Phobia
Chapter 13: Sleep on needles
I shook my head as I pushed myself onto my hands and knees. The sound of water slapping against wood reached my ears.
My heart pounded in my chest as I heard a soft voice. My eyes darted up. Their back was turned away and I immediately recognized the person. Their dark spiky hair gave them away. I got myself to my knees and onto my feet shakily.
Where am I?
I looked back at my father, his tail swayed back and forth behind him. It suddenly froze in its place and he quickly spun towards me, he must have heard a board squeak. A warm smile appeared on his face as he saw me. His eyes glistened in the moonlight. As did the water that surrounded the dock, we were on. He stepped closer, his eyes scanning the area. His every move was slow as if he was afraid I might hurt him.
His mouth opened, "hey Gohan!"
I looked back to the darkened water. This obviously wasn't real. I was at the table talking to Bulma and then I was here. Videl thinks she's smart. Trying to fool me. I'm not an idiot. It won't work on me. A yell escaped my lips. "Show yourself Videl," my voice echoed.
My dad looked down for a moment. "Uh . . . Gohan . . ."
"Stay where you are!" I shouted. I won't end up like the others have. I will not succumb to that bitch. He stopped dead in his tracks. (A/N: hehe, I had to use that.)
"Oh yeah the dream thing . . ." he paused. "Uh Gohan, ya see I did this. I swear." I hesitated; it could be a trick. What if it isn't?
I crossed my arms "prove it."
"Wha-? How?" He still stood in the same spot, the moonlight illuminating him.
"I'll ask a question that only you would know then you-" my eyes caught sight of the bracelet that was around my father's wrist. "What is that?" I pointed towards it. Noticing Vegeta's name inscribed in the heavy looking gold.
A grin appeared on my dad's face. "That's why I'm here." Maybe it's true. She couldn't have known about the tail.
"I believe you. So what is that?" His furry tail brushed across the bracelet.
He stepped closer, his voice lowered. "I can't talk loud cause Videl might be somewhere in the dream. She can't hear if we whisper." I nodded. "When me and Geta were on the planet we went swimming and stuff. He asked me to marry him . . . this is a wedding band I guess." His tail fiddled with it.
I smiled as I spoke. "That's great" I made sure my voice was low. "I'm very glad for both of you."
"Thanks . . . I did this so Videl wouldn't find out. I wanted to tell you first. Vegeta said not to tell anyone but . . . I wouldn't be able to keep it a secret from you. If Videl found out . . . she'd get crazier than she already is." Yeah, she's psychotic. "You can't tell anyone not even Goten. Okay?"
"I promise." He smiled warmly, but I could still see the sadness in his eyes. I could tell he wanted to be with Vegeta but at the same time didn't. I heard a soft groan come from him. I eyed him for a moment; his face grimaced. "What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing. Just kicking I think." I rested his hand on his slightly bulged stomach. "She's going to be very strong. I can tell. It hurts really bad when she kicks."
My eyes went back to his. "She?"
"I can sense the ki and it feels like a girl." A sister? She needs a name. "Have you thought of a name yet?"
His smile broadened, "Yeah, Kura." (A/N: said like Sakura, the Kura part without the Sa.)
"That's a great name. I think Vegeta will love it."
"Yeah me too. I should be getting back . . . Geta will freak out."
I chuckled; "yeah, that's true. What should I tell Bulma? I was by her when I fell asleep."
He shrugged and turned away from me. "Tell her you were very tired and fell asleep."
"Okay . . . I have a question though. How did you get us here?"
"I concentrated on our minds and intertwined them. Then I thought up a place and here we are."
"So that's how Videl does it . . ." I frowned. It's so simple. Anyone can do it. I wonder if it can be done to Videl. "Can it be done to Videl?" No answer came from my father. "Dad?" He turned back towards me, his bottom lip caught between his teeth.
"Yeah . . . I did it to her and it- it wasn't very pleasant. I saw what she was afraid of . . ."
He obviously didn't want to talk about it. It must have been involving him. "Okay."
"We should go. I'll see you in a little bit." He forced a smile. "Bye."
"Bye . . ." I wanted to say more but nothing came to my mind. My father slowly faded then everything blurred, in a swirl of colors and faded to black.
To Be Continued . . .
