Nightmares
Chapter 8: Destiny's Games
He sat by her bed, eyes filling with tears. She couldn't die.
She was too young to die, wasn't she?
Wasn't she?
How could someone who's barely experienced life die so young? And from such an unknown phobia?
Marron, why was this happening to her? He would rather this happen to himself, for her sake. Marron didn't have the saiyajin genes that kept himself, Trunks, Pan, Bra, Gohan, and Vejita free from sickness.
Sure, his father was dead.
But it was an unnatural death, and a choice to stay dead. This was natural, because it could ail anyone--anywhere. What game was destiny playing?
Goten knew one thing for sure. He didn't like this game.
If Marron died, what would happen?
Trunks came in. "Goten, is she better?" Goten looked at his best friend's eyes. "Trunks," he said hesitantly. "What?" Trunks was annoyed. "I didn't do anything." "Your eyes are bleeding."
"NANI?!" Trunks screamed into Goten's ear. "Take a look." Goten pointed to the mirror.
Trunks's eyes were bleeding profusely and he stared at himself for a moment. He looked so pale, his eyes so bloodshot...
"That thing..."
"What thing?"
"Big, black, tall," Trunks shuddered. "bloody red, hypnotizing, eyes that pierce your most secret thoughts..."
Goten glanced at him. "What?"
There came a knocking at the door.
"Who is it?" The duo asked.
"Me, Pan. Now open the door, dimwits."
Trunks opened the door for her.
"What happened to your eyes, Trunks?"
"The thing. It happened to your eyes, too."
"Oh. Bra hasn't woken up yet. Is Marron better?"
"Is she, Goten?"
"No, she refuses to fight. It's strange. She'd be fine now, only she just won't fight it."
"God. She better start fighting it."
"What if she doesn't? What will you do then, Trunks?" Bra stood in the open doorway, blue hair falling all over her face. "What will you do?"
*owari*
Yay! That makes the THIRD chapter I've written tonight!
So, what do you think? Like how it's moving faster and including more action?
