SHATTERED
Chapter 8: MISSING
Isis walked down the street quickly. She was crying. She knew what she had done and couldn't stop it. She looked up to the sky and felt a drop of rainfall. The rain began to drizzle and she cursed angrily. She was about to turn back when she saw something gleam on the street. She went forward and bent down. She examined what she found. A bunch of keys. But whose? She looked at it and saw the key chain. It said: KRELLEN*18*MARRON. She gasped and turned around to go back to the dreaded house grasping the keys tightly in her hand.
*~*~*~*~*
"Well Bulma, we had fun, but I think we should hit the road now," Krellen said. Bulma nodded. "By the way, did you see Marron?" he asked. "No, not for a while," she said looking at him. "Well, I can't find my keys…let me ask 18." He said. "I'll check around for her," Bulma said getting up. Krellen nodded and went over to 18. "Hey Hon, do you have the keys?" he asked. She felt her pockets. "No. Marron has them. I had given them---" They both got up and ran to the window. They saw through the pelting rain the jet, still there. They both sighed with relief and went back over to the table. Bulma came over to them with a worried expression on her face. "I can't find her," she said. "I checked the monitors of the main rooms, I went in the bathrooms, Choutzu and Tien are checking now the other bathrooms." She said. 18 and Krellen looked at each other. Bra came over to them. "What's wrong guys?" she asked. "Marron's missing," 18 said. "Oh, don't worry, she told me to tell you guys that she was taking the jet home, I guess I forgot to tell you." She said laughing. "That would be helpful to us Bra except that the jet is still outside." Krellen said. Bra's smile faded. "She's not in the house?" Bra asked. Bulma shook her head. Bra gasped and then the doorbell rung. "I'll get it." Yamcha said. He was right by the door. He opened the door and Isis collapsed in his arms. She was soaking wet from the storm outside and had something clutched tightly in her hand. "Hey, hey, are you alright?" Yamcha asked. Isis nodded and coughed. Bulma came over to her. "Bra, get a towel and a blanket for Isis," she said. Bulma let Isis over to the couch and she sat down trembling. "Bulma…I found…this on…on the street," she said holding up the keys. They all gasped when they saw the keys dangling in her hand. Krellen stood petrified, 18 was aghast. It was plain and simple, and Krellen was now aware of the painful truth---his daughter was missing.

He laid Marron's limp body on the bed and covered her with a blanket. She had fainted out of partial shock and fear. He stared at her sleeping form and smiled. She was beautiful. So were the others. Marron's so called friends. They would be harder to charm and so he decided to stick with her. She was pretty, a bit clumsy, but that would all soon change. He licked his teeth and felt an urge to have a drink. He went over to Marron and touched her neck. He leaned over and bit into her flesh softly. She flinched but didn't wake up. He smiled to himself, and feasted on her blood. She was sweet. Sweeter than he had expected. He reluctantly pulled away and touched the wound on her neck. It disappeared instantly and he sighed. Should he do it? Should he create another one of his kind?
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Oh my god Marron's missing!" 18 said. Krellen sat down on the couch and held his head in his hands. Bra came back and gave Isis the towel and Bulma the blanket. "It'll be ok guys, we'll find her," Bulma said. Krellen looked at 18 and she touched his shoulder. "She can't be too far," 18 said. Krellen nodded and got up. "We have to find her," he said. "We'll start a search party," Yamcha said. They nodded. "Bra, take care of Isis, go upstairs and give her some dry clothes, we'll start looking, I'll get Vegeta," Bulma said. They nodded. She touched Krellen's shoulder. "We'll find her," she said. He nodded and they began their search.

Marron stirred in the bed and saw her abductor standing looking out the window. He turned around and looked at her. She looked down and rubbed her neck. "I feel drained," she said. He nodded. "I know, its ok," he said. She looked around and surveyed the room. It was an elegantly furnished room, completely submerged in black, except for the soft glow coming from the lamp. He went over to her and took her hand. "Marron, I have something to ask you. I have an offer, you can't refuse…"
