Butch's pov
The wind stopped. Everything was silent. Not a single noise. Nobody moved.
I just watched Blossom shoot the love of my life in the heart.
I held Buttercup's bleeding body in my arms. All of my anger disappeared with her wind. She was so cold. Her breathing was slowing down by the second. The amount of blood she was losing was enough to fill a river. I knew she was dying. And it killed me to think about her dying. When I couldn't hear her breathing anymore I broke down. I cried and cried. I held her tighter and cried. I lost my love. All of the sadness that I've stored away for years came back and overwhelmed me. The amount of tears I cried could rival the amount of blood she lost.
"Butch?" I heard Boomer say. When I didn't respond Bubbles tried.
"Butch are you alright?"
"Alright. Does it look like I am alright? I just watched the love of my life get killed in front me. I didn't even get to say goodbye to her or tell her I love her one last time. And what makes it worse is that her own sister killed her. Buttercup refused to hurt a single hair on any of you guys, and her sister shot her."
"I did what had to be done to protect people." Blossom said so nonchalant. Not a speck of regret was inside of her.
"Shut up Blossom. She didn't attack us. You was only supposed to fire if they attacked." Brick stated. My sadness must've gotten to them.
"I should kill you. I have every reason to end your life right now." I growled.
"If you even try, you will be joining your girlfriend." Blossom said in anger.
"All the more reason to kill you." I said with no emotion in my voice.
Buttercup's pov (throughout that whole moment above)
I was bleeding in Butch's arms. I knew I should be dead soon. I felt my breathing slow down and eventually stopped. He didn't hear it, but I used my last breath to mumble, "I love you Butch"
With that I faded into the darkness.
But for some reason though I still hear everything that is going on. I even heard Butch threaten to kill Blossom. How is this possible, if I am dead?
"Because you are not dead." A voice said. I don't know who the voice was.
"Butch has the power to heal. He healed the wound without knowing. He unlocked that power when grieving. You stopped breathing though because your body will adjust and wake up when the time is right." The voice said.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am you. Like your thoughts and your conscience." The voice replied.
"Well thank you." I said. The voice left.
So at the right time my body will adjust itself. So now I must wait.
Butch's pov
There is nothing stopping me from killing Blossom. I see the fear in her eyes because she knows I am serious. She deserves to die. She caused Buttercup and I so much pain. I hate her with a burning passion.
As I walk closer to her with the intent to kill, she backs away. Her hand is shaky so she can't shoot straight. I get close enough and grab the gun. I break it in half like a stick. She seems terrified now. She starts to run.
I gave her a 10 second head start and then I chased after her. I caught her too easily. I wrapped my hand around her throat and lifted her into the air.
"Now you will know how it feels to lose your life." I whispered. I apply pressure to her throat slowly but surely. Her face is starting to turn blue. She was so close to death when I heard a voice that made me stop.
Buttercup?
Buttercup's pov
He is about to kill her. Butch is about to kill my sister.
Yes she did try and pretty much succeeded to kill me. But still my sister none the less. Besides if anyone should kill her, it should be me.
I wanted to stop him, I had to. I couldn't let him become a murder for me.
That's when I finally found my voice again and I saw the sunlight again. I was awake. Before anything I shouted loud, "No Butch."
I saw him stop applying pressure to her throat and dropped her. He turned around and saw me awake and standing.
"B-Butterc-cup. Is it really you?" He asked.
"Yes it is. I'm alive thanks to you." I said with a smile.
"H-how?" He asked.
"You unlocked a new power. Healing power. You healed my wound. My body was too far into the dying phase to stop, so it healed almost in a death-like coma state. You saved me." I said.
He started walking towards me and I did the same. After a few seconds I started sprinting towards him. I ran in to his loving embrace.
"I love you so much. Please don't ever leave me again." He said with tears of joy in his eyes. I nodded. We broke from our hug and we kissed. We kissed like it was the last time we will ever kiss. We would've kissed longer if we didn't need air.
Brick cleared his throat and we looked at him.
"That was nice of you to stop him from killing Blossom. Even though you guys have plenty reason to hurt all of us, you didn't. Thank you." Brick said with a small smile on his face.
"Yeah Brick is right. You spared our lives so we are in debt to you." Boomer stated.
"You guys seem so perfect together. I now see that. You guys should be together forever. So o ahead and live your life." Bubbles said with a grin.
"You mean it?" I asked.
"Of course we mean it. Go where ever you want or stay here. Be where ever makes you guys happy." Brick stated.
I looked at Butch and he looked at me. "You want to go?" He asked me.
"Yeah. Let's go for a little and then come back after a while." I reply. I turn to our siblings and said, "Thank you guys so much." Then I turned to Blossom and said, "See ya sis. I hope you learn how to love someone."
And with that Butch and I flew away ready to restart our lives together.
Different but finally free.
