Chapter 3: Wondering

As Gohan walked down stairs he was racking his brain trying to figure out the meaning behind Videl's out burst at the end of English and why her face is purple. As Gohan reached the bottom of the stairs he heaved a huge sigh.

"What's the matter Gohan? You look troubled, is something bothering you?" asked Chi Chi as she saw Gohan heave his sigh. "Sorta. Videls got me kinda confused, and I'm really worried about her. I mean today she shows up with a black eye and says she got it fighting bank robbers, but we have a direct link up so I would of known about it, so that's not it. And when we were in English she feel asleep, and at the end of the class when no one was in there I told her she had to wake up and she let out a terrible scream and said no mom wake up! And she won't tell me what's on her mind. She keeps dodging my questions". ' Videl I hope you'll tell me soon, I hope your ok'. At this point bulma decided to input her opinion. "Well obviously she's having dreams about her mother. Are her and Hercule divorced? Maybe she misses her because she hasn't seen her. And as for the black eye, that is sort of strange that she claims she got it in a bank robbery when you both would of known about it. So where's Videl's mother?" " From what Videls told me, she died when she was about 7 maybe 8. I just don't know how she died, Videl never told me that" "Gohan, Are you planning on going back to school today? Because I honestly don't think Videl she be going back she looks terrible" Chi chi asked. " If we could stay home that would be great, I was going to ask if we could stay home because I don't have the heart to wake her up".

~*~Meanwhile Upstairs~*~

Videl's heart raced. IT was the dream again, only more vivid and clear. Only she wasn't experiencing it, she was witnessing it. Before the part where she enters she saw something tall in her room with something over its shoulder. The tall man let out a grunt closed her toy chest and ran like a bat out of hell. The she saw her 7-year-old self and discover the body of her poor mother. Then all of a sudden things changed again. She says her mother in the kitchen with a small smile on her face and she was humming a song, like she usually did which cooking.

'Where am I?' Videl asked her self as she saw her mother in the kitchen. Her eyes started to burn with unshed tears as she remembered her mother.

The house looked like it was empty, then again mom liked giving the maids time off and said they should be forced to serve someone else, and that they were all created equal. Then all of a sudden things started to look grim, Videl got a feeling in her stomach that made her want to throw up and die. All of a sudden a man leapt out of the shadows and covered her mothers mouth. She saw her mother struggling, then she bit the mans hand, he threw out a long line of swear words. As her mother tried to run upstairs the man shot her leg and she collapsed. The man then grabbed a knife and dug it deep into her poor mothers back then he said the final words " Now you die".

Videl again let out a glass-breaking scream that startled Gohan, Chi chi and Bulma. All jumped and ran upstairs to see what was the matter. The found Videl absolutely covered in sweat, it literally made her hair stick to her face and neck, and she looked ghostly pale then let out another scream.

"Videl!!!! What's the matter wake up!!! Wake up damit it! Answer me!" Gohan said as he started to get really worried.

"You bastard I can't- " she said as her eyes started to water through closed eyelids. Gohan was grabbing her arms by now trying to calm her down the she threw a punch and it landed on his jaw. 'She must be really upset, it usually doesn't hurt that much, I think it'll leave a bruise!' gohan though to himself.

"Gohan try and talk to her" Bulma suggested. " Ya! Try and get her to listen to you and calm down!" Chi chi imputed.

"Videl, listen to me! Its Gohan, your best friend I'm not going to hurt you just listen to me and calm down! Please clam down!" Gohan tried to reason with the tormented looking girl.

" I-huh? Where am I?" Videl suddenly said jumping to her feet. She was facing the wrong way and didn't notice the 3 bystanders behind her. Videl suddenly started to panic "What if he's coming after me! Mom!" She started talking to her self.

Gohan reached out and put a hand on her shoulder "Videl! Are you ok?!" Videl jumped a good 20 feet while screaming about some person and violent end. When she turned around she was met with 3 pairs of concerned eyes. "Gohan?" Videl questioned starting to remember her surroundings. "Videl are you ok? What's the matter?" Gohan question getting even more worried by the minute. "Nothing just a bad dream, no need to worry" videl replied in a not-so-convincing voice. "Videl, I've seen my share of bad dreams raising Gohan and Goten, but that was no bad dream u sounded like you were all out terrified!" Chi chi said finally speaking after seeing the whole thing take place. "Videl I agree you were screaming bloody murder care to talk about it?" Bulma asked with concern in her voice to. "I'm fine I just feel a little dizzy and light headed, and kinda cold" Videl said feeling a little sick. "Why don't you come down stairs and get something to eat and drink and relax a bit?" chi chi offered." Ok, I suppose I could" videl replied not sounding so good. " Videl I don't mean to sound rude but, you look really bad, you look like you're about to collapse! Are you feeling alright?" Gohan said noticing the very pale looking videl with a slight pink tint to her cheeks. "I feel fine don't worry" videl replied trying to sound convince but it didn't really work.

All four got up and walked down stairs when they were at the bottom they heard a funny sounding cough. They turned around and there was videl looking spaced out then all of a sudden her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she passed out.

Wanna know what happened do videl??? Please read and review!!!
