Buttercup's POV
I saw a lot of people in the hallway. I peered into a room and saw Butch sitting and there was this badly burned guy on the bed, this man in white, pulled the cover over the guy and shook his head. Butch just stood up and stormed right out, Fang backed away and Sam hugged my leg.
"Why don't you go to the kitchen, I'll be right behind you...Ok?" She nodded and walked away, Fang was on my shoulders, I found him, he was in this storage room where there were these barrels, everywhere. He was humming softly...but I knew that song, I've heard it before.
I E YU I
NO BO ME NO
My gem was glowing again as he was singing, and I just...it was the weirdest thing in the world.
REN MI RI
YO JU NO GO
It was like he was fading...like there was two of him standing in front of me, he was wearing these other clothes...I think Butch was wearing those at the meteor shower...I believe so...I had to rub my eyes...but he was back to his usual...gloomy clothes.
HASA TE KA NAE
KU TA MAE
"Ah...Xaldin...Butch," I walked in, I didn't know what to say, I didn't know what to expect...I stepped back when he just looked at me with this glare, but his it softened and he just turned back.
"Oh it's you...what now? How do you like Sebastian's ship? It really is...marvelous." He sighed, I walked closer and touched his shoulder.
"It's the coolest thing I've seen so far, why not..I bet it would be real cool to be flying right next to it...why not give it a try." I grabbed his hand, but he snatched it away.
"No...thank you," He said, I could feel that edge of coldness, "Castor was one of the few people...I knew him since I was a kid...he was...How am I gonna tell his wife, Angel and his kid...I mean...He was the one that introduced us...I meant...damn it...damn it...No...what was he thinking? In fact, JUST WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING HUH?"
The way he just jumped at me, but I'm not gonna let him just talk to me like that, "What?"
"Damn it, Bella...I mean BUTTERCUP!" He just turned back around, shaking his head.
Bella, where have I heard that name before?
"This is just so messed up, I took him away from his family...Let's go to the friggin festival...It'll be like old times...If..damn it...why couldn't I? Why couldn't you just listen?"
"What? If this was about what happened at the city, I said I was sorry...I couldn't lose Fang."
"Maybe if you looked or I don't know think...you would have known that little fuzzball was under the *BEEPING* BED!"
"You act like you never made a mistake before! I'm said I was sorry, you asshole...AND I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR FRIEND OK! BUT YOU CAN'T HONESTLY BLAME ME-"
"I DO! I BLAME YOU! THIS SHIT IS ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU KILLED HIM! YOU-" He stopped himself and punched the wall. I wanted to smack the living shit out of him, I just...but...control...control...
"I'm sorr-" I stopped to hear him scoff.
"Is that all you ca say, I'm sorry."
"I messed up big...ok...I left the room...and I bet he protected me or...something happened...just tell me."
"No...just leave me alone...please, you've done enough...when we get to Dalmasca, you'll be someone else's problem."
I don't know what came over me, I stepped forward and slapped the living mess out of him, "I'm not a problem...ok...I..I...can't stand you...I hate you..in all my life I never hated anyone as much as I hate you...I'll be happy...you're like the Dark Lord...no you're worse than him, even him kissing me isn't as bad as being in the same room with you. I've never seen anything so ugly in my life." I turned around and was shocked, Sammie was looking from the door.
"Sammie, why don't we go for a treat huh," She nodded and I held her hand, and stomped away, tears streaming down my face. Fang was on my shoulders, rubbing up against my face.
In the Kitchen, or whatever they called it on a ship, Bubbles placed a warm cup of tea in front of me and a warm glass of milk for Sam and Fang, I was just playing around with it.
Bubbles or Aurora was just talking on, "You know, Xaldin doesn't have as many friends, Castor was one of the few people he could get along with."
"Big shock there?" I rolled my eyes.
"Not really, Prince Xaldin was always to himself, he had it pretty rough, first...he's cursed with wings that rip out of his back...but I don't wanna go into that...Castor introduced him to Bella, you know."
"Bella?" I looked up.
"Oh yes we were close friends, I was kinda shock when I met you," She looks through a drawer and pulls out this picture, "You two could be twins." She handed me the picture, and she had blond hair, and those brown eyes but there was a strong resemblance between us but I thought of someone else.
"Muriel's Bella." My hand started to shake. She was hugging and kissing Xaldin on the cheek, Aurora (Bubbles) was kissing Sebastian (Boomer) on the cheek as well.
"I never seen him so happy, he finally found someone who could understand him. Don't get me wrong, those two fought, Xaldin's temper was like a tempest, but she wouldn't let him win...or at least get away without a slap...but she made him so happy...they were meant for each other...then Vulcan...Vulcan killed her..."
I think my heart stopped, I had to cover my mouth...Oh no..what did...did I just do...
