Me: Hola, chicos! Sorry for the long wait. There are all these hurricanes raging where my family lives (hurricane Rita-Lake Charles) and I've been kind of distracted. Plus, my great grandmother just passed away so I had to go to the funeral. And, school is killer. I know, these are just excuses.

Chapter 7 – Vegeta's History

Normal POV

Bulma gazed out the window into the vast darkness of space. She sighed. They were almost there. Another hour or so, and she'll save Vegeta from that 'master' of his. Bulma turned toward her computer. Radditz wouldn't tell Bulma all she wanted to know. All he told her was that Lord Cooler was Frieza's brother and that Vegeta used to be enslaved to Frieza as well. He refused to tell her more of his past. 'He wouldn't feel right about it.' were his words.

"Didn't know Radditz had morals . . ." Goku said.

"Oh, Goku! Don't be like that. You should talk to your brother. He's not like when we first met him. I'm sure he has a reason for acting like that. I bet you anything it was because of Frieza." Bulma argued. Goku made a pout face. Bulma rolled her eyes.

"You're such a baby!" she yelled, but with no venom in her voice. She knew Goku was trying to make her feel better. She'd been a little depressed. The only thing on her mind was Vegeta.

Goku turned to Bulma and noticed the glassy look in her eyes. He reached out his hand and placed it on hers.

"It'll be ok, Bulma. We'll be there soon. He'll be ok . . ." he trailed off.

"What?" Bulma asked, hearing the uneasiness in his voice.

"Bulma . . ." he sighed. " If he really is a slave to Lord Cooler, then . . . if we do free him . . . he will probably be mentally unstable."

"I know that." She said, her voice weak and small. "But I can help him. Goku he begged for me to come save him. I have to pull through for him."

"Bulma . . . you barely know that guy." Goku said.

"I know! I just . . ." Bulma put her head in her hands and sobbed. Goku got up in a blink of an eye and hugged her.

"I'm sorry, Bulma. I didn't mean anything by it."

"It's ok, Goku." Bulma wiped her eyes and sat up. "It's ok . . ."

Just then, the ship computer's voice came on. In a female robotic voice it said, "Approaching destination. Will land in 10 minutes."

Goku and Bulma strapped themselves in their seat and braced themselves.

Vegeta lay very still in the large king size bed. He woke up before Lord Cooler and so must keep very still. He can't wake up Lord Cooler before he wants to be woken up. He would be severely punished. He learned that from Lord Frieza.

Vegeta kept his breath even as he thought about his past life.

He was taken from his father at the age of five. He never met his mother, she died right after he was born. At first, his father blamed him for it. His father would beat him, starve him, and often got him sick. But, as he turned four, his father started showing him more kindness and love a father should have in the first place. That was for several months. Then, his father started showing a bit . . . too much love. Of course, Vegeta really didn't mind. As long as his father was giving him attention. He saw nothing wrong with what his father was doing. Then, the worse happened. He was taken from him by Frieza. His father screamed and cried for him. He could still hear his voice . . .

"No! Vegeta, give him back! He's only five. He's too young, please!"

Vegeta had to hold a cringe. Frieza let them spend one hour alone together before his father was killed.

"Vegeta, my son. I have things I must tell you." His father whispered.

"What is it, papa?"

"You know how I . . . touch you sometimes?" his father asked.

"Yes." Vegeta nodded.

"A father is not supposed to touch his son like that. It is wrong. I'm sorry, I've been lying to you. Also, I am sorry for ever hurting you. I was just upset about mama dying. I guess I was looking for . . . a replacement." His father's voice cracked and he started sobbing. Vegeta hopped on his lap and hugged him. His father placed his arms around his son and cried on his small shoulder.

(A/N: Don't you dare flame me for this father son thing! It's called a bad past. Also, Saiyans age differently than humans. Although Vegeta his five, his mind is like a 15 year old's.)

"Do you forgive me?" his father whispered.

"Yes, I never was angry with you." Vegeta whispered back.

"So you don't hate me?"

"No, papa."

Hey held each other like that for the rest of the hour until Frieza came and took his father away. Vegeta watched as Frieza slowly killed his father. At his last breath, King Vegeta fell to the floor and crawled over to his son, who was sobbing.

"My son . . . don't cry for me. I'm not . . . worth it. You have to be strong for me. You're a Prince. Can you be strong for me?"

Vegeta nodded, still crying.

"I love you, my son . . ." for the first time, his father said those three words to him. Vegeta smiled.

"I love you too, papa."

Just then, Frieza's tail shot through his father's back, killing him instantly.

"Papa! No!" Vegeta cried his heart out.

After that, Frieza took Vegeta as his slave. He was trained to take what was given to him. He was trained to become the perfect pleasure slave.

"You are a monster, Vegeta." Frieza used to tell him.

"I am?" Vegeta asked.

"It's your fault your father died. It's your fault your planet and your people are gone. You slaughter countless races, even children. You're nothing but a pleasure slave! Do you know how many men have been inside you, boy? You're a whore. You'll never be anything else."

His words cut through Vegeta sharp, and he believed Frieza. He was a monster. He was twisted and wrong. His body is tainted. He was nothing.

He remained Frieza's slave until some serious business came upon a planet called Namek. He learned later that another Saiyan named Kakkorat killed Frieza. Kakkorat is also the one who killed Radditz, Vegeta's lover. Vegeta decided that he hated this Kakkorat. Radditz was the only one he had left, and this Kakkorat took that away.

So, Lord Cooler then took him, and he'd been with him ever since. Alone and abused. His hope now rests with Bulma.

Please come for me, Bulma . . .

Me: Well, that's that chapter. Hope you liked it. I really want to finish my stories, but I have like five before I can start again on Ancient Darkness. It's gonna take forever…
