Chapter 8 ~ Runaway from home ~
Pan was not crying but thinking. Crying wouldn't help her at all. She wanted to think
about the war and how to stop it. But she hated the Enubians now. They had killed her grandpa
and that had lead to the death of her beloved grandpa. There was no possible way that she could
stop this war by herself without any fighting.
Confused as ever, Pan ran over to grab her sack and senzu beans. What she was going
to do she did not know why. She was going to run away from her home and escape to a nearby
village.
Once she had finished putting on some light clothing she was done preparing for her
escape, she got a spare rope and threw it out of the window down to the surface. She slowly
climbed out of it down to the ground and ran over to the stables.
A saddle sit on a bar and Pan grabbed it heading over to her horse to saddle her. She
was finally happy and raced her horse out of the stables. She stopped her half way through her
run to look back at her home. She just sighed and continued racing on toward a mountain range
to see if she could find a village there. She had not travel past these mountains or knew what lay
before it. The only thing that she knew was that she had to escape the torture.
She had ridden on for many hours and already the sun began to look up from the
horizon. Soon sunshine spread across everywhere Pan touched. It was morning and the morning
her parents and the whole kingdom will find out that she was missing.
Finally, just behind a steep hill, there lay a village. Pan put her cloak over her face to
make sure that no one will be able to recognize her. Everyone knew who she was since all of the
princes had ask her to marry them. There was no way anybody was going to find out that she
was Princess Pan of Tayla.
It was a short ride to the little village which already was crackling with people so early in
the morning. Pan dismounted from her horse and walked through the town holding the halter of
her horse. Lots of stares were headed straight for her. Pan felt a bit uncomfortable and walked
on a little bit further on.
She nuzzled her horse's muzzle and realized that she was very hungry.
"Now how will I be able to get you food around here. Ahhhh! Here we go," Pan stared
straight toward a horse feed area and stable. She decided that she was going to leave Hana
there and search the town a little more.
"Take really good care of her. I don't want her getting hurt now." Pan told the horse
keeper.
"Yes ma'am! I am one of the best horse handlers in this town. I am sure your horse will
feel very welcome here." The man had spiky black hair, just like a mohawk, and very dark brown
skin. "Oh and my name is Uubu!"
"Well, nice to meet you Uubu my name is...," Pan made up something really quickly,"
Lana and I am a visitor to this village."
"I thought that you very well might be a visitor because I have not seen you around here
before. Nice to meet you Lana and please enjoy this village, Enubia."
When Pan heard "Enubia" she immediately remembered the young man with the
lavender hair say he was the prince of Enubia.
"And I suppose that great castle up there is the Enubian castle."
"Yes, that's right"
"Is I do so recall hearing, the king's name is Vegeta, the queen's is Bulma, the prince's is
Trunks, and the princess' is Bra"
"Yes! That is all correct! I am so surprised that you already know that! You are just a
visitor and hardly anybody knows about us."
"Well, I think I do remember hearing it from somebody. Well, I really have to get going
right now! Good bye Uubu."
"Goodbye!" Uubu called out to Pan who was already walking away.
Pan heard screams coming from some direction and found that it was coming from the
market place. She ran over to that direction to see millions of people surrounding some 4 people.
She saw the lavender-haired boy sitting up on the platform and knew that the other 3 were
probably king Vegeta, queen Bulma, princess Bra. She listened into the little meeting that they
were having and found out some interesting stuff.
"We, Enubia, will conquer those weaklings, the Tayalians! We have armies of 300
hundred ready for attack and this time we are not going to fail!" Their king roared.
Pan heard this and was shocked. She must go back to her kingdom and warn them
about it. If she didn't for sure she knew that she would parish. She ran back to the stables and to
the dark skinned boy. Before she could grab her horse and leave she heard someone calling her
name.
"Over here, Lana! It's me Uubu!"
"Oh hello Uubu! I have to go now. I hope you don't mind me leaving without you
knowing."
Uubu looked very serious and he seemed to know something." I know you are lying to
me to keep your identity safe. You are princess Pan of Tayla. I can tell so very well."
Pan gasped," H-how do you know that my name is Pan and not Lana?"
"If you want to know then I guess I should tell you. I go to the Tayla castle almost
everyday to deliver them some of my best horses. My village does not know that I am doing this
so it is secret. I see you every time for you are the one I deliver the horses to. I know your eyes
very well and you I know is princess Pan.'
"Well, you do have that very right. I am princess Pan but you cannot tell anybody for I
will be held captive my the Enubians."
"Your secret it safe with me as long as I know that my little secret will me safe with you."
"Of course, Uubu! I will keep your promise... but now I must leave to tell my father about
the Enubian's horrific attack. If I don't return in time my kingdom will suffer for sure.
"Yes, of course, princess Pan. I know you must go, but before you go take this with you."
Uubu handed Pan some sort of sword by which looked very familiar to her." What do you
call this sword. It looks so familiar to me."
"I call this the Z Sword. I used to train under your father and he left it behind with me
because he thought that there wasn't going to be any war to use it in, so he left it with me. That is
why I have it right now. I didn't totally agree with taking it but he insisted."
"Thank you Uubu. I think I may want to use this some time when I want to protect myself.
My other sword didn't suit me as good as this one. I think I will be going now. Goodbye!" Pan
took the sword from Uubu and waved.
"Goodbye," Uubu waved to his new found friend and continued his work in the stables
with the horses.
"Come on, Hana, let's go back to my father and tell him the news," Pan kicked her horse
to go and they were off.
********************************************************
Bra still didn't know what she was doing staying at the place where she was badly beaten
by her father. She couldn't decide whether she should run away from that place or stay where
she was and grieve in silence.
Vegeta was still giving his speech to the people of his kingdom and Trunks stand right
next to him cheering him on, Bulma was sitting in her sit looking down sadly, and all the people
at the little meeting were focused on their king. Bra decided that she was going to get away from
this stupid meeting and run off. She sleeked out of her chair unnoticed to even her mother, or did
she notice?
The demi sayajin hoped onto her horse and galloped off. She ran along the path happy
as ever, free at last.
********************************************************
Pan was running along the rode at a fast pace. She had to get back and tell her father
about the attack right away. Her horse was one of the fastest sprinters ever and knew that she
was aware of the emergency as well.
Before she knew she was going to make it back to her kingdom in time, she saw a girl on
a horse which looked much like the girl sitting on top of the platform in the marketplace. She
stirred her horse over and swerved it in front of her.
"Hey!," The girl screamed," Why'd you have to go and do that?!"
Pan was about to speak but was cut off," I am the princess of Enubia and I should not be
treated like that."
"Ahhh.. so you are the princess of Enubia. Aren't you suppose to be at that little meeting
of yours?"
"Yeah, but I decided that I did not want to stay here anymore for I feel like I am being
mistreated."
"You know what? I think I feel the exact same as you, princess Bra."
"How do you know my name?"
"Your big brother told me."
"And how exactly did you that? My brother doesn't like to talk to a lot of people.
"Well, I saw him in the battlefield and he told me who were involved in this."
"You were in the battlefield when my father's army attacked?" Bra's face had confusion
all over it.
"Maybe I really need to tell you this. I am the princess Pan of Tayla. I am so surprised
your brother has not told you yet."
My brother has told me, but he did not tell me what you look like. What are you doing
here any ways?"
"I have run away as well and there is no reason to tell you where I am going now."
"Pan, please don't think like that. I do not agree with the war. I always loved earth and
wanted to come here ever since I was little. Please believe me...
Pan was amazed the Enubian princess would not agree with the war. She decided to
trust her for the time being for she too didn't like the war.
"Okay, Bra, I guess I will trust you, but you do not have my full trust since you are the
enemy."
"I understand that you do not trust me fully, but I guaranteed you that you will change
your mind about me."
"Very well! I must me off now but our little incident right now shall become secret."
"Yes of course! But can I come with you?"
"Why do you wish on going with me?"
"Well.... um ...... because I am attempting to run away from this place I might as well go
to your kingdom," Bra was ignoring the fact that she wanted to see Tayla's prince Goten. She just
set that thought aside for later.
"Um.... I guess it's okay but my father might not like having the enemy as a guest at our
kingdom. "
"I'm sure I can make him trust me. Well, I think we should be off before my father,
brother, and mother find out that I am missing from my seat."
Pan nodded and the two girls raced off towards the mountain side which separated Tayla
from Enubia.
********************************************************
After the speech was over, Vegeta and Trunks stepped down from their stand and were
getting ready to leave when they saw that Bra was not in her seat. They both had a confusion on
their faces.
Vegeta looked over at his wife. "Where's Bra?"
"Oh my gosh! All this excitement made me lose attention of everything else. Bra must
have sneaked off during your speech," Bulma said with some concern.
"Damn that girl!" Vegeta yelled," Trunks, be sure you find her and quickly."
"Yes father! I will find that brat!" With out any hesitation, Trunks mounted his horse.
Along his way to get some men to help him out in his search, dozens of thoughts raced
through his mind. Why was he obeying his father's orders just to please him? How come he
doesn't know how to love anybody? Why.... Trunks shook his head and continued to ride on.
********************************************************
Bra and Pan had already started a conversation and believed that they could trust each
other with the information that they exchanged. They were for sure the best of fiends already in
those very 20 minutes that they rode together.
They rode on for quite some time when, finally, the two could see the sun going down.
They dismounted from their horses and set up camp for the night.
Pan brushed down her horse still determined to get back to her kingdom and tell them
about the attack but all she wanted to do right now was rest because she was really tired.
Bra was now getting some sticks and setting a fire for the cold night. All her mind on,
right now, was to see the handsome prince of Tayla that all of the girls at home had been talking
about. She looked up at the million of twinkling stars up in the sky and let out a huge sigh
attracting Pan's attention.
Curious as she was, Pan looked at her newfound friend and asked her," What are you
thinking about now, Bra?"
"Oh, nothing..." she said still gazing at the sky.
"Oh really?"
Bra returned her gaze to Pan and said," Is prince Goten really what everybody says.
Handsome and charming..."
Pan was eating a bread roll and when she heard what Bra said she spit all of her food
out.
"Is that what you were thinking about!? My uncle Goten!?
"Oh! I did not know he was your uncle!" Bra blushed.
"Well, I do so believe that all of the girls at my home crave him too much but I can't say
he is cute at all."
Bra didn't say anything else but just throw her aching body down and go to sleep. With
nothing else to do, Pan comforted herself on the grass and fell asleep.
