Chapter 12

John felt her ankle snap and something about her change. Then, all of a sudden, her hair changed from black to blonde right in front of his eyes. Rose turned and looked at him, a look to kill on her face. As she turned to look at him, she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"That's IT! You killed my mother, almost killed me, and now I'm gonna kill you!"

John's eyes got as big as saucers and he screamed as he tried to crawl away out of fear.

"An eye for an eye, John." Rose said as she grabbed his right foot and twisted it until it broke. He screamed out in pain as it snaped. Rose grabbed his left arm and dislocated him shoulder.

"That's for all the times you've hurt me!" Rose screamed, unnoticed tears running down her cheeks. By this time, John was hoping that he would wake up from the nightmare. He never thought that she was capable of this. He hadn't ever felt pain like this before. Rose had crawled around to his left side and took his chin and moved his head to the right.

He knew exactly what Rose was going to do, and his last thought was that at least there won't be anymore pain.

"That's for killing my mother." Rose said, her hair turning black again as she heard a loud pop. She dragged herself back to her mother's body and lay across it, crying. Rose couldn't believe she was gone.

Rose laid there and cried for no telling how long. She looked over at John's body amd saw his cell phone. She crawled over to him and reached for the phone. As she did, John turned his head and looked at her.

"Thought you snapped my neck, didn't you?" he said as he grabbed her wrist with his good arm. He snapped her wrist and she screamed. How can he be alive, Rose thought through the pain. She looked at him and saw that he was trying to crawl away from her. He's still afraid of me, Rose thought. That gave her an idea. She started to laugh.

John stopped and turned to look at her. Is she insane? Why is she laughing? He continued to look at her and then she suddenly stopped. He brought his eyebrows together at the quickness it caused her to stop laughing. Before he he could do or say anything, she was beside him.

"What are you?" he asked her.

"You wouldn't understand." Rose answered.

"Try me."

"Part of me isn't even human."

"What?"

"Wanna find out?" Rose asked, a gleam in her eye.

"Heh. Sure, why not?" John asked back. She put her hand on his shoulder.

"What's this?"

"Just wait." Rose said, trying to gather energy. It only took a few minutes, but it seemed to take forever. All of a sudden, the next thing John knew, there was imense pain in his shoulder. He looked over and saw that he didn't even have a shoulder anymore. All that was there was a hole in the floor.

"Believe me now?" Rose asked with a small laugh.

"No." With that, Rose put her hand just above John's face, her palm down so he could see it. She gathered a little more energy and then blasted him again.

"Bet you do now." Rose said. She layed her head down on the floor. She laid there in pain and thought about what had happened. After about twenty mintues, Rose moved so that she could grab the now late John's cell phone. Now to do what I was planning to do, Rose thought to herself.

It took her a little while, but she finally figured out how to use the phone. She dialed her great-grandfather's number and listened to it ring. After about five rings, Chi chi answered.

"Hello? Son residence. Chi chi speaking."

"Grandma." Rose said into the phone, crying.

"Rose. Rose, honey, where are you?"

"In my summer house. He killed her."

"What!" Chi chi cried and then Rose heard the phone drop to the floor.

"Grandma?" Rose asked weakly. After about ten seconds, Rose heard the phone being picked up.

"Hello?" Goku asked. "Who is this?"

"Grandpa, John killed mom." Rose said, starting to cay harder.

"Rose, where are you?" Goku asked.

"I'm in my summer house. Please, Grandpa, help me." He heard her plead weakly.

"How do I get there, Rose?"

"Go out of the other side of town, out toward uncle Goten's. Keep going for about twenty miles. Please, help me grandpa. It hurts." Rose explained to him. Goku remembered that place from a time he was traveling.

"I'll be there as soon as I can. Just hang on, ok?" Goku said.

"I'll try." Rose said as the phone on her end went out. Goku picked up Chi chi and took her into their bedroom and made sure she was comfortable. Then he went out the door, determined to get hisgreat granddaughter.

By the time her grandfather had gotten there, Rose thought she was going to die. All she could think about washer mother. She'll never get to see me again, Rose thought. Suddenly, she heard the kitchen door be opened.

Rose was still as death when Goku walked into the living room. He thought maybe she had died on his way there. He walked over to Claudia, who he could tell was gone, her power level completely gone. He looked down at her and saw the knife that had casued her death. Her shirt was soaked and stained with blood.

"Grandpa?" Goku thought he had heard Rose call for him. He turned and looked at what he thought was Rose's body. Upon closer inspection, he could see her breathing, but it was heavy, as if she had something wrong with her lungs. He picked her up, wanting to make sure she was gotten to a hospital. He had just lost one grandchild, he didn't need to lose another. He planned to come back and make sure his granddaughter's body was taken care of. He took one last look at the lifeless body of his granddaughter and then went out the door.
