Last chapter Videl was abducted while trying to make a deposited at the

A little while later Videl was back in Chi Chi's room. There was a knock at the door and she could hear Chi Chi's voice.

"Videl, dinners ready."

"I'm not hungry."

"Would you like it if I brought some up?"

"No, I'm just not hungry. Thank you. But Mrs. Son?" Videl asked, opening the door to talk to the lady standing there. "May I spend the night here tonight?" ChiChi turned to look at her.

"Sure, you can stay as long as you need. You'll have to talk to your dad at some point though."

"I know but I'm scared."

"Well, do you want to talk to me?" ChiChi asked unsure.

"No, I'm sorry, I don't think I'm ready yet." ChiChi nodded and left. Videl picked up the telephone next to the bed and placed the receiver on her ear. Her fingers went to the numbers but lingered before reluctantly pushing the buttons. Finally she heard the phone ringing on the other end. An annoying voice answered, which Videl recognized as her father's secretary. "Yes please just tell him his daughter went on vacation with her friend Eresa. I will be back in about two days. Okay thank you." She placed the receiver back and sprawled out on the bed with a sigh in some attempt to get some sleep.

Pretty soon though, dinner was over. Goten excused himself and bounded up the stairs. He ran into his mother's room to find Videl. She was curled up on the bed so he crawled up next to her. She spun around and came face to face with bright eyes and a wide grin.

"Hey Videl! Mom said you were up here and that I should leave you alone. I think your upset because you really want company. Hey wanna see a magic trick?" he asked hopeful. "Trunks showed it to me yesterday!" Videl gave a small smile.

"Sure Goten, I would love to." He pulled out a deck of cards before she could even finish her sentence, sealing her fate before she had a chance to disagree.

"Okay, take a card, I won't peak! Remember it. Okay now put it back right here!" he said, opening the deck to the middle. She placed the card in and tried to hold back a laugh as he tried to move the middle of the pile to the top, but his hands were not nearly as quick as Trunks' and she could see the movements. "This one?" he asked finally, pulling the top card off the deck.

"Yup, that's the one! That was great Goten." She said clapping.

"So you wanna play Go Fish?" Videl nodded in agreement, happy for the little boy's company. He was so ignorant and he knew nothing. It was nice to know that he wouldn't look at her any different. They got into one game after another until they had completely lost track of time. A little while later they heard a knock on the door.

"Hi, I just wanted to get some pajamas. Oh Goten! There you are. I'm sorry Videl, I have to steal your partner. He needs to go to bed." She smiled and Goten gave the classic whine of, "Do I have to?" She nodded and he jumped off the bed.

"Good night Videl, play with me tomorrow?" Videl nodded.

"Good night Videl, Pajamas are here. Gohan said he'd come in in a bit to see how you're doing. If you get hungry at all there is food in the fridge, help yourself." She walked over and gave Videl a friendly kiss on the forehead, as a mother would a daughter.

"Thank you Mrs. Son."

"Try to get some sleep okay? If you feel like talking about anything feel free okay?" Videl smiled. ChiChi was like the mother she couldn't remember.

"Okay good night." ChiChi waved and shut the door behind her. Videl stripped out of her clothes and put on the pajamas that ChiChi left, quickly. As soon as she finished she heard a knock on the door. She walked over and opened it, revealing a blushing Gohan. She wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "Oh Gohan I was so scared." She stared barely realizing was she had said.

"Umm do you wanna talk about it?" He asked. She nodded slightly and he brought her over to the bed and sat down next to her.

"Well he kidnapped me from the bank. He drugged me though, I couldn't fight back. Being a fighter, well I guess you couldn't relate, being helpless is the scariest thing ever. He was drinking and he… he undressed me. Oh God I was scared. I called for help, but nobody came. He beat me up so much I thought for sure I was going to die. I don't know if he really did…rape…me, I was out for a while." She broke off after that, sobbing. Gohan wasn't exactly sure what to do so he held her to himself.

"Shhh its okay now. I'm here now." Pretty soon though, she had fallen asleep. He carefully lay her head on the pillow and walked out.

At about 2 am, Videl's door slowly creaked open. A figure walked to the side of the bed she was sleeping on. Suddenly she was awakened by a hand pulling on her nightgown.

There, that's it for this chapter. I'm going to be posting a new chapter every Friday I think and I will see, maybe I can do one during the week, but with my hectic schedule it seems almost impossible. So Fridays it is for now! Later.
