"How do you think I feel?" The next day, I went to the lab to hang out.
"Hey everybody!" I sat on the couch next to my friends, who said hi to me. Then we heard a bang. We turned to see Him standing behind us. My forehead started burning like I was getting a fever. For some reason, I couldn't move.
"Hello, Buttercup. What a surprise to see you here." I started trembling.
Blossom got up. "Why are you here, Him? We didn't invite you. And why are you being so nice to Buttercup, and not us?"
"Why don't you ask her?" He grinned mischievously. Then he disappeared.
"Buttercup, tell us why!" Bubbles pleaded. I knew that if I didn't tell them, they would not talk to me until I do. I decided that the only way to stop my guilt was to tell them.
"H-he told m-me t-that I'm h-his n-niece.
"Why can't you just leave me alone?! Is that too much to ask?!"
"No, my dear niece. Your power is too valuable. You are the dust of light. The source of good."
He sent his black dust towards me. I tried to get away from it, but it kept on following me. When I flew into the kitchen, my leg was stinging with pain. Turns out that I cut it pretty badly. From this wound, I didn't have the strength to fly, and would be limping while running. I fell to the ground hard, spraining my ankle on my other leg. I hid under the table.
"Maybe I'll be safe in here." I relaxed a little, until I heard the dust come near the table.
Then I heard Him's voice say, "Come out now, my dear niece, or I'll destroy your friends!" I couldn't let Him do that! I came out from under the table and let his dust grab me.
"Fine choice, my dear little Buttercup!"
