To all my Readers and Reviews here, Book 1 of Tangled Up is Coming to a Close Very Soon. What this means is that Book 2 will be Starting. It will Continue from the Next Chapter, but think of it as a Huge Book Broken up into Sectors. Kinda like the First Book in the Never Ending Story was. It Compromised of the First Two Movies. XD I'm doing this Instead of Starting up Tons of Fanfics on it. ^^ So with this Said, I Bring you all Chapter 13 of Tangled Up. *hugs to you all*)

Chapter 13 Finding A Reason, And A New Hope For Tomorrow

(For this Song, Think of the part about Jail as 1 not letting them go out of the Library for awhile! XD But in all Seriousness, I bring you all 'Until The End' by Avenged Sevenfold. Expect more Songs by them to in this Chapter. .com/watch?v=VagrRQbXfYg )

Three Weeks. It had been almost 3 Weeks now since 9 Died, and everything was going from Bad to Worse it seemed. Once Everyone got back to the Library, the Twins along with 8 went in to the Book Room. Coming out 8 was Carrying a Table. The rest except for 1 put a White Velvet Cloth on it and two Pillows. After that, 8 put 9s Body on it. 5 Crossed 9s Hands over his Chest, and still looking at him, it was hard to believe he was Dead. They put the Table in the Center of the Room on the Bottom Floor.

It looked like 9 was at Peace, but everyone there wasn't. Many times at night, 3 and 4, or 6 and 7 would find 5 Passed Out there asleep with his Head Resting on the Bed Asleep by His Lover. From looking at his Eyes, you could tell he had Once More Cried Himself to Sleep. With the help of 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8 They were able to get all the Supplies 9 had Stocked up on from the Hose to here at the Library and Store Them in the Basement. Even 2 was Shocked at all the things 9 had Gathered up. Going back to the Waste In-front of the Factory was hard on the Twins, so the others went and got the Supplies there.

9 had left them yes, but he gave them all so much in Leaving. Day in and Day out 2 would re-look over the Notes the Twins had in the Library, and sometimes 1 would Find Him there asleep. 5 had Returned to Ortons Lab and Came back One Night With the Rest of the Notes, and he was Pouring over Them. But a lot of Times he was Found at 9s Somewhat Coffin. Concern was apparent in 2s Eyes.

Not only did this Affect 5, but 6 got even Worse After the Incident. 7 was Worried Sick about him, but she knew she couldn't do anything about it. His Fits Increased, he tried to keep them Under-control, but it was to no Advil. Even after a Week after 9s Death she told hi they were going to have Children of their Own. He was Happy yes, but it was Short Lived as he kept Drawing and his Fits came back Tenfold. It was funny to 7 though to be Expecting Twins though. Even 3 and 4 laughed their asses off about it. She laughed to Blaming Them for it since she Hung Around Them So much and was like a Mother to them.

1, well, he would even go to 9s Coffin at Night and 6 could Hear Their Leader talking to him and Cussing a bit to. Yes, 1 was upset at what he did and he Promised that if they could get him back, he Would Personally Slap Him Right Across His Face for the Worry he put Them All Through.

2 would laugh when he saw him there. He Broke the News to him Two and a Half Weeks after 9s Death that he was Pregnant as well, and 1 Nearly Lost it Then. He wasn't ready for this, but like Many things in Life, you don't Choose. It just Happens.

3 and 4, they Started up their Relationship with 8. 7 Found this out One Night when She Went In to the Book Room. She Found the Twins on either Side of 8 Sleeping on his Chest, using it for a Pillow. The Next Morning, She Pulled 8 off to the Side and Made Him Promise He Would Never Hurt Them. Because if she Found out He did, She was Going to have His Head for it no Matter what. From the Look she gave 8, she Could tell there was Nothing to Worry about.

5, He seemed to go in to a very Deep Depression. 2 was doing Everything he Could to help out his Pupil. What alarmed him one Night was when he Found him Drunk off of some Other Oil 9 had Stocked up on for Special Occasions. Realizing he was Going to Die if he didn't Stop, it was Decided after he Talked to 1, They Would Hide it in His Room. 5 was so Distant with everyone Lately, and it Seemed if They Didn't Watch Him Closely, He Would Die along with His Baby. And Then 9 Would be even More Devastated.

6 was always in his Room Drawing. He Would Sometimes Draw the Talisman Again, and Seemed to be Lost in Thought. He Would Also Wake Up at Night Screaming and Shaking from Head to Toe. 7 Would Hold him During these times, Looking a Bit Sad Herself, but She had to be Strong For Him. All She Could Do was Reassure Everything was fine. It was Times Like This She Found Herself Crying Sometimes with Him and Cursing out 9. For what he Did to Them All.

8 was taking it Hard to. Sure, he Didn't Like 9 that much at the Beginning, but Over Time he had Grown to Love him Like Everyone Else. He Often Found Himself Comforting the Twins in the Library While They Were Looking Over the Other Notes. Many a Time They Would Break Down and Cry. These times were Tough on everyone. 8 Remembered When They Cried so much They were Coughing. He Took Them Up to 2 and he gave them Some Pain Killers hat 9 Had Found. The Medicine that Worked on Humans seemed to be able to Work on Them to just as Fine. But 2 had to be Careful. They weren't Humans, so he just like 1 Only Used a bit of Each Pill or Tablet They had.

5 was at the Watch Tower that Night, and things Had Finally Reached the Breaking Point. 5 had told the Others 9 Contacted him Through a Dream the Night Before Saying something, but he Couldn't Remember what. Just like 6 and His Visions, They knew he was Loosing it. It wasn't like the Other Stitchpunks Didn't believe Him, it was More Like the Impossible. So that's why this Night he was here. He was Already up on the Ledge Getting Ready to Jump, but Someone Grabbed him From Behind Roughly and Hauled Him Back.

5, Shocked, found Himself Looking in the Furious Face of.....1?!

"What do you Think Your Doing and Trying to Prove Boy?! What do you Think this Will Accomplish?! And with you Being Pregnant , DO YOU THINK THIS IS WHAT 9 WOULD want?!"

5 Looked at 1, and He Knew He Was Right, but.....The Dreams. Everything. It Was All to Much for Him. He was Loosing it, and Loosing it Badly. He was Aware of it Even in His Drunken State. Of Course 1 Knew he Was Drunk, but Still, He wasn't About to Let Him Throw His Life Away. It Was Times like These He Was Thankful for Everyone.

But Still, he wasn't About to Stop. The Dreams, Everything wasn't Right. His Life, What Mattered Now? He Looked at 1 Again, and Noticed he was Blocking His Way.

"Nothing Matters Now 1. Nothing at All. 9s Gone, and I've Accepted That. I Really Have Nothing to Live For. What is Life Worth Living? Especially When the One You Love is Gone?"

1, Fed Up now, and Realizing That 5 Might Still do it Sighed.

"5? Your Not Yourself Anymore. Look at you."

Once Those Words Left 1s Mouth, 5 Felt Something Hit Himself Over the Head From Behind, and Then Someone Else Catch Him. Before he Passed Out, he Saw 8. They just went Back Inside, and 1 had 8 put 5 in his Room on his Bed for now. After this, he Went Downstairs by the Elevator and Called an Emergency Meeting With Everyone Else. It was there Things Began.

As Everyone was Setting at the Huge Table, Looking at 9s Body From Time to Time, 2 Came in with the Oil. It was Getting to Much for Both 5 and 6. Everyone Knew This. But What to do Was the problem.

2 Sighed as he Took a Sip of his Oil After 1 Told Them About 5.

"It's Not Surprising he's Like This, but What Concerns me the Most is These Dreams. What if 9 is Trying to Contact him? I Wouldn't be Surprised in the Least."

1 Just Scoffed.

"If he is, Then Why Only 5? Why not the Rest of us to?"

7 Smiled Sadly.

"Because 5s His Love. Of Course he Would Go to Him. I Don't Think he is, but he Might. It's hard to Say.

8 Was the Next to Speak.

"I Just know when I hit em he had this Far Away Look in his Optics like he was a Ghost."

3 and 4 Were the Next to Talk.

"I Read in Books along with 4 About Humans Contacting Relatives from the Grave. So I Don't Think it's Impossible.

That's right Brother. But if 9 is, What is he Trying to Tell 5? That's the Question."

(Next Song is 'Afterlife' .com/watch?v=3a9clD03xCc )

1 Just Sighed and Rubbed his Temples. This Talk was Confusing to him as it was Insane. He felt 2s Hand Rubbing his Back and he just Lent back in his Chair. Suddenly, Everyone heard a Noise. Next Thing you know, 5 Came Tearing down the Stairs at Top Speed and Without a Word, he Went into the Book Room. Everyone Looked at Each other, and They were off to.

5 Rushed on, not caring if the Others Were Following Him or Not! He Understood now! 9 was Calling Him! He Scaled the Desk in no Time Flat, and Once on Top of it, he Began to Look for it! He had to Find it! 9 Was Trapped! He Needed Him! DAMNIT! Where did the Twins Put It?!

Suddenly, Something Green Flashed at the Corner of the Desk. YES! That's it! Rushing Over to it, He Grabbed the Talisman! Tears Pouring Down his Face, Why Couldn't he See This Before?! Opening Up Himself, He Put it Inside Him. Next Thing He Saw Was a Huge Flash of Green, and Then Nothing. After a Few Minutes, he Opened up His Eyes. What He Saw Nearly Made Himself Cry Right Then and There.

Standing Before Him Was None Other Than 9s Soul. He Figured it Out. Reaching Out, He Embraced Him. 9 Had to Laugh.

"So I Guess my Dreams Didn't Drive You Insane Huh Love?"

5 Just Continued to Sob.

"Dammit 9! Your a Damned Fool! Why?! Do you Know What Everyone has been Through?! The Sorrow?! The Tears?! The Pain?! The Suffering?! We Need You Back! And You Know it!"

9 Just Laughed at him.

"I Know, but Do You Know How to Do it? Do You Understand What I was Trying to Tell you?"

5 Looked at him Right in the Eyes, and he Knew What he Had to do. He Just Nodded, and in Another Flash of Light, he Found Himself Back in the Book Room on the Desk. Everyone else was Around him, and 1 just Hollered Out at him.

"What the Hell were you thinking 5?! Are you really trying to get Yourself Killed?!"

5 Just Laughed.

"No. Not Really, but I Know How to Get 9 Back Now.

2 Smiled at him while 3 and 4 Began to Flash Excitedly. 6 Just Looked at Him With Worry, and 7 Was Rubbing Her Own Temples Now. 8, completely Lost, just Shrugged his Shoulders. 5 Slowly Stood Up, and Carried the Talisman With Him. The Talisman Was the Key to Everything. Why Didn't 5 and the Others See This Before?

9 Was Trapped in the Afterlife. He Didn't Belong There Yet. His Soul Was Trapped in the Talisman It's Self. If He was Meant to go, Then His Soul Wouldn't be Trapped Like it Was. 9 Knew This When He Fought the B.R.A.I.N. That's Why He Did What He Did. Not only was it to Save Them All, but it was also to Save Himself to. It wasn't Time to go yet. How to get His Soul out, He Knew 5 Would Figure it out after he Told Everyone Else About it.

As He Sat Down, he Began to Think About Everything so Far. From the Beginning. He Felt he Could Let go of his Past Now. Everyone Forgave him Long ago. 2s Death he Didn't Mean. He Didn't Know Back Then What Would Happen. Same thing for 5. Oh Creator and God That Nearly Killed Him Right There. Now he Knew Why. He Was in Love with 5. 6, Seeing Him Like That. Telling Him to Go Back to the Source. 8, God....Poor 8. But 1, 1 Really Still Got Him Even to This Day.

Now He Knew How They Felt. But Just like Them, it Wasn't his Time. Everyone Knew it. Only One Question Remained. Did 5 Know How to Get Him Back? All he Could Do Was Wait and see. Everyone Missed Him Terribly. It wasn't His Fault Things Had to Turn out This Way.

The B.R.A.I.N made sure to do this to them all. But 9 had Courage and Faith in His Love Along with Everyone else. He had a lot to do Once he got back to. He Knew 1 and Everyone Would be all Over Him, and that Thought alone made him laugh.

He Was Going to Escape With the Help of His Love if he Could Escape. He knew 2 Would Help no Matter What Along with Everyone Else. Time was on His Side After-all.
