~ Never Left ~

Butch's POV:

I sat in the limo on my way back to the capital, I had left this morning to investigate how on earth Buttercup escaped. Last night was definitely not the best night. After the lights had shut off we had sent everybody home and practically took the castle apart searching for them. Neither me or my brothers slept, we couldn't, we stayed all night thinking of some kind of solution and I had suggested I head back to the capital and see where everything started. My brothers wanted to come along but I had told them I wanted to do this on my own since Buttercup was my responsibility. " We are here my lord." I looked over at the driver who was holding the door open. I nodded stepping out and thanking him before making me way into the castle. I walked into the castle seeing it empty. Brick had managed to order everyone home so that there wouldn't be anyone stepping in the way.

I walked down the quiet halls, my foot steps echoing with every step. I walked into the servants corner and made my way down into the dungeon to find it empty and the chains that bound the green eye vampire were unlocked. " How the fuck did you get out?" I muttered under my breath running a hand through my hair in frustration. Suddenly the memory of the conversation that Buttercup and I shared the first night that she spent in here came back to mind.

* Flashback *

I walked down the steps and approached the small figure in the corner with a bucket of water in my hands. " Hey." I felt her look up at me but my eyes stayed on the ground. I set the bucket down and pulled a stool out in front of her, taking a seat. I wet a piece of cloth and squeezed the water from it before reaching for her wrist but before I could touch her wounds with the cloth she pulled away harshly. I growled " Let me clean you up." I reached for her wrist once more but again she yanked it away. Becoming frustrated I simply threw the cloth to her face and she threw it back hissing her fangs at me. " I know you're mad, I'm not exactly the happiest fucking person either but just let me fuckin clean you the hell up." she glared at me intensively before nodding slowly. I grab her wrist rough rubbing the cloth over her skin. I couldn't help but notice how her hand fit perfectly into mine, almost as if they were two puzzle pieces that belonged. I quickly dropped her hand and placed the cloth in the bucket repeating what I had done before. I hesitated as I reach to place the cloth on her face, her eyes staring at me like if she wanted to punch my skull in. I slid the piece of cloth down her left cheek cleaning the dirt off.

" You're a coward." I stopped and for once looked at her in the eyes. I drew in my hand placing my elbows on my knees. " What?" she let out a small almost mocking laugh " I said you're a coward. You act all high and mighty behind your guards and grand walls but really... You're nothing but a weak rich boy who thinks he's a man. A real man would not hesitate, a real man wouldn't need anybody to fight his own battles, a real man would know the difference between love and hate, and yet you're over here cleaning my wounds for me." I chuckled licking my lips, " at least I'm not a lying, conceiving bitch. You don't get it you never did, you disappeared from my life, leaving me to think you had died loving me. But no you didn't... And you didn't love me." Buttercup spoke up as I finished my sentence, " I DID love you, fucking shit." I smirking at her bring my finger tips to my mouth. " No, you didn't because when you love someone, you don't let anything break you apart. You're suppose to trust them. You could have trusted me! We killed the whole damn town and if you weren't so damn fuckin selfish we would have helped you with Morbucks. Yea I might have broken you're heart that day in the woods but remember you broke mine first, you left me when I was deeply in love with you. I gave you life, even though you took it from me." Buttercup stayed quiet not meeting my eyes. " Just go, leave!" she screamed her body shaking with anger. I nodded standing up kicking the bucket of water to the wall. " Good luck. You're gonna need it."

* End of Flashback *

I took a deep breath hating the memory. Sighing I made my way out of the dungeon deciding that a bath would probably calm my nerves. I walked up to the my floor of the castle and entered my room, which I kinda share with Brute, it wasn't my idea but she wouldn't shut up about it so I unfortunately agreed. I walked into the bathroom starting the bath and began undressing. I stared at my reflection in the mirror until my eyes landed on the faded bite mark on my collar bone, we are un-mated with the girls now but the mark remains. A way to tell other vampires that you were once mated. I shook my head and stepped into the bath letting the steamy water relax my muscles.

After about 20 minutes in the bath I felt clean enough I got up wrapping a towel around my waist but with everything being quite I suddenly heard a door squeak open. Curiously I walked into my room , ready to take on whoever was in my room. I was surprised to find no one in here though, I looked at my door that was still closed. If it wasn't the room door then... I look over at the wardrobe closet that's door was completely opened. I walked over to it closing and hearing the squeak I heard earlier. Once the door was closed I looked into the mirror attached to it to find a dress laid out on my bed. I walked over to the bed and picked up the dress, my eyes widen as the image of Buttercup wearing this exact same dress the say she was supposedly killed. " Butch honey." I whipped around to see Brute smiling and walking up to hug me. " What are you doing here? You're suppose to be in France with your sisters and my brothers."

Brute smiled setting her bag down. " I missed you." I looked down at the dress in my hands before glaring at Brute. " Where did you get this dress?" Brute looked at the dress and then at me. " I didn't, I didn't even notice it." I growled. " Don't lie. Where did you get this dress!" Brute flinched at my sudden burst. " I-I found it a long time ago before your mansion burned out. It-it was in the attic behind some old junk, Berserk and Brat took the other two." my jaw clenched as I tightened my grip on the dress. " Leave I have to make a call."

Nodding Brute rushed out, closing the door behind her. I tossed the dress on the bed before pulling out my phone and dialing Brick.

Phone Conversation:

Brick: Hello?

Butch: Brick, did you ever check Berserk's wardrobe?

Brick: No, why?

Butch: Because I have just discovered that Brute and her sisters were nosey and had found something very personal before the mansion burned.

Brick: And what would that be?

Butch: ... The very original dress the girls wore the day of the massacre. In PERFECT condition.

There was a pause.

Brick: * Sigh * they never really left, they were stayed watching. I'll look into Berserk's things and I'll tell Boomer to check Brat.

Butch: What am I suppose to do with the dress?

Brick: Get rid of it.

Line Goes dead.

I tossed my phone on the bed and got changed quickly stuffing my matches in my pocket before grabbing the dress and walking downstairs to the living room. I looked at the dress before tossing it in the fire place and lighting a match. Wasn't long before the dress began to disintegrate turning into nothing but ashes. " Butch..." I swiftly turned around the see Brute standing there, gripping her shoulder, " The dress was hers wasn't it?"

Hope you enjoyed that! Next will be blues and sorry I was going to add Buttercup's POV but my phone is literally gunna die so I'm rushing lol well links will be posted later on through on the story!
