Chapter 10: A new life.
*I can't believe it. We're the only ones left.* He looked around at the damage Glacier had caused. He saw the pile of rubble that was on top of Holly. *Damn! I forgot all about her.* He flew over to the rubble and began to dig through it. *Please be ok.* He threw a large rock behind him. "Ow!" Trunks turned around, and Holly was sitting behind him rubbing her head. *Ooops.* He moved over to her and put her arm around the back of his neck. She slowly climbed out of the rubble, with the help of Trunks. "Are you ok?" Trunks asked, but Holly moved away from him. She took out the piece of Gohan's Gi from her pocket. Tears began to strem down her face again. "It's all my fault he's gone. If I had just stayed behind with Bulma, he would still be alive. Trunks put his arm around her and rubbed her shoulder. Holly rested her head on his shoulder and began to cry uncontrollably. She hugged Trunks. Trunks blushed at first, then hugged Holly as well. "It's ok Holly. It's not your fault. Trunks was trying hard not to cry as well. "It's ok."
*~*~*~ At Capsule Corp. ~*~*~*
Trunks had told Chi-Chi and his mum what had happened, as his mother bandaged him up. Chi-Chi had already bandaged Holly up, who was sitting outside on the balcony, the same as the last time.
*Gohan. It's all my fault. If I'd have just stayed here, you wouldn't have died.* Holly was beating herself up. She clutched the fabric from Gohan's Gi close to her heart, as silent tears were flowing down her cheeks. Chi- Chi came outside. She had been crying. Holly looked into her mother's loving eyes. Both of them grabbed each other in a tight hug and began to cry. "I'm sorry mum." Holy started, but she couldn't finish. Chi-Chi looked at Holly and wiped away some of her tears. "It's not your fault Holly. By the sounds of it, you and Trunks are extremely lucky to be here with us. Don't beat yourself up about it. Come on. It's getting late. We'd better go home. It's been a really long day." Holy nodded and followed Chi-Chi inside. "Bye Chi-Chi." "C'ya Bulma." They hugged each other. "Bye Holly." Trunks said. Holly looked at him and waved good bye. "NIMBUS!" Chi-Chi yelled. The cloud stopped just in front of her and she stepped up onto it. Nimbus took off followed closely by Holly. Chi-Chi waved until she couldn't see CC any more. Chi-Chi was worried. *She's blaming it on herself.*
*~*~*~*~*~*
Once Holly and Chi-Chi were out of sight, Trunks and Bulma went inside. Trunks was worried, and Bulma could see that. "Are you ok Trunks?" Bulma asked as she began to make dinner. " I feel sorry for Holly. She thinks it's her fault that Gohan died." Trunks said grimly.
"Don't worry. She'll get over it soon. She'll be back to her old self in no time." Bulma said reassuringly. "I hope so." Trunks said quietly.
*~*~*~ Middle of the night~*~*~*
Holly couldn't sleep. She got out of bed and looked out of the window. *Gohan died because of me. I'm sorry mum, Bulma and Trunks. I know it was my fault and you know it too.* Holly looked into the mirror and saw her reflection. She had made her mind up. She opened the drawer and grabbed her finger gloves and put them on. She opened her bedroom door quietly. *I'd better not wake Mum up. Otherwise she'll try to stop me. She crept down the corridor, towards, what used to be, Gohan's room, and crept inside. The blinds were opened and moonlight lit the room with an eerie glow. Holly grabbed the power pole and slung it onto her shoulder. She went back to her room. She'd forgotten her wallet and jacket. She put the jacket on, opened the window and climbed out. She slowly walked away from the only home and family she had ever known. She didn't look back. She couldn't. *I'm not going to look back. This is my new life. I won't rest until you're gone for good. Glacier* Holly looked up at the full moon. *you'd better watch your back.* And with that Holly ran into the forest, as fast as she could.
*~*~Next morning~*~*
"Holly! Time to get up!" Chi-Chi yelled from the kitchen. There was no answer. Chi-Chi walked down the corridor, quickly glanced into Gohan's room, and kept walking. "The power pole is missing." She stopped in her tracks and ran back to the room. *Oh God. Please be in your room.* She hurried to Holly's room and opened the door. She fell to her knees when she saw the window open and the jacket off of it's hook. "Oh Holly." Chi-Chi sighed.
*~*~CC~*~*
The phone rings Bulma picked up. "Hello." Trunks saw a worried look on his Mum's face when he walked into the room. "No I haven't. Hang on a sec, I'll ask Trunks." Bulma turned to Trunks. "You haven't seen Holly have you?" "No why?" "Sorry Chi-Chi. If I see or hear anything I'll call. Bye." She hung up. "Mum, what's going on?" "Holly's ran away." Trunks quickly turned towards the door. He felt a hand on his shoulder, turned around and looked into his mothers face. She looked at him with hope in her eyes. "She'll come back or let herself be found when she is ready. Respect what she thinks is right. Even if it's such a bone headed move." Bulma added cheerfully. Trunks smiled.
