Faltered Destiny
Chapter 15
The Healing Begins: Regreted Descisions
Pulling back, Lareesa looked into Trunks' eyes. He had actually listened to her. Everything she had said was secured in his memory, never to be forgotten.
'No pressure there.' she thought
Feeling an itch on the back of her head she gently began to rub it.
"Ouch! What the hell?!" Lareesa screamed.
"Oh I forgot to tell you, you have a *slight* head injury" Trunks mentioned.
"How slight?" she asked while running her fingers over the bandage. It was then she felt moisture. Pulling her hand to the front of her face she mumbled, "Yeah, really slight huh?" She commented while began to rub her now crimson fingers against eachother.
"Don't worry about it, Mom went to get Goku and he's gonna bring over some Senzu Beans." he assured.,
"Oh yay! The wonderous bean!" she exclaimed sarcastically.
"Hey, you know just for that I don't think you should get one." Trunks commented while quirking an eyebrow.
"Like I need a piece of crap like that to," Lareesa began to stand up and walk. Moments later she noticed Trunks' tail was wrapped around her waist. She smiled slightly and watched as he withdrew it sheepishly. "help me." she finished.
No sooner had Lareesa completed this statement that she felt her head begin to swim. The room began to turn at immense speeds as she made an effort to grab the closest object she could steady herself with.
Then, she felt it, her body was falling. Dropping, rather quickly in fact.
'De-ja vu.' she thought.
The ground. It was apporaching quickly. The white and clean linolium floor would soon be soiled. Shutting her eyes, Lareesa prayed. She couldn't muster the strength to put her arms out in front of her. Whatever strength she had had been lost since she stepped out of the hospital-like bed. Then, something most unexpected, she stopped. Moments before she was about to hit the ground, she stopped her descent. She was not greeted by the cold and hard ground, but by warm and welcoming arms.
Opening one eye, and then the other, Lareesa found herself staring at the ground, which was only and inch away form her face. A chuckle resounded behind her. Turning her head she watched as lavender hair swayed gently back and forth. Slowly she reached her hand up and brushed away some of the locks of hair. She smiled faintly, the situation was a little uncomfortable to say the least. It was....wasn't it?
Trunks' arm was wrapped securely around her waist, preventing her from falling any further. His eyes shined with anticipation as they looked into her dazzling emerald gems. Pulling Lareesa into him, he took his thumb and ran it across her chin, making her look toward him.
Lareesa was amazed. She kinda knew what was coming next. She stared into Trunks' eyes as she felt his finger graze her jaw-line. Her eyes opened and closed as she drew her face closer to his as well.
Ever so gently their lips met. They brushed against each other in such a sweet and cunning manner. It seemed as though time itself had stopped and the only thing that existed was them and the kiss. That sumptuous kiss for all eternity.
Long eye lashes batted as they looked into a pair of baby-blues. Excitement and anticipation had taken its toll for now Lareesa began to breath heavily. Her intake was rapid, as if she was gasping for air.
Suddenly, a sense of worry came to mind. She wondered what the hell she was doing. When had she decided to even kiss Trunks? Soon, the discomfort overwhelmed her and she pulled away from the slighlty older male. Her eyes settled on the the floor in shame.
It was then Lareesa felt two blue eyes staring at her. Looking up, she saw Trunks smiled and leaned further towards her. Slowly, he moved his lips unto hers and kissed her passionately.
She was surprised to say the least. Lareesa felt weird kissing Trunks in fear she was doing something wrong. This time, however, he had initiated the kiss. It seemed to confirm his feelings for her, and it also made her feel more secure.
Strong masculine arms tightened around her waist. It gave her the feeling of being safe from everything frightening in the world. This was a feeling she could cherish forever. Her arms slowly moved around his neck as she kissed him with an equal intensity of her own. It was perfect bliss for both teenagers to say the least. Both had such a haunting past, and for that to be forgotten for a moment, or even a second, was the best feeling in the world.
It was then the sound of a door opening interrupted the two teens. Quickly pulling away, they saw both Bulma and Goku looking at them strangely. Their eyes seemed huge as they just stared at the *couple*.
With Senzu Beans in hand, Goku walked toward Lareesa and Trunks. He smiled widely, grinning that famous Son grin.
"Hi, I haven't seen you since the first time you arrived here." Goku said holding out his hand toward Lareesa.
"Hey," she said blushing, she had known that Bulma and Goku had saw something, but she didn't know just how much... Looking down she saw Goku's hand was still out-stretched, so shook it daintilly.
"Oh by the way, I brought over some Senzu Beans for that head injury of yours." he commented while opening the tiny brown draw-string sack. He shook it until one solitary bean fell out into the palm of his hand. Taking it he handed it to Lareesa.
Once the bean was in her posession she looked at it curiously. She didn't know if she should eat it. Lareesa knew all about how Senzu Beans healed people, but what if something went wrong? What if she croaked or something?
Goku looked at her confused. Did she know what to do with it? He then began to speak.
"You're suppose to eat it." he mentioned.
Lareesa had to restrain herself from cursing Goku right then and there. What was she going to do, plant it in a flower-pot and watch it grow. Oh yes that would be very interesting. Not wanting to make a bigger ass out of herself she placed the bean into her mouth, chewed, and swallowed it. The after-taste almost made her gag. Almost.
It was then she felt a searing amount of power pulsate through her. The pain in her head lessened within seconds, until it was finally gone. She felt the laceration on her head heal instantly, and all her strength returned to her. Instantly, she smiled, happy that she was able to be up and around again.
Bulma eyed her strangely. Amusement flickered in her eyes, showing a devious question was about to be asked. A VERY personal one.
"So," she began, "What were you guys up to?" Bulma asked, directing the question at both Lareesa and Trunks.
'Quick think!' Lareesa's mind screamed, 'YOU got yourself into this mess! Now get YOURSELF out!' she began to chew on her bottom lip. 'THE TRUTH IDIOT...partial.' A wicked grin played on her features as her she began to steadily pace the room.
"Well," Lareesa began, her eyes shifting around the room as she spoke. They suddenly caught a very horrified expression presented by Trunks as if saying, *what-the-hell-are-you-up-to?* she ignored this however and continued. "I woke up from a coma, tried to get out of bed, almost fell from the dizziness and lack of blood, and then Trunks caught me. That's were you guys walked in." she didn't give Bulma a chance to ask anymore questions before she asked one herself. "By the way, how long was I out for?"
Bulma paused momentarily. Lareesa was obviously avoiding the subject of her earlier question, or at least some of it. She would confront her later, but now she had to answer some of the youth's questions.
"You've been out almost a week dear."
Lareesa flinched as if some pure and evil darkness had dipped its fingers into her, and touched her heart and soul. She regained her stature however, and seconds later she faced Goku and looked into his soft coal eyes.
"Arigatou Son Goku." she said before turning on her heal and exciting the lab.
Her calm and brisk walk soon turned to an all out run as she made her way up the stairs and into *her* room. Upon arriving, she immediately collapsed upon her bed. Burrying her head into the soft pillow, she let her tears flow freely. Tears of longing, of lost hope, of *love*...
Lifting her face, Lareesa searched for one of the only objects that could stop her tears, or make them flow *further.* She found it. The grey back-pack, the link to her past. Her tear-stricken face peered into it's black depths as she reached her hand inside and pulled out a small book around the height of being 5 by 7 inches big. Her fingers traced over the delicate plum cover and the golden trimed letters that spelled out, "Deepest Thoughts."
She then opened the book, reading the ever so neat handwriting that was printed upon the inside cover. Her eyes began to tear as she read the inscription:
*To My Dearest Daughter,
I know how you love to write down your feelings. For this reason I give you a book that was made just for you. Remember, I love you always. Maybe this will help you in your struggle to adult-hood.
Love,
Your friend
Your Mother
R.R.G.*
R.R.G., her mother had never really told her what all of her initials stood for, only the first one which was her name: Risai.
Lareesa immediately wiped away the stray tears that had fallen moments ago. Her hand moved over to the modern quil that was tucked into the binding. She pulled it out quickly and wrote down some words before shutting the book and reaching down into her bag, pulling out a lock. The key to the treasure was put around her neck, so only she could read the words that had been written.
Laying her head back upon the wet pillow she closed her eyes. Watching as the demons played in the depths of her mind, and tried to break her spirit. No matter what, she would not let them. Soon after, she fell into slumber, a gift from God of revival.
**hOuRs LaTeR**
Lareesa sat up in bed. Her face was covered in prespiration and her legs were twisted within the soft white quilt which covered the bed. Wiping her brow, she got up and walked about the room. Sensing someone's eyes resting on her, she turned around. No one. Lareesa knew that she wasn't going crazy and within seconds, the same feeling had overtaken her once again.
"Come out." Lareesa said with teeth clenched. Her eyes faced an open window, looking out into the night. 'Night, I didn't know I had slept that long.' The only indication of her hostility was the way her voice filled the room. It dripped with venom and acid, seemingly burning through the walls and floor.
There was no answer. Not a sound was made in the black depths of the usually brightened room. It was so silent, you could hear the mild breeze outside. And that's just what Lareesa needed, fresh air.
She walked over to her balcony and grasped the two bronze knobs. Turning them gently, the lock clicked and the doors opened.
Hazelnut hair whipped wildly around her body. Her eyes strayed to the sky which was a very dark and peculiar color.
'A Storm.' she thought, 'How it fits my mood perfectly.'
Lareesa extended her hand out over the blacony to feel the slow and scattered drops of rain beginning to fall. Her eyes drooped to her hands as they lay before her, palms facing up.
'These hands held him, these fingers brushed his hair, and these..." she continued brushing her finger-tips against her lips, 'graced his lips and returned to me a feeling of pure bliss.' She tightened her fingers and made her hands into fists. Her eyes filled with tears as she brought herself to consider her inner arguement, 'It is a shame that I was careless in my answer, but once I had told him no, I can't go back on it. It is weak, and it is not me.' A tear sneaked out of her eye and fell unto her torn outfit. 'I did say maybe, but until I figure out what is going on with me can I be sure? No. My heart and mind conflict. If he asks me once more and shows his feelings, then maybe...yes. Until then, all I can do is be friendly and nothing more.' (O_O IDK WUT THE HELL COMPELLED ME TO WRITE THAT BUT IT SEEMED TO FIT! GOMEN!)
The rain pounded down with a vigorous intensity now, and Lareesa was getting soaked from head to toe. She didn't care though, nothing mattered, except the pain. Once the idea of Trunks had left her mind a new and darker one replaced it. Her Mother.
More tears began to streak down her face. Their endless barrage soon faded into the rain. Natural drops and salted ones mixing, no one would know the difference. Lareesa opened her mouth through the bad times she would sing, a stress valve so to speak, and many of the songs she sang expressed her true feelings, the ones usually kept under the mask she wore.
"I follow the night...can't stand...the light." she began to sing softly.
"When will I begin, to live again."
"One day I'll fly away. Leave all this to yesterday."
"What more could your love do for me."
"When will love be through with me."
"Why live life from dream to dream? And dread the day when dreaming ends."
"One day I'll fly away!" she sang with confidence. "Leave all this to yesterday! Why live life from dream to dream! And dread the day when dreaming ends."
"One day I'll fly away." her voice grew softer. "Fly, fly, away."
She dragged the back of her hand to her eyes and wiped the tears away. Her efforts seemed in vain when only more of the drops of sadness fell onto her face. Spilling over her eyelids and stinging her slightly pink and tired eyes.
A light shuffle echoed within the room, but Lareesa hadn't heard due to the fact that she was standing outside, and in the middle of a storm no less. (Jeez...ella es muy estupida!) Suddenly the balcony doors creaked. She heard this and turned around. Her eyes met two blue ones. (de-ja vou? .... hehe)
"Hey, everyone was wondering where you had gone off to." Trunks said looking at her.
"I was tired." Lareesa advertised flatly. "So I came up here to sleep."
"Oh," he paused, "Well, you're clearly not doing that now."
"I needed air.." she mentioned, "...lots of it." she mumbled.
It was then a bolt of lightening flashed, illuminating the whole night sky. As a reflex Lareesa jumped and grabbed the nearest thing she could get her hands on...Trunks' arm. (ooo is this gettin good or what? ^.~) Almost instinctively Trunks put his arms around Lareesa, so that one hung over her shoulder and the other encircled her torso. She gulped loudly as she felt his tail wrap around her thigh.
'He's making a move, apparently showing his feelings...shit shit shit.' she thought. 'Now what?'
She was snapped back into reality when she thought about her own words. '...and shows his feelings...then maybe...yes'
Lareesa smiled at Trunks as she burried her head into his chest. He grasped her tighter as the thunder boomed. Her eyes fluttered and her brows furrowed. She had always been afraid of large storms for some reason. She was fourteen and cuddling with someone because of a silly fear, but then again, the cuddling wasn't such a bad thing. (^^)
Trunks took the one hand that was draped over her shoulder an put it around her waist also. He smiled a warm and loving grin as he stared into her eyes. He watched her intently as and indication of how she felt about the current situation they were both in.
They both stood out in the rain. Neither caring that they were both soaked. Just that they were with eachother. And that's what really mattered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok I'm done. Lareesa's been having second thoughts..but it looks like she's gettin over her fears eh? And Trunks now...wow... he's comin out of his shell too. A lot of my friends wanted this part out, I just hope I didn't rush it.

The Healing Begins: Regreted Descisions

Feeling an itch on the back of her head she gently began to rub it.

Then, she felt it, her body was falling. Dropping, rather quickly in fact.
'De-ja vu.' she thought.
The ground. It was apporaching quickly. The white and clean linolium floor would soon be soiled. Shutting her eyes, Lareesa prayed. She couldn't muster the strength to put her arms out in front of her. Whatever strength she had had been lost since she stepped out of the hospital-like bed. Then, something most unexpected, she stopped. Moments before she was about to hit the ground, she stopped her descent. She was not greeted by the cold and hard ground, but by warm and welcoming arms.

Long eye lashes batted as they looked into a pair of baby-blues. Excitement and anticipation had taken its toll for now Lareesa began to breath heavily. Her intake was rapid, as if she was gasping for air.
Suddenly, a sense of worry came to mind. She wondered what the hell she was doing. When had she decided to even kiss Trunks? Soon, the discomfort overwhelmed her and she pulled away from the slighlty older male. Her eyes settled on the the floor in shame.

More tears began to streak down her face. Their endless barrage soon faded into the rain. Natural drops and salted ones mixing, no one would know the difference.

She had always been afraid of large storms for some reason. She was fourteen and cuddling with someone because of a silly fear, but then again, the cuddling wasn't such a bad thing. (^^)
Trunks took the one hand that was draped over her shoulder an put it around her waist also. He smiled a warm and loving grin as he stared into her eyes. He watched her intently as and indication of how she felt about the current situation they were both in.
They both stood out in the rain. Neither caring that they were both soaked. Just that they were with eachother. And that's what really mattered.

Ok I'm done. Lareesa's been having second thoughts..but it looks like she's gettin over her fears eh? And Trunks now...wow... he's comin out of his shell too. A lot of my friends wanted this part out, I just hope I didn't rush it. Umm yea...there was some important info in this chapter...and just to let you know this story does have a plot along with a great story-line...or so i'm told. ok then i need ur guys opis (opinions). Ok, I'm a little unsure if A) Trunks and Lareesa should get together in the next chapter. or B) should they still shy away. I could make it go either way...but i'm so unsure right now and i would really like ur guyz feedbacks and pleez tell me wut u want to happen...it'll help me write.
