✨Beauty and the butcher🔪 (y/n) X Thomas Hewitt

"GONE"

Nubbins was captivated.  by almost every store looking in through the windows

Until we stopped at a knife/hunting kiosk with lots of hunting gear.

"Nubbins why don't you stay here a while as I look for some other girly stuff you probably won't like" I say he just nods his head excitedly

Now what to get my soon to be husband i don't need a dress or rings Luda had already told me she had that covered before she left so now what. You think as you wonder around the mall looking into the windows as you walk

Finally it hit you, and you began to search for a fine china shop knowing a new tea set would make mama very happy. Once you found the shop you scanned over all the amazing pieces of china there were green ones and purple and pink your fingers brushing them gently as you pass until you hand lands on a fancy blue set with gold detailing you pick up the little tea cup scanning over it , yes this would be perfect.
After paying for it you decided the others deserved something as well. Your sure nubbins would find something easily so you left him to his own devices, while you circled the mall finally you grabbed a pack of smokes for Hoyt, whiskey for uncle Monty, now all you needed was to pay for what nubbins wanted and get your soon to be husband something.

Walking back bags in arms to where you left nubbins he was talking the sales man's ear off as he held a small hunting knife with a resin Handel.
"Hiya (y/n) look what I found ain't she pretty" he says practically squeaking as he cradled the knife.
You give him a small smile as you pay for the knife.
"Very pretty indeed, now I think it's getting close to home time" you say guiding him to where you guys entered the mall.

You decided instead of buying Tommy something you were gonna make something for him something he"d actually use and cherish.

Handing the keys to nubbins to start the truck as you put the bags in the back, and grabbed the already opened pack of smokes belonging to Hoyt in the centre console and lighting one up for old times sake "I'm sure dear old Hoyt won't mind since I did buy him a new pack you say offering the lit cigarette to nubbins.
He takes it thanking you and pulls out of the parking lot

"Onto home" he giggles as the two of you start the journey back.

As your driving suddenly your phone goes off " the hell? I haven't had my phone for months" you say looking down at it, you're getting a call from mama?? You pick it up placing next to your ear waiting for her to start talking

"(Y/n)!??" She yells
"Mama? What's wrong why ya yelling" nubbins cuts in before I can't talk

"Mama?" You question as well waiting for her to continue

What she said next chilled your entire body sending waves of nausea through you

"(Y/n)! Hurry home we need you now it's Tommy!! He's... "sniff"
he's gone!!!!!!! She sobbed into the phone

"NOOO!!!" You scream as you joint forward

"The hell was that for?" Asked a confused nubbins

"What? What happened?" Now it's your turn to be confused as you search for your phone

"Whatcha lookin for?"

"My....my phone" you say as sweat begins to pool on your forehead

Nubbins turns to you "(y/n) you haven't had a phone since you got here, but ya were just sleeping" he exclaims watching you as a pit forms in you stomach "nubbins I know ima sound crazy but drive as fast as we're allowed something ain't right up at the house" and with that nubbins floors the gas

When you reach the house the door is wide open , your heart drops as you unbuckle and hope outa the truck. "Nubbins hand me your pocket knife and you keep your new one" he nods tossing you his older knife

The two of you slowly creep towards the house entering slowly, its quiet to quiet.
You wonder to the kitchen to see small drops of blood on the table and one of the chairs.....it's already slightly dried....so whatever happened, had to have happened after we left. Your heart beats faster with every step "nubbins?" you whisper to the man next to you he just nods waiting for you to continue "you go upstairs I'll go down" you mouth to him as you point to the stairs for him to go in that direction he nods again and creeps toward the base of the stairs you take a Quick Look around before heading to the basement. You creep down the stairs careful not to make a sound as you reach the bottom you slowly and carefully opens the heavy metal door.

After you get it opens enough for you to fit through you see a disheveled looking mama with uncle Monty only he's missing his chair and the are huddled in a corner hiding.

"Mama?!" You whisper yell running to her
"(Y/n) oh it is you" she also whispers hugging you tight

"What happened? Your not supposed to be back for another hour on these roads" she questions confused

"I had I bad feeling and so we rushed home" you answer now looking at her to answer what the hells going on .

"A car came down to the gas station after you guys left but we weren't at the station yet and so they came to the house looking for some help to find gas and such and Tommy happened to be out front and bent over doing his work and one of the guys came up behind his and startled him so Tommy accidentally punched him in the face hurting him real bad well then the others from their group attacked him. After that he took me and Monty down here to hide while him and Hoyt get the rest of em" she says silent tears falling from her face.

"How many" you say through gritted teeth
"What?" Mama says softly
"How many mama?" You say more clearly
"Five if you count the man with the broken jaw and nose that Tommy punched"

Rage bubbles up inside you as you think how 5 people attacked your fiancé without thinking you started walking back up the stairs your knuckles turning white as you grip the knife.
