~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pan's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke with a start, looking around the small room she found someone behind her. I stiffened, smelling the air. It was Trunks, again. I must be going crazy! They are either getting very good at making these fake Trunks's or I'm going insane, if I'm not already there. I have to get out of here, I have to face the real Trunks, but can I ever look him in the eye again and not flinch in pain?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trunks' POV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke with a start, Pan had been moving again. It was the first time in the last hour or so. I opened my eyes and stared down at her face. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't notice me watching her. She snapped out of them when I kissed her softly on the cheek. I was disheartened when she nearly screamed and leapt away from me. I had seen some of her memories, some of her horrible, horrible memories, and it was pretty. I wanted to kill the bastards that had done this too her, but there was no way that that could happen, because Vegeta had already done it.
I stare at her now, cowering against the wall like I was some kind of monster. I just sat up, pulling the blanket off the bed and wrapped it around the clothing that was barely there. I pulled out a fresh Gi and she winched,
"Please, put on Pan-chan, I'll turn my back..." I said to her, turning my back, actually I went as far as to go into the small bathroom and close the door. It might have been better if Pan went in here, but if she was as insane as Vegeta had said, then she could hurt herself in the cramped area. He heard rustling of clothing and something fall, he quickly left the bathroom to see Pan on her backside trying to figure out how to put the Gi on. Even in her underwear she still looked cute. "Let me help you." Trunks said, smiling. Pan's face took on a weird look and she backed away, pulling the Gi with her. I sighed and held up my hands in defense, "I'm not going to hurt you Pan-chan. I just want to help you." I said to her, walking slowly forward. Immediately he saw in his mind another time when 'He' had walked slowly toward her. He quickly sped up and reached her side, helping her into her Gi. When the memory ended, she looked shocked that he was pulling the Gi up over her head and in place, not ripping it off of her. I smiled at her and kissed her forehead, it would take a long while to get his Pan-chan back...
~~~~~~~~~~~ No ones POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pan sat up from the floor after Trunks had helped her into her Gi. She'd actually forgotten how to do several simple things. Even though the sensu bean had healed and cleaned her skin, she had forgotten how to clean herself, how to dress, how to eat...She hadn't done that in a long while, food, she really needed it soon. Even though it had only been four days, it was kinda like the Hyperbolic Time chamber without actually aging. Pan looked at Trunks with a bit of fear, he was acting so strangely that she didn't know how to take it anymore. She cried, and he let her cry on his shoulder. It was like so many times before in her mind, when she would retreat from the pain, she would go into her memories and they would use those against her. She just cried, waiting for the sting of Trunks to start hurting her again, but it never came.
Pan stopped crying a few minuets later and looked at Trunks in the eye, he hadn't hurt her, and she dared no hope. She didn't know how long she had been gone but she felt like it was forever. She backed slowly away from Trunks, how could she prove that he was the real thing and not some copy made up from her over reactive mind?
'Because you can't. You just have to trust me Pan-chan. You know I would never hurt you, not intentionally, you know that. All of those copies, you speek of in you memories, those weren't me and you and I know it. Did your copies every have the mating mark, and if they did, did it look like this?' he showed her the mark, the one she had made with her teeth, and she finally gave in and started crying again.
"You act so much like him, but how do I know that you aren't some other copy! This had happened before, I started trusting and then 'He' hurt me again and again, with Maron, with the rape..." she started rambling and fell into silence again. She cried herself to sleep and Trunks brought her back to the bed, it would take a long time to get Pan-chan back to her regular self...
Freeze smiled, she couldn't believe that her plan was working this well! That Pan, as her little monkey called her, would soon be his demise! Freeze laughed evilly and went back to what she had been doing a moment before...
Several months later Pan had finally come to the realization that they were indeed not going to hurt her inless she were really insane, or the monsters were still dragging out the torture just a little bit longer. She didn't know what she was going to do about Trunks, whom she was still terrified to even be alone with in the same room, so she bunked with Bra and the others until she finally felt confertable enough to at least stay with Trunks for a few minuets alone. Little by little she came around, taking in the small things. She somehow felt like Vegeta would understand most so she talked to him about what had happened, and he had actually talked about what had happened to him when he had been sent there. She had never heard this side of Vegeta before, and he made sure no one was there while they talked.
Soon after the fighting against Freeze's armies started, Pan started to trust a bit, hearing Vegeta's stories helped her a lot, but she was still wary of everyone. Pan acted strange the first few months' back, she ate when ever she could, as if she had spent years without food. Saiya-jins, thought they loath it so, can actually go months without food, Pan had been gone for the feel of what was Four years, even though her body didn't register this, her mind did, so she was hungry most of the time. When the main fight approached, Trunks' anger at what had happened to Pan started to rise, on more then one occasion HE had to be knocked out before he could make it to SSJ. Pan noticed a few things that the copies had never been able to go SSJ, so she decided to approach Trunks one morning, which shocked him.
She had snuck into his room while everyone was still sleeping and watched him as he slept. Slowly, when his alarm went off, he opened his eyes. He seemed to have a routine down, hit the alarm, turn over, sleep for five minuets, blast the alarm when it went off again and get up. He hit his head on the bunk above his and groaned, Pan giggled.
Trunks spun around and was shocked to see Pan there. "Pan? Whats wrong? Are you okay?" he asked swinging his legs over the side of the bed. Pan nodded and thought of how she should phrase the question, she leaned against the wall and asked,
"You can go SSJ, can't you?" she asked, Trunks was dumbfounded at this question and nodded his head slowly. "Show me," she ordered, sounding more like the old Pan. Trunks slowly powered up, having locked his door so no one would come rushing in, Pan watched intently, ignoring the shouts from the other side of the door. Trunks was powering up slowly, as not to break any glass with his power. When his eyes flickered green and his hair stood on end, Pan burst into tears (OOC I know, but really, wouldn't you do the same if you went though this kinda stuff?) and threw her arms around her mates neck.
"It is you, really you. I never thought to look and see if they could transform, but they never did. Trunks I'm sorry." Trunks was completely and utterly confused at the change in Pan but tried to console her none the less, wrapping his arms around her waist, forgetting about his SSJ form, and rubbed her back mumbling "Its okay," and "Don't worry about it, everything will be fine now."
The door finally opened and Vegeta, being the first one there, shoved everyone back before they, or the two in there, could see them."
"Vegeta what are you doing?" Bulma asked,
"Leave them." Was all Vegeta said,
"Them?" Bra looked around and noticed Pan gone. "Ya, leave them alone, be glad they are finally getting past this" Bra whispered, Vegeta, with the help of Bra, started hustling everyone down the hall...
Trunks sweat nothings turned to kisses and Pan returned them readily. Trunks shifted them over to the bed and laid her down, he looked down at her, smiling, he laid down on top of her and kissed her like there was no tomorrow. Pan missed Trunks's smirk and when Pan felt a sharp jab in her stomach, she screamed in pain, both physical and emotional.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she screamed, her heart and mind breaking. It wasn't real it just wasn't real...
Pan lay a crumpled heap on the floor, the purple monster that had acted like this 'Trunks' spit on her before turning on his heel and leaving the girl on the floor, a broken heap.
"Mistress Freeze, the girl is ready." The little monster said. Freeze nodded and followed the monster to the cell where other little monsters were cleaning the girl up and putting her in proper saiya-jin armor. Looking into the girl's dead and emotionless eyes, Freeze laughed,
"That was too easy, and only in five years on this little planet which is really five days on the outside world. Amazing. Will she obey?" Freeze asked,
"Of course, would you care to try it out?" The purple monster asked, Freeze laughed and said,
"Monkey, stand up stright and blast that creature." She pointed to a bather. Pan did as she was told, not understanding anything but pain and misery. Freeze let out an evil laugh and everyone in the room shuddered and covered their ears, except for Pan, whom let the pain wash over her...
Trunks gasped, (The real Trunks!) he clutched his heart and screamed in pain. He'd never felt pain like this before.
"What is it boy?" Vegeta asked, but then he noticed that Trunks' mating mark from Pan was bleeding, Vegeta cursed and knocked Trunks out of his misery. He quickly put the boy in a regeneration tank and hooked him up to it. Trunks stared out into nothingness, cold and unemotional eyes pierced through anything that caught his gaze. The sleeping gas did nothing to stop him from staring out unemotionally. Vegeta cursed again and yelled at everybody to get their 'Weak asses" in here now.
"Geta whats the problem?" asked Bulma, feeling a forbidding feeling around Trunks.
"We have a problem." Vegeta turned to stare at the tank and everyone gasped.

I know I am evil, but please, bear with me. This will all have made sense in the next few chapters, This story is far from over, and just to console those poor people out there who actually read my story, I refuse to put the next chapter out inless I at least get two reviews. I'm getting really tired of writing actually good stories, according to others, and no body telling me what I need to fix or how it was going. I, like everybody else, like to feel appreciated once in a while for my hard work...
