She awoke with a
start as she heard a door slam. Her eyes were drifting shut again
when she
head another strange noise. It
almost sounded like a moan and then she was out of bed and hurrying
down the hall to the stairs.
She shivered as cold air from an open window raced over her body.
She
hadn’t even thought to put a robe on
and was clad in only panties and tiny white tank top. It didn’t
matter.
She had to find out what was going on-
Vegeta stood at
the bottom of the stairs gasping for breath. His left eyebrow was
black with
blood and two thin rivulets drew
stark trails down the side of his face. A similar wound covered
one
shoulder and the arm that hung
uselessly beneath it was covered in blood. Her eyes followed the
trail that
led to the door of tiny spots of
darkness on the carpet; now a bluish grey in the darkness. His eyes
were
closed and his back was braced
against the wall. She could see the blood dripping from between
his
clenched fingers.
She suddenly felt
a wave of pain clench her heart. He was trying so damn
hard! Had she ever
tried for anything so hard in her
life? To sweat and bleed for it countless times? She made
her way down
to him and touched his face where
only sweat covered his skin.
He recoiled in
shock and his head hit the wall.
“It’s only me.”
she said softly. His eyes narrowed and he relaxed slightly.
Then he sighed and
leaned back against the wall, his
eyes sliding shut again. He was too exhausted to do much
else. He
jumped again as she pressed herself
to him, her arms winding around his waist.
After a moments
hesitation he released the wall and clung to her.
