Chapter 7:

The sound of sirens filled the air. The flashing of red and blue lights brightened the night sky. 18 watched as they covered the body of her only child. Krillin refused to stay behind the police line, draw across the street. Bulmia and Chi Chi watched and listened as the police explained to Goku and Vegeta about what they thought happened. Trunks, Goten, and Bra were forced to stay in the car. Bra cried into her hands.

"I can't believe she's dead! It's not fair!" cried Bra. Trunks closed his eyes, trying to fight the tears and anger. Goten looked out the window. He stared at the night sky.

`Why Marron?' he cried in his mind. Marron watched as the police led her mother back to the car.

"So, this is it. I'm gone for good aren't I Tai?" asked Marron. Tai appeared behind her.

"Yes. A deals a deal." He said softly.

"What deal? I never made a deal with you. You talked me into giving you my soul. I'm so stupid." Said Marron trying not to sound sad.

"Marron. It wasn't suppose to be like this. You weren't suppose to die, this early. You and Shinto were suppose to live happily. I'm sorry." Said Tai. Marron began to walk away.

"If you truly sorry you'd give me back my soul, so I can live again."

"But, the deal..."

"SHUT UP! YOU CARE NOTHING ABOUT ME! IT'S YOUR DEAL, SO TAKE ME! DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH ME! YOU OWN ME AND I CAN'T STOP IT! I NO LONGER CARE!" yelled Marron.

"Let's go then. Everyone will forget you. You no longer exist. You dead to the world and the world will never see you the same again. You will return to this place, ONLY when I send you to do something for me. You belong to me. Now, lets go tot the place you'll be staying for the rest of your life or until I need you to do something for me." Said Tai. Marron nodded weakly.

We then went to this place. I have no idea were it is. It was full of danger; it reeked of death and hate. I could have sworn it was hell, but I was wrong. I was looked down there for years. Everyone down there calls it Eternity, but I call it Infinity. I don't want to go back. I hate everything about it. I haven't been there for about 8 years, and then Tai brought me back here.

"Tai, were are we?" asked Marron. Tai smiled.

"I can't believe you don't remember your home. We're back on Earth." He said. Marron looked around happily, then she noticed where they were. Her smile faded.

"Nisono Valley!" she said softly.

"Marron, be happy. You're back home. Anyways, I've got something for you." said Tai.

"What is it?" asked Marron.

"I've realized how much you hate being alone and being in `Infinity'. So, I decide you should get married. If you do this I'll give you back your life." Said Tai. Marron smiled.

"You promise?" she asked.

"Yes. But," her smiled faded, "you must marry a guy named...Shinto."

I had no choose. I was still in love with him. But, this time it was the day of our marriage. He gave me back my parents, but tricked them into forcing me to marry him.

Marron pushed her blonde bang out of her face and stared out of the window.

"Marron, I can't believe this is it. You're going to be married. I can't believe it. This is such a..." Marron tuned her Bra out.

`Why am I doing this? Do I love him? No. Or is the answer yes? What am I going to do? I'm not ready for this. I've got to get out of here.' Marron stood up and walked towards the door.

"Marron! Where are you going?" asked 18. Marron turned to face her mother.

"I'm going for a short walk I'll be back." Said Marron as she pulled the door open. She turned and left the room.

Marron ran threw the field. She ran as fast as she could, but she knew no matter how fast she ran she could never escape her guilt. She felt so bad about leaving like that. She stood him up and it wasn't fair. Marron slowed her pace to a walk and eventually stopped. She dropped to her knees.

"What am I doing? It's their fault I hurt him. It's all my parents fault. They wanted me to marry him, but I couldn't go threw with it. They can not blame me for their mistakes!" cried Marron. She heard footsteps behind her but she didn't turn around.

I snapped back into reality, remembering that it was ALL Tai's plan.

"Why did you follow me?" she asked softly. There was no answer.

"I know you can hear me," she stood up and turned around, "why did you follow me?" Silence.

"ANWSER ME!" she yelled facing Tai.

"Because, I want answers." said Tai.

"Fine. Ask and I'll answer." said Marron looking at the ground.

"Why didn't you marry him?" asked Tai.

"Because I HATE him. You tricked my parents into liking him and forced them to force me to marry him!" yelled Marron.

"Did you forget our deal?" asked Tai.

"HOW CAN I FORGET IT? You own me. You own my soul, my ki, my heart, my body, life, dreams, love, hatred, and my every hope. You own me, how can I forget about a deal that says YOU OWN ME?!" yelled Marron.

"Let's go!" said Tai. Marron looked up at him.

"WHAT? Wait! Please don't make me go, I just got back here. I haven't even been able to tell my mother or father goodbye. Please, don't take me." cried Marron. She dropped to her knees.

"Whatever! You have 8 days to find another guy to marry or you will go." said Tai. He turned to leave.

"Tai! Why are you doing this?" yelled Marron. He turned to face Marron.

"Don't question me Marron. Unless you what to DIE! AGAIN!" he yelled. Marron took a step back.

"I'm sorry." she said softly. He grabbed her arm.

"You WILL be!" he yelled. He lifted her into the air than threw her down. Marron screamed in pain as she hit the ground. Tai walked away.

`Why is this happening to me?' thought Marron as she got to her feet.

She looked into the sky. A bird flew by.

`I'm never going to be that free.'

I'm never going to be that free...ever again!
