Caryn woke up with Trunks arms still wrapped around her pleasantly. She gave a sigh of content. Then she remembered where she was going today, she was going to get out of this blasted desert once and for all! She gave a small squeak of excitement. She gently peeled Trunks arms for around her before getting up, and getting dressed in her shorts and shirt she had made out of one of the wildebeest she had killed for supper a while back, the outfit was of a dark brown, almost black color, and it was softer than any cotton she had worn back home. After she was done dressing, she decided it was time to wake up Trunks, as she turned around to wake him, she was startled to find him awake and watching her with those icy blue eyes. "So I see you're awake", Caryn said as she bended down to gently kiss him. "thank you" she added quietly as he smiled up at her and propped himself up on one elbow. "what are you thanking me for? You're the one I should be thanking." He said smiling and earning himself another kiss. "Thank you for last night, thank you for training me, thank you for this ring, and most of all thank you for you." Trunks had slowly stood up throughout her little thank-you speech, when she had finished, he gently kissed her and whispered, "I should thank you, not the other way around." For reasons unknown to Caryn, she suddenly turned beat red. She quickly changed the subject, "Hurry up sleepy head, I want to get home and beat Trent's ass, as soon as possible. And I want to introduce you to my mom and family, my sister will have a fit." This earned Trunks a round of blushes. Trunks got dressed in some cotton baggy pants and his regular tank top shirt, he didn't like the leather homemade clothes, he said they made him itch. As Caryn walked by him to pick up her pack, she couldn't help but pinch Trunks butt as she passed him. He looked at her in startelment, then mock scowled at her. After they had all of their supplies and packs ready, they took to the air.
As they flew through the air, Caryn studied her ring that Trunks had given her. The stone was an impossibly deep green, the reflection it gave off from the sun was gorgeous. And the writing around it, what language was it? Where was it from? How did Trunks get it? All these questions and more were buzzing through her head as Trunks reached over and gently held her hand in his as they flew home.
When Caryn saw the distant shoreline of the United States, she squeezed Trunks hand for reassurance. I wonder how mom is, and Allie, and even Johnny. I've been gone so loong now. Mabey they're mad that I left so quickly, I could've sent them just one letter. No, because then they'd know where I'd gone, and so would my enemies. God! I miss them so much. With this thought she shot forward going twice the speed she had been flying on her hurry to get home.
As Trunks and Caryn were flying over the Appalachian Mountains, out of no where shot a energy beam hitting Trunks hard in the side. Trunks fell to the ground gaining speed. Cary raced down to catch him. She helped him up as he surveyed the damage. It wasn't that bad, it just looked bad. " Where the hell did that come from?" Trunks demanded angrily. "Beats me, I'll go check it out." Caryn stated plainly and before Trunks could protest, Caryn was shooting off to where Trunks had fallen from the sky.
As Caryn neared the spot they had been flying when Trunks had been hit, another beam shot towards her, she easily swatted it away, the only reason the earlier one had even harmed Trunks was because they were surprised. She shot down to wear the beam originated. She landed quickly in the clearing of some pine trees to see a figure dart through the Forrest. Caryn cursed under her breath. She hated it when she had to chase things on foot. Flying was so much easier. She quickly caught up to the fleeing attacker and tackled her into some brush, easily pinning their attacker. As she got a better look and the person she was restraining she found that it was a young girl, no older than 14. She had bright red hair with deep black eyes shining with defiance. "Why did you shoot at me!?" Caryn asked in a growl. "I wont tell you anything you traitorous bitch!!" the girl yelled back at her, now Caryn was starting to loose her temper. "I'm not a traitor you little wretch! I've come to fight those demons, now what I want to know is why the hell did you shoot down my partner and try to shoot me!?" The girl looked shocked at the words that were coming out of Caryn's mouth. "What, how can you fly then?" the girl asked ignoring Caryn's question. Caryn let the girl up seeing the defiance replaced with curiosity. "I learned from a friend." At this answer the girl shot another energy beam at Caryn, snarling. Caryn caught it and shot it harmlessly into space. "Will you stop doing that please" Caryn said exasperated. But before she could say anything else, she felt Trunk's ki coming near. Trunks landed lightly beside the two girls "I see you caught her, what a surprise." Trunks said with a grin to Caryn. "I'm not the one that got hit by her." Caryn replied evilly. Trunks brushed aside her remark with a smirk, "So what have you gotten out of her, pupil?" Trunks asked, making the last word an insult. " I think she's a renegade, but could things have gotten that bad while we were gone?" Caryn answered Trunks, turning serious. "We've been gone only a year, it's very possible that things could have turned for the worst." Trunks answered thoughtfully. At this Caryn turned paper white, "I've got to get home, If anything has happened to them…I'll never be able to forgive myself." Caryn and Trunks flew off towards the small town of Golden, with no idea what they were in for, and leaving a very startled young woman running to tell her band about the attack.
As Caryn and Trunks neared Caryn's home, the signs of destruction and hard times littered the countryside. Instead of Caryn breaking down like he had expected of her, determination and deadly rage replaced the tears and sorrow that should have been there. Trunks stopped Caryn when they were about twenty miles from Caryn's home. "We can't just go rushing into this, we have to have a plan, a line of action." Trunks said gently, looking into her emerald green eyes.
