Chapter 5: Veggie's Dilemma
Weeks past and I grew more comfortable around Vegeta. I learned more about him and the castle than I had ever known.
I saw Kakarott around, but he tried to stay away from me. I think he was still feeling guilty.
Vegeta made love to me every night. I started seeing stars everywhere I went.
I was sitting in the garden talking to the gardener, an old woman named Blood Moon. She was one of my only friends at the castle, beside Vegeta and Kakarott.
Vegeta walked up behind us, placing his hand on my shoulder. I turned and smiled at him.
"Hi, Veggie. What's up?" I asked cheerfully.
"I need to speak with Nightcall alone, Moon. Please excuse us." Moon nodded at the prince.
I stood and followed him to a corner of the garden, his favorite. It was dark and secluded, unlike the rest of the garden.
"So, Veggie, what is it?" I had grown into the habit of calling him Veggie when I heard that's what Kakarott called him.
Vegeta's face was serious. "Nightcall, I want you to think about this. Don't just answer because that's what you think I want you to say. Think for a few days."
I nodded, unsure what he was leading up to. He smiled slightly and continued.
"I've been meaning to ask you about this for a long time, but now seemed to be the best time." He got down on one knee and held my hands in his. "Nightcall, will you take me as your mate?"
I was shocked. My first instinct was to decline, but I was planning on think about it.
Vegeta stood up and kissed me. "Think about it. I know you love Kakarott, but please, think about it."
When I found my voice again, I squeaked, "Can I go back to my house to talk to my friend, Kadeta? I really miss her."
He apparently thought I had already decided to answer 'no', and he nodded solemnly.
"If you wish. But be back by nightfall." He turned on his heel and walked off.
I smiled and shook my head, taking off into the air. I flew towards Kadeta's house, the same house that I had had sex in not a month ago.
I knock on the door after landing in the front yard. Kadeta answered.
"Where have you been? You and Kakarott both disappear near the same time. Rumors have started up in school that you two are mates and ran away together."
"Hi, Kadeta. How are you? Can I come in?" I stepped forward making her back up so I could get inside.
"Okay, tell me what the hell is going on." Kadeta sat down on the edge on the couch.
"First of all, I am mated to Kakarott. Second, Prince Vegeta just asked if I would be his mate." I sat down beside her, telling her the entire story.
She jumped up at the end, excitedly. "Well, are you gonna say yes? I mean you should. I would kill to have Vegeta ask me to be his mate. Not that that's saying much, but still! It's the chance of a lifetime."
"Calm down. You don't think I know that? Stupid. The only thing keeping me from saying yes is Kakarott. I feel like I betrayed him, like I'm betraying him. It just doesn't feel right."
"The bastard betrayed you first. Just go tell Vegeta that you'll be his mate." Kadeta started pushing me towards the door.
Back at the castle, I tried to locate Vegeta. He was in his room, pacing.
I entered without knock, silently closing the door.
"Vegeta…" I said nervously. He looked up.
"Yes?"
"I'll be your mate…"
If you reveiw, then I'll update. Please send me your ideas, because I have lost track of what i was originally doing.
