Chapter 40 - No Strings Attached
Y/N = Your Name
* 3rd Person's P.O.V
Y/N, Daniel, and Stella were wandering through the Hospital. ' Come on Mom. You've got to be here' Y/N thought. " Maybe, we should check in there" Daniel pointed to a white door. Y/N walks towards the door. " Remember, I gave you the pipe" she grabs onto the knob and looks at Daniel. Daniel nodded as he pulls out the rusty pipe. Stella hides behind Daniel, Y/N slowly opens the door to see a long staircase. " Looks like some kind of basement" She peaks her head in. " Do you think Oliver and Nathan are down there?" Stella asked. " Maybe, Daniel stay here and keep watch. Stella, come with me" Y/N replied. " Got it. I'll give you the signal if I see something" Daniel saluted. He tries to imitate a crow, " Maybe you should work on your call" Stella said as she went downstairs. Daniel rolled his eyes in disbelief.
* Time Skip
Y/N and Stella were walking down the stairs, " Be careful. We might not be alone" Y/N whispered. " Is Daniel gonna be okay?" Stella asked. " He'll be fine. Daniel's a tough guy" Y/N answered. When they got to the bottom of the staircase, they saw figures hanging from the ceiling with their skins pierced by golden strings. ' What happened to them?' Y/N thought. She noticed Oliver and Nathan were amongst the deceased victims. " Oh my god....Y/N, is that Oliver and Nathan?" Stella covered her mouth. Y/N's jaw dropped as she saw them. Their skin was gray and their eyes were completely black. " I feel like I'm gonna throw up" Stella looked away. " It's okay, Stella. We just need to get them down" Y/N pushed Stella behind her. Suddenly, they heard a female's laughter. Y/N and Stella turned around to see two pairs of green eyes. " Who are you?!" Y/N shouted. Out of the shadows, it was revealed to be Sally. " Sally?!" Y/N was shocked as Stella got confused. " You've got to get out of here. He knows you're here" Sally floated towards Y/N. " What are you talking about?" Y/N asked. " Zalgo! You've got to open the portal and send us back" Sally replied. " You guys! There's something heading towards us" Daniel runs downstairs. He turns his head to see Sally, Daniel raises his pipe to Sally. " Wait stop!" Y/N ran towards him. Daniel held his weapon in the air, " She's a friend" Stella explained. " As if I'd be friends with a boy, why do you hang out with these freak shows?" Sally scoffed. Daniel grunted, " That's not very nice" Stella spoke. " You're not my mother" Sally crossed her arms and turned her head. " We don't have time for this. We have to stop Zalgo" Y/N sighed. " What about Oliver and Nathan?" Stella asked. She turns her head to Oliver and Nathan, " Try to remove the strings carefully or it'll kill them" Sally said. Y/N and Stella ran up to Nathan and Oliver, carefully trying to remove the strings.
However, " Keep your hands off my masterpieces" a voice interrupted them. Everyone turned to see the Puppeteer. " Perfect, more mortals to add to my collection" The Puppeteer chuckled evilly. " You leave my friend alone, you big bully" Sally shouted. " You call these fleshy creatures, your friends?" The Puppeteer grunted as he looks at Sally. " You stay out of this, kid. Let the professionals handle this" he added. Sally's eyes glowed, Y/N and Stella quickly grabbed their Oliver and Nathan. " Head to the forest and peform the ritual. Don't let anyone follow you" Sally floated into the air. " What about you?" Y/N asked. " Don't worry about me...I'll be fine" Sally responded. Y/N, Stella, and Daniel carried Oliver and Nathan away. Sally watches them leave, she puts on a smile as a tear drops down her cheek. " You think a girl like you is going to beat a grown man like me" The Puppeteer laughs as Golden strings ejected from his fingertips. " I don't think so, I know so" Sally chuckled. " Alright.....let's dance" The Puppeteer smirked.
