Grayson- 47 weeks
Asher's POV
"Bubba go check on Princess" "Yeah she misses you" my parents peak their heads into my room. I hadn't gone to see her in 2 weeks. Since Atlas had to deal with that big spider in the first task, had gotten to scared.
"Oh okay," I mumble putting my notebook back onto my desk. "You okay?" They ask stepping into my room. "Yeah, the task just scared me" I answer truthfully. "Is that why you won't come with us to see Princess?" Papa asks. I nod sheepishly.
"You know she loves you" Dad continue and I nod again. I've never been scared of bugs, spiders, and stuff like that. Princess, I always saw her as my guardian in a way. Taking a deep breath I knew I would have to get over this new silly fear.
"Are you coming with me?" I question them getting uncertain looks. "We can if you need us too" Papa smiles trying to hide the fact that they were busy and couldn't. "no I'll be okay" I give them a big smile in return.
"Are you sure?" Dad asks rubbing my shoulder. I nod with confidence before walking towards the door. "Which passage are you taking, just in case we have to come find you," they grow serious, and I stop to try and think.
"Uhhh the picture frame one," I tell them pointing to the left. "Which one?" They chuckle knowing there were many. "The one with Iris, Ivy, and me! When we're like 5... Uhh Iris was eating a flower and I was laying on top of Ivy" I try to describe it as best as I could.
They nod, both leaving a kiss on my forehead before I walk down the hall my hands shoved into my short pockets. Making my way down the hall I take a left shivering at how much colder it got.
Once I finally make it to the portrait I smile wrapping my fingers around the corner of the frame. I take a deep breath and pull it forward opening up a passage for me. The hall was well lit, so I pulled the frame closed behind me.
Starting the journey down the hall I hugged myself. It's so cold. Taking a right the tunnel soon becomes wider and only a few short turns later I arrive outside of Princess's home. Taking a deep breath I walk into the center of the giant room.
"Princess?" I call laughing slightly at the name my parents had given her. Not even a second later the scattering of her legs is heard behind me. I gulp turning towards the spider that had now made its way to the floor.
Carefully she made her way over to me slow and almost timid like. Once I saw her eyes I immediately relaxed they were different than the other one. Her eyes seemed softer, calmer, and just held care in them.
Sighing in relief I walk towards the big furry thing with my arm out. "Hello" I smile petting her leg. She closes her eyes and lays down curling her legs in. "No talking today? That's fine" I quickly reassure her not wanting the spider to feel guilty.
"Do you want to just listen?" I ask. She stretches her leg out and taps the floor before tucking it back in. Once? That means yes. I sit down resting my back onto the spider.
"There was another spider at the task... you're way better though," I tell her. She taps the floor once agreeing with me. "Atlas won! And Iris came in a second!" I exclaim so proud of them. She taps the floor repeatedly showing her excitement for them. I giggle at her enthusiasm.
"Are you not talking because you're mad at me?" I mumble getting two hesitant taps. "Sad?" I grow even quieter. One tap. I sigh petting her side. "I'm sorry" I apologize. Getting another tap. I'm assuming instead of yes, it means it's okay... hopefully.
"Want me to keep talking?" I suggest wanting to change the subject. Once again another tap. "Okay well, Thomas and I have gotten closer and I'm pretty happy to have another friend" I bring my knees to my chest, getting more repetitive taps showing she was excited for me.
Soon a light hit on the head makes me look up. "Hmm?" I ask seeing her little foot. She taps it again. "My head?" I think out aloud and she taps one of her other legs. "Oh is about me hurting it?" I question her getting another tap in response.
"Oh, it's fine now... I have a bruise because you know how fragile my skin is" I smile getting two taps. "Princess it's fine, it doesn't hurt anymore" I chuckle. "Do you hate Thomas too?" I ask meekly.
I get two slow taps as if she didn't know how to answer. "Not exactly" I speak for her getting one tap. "He just has some bad moments? I think that's how Atlas feels too... actually no Atlas just hates him" I explain throwing my arms up.
"It really sucks" I pout crossing my arms. Getting another tap on the head, but I think this one was more reassuring. With a groan I lay my head back onto her.
"You remember when I told you about the twin's birthday party" Bringing the party back up to her. One tap. It was really fun they had a few friends over who I didn't really know, so I was kind of awkward around them.
"I think somethings wrong with Ivy at the party she seemed happy but if she was left alone her mood changed completely." I express my worries getting nothing in response.
"Can I tell you something? You can't tell anybody else" I trust her. Closing my eyes, I listen for some sort of response. I get a tap and nod. "Ivy and Kiara went to the ball together... I told you that of course, but I really don't think it was a prank. I think they liked each other" I explain opening my eyes, using my hands to talk throwing them around like a mad person.
"Kiara won't talk to me anymore, but I think something happened and I don't know if I should talk to Ivy or not because she's really stubborn" I ramble on dropping my hands into my lap.
"Do you think I should talk to her?" I finally get to my point. Receiving repetitive taps. "I assume that's a yes" I laugh as the spider relaxes tapping her foot once. "I should bring the twins next time" I cheer petting her leg.
Her leg taps repetitively again faster than before. "I'm sure they would love to see you" I add. Laying back down I relax closing my eyes again. "I better still be your favorite" I joke getting a hesitant tap.
"Hey!" I shout opening my eyes as Princess shivers meaning she's laughing. I laugh too closing my eyes again. "It's okay as long as you're still my friend, I don't mind" I smile to myself.
Two taps. "No?" I sit up with a hurt expression. "Are you not my friend?" Two taps. "No, as in I'm not your friend or I am?" I ask confused and hurt. "This is so confusing, you should just talk to me!" I whine.
Two more taps. "Fine, next time?" I plead. A tap in response. "So am I your friend or no" I laugh hoping I would get a good response. One tap. "Favorite?" I keep pushing. I get one tap and gasp. "So you were lying to me before!" I shout crossing my arms.
I got another tap, and shake my head knowing Princess was enjoying this. "Fiddlesticks! I got so off-topic!" I yell sitting back up. She jumps at my sudden burst of energy. "Remember how I didn't want a birthday party or not yet at least," I tell her. Petting her arm to calm her.
"Well I finally got my parents to agree, and I'm just going to wait till it gets warmer and have a picnic outside with the family!" I cheer raising my arms. "And possibly Thomas... do you think I should invite Kiara? I'll talk to Ivy first" I start mumbling to myself again getting poked in the head by the big spider.
"Too much?" I purse my lips while clapping my hands together. Two taps. "I'll just think about it" I mumble relaxing once again. "My parents have been quite busy lately," I tell her examining the ring on my finger. I had already told her all about it. For once I wouldn't stop talking.
"I hope they'll be able to come to the picnic... Uncle Blaise too!" I smile imagining all the fun we could have. "Maybe we can even get another picture together!" I grow more and more excited with every word I say.
"Well anyways, everything's been going pretty good lately the 2nd task was awful, but besides that", I attempt to calm myself. I was getting excited about something that probably won't even happen.
"They've been monitoring my eating again, I'm not that's stupid I can see them watching me. I guess it helps I don't mean to forget I just do, so when I see them it reminds me!"
