Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, end of story. (Wish it weren't)
I didn't know what I was expecting. I thought he'd kill me right then and there, but he didn't. After roughly shoving some money into one of my guards' hands he just took my chain and yanked me after him. He took to the sky so fast it was all I could do to keep from being dragged along like cargo. I couldn't look back, and I was grateful for that. I don't know how long we were flying, but it was the longest I'd ever flown in my life. Finally, we landed at a large building, dome-shaped and walked inside. The door automatically locked after it was shut.
He finally took off my chains, well, actually he blasted them off. Then he handed me off to a striking woman with blue hair and startling blue eyes. She led me to a bedroom and proceeded to tell me this would be mine, temporarily.
".I say temporarily because Vegeta still has to test what kind of slave you are going to be to him." I assumed Vegeta to be the man who bought me.
"My name's Bulma if you need anything. There's food in the kitchen if you want." and then she proceeded to show me the kitchen, which I discovered was just down the next hallway. She seemed to talk an awful lot, and whether or not she noticed that I didn't say anything, she didn't acknowledge it. After that, she sent me to my room, and told me that Vegeta will send for me early in the morning, so I better be prepared. She then closed the door and like any other door in this place, it locked behind her.

I didn't sleep much that night. Neither would you if you were in my place. I had tried the door once, but I knew blasting it would have been senseless, somebody would hear, and I didn't exactly want to die yet. So I lay down to wait. I didn't know when he'd come for me, but I didn't want to be caught unprepared. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't care if I weren't ready, he'd probably think it to his advantage.
And what did that lady, Bulma, mean about testing me? I haven't been in school for awhile, not in a few years at least. We've been too busy training, but dad never let us slack off in studies, he taught us all he knew, but then I don't know if that will be enough.
Just then I heard someone come down the hall. I'd been awake most of the night, and even though I didn't have a window in this room, I knew it had to be somewhere just before dawn. It sounded as if they were coming towards me, so I quickly sat up. Then I heard voices.
". You should at least knock so she isn't caught indecent or anything."
"I don't have to listen to you woman. She's my slave and I can wake her at any time."
Without another warning, the door was burst open, and the top hinge came off the wall. Now I was glad I didn't try blasting the door open, because it made a sound like a shotgun.
"You, come with me." He didn't say anything else. Blunt and to the point. As I passed Bulma, she whispered encouragement into my ear. I don't know if it did any encouraging, it mostly made me even more nervous. He led me to a circular room with a huge machine at one end. The door closed again automatically behind us, and again locked.
"Now, to see what you're made of." With that, he hurled himself at me, and missed by a fraction of an inch. I decided he wanted me to fight him, and at least it was fair now. No chains to bind me. So I fought. I gave it everything I had, because my fate rested on if I could kill him. Maybe if I did, I could find Pott.
But that idea was banished the moment I got hit with one of his energy blasts. I could just barely hold it, and as I did, the heat scorched my hands and body. He didn't even let me finish blocking it when he came hurtling at me from the side throwing me into the wall. The blast grazed by him, but he didn't even seem to notice. I took to the air seeing if that could help me any.
Nope. He did just as well, even better in the air, since that air was my weak point. He continued to pummel me, and he had more stamina than any guy I'd ever seen. He never quit, and he was faster than lightning. It was all I could do to block his attacks, let alone throw some his way. The only thing that saved me was my cat-like ability to always land on my feet. It had been years since I'd gotten my feet knocked out from under me.
We continued fighting, well more him fighting and me blocking, for another hour or so. And then the worst thing that could happen to me happened. He hit me with a series of punches and kicks, and aimed an energy blast at my feet, and then one at my head. Dodging both meant I was back on the ground but just as he'd released the second blast, he fazed out to the exact spot I dodged to. I hit the wall with a loud crunch, creating a small series of cracks in the wall. Just as I was about to land, he kicked at just about knee length and I had no energy left. I hit the ground and went sprawling, and slid across the cement ground.
I could do nothing else. It was as if all the energy I'd ever had was sucked straight out of me. And I'd had my feet kicked out from under me, for the first time since my mom died. It was then I knew, he'd could and would kill me sooner or later. He would stop at nothing.
Author's Note: I hope this chapter helped answer a couple of questions on who the characters were. Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. I have no excuse that you want to hear about it, but I'm almost done with the fifth chapter so hopefully I'll update that really soon. Don't forget to review!! That always makes us authors happy and motivated.
