Chapter 22: Heading Home
Butch:
We didn't really do much after we woke up this morning. But we all met and talked about a way to get out of here and how to get home. The girls had found a map for where we were. We were about fifteen to twenty miles away from our pack territories. We devised a plan of how to get out of here. Now we were all enjoying our last dinner before we begin to leave, the girls agreed to do a group show for our last dinner at the lodges.
Boy Like You: Ke$ha ft. Ashley Tisdale

They sounded amazing! They all smiled and began to laugh together. I love seeing Buttercup smile like that. She looks so happy. She seems like she could brighten up any dark, cloudy day with that smile. That and her spicy attitude makes feel like I'm going crazy off of being around her. She is more than just a girl that can kiss, she is someone I could see being around 24/7. She has a beautiful smile, gorgeous eyes, soft hair, incredible female features, but I like her spicy, badass, spunky personality that makes her seem like this indestructible person that could and would take on an army on her own.
We clapped and headed to grab what we could out of the stuff that we wanted to bring back home. We put the clothes in some makeshift cases and all left. We began to walk carefully through the woods, making sure to watch out for anyone that could be lurking out here. It may be nighttime, but we can't be too safe. We quickly catch up to a railway, a map said that it should lead past the Jefferson Pack, from there we'll head home. We just have to jump onto the train and then jump off of the train when we get to the Jefferson Pack.
We quickly ran through the trees, the girls together in front of my brothers and I, we didn't want them to be behind us because we wanted to keep an eye on them. We wanted to keep them safe and they hadn't argued, they said that they needed to get home.
Buttercup:
The train began to roll past us when we reached the tracks. We saw an open train car that was open, my sisters and I quickly jumped onto it. The boys ran alongside it and then jumped right into the car with us, it was practically effortless. The boys grabbed onto us and pulled us all down to sit next to them on the floor of the train car.
"I'm happy that we'll finally be heading home and out of immediate danger. I mean we won't have to worry about hunters trying to shoot us, badgers trying to attack us, or having to sleep in the cold any longer." Bubbles said smiling. I had to agree, but I was going to miss all the fun that I've been having, I'll especially miss Butch. I know that I'm the tomboy, but he's not as bad as I first thought he was.
"You know we could ride a little further and hope to find another stop. I mean we could hang out for a little longer before going our separate ways." Boomer suggested, his brothers' eyes lighting up with their agreement.
"We would, but we have a lot of responsibility to our alpha and our pack. We have to go home. If we don't, then we're leaving our father all alone and we can't do that. Not after everything that happened to our mother, we can't put him through that." Blossom said being the voice of reason. I could hear the shaking in her voice, the part of her that wanted to just screw responsibilities and have us just stick around with these three boys. It was almost heartbreaking how much we wanted to just stick with them.
"That makes sense. And besides, we can't leave our father all alone either. And we have too many responsibilities to even keep track of." Brick said rolling his eyes and making us all smile and laugh a little. It felt good to laugh right now.
"We're almost there, get ready to jump!" I said as we all got to our feet. The boys put their hands up. My sisters and I looked at them, showing our apparent confusion.
"Let us go first, that way we can help if need be." Butch said as we all nodded. The boys leapt out of the train car and we followed once they were securely off. They caught us enough to make sure that we didn't slip and fall on our faces. We smiled and we all began to walk. The Jefferson Pack, allies to both the Jojo Pack and the Utonium Pack, so we don't have to worry about invading another pack's territory.
We walked in silence until we reached the separating portion of our journeys. The Packs were down different long paths, so we have to say good-bye to the boys and head on home. We all stop together and don't make eye contact with the boys. Finally I couldn't take it anymore, I walked the little distance between the boys and us, and pulled Butch into a rough good-bye kiss. His hands went to my waist, pulling me closer to him. I could hear my sisters kiss his brothers, we all ended up separating at the same time.
"Good-bye." We all said as we hugged them, trying to keep the tears at bay. When we let go of each other, my sisters and I turned toward our path and began our walk home. We heard the boys leave after a few minutes, they had watched us go, and the minute they were gone we took deep breathes and walked home faster.
We walked through trees, bushes, and lots of snow. It was a long, slow walk home. But soon we saw the edge of our territory. We stopped and looked to each other, a smile finding its way on each of our faces. We began to run home, going as fast as we could to get there. When we were close enough, we began to yell for someone, anyone. Luckily people heard us, soon everyone was rushing to us to greet us home and make sure that we were okay and real.
Our father ran to us and pulled all three of us into a big hug. We didn't argue, we actually held onto him as tightly as we could so that we would know that he wasn't going to slip through our fingers. When we all broke apart, we started to walk home. Robin was there when we walked through the door. She hugged us like our father had, we all ran to Bubbles' room to talk and catch up. Soon we fell asleep on the floor of Bubbles' room.
"Morning Blossom, Buttercup, Bubbles! It looks like we fell asleep on the floor. How are you three now?" Robin asked when we all woke up the next morning. We all smiled at her and rolled our eyes. We all got up off the floor and stretched. "Hey, you know your father won't be around for a few hours, so we could go to that party at Jeffery's place. It's only a small walk from here." She suggested. We had told her in great detail what had happened between us and the boys. She knew they would be at the party as well as we did, so we smiled and nodded our agreement, quickly getting dressed.
We talked as we walked through the woods until we reached a loud party that was being thrown at a very nice house. Jeffery was a guy from a different pack that always seemed to be getting in trouble and then throwing a party, and then getting in trouble for throwing a party and so on as the cycle continues.
As we walked, we talked about what had been going on between Robin and Mitch. She had told us that they had been together, vaguely. So now was our time to press for details. And she didn't spare us as she explained everything. We laughed when she explained details in an exaggerated and dramatic tone. It was completely hilarious when she told us that he had accidently ran into a tree as a wolf because he was paying too much attention to Robin and what she was doing instead of where he was going.
We finally made it to the entrance of the party. Jeffery immediately greeted us, kissing all of our hands in a manner to mock manners. He was very big on not using manners when they really shouldn't be ignored. But everyone put up with it because he had one of the best parties when he was in trouble, the more he was in trouble, the better the party.
"You do know that my mate will kick your ass if he finds out that you even touched my hand." Robin said in a serious and fun-loving tone. Jeffery shrugged his shoulders and shook his head a little.
"Well, then he shall never hear about it from my lips. I don't know about your lips, but mine are sealed." He said in a calm tone before he turned his attention toward my sisters and I, who were trying to not laugh. "And what brings the three goody-two shoes alpha girls to my lowly and… mischievous party? Finally figured out that you all are hopelessly in love with me? Don't worry it happens to every girl." He questioned in fake intrigue before smiling and laughing a little.
"Yeah, no. We're here because we want a little fun. Sitting at home and staring at the ceiling or talking about where we were and what happened isn't exactly what we want to do for the whole day. So we decided that your party is the perfect place to get away and have some fun. You're not going to kick us out are you? We would hate to have to tell people that you're only allowing certain people to join into your parties." I said in a fake concerned tone.
"Of course not. I'm not that stupid or suicidal. I'm just making sure that you're here of your own free will and not because you were dragged here against it. I would fight off an army were they to come for you three, I hope you understand that." He said striking a fake chivalrous pose. We all laughed a little and said our good-byes to join the party.
To tell the truth, my sisters and I had come to this party to see Brick, Boomer, and Butch. My sisters and I had decided that we wanted to try to have some kind of relationship, even if it has to be a secret, with the three boys that saved our lives and stuck with us while we were being hunted, literally. They're worth it, at least we believe that they are. That's when we saw them. They were actually walking our way, a little further and they would be right in front of us. But they weren't alone.
They each had two girls holding onto their arms. Brick had two blondes, Butch had two redheads, and Boomer had two brunettes with them. We thought walking away from them to go home for the night was almost heartbreaking, but we were wrong. Seeing Brick, Butch, and Boomer with girls hanging off of their arms was more heartbreaking than anything in our lives. Now we know what it feels like to have our hearts break into many little pieces. My sisters were brought outside by Robin, but I told her I'd catch up.
I walked up to them, made sure they saw me and knew that I was not happy. They all looked too stunned to talk. But that's completely fine. I don't need them to talk, I need them to hear me. I need them to hear what I have to say, not say a bunch of meaningless stuff.
"You three are the worst people I have ever come to meet. You act like you care one minute and then when you decide that something isn't interesting enough for you, you just move on and don't care if it hurts someone or not. You know my sisters and I actually came here, a place we would never usually come to, just to talk to you, just to see you. But of course we didn't expect to see you three with two girls each. Sorry, we didn't think you could be capable of such a low blow, but it looks like we were wrong." I yelled at them, forcing myself not to cry. I wasn't going to let them see me cry. "You three are the most careless and conceited people we've ever met. And if any of you come anywhere my sisters and I, I will make sure that you are torn limb from limb, slowly." I said before turning and starting to leave.
"Buttercup…" Brick said in a 'what are you talking about' tone. I turned back to face them again, furious with them for even thinking they could get away with something like this easily.
"NO! We NEVER want to see you three again!" I yelled before pushing my way through the crowd to go home. I could hear someone following after me, but I didn't care anymore. I ran outside and met up with my sisters. We immediately began to run home. And the minute we got home-Robin had stayed to hang with Mitch-we all went to our rooms, slamming our doors. The minute my door was closed, I broke down. I fell to my knees, breaking out in tears that I could no longer hold back. I could hear my sisters crying in their rooms as well.
