Chp 2 Pan Universe 10

Pan gasped and shivered as she awoke nude and covered in blood and pond scum. She was in a little house that reminded her of an old apothecary. Oh gross! What the hell!

She blinked and made her way to a small cleaning tub filled with hot water. Not caring for who's it was she jumped in and scrubbed the rusty stuff off her. She nearly hurled as the water turned a deep maroon. Just how many people did the bitch kill for whatever she did? I refuse to think it could be me! I wouldn't do such a thing! Ever!

Footsteps approached and a woman with silver hair in three braids and wearing one of those dresses from the mid eighteen hundreds came over to her. "O you be awake child? I thought you were a goner when I found you naked in that cold lake covered in magpie blood as you were. I kept the tub on in case you magically awoke. My instincts were spot on as usual," she said coming over and sitting by the tub. Pan scooted slightly back. Unknown place, unknown woman, unknown situation. What the fuck can I do? Now I know why they say don't trust strangers!

"Um is there anything I can wear?" she asked starting with that. She needed clothes first of all. She glanced at herself and noticed she was well developed for being fifteen. Was she even fifteen anymore? How old am I especially if I'm supposed to wed?

The woman brought her a petticoat and a dress fit for a queen out. It was gossamer and white.

Pan groaned. "A dress? What year is this?"

"776," said the woman.

"That's my year! Where are the cars or showers? Or…." she glanced at the confused woman and sighed grabbing the dress. "Never mind. Whatever must have addled my mind," she said putting the dress on.

The woman chuckled. Mayhap it did. The ties go in the back dear."

"How in heck do you close it then?" Pan muttered rotating the white gossamer dress and noticing how low the scoop neckline went. She was showing her girls to everyone! She hauled the dress up and the woman yanked it down and finished tying it.

Pan blushed as she was accommodated into the dress so she didn't fall out. Still she showed way too much. "Um do you have bandages or something I can wrap around my breasts?"

"Don't ye want to look beautiful You have beautiful skin and hair. I'm sure you be nobility with that skin. You remind me of the princess. Would you happen to know the sweet girl?"

"Sweet? Hah!" muttered Pan as she remembered her doppelganger's nasty trick and worried what she might be up to in her body. Please by the love of Dende do not seduce anyone! I'd die of shame.

"Oh yes, her majesty is supposed to wed that awful merchant today," said the woman a sad look on her face.

Pan sighed. "Good thing she isn't there," she said gaining an odd look from the woman.

She smiled and asked for some shoes which looked a lot like moccasins to her. Putting them on she started for the door when it was thrust open and the figure of a well-dressed

noble man grabbed her and pulled her out to daylight.

"Princess Pan you are expected in the palace," he said then turned to the woman who bowed and smiled when she received a bag of silver coins. Pan felt betrayal as the woman jingled the coins and she was manhandled onto a coach. Her first lesson about this life had been learned cruelly.

I can't trust anybody here, can I?

The coach started on its way to the castle she imagined.

Pan sighed as countless maids did and redid her hair until finally a veil was stuck on and lowered. She had come to find that fifteen-year-old children were wed in this time especially the girls and unfortunately she was a princess which meant nothing more than a title holder in this place. She was being given to the fattest merchant there was. Is this how my life is going to go? Married at fifteen to a fat merchant with no say cause I'm a woman?

"Fuck no," she muttered getting up and ripping off her vale gaining massive opposition from the maids. She turned to her closet and took out some riding pants before shoving them on under her dress and yanking the petticoat off. Next she ripped slits in the dress that caused her maids to panic and finally she tore the gossamer strands and used them to bind her chest. She messed her hair until it was wild and free then she bound it in a braid tying it with her vale which she had ripped to pieces with her teeth and nails to have more chest binding. She opened the doors to her room and set off walking down the halls and ridding a knight of his sword. Trunks had taught her a few things and she wasn't bad. Wasn't this body supposed to be her? I am one fourth saiyan so where is my ki?

She searched within herself and found that this self was as powerful as herself. That is getting really annoying. This is me for better or worse.

She touched her ki and immediately felt the burning fire she normally felt. It was as if this self used her ki and knew things. Then why did she stay in such a terrible position? Why didn't she fight? Especially if this isn't even her home?

Memories of her father and mother came. Memories of a different place and time and her capture and isolation and curse which she finally managed to escape.

"Ahh! Princess! What have you done to your dress?" cried a blonde woman with tons of make up on. Pan ignored her and kept going using her memories of the place to get to the king's room. She took the stairs one by one as a proper princess at first before growling and using her ki to zoom up all one thousand steps, approaching the king's room. She pulled the steel doors apart easily and shocked the king who was feasting with her fiancé the fat merchant.

She smirked. "Oh, both of you are here? Lovely. Here's how it's going to be. I ain't marrying you," she pointed her sword to the fat merchant and then eyed the king. "And I'm through playing the wilting violet for you. I remembered who I was. I belong with them not you. Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way.

"Guards!"

She sighed. "I guess its the hard way then," she said as she threw a ki blast at a guard flipping him down the stairs. She started floating off the ground and eyed the wall behind her. Leveling her arm she shot a bigger ki blast at it and flew into the courtyard and beyond. She was free of that place, now she had to find a way onto Vegita sei and hope someone could help her reverse what her doppelganger had done to her. Although I wouldn't mind keeping the body.
