Chapter 3……..
"Doctor is the operation over?" Asked Turlus as he entered the chamber.
"Yes, my lord. It went well, now we will see if all went as proceeded."
"How long will she be out?"
"I'll give her a shot of Emphesbia, then she should wake up in a minute or two."
The doctor shot the Emphesbia into my neck and then disposing of it into the trash can to his right. I slowly began to open my eyes. I gazed around myself before sitting up.
"Who are you all? Where am I ?" I asked as I turned to the two men beside me.
"I am Lord Turlus, and you are on my spaceship."
"Spaceship?"
"Yes, do you remember anything?"
I shook my head, "No, I don't even remember my own name."
"We feared so, You name is Son Xenia TJ. After we were attacked a piece of the ship collapsed onto you. You have been out quite a while now, but you have healed from your wounds."
"What am I doing here?"
Turlus began to walk out of the room, but stopped before the doorway, turning back around, "Why don't you get dressed and come to my chambers, then I will explain everything to you. The doctor will lead you to your room."
I nodded my head and Turlus left, leaving the doctor and me in the room.
"Come on," said the doctor, "Lord Turlus does not like to wait."
I hopped down the table and followed the doctor out the door and down a long corridor. I surveyed my surroundings. The walls seemed to be changing from green to blue magically glinting from the dim lights on the ceiling. I was so entranced by this that I ran straight into the doctor.
"Sorry," I quickly said
"Go inside . This is your room. There will be a door to your right when you go inside; that's your closet. Change and come back here. I will be waiting for you, so as to escort you to Lord Turlus' chambers."
I nodded my head and went inside, closing the doors behind me. I gazed around the room in amazement. The room was huge. //This is my room?!?!?// Everything was made from cherry wood, with gold outlining the edges. The bed had soft silk sheets. The top sheet was red and embroidered with golden roses. Each rose was different from the one next to it. I realized they were each depicting the different stages of a rose. I suddenly pulled myself away from the bed to go to the closet, wondering how I could forget Turlus. I opened the door flipping a switch to my right. I rubbed my eyes wondering if I was just imagining things. Infront of me were millions of racks with clothes of the various types hanging from them. //What should I wear? Turlus was wearing very formal clothing, so I guess I should wear a dress.// I rummaged through a rack of dresses and finally decided on a blue sleeveless dress. It was better than the others, which had puffy petticoats. I quickly changed placing my clothes into a basket to my right . I really wanted to look around the room, but decided against it, first I had to talk to Turlus. //Hopefully I'll get some answers about my past from him// I went back out into the hall to see the doctor leaning against the wall, looking rather impatiently at the ceiling. He saw me and began walking down the corridor again. We turned into another corridor. This corridor was all red from the walls to the carpet that lay on the floor. I began to feel uncomfortable as the lights in this hallway were slightly dimmer than the ones before. We reached the end of the corridor before two double doors.
"Lord Turlus is inside," said the doctor moving out of my way.
I nodded and entered the room. The room was huge, a lot bigger than mine. I spotted Turlus over in a white satin arm chair by the fireplace. I went over and sat down in an identical chair across from him. He stared intently at the fire never looking up at me. I sat there quietly, a knot beginning to grow in my stomach from the uneasiness the room created. I stayed quiet not sure if it was my time yet to talk. Turlus turned his head to me, "Sorry, I didn't even notice you were here at first."
I nodded, not knowing how to respond. Millions of questions entered my mind yet I couldn't bring myself to ask one. Thankfully Turlus continued, "Let me explain what I can to you and you may then ask whatever you would like, all right?"
"Ok," I said, hating the weak tone my voice gave.
"You have no need to fear me, I would never hurt you."
I cleared my throat, "It's not that. My throat is just a bit dry."
"Well, why didn't you tell me." With that he got up and went into another room coming back with a
glass and pitcher of water. He placed them a table to my right, and poured some water into the glass;
handing it to me.
"Here you go, if you wish to have more then just pour yourself another glass."
I took the glass, drinking down the water gratefully. Turlus returned to his chair, "Now then…..may I continue?"
I nodded, feeling quite foolish and embarrassed.
"You were given to me by your parents," started Turlus, "You were only a baby at the time. Your father, Kakarrotto, was my cousin. He was a saiyan like your mother. They were being hunted down by a terrible race of people called the Chlorbians from planet Chlorbia. They are a ruthless race of people that receives delight in torturing people; seeing others suffer in any way possible. Your father came to me, afraid that you might be taken since you were so young and vulnerable. He left with you mother and I never saw them again. Later I received a report from one of my away teams telling me that they had found them, but unfortunately they were already dead. From then on you stayed with me and I raised you like my own."
I looked down, trying to digest what he had just told me, "Why can't I remember anything?"
"The doctor thinks you have amnesia. You see yesterday we were attacked by a race know as Yardratians from planet Yardrat. I had told you to go to deck four since the deck we were on had been torn open in one sector. On the way, as I told you earlier, a piece of the ceiling fell on top of you; knocking you out. I rushed you to one of the medic areas, today you finally woke up."
"Oh, my father's name is Kakarrotto, but what is my mother's name?"
"Well, I only met her once, and it was the time they left me with you. I didn't have the chance to ask her for it. I'm sorry."
"How did they…….I mean…..do you know how they…died?"
Turlus laid back in his chair and turned to the fire, "Their deaths were quick that I can say for sure, but I can't say that they didn't feel pain before that. They had a large hole in both of their chests, it was created most likely by a ki blast. They died instantly."
I shut my eyes, as a wave of emotion hit me. I fought back my tears and clutched onto the arm of the chair. //I don't understand………I don't remember them, but I still feel so sad// I looked up at Turlus. I had expected to see some remorse in his face, yet I saw nothing. No emotion what so ever. I averted my eyes, now looking into the fire, "The Chlorbians killed them…….what happened to the Chlorbians?"
Turlus signed, "About a year later they waged a great war against another race. I can't seem to remember what race, but I heard that they had wiped each other out, leaving no survivors."
"What did my parents look like?"
"I don't have any pictures, but you father looked a great deal like me. You mother on the other hand had straight black hair and dark black eyes like most saiyans. They were both fighters, but fighting runs through a saiyan's blood so that could not be helped. Oh, that reminds me," Turlus got up and went into a room behind me. He came back, apparently holding something in his right hand. He went over to me holding out his hand, there in his palm was a heart shaped locket.
"This is yours, but I'm afraid it got a little damaged."
I took the locket from him turning it over in my hands. I tried to open it, but found I was unable to, "I can't open it."
"Yes, I thought you wouldn't be able to. I couldn't either, but I was afraid to break it if I tried to open by other means."
On the front of the locket was an X with a rose behind it, but on the back there seemed to be an inscription. It had been a little scratched out, but I tried to make out the most that I could. (A/N: the dots means that the words that are supposed to be there are scratched out)
"To my darling daughter Xenia, I want you to know that no matter……be there with you. If……, but in your heart. I hope you can……I have done, but I only did it because I love you, your mother……..I love you. Love………."
//At least I have something of them, but I just wish it wasn't all scratched// I opened the clasp and slipped it around my neck closing it. I found myself yawning then.
"You're tired. You better go to bed. There is a long day ahead of you tomorrow."
I looked up at Turlus inquisitively, "What do I have to do tomorrow?"
"Let's not worry about that now, just go off to bed. I'll tell you tomorrow, ok."
"All right," I said.
"Doctor!" Yelled Turlus.
The doctor quickly entered the room, waiting for Turlus' command. Turlus turned to me, "The doctor will help you back to your room."
"There's no need to, I remember how to get back."
"You're sure?"
"Yes, I go all the way to the end of the corridor from your room and make a right. Then I go down that corridor till I come to the first door on my right."
"Very good, you will learn your way around this place quite fast."
"I hope so, well I better go, goodnight," with that, I left the room.

The doctor closed the door after Xenia left.
"She does not remember a thing," said Turlus with amusement as he stared into the fire once again.
"Yes, the operation was a complete success."
"What of the units?" Asked Turlus as he turned to face the doctor.
"If you should need to activate them, my lord, you can access them from room 256 in section E on deck 8."
"Very good, but lets hope we won't need to activate them just yet."
