Love for an Angel: Chapter 3
x-x-x-x
Instantly, Darius walked into the room and shut the door.
"M' lady. As I said before… I have a gift for you."
Pan looked at him confused. "What is it?"
With swift movements, Darius grab her wrists with one hand and pinned her to the door. Pressing his body closer, he stared into Pan's eyes with lust. Pan's eyes widened in surprise.
"This is going to be the gift…" Darius whispered huskily. His face inched closer to hers. "I've longed for you, m' lady."
Finally, his lips met hers. He kissed her gently at first, but then rougher. Pan tried to shove him away, but he was stronger than her. It was useless to fight against him. Slowly, she felt his tongue outline her lips before it started pushing against her lips. Pan was scared. Scared of what he might do to her.
'Please God. Please let someone rescue me.'
With little effort, Darius invaded her mouth. He caressed her tongue as his hands slide down her sides to rest on her waist. Pan kept on struggling. She can't let this happen!
"Pan…" Darius said between kisses. "You're so beautiful."
Pan wanted to scream. But she was too scared to. 'Trunks… Please… Help me.'
Picking her up, Darius carried her to her bed. Quickly, he discarded her clothing along with hers.
"Darius… Please… Let me go. Please don't do this to me."
Darius frown. "I always get what I wanted. And I want you."
Darius started to caress her body with his hands. Pan moaned softly against her will. She kept on struggling, but she was too weak now. Instantly, Darius prepared to position himself.
She gasped as she saw her door open. There stood Trunks looking at her in shock. Quietly, Pan pleaded with her eyes as tears formed. Trunks understood angrily and quickly walked up to Darius. His eyes flashed with raw anger. Quickly, he pulled Darius back and punched him in the face.
Darius fell off the bed in shock. Without hesitating, Trunks grabbed him from the shoulder and punched him in the stomach. Darius doubled over with pain. Rage was burning in Trunks. How dare he! With swift movements, Trunks began to beat Darius into pulp. Finally, Trunks uppercut him and Darius fell unconscious. Grabbing Darius' clothing, Trunks dumped them outside in the corridor and then dragged Darius out of the room. With a final movement, Trunks closed and locked the door.
"Pan… Are you okay?" Trunks asked as he headed toward her.
Pan burst into sobs. Quickly, Trunks walked over to her and sat down next to her. Pulling her onto his lap, he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer. "Shh… Pan… It's alright. He's not going to hurt you anymore. I won't let anyone harm you."
Pan snuggled into him as she clung onto his shirt still sobbing. She was scared. Trunks felt her pain. He hugged her tightly and lightly kissed her forehead.
"T-Trunks?" Pan said softly as she started to calm down.
Trunks looked down at her. "Yes Pan?"
Pan sighed softly as she drew the blankets over herself. "Can you… stay with me? Just for tonight?"
Trunks smiled warmly. "Just for you, my princess. Just for you."
"Arigatou… My prince…"
Letting out a small sigh, Pan fell asleep in his arms. Trunks looked on at Pan lovingly. He had meant every word he said. He will protect her no matter what. Even if it causes his own life…
x-x-The next morning-x-x
Trunks and Pan woke up startled by a small scream. Trunks grinned slightly. So… someone found Darius. Pan looked at him confusingly when she noticed Trunks' slight grin. Finally, it dawned to her. Darius! Trunks had dragged him out into the corridors naked, along with his clothes.
"Bitch! Don't pull too hard."
Pan looked at Trunks in horror. Darius was going to have sex right in front of her room! Soon, Trunks and Pan started to moans coming through the door.
"Shit… You're good at this, aren't you, Teresa?" Darius moaned.
Pan's eyes widened in shock. Teresa… She's that… that… innocent 15-year-old girl that takes care for the children at the day care!
"T-Trunks… What are we going to do…?"
Trunks held Pan tightly. "I guess that we have to stay here until they are done," he whispered into her ear. Pan felt a shiver run down her spine. To have him this close…
"I better dress…" Pan said softly. She started to blush as she realized the state she was in.
Trunks blushed furiously and nod. "I'll be at the balcony if you need me."
Quickly, Trunks left the room to give Pan her privacy. She picked out a pure white dress with some gold colored in a few places. Putting it on quickly and also her under garments, Pan walked out to her balcony.
"What are you looking at?" Pan asked, as she leaned upon the balcony.
Trunks averted his gaze from the scene before him to look at Pan. She was breathtaking. With the white dress, she looked like an angel. An angel sent down from heaven to save him from his cold, lonely world.
Hesitatingly, Trunks place his arm around her shoulders, drawing her closer to him. Pan tensed a bit, but then relaxed in his arms. She felt so… happy like this. His warmth was comforting and soothing. She could stay like that forever.
"Pan… I really… love you. I meant what I said about protecting you. I'll protect you no matter what. Even if it causes me my life."
Pan was surprised with Trunk's sudden confession. But she was also sad. "Trunks… I… I know that I have feelings for you, but… I need some time."
Trunks nod, understanding. "Take your time, Pan. I'll wait. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you. And you, only."
Pan blushed slightly. "Thank you… for understanding…"
Trunks smiled as he moved from her side to behind. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around Pan and pulled her close. "But before… anything happens, I want to stay like this for a while."
Pan sighed as she leaned back against his chest. She knew that she loves him. With all her heart. But… this was going way too fast. That's why she asked for some time. But then… at least she'll have this moment with him.
x-x-Later-x-x
"Pan… Should we check to see if they are still there?"
Pan nod. Grabbing him hand, they walked back into her room. Unlocking the door, Pan slowly opened it. There was no sign of Darius and Teresa anywhere. Even Darius' clothing was gone. But what was left was a small puddle of clear liquid.
With a sigh of relief, Pan stepped out into the corridor. Trunks came out too.
"Well, I better go back to my room. I'll see you later."
Pan's eyes widened. "Trunks. Can I… umm… come with you? I'm scared that Darius… might show up again…"
Trunks smiled. "I understand. Come on in."
In Trunks' room, Pan went over to the columns of books near his fireplace. Picking out a book, she flopped down on Trunks' bed and started to read. Quickly, Trunks changed behind her and when he was done, he flopped down next to her.
"What are you reading?"
Pan looked up at him. "Dragons."
Closing the book, she rested her head on Trunks' pillow. His scent was there. The strong but yet light scent of Trunks.
Pan breathed in his scent. Trunks just watched Pan as she breathed in deeply. With a small smile, he moved closer to her and planted a kiss on her forehead. Then, he began to plant kisses on her nose, her eyelashes, her cheeks, and then, her mouth.
He started it as a gentle, caressing kiss. Pan responded. When they came up for all, Pan looked sad. "Trunks… I still need time…"
Trunks looked down sadly. "I understand. I'm sorry about that… I just couldn't control myself."
Pan sat up and drew her knees to her chest. "It's alright. Don't worry about it." She stood up quickly. "I'm going to go for a walk in the garden." With a small smile, Pan left the room.
x-x-Two months later-x-x
Pan sat quietly in her room. She had planned to tell Trunks that she's ready. After all this time, she decided that it was time. And she should tell him now.
Quickly, she went to his room and knocked on the door. Slowly it opened. Trunks stood there with a robe on looking at her. Before Pan was about to speak, a girl appeared behind Trunks.
"Trunks… Come back to bed."
Pan stared at Trunks in shock. Slowly, her gaze averted toward the girl. She was naked with a blanket wrapped around her. Quickly, her gaze returned to Trunks.
"You… you lied to me…" Pan whispered.
Trunks looked at her in disgust. "You expect me to wait forever? I needed to move on Pan. I'm not going to just waste my life just waiting for you."
Pan stifled a sob. No… This couldn't be happening… This isn't like the Trunks she knew. Angrily, she raised her hand and slapped him as hard as she could.
"I've loved you Trunks. But after this… I don't think that I'll feel the same way about you again. You're not the Trunks that I know anymore. You're someone else. The Trunks I know isn't like this. He would love me and wait for me. I was going to tell you that I'm ready, Trunks. Ready for a relationship. You could've waited a bit longer. But instead you run off to sleep with another woman! I don't know you anymore, Trunks. I guess that I've never had knew you from the start."
Quickly, she ran off. Tears ran down her face and onto the ground as she ran. As the garden came into view, Pan ran faster. She ran as deep into the garden she could. She didn't want anyone to disturb her. Finally, she collapsed in front of a spring.
She stared at her reflection in the water. Her eyes were pink and puffy. Her nose was a bit pink too. But Pan didn't care. She leaned against a tree and cried her heart out. It was too painful. Her heart ached with pain as she thought about what had happened.
With shaky hands, Pan took of the locket that Trunks had given to her for Christmas. It was her most treasured gift, but… now Trunks had betrayed her.
'How could he! He had said that he loved me. I was a fool. To believe everything he said. Even this locket. It's all a fake. Everything he said was false! And I believed him! … Can he see…? I truly love him. I would die for him. I had tried everything in my will to keep him happy. But he doesn't see it at all. He doesn't know that I'm trying real hard to please him. I AM a fool. I'm so stupid to actually believe him. I should've gave myself to Darius. But Trunks… I love him so much. Why can't he see that? Why can't he open his eyes and see what I've done for him? Everything I did was by my own free will, but he doesn't comprehend it at all. He was so different. He's changed. I don't even know him anymore. He was so harsh… and he meant what he said. He would be better off if I wasn't around. I guess… I'm nothing to him but a lowly being…'
Slowly, she went near the spring. The pain was too much to bear. She wants it gone, but now… it seems that the only way to get rid of the pain was to commit suicide. Looking around her, she forced herself to smiled bitterly. At least she was going to die in a beautiful place.
With quick movements, Pan waddled into the water. Accidentally, Pan dropped the locket, but she didn't notice. It seemed that the spring was deeper than it seems. It was up to her elbows when she was way at the bottom. Slowly, she lowered her head, but not before saying, "Good bye Trunks. I love you always… Deep in my heart…"
Pan started to feel herself start to lose oxygen. Darkness was starting to envelope her. Dimly, she heard her name being called from the distance, but she didn't care. Nothing matters anymore. Nothing…
x-x-x-x
Trunks watched as Pan ran off. He felt a deep pain in his heart as he watched her leave. He knew that he was harsh to her. Quickly, he walked back into his room and put on his clothes.
"Trunks… What are you doing? Come back to bed with me…"
Trunks glared at her. "We didn't even do anything, Teresa. And for one thing. I want you OUT of my room! I have enough of you seducing me into doing something against Pan. Now OUT!"
Teresa glared back at him. "Fine I will. But you could've had me. That Pan is nothing compare to me." Grabbing her clothes, she put them on and left the room.
Once she left, Trunks locked his door and ran toward the direction Pan had ran. He tried to figure out where Pan would go, when it occurred to him. The garden! Of course! How was he so stupid?!
With renewed energy, Trunks ran as fast as his legs could carry him. He knew that Pan was around there somewhere and wouldn't want to be seen. As he ran, he ran deeper into the garden until he reached the spring. He stared in shock at the scene in front of his very own eyes.
There… There in the spring… was Pan. 'No…Pan…No… It can't be!'
"PAN!"
Quickly, he ran to the spring and waddled in as fast as he could. When he reached her, He pulled her toward the shore and laid her down. She wasn't breathing. Panicking, Trunks did the only thing that came to mind. Without hesitation, he lowered his head to hers and started to breath air into her.
Raising his head, he saw her cough up water, but didn't wake up. "Pan… Please. Wake up. I need you Pan. You're everything to me. I know I was harsh, but I was angry at Teresa. She was ripping my clothing when I woke up. I know that you might not believe it, but I wanted to tell you that we didn't do anything at all. I know you can't hear me, but I love you, Pan. You're my angel. The angel that came down from heaven to rescue me from my cold, lonely world. But… I need you Pan. I really love you. I've waited for you. I can still wait. But please Pan… Please don't leave me. I love you too much. I don't think that I can live without you." Sadly, Trunks sighed. "I'm pouring my heart out to you, but you don't even know it. Please come back to me Pan. Please…"
x-x-In Pan's Room-x-x
The maid changed Pan's clothes as Trunks stood on the balcony. When the maid was done, he walked back in and the maid left.
"Trunks… How… How could you…?"
Trunks sat down on the bed near Pan. She was dreaming. He spotted tears falling down her cheeks. Lowering his head, he kissed her tears away. Finally, he kissed her on her lips. It was a deep and passionate kiss. Trunks felt Pan respond and he ended the kiss. There was Pan, wide-awake and smiling happily.
"I heard every word you said when you rescue me, Trunks. I love you too."
Suddenly, someone burst into the room.

And it's also the ending. Just don't want to make this story real long. That'll really suck. Well, I hope you enjoyed the story!
