Secret Sibilings
Chapter 9: "A Crystal Teardrop"
Videl listens in quietly as Trina and Trinket talk. They had stopped running to rest and both girls had started talking. One thing that had caught Videl's attetion was the mention that Keiko and Melfina might have been captured. She listened quietly as both girls argured about that.
"What are you two arugring about?" Came a familar voice.
All three girls turn around to see Keiko and Melfina looking at them. Melfina had her hands crossed in front of her, while Keiko had a hand on her hip.
"Keiko! Mel! Where were you guys?"
"Spying."
"On who?"
"Hana and somebody else."
Trina's eyes light up.
"What did they look like?"
Keiko looks like she's trying to remember.
"I'm not sure, but they were talking about some sort of crystal."
Trina starts looking slightly confused. Hana had turned to the good side and unless she was tricking the other, she wouldn't be talking to them.
"A crystal?"
"What kind of crystal?"
"A kind of teardrop."
Trina, Trinket, and Videl look at each other. Keiko walks up and whispers something into Trina's ear and Trina looks shocked.
"Is she alright?!"
Keiko nods and Trina sighs with relief.
"You need to stop doing that."
Keiko smiles.
"Why don't we rest before we go looking for that crystal."
Everybody nods in agreement. They find various places on the ground to lay down and fall asleep. After a while, Trina wakes up, stifiling a scream. Her body had began aching but not the serious pains she usually has. She wasn't quite sure what was causing it now. She stands up, but that turns out to be a mistake as dizziness sets in. Trina falls to her knees, holding her head. After a while she looks up to see a firgure looking at her. As she notices who the firgure looks like, her stomache tightens. It's that boy from before. He beckons for her and she slowly stands up. The dizziness is gone so she follows him.
"What do you want this time?"
He turns towards her and Trina steps back. He has a look of absoulete horror on his face.
"You need to help me."
"Why should I help you?"
"Because if you don't, your friends, yourself, and your sister will die."
A feeling of dread filled Trina. All the friends she had made, including the Z fighters would die, but how? Trina's curiousity and horror got the best of her.
"What do you need help with?"
"I need you to help me find a crystal."
"The teardrop?"
The boy nods and Trina pales.
"Tell me your name."
"Primo."
"Firstborn. Fits you."
Trina says as she notices something vaugely familar about him. She dismisses it and turns back towards the other girls. Primo puts his hands on Trina's shoulders and she invoulitary shivers. Primo takes his hands back and Trina turns back towards him.
"Sorry." She says simply.
He nods.
***
Three hours later found the four girls and Primo flying over islands, looking for the crystal. Trina hadn't slept much after Primo had asked for her help, and now that was taking it's toll on her body and mind. She starts lagging behind. Keiko is the first to notice. She turns her head and then stops as she sees Trina. Her eyes are half closed and her face is pale. Keiko flies back beside her and Trina stops, panting.
"Trina, are you alright?"
Trina shakes her head.
"I'm exhuasted. I didn't sleep much and after Dovev getting killed...."
Keiko nods.
"I feel like I'm going to pass out." Trina mumbles as she puts a hand to her forehead.
And she does. Keiko catchs her as she starts falling from the sky.
***
"What's wrong with her?" Asks a concerned Melfina.
"She's exhausted. Let her rest." Answers Keiko.
Trina heard thier voices, but was not waking up. She shivers slightly, then begins panting.
"You sure she's just tired?"
Beside Trina, Keiko pales.
"What are you suggesting?"
"She could be sick."
Melfina and Trinket lift thier heads up. Trinket wasn't one to trust Primo so easily, but, like Trina, she felt as if she knew him.
"And if she is?"
"Well, have to wait it out."
"We can't! Not with our enemys going for the crystal."
Keiko looks down. Now she was wishing they had let Videl come. They had argured that she should stay behind becuase she couldn't do enegry blasts. Videl was insulted, but agreed to it. Keiko lifts her head up and tilts it to the side as she hears something that the others haven't noticed. She stands up and walks over to the window. She looks out and the other three stop talking.
"We have company. Looks like Hana."
Trinket and Melfina run over and look out also. It is Hana, but she looks like she's in a hurry. She passes by them and they duck down as another person goes by. Behind them, Trina groans loudly and the three look concerned.
***
"Come on!"
"Coming!"
"Keep Trina safe!"
"I will!"
Primo, Melfina, and Trinket fly up into the sky and Keiko waves as the three fly off.
"You sure that was a good idea?" Primo asks.
"Oh yea. With her premintion ability, Trina's fine."
The three fall silent and keep flying. Melfina flies over beside Trinket and whispers something in her ear. Trinket nods and answers back. Melfina looks surprised and whispers something once more. Before Trinket can respond, Primo gestures for them to follow him. They do and they fly down towards the ground. They land and Primo looks around. He starts digging and both girls cover their eyes asa blinding flash of light appears. The glowing dies down and both girls look at the object in Primo's hands.
"Is that...the Crystal Teardrop?"
Primo nods and quickly covers it up.
"Yes, and with it buried, it's enegry can't be deteced. I found it becuase I knew where it was." He adds as Keiko looks as him, suspciously.
"Come on, let's go back to see how well Trina is doing."
Aeris: We had writer's block.
Disclimaer: We don't own DBZ.
