Confessions Of The Mind

Vegeta walked down the streets, the pouring rain soaking him. He could barely feel Pan's ki now, but he knew it was close. He had a bad feeling about the situation but didn't know why. As he walked, each step was heavier than the last. His footsteps heard loudly in the darkness. He turned the corner, feeling her ki in the direction.

His heart began to beat faster as he approached the ki. Walking slowly walked to the alley entrance and paused momentarily before turning his head. His eyes widened as he looked down to see a broken and bloody Pan lying unconsciously. "Good God…"

"Mom, where did dad go?" Bra asked as she sat down by her mother. "Oh, he went after Pan. I guess Trunks and her had a fight or something; she looked pretty angry and so did Trunks when I saw him. He looked horrible! Poor thing, Pan must have rejected him." Bulma bit her lip. "Oh, don't worry mom. They were made for each other, they'll come around; you'll see."

She kissed her mother on the cheek before setting off back into the party. "I hope you're right, cause if you aren't, Trunks may never find a mate," Bulma said to herself. Bulma couldn't wait any longer now; she had to go talk to her son. "That's it, I have to find him and talk to him before he does something bad like kill himself or something," Bulma got up and paced vigorously in the direction she felt his ki.

Vegeta ran to her side. "What the hell happened!?" he exclaimed. He was completely shocked that anyone could manage to do this. Trunks and himself were the only ones he knew of that could beat her, and he knew she knew exactly who had done it. He checked her pulse to see how faint it was. "It's very faint. She hasn't been out here long but it is a cold night. I better get her to the castle quick."

He scooped her up in his arms and flew straight in the direction of his home.

"Trunks?" Bulma walked into the room he had went in to be by himself. "Leave me alone," he said quickly, not even turning to look at her. "Oh, honey," Bulma sat down by him and put her hand on his shoulder. "What happened outside, sweetheart?" she asked in a low, soothing tone. Trunks was silent. "Come on, Trunks, you can tell me. What did she do?"

"…She…she turned me down again," he confessed. "Oh Trunks, I'm sorry. What happened?" she asked. "We were talking and she just wasn't…she just wasn't seeing things my way." "Trunks, I'm sure she didn't mean to-" "Mom, I told her I loved her and she walked away!" he barked unconsciously.

"Oh…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell." He apologized. "No, it's okay, Trunks. I know you didn't mean it." "Mom, she walked out on me, why?! What did I do that was so horrible?" Bulma felt so sad and troubled. He felt so heart broken and she felt as if she couldn't do anything about it. "Trunks, I know it doesn't seem like it now, but you two will end up together, I know you will. Love is a hard thing to come by, don't give it up so easily."

" I know mom but it's so hard and she's just not willing! (Sigh) I'm going out, see you later." He got up. "But it's raining-" "I don't care," he stated, walking out the door, shutting it hard.

"Pan? Pan, are you awake?" Vegeta put a hot rag on her forehead to help revive her and thaw her out. She slowly and painfully opened her eyes to meet Vegeta's. "Pan, are you okay?" He tried to get her full attention but she was busy looking around the room. "Whe-where am I? Ouch!" she moved a little too fast and hurt herself.

"You're at the infirmary of the castle and the place you are going to tell me just what the hell is going on," he sounded serious. "T-tell you what? I-I just got into a little fight," she stuttered. "Little fight?! He tore off most of your clothing, he was going to rape you-" "No he wasn't! And I'm fine!" Pan yelled, managing to restrain herself before she tried to cross her arms and end up killing herself.

"You're going to tell me," he ordered firmly. "I…I can't-" "Don't give me that bullshit! Nothing is stopping you from telling me what has been going on with you and this person that seems to scare the hell out of you! Now you can either tell me or I'm going to guess and this time, I won't stop!" he bared his teeth as he growled.

"This has something to do with one of your parents, doesn't it?" he asked. He could hear the change in Pan's heartbeat and in her breathing and immediately knew he was right. "Is your mother dead Pan?" Pan shut her eyes tight, holding back tears. "…Yes, she died while giving birth to me. That's what he told me…"

"Who? Your father?" he heard a single sob come from Pan. "Pan, did…did he do this to you?" "No," she said quickly. "Pan, yes he did." "NO!!" he screamed as she started to shake from her overworked nerves. "Pan, did he just do this once or has he been doing this since you were little?" he asked with no harshness in his voice.

"No! He didn't do anything! Just shut up!" she got off the bed and limped herself over to the corner where she sat facing the wall. It was so obvious to Vegeta now. Being scared of men but not harmed when a female touched her, refusing to fall in love with his son, not wanting to talk about intimate things; it was so obvious that anyone could have walked right by it.

"Pan…has he ever…" Vegeta didn't get to finish as she had already started to break down in tears. "Pan, has he ever…raped you?" the words hit her like a brick wall. 'Rape….'

********Flash back*********

"Girl, this is the last straw! You have disobeyed me for the last time, and now you're going to pay!" He grabbed her by her hair and slung her on the bed. "W-what are you doing?!" she back up as he approached her. "What I should have done a long time ago!" he got on the bed, pinning her down. "No!" she tried to get away but he was just too strong.

"This would be a lot easier on you if you just held still!" she punched her in the face, knocking her back down on her back. He ripped off her shirt. "Stop!" she was silenced by a slap in the face, then a burn as he ripped off her pants and threw them across the room. She attempted to knee him so she could run but he caught her knee before she would and crushed the cap of it. She cried out in pain as she felt it crack.

He then took the opportunity to rid her of her panties. "No, stop! Please!" she begged, slowly becoming light headed from the yelling and thrashing she was doing. "Too late!" he unzipped his pants. "Stop!" she slashed him across the face, her nail making a mark across his eye. He felt the blood trickle down his face and drop onto her stomach.

"Grrr!" he growled, forcing 3 fingers into her. She screamed out in pain. "NO!!!!"

********End of Flashback*******

"NO!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" she hit her head repeatedly onto the wall as she thrashed around as if she was reliving the whole memory. Vegeta ran over and restrained her so she couldn't move. "Leave me alone!!!" "Girl, stop! Calm down!" he yelled. "STOP!!!!" she screamed wildly, digging her nails into his arm. "Argh!" he held the pain in b/c he didn't want to let her go.

"Pan, it's me!!" he yelled. The tears were streaming down her face as she turned around and begin to cry in his chest. "What did I ever do to deserve it?! What damnit!?!" she asked him over and over. "All I ever wanted was for him to l-love me and call me his daughter but no! All he did was torture and beat me! Was I that bad of a child?"

"No, and don't ever say that," he said soothingly as he rubbed her back. "He's just sick and twisted, no one in their right mind would do that to their own child! No one in his or her right mind would do anything like that! Don't blame yourself, girl, it's not your fault. He won't do anything like that to you again…I promise."

Awe, how sad and sweet and the same time! Next chapter, she talks to Trunks and tells him everything, including how she really feels about him (gasp!)! Peace out!
