Disclaimers- You and I both now I don't own dbz. And remember, Resely
is not my character. She belongs to senzubean. The other characters
came from my own crazy imagination. Scary, huh? Now, on with the
story......
**********************************************************************************
I stumbled out of the door. Brok just laughed. The little wuss. He
can laugh in my face, but then gets scared whenever I'm was about to
kick his ass. But then mother would hit me for trying to hit HER son.
She didn't even consisder me to be her daughter. Just the object she'd
take her anger out on.
I used to always wonder why she hated me so. But when I met Resely,
I never would have thought she would be the key to my personal
mystery, my light in the darkness I had grown to know.
Mother swifty picked me up and held on to my arm tight. " Your
going to regret that you ever tried to outsmart me you little brat.
You won't get out of this one, and I'll make sure of it, I promise."
I kept my face downcast, looking at my dirty bare feet. She had
denied me of that prevalige long ago. Told me what was the use of
putting shoes on trash. My stained white shirt had become to small for
me a year ago. My green shorts were the only thing that fit.
Meanwhile Brok and Lettice were wearing tredy armor and had enough
clothes to give away to whole orphanages! It made me wanna puke. Even
though Lettice used to give me clothes. But everytime she did, Mother
find them and accuse me of stealing them from her. So now, anytime she
gave me something, I'd just dispose of it. I didn't think I desevered
it anyway.
There was only one object that had never left my side. It was a
little silver locket that played a song that Resely's mother would sing to
her at night to put her to sleep. I always kept it hidden under my cot
so no one could take it away from me. Squaline, Resely's mother, gave
it to me because she said that she thought of me as a second daughter.
I almost cried when she told me this. And when I can't sleep at night
or start losing hope or wishing I was with Resely, I'd look at the
picture of me and her in the locket and listen to it's soft melody
until I fell asleep. That locket was my most precious treasure. My
only treasure.....
As we moved through the woods, I was becoming more nervous by the
second. About 30 minutes into the walk, we passed a gaint tree stup.
My face turned pale."He wasn't bluffing." I thought to myself. He knew
the way to Recely's house. Luckily, Lettice said that she had to go
pee, so we stopped. Brok walked over to me and stood right in front
of me. He was so close, I could feel him breathing on me. Then, he
smirked.
"Look how pale you are. That's right Kumber. I found out your little secret.
How long did you think you could hide it? I mean, you even left your
evidence." Brok crossed his arms leaning back on a tree. "Well, I
managed to keep my secret from you for a while, didn't I?" I said
crossing my arms now smirking my head off. Brok looked ticked at this.
"I've known for the last 6 months." I couldn't stop my mouth from
falling. " Your lying. If you knew that long, why did you wait until
now to tell?" " I had to make sure of myself first. And since it
turns out I was right, your going to fry!" Brok squeeled happily
running to catch up with Mother and Lettice who were now far
ahead of us.
I really wanted to trip him, no, strangal him, but stopped myself.
I still wondered how much he really knew? It wasn't Resely I was
worried about. It was Cabbo. Did he really know about him? Did he see
me when I had first snuck Cabbo over there so Resely's mother could
take care of him?
It didn't matter now though. I knew what mother meant when she said
this would never happen again. Did she even know that I had seen her?
What she meant was that I'll be 6 feet underground. And I was so not
going to let that happen. I started plotting out my plan as I was
now harshily dragged by Mother with Brok, the little snich leading the
way.
By the time we got to Recely's house, I had already devised the
whole plan in my head. Recely's house was about the size of my
hell home. Only 2 floors, top floor, and.....a basement. They also
lived deep in the woods like us. Where no one could here your screams.
Mother jumped onto the porch and knocked on the door loudly. I cluched
the locket in my pocket tightly for good luck. I was glad I had took
it with me. " Can I help you?" Mother looked down to see a boy with
huge gray eyes and black hair. Cue; Resely's older brother, he was
9 years old. I had always kinda had a crush on him. Me and him were
only 3 years apart. I could dream.
"Yes, you can my dear." Mother swooped down on one knee and stood
face to face with Cue." "I'd like to speak with your mother if that's
alright with you?" she said to Cue innocently. "Well, I don't know..."
Cue stated looking at Mother hesitatly. Mother's sweet smile quickly
transformed into a nasty snarl. " Get out of my way." Mother rudely
pushed her way past Cue and into the house.
"What's going on here?" Squaline yelled walking into the living
room holding a baby in her arms. She stopped dead in her tracks
when she saw my mother.
"I told you so mother." Brok told mother cooly walking in with
me, Cue, and Lettice behind him.
"I didn't know we had guest." said 8 year old Resely boucing into the living
room. "Hiya Kum- it's you." Resely coldly murmered to my mother;
her eyes in little slits.
"Yes, it's me. The one and the only." Mother said grinnly evily at
Resely. "You got that right." Squaline said stepping up toward
Mother.
"Let me just get straight to the point." Mother stated losing her
patience. "What the hell are you doing with my child?" Mother
looked at the baby Squaline held in her arms. Baby Cabbo looked
over to mother and then Squaline who he clung to even more tightly.
"Being a mother to a child who's own flesh and blood threw him away
like trash. Atleast the daughter that you hurt so isn't the monster that
you are after all that you have put her through!" Squaline yelled at
Mother, stepping away from her. "Give him to me!" Mother rushed
at Squaline at full speed. Squaline easily dodged her seeing that
she was a second class warrior. "I said give me my brat!" Mother
screamed picking herself up off the floor.
"He's not a brat! His name's Cabbo and all you are is a nasty,
evil hore!" Cue bellowed at my mother. I watched in horror as my
mother flew past Brok, attacked him, and pushed him into the side
of the fireplace to the right of where I was standing. As he hit
it, he knocked over a can kerosine in the fireplace...but there
was already a fire lit. I pulled Lettice away just before the flame
rose up. A massive cloud of smoke filled the room. Now I saw
a chance to put my plan into action. I grabbed Lettice by the arm
and pulled her down to the floor with me. We crawled across the
room to where Resely and Squaline were standing.
I grabbed Lettice by the arm and pulled her down to the floor with me.
We crawled across the room to where Resely and Squaline were
standing. Resely clenching her jaw watched as her brother fought
Kumber's mother. She was brought out of her daze when she felt a
hand around her ankle. "Resely, we have to get out of here now!"
Resely slowly nodded her getting to the floor with her. "We can leave
out the basement door, but first, get Cabbo from your mother." "Why?"
Resely questioned with a confused expression on her face. "I'm leaving,
that's why. I'm getting off this damned planet with Cabbo." Resely nodded
her head gently and turned to her mother to get Cabbo.
"May I come with you Kumber?" Kumber turned to her little four year old
sister. She cocked her head to the side. "You want to come with me?"
"Yes, please say I can. I don't want to stay with Mother, she really needs
some help. I want to be with someone I really trust." Lettice smiled at
Kumber. "Sure you can. Your the only one in that house who treated
me like a person not a slave." Kumber wiped the lose blackish-brown
hair from her eyes smiling back at her sister.
"Hey, come on you two!" Resely whispered to them. With seven month
Cabbo in her arms, Resely led Kumber and Lettice over to the basement
door. Then standing up, Kumber approched and opened the door and led
the way down the steps. Letting her eyes adjust to the darkness, Kumber
scanned the large room for the window. Spotting the square window, Kumber
and the others ran over to it. Resely opened the window, letting the cool night
hit her smoke-covered face. Kumber who now had Cabbo placed him into
Lettice's arms."You go through first. I have to talk to Resely."
" Well, it looks like you have no choice but to go now." Resely hung her head down
not wanting to look into Kumber's eyes.
"Hey, don't look so sad. I just have to hide out for awhile, that's all, then I'll be back
in a couple of days. You trust me?" She held out her bruise-covered hand to her.
"Yeah, I trust you, just as long as it means that bitch will never hurt you ever again.
They both looked down at Kumber's hand, which she quickly pulled away. "Don't
be ashamed Kumber. " Resely stated quietly staring so intensely at Kumber that
she felt as if she was naked. From the pained expression on her face, like she
see every single scar and bruise she had on her body. Kumber wiggled
uncomfortably from Resely's harsh stare, looking down at her dirt covered feet.
"Why shouldn't I be ashamed, look at me, I'm pitiful."
"No your not, your a survivor. After what that monster put you through, you deserve
a medal. You have nothing to be ashamed of, every scratch, scar and bruise on
your body just proves how strong you are. You are a true warrior and I will always
respect you for that." By now, Resely's eyes were watering, but within seconds,
she blinked them away. Kumber slowly ran her eyes up Resely's body until she
was eye to eye with her. Then taking a step forward, she gave Resely a hug.
Gasping in surprise, she looked down at Kumber who had tears in her eyes as
well.
"Thanks for being such a good friend Resely, I'll never forget you or your family,
ever. You'll always be with me, and I'll always be with you." Kumber motioned to
the locket around Resely neck.
Pulling away from her, Kumber walked over to the large window. She stood for a
second, with her back facing Resely. She stepped up to the window, resting her
hands on the edge. She gazed out the window, looking at the stars realizing that's
where she wanted to be, with the stars. "Goodbye Resely." And without even
turning to face her friend, she gracefully jumped through the window into the night.
Leaving Resely fingering the silver locket around her neck. "Goodbye Kumber."
