Chapter Two: Unpleasant Surprises

I groaned as I woke up and I lifted my hand to my head. I touched a bump on my forehead and the pain increased a hundred times over. I also noticed a painful bump over my pelvic bone, above my butt and I had the same results as when I touched the bump on my head.
“Ow! Note to self, don’t touch the bumps,” I muttered as I looked around me and realized I was in some sort of cell. “Oh, a prison, I guess the truancy officer found out I was skipping.” I got off the cot I was on and walked over to a mirror and looked at the unnoticeable bump on my forehead.
“Well, it could’ve been worse, it could’ve bruised,” I laughed as I looked around the cell. It was pretty empty, a cot in the corner, a toilet, a mirror and sink, and a door, no windows I noticed.
“Hey, open up!” I called as I knocked on the door. I didn’t hear anything and tried again. No one came and I sighed, sitting back on the cot and pulling my hair out of a ponytail and taking the clips out. I brushed my fingers through my hair and put half of my hair in to a ponytail above the rest of my hair, clipping loose hairs on the sides of my temples. I sat down and looked around my filthy cell sighing. “I wonder where the hell I am.”
I don’t know how long I was in that cell, but it felt like forever and I was sure this was some kind of joke my sister was pulling on me (her best friend was the police chief’s daughter) after finding me unconscious from hitting the door (she once had be arrested for driving below the speed limit). I was relieved when I heard the sound of someone walking down the hall. I walked up to the door and knocked again.
“Hello? Is anyone there? I’ve had enough fun with this game!” I called and I heard someone chuckle and they banged on the door and continued down the hall. “Officer Jake if that was you, I’m going to egg your house on Halloween!” My threat didn’t seem to affect the fading footsteps and I doubted that it was Officer Jake.
“Perfect, when I get my hands on Jerica (my sister) I’m gonna kill her,” I growled as I sat down on the cot again. “Although, this is a good one.” I sat back on the cot and tried to remember what happened after I had hit the door (yeah, I forgot about the TV, but give me a break I had a concussion).
“It could be worse, there could be rats,” I said and began to sing the songs that had been featured on the DBZ movies. I had to stop after a while because my voice was getting hoarse. “I want to go home now.” I laid down on the cot and began to fall asleep.
“Wake up, Sleeping Beauty,” a voice laughed and I opened my eyes to see a very BIG and very UGLY guard.
“Whoa!” I cried as I rolled off the cot and put myself in the corner of the room. “Morning to you too.” I looked at the guard, he must have been almost 7’ tall, including his hair, which was sticking almost straight up. I glanced down and saw his hair almost touched the floor.
“Come on, you have an appointment with the King,” he laughed as he reached to grab my arm.
“That’s too bad, I have an appointment to meet with Emperor Pilaif in the afternoon,” I joked as I dodged his huge hand.
“No jokes, he doesn’t like to be kept waiting,” the guard said as he grabbed for me again. I dodged again and realized that the guy’s outfit was familiar, like something I had seen before, but I was having trouble remembering.
“Really, I thought Kings were suppose to be patient,” I said as I ducked as the guy tried to grab me again.
“This is wasting my time,” the guard growled and he moved very fast, catching my arm in his ham-sized hand and applying crushing force.
“Ah! Not so hard, I’m fond of this arm, it’s also very useful to me,” I moaned as he began to drag me out of the cell. I started walking (it hurt a lot more to let him drag me) with him. The corridor was gigantic and I noticed that the walls were covered with doors to more cells. I gulped as I realized this wasn’t the town jail, it wasn’t even the county jail.
“So, uh, where are we?” I asked as I tried to keep up with the guard. Each of his steps were like four of my own.
“We are at the palace,” he said like it was obvious. I looked at him, but he was more concerned on where we were going than on me.
“Oh, of course, why didn’t I realize that,” I muttered as we came to a door and he put his hand on a panel and the door slid up to the ceiling. “That’s a new one on me.” I watched as doors flew by and I could see in a few of them were people being tortured! I gasped as we passed one where a man was being whipped and I could feel the tears falling down my face, tears of fear and of pain for the torture victims.
“Where am I?” I whispered as I stared into some of the rooms.
“Do you truly not know where you are?” the guard asked and I was shocked he had even heard me. I nodded my head and he smirked.
“You do not know what planet you are on?” he asked and I had a bad feeling. I shook my head again.
“What do you me what planet I’m on?” I asked my fear growing as we reached a door guarded by two very tall men in similar outfits to my guard.
“Poor little thing! You must have hit your head very hard!” he laughed and we stepped out into a beautiful hallway. There was a wall made out of windows and I could see the red sky and the strange buildings. “You, little one, are on the planet Vegitasei and you are the guest of King Vegeta.” My guard unraveled his tail and wrapped it around my other wrist and I gasped. In the distance I could see seven round pods were launched into space.
“Oh my God!” I whispered as I stared at the alien sky.
Well folks, I’m back again and what a twist that was. I just want to tell you all that this is getting hairy. Next time I make a break for it and get dragged to the one character who actually scares me!!!! See you next time on Dragon Ball YWBT. ^_-
