*****Chapter 11 starts now!
Videl groaned as she felt something wet and cold touch her cheek. SHe felt tired, and paralized from the contact to his hit. But where was she now?
"Settle down." A voice soothed her. "You've been through a ruff day."
Videl tired to open her eyes, but failed. All she could see was a red blur crouching over her. "Where," she couldn't continue. SHe was to weak.
"Here, drink this." The woman handed her something steaming in a mug. Videl took it, but hesitated to drink it. The woman smiled, and forced the mig to her lips. "Drink. It'll rebuild your strength."
Videl took a sip, and felt better. Well, atleast she wasn't as tired, and she could open her eyes fully now. "What is this?"
The woman took the cup from her. "Peence. We use it as medical substances, but other people like to use it to wake up."
"LIke coffee?" Videl wondered.
She smiled, and placed her hands on her hips. "Is that what you call it? Coffee? Well, I suppose it it can be called that."
Videl smiled at the woman;she was very beautiful. She had curly red hair, the rested neatly on her shoulders, and outlined peircing green eyes. She had a slim figure, and Videl persumed she was a nurse.
"I don't mean to be rude," Videl said, "but who are you?"
She chuckled softley and smiled at her. "I'm Vindala. Head Nurse."
"It must be a great position." Videl joked. She let out a small laugh at her own joke, and Vindala joined in.
"Yes, it is. But I could kill for a break. I was about to have one when Gohan showed up with you, telling me that I need to clean you up." She sighed heavily, and looked at the stack of paper work on her desk. "At this rate, when I get my vacation, it'll be at my deathbed."
Videl forced a smile. "How long have I been sleeping?"
"A few hours. Don't worry, you haven't missed anything," Vindala teased. Videl let out s giggle, then looked into her eyes.
"Where are we?"
Vindala pressed her lips together, forming a white, thin line. SHe turned her head to the left, then walked back to her desk. Videl lookd back at the left, where she had been looking at. She gasped.
"Stars? Black?" SHe rushed over to the small window, trying to ignore the pains in her body. THe cuts and bruises were telling her to go back to the warm, and cozy cot, but she was to shocked. "We're in space? Where are we? Vindala?"
SHe looked up at Videl, and tucked the pen behind her ear. She pushed the ink bottle away and looked Videl in the eye. "We're on our way to Vegeta-sei."
"Vegeta-sei, what's that?" She looked back at the window and collasped on the small cot. "Where am I? Where is my family? My friends?"
Vindala bowed her head, and gave it a slight shake. "They only took you. I'm sorry. Vegeta-sei is a planet where saiyajins--"
"Saiyajins!" Videl growled. "They took my friends and family. They took everything I knew and loved."
Vindala stared at her. "Hey, you know I'm a saiyajin too." She stood up, and Videl for the first time became aware of the tail wrapped around her waist.
"Oh," Videl mumbled, blushing, very embarresed. "I didn't notice."
"It's alright." Vindala said, with a slight cheerful smile on her face. "Trust me, it's not a reward to be related to that kind. My son's the same way. Lives for fighting. He can disgust me with battles that he's gone through, and it makes me want to keep him in his room until he dies." She paused, thinking about asking if she knew what she ment, but then decided against it. She looked to young to have a child. "Ofcourse, you probably don't know what I'm talking about."
Videl nodded. "Yeah, your right. I don't. I'm only seventeen. And I don't have any younger siblings. My mother died giving birth to me. I never got to meet her."
Vindala frowned, pitting her horrible past. "I'm so sorry--I'm sorry, child, what was your name?"
"Videl." Videl stated proadly. "Videl Satan."
"Videl, I'm so sorry. My son never met his father. He died off in war before he was born. He was a great man, and would have been a wonderful father."
"What was his name?" Videl asked, hoping to maybe make some kind of friend. "I'm sorry if I'm bringing back hard memories. We could talk about something else if you'd like."
Vindala smiled, and ruan her long fingers through Videl's thick hair. "Your such a sweet child. His name was Remon. He looked idnetical to my son, Zeik."
Videl rested her head and back against the white wall. "And how old is Zeik?"
"Thirteen."
"ANd how old are you?"
"Twenty-nine."
"You were pregnant when you were sixteen? That's awfully young." Videl pointed out.
"Not on Vegeta-sei," Vindala told her. "It's very normal to mate at that age." She sighed and strode back behind her desk, showing that the conversation was now over. SHe sat down, and began to scribble on papers. THe room grew silent, except for the swift of Vindala's pen. Videl sighed, and laid herself back down on the small cot, and pulled the thin sheet back over herself. SHe wasn't cold, but she needed to holdonto something. THe room was spinning.
Her thgoughts were spinning. SHe was going to Vegeta-sei, and there wasn't anything she couldn't do about it. She was probably in another galaxy, millions, apon millions of miles away from Earth, that is, if there was still even a Earth. She felt on the verge of tears when the door burst open.
Vindala gasped, and spilt her ink bottle over, then glared at the tall man standing next to the door. He was just poking his head inside. "Saffras!" Vindala screeched, watching the man's expression changed from joyful, to scared. "WHy are you bothering me? You've just created more work for me to do! What do you want?"
Saffras looked at her intensly for a moment, then feeling it was safe to speak, he did. "Sunchingo wants to know if that girl is cleaned up to look at," he stated, as a matter of factly.
"Tell him she is not," she snapped back. "And that I will send her on her way when she is. Do you understand?"
He nodded slowly, then a smile spreak across his lips, and then glanced over at Videl. She felt uncomfortable under his gaze, but then he turned and chuckled softly. Vindala sighed and relife as the door slammed shut. "Thank Spruke he left." (A/N: Spruke is a saiyajin god, k? Just like Videl would say Kami, saiyajins say Spruke...)
"Spruke?" Videl asked.
"Yes, he's our god. He watches and guards the planet. And he protects out king and our people." Vindala stated and went back to her work. Videl nodded, and smiled. It would be alright, for a while. But her chest pained for her family. Her friends. But it'll be okay, she thought. Or it'll be okay as I sleep. She drifted off into a sleep, of how things used to be...

"Dreams are reality. Let them guide you into the right arms..."

Videl was standing in a white room, until she noticed that all the lights were on, and she could easily could turn them off. SHe was wearing a long white gown, which she had seen beofer. It had been her mothers.
A door opened and closed behind her. She couldn't see the person who had entered, since her feet stood on solid ground. She felt a pair of strong arms glid around her waist, and a pair of lips kiss her cheek. She turned her face, to look into a pair of eyes.
But the person had dissapeared, as quickly as they had come, leaving Videl cold and feeling empty inside. The arms were gone, and she doubted they were ever there. She turned, as the most ear peircing noise reached her sense.
She covered her ears, trying to make the sound escape, but nothing. It just continued to get louder. She heared the door again, but as she turned, she fell. But she didn't hit the ground. she kept falling, and the whiteness faded into darkness. she kept falling and falling and falling until she felt something grab her arms and shake her gently.
"Videl,"
It sounded so distant; but so distinct.
"Videl,"
It was there again, but louder, and more commanding.
"VIDEL!"
Videl sat up bolt straight, and saw Vindala smiling at her. "sorry to startle you, but it's time."
"Time for what?"
"Time for you to meet your new home. Videl, welcome to Vegeta-sei."
