Loving You, Never Losing you
Chapter 2: The Curse of Love
There was that sense of it happened before already in Trunk's mind. Why was he always so drawn to that girl? He didnt even know why he thought about. If he remembered correctly by his father's words, he was suppose to fall in love with a lady and by far, he was pretty sure, she was no lady, more like a old merchant's daughter.
Trunks had asked Goten about that girl, the raven haired girl. Goten had spoken to his Lord that the girl was a daughter of a renowned knight. The knight was retired and had lost his leg in a battle. Goten also told Lord Trunks that the girl had been missing for sometime already. It has already passed a year. Trunks was still thinking about that girl...
Early the next morning, Trunks woke up to yet another un-eventful morning of nodding with his father. Actually, this time his father spoke to him.
"Son, you know that time is drawing near. I know my life-span will not last forever. I have something to show you. If you kindly would, follow me," His father brought him to a room underneath the castle. Trunks was quite surprised by this room.
'Why haven't i ever noticed this?' Trunks thought. The room was a dark musty colour. Smelling of sour milk and wheat. Trunk's crumpled his nose as his nose touched the air. His father seemed unfazed by the smells and look of the room. Suddenly a bright red aura shown in the middle of the room. Inside that aura was a ring. A beautifully crafted ring.
Trunk's noticed his father's smirk, and was somewhat scared at what he was doing. Lord Vegita removed the ring from it's stand and ordered Trunk's to lay out his hand. Trunks did so and his father put on the ring.
A blast flew threw Trunk's entire body. Purple light shown from his veins. 'What the hell....?'
The next morning, Trunk's awoke on his bed. His memory from the other night was blurry. The ring. THE RING! Trunks quickly lifted his hand. Surely enough, there it was. The ring. It was made of brass and a single red jewel stood in the middle. He tried to yank it off. It did not work.
"Goten!" Trunk's yelled for his servant. Goten hurried into the the Lord's chambers.
"Yes Lord?"
"Try to get this off" Trunks said while waving his hand with the ring in Goten's face. Goten took hold of his hand and used all his might to release the ring from his hand. It didnt work. Goten's face was full of fustration.
"Gr.....where did you get this Lord?"
"My father...he...he put it on me last night, and i remember having the strangest feelings surge throughout my body and the next thing i know i woke up here, on my bed, with this ring."
"Maybe you should go ask your father to clear this up my Lord." Goten said, while bowing.
Trunks nodded and rolled out of his huge bed. His sheets were crumpled and Trunk's looked as though he was just run over by a carriage.
"Maybe a shower first..?" Goten asked, with a slight smile.
******************
Hurrying down the castle steps, Trunk's mind was on his ring. He was rudely interruppted by Hinasou. The girl who, to his displeasure, was probably the number one girl on his father's list to have him betrothed to.
"Oh, Lord Trunks! What pleasure it is seeing you here today!" Hinasou said batting her eyes furiously.
"I do live here..." Trunks said with dripping sarcasim. This girl lead Trunks to think about the raven girl again. 'Ah..the raven girl...Goten told me her name was Pan. Oh..Pan...'
"Your father told me wonderful news today Lord Trunks..." Hinasou babbled.
Trunks was out in space thinking about that girl...
"He said that we are getting married next year!" That sentence shot Trunk's concentration down.
"WHAT? How can he do that?" Trunks yelled furiously, "I need to have a chat with him!" And with that Trunk's pounded down the steps to his father's chambers.
Trunks bumbled in without knocking, "FATHER."
"What right do you have to have me marry that girl? What is this about this ring?" He asked waving his hands.
The elder was watching Trunk's.
"I guess i should explain to you now son," Lord Vegita sat down on his chair, "you are now in possession of the Curse of Love."
Trunk's face was with the word CONFUSED on it.
His father continued, "every man in this family has had it. Ever since 500 years ago, none of the men in this family ever found the one we loved. That ring you have on, it a helping figure, it leads you closer to your love, it sort of holds back to the curse a notch."
Trunks thought to himself, "no wonder my father has been a grude-head for so long..."
"What about my mother? Who was she?"
"Your mother was...well, she was my love. But as i had said, we can never have loves, so therefore, she died, right after your birth..."
Trunks stood in front of his father in total shock. But what about Pan? Isnt she my love? I know she is..even though i dont even know her! This curse is blocking me from her...i know it...
"I will not marry Hinasou.."
"You will do as I say. You must marry her. Do you not want children? You must have children in order to carry on our inheritence! You will marry her, understand!?"
Trunks gave him a evil glare. 'That will not happen...'
*************************
Pan sat in peace as she thought about her past events. She knew she was in love with the Lord. But she just couldnt admit it outloud. Two years had passed and she decided it was time to return, for she was sure the Lord had forgotten about her already.
Knocking on her home door, she yelled, "Father!!!"
The door was opened with a smiling father. "Pan?"
He hugged her quickly and brought her into the house, "Where have you been??? I missed you!!!"
Pan was very relieved to back also, she really missed her father alot too...
***********************
Pan was sitting in her house with Marron and her father. They had many things to tell her, since she was not informed while she was away.
"Do you know the Lord is getting married next week?" Marron said with a mean look, "i heard she's a hoe, but i guess he loves her..."
Pan's heart broke. "W-what?"
"Remember when we met him? Wasnt he just so wonderful...? Hinasou, his bride-to-be, is really ugly...i wonder how he fell for her..."
Pan didnt know what to say...
"Everyone in the land is invited to their wedding. I'm going, you're going too right Pan?"
Pan slowly nodded, 'Guess i could just see him one more time right...?'
MORE COMING SOON!!!! hopefully i wont get lazy again!!!!! ^_^
