Chapter 4: Who am I?

"Speech" `Thoughts' *Dream*

I took Trunks back to his room and put him back into his crib. I didn't leave because something told me to stay there and watch him. I sat in the rocking chair in the corner and just watched him sleep. The next day went came and went, but there was no sign of Vegeta. I heard Bulma talking over the phone about androids that were destroying cities one by one and how no one could stop them because they were too strong. I also heard her ask if Goku was okay, and then she suggested that they move him so the androids didn't get him before he got better. `I hope that this is the timeline where Goku gets the heart medicine. I'd hate to live in the other one.' I shuddered at the thought of living in the future timeline that would be horrible seeing all the Z warriors die at the hands of those bloodthirsty androids.

I hurried back to Trunks' room just to see that he was tossing about like he was having a nightmare. I picked him up and felt the darkness that was enveloping him. "Leave the child alone, it's me you want." With that Trunks stopped struggling and I quickly put him back in his crib before falling unconscious. This time I wasn't going to let the darkness hurt me anymore; I fought back and felt my lungs explode as the darkness did.

`This is getting repetitive why doesn't the darkness just kill me already?' I opened my eyes and wasn't on Trunks' floor or my room. I sat up and felt my body scream in pain; the room was far bigger than mine but it looked more like a laboratory then a room. I tried to move but I was restrained and no matter how hard I pulled on them they wouldn't budge. A few minutes later Bulma walked in holding a clipboard and looking worried.

"Bulma, what's happening? Why am I here?" I asked and she looked up in surprise.

"Sara, I got the lab reports from the hospital that you escaped from." She looked angry at me.

"But how did you know I came from the hospital?"

"I did a background check on you when you got here. It's like you just dropped out from thin air. You have no birth certificate, and your I.D that they found didn't match up with anything that we have here."

"What do you want then?" I didn't meet her gaze and stared at my feet.

"Tell me who are you and how did you get here."

"My name is Sara, but I'm from a different dimension. Where I'm from you guys are just and anime series that is one of the best in the world. I've seen every episode of Dragonball Z plus most of the movies." With that I looked her in the eyes. "I was so alone that the darkness took me and brought me here. It doesn't let me forget either; it keeps attacking me and making me look different."

"…." Bulma just stared at me like I was crazy.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I was afraid that you would take me back to the hospital or dissect me or something."

"Why in the hell would I do that? Your blood is something else altogether, it could have healed Goku instantly and prevented him from contracting the heart virus." She looked grim. "But with the way your blood is now, it can kill anything with a single drop. Your blood has become a deadly acidic poison. I know that Trunks has become very fond of you but I think that you should stay away from him."

"What am I going to do then?" I covered my eyes and heard the restraints snap. I looked up and saw that once again I had broken my restraints.

"Also you seem to becoming stronger. I can't explain it and I've run every test I can." She looked back at the clipboard. "I was thinking that you could train with Vegeta or one of the others."

"But I thought that my blood was poison, wouldn't that do more damage than good?"

"Well I've informed them of your predicament with your blood and they actually want to meet you. They are all waiting with Goku at the moment but I can take you there if you want." She tugged at a lose string on her jacket.

"Bulma, do I look different now? Have I changed again, please tell me." She had me follow her down the hall to her room.

"Take a look for yourself." She opened her closet door to reveal a full length mirror. I walked over and almost cried. I looked like a Namek; except for my silted eyes. I had claws and the pink muscles. I backed up and slumped to the floor, who am I? `What am I?' I could feel the tears falling from my face and hissing as they hit my shirt and the carpeted floor. I looked up to Bulma and she didn't seem to mind that I was ruining her carpet. As I stood she put a hand on my shoulder, "Tell me when you're ready to go, take your time I know that this is difficult." She then turned and walked out of the room.

"How can you know? You know nothing about me and you think that trying to make me feel better makes you a better person?" I whispered once I knew that she wouldn't hear me. I dried my tears and hid my pain behind a mask that I knew would someday be who I was. I couldn't stay, not like this. Before I left, I went to Trunks' room and saw that he was awake and trying to get out of his crib. I walked over and picked him up just before he fell. "You shouldn't do that you could hurt yourself." He snuggled closer to me and I knew that if I didn't end it here he would end up coming with me and I couldn't hurt Bulma or Vegeta like that. "Trunks," with that he looked at me and wrapped his tail around my arm. "I can't stay; your mother thinks that it would be best if I didn't see you anymore. So I guess that this is goodbye." I could feel the tears welling up and quickly put him back in his crib before they fell and burned through my shirt and the carpet again. He saw me crying and he started crying too. "No Trunks you have to be strong, don't cry. Please don't cry, not for me." I cupped his little face in my hand and sang him a lullaby that my mother used to sing to me.

Don't cry little baby the sun will cry too

Just remember that the sky is always blue

I will be by your side through it all

I won't hurt you and I'll catch you if you fall.

Don't cry little one life isn't fair

But remember that together

Well make it through it all.

I didn't sing the rest because he had fallen asleep and was drooling a little from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm gonna miss you little guy." I pushed my tears aside and left his room, not bothering to shut his door all the way. I didn't bother saying goodbye to anyone else and quickly encapsulated my belongings and left. As I snuck out of my window on the third floor and fell to the ground in a heap. My legs hurt and it felt like my ribs were bruised but I didn't care and hurried off into the darkness. All the while I could hear the frenzied crying behind me.
