey!" Goten said obviously upset about the little part. I laughed and they both looked at me with a sheepish
grin. Then Goten's face lit up. "What's your name?" 'Oh no. What am I going to say? All right just think of a name.'
Then I came upon a name that was once a friend's.

"My name is Faith."

"Faith? Well, then Faith I suggest we get going." Gohan said. They led me outside the town to a tree where they
had tied up their horses. I saw that the only had two.

"Well, since we only have two horses I guess you can ride with me." Goten said as a small blush crept up on
his cheeks. I smiled but a small blush also came up on my cheeks. I was about to get up on the horse my self when
Goten asked if he could help me. 'They don't know who I am. In fact they have no idea that I can probably do all
of this by myself. The only reason why I'm going is because it will be more company and plus I get to spend more
time with Goten, All though I'm still puzzled as to why he enchants me so.' I thought. I wasn't ready when I felt
two hands about my waist and then feeling myself being lifted up into the saddle. A small blush appeared on my face
as Goten's hands lingered a little longer than was necessary. Then Goten got up skillfully, just as I would of done,
reaching up for the pommel and cantle, setting his foot in the stirrup, and then swinging up to hook a knee around
the horn of the sidesaddle. He sat behind me, taking the reins, which caused him to have to put his arms around me.
At first I didn't feel very comfortable sitting like this. My back was tense against his chest, and I wondered what
my father would say about me liking a commoner. We started to follow the waiting Gohan and we went on the dirt path.
Somewhere along the line I unconsciously leaned back into Goten's chest enjoying the warmth he was giving off. I
was still leaning back against Goten's chest when Gohan dropped back to talk to Goten.

"Goten, do you think we will make it in time?"

"Yes, and even if we don't, they will wait for us. After all we are the best they have." He said as he and
Gohan both laughed. I raised an eyebrow at the two and asked what they were talking about.

"Nothing important, Faith, nothing important." Said Goten. I looked up at Goten and into his eyes. I saw that
he was hiding something, but what? 'What did they mean when they said that they were best they had? Who had?' I looked
straight ahead watching the trees pass and then and there is when I decided that I was going to find out what he and
Gohan were hiding.

Ok, ok, I know. The dialogue was kind of bad but I tried. And I hoped you liked it anyway. And my thanks to
those that reviewed my last chapter. I really do appreciate it when you take the time to review. Anyway, later and
