Gama's Blood Crystal

Chapter 10: The Dream awakened

Saria is asleep in her bed in her house, dreaming vaguely of her time in the other world.

A huge splash of water is thrown into Saria's face. She immediately sits up in shock, glaring at the culprit. He was a muscular, 35 year old man who looked like he hadn't shaved his face in a week and smelled like he'd poured a bottle of whiskey all over him.

"I have an alarm clock, dad." Saria responds icily. "And no I do not have your beer hidden on my bed." She grabs the dryer parts of her blanket and wraps it around her.

Her dad scowls at her and growls his response "You missed school yesterday, you're not missing any more."

Saria sarcastically responds with "Gee, now why is that?" Her dad at first scowls darkly at her, but the memory of him slapping her hard enough to leave a huge bruise across her cheek has him smirking instead.

She continues to glare at him and snarls her reply of "I'm up! Now let me get dressed so I don't have to stay here!"

She stands up, holding the blanket around her wet body, and stares him down. He pats her once bruised cheek in a condescending way, saying "No, we wouldn't want that, now would we?"

He then grins at her and walks out. She continues her ice-glare of his back and, as soon as he's out her door, slams her door shut. She locks it and turns around, thinking What am I doing letting myself get pissed off at him like that? She looks up at her clock. And gasps. The clock reads 7:08am.

She immediately yells "Dad! You bastard! You did that on purpose!"

But she's already ripping her blanket from her and throwing it on her bed. Underneath, she was wearing a gray, spaghetti-strap belly shirt with short-shorts. She immediately runs into her closet, pulling her wet nightclothes off and grabbing a new outfit of black baggies and a blue cut-off belly shirt. She quickly pulls them on, then her black combat boots and a gray, sleeve-less sweatshirt. By the time she's finished, her clock reads 7:10. She quickly grabs her backpack and runs out her door, thru the small trailer house, and then out the front door. At full speed, she rushes to the bus stop that's several blocks away, hoping that she'll make it before the bus arrives at 7:12.

~~~~~~~~

Luckily, she made it in time and rushed onto the bus, immediately making her way past all the jeering assholes already on there and sitting down in the very back seat of the bus. Her usual seat. This way she didn't have to listen to all the insults that were being whispered about her. And she didn't have to tolerate anyone's presence, since nobody ever sat back there with her. She was just too dangerous and weird.

And today was even worse than usual for any idiot stupid enough to even look at her. She was completely preoccupied with that weird dream that she'd had last night. The z-gang were in it. She'd had a few DBZ dreams before, but this one was so weird and the way the whole thing felt… She just couldn't help but think about. And then how she let her father get under her skin like that… Fucking dream…

Then, when the bus finally got to school, she still couldn't shake the dream. She immediately headed to her locker, trying to figure it all out and vaguely remembered some part of her promising to be rational. She took it as a hint and forced herself to calm down and think more coolly about the whole thing. It was just a dream.

On the way to her books, tho, some old friends decided to pay her a visit. 2 big, well-muscled jocks with no brains what so ever, going by the names of Kevin and Luke. And no tolerance for Saria at all. They stop her in the sparsely populated hallway, blocking her path. "Hey look. It's the evil wannabe." Stupid Kevin.

She growls in angered-annoyance, looking them dead in the eye. This catches them off guard, having expected annoyance, not anger. But they just think it's nothing and tease it off. "Oh my, it looks like the bitch is in a feisty mood!"

"Move or die." Saria simply says, in no mood to tolerate their shit this time.

This pisses them off and Kevin immediately gets in her face about it. "You're in a funny position to be threatening us, slut."

But before he can say anything else, Saria roughly pushes him to the floor and brushes past Luke, quickly storming off down the hall, and ignoring their angered insults trailing after her. That was surprising. I usually ignore them, not offend them. Then again, I havebeen feeling weird all morning. She shrugged it off her mind and noticed the bell ring. She ignored it, intent on getting to her locker first. She had good enough grades that all of her absences and all the tardies in the world wouldn't affect her in the least. She thought back to the stupid jocks as she got to her designated metal lock-box and turned the combination. As stupid as it was, she was actually sort of liking being a bitch. She just needed to remember to do it on purpose and stay the fuck away from her father. She didn't need another beating. And this new attitude of hers would quickly get her the belt.

She grabbed what she needed and headed on to class, again being plagued by memories of her dream. And she couldn't help but think. If that's what dying feels like, then it's no wonder mama suicided. Why can't I find that kind of peace in this life? She shrugged and walked into class just as the bell rang for the second time. Now I'm thinking about my mother when I haven't done that in years. I'm now ignoring you dream. She sits down at her desk and the Teacher begins class shortly after. She tries to forget the dream, but somehow, she knows that she can't. And maybe even shouldn't. This is going to be a strange day…

~~~~~~~~

The z-gang on the other hand had gotten home alright. They could finally use their powers again, and now they knew a little more about what had been going on. Before they had landed in that labyrinth, Mr. Satan and Videl had disappeared some time ago, leaving a very distraught Gohan who hadn't known what had happened to make either disappear like that. He hadn't even been able to sense Videl's ki anywhere. And then when Krillen had been found missing too, they'd suspected a danger to their planet or something like that. But this was completely different. And they weren't quite sure how to react.

Then there was Trunks, who was pretty distraught over the loss of Saria, even tho they hadn't known each other for long. She was just as mysterious as Vegeta had been when everyone had first met him. Maybe even more so. They believed that he probably only had a crush on her. So he'll get over it eventually. Vegeta, however, was thinking over it all. Who was this 'he' that Azrel had mentioned? And 'pet'? He had a feeling that this wasn't anywhere near over. Despite what the witches had said. He wasn't sure if they would all be involved in this again, but Saria was not just gonna be left alone. He glanced over at his son. Then again, maybe they would all get involved again… Foolish boy…
