I NEVER GIVE UP

By: AMCM74

Chapter 23

Melody knew her father was hiding something from her. It was obvious. She stared out at the sea as the waves lapped the shore. Her blonde hair blowing around her as she stood lost in her thoughts. What could she do to get her parents to open up and tell her about what was going on. It was hard to think that her entire life had been a lie. Melody looked up at the morning sky and wondered what she was going to do for the millionth time.

The she heard the clicking. Turning her head she saw the man standing there holding a camera in his hands off to the left of her fathers house's green foliage.

"YOU there!" She gathered her flowing skits in one fist and pull it from around her legs. She took two steps toward him and he bolted back around the house. Melody gasped in annoyance and leaped over the rail. Landing on the sand she ran after him. She had a feeling she had seen him before. She came around the side of the house to see him getting into a silver car and speeding off. She stood there on the side of the street wondering who he was and why he had been taking pictures of her. It made no sense.

"Poppet?" Her father came up behind her. "I saw you jump ff the porch. Is my cooking that bad?" he teased.

Melody smiled and turns back to him "of course not Dad. It is worse. Please tell me you made me cereal."

Jonathon put his arm around his daughter's shoulders. "How about I just toss the pancakes and we go out for breakfast."

Walking back to the house Melody tried to forget the incident. Maybe it was nothing.



Bra heard the key in the lock. Her head lifted as Mark came through the portal. She could not contain her self as she ran to him and tossed herself into his strong arms.

"BRA!" He looked shocked as he held her closed.

Bra was reeling. He was warm and real in her arms again. Tears poured out of her eyes. Al the pain and agony her heart had been feeling over the past few months coming to the surface. She choked on her sobs and held on to him with all she had.

"How did you beat me back to the resort?" Mark asked as he ran his hand over her hair "I came straight here from the house."

Bra paused and though of her stupid stubborn self, sitting at the house wither family the night before his impending death. How could she have been so petty and selfish? "Just shut up and hold me!"

She felt him flinch at her words and he ran his hand over her back "Bra." He's voice was like birds singing to her "It's going to be alright."

Bra shook her head. He had no idea how wrong he was. No thing would ever be all right again. Her life with out him seemed even more miserable and full of despair now that she was wrapped against him. She was never going back to the horrid place in her life. Never she would save him. She pressed her face into this chest and inhaled his scent. The smell was intoxicating to her senses. He was hers and hers forever. She was never letting go. Bra knew it was not the time or the place for a Saiyan bonding but she was desperate.



"Mark." She buried her face into his chest "I love you sooo much!" It was the only offering of reason for what she was about to do that she could offer. She moved back a bit so she could look up at those amazing green eyes that sparkled with life and joy.

He seemed a bit surprised at her reaction to him. Who could blame him only a few hours ago she was giving him the cold shoulder and now she was draped against him like a wet sheet. "Ohh Bra, I love you too. Calm down, baby." She leaned on him and he looked down at her sadly "I am so sorry this is hurting you."

"I have to talk to you about some things." Bra wanted to explain. There was so much she needed to tell him. She had to explain about the surgery. Why he should not go through with it. About the bonding and how it was irreversible. He at least had the right to know that after tonight there was no turning back. The only way out of this was death and she would never let that happen again.

"Not this again. I am doing the surgery tomorrow. I have to save my mother. She is all I have." Mark rain his finger through her hair and kick the door shut behind him. He looked up at with shining blue tears in her eyes.

"You can't" Bra felt her body tensing at his words and shot back. In her mind she felt Trunks grabbing her again and pulling her back. It was almost as if she was reliving the mess yet again. "I will not let you. I can bear losing you. It is killing me. My life has been hell without you." She almost clamped her hand over her mouth as the words spilled out. How could she have said that? He could not know she was from the future. A place where he no longer existed.

"You're the one who refused to speak to me for the last few days." Mark kissed her lips "Don't talk about it Bra. Just make love to me. Show me all I have to live for."

She shuddered at his teasing tone. It had been months since she had seen him. How did he expect her to react she grabbed hold of his shirt and dragged his lips to hers. Bra's arms rising around him and held him to her with a furious passion she had never know she possessed. "Damn, Bra!" Mark grinned down at her and lifted her into his arms. Slowly he walked to he bed. "Just love me tonight. Tomorrow will sort it's self out." Bra opened her mouth to speak, but he placed her on the bed and put his fingertips to her lips. "For me."

Bra growled. For him she would do anything. Even trick him into an the bonding. He has no idea. She thought to herself. They would have ended up her no matter who he refused. He intoxicated her that she would have practically raped him to have him near her now. It was like gear burning up in her mind as she felt his arms move around her. The feeling was almost exploding around them. With out warning she pulled him done on the bed and flipped over him.

His eyes opened wide in shock as she ripped his clothing from him in her desperate need to feel his flesh on hers. She would not let him retreat from her. She was growing demanding in her need to feel that which had been taken from her. No Mark was not leaving her this time. She was almost mad with her intend. Pulling her clothing off she tossed it off the bed and moved over him. "There is no going back after this Mark" She looked down at him "This is it you are mine."

Mark let his head drop back and on the pillows and panted out in exerted breathes "And you hear me complaining...when?"

Bra could only smirk at his statement. This was her man. He took her as well as he gave. There was no one more perfect for her. Even her father had seen it. There was nothing left to do now but full filling her plans and then together they could take Gina down. Pulling him tighter to her she cried out. There were so many possibilities now. This was her future. Mark at her side.
