Vengence's keeper
Chapter 5
Sometimes a monster will emerge from even the purest of hearts, and today I got the chance to see my own monster in all it's full glory.
Trunks Vegeta Briefs
The wind was blowing through Trunks hair, as he soared through the midnight skies. A flash of colors blended together, indicating just how fast he was actually flying. For the most part it was a beautiful day, but because of his impending anger the beauty of the day escaped his notice. The only thing that he acknowledged was the heavy feeling of regret and hostility. His anger was on the verge of waning, and his regret was hitting him with full force over what he had done. So it was during his mid afternoon flight that he was cursing himself with anguish.
Trunks Pov
What have I done? What kind of monster have I become? Has the mere thought of Marron's death caused me to breed so much hatered towards Pan that I may have inadevertly killed her?
What's even worse was that look of fear on my mother's face. Had I been the cause of that? How could I have caused so much distrust in the one person who for years has trusted me with her very life and soul? Had I destroyed the pact between mother and son, with my actions today?
I keep rememebering how my mother would do anything and everything for me. How she would've risked her very life for my protection. I can clearly remember how she would get irate, and stand up to anyone who dared threatened her family. It brings to mind the cold and meancing glare that she would give our oppressor's, and it hurt me deeply that I was now regarded as one of those people. An enemy...a hated enemy at that.
Why is my life falling apart? Why has my life fallen apart? It seems as if everyone I trusted stabbed me in the back...even Marron. Mar died on me. My dad abandoned me. My mother is afraid of me. My sister ignores me. My best friend is wary of me, and everyone else hates me. I can't get around the fact that Pan is the cause of all of this anguish, and I blame her for everything that happened thus far.
I hate her. God only knows how much I hate her, and it makes me feel so inadequate and strange. It almost feels as if I'm a stranger now. I feel like a stranger living in a strange place. I feel so angry, but at the same time I feel pain. It's not a physical pain mind you, but rather it's a inner pain that seems to torment my very soul.
Contrary to popular belief, my pain does not end with Marron's death. I actually feel pain over my past actions and transgressions. I feel pain over everything that I've lost...like my mother's trust. I even feel saddened over losing so many precious friendships that were never meant to be broken.
BROKEN...
That's what I am now. I'm broken and there's no fixing it. Things can't go back to the way it used to be. Sure you can glue something that's been broken back together again, but it'll never be the same. Nor will I. I'll always mourn over the loss of my fiance. I will never smile or love again. Especially now...with all that has happened.
I landed on the wet grass softly, and suddenly took in my surroundings. Everything was still the same. The heavy oak tree that had the intials T.M. 4eva, encircled by a heart was still there. The beautiful multicolored rose bush was still there as well, and I couldn't help but remember how often I used to pick roses for Mar from that exact bushel. This place was clouded with memories...memories that hurt...memories that made me cry, and so I did.
I don't know how long I cried, but I was brought out of misery by the soft sounds of footsteps walking towards me. I instantly froze...hating the intrusion, but more so hating the person responsible for the intrusion. I quickly rose to my feet and turned my back to the very last person I wanted to see. I didn't want to be seen like this...weak.
"Why are you here Goten?"
"Your kai was a bit unstable. I just wanted to see if you were all right."
A harse sound of laughter broke the stillnest of the night, and Goten couldn't help but flinch at the sound of it.
"AFTER FIVE FREAKING YEARS GOTEN!!! YOU'RE CONCERED ABOUT ME AFTER FIVE YEARS. THAT'S RICH GOTEN!!" I said in a voice full of malice.
"That's not fair Trunks." Goten said in a soft whisper. "That's not fair and you know it."
"Yeah well...life's not fair so you just get over it." I said quickly.
"Is that what your're doing Trunks...getting over it? Have you gotten over the fact that Marron died?"
"AND WHOSE FAULT WAS THAT HUH? IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY IT WAS ALL YOUR NEICE'S FAULT TO BEGIN WITH."
"And that niece of mine has been paying for Marron's death ever since. When are you going to wake up man? Leave the past alone.Can't you see that you're hurting her?"
"AND WHAT ABOUT ME? WHAT ABOUT MY PAIN AND SUFFERING?"
"I know it hurts, but at some point in your life you're going to have to forgive and forget."
"You want me to forget the best thing that happened in my life, in order to forgive the one person who took it away from me?"
I suddenly heard Goten's approaching me. I froze again because of the immediate proximity between the two of us.
"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER GOTEN. I'M WARNING YOU. STAY BACK!!"
"Why are you being like this?"
"Do you want me to pretend like nothing ever happened. Erase it from my memory as if it never existed. Is that what you're telling me?"
"I'm just telling you that it's time to move on."
"MOVE ON...TO WHAT??"
"LIFE MAN...IT'S TIME THAT YOU MOVED ON WITH YOUR LIFE. YOU CAN'T SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE LIVING LIKE THIS."
"AND JUST HOW AM I LIVING...SINCE YOU SEEM TO BE THE EXPERT AND ALL."
"Well...if you keep this up, you'll be living a lonely life."
I gave a soft chuckle, because I found that comment to be rather ironic.
"I've been lonely ever since the day Marron was ripped out of my life..by your niece."
"This is not healthy Trunks. I mean look at you...you're wasting away to nothing."
"Oh like you care."
"Trunks you're my best friend..."
"I was your best friend." I cut him off.
"You still are...to me at least."
"Well doesn't that deserve an oscar." I said bitterly.
"Why are you being like this?"
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here because I care about you man, and seeing you like this has me concerned about your welfare.
"You shouldn't be worried about me Goten. As a matter of fact...maybe you should spend more time being concerned about that...neice of yours."
"I'm concerned about the both of you."
"Now why do I find that hard to believe, because if you were so concerned about Pan...you would've felt her kai decreasing only a few hours ago."
"What are you talking about?"
"Didn't you feel it. You claimed to have felt my kai, but what about your neice's kai. Wasn't it a bit...unstable as well."
Goten closed his eyes and focused on his neice's kai, and noticed that she was headed in her direction. His eyes reopened, and he once again focused on back of Trunks back.
"She's fine. She's headed this way."
A brief pause stalled the conversation, and Trunks made a move to fly away before Goten stopped him.
"TRUNKS WAIT!! What was wrong with Pan's kai. Why would there have been something wrong with it?"
"By all accounts she should be dead...especially after I sent an energy ball straight through her chest. You should've seen the size of the hole it made. It was just enough to make my day, but it seems as if my mom...I mean Bulma was able to put her in the rejuvenation tank in time. Oh well next time I have to make sure that I aim for the heart."
"YOU'RE LYING!!!"
"Am I? Think back to when you were too busy searching out my kai, to even notice Pan's . Didn't you feel Pan's kai dropping at all? Did you even bother to check her kai to see if she was all right? Some concern. Your own flesh and blood was dying right in front of me, and you didn't even notice. Maybe I should've stayed there a few more minutes longer to make sure that I succeded in my goal."
"YOU MONSTER!!!"
"You don't even know the half of it, but I promise you that Pan will pay. I'm going to kill her, so you better be prepared to fight to the death if you want to protect her.
"BEST FRIEND OR NOT...YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING MY NEICE!!!"
"I'm going to kill her, and I'm going to relish the moment when I do."
Trunks felt it before it even hit him, but the energy attack shot through Trunks left shoulder with enough force that it knocked him to the ground.
"BEST FRIEND OR NOT...I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU EVER THREATEN MY FAMILY AGAIN."
"Just like a Son to hit you when you have your back turned. Well...you better kill me now, because I have ever intention on carrying out my plans."
Trunks suddenly tuned towards Goten, and the younger demi-saiyan gasped at the sight before him, Goten stepped towards Trunks, and at the same time powering down his energy.
"Can't we just talk this through." Goten said in defeat.
"I'm through talking." Trunks said as he shot an energy attack towards Goten.
This time he made sure that his aim was on mark. This time he gave a little more power to his attack. This time he aimed for the heart.
The attack hit Goten with such a tremendous impact, that Goten literally was flung backwards until he hit the hollow of an oak tree. The tree broke in half, as Goten's broken body slumped to the ground. A thick stream of blood pooled from his mouth, as he stared up at his friend in shock. Trunks held on to his injured shoulder, and stared down at his former best friend.
"And vengence shall be mine." Trunks said as he aimed his power up fist toward Goten's face.
Suddenly a loud shout was heard from up above, and Trunks knew who it was immediatly. He didn't want to take her on in his current condition. He wanted to take her down when he was at his best, and so he powered down once again. He looked down into Goten's eyes, and with a look of malice he said:
"This ain't over yet. By the end of this week, all that you know and love will be gone. You will suffer just as I have suffered. I can promise you that." Trunks said as he raised his foot, and kicked Goten in the head, knocking him out.
He took to the skies, and flew off as fast as he could. He took one last look behind him, and saw Pan landing next to her uncle. She gathered him in her arms, and took one last look in the direction that Trunks flew off in. She spotted his disappearing figure, but couldn't make out his face. The only thing that she heard was Trunks loud voice ringing off in the distance.
"VENGENCE SHALL BE MINE PAN SON. YOU HEAR ME!!! VENGENCE SHALL BE MINE!!!!
