Consciousness of the Heart
Chapter Five
The Forgotten Girl *************************************************************
"What is happening to me?" Pepper cried out in the center of the abandoned building.
Her lungs filled with dust like an over crowded vacuum bag. The cobwebs stuck to her hair and her mouth was dry with a new thirst.
She was being taken over, and she was loosing control. A part of her wanted to give up, but she knew she had no choice but to fight it.
"Leave me alone!" She cried out.
'Do you think I am just going to leave?' A deep male growl echoed around her mind.
"Leave!" Pepper cried out louder.
'I am here to help.' The voice said, no longer a growl.
There was nothing trusting about it, however it was had come into her life and transformed her into this, this, thing!
"I don't need your help!" She screamed.
"I need you to go away." She sighed, calming down.
'If I leave, you will be all alone.' The voice warned.
Pepper froze, "I am always alone." She whispered.
'Together we would be great, you would have powers you never witnesses, unimaginable strength, more knowledge than most human minds cannot comprehend.' The voice boasted.
"Who, what are you?" Pepper asked.
'I am a Sayain, Radditz.' The voice said proudly.
"What is a, sayain?" Pepper asked pronouncing the word 'sayain' slowly.
'Do you know that pathetic hybrid named Gohan?' Radditz asked, a hint of some ancient loathing hidden in his words.
"Y..yes." Pepper stuttered.
'I would be his uncle.' Radditz snapped bitterly.
"What does uncle have to do with a sayain?" Pepper asked confused.
'Do not mock me girl!' Radditz yelled heatedly.
"Don't yell! You're giving me a headache." Pepper said rubbing her throbbing temples.
'Then quit interrupting me!' Radditz yelled, quieter than he had before.
"Sorry." Pepper said.
Pepper could feel the frustration radiating through her mind, so instead of apologizing, she closed her mouth and waited.
'Sayains come from the planet Vegeta, we are like you humans in a way that we communicate, and even look similar in our structures. Sayains often have sharp features, tails, and wild dark hair. We are much stronger than humans, our weakest would have the strength of three of your finest men.' Radditz explained.
"You're an alien?" Pepper asked.
She was met by silence, but could feel the heat of Radditz's anger.
"Stupid question." Pepper muttered.
"So why are you in my mind?" She asked.
'My planet was destroyed by a tyrant named Freeza, myself, Prince Vegeta, and Nappa escaped only to serve under the bastard that killed our people. I came down to earth to destroy it, but was defeated by my own brother.' Radditz grumbled, he hated bad memories.
"If you're dead, how did you get into my head?' Pepper asked.
'You ask too many questions.' Radditz grumbled, realizing he just spilt his life's story out to a mere teenage human.
"If I don't know you, what makes you think I'll be so eager to help you?" Pepper questioned.
Radditz sighed.
"Scout's honor I won't tell." Pepper sweared.
'I was sent to hell for the amount of people I killed and escaped into the dream realm, you were the only soul around who was unaware of the fact they were even there, so I decided to escape through you.' Radditz admitted.
"Dream realm?" Pepper asked.
'I told you everything I need to tell you, so you will help me now' Radditz ordered.
"I decide what I do, if I do not like any of this, you are gone." Pepper warned.
'First, take off that damned tracker, it will get us both in serious trouble.' Radditz advised.
"Tracker?" Pepper asked shocked.
'Behind your left ear.' Radditz said gruffly.
Pepper reached her fingers behind her ear and rubbed, a small black circle, resembling a bug fell to the ground.
'Leave it here and find a new hiding place.' Radditz said again.
Pepper sighed and picked up her backpack. *************************************************************
"Where do we start?" Gohan asked.
"We start with the furthest one away and work our way back." Goku said.
"Ok." Gohan agreed, not wanting to question his father's decision.
Goku continued on flying until they reached an old abandoned Where-house. Flying down two levels they made it down into the basement, where the signal was at its strongest.
"The signal is coming from in here, but there is no one around." Gohan said in confusion.
"Maybe the thing is broken." Goku suggested.
"According to the tracker, the person should be right here." Gohan said standing in the middle of the room.
"Look." Goku said, pointing to the blood on the ground, inches away from where Gohan stood.
"The tracker." Goku said, picking up a small black object off the ground.
"Whoever it was, knew the tracker was there and took it off." Gohan said looking at then blood again.
"What's this?" Goku asked picking up a sheet of paper.
On it was written...
Dearest Mother
You feed me each day With your words of scorn You clothe e each day With a veil of resent
You kill me each night With the presence of absence You hurt me each night With your claws of venom
You, my dearest mother You made me who I am Without you I would be different Without you I would be better
~~Peppermint
"Who is Peppermint?" Goku asked.
"I don't know anyone with the name Peppermint..." Gohan said trailing off.
"The missing girl!" He shouted suddenly.
"What? Missing? Girl?" Goku asked confused by his sudden outburst.
"There was a girl, her name was Pepper and she just vanished one day." Gohan said excitedly.
"I believe we found our person." Goku said. *************************************************************
*smiles cheesily* This story takes place before the Buu Saga, but Goku is alive. This is not a Gohan/Pepper or a Radditz/Pepper love story. Did you see a romance genre? Huh? No...so no worries, I'm a fan of Videl/Gohan pairings and I don't think that a teenage girl should fall in love with a sayain who is old enough to be her father...plus he's kinda DEAD!!!!!!
*sniffs* I need reviews!!!!
