Chapter 5

That morning, Goten found himself wondering how he had settled down enough to fall asleep. He had thought he could never sleep again.

The memory of his dream haunted him outside of slumber, and he could almost feel the cold fingers of the dark figure reach out to touch him once more, trying to stifle him.

"Come out!" Goten shouted, trying to see through the thick fog which had settled around him. He recognized it was getting smaller, closing up and around him, and he felt frightened.

He turned around slowly as he felt her behind him. He was expecting her to attack him again, but he was surprised as she faded away slowly, taking the fog with her. He was left in complete darkness.

"Where are you?" he asked the darkness feeling overwhelmed by the silence.

"I'm right here. I'll always be here, brother … no matter where you go, or what you do."

Goten felt a sting of pain coming from the pit of his stomach, as she started to use her power on him. Goten doubled over, holding himself. What was she doing to him?

"All you have to do is give up, brother. If you fight me, it will only cause you more pain" she said, her voice now whispering in his ear. He turned to face whoever was behind him, and swung his fist, preparing to feel his hand connect with flesh, but instead, he found himself off balance, and another surge of pain, this time, stronger, rippled throughout his entire body.

He screamed, and bent over; trying to focus on the person looming over him, but his vision was blurred as she sent shocks of pain throughout his entire body.

"Why are you resisting?" she asked him, whispering in his ear. Goten let out a deep growl from his throat, as she lifted her hand up in the air, preparing to hurt him once more.

"Let me have you powers. I'll take away all the pain…"

"No … how can I do that? I … don't even know you!" he shouted, hoping that she would become distracted enough to let go of her painful grip on him.

"How can you be so stupid?" Goten shouted in pain again as he felt an unknown force hold him in a deadly grip. He struggled to breathe, and his feeble attempts just humored her.

He glared at her.

"You stubborn mule!" She thrust her hands out in front of her, and Goten screamed again as he felt every muscle in his body stretching, pulsating as she tried to extract his energy from him.

"If you don't give me, I'll just take it!" she said, her face twisted into a sadistic smile. She was obviously enjoying the pleasure of having him screaming in pain in front of her.

Goten felt his entire body relax as she put her hands down by her side. She laughed slightly.

"You know what? I'm not going to do that. I'm going to make you beg me to take your power away; make you give your soul to me; body and soul. I'm going to make you suffer"

She disappeared again, and Goten lay on the ground, trying to catch his breath. He would never give her whatever she wanted.

"Goten?" a familiar voice called to him.

"Trunks?" he called back, slowly getting to his feet. What was she going to do to him?

Goten saw of in the distance as the woman stood by Trunk's side, smirking

"Help me…" Trunks fell to the floor, convulsing, and Goten ran to him, intent on fighting her off. How dare she drag Trunks into this?

Trunks shouted and screamed as he shook uncontrollably, blood running down the sides of his face. He curled up, trying to fight the pain.

"Stop it! What are you trying to prove?" Goten shouted at her. He lunged at her again, and swung at her face.

Trunks only shouted louder. Goten stopped to look at him. Every time he tried to attack her, she'd hurt him more …

"If you get this worked up over someone who isn't even related to you, then you won't like to see what I've done with your family …"

Goten only fell to the floor as images of his family members filled his head, screaming his name, crying for help …

That was when he had woken up. His dreams never used to be that clear. They were usually very vague and confusing. He had to struggle to make sense of anything happening there.

At that moment, Goten was standing in front of his father, prepared to tell him what was bothering him. Goku's eyes were worried, preparing for what Goten had to tell him.

Goten sighed, closed his eyes, and told Goku everything …
