Chapter 9: The one where Pan finds Garland
"Leene! It is you!" Yelled Relm.
Pan fully opened the door to hug her sister. She took a step back to look at her, she had grown. Pan looked at Relm's deep green eyes. Relm had dark purple straight hair that reached her shoulders. Relm herself was a couple of inches shorter than Pan. Like the rest of the royal family, she had pale skin, but a few freckles graced her nose.
"I'm so happy to see you guys." Pan now took a turn to hug her mother.
"You've been doing fine Leene?"
Pan smiled wider at her mom's concern. "Sorta" she chuckled a little.
They all sat down at a nearby couch: "So Leene, how has life treated you on Vegeta-sei?" Relm asked innocently.
"Well," Started Pan "When I arrived on Gaia, the moon of Vegeta- sei.........."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
It was dark around him. He knew he was in the palace, somehow. Leene was there, walking towards him. *What's Leene doing here?* In his eyes she was moving painfully slowly towards him.
She finally was close to him. She reached for his cheek and softly caressed it. *......* He didn't know at all what to do, or say, or even think. As if on instinct he formed a chi ball and impaled Leene with it. Leene's eyes went blank, as she gasped for air. Her gasps became small whimpers of pain, the great pain in her stomach. Her eyes were as wide as they could get. She looked down at her stomach to find a hand deep within her. She started looking up, trailing the arm to arrive to the face of her attacker. She looked at him with utter disbelief, her eyes still wide. And for a moment she saw a twinge of remorse, before his blank expression appeared on his face once again. *What the?* He thought retrieving his hand. He watched the blood slowly trickle down his arm and fall on the clean black floor. Right beside the small red circles laid her body. Hand clutched to her stomach, blood flowing from the wound, slowly seeping through her clothes, and further forming a small puddle around her. Her eyes closing slowly as the warmth left her body.
He looked at her again without an expression. No happiness, no anger, no sadness, not even remorse. Again he looked at his hand as one heavy drop of blood traveled the distance between his hand and the floor...........
**
He woke up with a gasp. He felt his forehead, and he was drenched in sweat. He sat there for a moment trying to catch his breath. When he did, he looked out the window, it was day already.
His mind was still in a bit of a shock. Why did he have that dream about Leene?
"Garland? I brought you a cup of tea." Sora said entering the room.
"Tea? I really don't want to drink tea right now." He said still thinking about the dream he had just had.
"C'mon, this is good for you, it helps you relax." *And stay under my control.* She chuckled inwardly. "It'll calm you...so, here, drink."
Garland finally agreed and drank the cup of tea. Obviously tea was special to Sora.....he remembered the firs time she gave him one of her famous relaxing teas......come to think of it.....it was around there that he started having feelings of animosity against her mother.....and he started to become more greedy when it came to the kingdom. *Ahhh...nice and relaxing.* He sipped more tea. Any one close to him at the time would have definitely seen a change in prince Garland when Sora came around.
Sora was a noble. She was daughter of the duke of the district of Greyland, was a tall and slim girl. She was notorious among other people because of the contrasts of her appearance. Her hair was a deep red color, her eyes a light green. Her skin was very pale, if it weren't for the fact that her health had been assured, everyone would have guessed that she was indeed ill. Her ancestors had been great wizards and effective potion makers. Her heritage was certainly not unknown to the land. However, it was common belief that these talents or abilities died slowly with each generation and that her father and his siblings were not wizards or potion makers. It was actually known to very few in the far district of Greyland that her family still practiced wizardry and potion making. And further, the people closest to Sora's family knew very well what her teas were capable of, in specific Garland's teas. Thus this people knew of Sora's infinite greed.
If all this facts about Sora and her family were known in the city of Ferah, and the royal palace, it certainly would have been a matter for the supreme council to discuss. However, when she arrived, she got Garland's and the royal family's trust by laying low the whole time, not giving any suspicion of her true personality, intentions or abilities.
Once she had gave Garland his first tea, it was a piece of cake to gain control over him, given these 'teas' were just one more of her potions to keep Garland 'loving' her and doing whatever she wanted.
And obviously one thing she wanted was control of the kingdom of Jurai-sei, and the kingdom of the universe, and she would certainly attain this through Garland, and what was even greater, not anyone suspected her (And if they did, she would just have them killed). To everyone's eyes, she would just be another innocent bystander of Garland's greed and sudden crave for control of the universe.
Sora knew the control of the universe will be within her grasp not too long from now. However, she was very unsuspecting of the company that had just arrived in Jurai-sei.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
".......and that's pretty much how I ended up here." Pan smiled.
"Wow! Leene, I can't believe you went through all that." Amazement filled Relm's voice. "So is there going to be a wedding soon?" She elbowed Pan.
"I don't know." She looked down sadly. "Honestly, I don't want to think about that right now. "So, mom, what is all this commotion in the kingdom? What's going on?"
"Well," started queen Zeal, "You knew that Garland had taken an interest in Sora before you left. Well, that's when it all started. Subtly at first, I saw Garland's greed. I had never seen greed in Garland to that extent. It was so unlike him. I didn't want to say anything at the time because I wanted to find out all that was happening. Slowly I was finding out more and more about Sora, until a little over five hundred years ago Garland banished me and Relm from the palace to proclaim himself king. As you can see you've also been banned from the palace. I see now that it was Sora's intention to get rid of any emotional or mental attachment Garland would have with any of us.
"More than half of the population is still loyal to me, but are afraid for their families and themselves, so they claim loyalty to Garland. I understand. Given the situation I would probably do the same to protect my family. Garland will attack anyone who opposes to his rule.
"Sora has some sort of control over him. I don't know how, or to what extent. I don't know where in all this, Sora's will ends and Garland's will starts. We need to help Garland. I don't know how though. Whatever we do we have to plan this very carefully." Zeal finished by placing her hand up on Pan's as if to give her some hope.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Another couple of weeks had passed and Zeal had no definite plan. Pan was getting really impatient, not only for her brother to come out of whatever was going on within him. She just wanted to go over and at least find out how things were...the madness!!!
What was she supposed to do? Wait for everyone to get together? Hell no! This would also give Sora and Garland time to prepare for them. Queen Zeal's side would need all the help they could get; not only Garland, but Sora would be an exceptional enemy.
Pan couldn't sit still in her body. She wanted to jump out of her skin and go get the palace and their kingdom back from Sora. But how was Sora exactly controlling Garland? She didn't know. Would Sora have the power to control Pan also? Pan didn't know the extent of Sora's power, nobody knew. And she wasn't sure about Garland's power either. Had he been able to become stronger? Or could Sora have the ability to draw out power from a him?
Pan knew she had to act soon instead of asking herself so many questions that she wasn't going to be able to answer anyway. Pan had a gut feeling that Sora was aware of her presence in Jurai-sei by now. If this was the case, she needed to act quickly and hope to catch her off guard.
So why the fuck was Pan still sitting in the bed?
She turned to the window. *It must be noon.* She thought. She stood up before being questioned by her mother. "Leene, where are you going?"
"I'm just going out, I need fresh air." She replied with a blank expression on her face. It crossed Zeal's mind that she was going to the palace, but dismissed the thought. Zeal knew that it had been almost overwhelming for Leene to come back to a destroyed home. For a moment Zeal thought of stopping Leene, but she knew it would be futile, if there was someone stubborn in her family, it was definitely Leene. Maybe Leene had what it takes to finally defeat Sora at her mind games.
Pan was heading up the stairs and into the butcher's shop; she could only hope that her mother and sister would stay safe.
She exited the shop and took off into the air, headed for the royal palace.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Mom, where did Leene go?" Relm came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.
"She went to see your brother." Zeal said in a surprising calmness.
"What? And you let her go?" Relm threw her free arm in the air.
"Well, I wouldn't have convinced here to stay here. She's been impatient. She'll be fine. I know it." She smiled softly clutching her hands together.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"You're here again? What do you want?" The soldier at the gate demanded.
"I want to see my brother." Pan said with somewhat of a scowl. "I'm sure you know what I'm capable of, so if you want to live to see another day, I suggest you let me in." She smirked. A glimmer of blood-thirst graced her eyes.
The soldier had seen the same glint before......on Dalton, except that on him it was permanent. For a moment he feared for his life. "Go back princess, your power doesn't measure to king Garland and queen Sora. It's for your own good." The soldier pleaded.
Pan's smirked turned into a very arrogant smile. "Nobody tells me what to do, especially not the subject of a fake king and queen." She took a small step and raised her hand so it was pointing at the soldier's chest. A blue chi ball started forming in her hand. "Unlike my mother and sister, mercy is not something I practice often." She threatened, her chi ball shining brightly in her hand.
The soldier knew she would kill him if he didn't let her in. Fearful for his own life he got out of the way, and opened the gate for her.
"Hmm." Was Pan's only reply as she walked in to the gate. She didn't want to bother trying to convince other soldiers to let her through; she didn't even want to waste her energy killing them. So she flew as fast as she could to the place where she could feel Garland's chi: the throne room.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
He stepped out of the ship, his mouth hung open surprised of the dump the city was. The wind brushed softly his lavender hair from his face, giving the young prince a full view of the kingdom that was supposed to be overlooking the entire universe.
Goten, Bra and Trunks had landed on Jurai-sei the day before, and to their dismay, they had landed on the complete wrong side of the planet. It took them a day to finally find out where Ferah, the city of the royal palace was located.
"What a dump!" Goten sighed behind Bra while they were getting out of the ship.
"I know!" Bra lifted her hand to shield herself from the bright light the two suns in the sky emitted.
"Where should we start looking?" Trunks sighed. It was now his turn to shield the two suns from his eyes.
"Well, she's a princess here....so the palace would be a good place to start." Bra stated matter-of-factly.
"Sounds good to me!" Goten said excited.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
His head shot up after he heard the doors to the dark room burst open and he saw a slim figure approaching the throne. He looked around for Sora. And after not finding her, he wondered if the figure walking towards him was indeed her. It was definitely a girl. Her long hair flowed as the breeze from the cooler room flew out of the room. As his eyes adjusted to the bright light entering the room he could finally make out who was walking towards him.
Time seemed to slow down as he was painfully reminded of his dream. The figure approached him slowly, and he could finally make out the face of this person *Leene!* It seemed the dream he had last night was indeed an omen rather than just some farfetched figment of his imagination.
"Garland!" Even when she was furious at her brother, she couldn't help it to be happy that he was alive and well. She fought the urge to hug him and instead just stood there. "What is the meaning of all this? What has happened to you? You aren't like this?" Pan tried not to sound so pleading.
Garland had to equally fight the urge to run to his sister and ask her what had been going on in her life. Something foreign but known to him was stopping him from acting nice to the one person he had trusted his entire life. He only challenged her with his eyes; his mouth forming a smirk gradually, "What are you doing here Leene?"
"I came to get you back." It was Pan's turn to smirk.
"Well it won't be that easy." Garland's voice said but he didn't really know why those words came out of his mouth.
They were both oblivious to a pair of jade eyes watching them.
"I wasn't expecting it to be easy." Pan crouched into a fighting stance. She was several yards away from Garland. Garland did nothing but stand there proudly welcoming her attack. Pan couldn't stand the silence and charged at him, getting ready to throw a punch. "I won't let you kill anymore!" She yelled.
"I don't think so!" They both heard a feminine voice spread through the room. Immediately Pan became immobile. She grunted trying to free herself of whatever barrier that was restraining her movements.
Sora emerged from the shadow holding out her hand...indeed, Sora was the cause of Pan's immobility. "I don't think so, Leene!" Sora said her name with spite. "You're not going to stop me from my ultimate desire to rule the universe." Sora glared at her.
With the flicker of a finger Pan's body was moved to hover right in front of Garland. Smirking, he slowly lifted his hand and formed a white chi ball. And before any of them could say anything, he impaled his hand in Pan's stomach.
Pan was wide-eyed in surprise. She looked at Garland and couldn't quite decipher his look. It was blank, but showed brief hints of other things.....as if these feelings were being hidden. She couldn't believe Garland had done this to her. She couldn't believe he was letting himself be controlled by Sora.
Garland removed his hand from deep within her enjoying the smell of her blood.
Pan clutched her stomach as she fell to the floor, her view blurring from the tears that flooded her eyes. Her eyes cleared somewhat as the tears left her eyes and looked at Garland, then at Sora as she approached him. "You're going to die, sister." Sora mouthed, however these words came out of Garland's lips.
Pan smirked as she clutched her stomach tighter.
Sora had a blend of feelings in her eyes. Surprise, anger, disappointment....why was Leene smirking anyway? She was about to die.
With the smirk plastered on her face Pan said: "You forget that I've been granted a special power...."
"Pan!" They heard three new voices coming from the door of the throne room.
"Minna...." Her voice trailed off as she was slowly dying....or so it seemed.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"I don't think so!" They both heard a feminine voice spread through the room. Immediately Pan became immobile. She grunted trying to free herself of whatever barrier that was restraining her movements.
Sora emerged from the shadow holding out her hand...indeed, Sora was the cause of Pan's immobility. "I don't think so, Leene!" Sora said her name with spite. "You're not going to stop me from my ultimate desire to rule the universe." Sora glared at her.
With the flicker of a finger Pan's body was moved to hover right in front of Garland. Smirking, he slowly lifted his hand and formed a white chi ball. And before any of them could say anything, he impaled his hand in Pan's stomach.
Pan was wide-eyed in surprise. She looked at Garland and couldn't quite decipher his look. It was blank, but showed brief hints of other things.....as if these feelings were being hidden. She couldn't believe Garland had done this to her. She couldn't believe he was letting himself be controlled by Sora.
Garland removed his hand from deep within her enjoying the smell of her blood.
Pan clutched her stomach as she fell to the floor, her view blurring from the tears that flooded her eyes. Her eyes cleared somewhat as the tears left her eyes and looked at Garland, then at Sora as she approached him. "You're going to die, sister." Sora mouthed, however these words came out of Garland's lips.
Pan smirked as she clutched her stomach tighter.
Sora had a blend of feelings in her eyes. Surprise, anger, disappointment....why was Leene smirking anyway? She was about to die.
With the smirk plastered on her face Pan said: "You forget that I've been granted a special power...."
"Pan!" They heard three new voices coming from the door of the throne room.
"Minna...." Her voice trailed off as she was slowly dying....or so it seemed.

Gosh, again, I'm sooo sorry for not updating sooner. -_- I've been going through an especially rough time. My group got kicked out of our church, and now I have to drive an hour to go to church....it's really annoying.....but anyway. Then finals are approaching and I had to write several term papers....Then thanksgiving, 25 people showed up to my house!!! And the cooking, and setting the table, and the kids, and the cleaning.....GAH! I was going crazy.......not to mention the major block. I swear, I would be sitting in front of the computer for an hour trying to finish the damn chapter and I would only write a paragraph...-_-....that was until today! I don't know what happened.....but I liked this chapter...I know it was an evil cliffy....MWAHAHAHAHAHA.
So yeah, it's snowing outside...it'll soon be a year since my gramp's death....I miss the posadas in Mexico..and I miss Mexico in christmas time....WHAAA!........definitely melancholic times.
