Chapter 9
Blossom awoke to a sharp scream, coming from Bubbles. Before she had time to react, strong hands grabbed around her, binding her arms to her sides. The boys were tying on thick ropes to their hands, stinging their wrists. In unison the girls were thrown back to the wall, still groggy from sleep. Urgency iced Blossom's mind, curiosity heavy on her brain.
"Hello girls." A dark voice said with a sinister grin contorting his features into a evil mask of shadows.
"You!" exclaimed Blossom, wide eyed at the familiar crimson eyes. Brick crouched down so he was eye level with Blossom, a smile still on his face. Behind him were his brothers, snickering at their victory.
"How did you find us?" Blossom's fear was muffled by extreme anger and fury. When she tried to break free of the binds, her wrists started to turn red with effort, her struggle apparent on her face.
Brick's smirk lost its place for a second, then replaced with and even greater mocking expression.
"We have our ways." Brick said coolly, brushing one of Blossom's hairs behind her ear. Blossom immediately reacted from the touch, jerking her head away. Bubbles had a blank expression on her face, staring intently at Boomer, whose eyes shot blue in the dimness. In a rage driven madness, it looked like Buttercup could destroy cities with her stare towards Butch, eyes glowing green. Butch stared right back, with a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes, otherwise completely apathetic.
All three pairs were locked in a determined staring contest, unblinking and focused. Brick lost his gaze for a moment, leaning towards Blossom in a kiss. Blossom saw his move, and tried to yank her face away, but Brick predicted this so he toke hold of her chin in one hand while caressing her cheek in the other.
Their lips touched softly at first, only slight lingering warmth from each other's breath. Brick then deepened the kiss, not leaving Blossom any room to struggle. There was a strain on Blossom's heart, but she didn't fight back. He slightly licked her bottom lip, sending a shiver of pleasure down her spine. Her lips felt swollen with the kiss as Brick drew back, an intense gaze shared between them. Anger wore away from Blossom, trading to a look of curiosity and something she couldn't quite explain herself.
Her sisters transfixed their gaze at her, wide eyed in pity or something else, Blossom couldn't tell. Brick stood, retreating slowly back into the ranks of his brothers. Quiet laughter was shared among them, amused at the girls' hopelessness.
Butch and Boomer came up to Buttercup and Bubbles, a devilish smirk on both of their faces. In unison, Butch and Boomer kissed their girls. Boomer kissed Bubbles with slight tenderness, feeling her hair between his fingers. Bubbles began to close her eyes, feeling his breath and lips.
With ferocity Butch pushed his lips to Buttercup's, much to her displeasure. Even with her super strength Buttercup could not squirm away from his steel grip.
"STOP IT!" Blossom defiantly shouted. The two boys released from their kiss, giving Blossom a aloof look. Butch gave another rough kiss, eager to cause more discomfort to Buttercup. Boomer and Bubbles also held another kiss, and seemingly enough it looked like they both enjoyed it.
Suddenly, a sharp look seized Brick's face as his head quickly turned to the partially open doorway.
"We need to move, NOW" Brick commanded while rushing out of the room. A curious glance went between Butch and Boomer, but thought better than question their brother. With slight hesitation, they too ran out of the door, not stopping to close it behind them.
Buttercup was the first to break the rope free from her wrists, starting to run after the boys.
"BUTTERCUP!" Blossom and Bubbles shouted in unison.
"Oh, right." Buttercup said, awkwardly walking back to her sisters. Soon all three of them were free again, ready for a fight.
"Lets go!""Wait a minute" Blossom tugged on Buttercup's arm as she was about to run out the door.
"WHAT!" Buttercup screamed, raging with fury.
"We can't just charge after them, one of us could get hurt!" Blossom said trying to be calm.
"I don't see why we can't go after them while they're running away!" Buttercup shouted.
"Maybe it's a trap…" Bubbles said, in a voice barely over a whisper.
"What we need to do is
"PLAN? SINCE THAT WORKED OUT SOOO WELL LAST TIME!" Buttercup yelled, sting in her voice.
"WELL YOUR PLAN DIDN'T WORK SO WELL EITHER, SO WE NEED TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE!"
"I'M NOT RUNNIG AWAY AGAIN!"
"ENOUGH!" Bubbles barked, quieting Blossom and Buttercup.
"This is crazy, why are we fighting? We're stronger than that, I know we can defeat them, we just need to put our heads together and figure it out ok?" Bubbles said, panting slightly from her out burst. Blossom and Buttercup lowered their heads, knowing that Bubbles was right.
"Well, what are we going to do then?" Buttercup said, her voice lower than before, strange in the recently loud atmosphere.
Blossom heaved a sigh, deep in thought.
"We need to figure out what their weakness is." Blossom concluded after long minutes of silence.
More silence.
"Hmmm, well they seemed scared off by something earlier…" Bubbles thought aloud.
"That's right! If we find out what it was, we could win!" Buttercup said.
"But how would we find out what it is?"
"We could start to see if there's anything outside…" they all agreed and headed out the door.
…
The dawn was still yet to approach, darkness across the horizon. A small bunny came up to the girls, its nose wiggling with curiosity.
"Well, I don't think that could have scared them." Buttercup said gesturing to the bunny.
"Look around, see if there's something that wasn't there before we came here." Blossom said, starting to walk.
"Aye, aye captin'" Buttercup said with a fake salute as they started to look for something out of the ordinary.
…..
After about an hour of searching, the sun began to rise, and Buttercup had already given up.
"There's nothing here, give up already." Buttercup sighed as she lay on the grass.
"We can't give up, we have to keep searching." Blossom said, even though she was starting to feel tired from the lack of sleep.
"Maybe it left already." Bubbles said.
"And maybe it followed them and gobbled them up." Buttercup snickered. Blossom gave a long sigh.
"Hmm, maybe Buttercup's right, we should move on, it's not good to stick around here." Blossom said.
"Of course Buttercup's right." Buttercup said, imitating Blossom. "But can't we sleep or something?"
"No, we'll sleep when we get there."
"Get where?" Bubbles asked.
"To my friend's house, it's sorta far but we'll be safe." Blossom said as she started to float up. Reluctantly, her sister's followed her into the sky.

A/N
That's all for now, my eyes are starting to hurt from staring at the screen. The things I do for you guys… (jk) Anyway, thanks a lot for not being like 'why are you taking so long?', and 'this chapter is too short!' etc. Maybe I'm really not taking long for my chapters,… whatever. Thanks to everyone who's crazy enough to read my story, read and review and all that other good stuff.
Oh, and none of the characters or anything from Power Puff Girls belong to me. Do I need a disclaimer in every chapter?
