A/N: About time I updated this, damn.

Find in me
The room to breathe
Simple things
Like suffering.

Vegeta let out a loud cry, the pain traveled through his whole body. His vision was gone, every time he opened his eyes….He saw nothing but darkness. He could still hear his own screams and moans, his body felt like it was on fire, the burning was causing him to be in extreme agony.
He thought he was immune, he thought he couldn't get the damn plague. He felt the salty tears travel down the sides of his face. His lungs felt like they were full with fluid. He started to violently cough and gag like he was drowning. He was gasping for air, he found the strength to reach his hand up and claw at his throat.
He clawed until he felt his throat go numb, he punched at his chest, then lower right above his stomach. As he punched himself he coughed up something that tasted worse than bile. He rolled his head to the side, and slowly sat his head up straight, he felt with hand until he found a bowl on the dresser, he opened his mouth and gagged. Spitting out the liquid has gasped and took a deep breath. He lost all of his strength and passed out, his hand letting go of the bowl.
It crashed and shattered on the hardwood floor. If Vegeta was awake, and had his sight back he would be able to see that the fluid that came out of him was nothing but black thick sludge.
His body was rotting from the inside out.

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the Earth move
Hear my heart burst again.

How could I be so stupid? Tears ran down my face, I thought I had hope. But I had forgotten that it was in the middle of winter. Half of these plants I needed were dead, long gone until spring. My master didn't have the time. He'd be dead by then. I fell to my knees and choked back sobs. There was just no way I could save him. There was no way I could create a cure for him. He was going to die, and it was all my fault.
I had just left my old town and started to think realistically. Grey clouds flooded the sky above me. Why? I thought, why did this have to happen? I cried harder.
"Why? Why did you put me through this?!" I screamed out, "You took away everyone from me! Everyone I cared for! Now you're trying to take away the last person I have! Why are you doing this?!" I shouted towards the sky, "Do you hear me God? Christ Almighty! Give me a sign, I beg of you, as a last resort I'm begging you, if you do exist.. Please help me! Please save Vegeta's life!"
My body shook with sobs. I felt so alone, felt so useless. I never did anything bad in my life, why did this have to happen?
A loud rumble from the sky echoed above me, snapping me from my thoughts. Snow flurries started to fall from the clouds above me. How could my life not get any better than this?
I gathered myself and prayed one more time.
"Please, please I am asking you to please save Vegeta. My uncle, my parents, even my baby brother was taken away from me. My home was destroyed, I have no where to go. Vegea saved me from the bandits, whatever he did wrong in his life just please overlook it just this once. He's the only person I have left in this world, without him I have nothing. Please." I whispered out softly against the cold wind.
I slowly stood up and started to walk again, never receiving an answer back. I assumed the God I never believed in, didn't exist at all. But it was worth a try.

Take the path that leads to nowhere
All is lost again, but I'm not giving in
I will not bow, I will not break
I will shut the world away

My fingers burned as I dug through the cold, deep snow looking for any signs of plant life. With whatever luck that had been magically given to me, I actually found ginger buried next to an old apple tree. I was now searching for nutmeg in what looked to be an old run down farm.
Found it. I sighed with relief. I found pine needles and some frozen preserved maple leaves. I stood up slowly, my hands were numb as I tried to make the burning go away by wiping them on my jacket. Walking through the snow, I made my way over to too a fence post. With hope I started to dig again when I noticed vines rapped around the wooden posts.
I reached down into the whole I dug and pulled out a few leaves. I lifted them up above my head, trying to examine them in the light. Cucumber leaves! I put the leaves in my pouch. "Thank you, thank you so much." I looked up at the sky with a small smile.
Now to find sunflowers and tulips. My smile disappeared from my face. I started to think back to the village, to an old womans garden. If I remember correctly, tulips have bulbs that you burry underground. She might have some tulip bulbs buried somewhere in her garden.
I walked through the snow pacing myself, trying not to waste energy that I needed for the walk back to the village.
./././././
I looked towards my house, I couldn't hear anything. It was so quiet. My heart pounded inside my chest, I turned away and headed towards the old womans house. The snow wasn't as deep, but it was colored red from all the blood that was spilt. Holding in my breath, not wanting to smell the rancid, rotting smell. I hurried my way through town.
Breaking out into a run, when the house came into my view I fell to my knees and started to dig into the frozen soil, I looked up for a split second and froze. There were about fifteen to twenty dead frozen flowers in the garden still. A few tulips that were almost completely withered away, but the leaves were still intact. I picked them up gently and carefully, placing them into my bag. I searched a bit more and spotted a giant sunflower head laying in the corner of the garden covered with snow. Standing up, I moved closer to it, digging in the snow. The stem was still intact, and there was only two leaves.
I let out a huge sigh of relief. That was plenty, that was fine. I quickly grabbed the leaves and put them in my pouch. Turning around and taking a deep breath, I broke out into a run towards my home.
I could only hope my Master was still alive.

I'm not one for adding religion into a story, but I had to think, during this time period what would people do after they lost everything? What could they turn to? This was not added because of my own opinions about religion, because quite frankly I don't like to talk about it. This was just simply of what I 'thought' someone from this time era would do in this particular moment.
So if anyone complains, or asks about why I mentioned Bulma praying, well there's your answer.
Until Next Time
