AN: Okay, I'm thinking about changing this story to make it look better,
like have italics and stuff, but not change the story at all. So if one of
these days you see those changes, don't be afraid I've changed something!
Lol, but I'm still thinking about it and not sure if I will or not.
Anyway, this chapter is longer than any of the other ones I think, so
enjoy!

PS Please check out my other stories, most of them are about Trunks, and there's one about Vegeta and Bulma!

Girl of My Dreams
Chapter 8
"Trunks!" Pan whispered as she shook Trunks awake. "Wake up!! NOW!!"
Trunks rolled over and saw Pan on his bed. For a minute he thought that his dream about her in his bed had actually come true. "Wha?? Pan what are you doing on my bed?" he asked just to make sure he wasn't still dreaming.
"Trunks you have to hide me," she said desperately. "My da- my stepdad is here."
"What? You're joking."
"Why the hell would I joke about something like that?! Hide me! I've already hid my clothes. You just have to hide me."
"Pan, I'm sure Gohan won't let him take you away," he said reassuringly.
She shook her head. "That's not the point. He'll murder everyone in this house to get me back."
"Please," she said with her eyes and with her mind.
Trunks stared at her a moment longer then said, okay, follow me."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Your daughter?" Gohan asked. He looked at Videl hesitantly.
"You're not getting our daughter," she said. She stood up and walked to the door and opened it. "I'd appreciate it very much if you left mister. You're not welcome in this house with this pack of lies."
"I'm not lying, ma'am," Charles said with his beady little eyes shining.
"Yes you are. I gave birth to MY daughter myself. Can you say that about yourself? Did you give birth to my daughter?"
"Videl," Gohan said gently. "Sir, We don't know what you are talking about. But whatever you are thinking, you are not going to get our daughter."
Charles stood still and calm. "I'm quite sure that I am," he said. "You have kidnapped her."
Gohan sneered. "I don't know what you are talking about. No one kidnapped our daughter. She has been living here all of our life."
"Is that so?" Charles asked in his same jolly tone, but with cunning in his eyes.
"Yes, that is so," Videl said. "I do not appreciate strange people knocking on my door at night, telling me that they are going to take my daughter away from me without a reason."
"She is my daughter."
"No she's not!!" Videl yelled.
"Ma'am, if I could just see your daughter for a minute…Just to make sure that you are not lying to me."
"No. Get out of my house. If you aren't out of here by the time I count to five, I'm calling the police."
Charles smirked and left the living room and started walking down the hallway.
"Where do you think you are going," Gohan said menacingly, stepping in from of him.
"Sir, I'm really doing you a favor. The police could be doing this instead. I have proof that my daughter was seen here at this house. I've checked with the neighbors and they said that they have seen her here. Now, if you would like me to call the police and have them get a warrant to search the house for my child, I'd be happy to call them."
"Fine."
"Fine?!" Videl yelled from the living room.
"Yes, fine," Gohan insisted through clenched teeth. He stepped out of the way and led Charles down the hall to where Pan slept. Gohan opened the door and turned on the light. The bed was made and the room was fairly neat except for a few papers on the floor and some new clothes they had bought her were on the desk.
"This is our daughter's room," he said tersely.
"Yes, I see that. But where is your daughter?"
Gohan swept the room with his eyes. "She's staying the night at one of her friend's house."
"Hmph. I'm sure you won't mind if I have a look in the other bedrooms and make a search of the house. Just to get this matter settled of course."
For the next half hour, they let Charles snoop around their house, much to Videl's annoyance. She kept throwing Gohan dirty looks for allowing this to go on. Eventually, Charles gave up and left, promising that he would return later when their daughter came back home.
"So where is Pan?" Videl asked. "She's supposed to stay in the house. Do you think she left?"
Gohan shook his head. "Follow me," he said. He went to the back of the house and went down to the basement. They had just come from down there, but Gohan led Videl to a corner. He pushed a brick and a whole part of the wall opened up.
"What?! Why didn't I know about this Gohan?" Videl asked.
"It's for emergencies," he said. Then into the darkness inside the wall he said, "It's okay, you guys can come out now. He's gone."
Trunks was the first to step out, followed by Pan.
"How did you know about this place when I didn't," Videl accused Trunks as she poked his chest.
"Uh…Um…"
"I told him about it, Videl," Gohan answered. "I had a feeling that this guy would show up eventually. Besides, Bulma was the one who made this thing for us."
Videl squinted her eyes at him and said shortly, "I'm going to bed."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Phew. Well, I can't deny that I thought that guy would show up sooner or later. Poor Pan, while we were hiding, she was shaking so bad. I truly feel sorry for her. No one should ever be so afraid. I took her to this place in the basement Gohan told me about I think like a day or so ago. There is a hidden room behind a wall where people can hide if something happens, which eventually does. Not many people are too paranoid to have a hidden room, but Gohan did. Thank Kami for that or else Pan would have been in trouble today.
Pan was still shaking after her stepdad had left, so Gohan made her some tea to calm her nerves. He told both of us what the man had said. Not very surprising actually. I personally think he was bluffing about the police, but Gohan doesn't want to take any chances. Later on today Gohan said he's going to call my mom and ask her what he should do. I don't know what she can tell him, even though she's the smartest woman on the Earth, I doubt she knows a great deal about legal matters. But, who knows. Maybe she'll surprise me.
After she got done with her tea, Pan still couldn't get to sleep. So I stayed up with her for a while and we watched TV. She fell asleep about two hours after that and so I carried her back to her room. Now, yet again, I'm writing in here so that I'll put myself to sleep. My life was never this exciting, it seems like I've been writing in here every few minutes. I used to just write to calm myself once in a great while or if there was something important to write about, but not now I guess. Well, sleep is coming to me anyway, so I'm just going to stop for now.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
So much for that. Pan woke back up and communicated to me through dreams again. This time I was in front of Gohan's house and she was telling me about her life. It was terrible! He used to beat her daily and that bruise I saw on her back was just the beginning. He even cut her arm on purpose one time for not using the right laundry detergent! How stupid is that?! I can't believe she put up with it for so long. I know I wouldn't have.
In the dream she lifted up her hair and showed me a cigarette burn he had put on her neck. She didn't tell me why he did it though. Kami, he did so much to hurt her! How could anyone allow such a terrible person to adopt a sweet girl like Pan? She would have been much better off with Gohan and Videl.
I still haven't told them about her bruises and burns and scars. She forbid it to me specifically in my dream. I'm going to go against her though. I need to tell them, they have a right to know. I'll definitely tell them if her fake father decides to get the police involved. We have to take pictures of her as proof of what he does to her. I don't care if she feels like we're violating her privacy. This will put that son of bitch in jail for a very long time, just like he deserves. Nothing could be better than that.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once he woke up again, Trunks immediately went downstairs to tell Gohan about Pan's injuries. He wanted to keep the matter quiet, and not have Pan know, but unfortunately, Pan was already downstairs eating breakfast.
"Gohan, can I talk to you alone?" he asked quietly.
Pan snapped her head in his direction, sensing he was going to tell her secrets. "You're not going to tell are you?" she thought to Trunks.
"I'm sorry," he thought back, "I have to."
Gohan wiped his mouth and got up from the table, motioning for Trunks to follow him.
"Dad?" Pan said.
Gohan turned around and smiled. "Yeah honey?"
"Whatever Trunks says is a lie. Don't believe him."
Gohan furrowed his brow at Trunks and left the room to go outside. Once outside he asked, "What's going on Trunks? Why did Pan look so afraid of what you're going to tell me?"
