Chapter 12
A time to live a time to die, which will be?
A war to start a war to end, which is right?
Hope is fading fast, won't you stay and help?
Run while you may seeker, the world is ending.
We have been betrayed. Betrayed!
- The Second
Shadow looked at Yin through hate-tinged eyes. The stupid mortal actually believed that he had given him enough drugs to make him comatose. But he was very afraid, not for himself of course, but for Matt. They had been giving him too many drugs and it was beginning to make him very sick despite the fact that Shadow had been using his limited healing abilities to help him.
Ah, heart-sister, where are you? Why aren't you answering me? He called out silently with his mind. He was worried about Destiny; lately she had been haunting his dreams. Nightmares would probably be the better term. He thought wryly. But they were disturbing, dreams of a battle to the death, tears of angels, and the words oath breaker and betrayer repeated over and over again.
Shadow stood up and paced the small cramped area of his cell. How he hated being here, locked within the earth. He was a Learian Wolf by God, not some earth digger! That was perhaps the worst thing of all, Learians weren't meant to be away from the open air for very long. Shut up! He snarled at himself. You survived this hellhole once you can do it again! But this time was different. He had to watch over Matt and keep him safe from the filthy mortals who infested this place, and… his heart-sister wasn't here.
Shadow looked up at the ceiling and prayed. Be safe Destiny. Be safe.
"Well, well, well. What have we here?" Asked an all too familiar voice.
Shad snarled, stood over Matt to protect him, and looked up to face the intruder. Shock invaded his whole body as he saw-
Destiny and Gohan had been Larex's guests for about four days now. Thankfully the two had been able to avoid the worst of the festivities but each day the feeling that something was wrong grew stronger. Although during the daytime Destiny was able to keep much of her emotion under wraps, when she fell asleep it was a different story entirely. Often she could wake up yelling or screaming in both anger and sorrow. It was during these times that Gohan would soothe and talk to her. This had an unusual effect on both of them.
Both Gohan and Destiny were becoming attracted to one another. They would stay up discussing philosophy, beliefs, worlds that Destiny had seen, and any other thing that came to mind. Gohan found himself entranced by Destiny's fascination for life and even came to share it. One thing they never spoke of was how they were beginning to feel. Both of them were honorable and constantly talked of Videl and the others back on earth. Also there was something else that was beginning to bother Destiny. Larex had begun to watch her with an almost possessive look in his eye that for some reason seemed oddly familiar.
"Hey, quit pacing." Gohan said teasingly and wrapped his arms around Destiny from behind.
"Helps me think." Destiny murmured and let her head drop back and rest under his chin as she stared up at the ceiling.
"I think you worry too much."
"Possibly." She replied with a smile and was about to turn around and look at him when something on the ceiling caught her eye.
There was a band of copper colored metal running along the perimeter of the room. Strange, but it seemed familiar. She stepped out of Gohan's arms and floated up to touch the metal. Instantly an icy feeling washed throughout her body and seemed to blanket her mind. Destiny growled dangerously and snatcher her hand away.
"What is it?" Gohan asked worriedly.
Destiny shook her head slightly and fell to her knees. Gohan rushed over and knelt down beside her but didn't touch her when she raised her hand. After a long moment Destiny raised her head up and looked at Gohan through eyes that were both full of sorrow and anger.
"Betrayal." She whispered. "We've been betrayed."
