What has Become of Me...
Story by: Sohma Star (Star-chan)
Pan winced as the bright daylight filtered into her eyes. She rolled over, and forced her stiff, bruised body to sit up. "What happened? Where am I?" she wondered. Glancing around she took in her surroundings. She was in a small room with stone walls, and a freezing cement floor. There was a small window with thick black bars to her right, and a heavy, rusted metal door not too far in front of her. Sliding her hands up the rough wall behind her slowly, she managed to stand on her exhausted, wobbly legs. She straightened her back, and took two unsteady steps forward. Immediately dizziness overwhelmed her, and she fell back to the floor. Memories flooded her mind in a jumbled swarm causing her head to throb painfully as it tried to sort them into order.
She remembered now... she was caught during the hunt... and tried to escape when they were checking her power level... lavender... something? no, someone... with lavender hair? no, that was impossible, all saiyans had dark hair... Pan shook her head clearing away all thoughts as the loud clank of the door lock sounded, and its rusty hinges creaked open.
A tall saiyan man stood in the doorway glaring down at her with cold unfeeling eyes. Pan tried to stand once again, only to land back on hard floor. The man sneered at her weakness, and stalked towards her. Bending over, he grabbed her small body roughly, and slung her over his shoulder. He turned abruptly, and marched back out the door, continuing down the hallway. Pan's throbbing head swam as she tried to take everything while upside down. The man's steady pace swayed her body back, and forth causing her stomach to ache and feel almost seasick. Pan was just about to lose her lunch when they reached a small, sliver colored door.
The man kicked it opened walked inside, and dumped her onto a heap of pillows in the corner. He then turned and walked over to a young woman giving her his report, "Kivi, reporting as ordered with the slave Son, Pan." The girl smiled slightly at him and moved towards Pan.
"So, you're the little one that gave us so much trouble?" She clamped a thin gold collar around Pan's neck, then adjusted the settings on her control. She turned back towards Kivi "Thank you, I have everything under control now so, you may leave." Kivi nodded in response, and walked back out the door swinging it closed as he left.
The woman brought her attention back to Pan. "My name is Korin, I'm in charge of getting you ready for auction, and since you are a special case... the collar you are wearing will only let you have a power level of ten. That makes you completely harmless to me.
"First off, lets get those wounds healed, no one likes damaged merchandise." Korin held out a tiny bean and a glass of water. Pan looked at it skeptically, but took the bean chewed it, and washed it down. Instantly her wounds healed and bruises vanished. She stood up amazed by the power such a small bean could have. Korin smiled knowingly, and lead Pan towards another room. Korin pulled back the silky fabric that hung as a door, and took Pan into the warm steamy room.
Korin called to three girls who were sitting on a bench not far from them. They quickly came over, and busied themselves with getting Pan ready for her bath. Pan examined the strange women tending to her, they definitely were not saiyans. Their bright orange hair and lack of tails told her that much, but what were they she wondered. She never got her answer, and soon she was completely disrobed, soaking in warm steamy water as the three women washed her hair, and poured scented oils over her skin. When they had washed every inch of her they lifted her out of the water, and shoved her through the next silk door, where they ran about picking out clothes for her.
They handed her a small pair of baby blue silk underwear and matching bra. Pan looked at them with distaste, but put them on figuring anything was better than being naked. They found her a long flowing blue gown with a lace up back and low cut front. The sleeves became transparent after the shoulders, and went down to cover about half of her hands. A sash of the transparent fabric was tied around her waist as a makeshift belt. They pulled her hair back into a long ponytail then curled it and pulled some pieces free to frame her face, after they applied a thin dusting of makeup she was ready for auction.
