Why Won't They Tell Me?

Two's Tale

"Where's Two?"

Nine raised an eyebrow, clearly confused.

"What do you mean?"

Four squeezed him harder, "Where's Two?"

"What about him?"

"Nine, where is Two?"

"Why would I know? Two moves around a lot, he could be anywhere."

"I need to talk to him, Nine. Get him here."

"Four? Are you-"

"Oh for crying out loud Nine just get him!"

Nine closed his mouth and nodded, going towards the door and hollering for Eight.

He came quickly, barely stopping himself from ripping the door off again.

"Nine! How is Four? Is he okay!?"

"He's not.. really.. Four.. We have to get Two here. Now."

"You can count on me!"

"Can I?"

"Nine, we're neighbors. Of course you can count on me!"

"Eight, please don't do anything rash."

"Me? Dangerous? Never in a million years!" With that said, he sped away eagerly, looking for the orange numberblock.

Two sat in the meadow, picking flowers and weaving them, he didn't know who for, but he could use them for decorating later.

"Oooh! Oooh! There's a very pretty flower over there!"

Bending down and picking it up, he felt weird sensations going to and fro in his arms, he didn't feel them, it was as if they weren't there.

Growing more confused every second, he heard voices, very distant ones, and it sounded like him.

We're going to need you for a bit, so just stand still.

"Wh-" His voice abruptly cut off, he couldn't speak, it was as if his body was no longer his, but his consciousness remained, unable to control. He felt his voice being used, as if he were talking, and moving, but he wasn't, he was stuck here.

Unmoving.

He stood like that for a while, uselessly trying to regain his body, but it was like mind controlling a rock. More voices sounded, but he was too busy with himself to notice. Eventually, they did get loud enough for him to notice.

"Oh, it's funny now!?" He heard Four yell, clearly hurt.

Two's heart slightly broke when he heard that it was his own laughter making Four upset.

"You think I care?" Two wanted to stop talking, to take those words and lock them away somewhere, never to be heard again, "Your feelings are the last thing me, One, Three, Five, or anyone else on the planet would think about."

Two wanted to cry, Four was his friend, so why was he being so mean?

"You shouldn't be so naive."

Two wished Four won't be naive enough to believe anything that he said.

Then, Four started talking again.

"You're my friend Two, please.."

'No Four!' he thought, 'Just come find out what's really going on!'

"Why are you doing this?"

Two wanted to shatter the wall holding him from comforting his friend, pushing harder than he ever pushed before. For Four.

It suddenly felt like a barrier broke, thrusting Two into a world where, Four now stood in from of him, tears in his eyes.

Two looked at him, trying to speak.

But something was pushing him backwards, back into the abyss of nothingness that he escaped from. Knowing the message he had to get through to Four in order not to hurt him anymore, he hardened his expression.

'Please Four,' He tried.

"If you really want to know."

'I can't hurt him! No more pain! I need to tell him the truth!'

"Then-"

He regained control.

"-Find. Out." he finished, barely seeing the look on Four's face before being thrust out of his body once more.

Two immediately began rushing back to reality, slowly but surely feeling normal again. Taking a quick glance at his surroundings, he surmised he was back in the meadow.

"Ow, I don't feel so good..."

Remembering what happened while he was out, tears started to form.

"F-four.. I.. I hurt.. I hurt my friend.."

Trying desperately not to uncontrollably sob, he started to whisper his thoughts.

"I didn't mean to.. I should've.. I could've stopped.."

He was faintly aware of someone coming, but he didn't look up in fear of it being Four.

"Oh no.. Two? Are you alright?" He heard Eight ask.

"E-eight?" He hiccuped, "Is that you?"

"Yes, whatever is the matter?" Eight asked, sitting down next to him.

"Four.."

"Oh yes, that's actually why I'm here! Four wants you."

"He.. he what?"

"Wants me to bring you to him.

Two paled, awkwardly scooting away from him, wondering why Four was sending Eight after him.

"W-Why?"

"I don't know, but we're going to find out!" Eight then picked him up gently, and ran towards Nine's house.

Two only held on and wondered how would he explain this to Four.

Now wouldn't this be something to tell Twenty.
