'Four' the Future

TP: Dissapear/How it all Started

12 months later, when Two was barely a teen, Charolette threw a party for him. It was a party in order for him to be officially crowned prince. She reluctantly invited townsfolk over, and the party commenced. But in Two's room, where a group of young Algebraliens hung out with Two, he explained how he didn't want to be in Theodore anymore. He wanted to get away from his mother. All his friends were those you know, One, Three, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten. They weren't at the teen stage yet, but were close like Two was. "Yea, my dad is a doctor and is obsessed with seeing if I have powers. Which I don't." Seven explained. "My parents make me eat food instead of the curtains." Six grumbled. Everyone shot him a worried look then went back to their own thing. "I don't think you get it..." Two began. "I'm getting out of here today." Everyone gasped. "What?? But you're being crowned! Who wouldn't want that?" Three exclaimed. Two stood up off his bed, "If I get crowned, that means I'm doomed to stay in this wicked town forever! I can't!" The other numbers looked at each other before looking back at Two. "How do you plan on doing it?" Five asked. "The guards will see you and just bring you back." Two thought for a moment. Then suddenly, a small rock hit his bedroom window. He looked out and saw Four waving at him. he got an idea. He opened the window and called Four over. "Woah! There is a party happening in here!" Four began, but Two shushed him. "I need your help." He whispered. Four listened closely. "I need to get out of this town, but I got to get around the guards. You know the streets better than anyone, can you help me get out?" He asked hurriedly. Four looked at the front gates of the castle, then back at Two. "Ok. But you need to follow my instructions." He said softly. Two nodded and began to climb out the window. Then noticed the others doing the same. "We're coming with you." Three said. "We can start our own town! Of grasslanders that were mistreated." Five added. Four sighed loudly, "Ok, ok! But we gotta be quiet." He murmured. They all nodded and followed Four. He led them away from the front gates quickly, and rushed them into the streets. Charolette knocked on Two's door and opened up, just to see an empty room with the window wipe open. "He's escaping!! Find him!!" She shouted almost immediately, running into the halls and shouting at the guards. They all rushed out and hopped in cars and trucks, switching on sirens and looking for the missing prince.

X left the doctor's with his parents. "So how was the check-up today, sweetie?" Sabina asked. X trembled. ".....C..cat.." He stuttered. "Hm?" The two leaned in on X, trying to determine what he was talking about. They made me kill a cat. They made me kill a cat. They made me kill a cat. X repeated in his head, unable to hold tears back. Overwhelmed with emotion, X sprinted off. He could hear his parents call his name, "WAIT!! COME BACK CAS-" Their shouts cut off as he ran into the streets. He ran until he ran into something. "A variable!" Five exclaimed. X gasped when he saw the crowd of numbers. "Who are you people??" He cried. "Hey, hey, don't worry! We won't hurt you." Four said, helping X up. "We're getting out of Theodore!" Six blurted. "Getting out? Like running away?" X asked. "Yes, and we need to keep going!" Two added, hearing sirens in the distance. "Take me with you." X said suddenly. Four grabbed X's hand and began running again, everyone following behind him. 

The group ran towards the entrance/exit of Theodore, when a police car blocked their way out. Four quickly took an alternate route, leading the group to an old warehouse that wasn't being used. They were about to run by it when a police car blocked their path, making the group skid to a halt. More police cars pulled up and forced the group's backs against the warehouse walls. The other's parents came out of their cars, but were stopped by the police. "That's my son!! Let me through!!" Dr. Baxter shouted, pointed at Seven. He cowered behind Nine. Charolette stepped out of the police car in front of the group and stood before them a few feet away." "Two, you are coming back to the castle right now!" She exclaimed, stomping a foot. Two shook his head, standing in front of the grooup. "We're tired of being mistreated!" Four hissed at Charolette, making her scowl at him. She refocused on Two. "My dear Clover," She changed her tone, "Come back to the castle. Come get crowned. You don't want to run away, if you think about it. You have all you need here." Two resisted the persistance in her voice. "I don't have a dad..." He mumbled, unable to speak up. A few cops tried to grab the others, but Four extended his arms around the others while standing behind Two to keep everyone away from them. "Your name is Clover...?" Six muttered, mostly to himself. Two felt his anger bubble inside him as Charolette kept trying to persuade him to go back home with her. "Once your crowned, you'll be just like me." She forced a smile. That was it. Two clenched his fists as an eerie green magic started to surround him, starting from his fists and overtaking his whole body. The crowd backed away slightly, while Charolette's eyes widened. "I.... Don't.." Two fumed, his knuckles going white. "I don't ever WANT TO BE YOU!!!!" Two screamed, the light suddenly flashing as he did, making the crowd look away from it. They heard Two's voice continue shouting as the light got brighter. The ground shook and some of the lampposts shut off. Then the light was gone, so was Two's voice. And so was Two. In fact, the whole group of rogue Algebraliens were gone. Seven, Eight, Six, Four, X, all of them. Charolette looked around, confused and angry. "Search the town! They can't have gone far!" She orders the police and her guards. Hudson and Sabina pushed through the crowd and watched as Charolette got back in the police car and drive off. The other officers told people to go back home. "Have you seen our son? A little yellow x?? Anyone??" Sabina called, looking around. Hudson took her hand sadly, "He's not here." He sighed. "He has to be! Right?" She felt tears well up. Hudson hugged her, while the crowd moved past them.
