Chapter 17- Cry for a nightmare
Harm almost began to cry. Tears were welling up in her eyes. 'What am I so afraid of? Tell me!' She screamed at her fears, longing for an answer.
"Who...what?" She tried to speak but she couldn't get it out.
"This is Sgt. Bigges. I'm the supervisor in Wake Hills, Nevada. I have some terrible news about....." Harm's mind grow silent.
She could hear the officer speaking, but she couldn't comprehend. She wanted to think, to tell the woman to shut up, but she was frozen in her own fear. The fear that consumed her every inside thought, making her cry for help. Cry. She couldn't even do that.
"I'm sorry. Will you have the funeral there? We can have the body trans...."
"No!" Harm screamed without even knowing it. "No. This isn't happening! Why are you doing this to me?! Your lying!"
"Ms. I'm truly sorry. This is no joke. I can reassure you of that." The officer felt bad.
She hated telling family members such things; especially over the phone.
Everyone came running into the dinning room where Harm was on her hands and knees.
"Harm? What's wrong?" BeGee asked placing a hand on her best friends back.
"Yes. It will be here." Harm whispered into the phone and hung it up.
She raised her face to everyone, having them see the tears pour down her cheeks. She tried to tell them but the words just wouldn't come out.
Harm stood slowly. Her whole body was shaking. She walked over to Vegeta. To face him. 'He knows. I know he does. I don't have to say anything, and yet he knows.' she thought.
"It will get better. In due time." He told her.
"She's gone. She can't be! She's my mother! I need her!" Harm yelled as if it was Vegeta's fault that her mother was murdered.
He put his arms around her. He knew it made him look weak, but he also knew how much it hurt. To lose someone that you were so connected with. A loved one. He knew what would lie ahead for her. And that was it, no one else understood. They wouldn't. Vegeta knew that too. If only he had someone to lean on when he lost his family.
Harm's tears stained his black shirt, as she sobbed.
"Make it better." she whispered to no one in general.
"Come on, everyone back into the living room. Harm will tell us when she's ready." Chi-Chi said shooing the confused souls away.
She didn't understand the pain Harm felt, for when her mother left she was just a child. But she knew Vegeta understood, and that's what mattered. That at least someone could comprehend what was happening.
"But..." Krillan began.
"But nothing. Harm needs someone who knows her pain." Chi-Chi explained.
"How..." Goku tried to say.
"Vegeta is that someone, now go." as everyone was back in the living room, they sat in silence
once again. Listening to Harm's painful sobs.

"What do we have this time?" Harm asked looking at the papers on her clip board.
"A mother of two, dead in the bedroom. Looks like murder. There's two kids in the other bedroom down the hall. Their dead as well. Foods cooking in the oven. And it doesn't look like there was any sign of force entry." A co-worker, from CSI, explained to Harm.
"And cause of death?"
"We haven't let the paramedics in there yet. We wanted you to check it out before they moved the bodies."
"Thank you. That will be all Seto." Harm said looking in the oven and seeing her favorite meal.
She walked down the hallway to the woman's room and walked in. The bedroom was dark, and on the bed laid the deceased woman. Harm looked around and saw there was no blood or any sign of struggle. The woman just laid there as if asleep. Harm walked out of the room and over to Seto.
"Moms wearing the shirt we got her for Christmas." she said feeling sad.
Just then the woman walked out of the bedroom and toward the kitchen.
"Mom?" Harm said beginning to cry.
"Oh, Harm. I'm making your favorite meal. I hope you haven't already eaten dinner." Harm's mother said getting the food out of the oven.
Seconds later the woman dropped to the floor again. "Mom!" Harm yelled running to her mothers aid, but it was to late, she was dead.
Harm picked her mother up and her and Seto ran outside where her mom's b/f was fixing his car.
They got in the car and drove off to the hospital. As they were driving, Harm's mother opened her eyes again and smiled.
"Mom, please don't die again." Harm said behind tears.
As they reached the hospital she was dead again. Harm rushed her in and set her mother on the floor. Calling for help, everyone just looked at her. Harm cried for a doctor, but no one would help.
"Help her!" Harm screamed and sat up in her bed.
A nightmare, that's all it was. But her nightmare was real! Her mother was gone!
Harm looked around the room and saw darkness. The only light was from the moon that shined
in through the window. No one was around, so she got up and went into her bathroom. She
looked in the mirror and began to cry once again. Harm knew how terrible she looked but she
also didn't care.
(Vegeta's P.O.V)
After Harminly finally cried herself to sleep in my arms, I took her to her room. Even as she slept, she cried. This is exactly what I went through. The shock, the pain, the nightmares, then the silence.
Yes, the silence would come. I didn't speck for months. And Seto. What to tell him? Well Harm's going to have to toughen up. Its the only thing I can think of.
(No ones P.O.V)
BeGee paced the room as the others watched.
"We leave in a few minutes. What are they doing up there? That's it. She's coming with us whether she likes it or not." BeGee stated as she stalked upstairs.
"You can't make her! You have to let her choose!" Meighan called after her.
BeGee headed down the upstairs hallway to Harm's room. She stopped briefly at Seto's room to get one last look.
"Out of my way Veggie boy." She ordered as she walked up to Harm's door.
"Make me." Vegeta said standing up.
Just as the two started arguing, Harm opened her bedroom door.
"Harm?" the two said simultaneously.
"Its time to go." She said, practically whispered.
"Your coming with us? That's great! Do you have every..." BeGee began, before Vegeta interrupted.
"Are you sure about this?" he asked.
Harm just nodded her head and walked past the two, to the living room. As soon as the three of them entered the room everyone stood up.
"Harm? Are you okay?" Chi-Chi asked in concern.
Once again Harm just looked to the floor and nodded. BeGee made the circle with sand as Meighan said her goodbyes to Harm and everyone else.(after getting all of their autographs, of coarse.)
Everyone got into the circle and BeGee said the magic words and seconds later they were gone. Meighan gathered her things, wiping tears away every now and then.
"See you in heaven, Harm." She whispered as she closed the door, and began to walk home.
(In the DBZ world)
Seto sat on a rock as he waited for the others to arrive. Zero was messing with some sort of new scooter he called Glitch.
'Probably something from the future.' Seto thought as he watched the kid tell the device to do this and that things.
Kyro and Vicky had showed up to greet everyone as well. Seconds later there was a light flash and the everyone had arrived.
"Hey, how are you all?" Vicky asked as she stood up.
"Harm what's wrong?" Seto asked looking at his older sister.
Harm just stood there, looking at the ground, afraid to speck. Afraid to tell the truth, that their mother was gone. Never coming back. Never to be seen again.
"Seto....she hasn't said a thing for hours. Your going to have to wait until she can deal with what happen before she can tell you. I'm sorry." BeGee said placing a hand on his shoulder, as tears fulled her eyes.
'I never thought about my friends or family when I made my wish. How I miss them. Well, at least their alive, I'm hoping they still are.' BeGee thought as she walked over to Kyro and Vicky and said her hello's.
"Harm? What happen?" Seto asked once again.
"She doesn't feel like talking right now, and I don't see it wise as to make her. When she's ready to tell you, she will." Vegeta said.
After everyone said there hello's they all walked into Bulma's house to get something to eat.
Little did they know that someone was planning their fate.

A/N- Okay..I just want to say that the nightmare Harm had in this story was a real nightmare I
had about my mom. Only I was in Harm's place and my sister was in Seto's place. That was one
of the things that made me cry well reading this chapter over. Thankfully for me, it was just a
nightmare. So don't worry, my mom is doing just fine.
