Stolen Without A Trace
Chapter 21: Brick's Bad To The Bone
P.O.V.: Brick
Fuck… how the hell did that door close on its own? My eyebrows raised at that as I turned around towards Him, angrily, knowing he had done it. The bastard…
"You know, you're really scary, aren't you? Slamming doors in people's faces is your specialty now, I guess, huh?" I mock Him, but all he does is glare at me.
To be expected from an absolute ass hole…
I can hear Blossom bang on the door now, and I walk over to it to touch it, knowing it wouldn't open…
I frown as she screams out my name. she sounds so… so desperate. So panicked…
That can't be good. Her cries make me even more nervous. What was wrong? I mean, sure it wasn't cool to be locked in a room with the ever so devious Him but…
I could handle myself. So … her panic was strange to me. Where did it come from? It made me wonder if…if she knew something I didn't.
I bite my lip as I heard her speak…her yell out my name.
'Blossom…' I thought gently, and wished to speak them aloud… when I realized I couldn't. I couldn't say anything!
My eyes widened as I felt myself being… controlled! I turned myself around, towards Him, unwilling, may I add, and started to walk towards Him!
D-Damn this bastard! He was using some sort of mind control on me!
'How do I get myself out of this one? I can't even speak!' I thought, panic rising in me. Was this the reason Blossom had panicked? Did…did she know this was going to happen?
If so, why didn't she stop me! And why had she been acting so weird once she saw Butch?
Damn it, I could use my brothers right now…
But they were on the floor, sleeping their asses off! Crap…
"Sooo glad you could join me Brick!" Him cooed evilly and I wished I could growl at him… my face was neutral, but I was screaming on the inside.
"You obviously can't move for a reason, or speak. So, why don't I get right down too it, hmmm?"
Crap, I really fucking hated this guy! What was he up to now?
Him smiled big, his ugly teeth bearing. I was close enough to Him to smell his horrible breath… which reeked of garlic and horse manure.
UGH! I felt sick…
"I'll give you… one last chance Brick. Honestly, I see potential in you! I don't want any of it to go to waste! Honest I don't!"
'LIAR.' I thought, 'Filthy stinking liar!'
His eyes narrow knowingly at me, as if he could hear my thoughts… and he probably could.
GOOD- let the bastard hear me!
"I think you need to think this over Brick. You see, I've noticed your…destructive behavior as of late, and I just don't think it's good for a growing boy your age to fall in love! Specially not with a Powerpuff! Why not keep that Sally girl? She was good and evil! No? and by good…I mean good in bed." he smiles, trying to act all 'buddy buddy' with me, but I'm not buying it.
'Because ass wipe, I'm not in LOVE with Sally. Now take your lies and shove it up your ass where they can burn. I'm sure it's over a million degrees in there anyway.'
Him snarled at me at that moment and I knew now for sure Him could hear my thoughts.
"Listen to me ya little cockroach! I'm giving you a choice! Either stop what your doing and correct it willing… or I force you to do it. I can't have any of my-I mean… our plans on delay here!" Him bellows out at me, his eyes intense on mine.
Fuck…this guy was grilling me! I caught the part where he said 'my plans'…and then changed it.
'What the hell do you mean by 'correct it'? and what makes you think I'll ever stop loving Blossom? To please you? Please! You're a bastard who only wants one thing- power. You've been using my brothers and I this whole time, using us to conquer the world slowly and surely… just so you could dominate it after we finished claiming everything. I'm not blind to that anymore. Sorry if it's not going 'your way' ass hole, but it's not going to happen at all anymore! Sucks to be you, doesn't it?' I wittily think up and he's literally fuming now, steam rolling off his red skin.
"FOOL! I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS!"
'Technically, they weren't words…just thoughts.'
"SHUT UP YOU LITTLE BASTARD! I GUESS I HAVE NO CHOICE NOW! …NOW? I'LL MAKE YOU DO IT… WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" Him roars out and suddenly…I fall to the ground, completely passed out…
The last thing I hear before I do, is Him's manacle, crazy, and cursedly evil laugh fill the air…
A FEW MOMENT S LATER!…
P.O.V.: Blossom
I was standing now. I knew what was going to happen next… it had been an hour. A full hour had gone by and nothing was heard from in the room.
The process…was complete. My Brick, the Brick I knew and loved so… so very much… was gone. Vanished… into nothing.
He was back to his old self, the self that hated me so much…wished nothing more but than to kill me and get rid of me. Brick would do it too…
However, I knew it wasn't Brick that was to blame. He will forever remain mine… deep in my heart. I won't hate him for anything he does to me today. How could I? I never hate anyone- including Him… although he comes damn close.
Where have I said that before? Gee…I wonder…!
I stood tall, my back straight, the tears gone from my eyes and thoughts now. Now, all I could think about what I was to do about all this. How to make things right.
I wasn't a heroine anymore, at least I didn't feel like one after even letting this happen…
BUT… I was no villain. That was obvious. I wasn't going to stand back and watch Brick do this for Him in vain.
Him wanted me gone, dead, and out of the picture. He'd probably do the same thing to my sisters once I was gone. But…
I wouldn't allow that to happen.
With a determined face on, I looked down at my bag. I had zoomed upstairs about 30 minutes ago to get it. I wrote everything I planned to do down, and everything I could recall that was going to happen.
I had also written a few other things…
One of them being a lengthy note to the professor and both my amazing sisters. If I dropped the bag anywhere, I'm sure they'd find it and recognize it to be mine. Then, they'd find this note…
I did my best to not choke up as I pulled out a red hair piece and tied my hair back into a ponytail.
I needed it not to get in my way…
Taking a deep breath, and closing my eyes to steady myself, I remembered Brick. I saw his eyes, those beautiful red eyes I have loved secretly all these years. I saw his face, his well sculpted and handsome features. His very pale skin and the few freckles he barely had on his cheeks compared to me…
His amazing sunset colored hair that wasn't too long or super short, always kept in a low ponytail and covered by that red baseball cap…
His amazing body that was so fit and strong, his hands that could be strong and powerful, but also soft and soothing.
But most of all, I remembered the love his gaze… the one I never thought he was possible of giving back. He had proven me wrong…
I wanted to remember that. Out of everything else… that was the thing I wanted to remember the most.
The way he was…
I gulped and with as much courage as I could muster, I stepped forward, towards the room. I knew now, that the door would open for me… even though half of me wish it wouldn't.
I laid my hand on the icy doorknob and stared at it for a bit, hearing nothing at all but my own breathing and the sound of my obnoxious heart beat in my ears.
I nodded to myself once…and opened the door.
Like I thought it would, it opened alright.
My eyes widened at what I saw though. It was… highly unexpected! I had not seen everything in those nightmares in mine, and this was one of the unseen things. I guessed I'd have a few more surprises today as well…
Inside the room, my sisters and Brick's Brothers were piled in a corner, pushed aside like bags of dirt. I hated the site of it… But that wasn't all.
The stone floor was a bright, glowing, neon red, and there was a huge cocoon in the middle of the room, lying horizontally. It had a spider web type feel to it, because it stuck to the walls and was suspended in mid air because of it.
I gulped, stepping into the room more, knowing…
Brick was inside that cocoon.
Him was crazy. Yet, very much so like Him's usual way, he loves to over do everything and make things dramatic. I also knew he was trying his best to scare me and freak me out
Well, to be honest, it was working.
However, being brave doesn't mean not being scared. It means… facing those fears.
Which was what I intended to do.
I was in front of the cocoon now, staring down at it. It was suspended slightly above wear my waist was.
I wouldn't dare touch it, so instead, I zapped at it with my laser vision, cracking it open to see Brick was inside of it. But… first?
"EW! SPIDERS!" I yelped out, my eyes widening as I saw about a thousand black widows irrupt from the cocoon!
OOH THAT HIM!
I floated in my spot in order to avoid contact with them…
And I heard a very familiar laugh.
"…Brick." I breathed out as he suddenly seemed to burst out from the cocoon and stand there. His eyes were wild and intense on me… and full of… hate.
I gulped, my eyes becoming sad at this. No Brick…no…
"He he, looks like you remember me, eh? Well guess what? I remember you…and I remember hating you." he smirks deviously at me and I frown at this even more.
"…Nothing else Brick? Nothing else but …hate?" I question, always hoping in the back of my mind… maybe there was some good still left in him.
Brick merely frowns at that and reaches for my wrist. He grabs it- his hands harsh and foreign to me now, and slams me against the wall. He's close to me, but I feel no delight in it… no love.
He snickers evilly as he stares at me, my eyes pained. The spiders have crawled right out the door and proceed to go up into the lobby…
"Fuck no! Why would I feel anything more for…" he looks me up and down, but unkindly, his face sneering, "…You?"
Those words hit home and I pull myself together and push myself off the wall and fly us into the one directly opposite of it. This time, I'm pinning him to it. I can tell it catches him off guard, and his eyebrows raise at it, but then makes a pissed off face. He even growls at me. However, I'm angrier, and I can feel the heat radiating off of me as I say these words…
"Brick…! listen to me good, and listen to me well! I… I love you. Okay? I love you! You must know that! I know you don't understand- you've been brain washed by Him! You wouldn't understand! But just know that I'll do whatever it takes to get you back to normal again…whatever the cost! It's.. it's the only thing I owe you anymore. The only right thing left for me to do…after letting it happen…" I want to say more…so much more! But before I can he…he smacks me harshly in the face! It causes me to fall onto the red glowing ground but thankfully, I catch myself with my hands that hit the ground first, my hair flowing after me.
I gasp at his violence… my eyes wide and my throat burning, just aching to release sobs and fits of tears…
"B-Brick…" I whisper out brokenly, hanging my head low, my back to him.
He grunts and folds his arms.
"Stupid Powerpuff! You really are dumb, ya know that? You got some nerve! I swear you do! Love me, eh? Babe, you know what I love?" he suddenly smirks big, his eyes twinkling with a strange sense of excitement…
"…Beating the HELL out of YOU!" he yells aggressively, and suddenly stomps down on my spine, causing me to scream out in pain, and my arms to give way. My chin hit's the floor first, then my chest, and I can't hold back at least one tear from falling from my eyes…
I wouldn't give up though. E-Even though his words were cruel, and ever so harsh…
I- I wouldn't stop!
"N-No Brick.." I mumble out through pain while he laughs at my agony, my cheek pressed against the floor tightly.
"… you love m-me too… you just don't know it." I mumble again, trying to look towards him, but can't see behind his foot on my back..
"oh yeah Bitch? Well guess what? Honey moon's over! It's time to wake up and join reality!" he growls out aggressively and takes his foot off of me and hauls me up by my hair.
I scream out in pain and shake my head no, but that only makes it worse…
I know what was next… I understood the scene that was about to happen, because I had seen it in a dream…
The same night I had my first make out session with Brick too…
His eyes intensified on mine as he let go of my hair and put strong hands onto my shoulders. They squeezed tighter than I recalled in the dream, and I guess that's why I screamed out in agonizing pain…
"Let me go!" I screamed, "Let me go!"
His eyes were deathly, those beautiful ruby reds staring into my terrified ones…
He seemed to smirk at my attempts to be freed and even chuckled a little to himself, darkly of course. He was enjoying the pain and suffering I took from him, the fool I must've looked like to him in his eyes…
Just to play along with the whole, 'I love you' theme, he says…
"Never again…Blossom." his voice ever so menacing and spine chilling. His hands were so cold… and his held the image of hell fire in them. They weren't the same anymore. They were how they used to be when Brick was younger…full of hate and anger.
Keeping his promise, for now at least, he holds onto me as he zooms off and takes me out into the New Delhi air…
If only to be greeted by none other than Him, himself…
But this time? Him was no ordinary version of his weird self…he was worse.
He was the huge, red skinned monster I had seen in my dream. And better yet?
Brick flew me straight into his claws…
