Secret Sibilings



Chapter 10: "Trina's Illness"



It had only been two hours since Primo and the two girls had gotten back and Trina still hadn't woken up. Keiko was bennging to believe Melfina's prediction about Trina being sick. Not even she saw that coming, but then again, she didn't see the andriod attack till it was almost too late to do anything. Keiko watchs quietly as Melfina paces the room. The black haired girl was very worried over her older friend and who couldn't blame her? The black haired boy, Primo was standing in a corner, looking out the window. And Trinket had left to go check up on Kentala. Keiko turns her gaze to the sleeping form of Trina. The blonde haired girl had slipped in and out of coiuncess, but had never actually woken up. Right now she was sleeping peacefully, instead of her usual trashing about.

"Keiko?" Melfina's soft voice asks.

Keiko turns her gaze up to look at her friend.

"What's wrong?"

Well, what if Trina is sick? Then what will we do?"

Keiko looks down. She didn't even want to think about it. Her thought kept turning to the future, the future that had so much death and destruction. That's when a thought came to her. If she was younger sister to past Videl, what had happened to future Videl?

"Ummm, Melfina?" Keiko asks.

Melfina turns to look at Keiko.

"What is it?" Melfina asks.

Keiko looks down again.

"Did you ever know Videl in the future?"

Melfina blinks then thinks about it. After a few minutes she shakes her head.

"No. I don't think Videl was ever born in the future."

Keiko looks over to Primo, then looks out the window. As she watched the tides, she contuies thinking. All of thier parents, including hers, had to be worried. She knew Trina didn't have any parents, and she knew Trinket and Melfina had only a mother. That didn't stop them from worrying about thier children.

"I'm so worried." Keiko hears Melfina say.

"I am also, but I'm also worried about the future."

Keiko turns to Melfina as she looks at her.

"Why?"

"Becuase.."

Keiko cuts off and looks down.

"Keiko?"

"None of us were strong enough to defeat the andriods in the future. When we left, the whole world was in turmoil. We need to go back and check up on it, and defeat the andriods of we can."

Melfina nods and Keiko goes over to her. Primo looks over at them with ice blue eyes.

"We'll be back. Tell Trinket where we went."

Primo nods and both girls disapper. As soon as they disapper, Trina lets out a small groan and Primo walks over to her.

"Dovev, don't." Trina whimpers.

Primo smiles softly and gets down on his knees beside the bed. He leans forward and kisses Trina on the forward.

"Calm down, Trina. I'm here."

"Dovev?" Trina asks, waking up.

Primo smiles and Trina looks over at him.

"Primo?"

Primo nods. Trina turns her head away.

"Where's the girls?"

"Keiko and Melfina went into the future and Trinket went to check up on your sister."

Trina instantly sits up, but falls back with a groan.

"Hey, don't try to get up yet."

Trina glares at Primo, but lets her expression soften.

"Hey, I'm trying to help. I'm not here to hurt anyone." Primo says.

Trina smiles and slowly closes her eyes. By this time, Trinket was on her way back, with Kentala on her back. And by this time Keiko and Melfina had made it to the future.

"This is terrible!"

Keiko gives a half nod as the wind blows through her hair.

"Where are we?" Keiko asks.

"Umm...looks like Ginger Town." Melfina answers.

Both girls start walking around. As they leave the city, Melfina sighs.

"Let's check up on our parents." Keiko suggests.

Melfina nods and both fly up.

"If you run into the andriods, don't try to fight them. Turn tail and run."

Melfina laughs at how Keiko said that, but nods nonetheless.

"You do the same, alright?" Melfina asks.

Keiko nods and both girls fly off in thier own sperate directions.

"Good to see you again."

The lavendar haired girl nods as she lands on the ground.

"Where is everybody?" She asks.

"Still asleep upstairs and went to the future." Primo answers.

Trinket sighs and walks inside.

"How's Kentala?"

"Not too bad. She should be waking up soon."

Trinket lays Kentala down on the couch and sits down in a chair beside the couch.

As Keiko flies, she can't help but wonder, how did she find out she was related to Videl if she was never born in the future. It was a preminition that came to her, but she hadn't believed it at first. Keiko lands at where her house once stood. She looks around and shudders.

"Mom? Dad?" She calls.

She starts walking around, looking under rubble.

"The andriods did a number on this place. Mother!"

Keiko runs over to a pile of rubble and starts moving it. Once she gets enough off, she sees the pale skin of her mother's face. She takes more rubble off and gently pulls her mother's body out of the rubble.

"Mother? Mother, wake up!"

Keiko already knows she's dead, but she doesn't want to believe it. Now she knew why Videl wasn't born. She places her hand on her mother's stomache as tears roll down her cheeks. In the future she was going to be the oldest of the two sibilings, but becuase of the andriods attack, her mother died while still pregant with Videl. In the past, that hadn't happened so Keiko was the younger sister to Videl. Keiko gently puts her mother down and starts moving more rubble, hoping to find her father alive. She doesn't find him anywhere. She leaves her home with a sad heart and deep sorrow.
