The Gift part 2 Chapter 4

Athena was testing the chip while gohan was laying back in the chair. Athena notice something strange about the chip that it was activated and being controlled by something. "That's strange? Said Athena. "What's strange?" said gohan.



"The chip, it seems like it's been activated by something and I'm for sure I got rid of that necklace that I used to control it!" "I thought it was always activated." Said gohan.



"Well not really it's usually like that when you get headaches but the chip is fully activated like if someone is controlling it!" "Athena, I don't know what's going on but who's playing with my mind cause this isn't FUNNY!"



"Gohan please don't get upset cause your vital signs are changing! You'll throw the test off!" "Ok Athena I'll calm down. I'm sorry it just feels like a nightmare when I was sixteen and your father was in control!"



"Don't worry gohan my father is in jail and far from this planet!" "I know that, it's.... weird dreaming about your dad trying to kill me and he's in prison!"



"Sometimes I wonder what you ate that gave you nightmares?!" said Athena smirking at gohan.



"I don't think I want to answer that cause my vital signs will go up! Can we take these things OFF Athena were getting nowhere!" said gohan getting a little angry looking at Athena.



Athena started to take the patches off. "I'm SORRY gohan if I made you angry but I can't THINK of anything else unless someone has a controller and you destroyed my father's before you fought him!"



"Athena what do you want me to say that I'm losing my mind! Look, this is driving me crazy I'm going to go back home and go to work and get my mind off of this!"



"So are you going to abandon your FAMILY again?!" said Athena getting angry.



Gohan looked at her calming down. "No Athena I'm angry right now cause I'm having nightmares that I'm waking up from leaving scars on my body and maybe that chip is causing it! I don't know, but I just might take you upon that offer about having that thing removed and also it's just... I can't live in this castle I'm not ready to be a prince please understand I'm not royalty! Athena, your dad did have me trained to be a prince. But can I really do the job? And my heart is not living on Zeon!

Touching her face. I do love you Athena but I rather for you and Arden to come live on earth with me! I know your use to servants waiting on you in a castle but I don't know if I can adjust to that life! I know you don't like for me to work but I do enjoy teaching my college English class! Please understand I wasn't raised in a castle, which this place is pretty exciting! Athena smiled at him. But I just can't seem to fit in! I don't know, maybe I'll come up here and live and I have been thinking about it a lot! It's not easy but I'll try and make up my mind soon!" said gohan-kissing Athena.



"Your going to work tomorrow?" "Yeah but I got to get some sleep!" "You want some company tonight?" said Athena kissing him and touching his hair.



"Maybe, if you want to!" kissing her back. "Ok I'll be down tonight!"



Gohan took the crystal and opened the portal and left. Appearing in his living room gohan went upstairs and put on his p.j's, it was early afternoon so he wanted to try and see if he could take a nap. "Maybe if I eat something before I go to bed maybe I won't get nightmares." Said gohan going downstairs to eat something.



There was a knock on the door and gohan shouted to come in. "Hi dad! Come in!" "Hi son! Why are you in your pajamas after two in the afternoon?" said goku closing the door.



"I was going to take a nap cause I couldn't sleep last night!"

"Is that why you were screaming!" said goku.



"You, HEARD ME last night?!"



"Who couldn't hear you your mother sure did and she thought you was making grandchildren!"



"Well I wasn't making grandchildren and I was screaming cause Athena put alcohol on my new wound cause I had another nightmare!"



"Gohan you have got to be kidding?! Another nightmare?!" Gohan lifted his shirt and he had four three inch lines on his side. "Gohan are you sure your not sleepwalking?" said goku looking at gohan strange.

"Dad I don't know what to tell you it's either my dreams are REAL or someone is trying to come in my room and KILL ME in my SLEEP! My wife was here the whole time and I don't understand it! So I'm thinking about getting that chip removed or I'm going to lose my mind!"



"Do you think it might be too much work?" said goku.

"Dad I took some time off this week to spend time with my family and I haven't got any rest but just a bunch of nightmares and a lot of pain! Dad, your the first person I've said this to but.... I'm afraid to go to sleep cause I'm defenseless in my sleep. I have no power in my dreams and omnimus can do whatever he wants to me! I don't know where it's coming from but Athena said someone has a controller and said she got rid of hers and I destroyed omnimus controller! I don't know dad but I'm tired of this!"



"Son do you want me to sit and watch you take a nap to see if anything happens?!" "Dad, don't you have something to do instead of watching me sleep? Cause I don't want to keep you from anything!"



"Your not keeping me from anything I got all afternoon!"



"What about mom? I don't want her to get upset and start coming over here!"



"Don't worry about your mother I'll think of something to tell her."



"Good, I don't think I'll eat anything then!" said gohan.



"You were going to eat something? Now gohan, you know sometimes eating before bed gives you nightmares." said goku.



"Yeah but I thought since I wasn't doing that and everyone thought I was. I thought if I eat for real and maybe it will reverse the process!" said gohan smiling scratching his head.



"Just take the nap gohan and eat later!" said goku rolling his eyes.



Later on gohan was finally sleeping. Goku sat there and watched his son sleep it had been an hour and nothing happen yet. Goku thought about what gohan was telling him earlier and from what he saw he look like he was sleeping well.



As gohan was laying in bed he started dreaming again.

Gohan had got away from omnimus and was running down the hall again he ran around the corner and stopped for a moment cause he was out of breath.

Looking down at his clothes the blood had dried and his wound had stop bleeding but it still hurt, but it was trying to heal.

"I got to get out of here and this time I'm going through a window!" Gohan ran to one of the exits that was chained up and their was a window next to it gohan jumped and crash through the window not caring if he got cut by glass as long as he got out is all that matter.

Gohan ran out on the school lawn and decided to fly, but was wondering if he had the strength to do it he tried anyway and managed to fly. "Well at least I can fly since I can't use my power! But that's strange I can fly but I can't shoot blast maybe I haven't lost all my power!"

Gohan landed at his house and went in and Athena was sitting at the kitchen counter waiting for him.



Gohan walked in tired with his clothes bloody and torn. "Gohan!? Where have you been?! I've been waiting for you, and what happen to you? Your clothes are soak in blood and you look like you've been fighting! Have you been out training with your dad and left me waiting!"



Hugging her. "Athena you don't realize how I'm so happy to see you! Listen your dad is trying to kill me and this is why I look like this!"



Touching his face looking at him. "Gohan, listen to me your hurt and you need to take a shower and change your clothes and relax, my father is not here he's in prison!"



"But Athena your father came up to my job and he tried to KILL me!"



"Gohan I know you've been working hard and sometimes you train with your dad but stop BLAMING my FATHER for THIS! So please go take a shower so we can spend some time together!"



Gohan couldn't believe what he was hearing also it seem like Athena wasn't acting her self she seemed strange and uncaring. But as usual he breath out a sigh and just went along with it cause he didn't want to upset Athena anymore. "Ok Athena your right I have been working too hard and I need to go take a shower and relax!"



Athena walked up to him and kissed him. "That's right gohan please go clean up yourself and I'll help you clean up your scars when you get done taking a shower!"



Gohan went and took a shower and when he was done he went in his room and sat on the bed dressed in gray sweats and a black t-shirt. Athena walked in bringing bandages and other stuff to clean his wound with. "Ok gohan lay down so I can clean your wounds!"



Gohan scoop Athena in his arms. "Don't I get a kiss I'm clean and I don't smell like I've been fighting!" Athena was smiling at him. "Ok, gohan."

Without waiting he started kissing his wife romantically and then Athena stopped and smiled at him. "Ok gohan can we wrap that wound before it gets infected?"



"How about if we just skip wrapping the wound and you wrap your arms around me some more!" Athena started giggling. "I'll wrap my arms around if you let me take care of you first!" said Athena smiling.



"Ok!" said gohan smiling and laying down on his back and then out of nowhere goku came in the room. Gohan didn't see where he came from. "Hi son! Sorry about the intrusion but I just wanted to stop by!"



Gohan looked at goku strange. "Yeah dad I'm alone with my wife! So could we have some privacy?!"



"Sorry son!" said goku and his smile turning evil. Out of nowhere hand locks came out of the bed and grabbed gohans wrist real fast they were solid metal very hard for a saiyan to break. Athena's smile turned evil as well.



"HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?!! ATHENA? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!" shouted gohan struggling to break free.



"What I should of DONE long time ago!!" She took out a pair of sharp scissors real fast and started stabbing gohan in his wound repeatedly and laughing and goku was laughing also in the back looking at him with blood going all over the bed.

End of dream.



Gohan woke up yelling and grabbing his stomach. Goku saw blood on his shirt and tried to calm him down. "GOHAN, GOHAN WAKE UP!!" Gohan hit goku and got out of bed and formed a ki blast in his hand and Athena walked in and goku got off the floor and gohan threw it and she screamed and got on the floor and goku caught it and canceled it. Athena got off the floor frighten and looked at gohan and goku wondering what's going on and gohan hadn't quite snapped out of his dream yet.



"STAY AWAY FROM ME!!" shouted gohan looking at both of them.

"GOHAN SNAP OUT OF IT!!" shouted goku.



Gohan was forming another ki blast and goku quickly appeared in front of gohan and pushed him on the floor canceling the ki blast again and jumping on top of him. Goku was shaking gohan to snap out of it. Athena was starring at her husband wondering what was wrong with him.



"DAD DON'T HURT ME!" said gohan coming out of it but still not realizing what was going on.

"Goku stop before you hurt gohan!" said Athena who was scared cause she thought they were fighting. Goku stopped and got off gohan breathing heavy. Gohan was exhausted from the dream and from struggling with goku.



"GOKU? WHAT is going ON!" said Athena getting upset. Gohan was laying on the floor with his hands on his face exhausted and breathing a little heavy. "Please guys don't kill me! I didn't do anything wrong!" said gohan.



"Gohan were not going to do anything to you! Come on gohan let us help you up?" said goku coming next to him putting his hand out.



Gohan sat up sliding away across the floor breathing heavy and still upset from the dream. "NO! Please, guys just don't come near me right now!"



Athena stood, looking shock and scared. "P-Please goku what's going on? Was there a fight between you two or what is happening to my husband?"



Athena started to cry. Goku sat Athena down in the chair calming her down. "Athena, gohan just had another nightmare and this one was real bad! So the best thing we can do is be calm right now and find out what kind of dream gohan had. Now just take a deep breath and let's talk to him!"

Turning around to gohan who was on the floor on the other side of the room grabbing his wound cause he was in pain. "Gohan please talk to us this is not a dream your in, were REAL!" said goku who wanted gohan to trust him.



"Please dad I don't want anyone to touch me right now! I just had the most horrific nightmare where Athena tried to kill me and you were their laughing at what she was doing." "What! Gohan, I wouldn't do any such thing!" said Athena worried. "Gohan I'm your father I wouldn't dare try to harm you let alone think it was funny!" said goku. Gohan got up off the floor slowly and sat on his bed.



"Please gohan I want to sit next to you I'm not going to hurt you!" said Athena assuring gohan as well. Gohan looked at Athena and with his hair messy. Sighs. "I guess it's ok. You can sit next to me!" said gohan still not for sure if Athena and goku could be trusted.



Athena sat down and gohan was a little bit frighten. She touched his face and he couldn't help but jerk a little she touched his hair looking at him. "It's ok gohan I'm not going to hurt you! Please honey what's going on with you? What did you dream?"

Gohan took a deep breath cause he was in a lot pain.



"Gohan why don't you lay down I can tell your in a lot of pain and it's not going to do you any good trying to fight it if you don't relax!" said Athena looking at him worried and concerned. "Athena I don't want to lay down right now! I just can't believed what I dreamed!" said gohan looking real stressed.

"Gohan could you please tell us what happened? I know it's pretty hard right now but I want to know what happened?!" said goku worried.



Gohan looked stressed telling the dream to Athena and goku they couldn't believe what they heard.



Athena was blown away at what she heard. "Your joking! I stabbed you with a pair of scissors repeatedly!! Gohan me and your dad wouldn't DO no such THING!" "Yeah son I'm glad it was only just a dream!"



Gohan grabbed his hair. "You know? I don't know what to say I think I'm losing my MIND! Every time I go to sleep I'm having nightmares that are feeling like their real!"



Goku came and sat next to gohan comforting him. "Gohan your not losing your mind I think maybe that microchip is causing you a lot of problems!"



"Or someone has a remote but from what I know no one else does, and I did check that necklace that I used to control you, it's disassembled. Gohan I think you need to lay down and relax that dream is over! No one is going to hurt you!"



"Athena to be honest with you I'm afraid to go to sleep! I don't want another nightmare and then when I wake up I might hurt one of you guys for real!"



"But gohan?!"



"No Athena!"



"Gohan Athena's right you need to relax, your a wreck! Even if you lay down then just keep your eyes open! Son only thing I can just suggest for you is seeing a therapist for these nightmares. You can't keep going on like this and your mom is asking me about why you haven't came by the house?! Son, maybe I should cancel my vacation with your mom until you feel better." said goku worried.



"Dad don't cancel your vacation cause of me I don't want mom to get suspicious! Don't worry about me I'll be fine! I'm just going to go back to work tomorrow and try not worry about this!"



"Gohan you just can't pretend this is not happening! Maybe you need to see a doctor like your dad said."

"Athena I don't know about seeing a therapist I didn't think this would lead to seeing a therapist! Maybe you and Arden need to stay away from me for a while cause I don't want to hurt you guys!"



"Gohan I don't want you to stay away we can work through this together not separate isn't that what we learned in marriage counseling?!"



"She's right gohan your not alone in this!" said goku agreeing. Sighs. "Ok you are right. I'm tired guys I guess I'll lay down for a while." said gohan frustrated and tired.

"Not yet gohan until you change your shirt and I believe we need to take care of that wound, and before you think anything, I won't use a pair of scissors!"



Gohan changed his shirt and layed down while Athena took care of his bruises. Gohan tried not to go to sleep but he did anyway. Goku left worried about his son and Athena stayed the night and watched gohan while he slept and went to sleep later.

The next day gohan got up and showered and got dressed. Athena got up also with him. "Are you sure your up to going to work?"



"Athena I don't need to stay home! What am I going to do all day?"



"Well, you could rest!"

"Rest?! I can't even get a good night sleep without dreaming of someone TRYING TO KILL ME!"



"Gohan I'm only looking out for you!"



Gohan hugged and looked at her. "Listen to me I'm sorry if I sound aggravated and angry but understand something it's frustrating not being able to hardly sleep! But going to work will get my mind off these nightmares!"



With her arms around his waist. "Gohan I'm worried about you! I just want you to be ok!"

"I'll be ok I just want to get back to work."

"Does your bruise feel better?"



"It still hurts but I'll be ok."



"Are you sure your up to working?"



"Don't worry Athena if I get really sick I'll come home." "Ok I'm going back to zeon and I'll call you later!" They both kissed each other and left the house.

****************

Later that day at capsule corp. "Goten, what happen to you the other day I thought you were coming over to orange star high to have lunch with me?" said trunks.

"I was outside having lunch with Gina I thought I told you I was going to have lunch with her?" said goten.

"I don't know, maybe I forgot! You guys sure do spend a lot of time together?"

"Well I can't do it after school cause you know my mom and how she is?" said goten.

"You know how who is?" said bra walking in.



"Why don't you leave us alone you nosy little brat! Always in my business!" said trunks.

"I'm telling mom your being mean to me!"

"You better tell mom that you were ease dropping also!" said trunks. Bra left the room to tell bulma. "Wow trunks you really let her have it!"

"She's always nosy and telling mom everything that's why we can't talk around her cause she blabs about everything!"



Bra went in the game room where bulma was trying to fix one of their video games. "Mom! Trunks is being mean to me!" "What were you doing?" said bulma.

"I just walked in and asked him about who they were talking about and trunks gets mad!" "Bra you shouldn't be asking questions about what your brother was talking about if you wasn't in their conversation to begin with."



"Ok mom. But he called me a brat!" "Well I'll talk to your brother about name calling and in the mean time stop pestering your brother!" "I wish sometimes I had a friend to come over." said bra looking bored.

**************

The next day in the morning goku and chichi were going to leave and take their vacation. "Ok you guys keep an eye on the house and remember goten to listen to your brother while were gone!" said chichi.



Goten rolled his eyes wishing his parents would just let him stay by himself. "I'll make sure I keep an eye on him." said gohan. "Remember guys if theirs an emergency I left the number of the hotel where were at and remember gohan take care of goten and yourself!" said goku winking at him.



"Yeah dad I will." said gohan. Goku and chichi got in their car and left. Gohan went back to his house with goten and took his bag of clothes with him. "I better be going to school before it gets late!" said goten. "Yeah I got to get to work I'll see you later!" said gohan. They both departed ways.

********************

Athena was sitting at the kitchen table poking at her breakfast and eating some of her food and Trina walked in. "Good morning dear! You look sort of tired?"

"Yeah I am I was up last night and I couldn't sleep."



"Something on your mind or are you ok?"



"I'm feeling fine mom it's just.... I'm worried about gohan!"



"Is he still having nightmares?" "Well yeah, I didn't tell you this yesterday but gohan did have another nightmare and this time he said I tried to kill him!"



"That's crazy!"



"I know mom but just wait until I tell you what he dreamed!" Athena explained to her mom what gohan dreamed and what happen after he woke up.



"WHAT! Is he ok? Are you ok?"



"Mom I'm fine gohan is feeling better he was just shaken up by what happen! Mom, I just don't understand WHY is he having these nightmares? He's not eating late."



"I don't know what to say, Athena. But your going to have to help him get through this and I'll do whatever I can too also! Maybe a counselor is what he needs as well!" said Trina.

"That's what his dad said and gohan didn't really want to do that! So he's working cause he doesn't want to take any time off from work, he said it will get his mind off of his nightmares."



"Well maybe that will help! Are you going to see him tonight?" said Trina. "Well yeah I want to see if he's ok and how's work coming. Mom I wish he come and live up here and not have to work it's not like we need money."



"Athena I think the reason why gohan likes to work is because he enjoys what he does. If he came up here I don't think he will be able to work cause he's a prince and he would be in charge of his royal duties and for some reason I don't think gohan wants to be a prince! Remember Athena we made him to be a prince he wasn't asked!"

Athena looked at her mother and then Arden came in and sat down to eat breakfast with his mother.

******************

Later that afternoon at gohans house loud music was playing and and goten and Gina had their lips locked together. "Mmm goten you are such a good kisser!"



"Hey I learned from watching my parent's!" "Your parents make out in front of you?" said Gina wrapped in gotens arms.

"Well I walked in on them a lot of times kissing!" "So this is your brothers pad?"



"Yeah this is his place." said goten. "Real sweet and kool! So your house is down the road?"



"Yeah just a few minutes away and my parents are on vacation!"



"So where's your brother?" "He's at work he said he'll be home late so that gives us some time to make out before he get's here and this is the only time I could do it anyway cause if my mom caught you here I won't see you any more!"

"Your mom don't like you dating?" said Gina. "Well she doesn't mind she just wants it to be at a later age I think?"

"Don't you know?"



"Yes and no! My mother likes for me to study right now and not focus on dating! She thinks I'm going to follow in my brother footsteps I'm not gohan and I don't want to be some crazy college professor and wear glasses like some moron!"



"In other words your brother is a geek right!" said Gina looking at goten. "You could say that! He's real smart but sometimes he can be a geek!"



While Gina and goten were on the couch making out. Gohan went to his parent's house to check for mail and other stuff. He walked in and put the mail on the table and checks the answer machine for messages and there was one.



The message said: Mr and Mrs son I'm gotens teacher and I'm calling cause goten hasn't been to class in the last three days and I wanted to know if he was sick and if he is could you pick up his homework! Thank you!

End of message.



"I don't remember goten missing class and he hasn't been sick! If goten is skipping class he's butt is mine!" said gohan.

************

"Ok omnimus we got five days before the showdown with you taking your revenge!" "Good, are you done playing with his mind?!" said omnimus. "Not really it was a lot of fun changing the wires around to cause nightmares! I'm pretty sure he's not sleeping well?!" said adieus laughing.

"Well that remote is limited so when I get a hold of him he'll wish it was a dream!" said omnimus laughing and his brother adieus laughed also.
