Butch's POV

I wanted to talk to her some more...Me...I barely spoke to anyone but here I was, wishing to talk to some girl...

I soon saw Beast, Blitz, and Boomer, and we rode back towards the center of the Kingdom.

"Beast, how was your quest for food? I brought a turkey leg for you." I asked him, he looked shocked by my smile and how I just felt so cozy now.

"It was quite an adventure...I am not really hungry." He said, the three of us just gasped, stopping our horses.

"But you're always hungry!" Boomer gasped.

"Holy shit, it's the end of the world."Blitz was stunned.

Beast chuckled as he blushed, but it was pink and he had this distant look, "I just had a good time that is all."

"Me too...I have to admit...for back water village, it had some very interesting things...maybe I'll come back tomorrow."

Boomer just smiled, "We should bring Brick next time, when he's not jousting."

Countess de la Quell...I had to find out who she was...

I wouldn't mind coming back here soon...I looked up at the sky...If dad won't put me in chains.

Buttercup's POV

I did feel pretty bad, he saved me from creaming Danny to the ground for hurting my Fang. I stopped running as soon as I was sure he wasn't behind me. I can't believe I have him mother's title name, but it was the only thing I could think of. No one around here knew my mother's title, when she married my dad and they moved here, she went by Lily Rose but she was a noble, so that would explain the magic.

Just anything to keep my family safe...and my dad from more heart ache...

I looked at Fang's paw, there was a cut..

"C'mon...have gotta take you to Belle." I said and Fang tried his best to claw his way out of my gasp, "Oh stop it, you big baby, we can't have you infected or anything...and I promise, it'll be fine." I ran off, still searching for the twins, Belle was the only thing that Fang was scared of, Fang bites everyone, well for me it's his love bites but Belle...Fang would bite her so hard but she would just laugh and keep holding him. I bumped into Brianna and Bubbles met up with us, in front of Belle's place. Belle and Blossom lived in a small house, that was on the outskirts of the village.

Bubbles' POV

Oh no, I saw that Fang's adorable big paw was hurt, but even when I tried to pet him, he had his mouth opened, ready to bite. It wasn't fair, he is so cute with those big green pleading looking eyes, that sweet little face and those mitten like paws.

Buttercup knocked on the door, and Belle quickly opened and squealed, "More guest! Oh joy! And you brought Fangie? Come here you adorable little waffle!" She just grabs Fang who was trying to claw out of Buttercup's arm, but Belle grabs him and hugs him, "Oh no...you're cut...Come on you three...I just had the cutest guests here...but he left...after trying my newest creation: Cutie Pies."

Belle spun around, the house was like a cottage, with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a fireplace...hanging with many of Belle's charms and herbal potions and Blossom's healing remedies. Mina grabs a shovel like pole, the oven opens by itself with a wave of Belle's hand, and her teddy bear removes a pie from fire top oven and it closed.

"Thank you so very much Mina." Belle giggles, with a wave of hand the pie was placed in front of us and tea cups, "Now adorable Fuzzy, let's do something about that cut."

Buttercup stood up, as Belle put something in a rag and clean Fang's wound and bandaged it up, "I'm sorry, I have no time for this...Samuel and Samantha are missing, I gotta find them."

Brianna was drinking some tea and eating some pie, she was strangely silent and had this weird stare in her face.

"Oh sit down you silly Butterball, look Fuzzy is all better...and Thing 1 and 2 are sleeping in my bed."

"What?" Buttercup just ran towards Belle's room, pulling the curtain back that covered Belle's room, she quickly came back in relief, "Thank god, but I'm gonna hurt them."

"Don't be too harshy harsh, they were walking ahead and when they turned around...they said you disappeared just like Mommy." Belle smiled and sat down.

Buttercup was turning the necklace charm in her hands, that meant she was thinking of her mom, it had been...what...maybe 4 or 5 years...I have never forgiven myself for what my family did to her...This was one of the main reasons I've worked extra hard with taking caring of the tenants of Morbucks' Estates...once I leave...

"Buttercup, "I said, she snapped right out of it, she tried the pie and so did I...delicious as always. Belle worked for my parents, she is a tenant but she lived with her cousin, Blossom. Belle was about the only person that my family couldn't or wouldn't bully...Mom yelled at her once and she served her burnt stuff for two months until she apologized...my mom was on her hands and knees, I was there.

Flashback

A servant placed a burnt piece of ham, fried hard eggs, and burnt toast in front of my mother, all of our food was golden and caramel ham...

"What is this? My food is burnt! Why!"

"It's the cook, Mistress, she refuses to make you anything else." The servant said, I think they enjoyed this...I was.

"WHAT!" My mom screeched, she stood up and marched towards the Kitchen, we couldn't help but follow, except Dad, he was reading a book, I could hear my mom screaming at her, "Listen you stupid girl, you'll cook my food right or you'll pay for this."

"You have a very lovely kitchen, just look at these knives, they are like the color of rain like metallic shiny toys."

"Have you heard me? You will remake my meal properly or else-"

Belle tilted her head and smiled creepily, "Or else what? I don't like being yelled at, not at all, "She grabs a cage with a rabbit inside, "Now if you excuse me, I must release your dinner into the wild, I don't like bunnies, they're as evil as Cotton Candy, but I don't have the heart to kill this one... When you're ready to say the magic word...then we'll talk. Bye Bye now." Belle walked right passed her and us, laughing like crazy.

For two months, mom ate burnt stuff, Duchess offered her some food and then she was eating burnt stuff too. The servants were all smiles and snickering, I was just munching away.

End of Flashback

Belle smiled again, thats when the door knocked again, Belle went over and opened the door, It was Dad...We all stood up and bowed...

"Countess, what are you doing here? Brianna shouldn't you be working at the house." He asked me.

"Oh Daddy...Brianna is with me, to escort me, Mommy said it was ok," I said, My dad looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes, but he went to Belle.

"Belle, I need the usual herbal remedy, your cousin sent me up here for like-" My Dad looked over at Buttercup, his eyes widened and that twinkle became a sparkle, "Oh my, that necklace, and who might you be...those eyes... You must be Rose Lily's girl...or should I say...woman."

The way dad said it, that look in his eyes...I swallowed hard...very hard at the very horror of it...I've seen that look so many times, the way he had his fingers over his mouth.

"Yeah..I mean yes my lord." Buttercup said, she looked uncomfortable.

"How is your father and your brother...working hard."

"Yes, My Lord."

"I'm sure...Didn't your mother have twins...Fox Faunas right? How are they?" My dad was looking at her up and down, "My god, you're almost her splitting image...I bet all the boys can't keep their eyes off you."

Buttercup was blushing with embarrassment, "I don't have time for that, I have a family to take care of...Speaking of which...Belle, I have to go, I have a lot of stuff and...I've gotta get the twins back home." She walked into the room, and was holding them both, Brianna grabbed Sam quickly, so that Dad wouldn't think that Buttercup was that strong, "Good day, My Lord. Hope to see you soon or stuff." Buttercup and Brianna walked out but my dad just couldn't keep his eyes off of her.

"Oh Daddy, I will go back home with them too." I gasped at my dad's final comment.

"Oh believe me, we shall."
