Buttercup: Wait... so you enjoyed putting through this!?
Bella: *pops up from nowhere* HI!
Butch: *Shocked* Whoa, who the heck is that?
Bella: I'm Bella, Buttercup's daughter in the story
Butch:... -_-
Buttercup's POV
It had been a few weeks later, I knew that for sure. It may have even been over a month or so. I knew this because I was getting bigger! I wasn't really sure how long it had been, but I did know that I was defiantly pregnant. I tried to hid it from Ace for as long as I possibly could, which wasn't very long.
One day he came in the room, we both knew what he wanted. He sat next to me and grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him. My heart picked up its pace, worried that he would find out. I knew I couldn't hide it from him forever, but I just hoped I could for a while longer. Suddenly I felt him pause, he was shocked and I knew it. He pulled away from me and gave me a confused look.
"…Buttercup… what… what's wrong with you?" he asked, his voice shaking in the slightest bit. I looked away, scared of his reaction. He lifted the baggy T-shirt I had on, enough to see my stomach. I was frozen. I wanted to run away from him, I was afraid he'd yell or hit me. But despite how cruel and sick as he was, I had a hope that he wasn't so cruel to seriously hurt a pregnant teenager. He sighed loudly in frustration, and let my shirt go. He stood up wordlessly and left the room, slamming it behind him. I winced at the noise, but was relieved he didn't do anything more.
Every time I slept, I was greeted by my smiling Bella. She wore the same thing each time, but always looked adorable. She replaced my nightmares of Ace with dreams of her and I. She would tell me how much she liked Butch because he seemed so nice, and how she couldn't wait to meet Bubbles and Blossom. I made her promise to never look at my memories of Ace, so she wouldn't have to see what he did to me. Even though she would forget everything once she was born, I didn't want her to see those things.
While we talked to each other, I'd sit on the floor and she would sit on my lap. I'd listen to her and answer questions she had while running my fingers through her soft hair. To me she was perfect, she was sweet, but I could tell she could have an attitude like me if she wanted. She showed it slightly when she told me she saw Ace pulling my hair. She threatened to pull his hair when she got old enough. That was when I made her promise not to watch those memories.
She also seemed clever, a trait she would get from Ace. He had been clever with every move he made to trap me. He found my weakness and used it against me when I least expected it. Bella showed that when she suggested that I attack him right when he walked in the room. I considered it, but decided against it since my last escape plan like that didn't work.
Bella once told me she would prefer Butch to be her dad, and asked if I could make that happen instead of Ace being her dad. I told her no, but that when I got out, Butch would probably be there instead. Not that I expected Butch to claim her as his, but I defiantly wasn't going to let Bella around Ace and she'd probably see Butch as she grew up.
She wasn't even born yet, but I loved her more than anything. Even being Ace's child, I loved her so much because she was also mine. This was even more of a reason to escape.
I had to get out before Bella was born. There was no way I'd let her be born in that room, and around Ace. When I wasn't sleeping, dreaming about Bella, I was thinking long and hard.
One day, or night, Ace came into the room. He didn't have any food or water with him. I was confused; ever since he noticed I was pregnant he only visited me to bring food. I watched him slowly make his way to my bed, where I was sitting. I eyed him, knowing he was up to something. And I was right; he pulled out a very familiar cloth and held it over my mouth and nose. I struggled as much as I could, but eventually blacked out.
I was in the room, just like every other time I was asleep. I looked around but didn't see Bella. Was something wrong? Maybe the chloroform was keeping her from entering my dream. I hoped that was it anyway. Nothing happened in my dream, it was just empty. No Ace, no Butch or sisters, and no Bella. Just me, sitting in the room, alone.
After a while, I could hear Ace's voice. He sounded angry and determined. It sounded like he was shouting, "I don't care, I don't care!" But I just ignored him, I wasn't in the mood to hear him. Then it was silent again.
I opened my eyes to the room I was always trapped in. Not that I expected to wake up anywhere else. I wondered why he made me pass out if he wasn't going to move me. I briefly thought he just felt like being a jerk, until I sat up.
I froze, shocked, as I stared at nothing in particular. I put my hands to my mostly flat belly. My breathing picked up, I panicked as I felt my hands begin to shake.
He took her. I didn't know how, but he took her from me. I screamed at the top of my lungs, letting tears drip down my cheeks. She was gone. My sweet, little, innocent, unborn Bella was gone. And it was because of him.
"You've crossed the line, Ace." I whispered to myself. Then, as if on cue, he opened the door and stepped inside. I shot my head up, tears endlessly rolling out of my eyes.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" I shouted, getting up. I felt pain, but it wasn't very strong and Ace seemed surprised by this.
"Aren't you in pain?" he asked coldly. I didn't care about the slight pain, I wanted to know what he did to my baby. I got closer to him, and realized he didn't shut the door. He must have thought I wouldn't get up.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO BELLA?! " I repeated. He seemed unfazed by my yelling. I had enough of this guy. He was getting too cocky for my taste and thought I was weak. But I was furious with him and ready to get out. An idea came to mind, and I decided to go with it. I was desperate, and I didn't anything else to lose. The only thing keeping me from doing it before was the fear of losing Bella. But she was already gone.
"Answer me you jerk!" I said weakly. I took a few steps toward him and let myself fall to my knees. He chuckled coldly and kneeled in front of me.
"I did what I had to do. Did you really think I would let a baby be born here?" he sounded so cruel, and I was tired of it. I smirked, he was falling into my trap again. I lifted my head and, before he could say anything, I punched him. I punched him with all my fury. He fell back and I stood up, kicking him repeatedly like last time. He cried out, and it seemed like my kicks were more powerful than before.
He tried to stand again, but I sent another punch to his jaw. I decided to make a run for it, again. I bolted out the door, up the dark stairwell, and into the living room. I smiled seeing that the rest of the gang was nowhere in sight.
I ran for the front door, fiddling with the lock because I was shaking, and was greeted by freezing cold air and a snow filled forest. Well now I knew what season it was.
"Of course!" I shouted to no one in particular. Then I heard footsteps, I turned to see Ace struggling to stand in the doorway that lead to my room. The rest of the gang stood together on the other side of the room.
"GET HER!" Ace shouted. They all rushed to catch me, with Ace not far behind them. I ran out the front door into the white forest, ignoring the freezing cold snow on my bare feet. I wasn't sure if I was going the right way to get home, but I just wanted to get out of sight. I could worry about navigation later.
I looked behind me to only see Snake following me. I furrowed my brows, wondering where the others were. I eventually ran into a small clearing, where I was surrounded by the gang.
"When will you learn, Little Flower? Stop trying to get away!" Ace yelled. I could hear the anger in his voice, and knew that I was in for it if I didn't do something. But before I could form a quick plan, he punched me in the face, sending me into the surprisingly hard snow.
The entire gang closed in on me. They all sent punches and kicks to punish me for trying to escape again. I didn't know what else to do, so I did what most girls would have done by now, I shut my eyes and screamed. I screamed so loud, I didn't notice that the hits had suddenly stopped. I opened my eyes to see Big Billy yards away, knocked into a tree and the others staring in shock.
"Uh, Boss, I think her Chemical X is coming back again" Snake hissed, which earned him a slap-up-side the head from Ace.
"What does he mean, again?" I asked.
"It means that those Antidote X shots don't last forever. Ace would give one to you every few weeks while you slept. Putting a large amount of it in you would have killed you and Ace didn't want tha-" Little Arturo explained everything I needed to hear before also receiving a slap from Ace.
"Okay fine, that's true. But those powers are only starting to come back, you won't be able to use them as much as before for a few more hours. Unless, of course, I inject some more!" Ace said. I ignored his words, all I knew was that I needed to use my limited powers to get away from them. I let out another sonic scream and aimed at every member, sending them in various directions.
I took off running again, occasionally hopping into the air in hopes that I would fly. That never happened, so I just ran. I ran without taking so much as a glance behind me.
I found that I went in the right direction, as I slowed down just outside of the forest. I was in the open now, if one of the boys or one of my sisters flew high enough, they would see me. I stood in front of the forest panting from the running. I could see the town, it was a far walk, but I could see it clearly.
"I'm almost there" I whispered between heavy breaths. I was able to crack a small smile. I made it, for the most part anyway. But I wasn't going to let my guard down, Ace could have been right behind me waiting for the perfect opportunity.
It was then that I realized how cold I was. I was in the middle a small snow storm with no shoes, thin sweat pants, and a baggy T-shirt. I was beyond freezing, but determined to get home, to get to safety. I took one more step before I slowly fell to my knees, the wind blowing my hair in my face.
"No, no! Not now!" I said, or I thought I said it. I probably just thought it to myself before I passed out, again. No one should black out as much as I have lately.
Butch: Whoa Whoa Whoa! You did not just kill off Bella!
Bella: *crying*
Everyone but me: WHAT THE HECK BUTCHERCUP!
Me: I know! I'm crazy! I already stated that, but it happened... Sorry Bella. Come back on my Birthday cause I'll be happy so I'll update on the 10th. BYE!
Review Please! :)
