Ch. 5
Cupid's Arrow
I smile at the two girls and Trunks as I tie them up…oh wait…I'm wearing a mask so they don't know that I'm smiling…scratch that, I was glaring at them. How I hated them, for being able to touch Vegeta. To know him, to love him, and they did not give him the honor he deserved, the respect he needed. He is a Prince!!! He has to be treated like one.
He isn't a just anyone…he is royalties finest. He deserves the best and there is no one better than me… The teens cringe as I pull out some steel stakes. I wonder why they cringe, they have no idea what I am going to do. I walk closer to them and they try, stupidly, to scoot away.
I shake my head and grab Bra into my arms. She will go first in this little game of love.
"Are you ready for the game?" I ask her and all she does is cry in my arms as Trunks yells at me, like it will save her…trust me nothing and no one can save her.
"Let her go you freak!" Pan yells as she try's to squirm free.
I continue to walk a few feet away with Bra to a nearby tree. Positioning her against the oak, her back against the rotting wood. She looks to be maybe five or eight feet above the ground. I rip the ropes from her and yank one of her arms up laying the back of her hand flat against the tree. I position a stake at her hand and with a large hammer I waste no time in driving it right through her pretty flesh. She screams, how loudly the song she sings becomes as red liquid seeps through her wound. Tears paint her face as I grab her other arm positioning that arm above her head across from the other one, palm face out. I take the other stake and even before I drive it into her hand, her screams become high pitched whales like a banshee.
How I wish she would shut up and take the pain. My ears are not pleased right now. I slam the stake through her hand blood flowing almost instantly her cries continuing loudly. I hear Pan and Trunks yelling at me, but I don't care, I never have. I only care for Vegeta, and everyone I look at is threat, everyone will take him away from me...if I don't destroy them first, destroy all chances for that even happening.
He will be angry at first, that I killed everyone…but he will come to understand…he will… He will love me for what I have done, and I will worship him like the god he is…god…I laugh at the irony…what irony?!?!? Bra's screams break through my crazy thoughts.
Oh yes…the game… I let go of the bruised wrist I was so tightly holding too and look at Bra as she hangs from the tree, the only thing holding her there are the two stakes. How painful for her…but now she knows how it feels…feels for me when people are with Vegeta taking him away from me…it's so painful…
I float down to the ground next to Trunks and Pan they are still screaming at me…I had long ago drowned there voices out, because if I didn't my patience wouldn't last long enough, and they might be dead, thus leaving us with no game to play. I grab Pan by the hair and stand her to her feet, she yelps in pain.
"Ok…now it's time for the fun. Here are the rules. I am only going to say this once so listen carefully." I point at Bra hanging from the tree, screaming. "I call this cupid's arrow, Bra over there is your target." I hand Pan a bow and some arrows and she reluctantly takes them. "The goal of this game is to shoot the arrows at Bra's heart if you miss I will shoot an arrow at you, but if you make it you get a prize, and maybe Bra will fall in love with you... It's really fun if you think about it."
"I won't do it! You might as well kill me now!!!"
"I will, don't worry about that, but first we must play this game. I went to all this trouble to set it up. Bra is in a lot of pain…wouldn't it be better if you just end it?" I point to her again her head hanging low as blue hair flew across her wounded features. "Remember your prize it's…Trunks…I know how you love him. So if you win, you get the love of your fantasies.."
She blushed deeply, how selfish of her, even at a time like this, she blushes.
"Trunks isn't a prize to be won, he is a human being!" I ignored her lame words and continued on with the game's explanation.
"Cupid's arrows are usually tainted to make a person fall in love with the first person they see, but that's not so in this case, these arrows are tainted with a particular type of poison that painfully and slowly shuts down your organs…so just imagine if you got this in Bra's system…the poison would slow her heart with each beat making the toxic liquid flood her blood stream shutting down each of her organs, that means collapsing her lungs, making it painfully aware the she is dying.…slowly…"
Pan gasped at the explanation as Trunks tried to kick me.
"You evil fuck! My dad is going to hate you forever if you kill Bra!! He will never love you, EVER!"
"I'm not killing her, Pan is…" Vegeta will love me, no matter what. He will love me, I need him to. "Ok enough talk time to play! Pan…go ahead…begin.."
She shook her head and dropped the weapon, crumbling to her knees.
"I…I can't…I won't…" I pulled her up by her hair again this time harder.
"You can, and you will!" I shoved the weapons back into her arms.
"Pan don't!" Trunks cried, I turned to him and shot him with a strong ki blast to the head not killing him, just knocking him out.
"Now that I shut him up, you may proceed." I coaxed her arms in the position, even drawing back the string on the bow with her. "All you have to do is let go…" She just stood there tears cascading from her eyes. She wouldn't do it. I would have to force her. So I bumped her slightly causing her hand to slip and I watched as the arrow sailed across the sky burying itself in Bra's leg.
The blue haired girl I thought to be passed out came to life with a horrifying scream as the arrow invaded her leg. I stood behind Pan and looked at her back…examining it. Once I felt secure in what I was doing I raised my own bow and arrow and shot it right through
Pan's back and watched as she fell to the ground screaming.
"You missed…" I looked at her laying on the ground her words catching in her throat. I didn't miss…the arrow had gone straight through her chest. She tried to speak, but found herself choking on her blood. I put a hand to my ear. "What? What was that? You seem to be choking, I can't hear you…" I laughed as she looked to be getting angry with me.
"Shut up…it's useless…your dying and no one will ever save you, no one even cares." I bend down close to her face as she coughs a little blood on me…purposely more than anything. "You know this game was rather pointless…oh well…at least someone is dying." She attempted to hit at me which of course I easily blocked.
I took the end of the arrow that was sticking out of her chest and pulled it out fastly, leaving a very small hole in her chest, red blood pouring out. Maybe I shouldn't have done thought, it seemed to have killed her…
I sigh as I look at Bra, she isn't dead, but she will die, especially with that poison in her system. At least (technically) I didn't kill her. I may have caused a series of events that lead up to her death but I didn't kill her.
Looking at this scene, it isn't bloody enough…I wish I had more time but I don't, I feel the other's approaching…so I must leave…
************************************************************************
Part of the Z fighter's arrived on the scene with grim faces as they looked around, not liking what they saw.
Vegeta landed next to his son who was laying face down on the forest floor. He bent down, checking his pulse, and smiled when he felt it nice and strong.
"The boy is just unconscious." He said standing up turning to everyone else.
"I found Pan…" Goten yelled. "She's…she's… dead…" Yamcha ran over to Goten to make sure Pan was dead. He kneeled next to them putting a hand over the hole that was in her body and turned his head a little. He couldn't believe someone would do this. It disgusted him.
"VEGETA!" Goku yelled. The Prince ran over to where his lover was. Goku was kneeling on the ground with Bra in his arms. "She was on the tree, she had stakes through her hands, but she is still breathing."
"Give her to me!" Vegeta demanded nearly snatching his daughter away from him. "Bra! Bra! Can you hear me? Open your eyes…NOW!" Bra moaned at the sound of her father's voice, forcing her eyes to part only slightly.
"Da..ddy..?"
"Shh, don't speak. We need to get you to an emergency room…" Bra was shaking her head no as the Prince kept on speaking. "Or a senzu, Kakarott use your instant transmission." Goku reached his hand out touching Vegeta's shoulder.
"Where to Vegeta?"
"Fuck anywhere! Hospital, the lookout…"
"Daddy…no…it's too late…poisoned…badly"
Vegeta shook his head and held his daughter tightly to him.
"No! I said don't talk!"
Bra's eyes slowly closed as her breathing became very slow.
"I…lo..love..you…" Her eyes closed permanently as her last words echoed through Vegeta's mind, wrenching at his heart. No! He squeezed Bra to him, as he felt her body become very limp and heavy.
"No! NO! Kakarott take us to the lookout Dende can heal her, revive her!" Goku stood by his Prince's side, rubbing his shoulder comfortingly not saying anything. He put two fingers to head and disappeared. Seconds later they reappeared at the lookout.
"Dende!!" Goku yelled as Vegeta stormed through the place with his daughter in his arms.
"I am going to kill the bastard who did this. Fuck the police, I am going to find him myself and fucking kill him."
************************************************************************
Krillen's car entered the empty capsule corp driveway, as he saw Seventeen landing. He got out of the car and shouted to Seventeen who turned to him.
"Have you seen Eighteen?"
He nodded and turned away from the shorter man. Krillen feared the worst once Seventeen turned his gaze back and saw how sad his eyes were.
"She's been murdered…"
"NO!!!" He said no, but he had secretly already felt it, once he saw Marron he knew Eighteen had been killed too. Seventeen not really knowing what to do turned back around and knocked on the door.
They both waited there silently for an answer, but did not get one.
"Everyone is gone…where would they go? Vegeta did tell me to come here."
Krillen looked up at the black haired beauty.
"He did? Why? I didn't think Vegeta the type to ask someone to come over."
Seventeen peered in a window ignoring Krillen's question.
"Maybe something happened. We should go and look for them. They could be in trouble."
"No…it's you whose in trouble." They both turned to see…the killer! Only they didn't know this person to be the killer. Since the person was wearing a long trench coat and a hat that shaded his face.
"Who are you?" Krillen retorted.
"Who do you want me to be?" The man asked slyly stepping closer.
Krillen stared strangely at the person, and for a moment fear entered him, telling him to run, but he didn't.
"We don't have time for games…" Seventeen added dryly.
"Yeah, so if you don't mind can you leave."
The killer played with the rim of his hat, pulling it down lower over his eyes a little.
"Leave…I just got here, why would I leave?"
"It's just one thing after another, now we have a psycho harassing us. All of this is happening just because someone loves that arrogant asshole! Why should we have to suffer!" Krillen pointed a stiff finger at the killer. "Look buddy you need to leave…we are waiting for some people!"
The killer stepped forward closer to Krillen as Seventeen interrupted.
"You said that were in trouble…why?" The killer glanced at the android.
"Well we are all in trouble aren't we? It's all over the news… There is a killer on the loose, we better be careful who we talk to, the killer could be any one of us. Why it could be him…" He said pointing to the short man.
"But it isn't, is it…because you despise the Prince…don't you…don't you? What did you call him again? Arrogant asshole…yes that was it…" Krillen stared at the man a minute taking in his crazed tone of voice, as he repeated the words arrogant asshole. Why would he be so upset?
"Look all I'm saying is that Vegeta could have left or something, or he could have stayed away from Goku, like the note said, but no he had to do what he wanted like he always does. He only thinks of himself. He is selfish and his selfishness caused the death of my family. And why am I tell you this, I don't even know who you are."
The killer crossed his arms and gave a little snort. "Such words…and that's all they are…words…if you were so worried why didn't you leave? Why didn't you go and move somewhere else? Take your family far away from the psycho that is stalking Vegeta?"
He walked closer poking Krillen in the chest. "HUH? Why? Unless…unless you wanted to be near the Prince…my PRINCE!!!!!!!!" Seventeen stepped between them both and held his arms out.
"You…you're the killer? You killed Eighteen. You fucking bastard. I can't believe this!" He began a flurry of punches which were easily dodged, Krillen stood back in awe. The killer grasped onto Seventeen's wrists and threw him aside. "When I want you, I will get you. Until then don't interfere…unless you want to pay the price…which you will soon enough."
He turned his head to Krillen who put himself in a fighting stance. The killer laughed loudly and crossed his arms once again. "What do you call that?" He stepped closer. "Oh I know, we will call that your last stance…"
He quickly found his hand around Krillen's throat and squeezed it roughly, digging his nails into the flesh underneath him. Seventeen got off of the ground and rushed at the killer's back punching him relentlessly.
He sighed mentally, this was going to be a problem, he was going to have to finish this another time. He also felt some other ki signatures approach rather quickly. The killer pushed Seventeen off of him with much force and held Krillen tightly in his grips, grabbing one of his arms and snapping it up and backwards breaking it and dislocating it.
The bald man howled in pain as he was dropped to the ground clenching his extremely wounded arm. The killer took no further notice in anything around him, taking off into the sky like a comet. He would finish them later…all of them.
************************************************************************
Not fast enough, not enough deaths…it is taking so long for me to be with my Prince. I don't know how much longer I can wait. I close my eyes as my body speeds through the river of sky. I need to touch him, be with him now. Even if it's just for a little bit of time, until he is fully mine.
I smile to myself as I think of the perfect plan…yes, something fun and enjoyable for everyone. Especially me…
