Life for an angel

Chapter 3: Betrayal

Instantly, Paur pinned Pan against the door trying to kiss her. She tried to scream but she couldn't. Then, she kicked him in the private spot and then ran down the corridors screaming. "Help... help!" she screamed but nobody heard her. Paur shook of the pain, and ran after her, he caught her and slapped her in the face. "NO NO NO! You don't scream." Paur said. Then he tried to kiss her again.

Just then Trunks saw them, he saw how Pan looked and the tear that came down her face and understood what that meant. So he ran up to Paur pulled him away from Pan and hit him in the face.

Paur fell to the floor. Trunks' eyes were filled with raw anger. Without hesitation Trunks grabbed Paur by the shoulder and hit him in the stomach. Rage was burning in Trunks' eyes. Trunks began to beat up Paur. Then he picked up Paur and threw him out of the castle (Literally). Trunks quickly picked up Pan and put her on the bed in her room.

"Pan... are you okay?" trunks asked. Pan burst into sobs. Quickly, trunks sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her letting her cry on his shoulder. "Shh... Pan... it's all right. He's not going to hurt you anymore. I won't let anyone harm you."

Pan snuggled close to him as she held onto his shirt still crying. She was scared. Trunks felt her pain. He hugged her tightly and lightly kissed her forehead.

"T-Trunks?" pan said softly as she started to calm down. Trunks looked down at her. "Yes, Pan?" pan sighed softly as she drew the blankets over herself. "Can you... stay with me? Just for tonight?" trunks smiled warmly. "Just for you, my princess, just for you." "Goodnight... my prince..."

Letting out a small sigh, pan fell asleep, trunks looked over at pan lovingly. He had meant every word that he said. He will protect her no matter what. Even if it causes his own life... He fell asleep in the chair.

*~~*The Next Morning*~~*

Trunks and pan woke up startled by a small scream. Trunks grinned slightly. "So... someone found Paur?" pan looked up at him confused when she saw a slight grin. Finally, it dawned on her, trunks threw paur out of the castle.

Pan was still a little scared to leave her room. So she and trunks stayed in her room. "I better get dressed..." pan said softly. She started to blush. Trunks blushed furiously, and nodded. "I'll be on the balcony if you need me." Quickly, trunks left the room to give pan her privacy. She pulled out a white dress with some gold here and there. Putting it on quickly, and also her under garments, pan walked out of her room and out to her balcony.

"What are you looking at?" pan asked, as she looked upon the balcony. Trunks averted his gaze. When he turned around to see her, she looked breathtaking.

With a white dress, she looked like an angel. An angel sent from heaven to save him from his clod, lonely world. Hesitatingly, trunks placed his arm around her shoulders, drawing her closer to him. Pan tensed a bit, but then relaxed in his arms. She felt warm and happy like this. His warmth was comforting and soothing. She could stay like that forever.

"Pan... I really... love you. I meant what I said about protecting you, I'll always protect you no matter what. Even if it costs me my life." Pan was surprised with trunks' sudden confession, but she was also sad. "Trunks... I... know that I have feelings for you. But, I need some time." Trunks nodded, in understanding. "No need to explain. I understand. I'll wait as long as it takes, I'll wait for you, and you only." Pan blushed slightly. Trunks smiled as he moved from her side to behind her. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around pan and pulled her close. "But before... anything happens, I want to stay like this for a while." Pan sighed as she leaned back against his chest. She knew that she loves him, with all her heart. But... this was going way too fast. That's why she asked for some time. But then... at least she'll have this moment with him.

*~~*Later*~~*

"Pan... should we go check if Paur is still there?" pan nodded. Grabbing his hand, they walked to the door and slightly opened it. There was no sign of paur anywhere.

With a sigh of relief, pan stepped out into the corridors. Trunks came out too. "Well, I better go back to my room. I'll see you later." Pan's eyes widened. "Trunks... can I... stay with you? I'm scared that paur... might show up again." Trunks smiled. "I understand. Come on in."

In trunks' room, pan went over to the column of books near his fireplace. Picking out a book, she flopped down on trunks' bed and started to read. Quickly, trunks changed behind her, and when he was done he flopped down next to her. " What are you reading?" pan looked up at him. "Dragons." Closing the book, she rested her head on trunks' pillow. His scent was there. The strong but yet light scent of trunks.

Pan breathed in his scent. Trunks just watched pan as she breathed in deeply. With a small smile, he gave pan a kiss.

Pan sat up and pulled her knees to her chest, then she stood up quickly, " I'm going to go for a walk in the garden." With a small smile, she left the room.

*~~*Two Months Later*~~*

Pan sat quietly in her room, she had planned to tell trunks that she was ready, ready for a relationship. After all this time, she decided that it was time, and she should tell trunks now. Quickly, she went to his room and knocked on the door. Slowly, it opened. Trunks stood there with a robe on. Pan also saw a girl in the room.

Pan stared at trunks shocked. "You... you lied to me..." pan whispered. Trunks looked at her in disgust. "You expect me to wait for you forever? I needed to move on pan. I'm not going to waste my life just waiting for you." Pan stifled a sob. No... this couldn't be happening... this isn't the trunks she knew. Angrily, she raised her head and wiped her tears away.

"I loved you trunks. But after this, I don't thin I'll ever feel the same way about you again. You not the trunks that I know anymore, your someone else. The trunks I know isn't like this the trunks I know would love me and would've waited for me for as long as it took. I was going to tell you that I'm ready trunks, ready for a relationship, you could've waited a little bit longer, but instead you had to go with another WOMAN! I don't know you anymore trunks, I guess that I've never had known you from the start."

Quickly, she ran off. Tears ran down her face and onto the ground as she ran. As the garden came into view, pan ran faster. She ran as deep into the forest as she possibly could. She ran, and ran, and ran, until she came upon a spring.

She stared at her reflection in the water. Her eyes were pink and puffy, her nose was a bit pink too, but she didn't care. She sat there and cried her heart out. It was too painful, her heart ached out with pain, as she thought about what happened.

With shaky hands, pan took off the locket that trunks had given her for Christmas. It was her most treasured gift. But now trunks had betrayed her. "How could he! He had said that he loved me. I was a fool, to believe everything he said. Even the locket is false and everything he said was false! And I believed him. Can't he see that I truly love him, I would die for him? I had tried everything in my will to keep him happy. But he doesn't know it at all. He doesn't know that I'm trying really hard to please him. I'm a fool, I'm so stupid to actually believe him. I should've gone with Paur. But trunks... I love him so much. Why doesn't he see that? Why doesn't he see what I've done for him? Everything I did was so he would be happy. I don't know him anymore. I thought he meant what he said. He would be better off if I wasn't around. I guess... I'm nothing more to him than a lowly being..."

Slowly, she went closer to the spring. The pain was too much to bear, she wanted it gone. But now... it seems the only way to get rid of the pain was to commit suicide. Looking around her, she thought at least she was going to die in a beautiful place. With quick movements, pan waddled into the water. Accidentally, pan dropped the locket, but she didn't notice. The water was up to her elbows when she was touching the bottom of the spring. Slowly, she lowered her head, but not before saying "trunks... your still deep in my heart..."

Pan started to feel herself lose oxygen, darkness was starting to trap her. Dimly, she heard her name being called from the distance, but she didn't care. Nothing matters anymore. Nothing...
