Buttercup's Pov.

"Yea, I'll have another, Will."

Ugh this is, what, my 21st drink? Why does mom take this? If Brick was here, Mathew wouldn't even exist. Mom won't let me do anything all because my powers haven't "officially" come in. I'm only 15, I shouldn't be drinking 21 martinis on a Wed.

"Hey baby can I buy you a drink?" I gagged.

"No slob!" He grabbed my hand and said,"Maybe a dance then?" His breath reeked of alcohol. I coughed and waved my hand to clear some of the smell.

"I said 'No'!" I punched him square in the face. He let go of my hand to hold his nose. I jumped off my seat and ran out the back door. I was wearing a long black dress with a few green sparkles here and there, plus my green wedges so it was complicated to run but I ran anyway. I ran out the back door into the alley behind the bar. I ran into a wall, or at least I thought it was. I looked up to find my older brother, Brick. I didn't have time to take him in, I ran behind him, hiding my delicate figure. The man came out and looked at Brick with a evil glare.

"A buddy I saw her first! So just move along, Pal." He said slurring every word. I could tell Brick was mad, no pissed. Nobody, but mom and I, were safe when he was mad. Brick did a low, slow chuckle," And what do you plan on doing with my younger sister?" The idiot smirked,"A little dancing, few drinks, and after a trip back to my apartment." I could tell Brick was beyond pissed. I peeked out behind Brick, glaring at the dumbass who just admitted he was gonna rape me to my older brother. I also got to take him in he had a long, straight, greasy, slick-back hairdo, a scraggly mustache, a colored vest-jacket, a pair of shades and fangs. I couldn't tell what he was but I knew one thing he was...dead. Brick turned to me and said,"In the trunk of my car, there's my 'special bag'," he winked at me,"grab it and come back. I need to teach him nit to mess with my sister." I knew what the 'special bag' was we had used it many times before. I looked at brick and realized Brick's eyes slowly started to turn into a darker shade of red, almost black. My eyes did the same.

My teeth started to sharpen, all of them. Brick grew fangs. We both grew claws, sharp ones. And out smiles tuned into evil smirks that would give Satan himself chills and nightmares. I did as was told and came back. Brick opened the bad and pulled out some rope. We walked slowly towards the man, cornering him.

10 min. Later

Brick and I had killed, yet another,person. We did torture him for a while, we stabbed him in the stomach and let the blood drip onto the ground, letting him die very slowly. Then we took the knife from his stomach and used it to slice a vertical line on his neck, causing him to bleed faster but still dieing slowly. Finally to finish him off we took the rope and hung him from the fire escape to clog his blood from flowing anywhere through his body. After him being dead for 3 min. his blood splattered out of his stomach and neck onto our clothes. We smiled our blood thirsty looks leaving our faces. We left the body where it was, twirling with the wind. As we walked back to Brick's car, we changed into something else. I changed into some green boy shorts, stopping at, my mid thigh with black tennis shoes and a green black checkered shirt with a thick black belt around my stomach. Brick changed into a Red and Black striped shirt, black pants with a chain hanging from the right pocket with flames around the bottom of the pants' legs, and red tennis shoes. We got in the car, threw our bloody clothes into the back, heading towards the forest. We were talking about the guy we just killed like it was a common conversation.

We laughed,"Omg did you see his face when we cut off his fingers and toes?" Brick said laughing. "Na that's nothing compared to when he said,' Have mercy!' Yea right we will!" We laughed then waited for it to quiet down. "So when did you get back in?" I said looking at him with seriousness in my face. He shrugged his shoulders," Few hours ago, mom said I'd find you'd be at the bar."

"What did you do when you first got in?" I asked, smiling because I already knew the answer.

"I walked in on Mathew beating mom, killed him." I smirked.

"So mom had a good lunch I presume?" We laughed and both said," How many kills did you get?" We laughed again but softly, Brick said I could go first.

"Uh let's see you left a week ago so 8...teen." I blushed as his eyes bulged.

"18? Wow kid that's amazing! I only got 12! Did your powers come in?" I looked down, depressed,while I shook my head no. He was constantly glancing at me from the road.

"Hey it's okay, they'll come." I sighed and smiled," Oh we're coming up on the clearing! Can I do it please?!" I say jumping up and down like a child. He rolled his eyes and nodded his head. I said,"Yes!" We got out the car grabbing some matches and gasoline from the trunk. Brick poured all the gasoline all over the car, careful not to get some on himself. I smiled as I lit the match and threw it at the car. The car was instantly in flames. We smiled as the car exploded. After watching we went to the lake to put out the remaining flames. After it was nothing but black rubble and burned car parts, we started for the woods. Brick and I were walking when I shivered. He glanced at me with concern filling those crimson eyes I've known since the day I was born.

He asked,"Do you just wanna teleport home?" I nodded as he hugged me, we closed our eyes as the wind started to pick up around us. When we opened our eyes we infront of the house. I pulled out the key and opened the door to reveal our living room. As we walked I noticed blood spots everywhere, I stifled a laugh,"Nice job on clean up." We laughed softly and walked upstairs. Mama's door was wide open, she was sleeping with blood around her mouth. We looked at each other,rolled out eyes,and Brick closed the door after we whispered,"Night Mama." We walked to Brick's room and to his dresser. We grabbed some pjs, pushed the dresser to the left and walked through a small entry way. As we neared the bottom of the steps there was a small room with a small fireplace, 2 chairs, a small table, and a mini fridge. I was in pjs; A green midriff top, with dark green pj pants with nothing on them, and black ankle high socks.

Brick was wearing the same thing except with no shirt and in re, and his hat was on the table next to a ripped opened envelope. I got us a sode; Brick a cherry coke and me a regular sprite. I looked at the envelope and asked," What's that?" nodding my head in it's direction. Brick sighed,"It's a discipline letter from the Monster Criminal Department." I raised one eyebrow,"Us?" he nodded. "We have to go to a...Academy." My eyes practically fell out of my skull.

"What?! For how long?" He sighed,"Until graduation. But don't worry we will have the same dorm."

I ran my hand through my shoulder length hair, blowing air out of my mouth,"When do we leave?" He started at me for a small amount of time,"3 days." He said with nothing but seriousness walking his face. We looked at each other because we were going to high school. But not any high school, a monster high school.
