Hey again! Thanks so much far all your reviews! 21 reviews is a record for me lol. Anyway, as you've probably noticed by now, I lied in the first chapter; this IS an AU lol. It kind of went in a different direction than I originally planned. Okay, a little WARNING for this chapter: There is mention of rape. There is nothing really serious, at least I don't think so, but yes, this chapter is a little dark. If you think the story should be brought up a rating because of this chapter please let me know at LadyBranwen2012@aol.com and I will change it. & one more thing, I don't own DBZ or DBGT. Okay, here it is!

Girl of My Dreams

Chapter 10

Trunks and Gohan flew as fast as they could to where Trunks had rescued Pan. They searched the house, but they could not find any sign of Pan or Charles. Gohan and Trunks gave up on the house and searched the nearby area and cities. They searched until the end of the day, but found nothing.

Pan opened her eyes to darkness. She felt her arms and legs tied behind her and her mouth gagged. She also heard the rumble of an engine.

"Great. They've put me in the trunk of a car," Pan thought gloomily. "If I could just find a way out…"

The car stopped and engine was turned off. The car door slammed and few seconds later the trunk opened. Pan kept her eyes closed and pretended that she was unconscious. Her kidnapper picked her up and carried her to a small hut, then let her drop to the floor.

"It's about time you paid for all the bad things you have done, Panny," she heard Charles' voice say. "This won't hurt a bit." He hit her with a pipe a few times then began to remove her clothes.

Pan knew what was coming, it had happened before, but this time she had someone to help her. She remembered her telepathic ability and began trying to contact Trunks.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I just can't believe that this has happened. Pan. Now I know I love her. I'm falling apart without her. Why isn't Pan contacting me? I can sense through our bond that she is very afraid and in pain, which means that she has to be conscious, but why isn't she telling me where she is? I can't even sense her ki anywhere close by. I'm so afraid for her. What will happen if my soul mate dies?

Gohan and I searched all over, but we couldn't find Pan. Videl isn't taking this very well, I can't say I blame her. She has been in tears constantly since we came back without Pan. Gohan on the other hand, is furious with himself for letting Pan be taken from him again. He has been training alone in the field outside his house nonstop. You could probably sense his anger from miles away. Goku and Chi-Chi came over today to comfort all of us, but Gohan left to train. Goku has been trying to talk to him but Gohan won't talk to anyone, not even Videl. I was the one who had to break the news to Videl that we hadn't found Pan.

…Finally! She is trying to contact me! But she doesn't know where she is. I just asked her what is happening, but she won't tell me. My poor Pan. I have to help her!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Trunks closed his journal and jumped out of his chair to run and get Gohan. He ran through the house, past a distraught Videl and Chi-Chi, and out the door, the door banging against the wall as he pushed it open. He found both Gohan and Goku outside. Trunks ran up to Gohan who was continually firing ki blasts at the sunset, tears streaming down his face. Goku stood looking sternly at Gohan, but said nothing.

"Gohan," Trunks said gently, but couldn't keep out a note of urgency. "She's alive."

He stopped and turned to look at Trunks, Goku also turning to look at him.

"She contacted me just now," Trunks continued. "She's in pain and afraid, but she is alive."

Gohan suddenly gripped Trunks' arms violently and yelled, "Where is Pan?!" When Trunks failed to answer quickly enough, Gohan started to shake him. "Tell me!"

"Gohan," Goku said placing his hand on Gohan's shoulder. "Let him talk."

Gohan stepped back and crossed his arms glaring at Trunks.

"I don't know where she is. She doesn't know either." He heard Gohan curse under his breath. "But she said that the place is small and that it looks like a hut. She can't see outside though."

"Let's go looking," Gohan said, preparing to take off.

"No." Goku grabbed Gohan's arm. "I think we should wait. I know I seem mean right now, Gohan, but we should wait until she knows where she might be. I know you want to find her, but there are millions of huts all over the country and she could be in any one of them. You can't search all of them. We should at least wait until she has a chance to tell us what is outside of the hut. That would give us an idea of where to look."

Gohan growled and walked back to the house.

If my dream is in any way actually what Pan is going through, then I'll kill that son-of-a-bitch myself. In my dream, Pan is being beaten and…and the guy keeps raping her. The dream kept going back and forth between him beating her and raping her. That's all that went on throughout the entire dream. Pan was crying and blood covered her body. Bruises covered her face.

I woke up with my ki flaring, I was in super saiyan form. Can you blame me for being pissed at that guy? He's hurting my Pan! Gohan was in my room watching me. I think the sudden raise of my ki had woken him up. He didn't say anything to me, but I knew he wanted to know what I was dreaming. I didn't tell him. Maybe it was actually just a dream. Maybe the dream was just all of my imaginings of what might be happening to Pan. Maybe she wasn't communicating to me through dreams like she used to. Anyway, I didn't want Gohan to worry and think that Pan is being raped if she really isn't. I decided to keep my dream to myself. Maybe I'll tell him in the morning though.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next day while Trunks was eating lunch, he was struck with the sudden realization of where Pan was. Or at least an idea. He got up and accidentally knocked the chair over in the process.

"Gohan!" he yelled. "She's near a field! She's in the country maybe even on another farm!"

Videl came running to him and held onto Trunks. "Are you sure?" she asked.

Trunks nodded, pushing her off. "Gohan, let's go!"

"No! You come on!" Gohan yelled from outside.

Trunks ran out of the house and saw Gohan already in the air and waiting impatiently for him.

"Don't just stand there staring at me Trunks, come on!"

Trunks took to the air and flew with Gohan towards the countryside yet again.

Videl paced back and forth in the living room biting her nails. It had now been five hours since Gohan and Trunks had left. Soon it would be sunset, another day without her daughter. It had also been two weeks since Trunks had figured out that Pan was out in the country.

"I promised myself I would never lose her again," Videl muttered to herself. "I'm a bad mother. I let this happen to my only daughter." Tears ran down her face. "Well I'm going to do something about it," she said with sudden resolve.

Videl walked out of the house, leaving Joey playing with his video games. She took off at a run and flew into the air.

"Videl! Hey! Videl!" she stopped and turned around.

It was Trunks and with him was Gohan. In his arms, Gohan carried Pan's bloody form.
