Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Survival ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

This is an AU fic set immediately after the end of DragonBall. The main coupling will be Vegeta and Bulma but in an attempt to strive for something a little more realistic than your average `straight-from-Earth-and-into-Vegeta's-arms' fic there may be slight twists and turns along the way. Also this will be dark, at times very much so. Be warned in advance that my vision of this unknown universe is not a pleasant one. If you've no problems with that then, please, follow me as we explore a completely different world where love may still blossom… Or perhaps it may not.

 

 

Disclaimer: I don't own DragonBall. If I did the main character would be Vegeta and Goku would be his bitch.

 

 

 

Survival

Prologue

By Ariel

 

 

You couldn't even imagine this pain. A parasitic self loathing that boils within, destroying everything - heart, soul, mind - from the inside out. Spreading like a cancer and rotting all it touches with lecherous fingers, fuelled by hate, pity and fear, until there's simply nothing left.

 

Can a soul, any soul, possibly recover?

 

Would they want to?

 

I want to believe someday it will end. I want to believe I'll wake up and this will all be some horrendous idea of a joke, a nightmare sent from the very devil himself. I want to believe smiling or the simple concept of happiness is still within reach. I want believe… and hope and dream and pray and smile and dance and love. I want to. But I can't.

 

Is this coward's way, this pathetic, broken, obtuse move, really my only option?

 

The real question is: do I even have to ask.

 

My name is Bulma Briefs and inside I'm already dead.
