I'm really sorry, but getting chapters up are REALLY hard for me! My
computer decided to be totally retarded and won't turn on so now I have to
rely on the computers at the public library. (. yarg. This sucks. Anyway,
I'm trying my best to get these to you so if you have to wait a bit, review
and I'll try hard. If you don't review then I won't go to all the trouble
and I won't post for a really long time, so review! Also, on the last
chapter I made a slight error and I just realized it, when Gohan said "I'm
going to talk with my dad," it was suppose to be mom, his dad didn't come
back (yet).

Chapter nine; Running Away
"Well," I started out once everyone had sat down, "I'll start with when the sun set." I paused for a moment, what HAD happened?
Suddenly I just started talking, not sure I was really the one speaking.
"First it got really dark, it felt like my skin was being pierced from every angle and direction. Then I heard someone speaking, but it was muffled and I couldn't make out any words, if there were any words. Someone started communicating with me in my mind, I shut my eyes to try and see a face, but I couldn't. Whoever it was, he wanted me dead, and he was the one that kill-" I stopped, who killed Robert, I wanted to say.
No, I thought, I couldn't let them know of such a weakness. I finished the story quickly ending with when I passed out.
"And you say someone contacted you in your....mind and you don't know how or who?" Krillin asked, why was he acting weird?
"And you don't know why you're still alive?" Bulma said, what was with these people?
'Switching bodies is a definite clue, but I can't tell them about Gohan and I! I have to say something, they're acting so strange!' I thought.
"I'm as clueless as you are." I lied, they exchanged glances and an ugly thought crossed my mind.
"Chichi," I asked trying to change the subject and figure something out at the same time, "how long did you say we were asleep?"
"Well, we brought you back here at about seven, and it's nine thirty right now; a few hours, why?" she responded.
"No reason." I lied again.
"Why don't you go lay down." Chichi suggested to both Gohan and myself.
"Sure," I agreed, "why not?" and we both walked out of the room.
I began to walk down the hall rather loudly, then I stopped grabbing Gohan's wrist to stop as well. I put a finger to my lips and turned back, walking back very quietly.
I stood next to the open door and listened for the voices as Gohan did the same. At first I couldn't hear a thing because they were whispering so quietly and leaned in.
"Should we believe her?"
"Was she making it up?"
"She DID hesitate for a moment."
"What if she really thought it happened?"
"Are you suggesting she's crazy?"
"What if she is?"
"I will NOT house a crazy girl! That's the insane asylum's job."
"Should we do something?"
"What if it really did happen?"
"Are you crazy? She probably made that entire story up to try and fool us into giving her shelter and food for free. I bet she came here on purpose!"
I turned away closing my eyes and ears, breathing heavily, they thought I was crazy! I knew they were thinking something, but if they took drastic measures....I didn't finish the thought.
I walked back down the hall softly with Gohan behind me. Entering Gohan's room, I motioned for him to follow.
I turned to face him with tears in my eyes, "They think I'm crazy." I cried.
"They don't know." He said, trying to sound comforting.
"I've decided." I sniffed.
"Decided what?"
"I'm going to leave. I can't stay here any longer."
"NO! You can't leave! We'll only switch back again!"
"I don't care! If I stay here, they could do something drastic to me, or even you if you're in my body."
"I don't want you to leave."
"I don't want to leave, I have no where to go, but I'll be alright. I've taken self-defense classes and I know the basics of survival."
"Please don't go."
"Think of what could happen if I did stay."
He was silent as he looked downward.
"Goodbye Gohan." I whispered and left for my room.

Midnight:
I sneaked out into the darkness with a black bag. I had put together a few necessities I knew I would need. I had a flashlight, lots of matches, some non-spoil foods, a canteen of water, a space blanket, a hunting knife, a first aid kit, and (I shudder terribly) three of Goku's gis from his room, one of which I was wearing.
I couldn't run in Chichi's dress and I hated it so I had to use something that wouldn't be missed. I had also taken the pair of boots I was wearing. I put the strap over my neck and swung the bag over so it would lie on my back, making running easier.
I stretched in the shadows so I wouldn't pull a muscle and looked out into the night. I wanted to get as far away as possible from the house so I would start out in a sprint, then as I drew away, I would slow into a jog.
I would try to stay as far away from civilization as possible and into a forest. I had been searching the house and finally found a map so I knew the quickest way to the closest forest. Making sure my bag was secure, I raced into the night, hoping to never be seen again.

Sorry it's so short, writer's block you know. I can't add it to this chapter because then it would be too long, but the next chapter will be very interesting and VERY important. REVIEW!! Also, I'm thinking about a Justice League story that kinda just came to me one day, it might sound corny, but trust me, it'll be okay! Tell me what you think, yay or ne? GIVE ME ADVICE! And please don't forget to REVIEW!!!
