Chapter 3

I Don't Belong Here

Slowly Kia looked around; I was cold where she was. Very cold. She wrapped her arms around herself and closed her eyes.

This place was too much like her dreams; she didn't like it at all and why the hell was it so cold! She shivered slightly. Suddenly she felt a sort of warmth near her.

Cracking open an eye she turn to her right and was amazed at what she saw.

It was a sort of large field filled with flowers and sunshine. Butterflies and dragonflies flew low to the ground wail blue jays and robins flew above.

In the back she could see what looked like perfect climbing trees filled with juicy apples waiting to be eaten. It was some kind of paradise.

It was her dream world. I was the world she wanted but couldn't have. I was beautiful.

It. it wasn't the kind of world that she belonged in at all.

This world wasn't for her, must be for someone else.

She turned away and started walking into the darkness. (A.N. good girl, no go in light) She could never fit into that kind of world. Happiness always seemed to reject her.

God made sure to it that she was never happy she guessed. But then why was that tranquil world offered to her so easily.

Maybe it was a test. 'A test, ya right, just like in high school' She let out a little chuckle at a memory of high school but frowned suddenly at the thought of it.

It reminded her of her unhappiness, the way the other kids seemed to reject her and make fun of her. Sighing she turned back to the world behind her. It still glowed almost waving for her to come back.

She didn't.

Just then she remembered the orange ball she found earlier. Quickly her hand flew to the pouch at her waist. I was still there but it seemed to glow with warmth just like the land in front of her.

'This doesn't belong with me, it belongs there, in that world' She pulled it out and stared at it contemplating what to do with it.

Slowly she put it down onto the ground and gave it a small push with her foot toward the field. She turned and started walking away.

Just as she put 5 feet between the ball and herself she heard a soft thump near her hip. It was her pouch. Inside it was her ball! 'What the HELL!?' She thought. She looked behind her but the ball wasn't there. But, this couldn't be the same ball. could it?

She reached in and put the ball back down but this time kicked it hard. She turned and started running when she heard the thump again. Kia stopped dead in her tracks, reached into the pouch, grabbed the ball that just appeared there and threw it as hard as she could away from her.

She took slow steps backing away from it, staying facing it. It rolled a bit but then stopped. After a wail of it not moving she turned to go and went smack into something hard. "Oooowwwiiieee." She said rubbing her nose where she got hit.

She looked up to see the ball floating up in the air. 'Aaaawww come on why wont it stay THERE??' It lowered down in front of her and glowed slightly. "Man, what's up with this, does it wanna stay with me or something?" She said knowing it wouldn't reply... or maybe it will. It shone a brighter glow now as if answering her." Damn it fine, come here."

She reached for the ball and just as she touched it, it started glowing brighter than before,(A.N. If possible) blinding her. "HHHEEEYYYY!" The floor beneath her just opened up like it was trying to eat her. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" She screamed.

All around her it was like the twilight zone, sorta like light speed going through space. She was falling down some sorta tunnel and yet as she went she stopped being frightened and started to relax a bit. But she didn't stop her screaming.

It felt like she was flying. She loved it. Just as she was about to stop screaming and think of a way out of this, she landed with a loud THUMP.

A spark shot through her back. She moaned in pain. 'Well lookie Mr. Hurt came back'

Slowly she tried to stand but ended up meeting the moss covered ground, face to face. "Well THAT didn't work!" Slowly this time she stood humped over.

Her balled up hands shook with pain.

Carefully she walked, over to her left she heard some noises, like humans talking. Stumbling threw the bushes she finally spotted three people standing there.

There was a little boy and a tall man with messed up, gravity defying hair. And next to them was an even taller green guy with no hair what so ever, but he did have antennas and pointy ears.

Kia didn't really seem shocked to see him, she had a pounding headache, like someone was dropping avils on her head, and right now she couldn't think straight. Hell, right now she thought it would be pretty cool to have pointy ears and green skin. Kinda like an elf. 'Yeah a really big elf.'

Her vision started getting blurry then, hurriedly she tried to call out to them, but no sound came from her mouth except a barely audible grunt. The green guy's ears twitched a little and he looked over at her with startled pure black eyes.

'Heehee, I like his eyes' the little boy said something and she smiled just barely. She saw him move his lips but she couldn't hear what he was saying.

This was probably because she passed out just then.

Piccolo's POV

Piccolo was talking to Gohan and Goku about going out to spar when he heard a small grunt to his right. Quickly he turned his head toward where it was coming from.

"What's wrong Piccolo?" Paying no attention to Gohan's question he watched a woman almost hidden in the bushes. "Who are you?" He said. She just sorta smiled before passing out.

"Who are you talking to Piccolo?" Goku said looking in the direction piccolo was when he saw a woman unconscious on the ground. "Oh my Kami!" Goku yelled.

Piccolo flew over and knelt down feeling for a pulse. It was there but very weak. Quickly he looked over her searching for injuries. All over her back red spots where she was probably bleeding heavily.

He finished his exam just as Goku and Gohan knelt down next to her to get a good look at her also. "Gohan, go get Chichi, this ladies hurt!" Goku said looking over the red spots.

"Right dad." Quickly Gohan flew off into the direction of his house. Carefully Piccolo picked her up, trying not to touch her wounds and flew towards Chi Chi's ki with Goku following close behind.
