Whispers in the Dark
Ten years later....
Bulma kissed her boyfriend on the lips.
"Thanks for taking me to work," Bulma smiled.
"No porblem babe. 17 and 18 are already taking the day off like you ordered. Krillin and Chi Chi and I will see you after work," Yamcha spoke.
Bulma waved good bye as he drove away. She entered Capsule Corp. Her secratary handed her a cup of coffe and handed over her unread messages. As vice president of Capsule Corp, she took over the company when her parents went on vacation.
"The workers of the archcialogical site 223 need you over there right away," her secratary informed her.
"I'll leave now," Bulma left the office.
Bulma arrived at the site twenty minutes later. She had never heard about this site before. Usually her father told her everything about the company, but he told her nothing of this site. She saw the foreman of the site.
"Tien!" Bulma ran over and gave him a tight hug.
Bulma had know Tien her whole entire life. His father was friends with her father. He was like the brother she never had. He even was the best friend of her boyfriend, Yamcha.
"So what was so important?" Bulma asked.
"Your father was having us restore this old temple, and we uncovered an undiscovered part," Tien answered.
Tien lead her inside the old temple. She looked around, completely awestruck by the dark beauty of the temple.
"It's so beautiful. I can't believe I've never been here before," Bulma stated.
"What are you talking about B? When your father first aquired the temple, you would visit everyday," Tien responded.
"Really?" Bulma looked lost in her own thoughts.
"Here," Tien pointed to a wall that was different from the rest of the walls of the temple.
The wall had writing on it. Bulma had never seen the symbols before. Bulma watched as Tien revealed the secret passage behind the wall. The corridor was pitch black. Tien handed Bulma a spare flashlight. The two walked side by side down the corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was an other door, with the same symbols on it. He opened the door by use of an old key. Tien motioned for Bulma to enter the room. Bulma immediatly realized the purpose of this seal room.
"It's a tomb," Bulma stated.
In the far corner of the room, a coffin was on top of a small staircase. The walls of the tomb were covered with paintings and those symbols. Bulma brushed her hand on one of the paintings. Something about this place seemed familiar; as though it was drawing her in. Tien noticed the blue haired woman's facination with this place. He wondered why her father banned her from this place.
"Listen Bulma I have got to go. I have pictures of this room that I can send you, but we got to leave," Tien spoke.
Bulma reluctantly left with her old friend.
"Can I come tomorrow?" Bulma asked when she reeched her car.
"Sure. I'll call you," Tien opened her car door for her and watched her drove away.
Bulma drove back to Capsule corp and noticed her boyfriend waiting impatiently outside. She parked her car and walked over to him. Her presence did not cease his anger.
"Where were you? I told you I would pick you up a half hour ago," Yamcha spoke with anger.
"I was at an archialogical site. I shouldn't have to explain myself to you!" Bulma yelled.
Yamcha noticed the fire in her eyes. He was afraid of that fire.
"I'm sorry babe," Yamcha lowered his head in defeat, "I love you."
Bulma lifted his chin and kissed him on the lips.
"Come on. I want to party with my friends," Bulma soflty spoke.
She got in to Yamcha's car, but she couldn't shake the feeling like she was being watched.
17 and 18 were already at her house. They were her body guards after all. 18's boyfriend Krillin was there. Along with 17's ex-girlfriend, Chi Chi. They were her closet friends.
"I saw Tien today," Bulma told her friends.
"How is the three eyed man?" 17 asked.
"Good. He showed me this undiscovered tomb today," Bulma informed her friends.
"That's cool," Krillin responded.
"It was beautiful. If you want I can take you all to see it tommorrow?" Bulma asked.
"Sounds good," Chi Chi answered.
"I'm brining in an achialogist that specializes in lost ancient cultures too," Bulma stated.
"Have you told your father about this?" 18 asked.
"I'll tell him about it when I learn more about the tomb tomorrow," Bulma replied.
18 rolled her eyes. She sensed a strange presence, but she couldn't figure out what it was. It wasn't Piccolo, but it was something dark. She ignored it for the time being and enjoyed the company of her friends and boyfriend.
The next morning, Bulma eagerly got ready for further exploration of the tomb. She took a shower and got dressed in record time. She called her friends and told them where to meet her, and to be there in thirty minutes.
Bulma got there ten minutes early. She told Tien that their friends were coming with them. He told that it alright. He hadn't been able to spend as much time with the group because of work anyways.
"Bulma!" Chi Chi yelled.
The rest of the group was behind the raven-haired woman.
"Hi guys," Bulma gave everyone hugs.
"Ms. Briefs," a older man, late thirties- early fouties wiith short brown hair and glasses with a slender figure greeted.
"You must be Professor Tomoe," Bulma shook his hand.
"Yes I am. I am very interested with your company's find," he spoke.
"Well let me show you," Tien and Bulma led the group to the tomb.
Bulma had a better chance to study the paintings. Some of the paintings had a giant ape under the full moon terrorizing cities. Other paitings had the figure of a man (Silhouette drawings) with tails. The paintings were of these people winning battles.
"This place gives me the creeps," Chi Chi shivered.
"It's beautiful what are you talking about?" Bulma responded.
"I'm with Chi Chi, this place is eerie," Yamcha replied.
"Chicken," Bulma muttered.
"Astounding," Professor Tomoe spoke aloud.
Bulma joined the professor by the sarchophagus. It was blood red and covered with the same symbols. Bulma tripped on one of the steps leading up to the sarchophagus and cut her hand on one of the rough edges of it. She put her hand on the sarchophagus, letting her blood flow on to the coffin.
"Bulma are you alright?" Tien asked.
"I'm fine, I just cut my hand," Bulma answered.
"Well come back to the trailer we have a first aid kit," Tien led Bulma away.
No one noticed Bulma's blood seep in to the sarchophagus....
