Curse of the Red Thread

Chapter 1

Kakashi's POV

I am cursed. It's no normal curse either. It doesn't just affect me and make my life more miserable. No, in reality, the only thing this curse does to me is allowing me to see it. What is it? Well, I'll get to that. Who the curse affects is that person. Who is that person? Hell. I don't know. I have to find them, but if I do, then they'll be in unimaginable pain. Quite the Catch-22, huh? I assume that by this time you are all confused as hell, so I guess I should start at the beginning. I wasn't the first person to receive this curse, I just inherited it from my father. Fantastic.

So a long time ago, one of my ancestors fell in love with a witch. They were very much in love and the witch was willing to do anything for him. One day, he asked her to put a spell on him that would allow him to see the red string of fate. He desperately wanted to know is his was connected to her. The witch was positive it was and she believed that if he saw that he would marry her.

So the witch put the spell on him, but, sadly, his string led to one of the girls in the village. Upon seeing this, the man left the witch to declare undying love and marry the village girl. The witch was heart broken and furious. Her anger was so great that she cursed the man and all his descendants.

They would be able to see the red string of fate and find their other half, but whenever they touched, their fated person would feel unimaginable pain. The curse would only be broken when the couple could prove to the witch that it was true love and that they weren't bending to fate.

Well that's the story, and generations later here I am, still cursed. To be honest I fear the curse. I don't want to follow the string. I don't want to find that person. I don't want to hurt them and yet I find myself following. It's as if a compulsion is upon me. Or maybe it's hope? What if that person and I are the ones to break the curse? What if no one after us has to suffer? What if we're the ones to prove to the witch that we love each other in spite of the string and not because of it? That is what I desperately pray for at least.

Yosh! So how was that? For those who don't know, the red string of fate is what connects people who are supposed to be soul mates. For more info, go to google. Please review this, because I love hearing what you guys think!

One last thing, I will be updating both Broken and Until the End sometime this weekend. So be on the lookout! Ja!
