Trunks' P.O.V
We entered the shop and I sat at the counter on a chair, while the auburn haired lady left for a minute and came back with a glass of water. She took a clear vial with a rose coloured liquid from one of the shelves. That's when I noticed the shop was filled with different coloured vials containing different colour liquids. I turned around full 360. Besides vials lining the shop's shelves there were also necklaces, rings and charms. "What exactly do you sell" I asked curious.
"I'll explain later. First drink up" she said handing me the water "it will help you calm down"
I drank the water and it tasted sweet. I calmed down immediately "Now, take off that ring and tell me what's bothering you"
I took the ring off and placed it on the counter. I looked at the ring confused. Why did I do that? I didn't even ask why I just took it off. The same with the water, I knew she put something in there but I didn't ask what. It's like I can't help but do what she says.
"By the expression on your face, you wondering why you doing everything I'm telling you to do" I nodded. "It's simple. I'm a witch" she smiled as if that was the most normal thing in the world.
"A witch?" I asked stunned.
"Yes. I sell potions and charms" she said "now that we got that sorted out, tell me what's wrong"
I didn't feel that pull to do what she said as I did before, but there was something about her that I trusted. "I don't know what's wrong with me. I've been getting really angry lately. I even hurt someone who I really care about" I said fighting back the tears from just the thought of Goten and what I did to him. She looked at me, understanding in her green eyes and smiled. "I can help you," she said "but first take this" She handed me a charm. It was a green heart with different shades of green from emerald to jade. "It's called Malachite. It is also known as the mirror of the soul and it has healing properties. I have a feeling you will need it"
"Thank you" I said taking the heart. It was cool to the touch. "At the beginning you said you can help me. Can you, really?" I asked with hope in my voice.
"Yes. Let me tell you a story" she said taking the seat next to me "there was once a witch who fell deeply in love with a dashing man, but he only had eyes for one woman. This made the witch very angry. The man and the woman soon got married, so the witch decided to take revenge on the man for loving someone that wasn't her. She created a necklace that was almost identical to the one the man gave to his fiancé and gave it to the man as a peace offering. The man was naive and accepted the necklace. That night he and his fiancé had a fight and the man got so angry he hurt her to almost the point of death. He left disgusted with himself and never returned. He left a letter saying he didn't know what came over him and he was sorry. He wanted to be with her, but could not take the risk of hurting her again. His fiancé understood this and even though what happened, still loved him deeply. She committed suicide, because she couldn't live without him. This made the witch very happy. She searched for the man so she could tell me his fiancé is dead. She found him in front of a tree, his neck slit. He heard of his fiancés suicide and couldn't handle the guilt and ended his life. Before he died though, he confided everything to a witch. A good one. The god witch vowed she would do everything in her power to prevent anything like this to happen again to anyone. So the good witch stole the necklace." she said tears running down her face.
"I don't understand what that has to do with me" I said sniffing, tears streaking my on face.
"The wearer of the witches' necklace, which in this case was the man, anger is multiplied tenfold. The woman got the worst of his anger, because the witch made the necklace in her necklaces' image. The ring also has the power to morph into anything" I looked at the ring and back at her.
"That ring" I pointed to the counter "it's the witches isn't it? It's identical to Goten's"
"Yes it is. Is Goten the one you hurt?" he asked.
"Yeah it was" more tears rolled down my face "I hurt him" I dropped my face in shame.
"You really love him. I can see that and I'm so sorry"
"But wait I got this ring from. . ."
"Kim" she interrupted "I'm the one that sold the ring to her. I was the good witch who stole it from the evil one"
"But you vowed to do everything in your power to make sure it would never happen again, so why did you give it to her? Did she know of its power?" I asked angrily.
"Yes. She knew of its power, but. . ." I didn't let her finish the sentence. I stormed out of the shop with one intention. Kim while pay.
Goten's P.O.V
"Here you go" said Paris as she handed me the release papers "I'll go call Keanu. He said he wanted to see you off"
"No. Don't" I said a little too quickly.
"But why?" she asked confused. I handed her the release papers and grabbed my backpack. "Would you give this to Keanu?" I asked handing her a letter.
"Sure" she said. I walked out the door of the room with Paris shortly behind me. I notice a newspaper. I could use it to look for a place to stay. I turned around. "Can I have that newspaper?"
"Yeah, take it. It's going to be boring without you here" she said laughing.
I laughed. "I'm going to miss you too" I waved walking as the doors opened automatically. I breathed in the chilly mid-evening air. I didn't notice the dark clouds in the sky. There was a bench nearby. I walked towards it and sat down. I opened the newspaper looking for a place I could rent. I soon found one to my liking and it was quite close, so there was no need to fly but far enough to give me some time to think. I got up and started walking to my new soon-to-be apartment looking around. There were lots of people waiting at the bus stop eager to get to their families. I miss everyone.
The street in front of me was empty. I wonder what's Trunks up to now, probably on a date with some girl. Suddenly a bright light hit a tree and a fire blazed into life. I ran looking for shelter, knowing lightning is very dangerous. There was another flash almost directly in front of me, but I averted it. I ran faster. Suddenly my body erupted with white hot pain. It felt as if there were millions of hot needles piercing my skin. The last thing I heard was someone shouting something before nothingness.
The ambulance pulled in sirens wailing. The doors opened. "White male, strike my lightning, unconscious" said the paramedic pulling the stretcher out of the ambulance. "This way" said Paris as she led them to a room. She turned around and gasped. "What?" asked the paramedic.
"I know this man. There's a room straight down the corridor. I have to page doctor Keanu"
Goten's eyes opened looking around him. "You just can't stay away from me can you" said a smiling Keanu. Keanu noticed the confusion on Goten's face. "You were hit by lightning, it stopped your heart for a while but we got it going again. I got your letter. You could have said goodbye personally though"
"I'm sorry?" Goten asked with confusion still on his face.
"Is something wrong Goten?" he asked concerned.
"I'm sorry, I don't know you"
"Goten it's me. Keanu" Keanu said panicky "don't you remember me?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't" Goten said
"It seems as if you have amnesia" he said walking to the end of Goten's bed and picking up the file, writing something down. When he was done he turned towards Goten. "Tell me what you remember"
Trunks' P.O.V
"Trunks, what are you doing!" screamed Kim as I pointed a ki ball at her.
"I know everything. About the ring and about your plan" I said
"Trunks, please" she begged.
"I worked out your plan. You knew that I started developing feelings for Goten and that if he told me I would feel conflicted. Confused at what to do and angry with myself for having feelings for Goten. You were counting on me getting angry. You knew about the witch's necklace and its power, but why?"
"It's because I love you Trunks and deep down I know you love me too" she said.
"No!" I shouted "I don't love you, because of you" I said tears filling my eyes "because of you . . . I lost the one I love"
"No!" she screamed back "you love me! You love me!"
"I love Goten!" I said finally admitting it to myself "the sooner you realize that the better"
"No, this will not happen to me again!" she screamed angrily.
"Again?" I asked stunned at her anger.
She smiled. "Yes again. The necklace was mine because I made it. The witch that owns that shop Dark Mage stole it from me. She's weak and I took it from her easily. If I can't have you then you can't have Goten" she laughed evilly "I will destroy him" I through the ki ball at her, but she disappeared.
I was lying in bed looking up at my ceiling. I came home immediately after the witch incident and told my mom everything. She wasn't surprised that I love Goten. She actually knew already which shocked me. We spent almost two days non-stop trying to find Goten before my mom told me to go to bed. I was reluctant at first, but then my mom persuaded me by saying we would be better help to Goten rested. Goten just be safe. Please. I'll be by your side soon. I love you.
Goten's P.O.V
"Goten I know you've only known me for three days now, but I like you. I want you to stay with me and maybe we can get to know each other better and I can help you to get your memory back," practised Keanu as he thought Goten was sleeping. Keanu likes me. I like him to. I can remember common knowledge, but not faces or people. Keanu also said I knew him before the accident and I believe him. He also said that I shouted a man's name out once when I was having a nightmare. Trunks. There's something about that name, but I don't know what. It's like my brain knows something, but it won't tell me. Keanu's a great guy. I like him and I need a place to stay and he says he will help me get my memory back. It's settled. I turned around to where Keanu was sitting "I would really like that" I grinned.
"Goten," Keanu said surprised "I thought you were sleeping. How much of that did you hear?" he asked nervously.
"All of it," I laughed. His so adorable when his nervous. "I could use a place to stay and I like you too"
"You do?" he said excitedly, suddenly he changed posture "yeah I knew you liked me," he said cockily waving his hand through his dark brown hair. I looked at him dumbfounded. Suddenly he started laughing "you . . . should have . . . seen . . . your face" he said between laughs.
"That was not funny" I said pouting which only made him laugh even more. I turned away from him.
"Oh come on Goten it was only a joke. I'm sorry" he said playfully copying my pout.
"I'm still mad at you and there's nothing you can say that will change my mind" I said acting angry. He climbed onto my bed and kissed me on my cheek "I'll give you an extra pudding cup" he said.
I turned around instantly. "You've got a deal" I said grinning.
"It's true what they say, a man's heart is through his stomach," Keanu laughed. My stomach rumbled as if protesting.
"I guess it is true" I said earning another protest from my stomach. We both broke out laughing.
"I'll be right back with your breakfast and the release papers I need you to sign" he said walking towards the door. I smiled. He has a great sense of humour. "Keanu?" I called.
"Uh huh" his answers turning around. I look into his eyes.
"Hurry back" I pleaded.
"Nothing will keep me away" he answers smiling. He disappears out the door. There's something about Keanu's eyes. Every time I look into them I get pulled in deeper. I smiled.
