I knew I was dreaming when I saw Katherine. She looked the same yet she was hollow. I slowly approached her as we were surrounded by thick humid fog. As I looked at her, I found myself crying. "I'm so sorry K-" She held her hands up, telling me to stop.
"Don't. You didn't know this was coming, I did. Now I'm here to warn you. When you wake up, all hell will begin to break loose. Stay level-headed and DON'T let your emotions make your decisions. Tell your sisters. Let them know EVERYTHING. Even the possibility of them dying."
"I will. I'll make everything right, I promise. I'll even bring you back" She slightly laughed.
"Not even in our majestic world can you bring someone back without their being a serious price. A price that I don't want you to pay."
"A sacrifice I'm willing to make" She shook her head.
" NO. You must kill the demon, do you understand. Find his weak spot and send him back to Hell. That is your only way."
"There's always more than one way"
"That is true and if you do ANY of them other than what I told you then those three endings Bubbles drew will come true. Someone you love will die." I felt the tears again as I realized I was stuck. My back was against the wall... "You stay strong, for me. I'll be in your heart and in your dreams. Just think of me then I'll be there. But please don't think with your emotions."
"You're telling me to let my emotions for Butch go."
"They are only going to kill you in the end."
"But-" She stopped me.
"Not times for Buts and no time for childish movements. My time with you is limited now. Take my advice and live Princess." I looked at Katherine's wise eyes and they seemed to disappear into the thick fog around me. I let a few tears fall as I sat criss-cross on the ground. I felt someone wipe my cheeks.
I woke up to see Butch wiping my tears in deep concern. "You okay?" This sight was glorious. He slightly hovered over me, shirtless with his muscles pulsing.. his hair was messy yet it looked so sexy. I closed my eyes, focus. I opened my eyes and delicately pushed Butch off me. My body secretly cursed me as I tried to move. The memories from last night seemed to hit me. Butch chuckled as he saw the pain in my face. "Sore?"
"I'm fine" I sat up and pulled the blanket with me. Last night was the best night even but I wasn't going to tell Butch that.
"No, you were crying. You don't cry so what ever it was. It's serious. Since I'm serious about you, I want to know what hurt you." His voice was husky and deep, so I knew he was being serious.
"I got a warning. I know what to do but I don't want to do it" My voice being to break as my emotions became stronger. Butch took me in his arms and I leaned on his chest.
"What do you want?"
"I want to live and see my parents. Have one of my sisters to rule our kingdom because I'm not fit to do it. I want to explore the world and experience all kinds of new things with the one I love. As feminine as it sounds, I want to be married. Have Katherine to be the god mother of my children because that old hag has changed me for the better. I want my sisters to be happy and for our lives to go back before that day. I'm tired of the adult one. I'm tired of holding this hatred and resentment. I've the lives I messed up and dirty deeds I've done. I just want to to be free. Butch, I just want to be free." He wiped my cheeks as my tears fell. He kissed my forehead and wrapped his arms around me and I felt his chin on my head.
"Princess Buttercup, listen to me. I WILL do everything in my power to make sure you are where you want to be in life. I give you my oath." I turned around to look at him. He was everything I thought I would never find. Yet I did. I kissed him on the lips passionately, letting the pain fade as he wraps his hands around me. I believed him yet something told me that would be my downfall. Yet round two began.
I rolled over and laid beside Butch, trying to catch my breath. "Round 6?"
"Do you think you can manage a round 6?" I smirked at him.
"I can handle anything you throw at me." He tried to pull me back in but I pushed away and took up.
"Give a girl a moment to get herself together, will you?" I walked to the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked different. Glowing almost. Not the green glow thing I do but a natural glow. I brushed my hair out and threw some water on my face. Time to look alive. I smiled at myself and held the smile as I opened the door. "Round 6, it is" As i approached the bed, I noticed Butch was gone. Something felt wrong. I didn't hear him leave nor did I hear anyone come in. I placed my hand where he laid and images flashed in my head. Butch was taken. He was taken by none other than Ed and this moment was nothing but the calm before the storm.
