In awe he gazed at the young woman before him, her fingers held tight over the trigger of the gun.
His eyes lower to the jagged scar winding above her colar bones and over her right shoulder. Whoever had inflicted the wound had meant it to be a killing blow, but miraculously the girl survived.
"Your people destroyed my race," she growls. "Tell me why I shouldn't kill their oh so powerful king?"
Vegeta, a young man of 18 slowly raises his hands up as the barrell of the gun dug deeper into his side.
"That scar, tell me. Did one of my men do that?"
Her expression does not falter. "Ten years ago one of your soldiers came to my home, killed my parents and my brother, nearly ending my life. Luckily I escaped in one of their space pods that had been left on."
"I was only a boy then," Vegeta replies. "As were you but a child. I have just taken my father's throne as King. Whatever happened then was not under my authority."
"I still hate your race. I hate everything about you! Tell me why I shouldn't kill you huh?! WHY?!"
Vegeta smirks, "You don't have the guts."
Bulma digs the gun harder into his side.
Vegeta winces, knowing of her inhuman strength.
"Oh do I now Vegeta?," she asks in a husky voice.
"I came to you last night," Vegeta whispers.
Bulma freezes. "YOU?!"
He touches her arm, "you are indeed an extraordinary woman. For one at my age of course..."
"YOU!," she cries in outrage. "I made love to YOU?!"
Vegeta takes the gun from her trembling hands, "If you wish to kill me so bad why do you resist it? Why haven't I fallen dead to the ground by now? So, tell me one thing. Am I my father."
Bulma shakes her head.
"Did I order my soldiers to purge your planet, which only a small portion of them destroyed your home?"
"No," she sobs as memories came to her, horrid...bloody memories...
"Whoever did that to you," He replies, touching her scar with gentleness. "I..."
Bulma shakes her head, "No, I will kill them... kill them all and have my revenge and then I'll leave this God damn planet for good!"
Vegeta pulls her hard against him. "Were you adopted as a child?"
"I...I don't know," she stammers. "What kind of question is that anyway?"
"Tell me," he hisses into her ear. "Do you have a circular scar above your tail bone?"
Bulma begins to tremble.
Vegeta turns her face to meet his gaze, "You aren't human... you are saiyajin and you vow revenge on your own people!!!"
"NOOOO," she screams. "It can't be true!!!"
Vegeta nods, "how else can you explain the headaches on full moons, the urge to hunt at night...to kill... the sensitive scar... you had a tail once and so did your brother..."
Freeze frame right there.....
Yeah, I know, you obviously think that this is one of those dramas where I want to kill the young king, finding out that I slept with him and that I'm accually a saiyan. That's not the case. Things are more complicated that that... much more. But, before I tell what happens next, lets go into the past where it all began for me. My nightmare that started simply enough.... On a day that the sky was black with storm clouds, hiding the approaching danger until it was too late... To late to stop....THEM.TO BE Continued....
Who exactly is Bulma's brother and how did she get that scar? all next in chapter 2...
