Blood Pact

Chapter Five

Vegeta stayed with Zetell at the ship as Nappa destroyed every other living creature on the planet. Honestly, she could not say she mourned for these people. They had been nothing but cruel to her. Even going as far as to throw rocks at her as a child. All because she was different.

Zetell was as tall as Vegeta, with long auburn hair and piercing green eyes. Not a typical Saiyan, and Vegeta worried that maybe she wasn't full blooded. If that were the case, she would be tossed aside.

A half-breed wasn't good enough for Lord Frieza…

"Why are you staring at me?" Zetell asked Vegeta.

"I didn't realize I was…" He replied hatefully. "It's just that you are not the typical coloring of a Saiyan. Perhaps you are a half-breed."

His words stung. "Well, I certainly wouldn't want to disappoint you…." She said hatefully trying to hold back her tears. She got up and examined the control panel.

"Don't touch anything, woman!" He yelled at her.

"I'M NOT!" She screamed back. "GOD, I HATE YOU!"

Vegeta smiled. "So?"

"So, nothing. I want off this ship." She demanded, heading for the door.

Vegeta easily restrained her. "You are not going anywhere."

"What exactly is it that this Frieza wants of me? Tell me that! I deserve to know the truth!" She screamed, unable to fight back her tears.

Vegeta eyed her angrily. "Shut up!" He told her, shaking her by the forearms. "You just do as you are told and you will be fine!" He threw her up against the wall of the ship.

Zetell screamed in pain as one of the controls slammed into her back. She lay on the floor, crying in pain.

"Such a pathetic excuse for a Saiyan. You must be a half-breed." He said turning his back on her. "You are too useless to be a full blooded Saiyan warrior."

Zetell was full of anger and rage. She raised her hand up, encompassing all the power she had. She aimed her blast directly at Vegeta's back. "I maybe pathetic, but you underestimated me, fool!" She released the blast, striking Vegeta hard.

The ship also felt the impact. The control panel began to spark fire and several of the overhead lights went out. Zetell realized too late that her blast had indeed been foolish on her part. Now the ship was going to explode.

Talia got up the next morning feeling sluggish. Sometime during the long night, she had fallen asleep.

She walked groggily to the bathroom, splashing water on her face. Looking in the mirror, she saw dark circles under her onyx eyes. She sighed.

Talia turned the water on hot, pouring lots of bubbles in her bath. She needed to relax. It would be a hard day with Raditz training her. Talia had not been allowed to train before. However, she had begged Frieza to let her try. He had reluctantly agreed, but only with Vegeta or Raditz. Since Vegeta wasn't here, she hoped his stand in would be willing. After she was done with her long bath, she changed into her Saiyan battle clothes, and twisted her hair into another long, wet braid.

Walking briskly, Talia headed to Raditz's room.

"He's still in the rejuvenation tank." A voice said as she knocked on the door. Turning, Talia saw Zarbon. "That brother of yours really put him in bad shape."

Talia frowned. "Great." She said. Turning, she began to walk back to her room.

"I could give it a go, it if you like." Zarbon said. "Anything for Vegeta's little sister." Talia cringed at the looks he was giving her.

"No thanks. Lord Frieza said only Vegeta or Raditz." She told him firmly, using that as an excuse. "Besides, I have some reading I can do."

"Whatever, Miss." Zarbon said. Talia felt his eyes on her as she walked down the hall and back into her room.

She burst into tears. Had she been this naive all along? Did she not pay attention to the looks and stares? Or had they not been there until now?……..

NO. Vegeta was right. She was in danger. She had to get away…get off this ship. She ripped her battle clothing off and tossed it across the room in anger. Suddenly, a thought dawned on her.

Her room.

Her sanctuary of peace and comfort.

How did Frieza know so much about her?

Of course……..the room. She glanced around, wondering where the cameras might be hidden. How many times had she walked around, naked, unaware.

OH GOD

She felt so nauseous; she thought for sure she would vomit. But, she tried to maintain her composure. She headed back into the bathroom, splashing more cold water on her face. Everywhere. She knew that Frieza had the cameras everywhere else, why not in her room? It made perfect sense. He knew she wasn't sick last night. She was right.

He knew!

Talia was being watched.
