Secrets Ch. 11
Mystery POV:
I walked down the dark corridor, past the various shades of pink and red.
This was where I felt my absolute best.
I rounded the corner, the rhythmic click of my black leather boots, was the only thing accompanying me, as I burst through the whimsical doors; and on the fire lined runway, nothing but the best of course.
I watch with a peaked interest as he laughs, whilst the demonic minions hold the green man who had first caught my interest months ago.
He can barely stand now, as black, blue, and purple learn to coexist on his green skin.
"I would watch who your loyalties lie with, if I were you Ace" came the sing-song voice from the throne on the pedestal before me.
"Take Him Away" and like that the voice was the evil that sent joyous chills through my spine, and we were alone now.
His fabulous golden eyes settled on mine, and his lips curled into a sinister smile, as he twirled his beard with one claw, the other motioning me forward.
"Father, you called?" I asked with a smile.
"Ah, yes My Love, to inform you we will fight tomorrow." I took my seat next to him soaking in the pure joy emitting from him.
"How will it feel to finally tear them apart?" I mused as I watched the pictures of them that floated around us.
"I think I will feel Grand!" I said hearing the giggle next to me turn into a maniacal laugh that filled the entire room.
He took my hand gently in his crimson claw "I agree" he whispered as his lips curl and place a small kiss on my hand. "Tomorrow we end the Powerpuff Girls for good!" His voice echoed like confetti falling over the whole room.
Buttercup's POV:
I gasped and sat up in bed clutching my arm, because of the searing pain that radiated from the finger my blood had been gathered from.
I hadn't slept much all night, because Him kept taughting my dreams.
It was seven in the morning, and Butch rolled over clinging to my waist.
"Hey Babe, you didn't sleep well either?"
I shook my head, as the pain softened …
Just then the doorbell rang and it got really dark outside. Butch and I made eye contact and ran towards the door, where we caught up with our siblings.
Brick opened the door, just as a black demon minion disappeared in a puff of black smoke and the sky lit up again.
He picked up the small red box and came back inside throwing it on the coffee table.
"Should we open it?" Boomer asked
Our thoughts were ended by Blossom's phone ringing.
"Give it to me" Brick said
"You yelling at Him is not gunna get us anywhere…" She said answering it and putting it on speaker.
"Where are they Him?" She ordered calmly
"Mom?"
"Bernie?"
"I don't where the girls are, I …" She cried very fast before being cut off by someone
We heard her scream a blood curdling scream, before a female voice came on.
"Open the box…and come to Him's lair within the next 24 hours, or the girls get it" We heard Bernie cry one more time, and the phone went dead.
"So they're all separated…" Blossom said hoding back her emotions like the leader she is, and dealing with the matter at hand.
"So they couldn't try anything." Brick added
Brick grabbed the box and tore it open, grabbing six colored quill pens out of the box a note and a scroll.
"What would you pay for your family's safety? By signing the contract enclosed you will give up everything. Your powers will be stripped away, and your life will end by my doing. But you will gain the eternal safety of your family and loved ones. Simply sign, and I will let all of this end…
So what would you do for your beloved little family? You Choose.
Love~ Him" Brick read his voice full of disgust as he finished the last words.
We all sat in silence staring at the contents of the box.
A sharp shot of pain ran through my arm, and it took all the power I had not to flinch.
This was Him's way of reminding me of our little deal.
Just as I was about to speak, I saw a hand reach for the red pen.
"Brick…" His wife begged "No" Her pink eyes pleading for him not too
"I'll do it"
We all turned our attention to our blonde haired brother
"No!" Bubbles, Butch, and Brick almost yelled
Butch picked up the dark green quill, and he twirled it in his hands.
"Are you kidding me?" I asked glaring at my husband "I've lost you before I'm not doing that again"
"Ditto" he said trying to read my eyes. I looked down and the pain throbbed in my arm.
How could he read me so easily …?
After a few more minutes of fight over whether or not to sign the contract, I stared at the coffee table and the box and all its contents were burned leaving black ash behind.
Everyone looked at me in shock, like I had killed their last life line.
"We're not signing the damned contract. We've kicked his ass before, and we're gunna do it again tomorrow!" My arm started to relax as the burning melted away "Except this time it's not the town on the line, it' our daughters."
"Buttercup's right. So we need to go to Dad's to train in the little time we do have…" Blossom said smiling at me
"That's my Leader Girl" I smiled
"So what are we waiting for lets go!" Bubbles said getting up and running to her room to get changed, and the rest of us followed her lead.
Butch pulled me into our room, and closed the door.
His face was scary it was so serious.
"What are you hiding from me?" He ordered and pleaded looking deep into my eyes.
"Nothing"
"That's Bull Shit, Buttercup"
"Fine… Do you trust me?" I asked with as much seriousness as he did. He waited before answering already knowing my answer.
"Of Course"
"Then don't worry about it" With that I closed the door to our bathroom, and turned on the shower.
The steam revealed a message on the mirror …
"Nice Job" followed by a smiley face
