Chapter Four

 

Nehtar eyed the strangers warily. She knew Bulma, Jey and Lily were on their way, but she felt the power radiating off these strangers. Slinking around as a fox, she was careful not to be seen. She counted around twenty males-all males. All of them wearing blue or black body armor, except one. She was short, with hair swept up into a flame. He was in red. He seemed to be the leader of the group. They spoke softly to one another, Nehtar strained her neck to try to make out the words, but they were in another language. She knew she could use her voice to lure one of them over to her, she power in her voice. It was hypnotic. She had discovered this many years ago, in an unpleasant way. She was lonely and sad, and was singing a song filled with her sorrow while walking along the beach. The birds that were nearby were drawn to her and absorbed the sorrow she spoke of in her song. They drown themselves. All of them. It was in the paper the next day as a weird occurrence. Fifty-six sea birds washed up dead on the shore. Nehtar was still feeling the guilt. Since then, she was careful about what she sang. Sometimes, she would forget-it happened a lot. But, she was helpful when accompanying Lily on the vampire hunts.

She sighed. It seemed these damned creatures were naturally drawn to them. She remembered when Baveras disappeared. They all thought she was dead, but Nehtar was not so certain. She would have felt her life string end. Nehtar had extraordinary healing powers along with her unusual voice. Using these powers, she was able to follow the “life strings” as she called them, of any creature she had every touched. Ducking under a low bush, Nehtar realized how glad she was that she had found the other girls. They too had gifts. She was never alone. They all lived together out in the woods, in a small house that Lily had bought some twenty years before. It was nice to have a family that would not judge, and they were able to see-hear- past her voice. She could talk about her sadness without having to worry that someone or something would wind up hurt. The others called her full of light and joy, but she knew that was only part of her. She could be dark too, especially when she created the songs when out with Lily hunting. She shivered, sometimes she even scarred herself. She stilled when she heard yelling. It seemed that the small one was shouting orders. She then saw two large men levitate and glow- then just fly away! Even as the fox, her mouth hung open. What were these guys about? She would wait before she made any move. She did not want to lose any advantage she had.

Vegeta watched as Turles, Barrlo, and Nappa took off into the sky. He had ordered them to hunt. He turned to the rest of his men. “You are to search for any woman that may have powers like ours. Her brain waves will be different from the rest of the humans. Take caution. People here do not know us. They do not know our race or our powers. You must make everything seem normal to them. You may have to erase and replant memories. Just do not harm the women.”

The men looked at each other for a moment before taking off in all direction to do their prince's bidding. Perhaps there was a life mate here for them as well.

Radditz remanded along with Nappa's brother, Coor. “We will stay with you sire. There are vampires here older than I. I do not wish for you to have to fight them alone. They seem to be flocking to this area. I can feel them getting nearer.”

“I do not feel anything yet.” Coor replied. He was as tall as Nappa, but much darker. Still no hair, but that obviously ran in the family. He was leaner, but gruffer. The fact that he felt nothing was not a secret to anyone. Many would list him as cruel and cold. He lost his emotions early as well. He was a mere fifty. His mother had prophesized that he would, that is why she named him Coor, meaning the shadow itself. She had felt the shadow encroaching on him at birth.

“Then you do not reach out. There are several women with high power levels in the area as well. They seem to be coming near us. The mass congregation of the women have made the nearby vampires hurry in their task of acquiescing them. They felt us land, and do not want us to have them. Several of them are old and powerful. I feel their hate and jealousy towards us.”

Vegeta spoke, “You have always been more sensitive to the presence of the turned, Radditz. You must get that after your father. He was much the same. We will protect the nearby women and kill the vampires. There will be no need to worry. There will not be any failure.”

Coor nodded, beginning to feel the other power signatures coming closer. He watched as his prince turned into an eagle, and followed suit. They would be able to use the superior vision of the large bird of prey to scan the surrounding area for both the women and the vampires.

Radditz was about to morph, but felt something flickering at the edge of his senses. A ki signature. A suppressed one, but it was still there. He scanned the area. It was close. Too close. He could not tell if it was friend or foe. Then he saw her, as a fox, hiding behind some dense bushes at the edge of the clearing. He smirked-then disappeared.

Nehtar was completely floored by what she just witnessed. They all seemed to be able to fly, and they could shape shift as well. The one that remained just disappeared all together. Who are these people?!

Where are you guys? She sent out to the others. You will never believe what I just saw. You need to hurry!

We are on the way. Bulma replied. Jey is with me. Lily felt Baveras, yea, I know amazing. She went to help her. But I feel some bad energies heading towards us. Two or three vampires, maybe more I cannot tell.

What?! Some of the guys just took of in your direction. But I did not feel anything purely evil about them. They just left! They are upon you already?!

Hmm. Jey replied. I do not think they are the same. I have been feeling the vampires trying to find us for the last five minutes, not just now.

I will come to you. Nehtar replied, and turned around to head back towards her friends. When suddenly she ran into a wall. She yelped and lost her concentration on holding the form of a fox. She shifted back into human form and looked up-to stare into the face of a man. The same man that had completely disappeared not a second ago!

Radditz stared down into the face of the girl at his feet. Colors exploded into his world. It can't be…he thought. She is the one? But she is so young, a mere fledgling. But the explosion of colors and emotions into his world so suddenly proved that this girl was his other half. He could have screamed with his joy. Joy- that is what he felt. After so long, he had found her. And only have been on this planet for a matter of minutes.

He glanced down and saw that she was slinking away. Crawling backward like a crab. He reached out and caught her ankle. He squatted down to her level.

Where are you going, uccellino? The words floated around in Nehtar's head as clearly as if he had spoken them out loud.

He can communicate telepathically?!

Yes, I can. I can read your thoughts too, little one. His laughter bubbled up into her head and she glared at him.

“What do you want? Why are you here? Let go of me!” The words flew out of her mouth at an alarming rate.

Radditz smiled as he replied, “I am here for you. I have been searching for you for centuries. You are my other half, I can never let you go.” He gathered her in his arms and hauled her against him. His face nuzzled in her hair. Glorious hair.

“Let me go!” Nehtar cried, struggling against him. But his hold was like steel. “You are crazy! You need help! I'll scream!”

Hush piccola. You are mine. I will never let you go. “You are my life mate and I claim you as such. I give you my body, mind, heart, and soul, and take into possession yours. I will put your happiness and welfare above my own. We live as one, die as one.” Radditz spoke the ritual words, binding them together before he even knew he had said them. But as he bent down to her neck, to complete the bond, he felt heavy. He could hardly move his arms. He could hear her singing, he reached out to that voice for help, but it only made him more lethargic.

Nehtar was shaking she was so scared. This guy was crazy. She kept singing as she wiggled out of his arms. Her song rendered him motionless. She sung about stones and mountains, and how they would never move. She turned and ran. Ran towards her sisters in hope that they would help her. But she felt a strange emptiness filling her mind as she got further and further away from the man. She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts.

Radditz smirked as movement finally came back to him. He had left himself so unguarded, that her spell had worked on him and she had escaped. No matter. He was not like the rest of his race. He did not mind a rebellious woman. She would bring years of fun and laughter into his life. After this little stunt, he would have to be more careful of her crafty ways. He laughed as he sent her a thought, That was not nice, dolcezza. But I am coming for you. I can smell you even as you run from me. Once I catch you I will make you mine forever. With that last thought he sent her a barrage of erotic images with her as the star, what he was doing to her and what she was doing to him.

Even inside the body of the fox, Nehtar felt herself turn red, even as her heart did a flip-flop in excitement. Never, is all she replied.
