I stared at the plate of food and glass of wine in front of me. I'm not hungry.
"You have to eat, son." Kold said. I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry!
"I'll eat later." I told him.
"It'll build your strength up."
"I'll still eat later."
"… Fine, then." Kold sighed.
"Who's Bardock?" I asked.
"Bardock?" he looked at me. I stared back. "There was a man in my dream… he had a furry tail."
"Oh, he must be a saiyan, then." Kold replied.
"Saiyan…?"
"Don't you remember them, either?" Kold frowned. "What IS the matter with you, Frieza?"
"What are the saiyans?!" I snapped.
"Don't raise your tone at me." He said. His voice sounds so cold… I can feel myself trembling…

"The saiyans were a sad and pitiful race with monkey tails. You destroyed them about twenty-odd years ago." Kold answered my question.
"What…?" Destroyed them? How…? I don't remember anything of it. Why doesn't he realise that?
"You blew up their planet." Kold told me. "Planet Vegeta."
"… Bardock said that…" I mumbled. "Bardock said… Frieza would kill them all."
"Well, you did." Kold replied. "Or at least, most of them. There are a couple of survivors. Unless, you killed Vegeta…?"
"Who?"
"Oh, nevermind!" Kold was impatient.
"I…" My head hurts. I recognise the name. Vegeta… Who is he? Those memories… I can't tell which set of memories I know that name from.
"… Raddan…?" I spoke my thoughts aloud. Who's Raddan? Is he a friend of Vegeta's?

"Excuse me?" Kold looked at me. I stared back.
"Who's Raddan?" I asked. "I know that name…"
"… I don't know." Kold stood up.
"Yes you do!" I argued. He knows, he's just not telling me. What does he have to hide? "Tell me!"
"Be quiet!" Kold roared. "I don't know that name, and I don't appreciate you arguing with me! Have you forgotten your inferiority, too?"
"No!" I squatted down and covered my ears. I can feel myself shaking. "I'm sorry, papa!"
"… There, there..." Kold's voice was gentle now. "I'm sorry. Don't be afraid, son." He put his hand on my back. I froze. Get off me!

I jerked away. I'm still shaking, and I know he can see the terror in my eyes as I stared up at him. Why am I so afraid of him? When he yelled… I freaked. Why? He won't hurt me. He can't…
"Son, what's the matter with you?" Kold asked. He reached out to me, but I slapped his hand away.
"Go away!" I hissed. "Leave me alone!"
"What do you remember?" He questioned.
"Raddan! That name, what is it?" I demanded.
"I have no idea."
"You do! You're just not telling me!" I'm angry now. Why won't he tell? "Tell me!"
"Do you remember Prince Vegeta?"
"Prince…" I mumbled. Yes… but, aren't there two? "Are they twins?" I asked. Kold laughed.
"Twins? Son, there's only one Prince Vegeta. Did you kill him?"
"Kill him?"
"He worked for you, remember? But that last I heard, he'd gone crazy and you were going to kill him." Kold told me.
"I…" I put my hand on my head. It was hurting again. "… Don't remember…"
"Well… give it time." Kold said. "Come on, you need to eat. When I come back I want to see that plate empty." He left the room.

Prince Vegeta… Prince Vegeta…
I remember a boy… But… aren't there supposed to be two boys? Two princes?
I don't remember killing him… but maybe I didn't. Although… I don't remember wanting to kill him, either. I don't think…
I'm hungry.

I started to eat the food.

"Frieza-kun…"

What was that? I heard a woman's voice…

"What are you? Some sort of lizard?"
"I guess so, if you're okay with being a monkey!"
"Hey, I'm not a monkey!"

What?! I grabbed my head. Those voices… I recognise all three of them! Those second two were just kids, though… And one of them sounded like me in that dream…
Who are they?

"So what's your name?"
"Frieza. What's yours?"
"Prince Vegeta."
"Yeah, I knew you were a prince. I'm a prince, too."

"Vegeta?" That name! "Raddan…" Wasn't he related to Vegeta? I'm sure he was… but what about the other Vegeta? Aren't there two? It doesn't make sense that there's just one…
What happened to them? Who killed them?

Me. Kold already told me that. He told me I killed all the saiyans, and I might have killed Prince Vegeta. But who –
No. I don't want to hurt my head again. I'll think about if after I eat.

So I carried on eating. I was eating a lot of dead animals. Kold told me that animals were mostly what changelings ate. He told me rats were my favourite. I had to take his word for it.
"Vegeta…" I thought as I chewed. "Who killed him…?"

"Who killed him?"

I coughed. Who said that?! My eyes widened when I saw the monster. He stood right in front of me! He… he's glaring at me! With those eyes… I'm choking. He's laughing at me. Help! I can't breathe! He's choking me…
I…
~
I'm in a dark room… It's all blank, I can't see anything.
"Vegeta?" Oh, no! My voice has gone strange again.
"Frieza!" A boy ran over to me. "Hi!"
"Who are you…?" I asked him. He had brown hair… I knew his face. I've definitely seen him before somewhere! Yeah! It's Vegeta! Prince Vegeta!
"What do you mean?" He laughed. "You know who I am! Hey, my father said I'm coming over to yours later."
"Huh…?"
"Well aren't you going to say anything?" He asked.
"Who's your father…?" I replied.
"Come on, you KNOW who my father is!"
"I –"
"Frieza." Another boy came. He looks… familiar, in a way. As if… someone else knew him, and told me about him. I don't think I've ever met him before… or maybe I have…
I can't tell.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Prince Vegeta, who are you?" He replied. Prince Vegeta? So there ARE two! Which is the one Kold was talking about?
"I SAID who are you?" Vegeta growled.
"Frieza." I answered. "Do you know King Ko –"
"Don't be so damn stupid!" He snapped. "You're just a saiyan kid! Why haven't I seen you before, anyway?"
"But I –"
~
I'm… awake.
"Frieza?" Kold's voice…
"Huh…?" I mumbled. "What happened to me…?"
"Geez! I leave you alone for LESS than five minutes and you choke and black out!" Kold exclaimed.
"There's two!" I said.
"What?" He looked at me.
"There's two Prince Vegetas, right?"
"No." Kold growled. "Not anymore." He walked off.
"Huh…?"

~~~~~

I gasped. My eyes snapped open as I did so. What time is it? I looked out the window. It was nighttime. My room was dark, there were no lights on. Why did I wake up so suddenly? I don't know…

I sat up in bed. And I saw the mirror. The monster was there again… its eyes glowed… like lights. The rest of its body was darkened out, but its eyes…
The monster stared at me. Smirking at me. It was sitting in bed, just like I was. But it wasn't my reflection. They weren't my eyes…
I feel so afraid… but I still want to know what the monster is. I saw it before… it spoke to me.
"W – Who are you…" I choked out. The monster just smirked back at me.
"Did you… kill Vegeta?" I asked. It nodded. "Did you kill both of them?" It nodded again.
"Did you –
Please…

I… it's getting closer! How?! It can't do that! It's stuck in the mirror!
Not anymore it's not. It's out of the mirror now…
No… please! I crawled back, as far back as I could! I can feel my back against the wall. But it's still there! It's coming closer, and now there's nowhere left to run!
Help me! Somebody!

The monster… it's on my bed. It's crawling towards me on all fours… its eyes… Why are its eyes so bright? I'm so afraid of them… What IS that thing?! Get it away!
I swiped at it, but it can dodge. It just smirked at me for trying to hurt it.

I can feel my body freezing up. The creature's face is inches away from mine. It's eyes… I can't stand seeing them! I closed my eyes, but I could still see that thing there!
So I opened my eyes again. It smirked, and whispered:
"I killed you, too."
Then it vanished, and I saw it back in the mirror. Copying me like a reflection should.

I lay down and closed my eyes… but I can still feel it staring at me. So I'll just try to ignore it and go to sleep…
