Canto alla vita: I sing to life

Chapter 14: Fight for freedom

Trunks gawked at his mate. "Your WHAT!!!" Ryanna gave off her childish smile, cocking her head to the side. "I'm going to fight for my right to be your mate." Ryanna was allowed into the prince's chambers to discuss the matter happening the next day. To her dismay he wasn't taking it very well. "Are you crazy, love? You could die!" Ryanna smirked. "So you think that I can handle a hunter but not a few guards." Trunks looked at her confused. "But, back in the forest, they captured you easily."

Ryanna's smirk widened. "So I fooled you too did I?" Trunks' eyes went wide. "You mean, you were just acting?" Ryanna nodded. "It seemed to work very well." "But why get captured on purpose?" Ryanna touched his cheek. "They weren't going to leave us alone Trunks. I knew they were coming for you. So I made a pact with myself to let them capture us and then get what I want the old fashioned way. By fighting for it." Trunks put his hand over hers. "Your dad knows I can fight. That's why he hasn't killed me yet. He knows I was captured on purpose."

"How? I mean you were captured before." "I was caught off guard remember. Just like you and the hunter." Nodding he sighed. "I'm still worried. I mean what's in it for us if you win... a better question is what's in it for him?" Ryanna looked to floor for a second. "I, I told him... *sigh* I told him I would take lessons from your mother and live in the palace. So now we both get what we want." Trunks looked even more surprised now. "But you're practically giving away your freedom. You'll be giving away everything, your sanity, your life, the magic, the..." He didn't get to finish when Ryanna shut him up with her lips.

The kiss lasted for a few seconds, and when it did a small sigh escaped Trunks' lips. "Trunks the only magic I had was the magic that was taught to me and the magic I got from you." She made him sit down on the bed. Sitting on his lap she grabbed his face and made him look at her. "I don't need anything but you." Trunks put a hand on her arm and the other on her face. "Ryanna, I just..." "No, I won't take no for an answer. I'll be fighting whether you want me to or not." Trunks smiled. "You're stubborn, do you know that?" Ryanna mimicked the smirk. "Of course, I get it from you." Trunks laughed and kissed her again. "Just promise me you'll be careful, and win!" Ryanna laughed.

~The next day~

Vegeta took a seat in the gravity room of his training facility. He chose the strongest of his fighters to compete with the wicken. He had a deep feeling that this fight could get a little messy. His right hand man smirked and chuckled. "This is excellent. The wicken won't stand a chance." "You sound confident in your belief, Nappa." Nappa stopped his chuckling and looked at the prince. "Believe me when I say that this will be no ordinary fight. The girl has hidden power and I can sense it." "Is that why you didn't kill her at first sight?" Vegeta nodded.

The door of the room opened and Trunks walked in escorted by several guards. Following him were two guards hold Ryanna by her elbows. Trunks growled whenever they pushed or pulled her too hard. "Easy son, she'll be alright." Nappa scoffed. "Yeah until the Elites put a dent in that pretty face of hers." Trunks growled again but Vegeta put a hand on his son's shoulder. Ryanna stood in front of them and bowed politely. "Are you sure you want to go through with this?" "I made a promise your majesty, a promise to myself that I wouldn't give up without a fight."

Vegeta nodded and signaled for the first Elite to appear. Ryanna was freed from her chains and put into the center of the ring. Her opponent was big and burly as were most of the saiyan Elites. She smirked and took a fighting stance. "Well now aren't you a sight." The saiyan chuckled. "Now don't think that just because you're a woman I'm going to go easy one yah. I have my orders to use all of my power against you." "Oh don't worry, cause I'm not." Trunks looked on nervously as the signal for the battle to begin commenced.

Cliffhanger! I know what you're thinking. She took this long to update and now she's giving us a short chapter with a cliffhanger. What can I say? I'm evil! MWAHAHAHA!
