Whispers in the Dark

Last time:

"It's Dr. Briefs," Tien began.

"Bulma's dad, what about him?" Krillin asked.

"He is in the hospital. I got a call from Mrs. Briefs. There was an accident," Tien explained.

Bulma gasped. Was her father alright? What happened? Bulma was scared. Everyone turned to the stairs, and saw the blue-haired beauty sitting on the steps.

"Bulma," Yamcha tried to comfort.

Bulma ran up the stairs, and slammed her door shut. How could this be happening?

A/N: Some one is calling me a copy cat, and I just want to set the record straight. I came up with the idea of this story from listening to Whispers in the Dark by Skillet. If you listen to the song and read the story, you will see a similarity. I like the idea of the darkness (Vegeta) enticing Bulma. How she is lost by his seductive power. After I started to write this story, I found out someone else wrote a story similar to this one. Now I love that story (I think it is good, its on my favorites) but my story is not that one. It is mine with my own ideas. I din't steal anything from the other story. I don't like someone calling me a liar, and a copy cat! If you like my story, and your interested in a story like it, I suggest you read it, but do not discredit me!

Now hear is the update of MY story:

Chi Chi gasped. She did not realize Bulma could hear what Tien was telling them. She should have known better. Bulma is a scientist with an insatiable curiosity. Chi Chi ran upstairs.

"Bulma can I come in?" Chi Chi asked as she knocked on the heiress' door.

Chi Chi could hear loud sobs coming from inside the room. She opened the door and found Bulma sitting on the edge of her balcony in tears.

"Bulma," Chi Chi spoke in a sympathetic voice.

Bulma looked up and saw her raven-haired friend standing there. Bulma wiped away the stray tears that stained her face.

"Your mother is at the hospital. Let's go and find out what happened," Chi Chi suggested.

Bulma nodded her head. She stood up and followed Chi Chi.

"Are you alright Mom?" Bulma asked as she hugged her mother.

"I'm fine honey," Bunny replied.

Bulma turned to her father. He was lying in a hospital bed tubes coming out of different parts of his body. The sight brought tears to Bulma's eyes.

"What happened to Daddy?" Bulma asked in a weak voice.

Tien, Yamcha, Chi Chi, Krillin, 17, and 18 stood off to the side, ready in a heart beat if Bulma needed them.

"After he got the phone call about your accident, he got on a plane and headed straight home. I told him to go ahead without me, so I can take care of a few loose ends here. After your father got off the plane, he rented a hover car. He was rushing to make sure you were okay, and something made him swerve off the road and," Bunny couldn't speak anymore as she broke into sobs.

Bulma turned from her father to her mother. She sat on her knees and comforted her mother.

"If only I was with him," Bunny cried between sobs.

"There wasn't anything you could have done Mom," Bulma spoke as a few silent tears rolled down her cheek.

Tien felt so bad for his blue-haired friend. He has known her almost his whole life, and he has never seen her so broken. The closest she ever got to this was when she was eight. Tien never understood why Bulma would be upset that her imaginary friend was not with her. he used to tell her just to imagine Veggie (as she called him) to be there with her. But Bulma said she couldn't. Now it was something completely different, and there was nothing Tien could do about it.

Bulma grabbed her father's hand and held it for a while. The doctors gave her mother a seditive, and Yamcha drvoe her home. He promised to keep an eye on her until Bulma got back. Bulma was so thankful to have an understanding boyfriend like Yamcha. She didn't know what she was thinking about earlier. She doesn't even know this Vegeta guy! Yamcha has been there for her, Vegeta is just a dream. Bulma shook her head. She was feeling suffocated in this hospital room.

"17 I'm going up to the roof to get some fresh air," Bulma spoke.

17 nodded his head. He knew Bulma needed some alone time to process what just happened.

"I'll come get you if he wakes up," 17 repled.

Bulma gave her male body guard a half smile and left the room.

When Bulma got to the roof of the hospital, the sun was setting. Bulma loved watching the sun set. She sat down on the edge of the roof top. She stared at the mx colors that graced the setting sun. Bulma prayed to Kami that her father will pull through and be all right. She needed her father with her. As the sun set, and the night rose, Bulma relaxed. She loved the moon. It was a full moon tonight (and would be the next couple of nights). She closed her eyes and felt the cool night breeze throw her hair behind her face.

"Bulma," a voice called to her.

Bulma could see Vegeta in her mind. He was calling out to her again. A part of her wanted to. But then she remembered the picture of her father in the hospital bed. She chose to ignore the strange presence.

"Go away," Bulma whispered to the wind.

Her eyes were still closed and now she could see the figure more clearly. He was so gorgeous. She felt him caress her cheek. The same part of her never wanted him to leave her.

"You are mine little one," Vegeta replied.

"Bulma are you ok?" Krillin asked as he opened the door to the roof.

Bulma jerked her eyes open. The presence was gone. She was disapointed to be alone once again. She took a deep breath and turned to Krillin.

"I'm fine. Let's go back inside," Bulma suggested.

Krillin nodded his head and the two friends left the roof.

17 noticed Dr. Briefs struggle in his sleep. 'He must be dreaming,' 17 thought. 17 hoped that Dr. Briefs would wake from his nightmare soon.

~Dr. Brief's dream~

Dr. Briefs was in his crashed hover car. He was in a daze. He got out of the car and looked around. He was all alone and uninjured. Dr. Briefs sighed. Suddenly there was a gush of wind that surrounded him. He looked around. He saw a sillouhette of a man. It was the same man Bulma used t draw when she was little. Veggie, or Vegeta. Same name for the same monster. He was walking toward Dr. Briefs.

"What do you want? Stay away from me and my daughter," Dr. Briefs warned.

Vegeta smirked. He was standing in front of Dr. Briefs. He could see the cold and emptyness in those onyx eyes.

"Don't think that you faked this accident that you caused that you will be rid of me," Vegeta whispered in Dr. Briefs ear in a harsh voice.

Dr. Briefs gulped.

"I am not going anywhere anytime soon," Vegeta added.

Dr. Briefs looked at the evil Saiyan Prince with a dumbfounded expression.

"And she is mine," Vegeta winished with a cold and evil smirk.

Dr. Briefs had a look of horror on his face. This could not be happening!

~end dream~

Vegeta smirked at himself. He stood by the saurcoughagus in his temple. Things will go his way very soon. It was only a matter of time before he could take his revenge on the people of this planet. And it would be because they were betrayed by one of their own.
