Chapter 10

~Crecy's POV~

"well, well, well. It seems we have interrupted something." Dameon smirked. I growled while standing up, watching them carefully.

"Leave. Now." I narrowed my eye's as they laughed.

"Now why would we do that? The fun is just beginning." Raven smirked.

"Chichi, 18, Bulma. Get everyone else away. We can't let you get hurt. " They nodded as they and Pan and Bra started to leave. Chirusa and Maia walked up and stood on either side of me. Bulma through open a capsule which held a van, but before anyone could do anything about it, Dameon tossed a ki ball and destroyed it.

"They aren't leaving. Its more fun with innocents around to watch." He said.

"That's what they are! Innocents! Leave them be!" Maia growled.

"I don't think so. They have to die anyway, now is as good a time as any." Raven watched our reactions. Maia and Chirusa were pissed, while though I shared their feelings, kept a blank mask on. Its times like these that I regretted pulling them into this mess.

"We won't let you near them. Now fight us." Chirusa said stonily. Raven and Dameon laughed and created large, Powerful, ki blasts.

"Now we know that you could survive this, but can they?" Raven taunted.

They launched one at us and one at them. I thought quickly. I knew Chir and Maia would survive. I had one choice. I through myself in front of the blast, not even having time to block. I felt the now familiar pain of being burned alive. The searing, white hot pain sent me screaming. Suddenly I felt someone near me, someone with power enough to help, but I couldn't sense them. '18. She's helping'. I thought before finding the pain lessening. The blast finally stopped, I fell to the ground, managing to keep conscious. I felt the ones who sent the blast's leave while everyone was still recovering. They always did this. Come unexpectedly, then half-kill everyone, and leave. Watching and waiting for he next time to strike. I laid there, I felt so numb. I felt the familiar ki's of my friends and family. Everyone was safe. For now at least. The darkness began to overtake my sense's. Lulling me in it's comforting numbness. I started to embrace it, falling into it. All thoughts leaving my mind. My Ki reduced to near nothing. I was dieing. I realized it, but I almost didn't care. It was my fault that they continued to come after people I care about. My fault. I slipped in deeper, all reasoning leaving. But suddenly I felt someone tug at me.

~You've got to wake up! I won't let you die~ It said urgently. I started to pull me back. Back to the pain, the fear and helplessness. If they didn't kill me physically, they are killing my mentally. Not being able to rest knowing you're the cause. It was unbearable. ~Open your eyes! I know you hear me.~

It was too late. I was back in my personal world of hell, I was wrenched from the blissful blackness and thrown back in a world of deep pain and fear. Helplessness, hate, anger. All these emotions were normal. No matter how I acted, It always tore at me. I may be smiling, laughing and playing, but inside I was screaming. Not even Regu knew. It was buried to deeply and I gave no hint of it's existence. He could find it, if he knew. But I wouldn't let him. I refused to. Pushing my fierce emotions deep, back to where they lie always. Finally complying with the voice, I opened them to find the girls all around me, the guys having yet to arrive.

"You- you saved us! I ca-can't believe you" Bulma cried. Did I really affect them that much? In the short time I had known them? How? Why? Why did I befriend so easily when all I try to do is push them away?

I saw Maia in the back comforting Pan and Bra. They shouldn't have to see this. They were still pretty young. We included them so they wouldn't feel left out or anything, (A/N: I just remembered about Marron. Sorry, lets just say she's sleeping at a friends house and was planning to for a while so she couldn't come)

I realized how much they still needed me. They needed me to fight. And without me, they would just kill them all and move on to a different planet. I can't give up now. I tried to take I deep breath, but winced as my broken ribs tore into my lungs. Blood poured in as my struggled for breath quadrupled. I felt the Guys all begin to touch down as they arrived, They found everyone still walking and breathing, until they noticed my absence among them. That's when they everyone's tear streaked face and the crowd around my broken and beaten body. I don't know how I managed to survive this long. I had recently heard that the senzu beans won't be ready to harvest for two weeks. Why am I always the one to get hurt? First the spar and now this? Every time they come, I always manage to get myself injured. In a way, I'm glad. If I'm the injured one, then that most likely means that everyone else is okay. I felt Regu at my side in an instant. Even through the pain, I could see his concern. He picked me up carefully and turned to the others.

"We need to get her treatment. Fast." He said gruffly.

"We should bring her to Dende's place. He can heal her." Goku suddenly spoke up. Regu turned to him, and waited for him to lead the way. If he knew where he was going, he would have been long gone by now.

~Try to stay awake. Don't give into the darkness~ Regu told me.

~I won't. It will mean that they won. I won't~ I assured him.

I felt the increasing difficulty to breath, and the extent of my injuries catch up with me. The pain of it all was incredible. I wouldn't give up. Not now, not ever. I was always told I was stubborn. The fact that I was still alive proved it. When I felt Regu descend into this platform like area, I was positive that I would pull through. That was, until I felt the blackness that I was trying so hard to overcome, start to engulf my sense's. It pulled me under as I felt myself lowered to the ground. I tried to pay attention to the voices, sense I couldn't decipher which voice was whose.

"Help her!"

"What happened!?"

"Ask questions later, now heal her"

"I'll see what I can do… *Gasp* She's almost gone!"

I felt Dende pull me back, I threw myself back into my body as I felt him heal me. Soon, I was completely healed. I opened my eyes. Taking a second to focus, I found their looks of relief.

"There, you're healed, now I watched the end of what happened, but I couldn't tell who they were." Dende said.

I stood up and turned away from everyone. I hated this feeling that came after every battle with them. The feeling of defeat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crecy: Yep. That's all of this chapter! It was hectic for me to write it too.

Chirusa: How so?

Crecy: A huge bug attack me, then me, and two others tried to kill it for about 10 minutes. It got away. Then once I got relaxed and typing again, It attack me. I kept waking my cousin every time I did that. We finally killed it, and my other cousin told me to do it again in 10 minutes for the heck of it. I got comfortable and everything. But nooooooo, a different moth attack me this time. I finally got fed up with it, saved my work and left. So it's the *Blink* afternoon of the day I will post this. I would have finished it this morning, but I didn't wake up till just about 30 minutes ago. I'm also eating breakfast right now. Go cheerio's!

Maia: Long explanation.

Baby Crecy: *Still switching hour by hour*

Asper: *Watching baby Crecy* She's like the energizing bunny. She never stops.

Crecy: *Laughs* That's me alright!

Cado: *Stay's quiet for fear of Chichi's Almighty Frying Pan Of Doom.*

Chichi: She will turn out just fine. I just hopes she remembers dear ol' me. *Wipes tear*

Crecy: *Blink* Here. *Hands over some money*

Chichi: *Blink* thank you very much
