The Red String (Part 2.) | 4.

(Pierce's POV)

At McDonalds

I was texting Ava when Leif just jumped on top of the table randomly and started yelling "YO EVERYBODY LISTEN UP! NONE OF Y'ALL BETTER TOUCH THIS MAN RIGHT HERE!" He pointed to me. I immediately blushed then face palmed. Leif continued, "PIERCE IS MY BOYFRIEND AND NOBODY BETTER MESS WITH HIM OR I'LL KILL YOU OK?!?!?"

"LEIF GET OFF THE TABLE." I said loudly. He got off. "Come on let's go." I said. "Aww, but I like the chicken nuggets! :(" Complained Noi. " We're leaving now!" I replied.

At the apartment

(Asch's POV)

I've been here for about 15 minutes. Nothing. I was kinda starting to lose hope in this whole idea. I swear once I get back home i'm murdering Ava if this plan doesn't work. "YEAH CUZ I'M A BAD BOY. I MIGHT HURT CHU. I NEED A THERAPIST." "HELLO?!?!? AVA?? IS RHYS THERE?!?!?" I screamed into the phone.

She replied, "God Asch stop yelling into the phone so much, and yes he's here. He just went into his room. Now just wait a little bit longer-" "Oh, great, because I haven't already been waiting here for like, EVER." I replied angrily. "Asch, do you want this plan to work or not?" She asked me. "No." I replied sarcastically, "Of course I do!"

"Then be patient and stop yelling into my ear!" Ava sounded mad when she said that. I think I pushed it too far. I'll leave her alone now, I think iv'e done enough. "Sorry Ava, I...I'm just worried about what he'll say when I tell him..." I said worryingly.

"Asch, it's okay, and i'm sure he'll return your feelings." Ava replied. "Thanks Ava." I said. "Anytime. Oh! Rhys just walked out of his room I think he's looking for the clue to find the string!" She replied. "Okay! I'll tell you of what happens when we get back." I told her. "Alright Bye." "Bye"

(Rhys's POV)

(Before Asch and Ava's conversation)

I just got back from the place Ava sent Pierce, Noi, Leif, and I to. I don't know why Asch didn't come. He wouldv'e loved the fries. They have white ice cream, they call it va-niii-lA. I like the ice cream Ava buys more but it's okay. I walked into my room and to my suprise, there was a small piece of paper on my bed. I picked it up and unfolded it. It was a note. It said:

Dear Rhys,

I put this on your bed as you/we were leaving, I wanted to tell you something and also ask something very important. I wanted to ask in a special way, somewhere private. I won't tell you who I am through this letter, because I want you to know in person along with...other things. Anyway, I have hidden a clue on where to find me. It's somewhere in the apartment. (It's not that hard to find it) Here's a clue to help you: The note is in a place humans go to get food. Pretty obvious right? When you find the note it will tell you where I am. And no i'm not a kidnapper btw, i'm a close friend. :)

Signed,

Your friend.

Wow, I can't believe it. I have no clue who wrote me this letter. It could be anyone. I wonder what they want to tell me? Anyway, let me go find that letter. Well...more like go get it. It's kinda obvious it's in the kitchen. I got up from my bed and slipped the letter into my pocket. (He has his human clothes on so, yes, there's pockets.) I walked out of my room and went to the kitchen. Ava was in the living room talking to someone on the phone so the letter couldn't be from her. I heard yelling earlier, maybe that was her? She seemed frustrated when she was on the phone. Maybe Asch got her mad while they were at the store earlier? Was that who she was talking to? Meh, I won't bother her by asking. She looks mad enough.

I looked around in the kitchen and finally found a small piece of paper by the toaster adressed to me. I unfolded it and read it in my head, just so Ava wouldn't hear:

Dear Rhys,

Hey, me again! Ok so if your reading this then i'd assume you read my other note I left for you by the bed. If you didn't read it, and you just found this in the kitchen, then go read the note I left on your bed first. (please) Anyway, okay so, if you go into the throne room there is a red string hanging from the throne. Go find it then when you do, follow the string. It will lead you to me. That's all i'll tell you. Hope to see you soon!

Signed,

Your friend.

I folded the note and put it into my pocket with the previous one. I really wanted to know who this person was, and why they were writing me notes. I walked over into the living room where Ava looked as if she'd calmed down now. "Ava. Are you alright?" I asked her in concern. "Hm? Oh yeah i'm fine. Just a little frustrated is all." She replied with a smile. "Alright. Talk to you later, i've got something to take care of." I told her. "Okay, good luck with that!" She said.

I walked over to the portal and just as I was about to walk through, I saw in my peripheral vision a large grin appearing on Ava's face. I didn't care for it though, I just walked through the portal and walked over to the throne room. I stepped in and looked over to a magnificent throne, covered in jewels and diamonds. What caught my eye though, was a glowing red string. It amazed me one thousand times more than the throne did. I picked up the small piece of thread leading out of the throne room. Once my fingers made contact with the glowing strand, I immediately felt happiness throughout my entire body. I kept my hand on the string as I started following it out the exit.

As I followed the string my body felt happier. It was like each step I took brought me joy. I followed the string for a good ten minutes until I reached a pathway. The string had not continued when I reached the path, so I set it down. I looked at the path and there were beautiful salmon colored candles around the path.

I couldn't wait to see who this person was. I secretly was hoping that it was Asch. I've liked him ever since I became his knight. I just never told him because I thought he would get in trouble for dating one of his knights, and being homosexual. I knew he was gay. One time after a battle, Asch went up to his sister and came out. His sister was really happy for him and fully supported him, but he told her not to tell their father. The day after though, Asch's father asked his sister to tell him what they were talking about in Asch's room. She said no though, so as a punishment, she was given poison. She died an hour later. Asch didn't even get to say goodbye. The next day when he found out what happened to his sister he came into my room crying, he told me everything. I felt really bad.

I started walking down the path. It was a long stone path, on a hill. I walked for about 7 minutes until I began to see a beautiful weeping willow tree, and someone standing under it. I walked a bit closer to see who it was. It was exactly the person I'd hoped. Asch............Asch was standing there; under that willow tree, flowers, and a teddy bear in hand.
