Heta

"Talking"

[Whispering]

'Thinking'

<Talking a/or whispering in another language>

"Sire!" a man, said coming into the throne room. The king egged for the man to come forth and he did so. The man bent and whispered to the king "Sire, a new shipment of slaves has arrived." The man then stood strait and waited for an answer. After a few minutes the king stood and a boy no older then five stood as well. "Vary well then. Vegeta you will come with me," said the king. "Yes father."

The man led them out of the throne room and to another area of the palace. They were soon led to a docking area and to a raised area where over a hundred people stood. Most had ragged old clothes; some even had just a thin sheet over them. Only one small group a females had semi-decent clothing. "Vegeta go pick out some decent looking ones. And no brats just so you can pick on them and beat them up. I've had enough bodes lying around to last me three lifetimes." At this the smaller slaves tensed at the thought of being killed so brutally.

The young prince seamed to pout then continued on with the task. He paced the small group of females and gestured to a guard to get them.

"Burma what's going to happen to us now?" a small child no older then the prince asked her friend. "I really don't know Heta," said a blue haired beauty. "I heard that most slaves that come here go through things worse then death," a raven-haired girl behind Heta said. "Chi-Chi! Stop that you're scaring her," Burma scolded her oldest friend.

Burma and Chi-Chi had both come from a small blue planet called Chikyuu. Heta however didn't come from Chikyuu in fact she didn't know what planet she was from she had been a slave for as long as she could walk. Her hair was a spiky black and her eyes dark green. Burma had blue hair and eyes to mach while Chi-Chi had hair as black as a raven and eyes as black as night.

Burma, Chi-Chi, and Heta continued to follow the guard in silence along with only a hand full of other picked slaves. The guard took them to a rather small metal room and had them sit on the floor till another guard came to get them. He shut the door causing the darkness of the room to thicken and some of the slaves to panic. "Calm down everybody. There's nothing in here but us," Heta yelled over the panicking people. They stopped the ridiculous panicking but some still shook with fear from the dark.

Burma and Chi-Chi couldn't see anything not even the person bumping into them, but they felt someone else pull the first away. "You two okay?" Heta's voice asked. "Yeah how'd ya' find us?" Chi-Chi's voice came from the dark. "I can see you standing not two feet from me. Duh!"

Heta said like it was obvious. "YOU CAN SEE IN THIS BLACK HOLE?!" Chi-Chi screamed causing her voice to bounce off the metal walls. "AH! Damn Chi-Chi don't scream have you already forgotten I'm not a blasted human, AH!" Heta said clutching her sore ears. "You don't know that for sure. You don't even know what race your from," Chi-Chi argued. "I don't care just shut up I think you killed my ears, ARGH!" Heta spat back. "Will you two stop that before I make you both deaf," Burma said in a low dangerous voice.

They didn't have time to respond as another guard came in and took the group to the throne room. "Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't fidget. You will stand in a line in front of the king so that he may place you in your job areas," the guard said when they got to the door. "Damn slaves probably to dumb ta know what ya saying," he mumbled under his breath. Heta growled at hearing what he said and the guard looked at her.

"What you growling at brat?!" the guard spat (literally) at her. Heta whipped the spittle off her face and just glared at the aho in front of the group. "That's what I thought," he said smugly.

He opened the large oak doors to the throne room and the group lined up according to size. The king stood from his throne and walked down the line till he got to Heta. "What's your name brat?" he questioned. She hesitated then said "The names Heta."

The king looked at the old dirty blue body suit she wore then at the silver ear-cuff with a sapphire stone hanging from it. "Where did you get your clothing and that earring?" he questioned again. "I have had this stuff for as long as I can remember," she said looking straight at Vegeta who stood next to the throne looking at her (glaring was more like it).

"Bardock get the collars. I think I have decided where to place them." The king said walking back to the throne. [Father why did you even bother talking with that slave?] Vegeta asked in sayigo. [Because she is Saiyan. Why else do you think she has that outfit. And that ear-cuff shows she was born into an elite house.] The king replayed siting back on his throne.

Heta's eyes grew wide after hearing what they had said. 'How the hell?! But…I'm just a slave if I was of the elite then why am I a fucking slave?' she thought to herself. She looked at the marble floor thinking of what was just said when a thin black collar was snapped on her neck. "Nani? Nani the hell is this?!" she screeched earning herself a hard slap in the face. "No one told you to speak!" Bardock yelled. Heta just stood there and glared at him with so much hate that if looks could kill he'd be dead a hundred times over.

Bardock moved down the line placing different colored collars on the others. Burma received a gold and Chi-Chi a white. Another girl that had blue skin and wore a white tattered dress also got a black collar. Heta looked at the other end of the line and saw most the males had orange collars and only one had a black collar. He had red hair and gray-blue eyes from what Heta could tell. He wore baggy tan pants and looked strong.

"You will now separate into different groups according to the color of your collar. White with Strent." a woman spiky black hair stepped out from behind the line and Chi-Chi and two other girls went up to her. "Orange with Nappa." Most of the males to Heta's left walked up to another man who was bald with big muscles. "Gold with Con." A short man with short spiky hair walked up to stand next to Strent and Burma went and stood next to him. Heta had to stop herself from giggling at the fact that Con was two inches shorter then the seven-year-old Burma.

"Blue with Pato, and black with me." Heta, the boy and other girl walked up to Bardock. Everyone soon walked out of the throne room in silence then went two different halls. Chi-Chi down the hall in front of the oak doors and Burma went the other way down the same hall as Heta.

They walked for what seemed hours till they got to a hall with any double oak and/or cherry oak doors. the hall had many portraits of former kings, queens, princes and princesses yet none of them seemed to be happy. Bardock led the small group to a small pine door and opened it. "this is where you will sleep, clothes are in the dresser and the bathroom is the door to the left. Be happy you have been picked for this kind of work. The king has seen fit to place you in charge of taking care of the maid work, for the royals and guests and you," he said looking at Heta, "are to be Prince Vegeta's personal slave." He then lead them out of the room and back toward and back toward the coward the closest pair of doors. "this" he said opening them, "is the Prince's room. you," he again looked at Heta, "are to be in here cleaning by six o'clock on the dot. meaning all of you will have eaten and dressed by 5:30. The chemicals you will need for cleaning are in the closet, in your room, and you will always be nice to anyone superior to you. In other words if you don't want to die keep your damn trap shut 'less you're told to speak." He shut the door and told Heta to return to the slave's quarters till he returned.

'Damn that bastard! why did he make me his personal slave I'm not anything new.' she sighed, 'maybe he really thought I was a Saiya-jin. I don't even have a friggen tail for Megami's sake! and I have green eyes not black. why the hell do they think I'm one of them?'

she sat on the floor thinking about that till the black clock on the wall said 3:40. she then got up and looked around the room better. on the wall to her right was the dresser, made of what looked like evergreen wood, and atop that was a mirror that was at least three feet high. also on the wall to her right was the closet door. on it was something in Saiyago that she figured said broom closet. on her left was a table that looked like it was made of willow. three chairs next to it also made of willow. on the wall above the table was the black clock and under that a small wall lamp. also on her left was another door with more Saiyago that she guessed meant bathroom. in front of her was a king size bed with three black pillows and black sheets. on either side of the bed was a nightstand and next to them, two round windows. the curtains where dark blue velvet and she noticed the floor was black like the sheets. the walls were dark blue like the curtains and the only thing that stood out in the room was a blood red alarm clock on the left side of the bed.

'I claim left side,' she thought to herself, with a smirk forming on her face. about that time Bardock returned with the other two maid slaves. "ok you come with me too" he said. she followed him out of the room and back down the hall. he led them back toward the throne room then down then down the hall Chi-Chi had gone.

^-^

it was now almost six o'clock in the afternoon and the kitchen was full of food slaves when Heta got there with Bardock and her two "companions". "Bardock, did you have to come right now, it's the busiest time of day other than lunch," complained Strent. "Yes in fact I did. I do what I can to make your life a living hell." Bardock said in a mock happy tone. Strent snorted and stomped off to make more food.

Bardock told the group to remember the way to and from the kitchen to the hall they slept in, because they most likely would be running to and from both places. After showing them the slaves eating area he left to sit in his own area of the cafeteria like room.

^-^

When Bardock left them at the table Heta finally got to talk to her new "friends". "So what planet are you from?" she asked the blue skinned girl. The girl looked at her as in deciding on whether to tell her or not. After a few seconds she finally said," I came from a planet called Chikyuu-jin; it has been dubbed Neptune. My name is Nemeara. And you are...?"She said with a weird accent. "My name's Heta, but I really don't remember where I'm from. I've been a slave since I could walk." Heta said. "That's awful." said the boy who sat on her left (Nemeara sat on her right). "Oh excuse me, my name's Arel. I'm from Ailartsua-sei," the boy said in am accent much like an Australian's.

As they talked, the slave table filled with slaves from all over the castle and after about half an hour Burma finally came and sat in front of Heta. "Heta, how ya been?" she asked. "Lets see bored, pissed, and annoyed. You?" "Bout the same. I'm the only tech slave and they treat me like a bot. oh who are your friends?" she asked noticing the black collars on Nemeara and Arel. "This is Arel from Ailartsua and Nemeara from Neptune. We happen to be the royal maids." Heta said the last part in mock happiness. "Bardock says we should be thankful for getting this kind of work, says its the best ya can get `cause ya get ta take care of his royal-pain-in-the-ass." Heta said still pissed that she had to be Vegeta's personal slave. "She has to be Prince Vegeta's personal slave don't mind her. So you know who we are what's your name?" Arel asked. "Oh how rude of me, my name is Burma, Burma Briefs of Chikyuu. My father was..." she trailed off not wanting to remember what happened to her planet. "Its ok Burma you don't have to talk about it." Heta said.

They continued to talk about themselves and new 'jobs' until the food came, served by the kitchen slaves. They wore white body suits and red streaks put in their hair. Chi-Chi finally came and served the black collars (that's what the other slaves call each other, by the color of their collar) something that looked like a fish patty sandwich for Nemeara and steak for the other two. "Chi-Chi what's up?" Burma asked cheerfully. Chi-Chi looked at her like she was nuts. "Sorry not allowed to talk got work." she said and ran back to the kitchen for more food. 'Geez glad I didn't get that job.' Heta thought.

A.N. well that's the first chapter in this story! Hope you liked it and all I'm saying about the next chapter is that I feel sorry for Heta.

Disclaimer: since the world's not fair I don't own DBZ but Heta, Nemeara, Arel, and Ailartsua-sei are mine and if I catch anyone using them with out my permission I will certainly have a 'chat' with them.

Thx and have a nice day! -. -'
