A Forbidden Past - Chapter 8
An Unlikely Hero
Everything around Stacie seemed to move in slow motion as she gazed into the eyes of the android. "Ohhhh shit," Stacie thought to herself. She didn't know if she should run and try to get back to Trunks before #17 catches her, or wait for him to make the first move. The only noise that could be heard was Stacie breathing as she thought of what to do. "Crap, I wonder if #18 is somewhere around. This isn't looking good at all," she said, beginning to panic. She could hear voices approaching in the forest behind #17 but was afraid to move to see who it was.
"That stupid bitch embarrassed me again!" Stacie heard. She immediately knew it was Heather. Heather with two of her friends slowly arrived to where Stacie was with #17. "Hey? What the hell is going on? What is the loser doing with another friend?" Heather said as she stepped up behind #17. He looked over his shoulder to see the three girls standing in a row.
"Heather, get out of here. This isn't what you think it is," yelled Stacie. #17 quickly turned back to Stacie and pushed her over a branch and into a puddle of mud. Heather and her friends laughed.
"Haha! I didn't think you'd made another friend," Heather said as she began to walk around #17. "Hmm, he's not as cute as Trunks," said Heather. As soon as Heather had spoken, #17 jerked his head and was staring at her. "But he still is fairly cute. What's your name big guy?" she asked. The android didn't say anything but continued to stare at Heather as she walked around him.
"Heather, listen to me, you are in danger! Get out of here!" yelled Stacie from the mud. #17 glared down at Stacie as she quickly shut up. Heather continued to walk around him and stopped at his right side up against the tree where she had kissed Trunks.
"Why should I listen to you? What have you done for me lately? Well, you gave me this nice little logo," Heather laughed pulling the somewhat cut up Capsule Corp. logo out of her purse. Juunanagou noticed the logo and glared at Heather. "Hey, this got your attention!" said Heather. "So are you going to tell me your name, or are you the strong, silent type?" said Heather. "Hey Stace, what's so important about this logo anyways?" she said as she put it back into her purse.
"Why should I tell you? It's not like your going to listen to me anyways," Stacie said as she stood up from the mud.
"You snobby bitch!" Heather said as she made the motion to walk towards Stacie. The android immediately thrusted his right arm up, pinning Heather to the tree by her neck, and lifting her off the ground. Heather gasped for air as she was stuck against the tree. Heather's friends freaked out and quickly ran through the forest. Stacie knew this was a chance for her to get away. She turned around and began to run through the forest, back to Trunks.
"Wait, I can't just leave Heather alone with #17! Who knows what he'll do to her," said Stacie stopping in the forest. "Man, if I go back and get Trunks, Heather could be dead before I come back," she thought to herself. She ran back to see #17 and Heather still where she had left them. Heather looked over at Stacie with tears streaming down her red face.
"Help me," she heard Heather faintly cry as she began to black out.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Stacie yelled at #17. He completely ignored her and pushed Heather harder into the tree. Stacie charged at Juunanagou with a drop kick, but he simply smacked her out of the air with his free hand. Stacie stood up and again, ran at #17. She grabbed his bandana from around neck and ran towards her house. He immediately dropped the unconcious Heather to the ground to pursue Stacie. Stacie sprinted over and around the branches from the storm with #17 close behind her. She entered her back yard and ran around the large crater while #17 simply jumped over it. "TRUNKS! TRUNKS HELP ME!" Stacie screamed as she ran towards the house. Trunks didn't hear her though. He had fallen asleep on the couch. Stacie kept screaming as she got closer and closer to the house. Juunanagou was only a couple feet behind Stacie now. He suddenly dove through the air and tackled Stacie to the ground. Stacie screamed landing on her back as the android landed on top of her.
"Get off of me!" she screamed as she struggled to get away. He simply laughed at Stacie. He stood up as Stacie still remained lying on the ground. She thought #17 had actually listened to her. She began to lift herself off the ground when he suddenly kicked her in the neck and held her against the ground with his foot on her neck. He snickered at Stacie's pain. He held his foot there as Stacie gasped for air. He grabbed the bandana from her hands and tied it back around his neck. She saw Juunanagou still standing over her as her vision became blurred, and eventually went black.
