Chapter 2
Freedom
The next couple of days were the best Sotika had, had in years. They all sat around talking about every thing and nothing. Though she'd expected it to be awkward for a while it wasn't for a second. All of Raddiz friends say her as an equal, a Saiyjin a warrior. Sotika sat in the living room with Meoke. He wasn't very tall for his age, he had the only normal hair she'd ever seen on a Saiyjin. As she sat there talking with him she couldn't help but think he was cute in a boyish kinnda way.
"So what's your story?" he asked her "What do you mean?" Sotika replied a little perplexed "Well every one has a back round. A past, it's what keeps us from mindlessly floating around the galaxy" he explained He sounded very serious, like there was more to this then he was gonna tell her. She decided not to push it. "I never knew my Mom because she died during child birth. That's why Raddiz hate me. since we were little he's been telling me it was my fault. My Father's name was Bardock and he and my brother lived pretty much happily on the planet Vegeta till I was five. At that time Raddiz turned 13 and left for training. Not that I was too disappointed he made my life miserable from day 1. This was also about the time my Father started the revolution against Frezza. One year latter that day came when they went to face Frezza and he killed them all. The planet too. Father had placed me on a moon a little ways off to keep me safe, but I saw the entire race destroyed by Frezza." It was more painful to remember it then she had expected. Not a day went by that she didn't miss her father, but reliving the whole thing caused an excruciating pain deep in her core.
"Frezza was the one who destroyed the planet Vegeta?!" Meoke said in disbelief "Well ... of course" she said She was a little confused. Wasn't it common knowledge? "He ... Frezza said that ... he lied he said it was hit by an asteroid." Meoke said still bewildered "WHAT?!!" Sotika screamed "I was there! I saw it happen why that son of a..." "what's going on?" Vegeta asked as he entered the room "Did he lie to you too about the planet?" Sotika asked still very upset "Yes but I saw threw it" Vegeta said remaining calm "Don't worry about it." Vegeta put his arm on her shoulder trying to calm her down. "He took your father and mine but we'll get our chance, don't be blinded by our rage"
The rest of that day was quiet blissful. Raddiz was still licking the wounds of his ego, so he didn't say much to Sotika. No loss on her part. They sat around and talked of their pasts and why they all hated Frezza. As Sotika stoped to observe the moment all she could think was "I'm finnaly free"
Tonight's our last night here" Meoke told her "Tomarrow we go report to 'Lord Frezza' again" He said useing quotation fingers "Really already? I'm gonna miss you guys" Sotika said the disapointment evedent in her voice "Why? Your comin with us." Vegeta piped in "Remember I'm responcable for you now not Raddiz." "Thank goodness" She thought
The next day seemed to come all too soon. She didn't quiet understand but she felt like she was leaving her home for forever. Even though Nappa said they'd be back here in two months. Every thing was just happening so fast. All the sudden she was free of Raddiz, and now she was on here way to becoming a warrior...just like daddy wanted. Sotika pondered all this as she packed her few belongings in a bag. "Hurry up Princess the ships are ready!" Meoke called from downstairs Sotika was especially glad to have met him. No matter how bad things got he was the kind of guy that would keep only one thing, a sense of humor. He was quite the optimist which was a nice change to her brothers cloudy out look on life."
Sotika hopped down the stairs. "Race you to the lawn. "Meoke challenged "You got it!" Sotika replied the to whipped around the corners and out the door. Meoke beat her of course but he was gracious about it, sort of.
There were four space pods lined up on the front lawn of the house were Sotika had spent every year since the blast. She suddenly choked. Panicky thoughts were franticly running through her mind. "I can't do this" she thought She swallowed hard. Nappa and Meoke hopped into their ships and blast off. Raddiz climbed into his as Vegeta walked out of the house. "I can't do this" she said barley concise of the fact that she was talking Raddiz began to snicker at her from the inside of his pod. "Hey" Vegeta said from behind her "this whole life is made up of experiences that aren't always easy. the trick is to not think to much and just do it." "I don't know if I can" Sotika said softly Vegeta picked up her hand. "I'll be right here. No one said you had do it alone." he explained Sotika was a little bewildered. She still wasn't quiet sure why he was doing this. But she trusted him, so she climbed into his space pod and watched the moon grow smaller and smaller. "We can do this" she thought
