them the best I can and if you don't care about the page lengths...Then
please put that in your review to prove my friends wrong. Thanks!
Fifteen minutes later in the sick rooms
"Where am I?" I said groggily looking around. Seeing a totally different atmosphere. "Where the hell am I? In some kind of Camelot thing?" I yelled as I was throwing the thick blankets off me. I then noticed that I was wearing a long white sleeping gown. What the hell I'm I wearing?" I said as is looked at the nightgown "and where in the hell I'm I? I have never seen this place before." I said as I looked around looking at the tapestries that had lined the walls. And swords and axes hung above or by them. A large fireplace that was only glowing coals now.
"Ow your up." A woman said appearing out of nowhere. I spun nervously and I held the middle of my chest gripping my hand in a fist in fright. She was dressed in a long gown and apron, holding a large tray of food. "Sorry for spooking you milady" she said in a thick ascent forcing words out. "I didn't expect you to be up so soon with the medicines the girls gave you." She said setting food down and wiped her hands. "Please eat and drink, you'll feel better." She added. Her features showed that of a loving parent. I edged over slowly sitting and sipped a drink in a mug. It was a tea, but it was extremely sweet and strong.
'Why did she cal me milady? Isn't that what they call royalty?' I thought to myself as I looked inside the cup of tea. "What is in this lady?"
"It's only honey and herbs, honey is to smooth the throat and the herbs are for a strong taste." She said trying not to laugh at the face I had made. I had to laugh at that to. The food was sweet and the best I had ever tasted. A fresh taste from the berries, and what seemed like pancakes, and the oatmeal was rich with thick cream and cinnamon. I did not dare ask what was in the second cup of tea she gave me, but it made me want to hurl even smelling it was gross. After I finished I got up to look around and saw that there was no door. I began to tense up going around in circles, feeling close in.
"Where's the door? I want to get out I am felling closed in." I demanded over and over softly, then louder and louder.
"Milady calm down, follow me." She said pulling aside a tapestry. I then began to follow her uneasy about what would be waiting for me.
"Where is Courtney and Krystle? Where are they?" I said walking down a thin hall with her starting to feel even more unease and closed in.
"I do not know who you speak of, but perhaps the lord will know." She said as she had reached large balconies with a grand stair nearby.
"Take the stair and he should be somewhere on the bottom floor, know I must run milady." She said as she walked away, I then looked at the stair then turned to her but she wasn't there anymore. This was getting freakier every minute. I ran down the stairs and threw the large hall. The metal on suits of armor seemed to be laughing at me as I ran. I became scarred and thought of Darien's castle and began to cry. "No I can't be here I can't be my friends wouldn't bring me here." I said freaking out even more. I then kept looking behind me, when I then hit something being thrown back.
"Are you OK?" a familiar voice said looking at me offering a hand. I then looked the person over; to see whom I had ran into. I didn't recognize his looks but his voice; there was something so familiar yet so distant about it.
"Do I, do I know you? For you sound familiar." I asked as I looked up at him as tears ran down my face. When I looked into his eyes, they have seemed to old for his young body, but they seemed familiar as if I've seen them some where.
" Well? Have I seen you before?" I asked again as I looked into his eyes. And noticed that they looked like I have seen them before, like they were familiar. It was something about his eyes that made them sparkle.
"No not that I know of." He grinned looking into her. 'God her eyes remind me of her mother.' He said to himself as he smiled.
"Where is Krystle and Courtney?" I demanded angrily as I pushed myself up ignoring his extended hand.
"I believe Courtney is visiting a old friend here and Krystle may be with her. But why do you cry milady? Did you hurt yourself?" He asked in a concern voice, as he placed his had on my shoulder to comfort me.
"Nothing…" I paused as I then saw a flash back. I then fell to the ground landing on my knees and holding my head in pain. "Stop please don't take me away again!" I screamed in horror, I then blanked out and looked down the hall with blank eyes.
"Milady are you all right? What is the matter?" Andrew said staring to get worried about what she might have seen, for he doesn't wan her to remember anything yet. At least until he can know how to help her adjust to the fact that she is royalty.
"What…" I said shaking my head, like I was waking up form a bad dream. "I am fine…now where is my friends?" I said getting up like nothing happened and then felt a little shaky and started to fall backwards. Then Andrew catches me and helps me to my feet.
"I think that it was to soon to be letting you go out. You still seem a little lightheaded." He said trying to get her to go back to the sick room (hospital room).
"Now show me where my friends are. For I want to know if they are safe!" I said trying to walk then seeing the walls spinning. I then shook my head and started to toughen myself up so that I wouldn't show that I was still sick.
"Fine follow me then milady." He grinned and headed down the hall. I ran up to his side walking with him.
"Why is every one calling me milady? Call me Sarah for I'm not royal so don't be calling me that, please." I said as I looked up at him and grinned. "But I know for a fact that I have heard your voice before and I will find out why." I said with determination in my voice. "But any ways what is your name sir?" I asked as I continued to look back for I felt like I was being followed.
"My name is Andrew and this here on which you are in is my home. And I'm sorry but that is what I like to call you but if you wish to be called Sarah then I will call you Sarah okay milady? OOPS sorry." He said softly with a smile. "But I'm surely that we have never meet for I'm an old friend of Courtney's, she recommended you to come here as a safe haven." He said as he opened a door as a cold breeze pulled my hair back.
"Burr… it is cold out there. Drrr! I'm still wearing this night gown." I said pouting then looked back at the gloomy hallway and was to scare to walk back for my clothes.
"Here take my cloak for this will keep you warm. For your clothes are being washed. And it is a long walk to your room. So take this and later you can change." He said as he took it off and placed it on me and tied it.
'Why is he being so caring? Whatever I will have to try my hardest to be nice.' I thought to myself. I then looked up at Andrew and smiled. "Thanks for I was scarred to go down there. For I had a bad feeling that something evil is back there." I said walking out he door.
Andrew then looks back at me and then waits till I was out of ear range. "Get the hell out you fucken creature for I will not let you take her. I promised my life on guarding her and I failed once but not twice. If I were you I would leave!" he yelled in the hallway. There you could hear a faint laughter. "Hmmmm…" he said as she slammed the door shot and walked up to me and smiled then looked back.
"What were you shouting for?" I asked as I looked back in fear.
"Nothing mil…I mean Sarah" he said as he guided me by pushing me lightly this his hand on my back.
"Please refrain form touching form my boyfriend will kill you." I said with a grin and then heard a familiar music.
Music blasted from somewhere as he began to run in the direction of it. I then followed him up and over a hill. I reached the hill and stopped. I knew the song it was 'I Stand Alone' by disturbed, one of Courtney's favorites. I smiled then looked out and then my jaw dropped at what I saw. A huge ring with stands filling the field. Stands were around its other side too. Inside stood two armored figures one seemed scared the other was confident atop a huge black horse. A roar went out as they moved forward with each other.
The rider on the black mount reared then dropped to all fours charging. The other just charged lifting their lance. I starred dumbfounded of what was going on. They clashed; the black rider sent the other rider flying in the air and onto its back. The Black rider stomped a bit annoyed by the posture, and then threw it's things on the ground as if in a hiss fit. We ran to the ring worried about the motionless rider on the ground. The riders were smaller then they looked! The black rider dismounted taking off a helmet and deep red hair fell out like a sea of blood.
"Courtney!" I gasped "then that's…" I began as I ran to Krystle's side. I helped her take the helmet off, as she looked an odd shade of pale green. "Are you okay Krystle you look sick looking?" I asked lifting her head up.
"Never again!" she yelled angered. "Screw learning how to use a huge sword and lance I'm never jousting with you again!" she said ignoring the fact that Sarah was at her side asking her questions. She then saw that Sarah was up and smiled.
"Andrew my best buddy,' Courtney began grinning evilly taping her fingers together like Mr. Burns form the Simpson.
"O' No, No don't look to me Courtney there's no way in hell." He said stepping back shaking head and hands. She the began to display her puppy eyes. "I'm not that much of a fool. I know what you and Dark Soul can do!" he snapped stepping even farther away.
"Who's dark soul" I asked nervously looking up at Andrew. "Sounds like something Darien would use. Are you in with Darien for if you are, so help thee god I will kill you."
"Don't lower my baby to suck a level." Courtney snapped in defense. I arched my eyebrow at what she said. Krystle coughed then saw Sarah's face.
"It's the freaking horse, figures shed name her best war horse Dark Soul." She said standing and pulling armor off. "Fine then if no one wants to play with me I'm going inside." She pouted turning the horse to the stables. She stopped and looked at Sarah and started to laugh.
"What" I snapped at her. She could barely breath when Andrew joined in trying to hide his chuckling behind his hand.
"You're in a nightgown." She managed to say between laughing. I folded my arms angrily.
I then took the cloak and cover myself up again.
"Well Krystle, Sarah, you probably want a nice hot bath. Why not go inside I need to talk to Courtney for a while." He said. We began to walk to the castle, when I turned from the saddle to look at them. He didn't say anything, but she seemed entranced. I shrugged it off and headed grabbed Krystle's waist tighter as she urged the horse into a slow crater.
The next morning at Bulma's home
"Goku wake up! Come on!" Serena yelled as she shacked Goku's arm to try to get him up. She then began to yank on his arm trying to get him to fall off the couch. "Come on, I want to see my baby, get your ass up you lazy man!" she said as she began to turn in to eternal moon and throw Goku off the couch into the wall.
"What the hell?" Goku said puzzled as he yawned rubbing his eyes. "Well honey nice outfit." Goku said with a grin looking her up and down.
"Shut up you idiot I'm not in the mood! I have been trying to get you up for the last 2 hours!" Serena said with a frown as she taps her foot on the floor with anger.
"Sorry dear I am a sayain. We sayains sleep heavily. But let me go take a shower and let me eat and I will find Sarah's KI and then we will go see her." He said as he got up walking over to her and held her close to her to get her to smile. He then leaned over to her face and kissed her on her lips and smiled at her.
"Oh Goku you always knows how to cheer me up. You can be stupid some times, but I love you. I will get your breakfast ready while you go take your shower." Serena said as she a silver color showed upon her body and she turned back to normal and smiles back to Goku. "So get a move on! For I would like to see my baby now." She said as she moved to the refrigerator taking out a meal to feed 10 men.
That Night in Germany (afternoon at Bulma's)
"Will you stop fighting!" Courtney snapped at Krystle and me. We stood their arms out holding what soon would be luxurious gowns, from what she said. Though I didn't completely trust her with sticking pins so close to my body. Courtney laughed at how uneasy I was. Krystle winced when Courtney stuck pins in her dress close to her skin.
"Will you be careful!" I snapped at her. "I don't completely trust you, you know!" I said she only laughed shoving another pin threw my cloth.
"There were done, Trisha will be sewing these up for me since I must finish my own outfit for the masquerade ball." I said as the seamstress Trisha took the dresses off the girls and walked out to the sewing room.
"So what are you wearing?" Krystle asked, jumping off the pedestal.
"Ya I mean you know what were wearing. Why can we know what you're wearing, it's not fare you know." I said rubbing my shoulders. They hurt for holding my hands out like that for so long. She only grinned evilly. 'She was up to something and I didn't exactly trust her at the moment, especial in this place. Not to mention how weird Andrew was acting with Courtney, it frightened me. How well did she really know this guy.' I thought to myself looking at Courtney, though she was happy I would put up with playing along for now.
"Come on please?" Krystle begged as she sat down near Courtney and smiled and gave her version of the puppy eyes.
"NO now lay off." Courtney snapped. Krystle recoiled quickly; even she was scared of Courtney at the moment. Courtney only grinned and walked to the doorway. "Come on you need to go eat." She said sighing in frustration. "Ill show you to the dinning hall." She started off threw a door, we followed her slowly exchanging looks. Something definitely was up with her!
"I thought I was bad with me being in heat and shit…and that reminds me I wan to invite my honey to the ball." I said with a smile.
"That sound like a real good idea, right when you are in the middle of your freaking heat. Will I guess that I will bring Goten in case we need to get trunks to get away from you. She said sarcastically as she started to laugh.
We sat at dinner alone noticing that Andrew and Courtney wasn't here. But there were a few teachers here, most were chatting between themselves. Tonight dinner was very thick soup with bread and water or wine.
"So you hungry?" Krystle said looking up from her soup at me. A mischievous grin played across her lips.
"In fact I'm not." I declared rising from my seat. She followed my example and we headed out of the dinning hall. We somehow found ourselves in a long dark hall. I looked at the walls, paints hung all along here. They were of warriors and dragons and things. The last final one was a large painting over a huge door shaped like a sun. It was a painting of what seemed countryside. A crystal palace seemed to glow on a cliff side. Dragons flew in the sky. The land was full of what seemed elves in armor atop huge unicorn horses. There were five leaders of these. There was young girl with sharp blue eyes in the center of the group, wearing grand armor. Her unicorn wore grand armor but was a deep black. What seemed her two brothers were on her left and right followed by their parents on either side of them. It seemed so real, as if it was a real place. I was brought back to myself hearing clash of steal. I looked once again at the doors. Krystle nodded, and we both pushed the doors open a bit to look inside. Courtney and Andrew were sparing. Courtney wore grand armor he wore a flowing cloak with armor under it. Around them, there was a large empty cavern. It seemed to be lighted naturally from some unknown source. She seemed in a trance, but a determined grin across her face.
"It looks the same as when she got up from the bleachers to kill Vegeta!" Krystle gasped. "You don't think she wants to kill Andrew do you? I mean he's so nice to us." She hissed uneasy. I eyed Courtney as she fought. She was so confident. I felt something pull at me but ignored it.
"You feel that?" Krystle hissed in my ear.
"Ya but what is it?" I said
"I don't know." She mumbled ignoring it. Then I saw something that I had never seen on Courtney before.
"Is that a tattoo?" I gasped a bit to loudly Andrew froze. Courtney pulled her sword up and under his chin. Making his chin rise. He saw us opening his mouth. I stumbled forward throwing the door open. She was going to kill him!
"That was a foolish move Andrew," she declared still in a trance. Her tattoo seemed alive. Krystle was not the only one who saw it.
"Yes and I resign you have won this match Courtney" he declared dropping his sword. She grinned then saw us from the corner of her eye. She spun turning on us lowering the sword.
"What are you doing here?" she growled angered at us.
"We... we..." Krystle said.
"You were following me, I told you not to gods above why must you be so nosy?" she screamed at us, venom in her voice.
"Courtney what's on your arm?" I asked softly. "You never had a tattoo before." I moved for her. She growled moving away and pulled her top armor off. She wore a tank under it.
"Courtney answer me!" I demanded.
"I don't know I." she paused as if thinking of a cover. " I got it done for my sixteenth." She lied I could tell that. I could tell she wouldn't tell me the truth so ignored it. She pulled a shirt that came to her elbows on. "You never noticed because I always were guys cloths," she snapped. Krystle winced at the harshness in her voice.
"Shhh…" Andrew said looking around. We all went quiet.
"What's wrong" Courtney said sword in hand again.
"I don't know I thought." He said shrugging it off. "Well then girls" he said smiling clasping hands together. "Although I don't like you barging into our training sessions I have something important to tell you. Courtney has told me about your predicament in the US." He began we looked at her. She just looked at her feet uneasy. "Guys its okay, your secret is safe, but I have some of the best teachers that can help you. They will teach you all forms of fighting. You will learn and head home once they feel you've learned enough." He declared
"What...What the hell did you tell him." I screamed lunging at Courtney. She didn't even see me or didn't care to. I slammed her into the wall of the cavern. It shook from the impact. "What…the…Fuck…Did…you…tell…him…" I screamed banging her over and over into the wall. It left cracks in the wall leaving her imprint. She didn't even wince in pain from it. I growled in anger at that and threw her across the cavern. I turned and slowly walked toward her she stood sword in hand.
"Sarah calm down please!" Krystle begged from beside Andrew. He held Krystle's arms back. She was stronger but something had tied her down.
"What did you do you two timing backstabber" I screamed bringing my fist and arm down on Courtney. Her sword went up and blocked it. Lightning crackled the air, as we were inches apart. I could see the deep rage in her eyes. Pain, loneliness, hurt. What was she hiding from us, never mind telling others. I backed up a bit seeing that.
"She didn't tell me anything." Andrew said.
"You lied to us." I gasped looking at Courtney. She looked to the left. Her eyes were hidden by hair so I couldn't see if she was looking at me or not. "You lied to us on why you brought us here. What else have you lied about huh, Courtney?" I demanded from her, looking into her face. She refused to look at me.
"Nothing." Andrew said sharply. "This is were she feels at home, just like you do when your with the Son family, Sarah. I know it and don't ask how. I can't answer that. I'm sorry but that's how it works. I will teach you if your promise to calm down." He snapped. I breathed deeply turning
"You will teach us to fight so I can defeat Darien?" I said slowly.
"NO," he said rubbing his temples as if trying to put something into words. "I will teach you to live to learn and how to keep alive. Killing your enemy solves nothing, more only come from it." He said slowly looking into my eyes.
"So I let him live with all that he does to people."
"Sarah you will avenge what happened to you in time." He said walking toward me. I growled
"But I want to kill him." I said flexing my hands as I looked at them in frustration. "I want the power that flows threw me, I want to channel that power and use it against him. I want him dead and I will hunt him to he ends of the earth for it." I growled in anger and frustration. Krystle walked over to me, hugging me tightly to comfort me. I looked to the floor to hide tears that were forming in my eyes. Andrew reached out as if to comfort me, but pulled his hand away and placed then under his cloak rapidly.
"There is a snake," Courtney said form behind me. I spun around to look at her. She was still standing her body slouched and bent. Sword tip resting on the ground her head still looked at its tip. "There is a snake that traps its prey. When it is hunted but a small animal it will play dead or weak to attract it." She said forcing control into her voice to keep it from faltering. "Then the predator becomes prey as the snake lashes out last minute." She looked up into my eyes saying that. They reminded me of something I had seen before.
"The hunted becomes the hunter." Krystle nodded behind Sarah. She bit her lip as if thinking it over. "So play dead." That got a laugh out of everyone calming us down a bit.
"No what Courtney means is don't go looking for the fight and waste time you could be training and energy, but let your prey come to you." He grinned wildly. He walked over to Courtney preying the sword from her grip. "Now that we know what were going to do, you have to learn how to do it first off." Andrew pointed out smiling at us. "Now if you care to learn you best be off and get some sleep." He said
"Sleep, sleep good." Krystle said in a drone like tone, heading to the door. We all laughed, as she made zombie like noises, making us laugh even harder. Courtney took my sides we began to walk out the door. Andrew was still behind us as we headed out. Andrew looked out at the blank stonewalls and bowed low. He said something in some off tongue that made Courtney suck her breath in deeply. He rose backing out toward us and closed the door.
"What did you say." I asked him as the door closed tightly shut. Courtney looked at him angrily.
"Ummm… I was thanking the gods for watching over us in our training." He said. Courtney's eyes sharpened at that even more. I looked at both of them. They turned looking at me.
"OK twilight zoney." I laughed nervously. They only grinned at each other. It seemed they knew what each other was thinking as they turned in unison. He looked behind at the door, and then continued on down the hall beside Courtney.
"Come on guys don't leave me out on this." I whined after them. They walked down the hall and headed up the stairs.
"Guys" I wailed and ran after them. We all laughed, it echoed down the hall.
Meanwhile still in the tavern
Serena quickly dropped the magic shield she held over herself and Goku to keep from being spotted, as soon as she felt Sarah and the others climb the stairs down the hall.
"What the hell was he saying?" Goku said rubbing his head. He had a confused look upon his face.
"It was some old language, I know a few bits but not enough to translate." Serena said rubbing her own head in trying to figure out what the young man had said.
"Okay then so were leaving our daughter with a complete skit so child named Courtney, whom is entirely creepy, a half breed sayain named Krystle with a short temper, and some young man that is here all alone, and can sense our presence. Even when he himself lacks a KI." He said rubbing his chin then sighed heavily looking at his wife. "I've think I've either went crazy for letting her do this, or am entirely to confused to figure it out." He declared looking at her. She just laughed hugging him tightly. He hugged her back pulling her head tight against the curve of his neck. "I just don't know what to do!" he said
"We do nothing." Serena said softly to him pulling away to look him in the eye. "I don't know the language or ware it's from but part of me deep inside knows what it meant." She said holing her hands over her heart she took deep breaths. "Let's see now, he knew I was the moon kingdom's queen and referred to me as such, he also knows she's our daughter. OK here is what I can sum up." She said looking at him.
"Is it a riddle I'm not good with riddles." Goku pointed out before letting her begin. She giggled.
"I know love that's why I, how shall I say, de-riddled it for you." She said smiling. He laughed softly and nodded for her to begin.
"Queen Serenity, your daughter Sarah is safe under the DeThorn household. No harm shall come to here well here. Please trust me, she will return." She said
"That's it?" Goku said
"Hey you try to figure it out!" Serena snapped. Walking up to him and yawned.
"Good point, can't we just." Goku said grinning sadly.
"No we cant, I trust them, and if she's really our daughter we need to trust her and give her some space. If she says shell return she will I know it Goku. Now I'm hungry from holding that spell, and tired and I wanna go home." Serena said pouting like a child. Goku laughed pulling her in his left arm and cradled her head against his chest. She just smiled as he grinned touching his forehead and they disappeared for home.

OMG she pulling the tap off her face likes that waxing tape and screaming in pain. LOL gtg she's on to me bye. Shit she just threw something at me this means war. Just wait *cue evil laugh ~
Fifteen minutes later in the sick rooms
"Where am I?" I said groggily looking around. Seeing a totally different atmosphere. "Where the hell am I? In some kind of Camelot thing?" I yelled as I was throwing the thick blankets off me. I then noticed that I was wearing a long white sleeping gown. What the hell I'm I wearing?" I said as is looked at the nightgown "and where in the hell I'm I? I have never seen this place before." I said as I looked around looking at the tapestries that had lined the walls. And swords and axes hung above or by them. A large fireplace that was only glowing coals now.
"Ow your up." A woman said appearing out of nowhere. I spun nervously and I held the middle of my chest gripping my hand in a fist in fright. She was dressed in a long gown and apron, holding a large tray of food. "Sorry for spooking you milady" she said in a thick ascent forcing words out. "I didn't expect you to be up so soon with the medicines the girls gave you." She said setting food down and wiped her hands. "Please eat and drink, you'll feel better." She added. Her features showed that of a loving parent. I edged over slowly sitting and sipped a drink in a mug. It was a tea, but it was extremely sweet and strong.
'Why did she cal me milady? Isn't that what they call royalty?' I thought to myself as I looked inside the cup of tea. "What is in this lady?"
"It's only honey and herbs, honey is to smooth the throat and the herbs are for a strong taste." She said trying not to laugh at the face I had made. I had to laugh at that to. The food was sweet and the best I had ever tasted. A fresh taste from the berries, and what seemed like pancakes, and the oatmeal was rich with thick cream and cinnamon. I did not dare ask what was in the second cup of tea she gave me, but it made me want to hurl even smelling it was gross. After I finished I got up to look around and saw that there was no door. I began to tense up going around in circles, feeling close in.
"Where's the door? I want to get out I am felling closed in." I demanded over and over softly, then louder and louder.
"Milady calm down, follow me." She said pulling aside a tapestry. I then began to follow her uneasy about what would be waiting for me.
"Where is Courtney and Krystle? Where are they?" I said walking down a thin hall with her starting to feel even more unease and closed in.
"I do not know who you speak of, but perhaps the lord will know." She said as she had reached large balconies with a grand stair nearby.
"Take the stair and he should be somewhere on the bottom floor, know I must run milady." She said as she walked away, I then looked at the stair then turned to her but she wasn't there anymore. This was getting freakier every minute. I ran down the stairs and threw the large hall. The metal on suits of armor seemed to be laughing at me as I ran. I became scarred and thought of Darien's castle and began to cry. "No I can't be here I can't be my friends wouldn't bring me here." I said freaking out even more. I then kept looking behind me, when I then hit something being thrown back.
"Are you OK?" a familiar voice said looking at me offering a hand. I then looked the person over; to see whom I had ran into. I didn't recognize his looks but his voice; there was something so familiar yet so distant about it.
"Do I, do I know you? For you sound familiar." I asked as I looked up at him as tears ran down my face. When I looked into his eyes, they have seemed to old for his young body, but they seemed familiar as if I've seen them some where.
" Well? Have I seen you before?" I asked again as I looked into his eyes. And noticed that they looked like I have seen them before, like they were familiar. It was something about his eyes that made them sparkle.
"No not that I know of." He grinned looking into her. 'God her eyes remind me of her mother.' He said to himself as he smiled.
"Where is Krystle and Courtney?" I demanded angrily as I pushed myself up ignoring his extended hand.
"I believe Courtney is visiting a old friend here and Krystle may be with her. But why do you cry milady? Did you hurt yourself?" He asked in a concern voice, as he placed his had on my shoulder to comfort me.
"Nothing…" I paused as I then saw a flash back. I then fell to the ground landing on my knees and holding my head in pain. "Stop please don't take me away again!" I screamed in horror, I then blanked out and looked down the hall with blank eyes.
"Milady are you all right? What is the matter?" Andrew said staring to get worried about what she might have seen, for he doesn't wan her to remember anything yet. At least until he can know how to help her adjust to the fact that she is royalty.
"What…" I said shaking my head, like I was waking up form a bad dream. "I am fine…now where is my friends?" I said getting up like nothing happened and then felt a little shaky and started to fall backwards. Then Andrew catches me and helps me to my feet.
"I think that it was to soon to be letting you go out. You still seem a little lightheaded." He said trying to get her to go back to the sick room (hospital room).
"Now show me where my friends are. For I want to know if they are safe!" I said trying to walk then seeing the walls spinning. I then shook my head and started to toughen myself up so that I wouldn't show that I was still sick.
"Fine follow me then milady." He grinned and headed down the hall. I ran up to his side walking with him.
"Why is every one calling me milady? Call me Sarah for I'm not royal so don't be calling me that, please." I said as I looked up at him and grinned. "But I know for a fact that I have heard your voice before and I will find out why." I said with determination in my voice. "But any ways what is your name sir?" I asked as I continued to look back for I felt like I was being followed.
"My name is Andrew and this here on which you are in is my home. And I'm sorry but that is what I like to call you but if you wish to be called Sarah then I will call you Sarah okay milady? OOPS sorry." He said softly with a smile. "But I'm surely that we have never meet for I'm an old friend of Courtney's, she recommended you to come here as a safe haven." He said as he opened a door as a cold breeze pulled my hair back.
"Burr… it is cold out there. Drrr! I'm still wearing this night gown." I said pouting then looked back at the gloomy hallway and was to scare to walk back for my clothes.
"Here take my cloak for this will keep you warm. For your clothes are being washed. And it is a long walk to your room. So take this and later you can change." He said as he took it off and placed it on me and tied it.
'Why is he being so caring? Whatever I will have to try my hardest to be nice.' I thought to myself. I then looked up at Andrew and smiled. "Thanks for I was scarred to go down there. For I had a bad feeling that something evil is back there." I said walking out he door.
Andrew then looks back at me and then waits till I was out of ear range. "Get the hell out you fucken creature for I will not let you take her. I promised my life on guarding her and I failed once but not twice. If I were you I would leave!" he yelled in the hallway. There you could hear a faint laughter. "Hmmmm…" he said as she slammed the door shot and walked up to me and smiled then looked back.
"What were you shouting for?" I asked as I looked back in fear.
"Nothing mil…I mean Sarah" he said as he guided me by pushing me lightly this his hand on my back.
"Please refrain form touching form my boyfriend will kill you." I said with a grin and then heard a familiar music.
Music blasted from somewhere as he began to run in the direction of it. I then followed him up and over a hill. I reached the hill and stopped. I knew the song it was 'I Stand Alone' by disturbed, one of Courtney's favorites. I smiled then looked out and then my jaw dropped at what I saw. A huge ring with stands filling the field. Stands were around its other side too. Inside stood two armored figures one seemed scared the other was confident atop a huge black horse. A roar went out as they moved forward with each other.
The rider on the black mount reared then dropped to all fours charging. The other just charged lifting their lance. I starred dumbfounded of what was going on. They clashed; the black rider sent the other rider flying in the air and onto its back. The Black rider stomped a bit annoyed by the posture, and then threw it's things on the ground as if in a hiss fit. We ran to the ring worried about the motionless rider on the ground. The riders were smaller then they looked! The black rider dismounted taking off a helmet and deep red hair fell out like a sea of blood.
"Courtney!" I gasped "then that's…" I began as I ran to Krystle's side. I helped her take the helmet off, as she looked an odd shade of pale green. "Are you okay Krystle you look sick looking?" I asked lifting her head up.
"Never again!" she yelled angered. "Screw learning how to use a huge sword and lance I'm never jousting with you again!" she said ignoring the fact that Sarah was at her side asking her questions. She then saw that Sarah was up and smiled.
"Andrew my best buddy,' Courtney began grinning evilly taping her fingers together like Mr. Burns form the Simpson.
"O' No, No don't look to me Courtney there's no way in hell." He said stepping back shaking head and hands. She the began to display her puppy eyes. "I'm not that much of a fool. I know what you and Dark Soul can do!" he snapped stepping even farther away.
"Who's dark soul" I asked nervously looking up at Andrew. "Sounds like something Darien would use. Are you in with Darien for if you are, so help thee god I will kill you."
"Don't lower my baby to suck a level." Courtney snapped in defense. I arched my eyebrow at what she said. Krystle coughed then saw Sarah's face.
"It's the freaking horse, figures shed name her best war horse Dark Soul." She said standing and pulling armor off. "Fine then if no one wants to play with me I'm going inside." She pouted turning the horse to the stables. She stopped and looked at Sarah and started to laugh.
"What" I snapped at her. She could barely breath when Andrew joined in trying to hide his chuckling behind his hand.
"You're in a nightgown." She managed to say between laughing. I folded my arms angrily.
I then took the cloak and cover myself up again.
"Well Krystle, Sarah, you probably want a nice hot bath. Why not go inside I need to talk to Courtney for a while." He said. We began to walk to the castle, when I turned from the saddle to look at them. He didn't say anything, but she seemed entranced. I shrugged it off and headed grabbed Krystle's waist tighter as she urged the horse into a slow crater.
The next morning at Bulma's home
"Goku wake up! Come on!" Serena yelled as she shacked Goku's arm to try to get him up. She then began to yank on his arm trying to get him to fall off the couch. "Come on, I want to see my baby, get your ass up you lazy man!" she said as she began to turn in to eternal moon and throw Goku off the couch into the wall.
"What the hell?" Goku said puzzled as he yawned rubbing his eyes. "Well honey nice outfit." Goku said with a grin looking her up and down.
"Shut up you idiot I'm not in the mood! I have been trying to get you up for the last 2 hours!" Serena said with a frown as she taps her foot on the floor with anger.
"Sorry dear I am a sayain. We sayains sleep heavily. But let me go take a shower and let me eat and I will find Sarah's KI and then we will go see her." He said as he got up walking over to her and held her close to her to get her to smile. He then leaned over to her face and kissed her on her lips and smiled at her.
"Oh Goku you always knows how to cheer me up. You can be stupid some times, but I love you. I will get your breakfast ready while you go take your shower." Serena said as she a silver color showed upon her body and she turned back to normal and smiles back to Goku. "So get a move on! For I would like to see my baby now." She said as she moved to the refrigerator taking out a meal to feed 10 men.
That Night in Germany (afternoon at Bulma's)
"Will you stop fighting!" Courtney snapped at Krystle and me. We stood their arms out holding what soon would be luxurious gowns, from what she said. Though I didn't completely trust her with sticking pins so close to my body. Courtney laughed at how uneasy I was. Krystle winced when Courtney stuck pins in her dress close to her skin.
"Will you be careful!" I snapped at her. "I don't completely trust you, you know!" I said she only laughed shoving another pin threw my cloth.
"There were done, Trisha will be sewing these up for me since I must finish my own outfit for the masquerade ball." I said as the seamstress Trisha took the dresses off the girls and walked out to the sewing room.
"So what are you wearing?" Krystle asked, jumping off the pedestal.
"Ya I mean you know what were wearing. Why can we know what you're wearing, it's not fare you know." I said rubbing my shoulders. They hurt for holding my hands out like that for so long. She only grinned evilly. 'She was up to something and I didn't exactly trust her at the moment, especial in this place. Not to mention how weird Andrew was acting with Courtney, it frightened me. How well did she really know this guy.' I thought to myself looking at Courtney, though she was happy I would put up with playing along for now.
"Come on please?" Krystle begged as she sat down near Courtney and smiled and gave her version of the puppy eyes.
"NO now lay off." Courtney snapped. Krystle recoiled quickly; even she was scared of Courtney at the moment. Courtney only grinned and walked to the doorway. "Come on you need to go eat." She said sighing in frustration. "Ill show you to the dinning hall." She started off threw a door, we followed her slowly exchanging looks. Something definitely was up with her!
"I thought I was bad with me being in heat and shit…and that reminds me I wan to invite my honey to the ball." I said with a smile.
"That sound like a real good idea, right when you are in the middle of your freaking heat. Will I guess that I will bring Goten in case we need to get trunks to get away from you. She said sarcastically as she started to laugh.
We sat at dinner alone noticing that Andrew and Courtney wasn't here. But there were a few teachers here, most were chatting between themselves. Tonight dinner was very thick soup with bread and water or wine.
"So you hungry?" Krystle said looking up from her soup at me. A mischievous grin played across her lips.
"In fact I'm not." I declared rising from my seat. She followed my example and we headed out of the dinning hall. We somehow found ourselves in a long dark hall. I looked at the walls, paints hung all along here. They were of warriors and dragons and things. The last final one was a large painting over a huge door shaped like a sun. It was a painting of what seemed countryside. A crystal palace seemed to glow on a cliff side. Dragons flew in the sky. The land was full of what seemed elves in armor atop huge unicorn horses. There were five leaders of these. There was young girl with sharp blue eyes in the center of the group, wearing grand armor. Her unicorn wore grand armor but was a deep black. What seemed her two brothers were on her left and right followed by their parents on either side of them. It seemed so real, as if it was a real place. I was brought back to myself hearing clash of steal. I looked once again at the doors. Krystle nodded, and we both pushed the doors open a bit to look inside. Courtney and Andrew were sparing. Courtney wore grand armor he wore a flowing cloak with armor under it. Around them, there was a large empty cavern. It seemed to be lighted naturally from some unknown source. She seemed in a trance, but a determined grin across her face.
"It looks the same as when she got up from the bleachers to kill Vegeta!" Krystle gasped. "You don't think she wants to kill Andrew do you? I mean he's so nice to us." She hissed uneasy. I eyed Courtney as she fought. She was so confident. I felt something pull at me but ignored it.
"You feel that?" Krystle hissed in my ear.
"Ya but what is it?" I said
"I don't know." She mumbled ignoring it. Then I saw something that I had never seen on Courtney before.
"Is that a tattoo?" I gasped a bit to loudly Andrew froze. Courtney pulled her sword up and under his chin. Making his chin rise. He saw us opening his mouth. I stumbled forward throwing the door open. She was going to kill him!
"That was a foolish move Andrew," she declared still in a trance. Her tattoo seemed alive. Krystle was not the only one who saw it.
"Yes and I resign you have won this match Courtney" he declared dropping his sword. She grinned then saw us from the corner of her eye. She spun turning on us lowering the sword.
"What are you doing here?" she growled angered at us.
"We... we..." Krystle said.
"You were following me, I told you not to gods above why must you be so nosy?" she screamed at us, venom in her voice.
"Courtney what's on your arm?" I asked softly. "You never had a tattoo before." I moved for her. She growled moving away and pulled her top armor off. She wore a tank under it.
"Courtney answer me!" I demanded.
"I don't know I." she paused as if thinking of a cover. " I got it done for my sixteenth." She lied I could tell that. I could tell she wouldn't tell me the truth so ignored it. She pulled a shirt that came to her elbows on. "You never noticed because I always were guys cloths," she snapped. Krystle winced at the harshness in her voice.
"Shhh…" Andrew said looking around. We all went quiet.
"What's wrong" Courtney said sword in hand again.
"I don't know I thought." He said shrugging it off. "Well then girls" he said smiling clasping hands together. "Although I don't like you barging into our training sessions I have something important to tell you. Courtney has told me about your predicament in the US." He began we looked at her. She just looked at her feet uneasy. "Guys its okay, your secret is safe, but I have some of the best teachers that can help you. They will teach you all forms of fighting. You will learn and head home once they feel you've learned enough." He declared
"What...What the hell did you tell him." I screamed lunging at Courtney. She didn't even see me or didn't care to. I slammed her into the wall of the cavern. It shook from the impact. "What…the…Fuck…Did…you…tell…him…" I screamed banging her over and over into the wall. It left cracks in the wall leaving her imprint. She didn't even wince in pain from it. I growled in anger at that and threw her across the cavern. I turned and slowly walked toward her she stood sword in hand.
"Sarah calm down please!" Krystle begged from beside Andrew. He held Krystle's arms back. She was stronger but something had tied her down.
"What did you do you two timing backstabber" I screamed bringing my fist and arm down on Courtney. Her sword went up and blocked it. Lightning crackled the air, as we were inches apart. I could see the deep rage in her eyes. Pain, loneliness, hurt. What was she hiding from us, never mind telling others. I backed up a bit seeing that.
"She didn't tell me anything." Andrew said.
"You lied to us." I gasped looking at Courtney. She looked to the left. Her eyes were hidden by hair so I couldn't see if she was looking at me or not. "You lied to us on why you brought us here. What else have you lied about huh, Courtney?" I demanded from her, looking into her face. She refused to look at me.
"Nothing." Andrew said sharply. "This is were she feels at home, just like you do when your with the Son family, Sarah. I know it and don't ask how. I can't answer that. I'm sorry but that's how it works. I will teach you if your promise to calm down." He snapped. I breathed deeply turning
"You will teach us to fight so I can defeat Darien?" I said slowly.
"NO," he said rubbing his temples as if trying to put something into words. "I will teach you to live to learn and how to keep alive. Killing your enemy solves nothing, more only come from it." He said slowly looking into my eyes.
"So I let him live with all that he does to people."
"Sarah you will avenge what happened to you in time." He said walking toward me. I growled
"But I want to kill him." I said flexing my hands as I looked at them in frustration. "I want the power that flows threw me, I want to channel that power and use it against him. I want him dead and I will hunt him to he ends of the earth for it." I growled in anger and frustration. Krystle walked over to me, hugging me tightly to comfort me. I looked to the floor to hide tears that were forming in my eyes. Andrew reached out as if to comfort me, but pulled his hand away and placed then under his cloak rapidly.
"There is a snake," Courtney said form behind me. I spun around to look at her. She was still standing her body slouched and bent. Sword tip resting on the ground her head still looked at its tip. "There is a snake that traps its prey. When it is hunted but a small animal it will play dead or weak to attract it." She said forcing control into her voice to keep it from faltering. "Then the predator becomes prey as the snake lashes out last minute." She looked up into my eyes saying that. They reminded me of something I had seen before.
"The hunted becomes the hunter." Krystle nodded behind Sarah. She bit her lip as if thinking it over. "So play dead." That got a laugh out of everyone calming us down a bit.
"No what Courtney means is don't go looking for the fight and waste time you could be training and energy, but let your prey come to you." He grinned wildly. He walked over to Courtney preying the sword from her grip. "Now that we know what were going to do, you have to learn how to do it first off." Andrew pointed out smiling at us. "Now if you care to learn you best be off and get some sleep." He said
"Sleep, sleep good." Krystle said in a drone like tone, heading to the door. We all laughed, as she made zombie like noises, making us laugh even harder. Courtney took my sides we began to walk out the door. Andrew was still behind us as we headed out. Andrew looked out at the blank stonewalls and bowed low. He said something in some off tongue that made Courtney suck her breath in deeply. He rose backing out toward us and closed the door.
"What did you say." I asked him as the door closed tightly shut. Courtney looked at him angrily.
"Ummm… I was thanking the gods for watching over us in our training." He said. Courtney's eyes sharpened at that even more. I looked at both of them. They turned looking at me.
"OK twilight zoney." I laughed nervously. They only grinned at each other. It seemed they knew what each other was thinking as they turned in unison. He looked behind at the door, and then continued on down the hall beside Courtney.
"Come on guys don't leave me out on this." I whined after them. They walked down the hall and headed up the stairs.
"Guys" I wailed and ran after them. We all laughed, it echoed down the hall.
Meanwhile still in the tavern
Serena quickly dropped the magic shield she held over herself and Goku to keep from being spotted, as soon as she felt Sarah and the others climb the stairs down the hall.
"What the hell was he saying?" Goku said rubbing his head. He had a confused look upon his face.
"It was some old language, I know a few bits but not enough to translate." Serena said rubbing her own head in trying to figure out what the young man had said.
"Okay then so were leaving our daughter with a complete skit so child named Courtney, whom is entirely creepy, a half breed sayain named Krystle with a short temper, and some young man that is here all alone, and can sense our presence. Even when he himself lacks a KI." He said rubbing his chin then sighed heavily looking at his wife. "I've think I've either went crazy for letting her do this, or am entirely to confused to figure it out." He declared looking at her. She just laughed hugging him tightly. He hugged her back pulling her head tight against the curve of his neck. "I just don't know what to do!" he said
"We do nothing." Serena said softly to him pulling away to look him in the eye. "I don't know the language or ware it's from but part of me deep inside knows what it meant." She said holing her hands over her heart she took deep breaths. "Let's see now, he knew I was the moon kingdom's queen and referred to me as such, he also knows she's our daughter. OK here is what I can sum up." She said looking at him.
"Is it a riddle I'm not good with riddles." Goku pointed out before letting her begin. She giggled.
"I know love that's why I, how shall I say, de-riddled it for you." She said smiling. He laughed softly and nodded for her to begin.
"Queen Serenity, your daughter Sarah is safe under the DeThorn household. No harm shall come to here well here. Please trust me, she will return." She said
"That's it?" Goku said
"Hey you try to figure it out!" Serena snapped. Walking up to him and yawned.
"Good point, can't we just." Goku said grinning sadly.
"No we cant, I trust them, and if she's really our daughter we need to trust her and give her some space. If she says shell return she will I know it Goku. Now I'm hungry from holding that spell, and tired and I wanna go home." Serena said pouting like a child. Goku laughed pulling her in his left arm and cradled her head against his chest. She just smiled as he grinned touching his forehead and they disappeared for home.
