Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Days of Hardship ❯ Recovery Room ( Chapter 3 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Raditz woke up in a dim, cool room. His head throbbing and his tail ached, he felt as if he was on the verge of vomiting. His muscles were sore, and bruised. His ankle felt sore and throbbed heavily. Raditz slowly opened his eyes. His vision extremely blurry, but eventually adjusted.

"Mmm-My back hurts."

Raditz whimpered.
slowly, hoarsely spoke out then found a strong urge to cough his lungs out. Breathing in deep, he prepared his lungs for a brutal awakening. Coughing out loud, his lungs burned and ached. His coughs mixing with mucus and other materials in his lungs. Leaving him hacking. He tasted a rotten flavor on the back of his tongue, adding to the feeling, the need to vomit. Raditz tried to rise up to find some kind of room he could temporarily claim as a bathroom. But a gentle hand pressed him down back to the bed. Nearly Raditz's whole body was bandaged back up. His chest was heavily bandaged, his knees were in gauze due to resting his heavy body on the hard floor in the dungeon, his ankles were lightly wraped in cloth, so were his wrists, his tail free of all bandages...this left Raditz, a bit confused.
gentle hand was attached to a strong shoulder, a young man, which was too, a saiyan, stared into Raditz's eyes. His eyes were brown, instead of black. His hair was shoulder length and a bit shabby. He was much paler than Raditz and he too had heavy scars all over his body. He wore a simple loin cloth. (He was about Vegeta's height) His tail hung lazily behind him, but flicked every so often. This young man was very worried about Raditz. Wetting a brown cloth by dipping it in a warm bucket of water. He very gently pressed the warm cloth onto Raditz's lightly quivering mouth.

"You may spit that junk into this cloth. You cannot leave this bed. Not until you are fully healed...Orders from Master Female"
's head was very gently lifted and he complied. Hacking the junk into the cloth. Smacking his lips, trying to get the disgusting taste out of his mouth.
worried young saiyan lowered himself towards Raditz's side.

"I am Chess, please don't worry. I won't hurt you. I only want to help you."
propped himself on his elbows. Lightly breathing and looked at Chess.

"I highly doubt that!"

Chess Turned his head slightly to the side, in curiosity.

"Now, why don't you believe me? You were heavily tortured, and now you are bandaged upI feel sorry for people broken into Master Female's slavery. But to tell you the truth, she isn't as bad as you thinkshe's pretty nice, once you get to know her--really!"
thought this man went totally insane.
isn't as bad as I thinkwho the HELL does this man think he is!!! She tortured the living crap outta' me and he wants to complement her!!! HELL FUCKIN' NO!!!*

Raditz said in his mind.

"Are you nuts!!? She's a monster! How can you say that! HUH!?? How the hell did she break you! TELL ME!!"

Raditz roared out, his voice still hoarse.

"She didn't break meI came to her and asked to be her slave. People who ask to come and work for her, she doesn't have any reason to break them since they come here and ask to become a slave. Its only the ones that she has to capture, are the ones who have to be broken. Master Female doesn't break every one the same way. She broke you with sexual torment, and torture, but she might break someone else with giving them a near impossible assignment, and if they fail...heh, then the assignment becomes impossible. And a punishment following the impossible assignment."
's jaw dropped to the floor. Completely dumb found.

"I don't' get itHow can you want to be her slave!? She's strict, she's mean, she a MONSTER! I've never met a woman as horrible as her! I fuckin' hate her! She tore me away from my family, and threatens me, that if I don't do what she says--"

"She'll kill your family. I know."
finished his sentence. Looking sorry for him.

"She has already told me everything. I am very sorry. But there is nothing I can do for you, except guide you to obey her properly and to work here without getting yourself killed. Please, I ask of youIf you trap that hate in yourself you will not do well here and you will never be reunited with your family. But if you put your emotional pain into a journal and write your feeling there you just might have a better chance of becoming free eventually. You will do well here, and you will see your family again, and you will have the luxury of breathing air, a free man. Please believe me. I have guided many people to their freedom. And I am very much willing to guide you to yours as well."
thought about what Chess said. He eventually agreed. Lying down, his body slowly began to heal its self.
entered sometime between Raditz waking up and Chess asking Raditz to put his emotions in a journal.

"How is he?"
asked Chess.

"He's fine. Upset, but fine. He needs time to heal."
he needs to heal but he also needs to earn food and water...we can't just give a new slave food and water when we feel like it. You know the rules Chess."
spoke. He too was worried about Raditz.
looked at Raditz, then to Enim.
has been brutally tortured and raped. He has earned his right for food and water because he has not totally bled to death. Besides, Master Female seems to be quite fond of him. If she wants him alive, he will granted the necessary items he needs to live."
shrugged his shoulders and agreed. Without another word Enim left the room to fetch fresh food and cold water.
fiddled with the tips of his hair that tangled around his fingers. Not knowing what he should do, or should not do. He decided to take a chance and speak.

"So...how long have you been here"

Chess looked at the floor.
years and two months."
almost wet himself after hearing how long Chess has been here. Raditz bolted up from the bed shaking his fists and ignoring the extreme pain begging him to lay down and rest. he was wearing the same outfit as before, but his worn boots were at the foot of the bed, on the floor.

"Can't you just say that you wanna leave!? I mean...you ASKED her if you could be her slave right?YOU INSANE WHY IN THE FIRERY PITS OF HELL WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO BE A SLAVE--TO HER!?"

Chess backed up from Raditz's out burst. He quickly reddened, sighed and told him why.
a man that's been hunting me down for years and well, heh, he turned me asexual. He's one of those men that would happily sexually abuse his baby sister. I fear him, and I don't want to get caught in his hands. If that happens. I-I'll kill myself! I knew that Tan Tan Oui would never come here because he fears Master Female. So that's why I came. As long as I'm here I'm safe. And Master Female likes me so as long as I thank her, and obey her, as well as keep out of her way when she is angered. I am emmune to all threats of being hunted down by Tan Tan Oui."
layed back down his body slowly beginning to rest again. He crossed his arms.

"Coward!"

Was Raditz's reply.
felt rather rejected backing up and breathing in air for a come back.
am not a coward! If Tan Tan--"
suddenly barged in, holding a descent amount of food and a jug of water.
tell me that you are preaching the Tan Tan story again Chess. All of that's old news. Try to live in the present, not the past my friend."
sat the food down on Raditz's lap. Raditz immediately attacked the food shoving everything he could take hold of and shoving it into his mouth. Forgetting what little manners he knew he didn't even bother to wipe his mouth, but simply licked his lips and continued shoving.

"MMM-mm phis issh good!"

Raditz spoke, mouth full of food. In one big gulp it was all down and he was ready for another hand full of food to shove in.

He soon realized that his tail was happily wagging by his side.

*I thought my tail was broken?...oh well...I have food!*

Raditz quickly dismissed the thought that his tail was healed. His body quickly felt ninety percent better than before. His stomach was full, his tail was healed, the pain was subsiding, and he was content...for the moment.
strength quickly came back, lying back down on the bed, he allowed the rest of his body to mend itself back together.
