This was just an idea. I had it up once before a few days ago and then took
it off because I thought it was bad. Then someone e-mailed to asking about
it so I put it up again. I hope it doesn't suck.
The Orphanage
A girl sat on a top bunk of many. She like others, were in an orphanage. She had been here since she was little, and couldn't remember her parents. A sigh escaped the five year old, life sucked. ********************
"Vegeta, I'm going off, I have to go give a donation to an orphanage." Bulma said to her husband, who scowled, "your coming too, it's the least you can do." *************
A thin, bony lady walked into the dormitory. "Lynx? Are you here? It's time for dinner?"
"Yeah," a sad voice said. "I'm always here."
"Come on dear, the food must be getting cold." He woman cooed.
"I'll come later and get left overs Ms. Zen."
"Dear, I know you're sad, you'll get loving parents some day." The woman walked over and stood on a chair, to get a better look at the girl laying in the bunk bed. She reached out a hand to stroke the girl's wild black hair. The girl reacted swiftly by recoiling from the hand and jumping catlike into the rafters above. "Lynx, why won't you trust me?"
Coal black eyes stared at the kind woman, they were eyes that were iced over by abuse and neglect, and they told a story that words didn't. The woman, Zen, did know her story though, as a baby she had been adopted out to what seemed like a nice, loving couple, but they weren't. For two years, she had been beaten, starved and forgotten until the authorities took her away. Ever since, even with tender loving care, that shield had never come down; nobody was trusted because she knew they would break it.
"I understand Lynx, well, even if you stay up there, some people that are going to make a donation want to see the sleeping areas, I'll bring you some cookies ok dear." Zen then left to greet the people that were coming.
Lynx waited until the woman had left and then saw something glitter on the other side of the room, in the rafter. She traveled across and picked up an orange orb. It had two stars. She looked at from every possible angle when the door opened; it fell from he hands. *******************
Bulma looked around, "oh how nice."
"Yes," Zen said, "we try and keep it as homely as possible in here, this is the girl dormitory."
Vegeta was just standing around until a dragonball fell from the rafters. He picked it up and saw a quick scurry of movement above. "Um, Ms. I forgot your name."
"Zen," she told Vegeta.
"Yes, do you have bats?" He was still looking up, whatever it was up they're had froze.
"Bats?" Bulma said disgusted.
"Erm, no that's a girl that usually stays up here. She was abused by her first adoptive family and is very secretive. She's been up there since I came in last." Zen explained with a worried look.
The man's eyes left her and Lynx was off again, but suddenly an old beam she was crouching on broke free and she fell with a squeak of dismay. Bulma rushed forward, and so Zen, to see if she was hurt. It was more than she could take, being surrounded. She backed up to a corner with a defensive look and got under a bunk that had wall on both sides.
Vegeta was impressed with this girl who fell and thought nothing of it. But his eyes widened a bit when he saw a quick flutter of brown behind her before she'd run off. It had to have been a tail.
"Lynx," Zen bet over to talk under the bed, "these are good people, they don't want to hurt you, I don't want to hurt you. Please come out. Please."
A low growl came in response. Vegeta then had an idea. He got the woman to get away from the bed and rolled the dragonball on the floor. It rolled past the bed and into the wall. A tail flicked out and wrapped around the orb, and pulled it in. She did have a tail. He bent over and reached a hand under, earning a bitten hand. He did pull her out by her tail, left carelessly in reach.
"Lemme go," she said angrily.
Bulma gasped when she realized what Vegeta was holding. The girl had a tail and was rasping for air because of the pain of it being squeezed. "Vegeta," she said in shock, "let go of her immediately." He didn't, but loosened his grip.
"Tell me Zen, when was she brought in to the agency." He asked her coolly, the girl started to struggle so he tightened his hold on her tail, making her stop.
"Um, about five years ago. No parents, lady dropped her off, said she found her abandoned " Zen glanced at Lynx, who for the first time in her life ever showed an emotion such was pain. "Why?"
"Did this lady have a tail."
"Nope, but she was a little insane, kept saying something about the ship and a crater, it turned out to me a meteor and an impact hole from it. Though Lynx was found in a trashy neighborhood, her parents could have been killed." Zen shrugged.
Vegeta nodded and turned to his wife, and said very gently, "Bulma."
She looked into those eyes that were once so fierce, and now very gentle, she understood perfectly. Bulma sighed, "is there any way to adopt this girl?"
Zen looked stunned, "yes, but we have to run background checks, if you have other children ask them about you, if you pass, she's yours."
Vegeta let go of the girl's tail, she skittered off into her hiding place again, the only place she felt safe. The couple left with Zen discussing matters of adopting her. She looked at the shiny ball in her hands. In the darkness it glowed softly.
