Tom's Pov:

I woke up to a bar of light shining in my 'eyes' I sat up, squinted and checked the time. 7:40- "Goddamn it" I thought "Can't wait to see what we're doing today-". As I got up, I felt an extra leg sorta thing trailing behind me, "For fuck sake-". It was a sort of fluffy reptilian tail protruding from my lower back. "Tom! Breakfast!" I heard Edd call. Shit. Well, unless there was some way I could control this thing and hide the tail there was no way I was going downstairs- I just had to wait for a while to get rid of this thing- I felt my forehead and- Yep. Not just a tail but two small horns sprouting from my head. I looked at my hands then checked in the mirror and opened my mouth. Mhm. There was no doubt, Large fangs had grew, the tips of my fingers had become a navy purple-y colour and had gotten a little pointed at the end. Usually I wake up like this, it's pretty much normal to me now. But not quite as normal for the others, they've never seen this before. I have no idea how they'd react if they saw me like this but I assume it wouldn't be good. Besides, this thing attacked Edd when he got those powers. They'd all hate me if they found out. I mean, to be honest, I couldn't care less about what Tord thinks of me but never the less I still think it's a good idea to keep it a secret from him too- God knows what that psycho would do, I'll just keep this to myself. Nobody has to know. In my train of thought the horns had shrunk back into my head, the tail had disappeared, my fingers were back to normal and the fangs had transformed back into normal teeth.

Edd's pov:

Me, Matt and Tord were eating breakfast as we waited for Tom. I had my usual bacon sandwich with bacon cola (The best drink on Earth) while Matt had jam on toast and Tord just had a few strips of bacon with a glass of milk. I had called Tom a while ago but he hadn't come down yet. Kinda weird but I should be used to him waking up late- I finished my bacon sandwiches, grabbed Tom's toast and Smirnoff and walked up the stairs. I had decided to deliver Tom's breakfast to him this morning.

Tom's pov:

Just as I was about to leave my room the door swung open in front of me. "Oh, Good Morning Edd!" I spluttered trying to keep my cool. "Tom, Are you okay?" Edd asked. "I'm fine. You just scared me that's all."

"Alright then.. Here's your breakfast, Enjoy!" Edd chirped as he walked off

"Phew that was a close one" I said to myself.

There was really no point in bringing my food upstairs since I was going to go downstairs in a second anyway- but It's the thought that counts I guess. I picked up my food and trudged downstairs. Tord was already there with a smirk on his face. I swear I hate his face and everything about it. His smirk, It's just so annoying- "What is it-?" I asked in annoyance

"Oh- It's nothing, just thinking about how messy you look this morning" Tord replied, still without wiping that stupid smirk from his face

"Does it look like I care commie?" I responded with aggravated tone.

"Looks like someone woke up at the wrong side of the bed-" Tord mocked with a chuckle.

"Tom, Tord, stop arguing. It's early in the morning and I'm not in the mood. You continue arguing and I'll fry your faces with a pan." Edd scowled from the stove as he slapped another piece of bacon into the pan. Aside from the sizzling of the bacon strips nothing else could be heard before Edd quickly broke the silence by asking "So, What you want to do today?"

"Dunno" I answered. I wasn't really in the mood for doing anything. Truth is, I was up most of last night trying to fight that goddamn thing- Honestly I've never really gotten a good night sleep but each night it's getting worse. It worries me and I want to find some way of controlling it or preventing from hurting anyone in any way. "How about at lunch we go to a restaurant or something?" Edd asked. I mean sure I guess I hadn't been out for a while and I had a bit of cash to burn so. Although I would prefer it if it was just me and Edd- Matt and Tord would probably stress me out and that's something I really want to avoid but  I kind of had no choice since Edd would probably beg and somehow persuade me to go anyway.

Edd's pov:

"Sure, I guess" Tom answered after a few seconds. Tord agreed too, so it was settled we were going out to lunch together. Honestly I'm surprised Tom even wanted to come- he hasn't been out the house in ages and he didn't seem to be eating much either. Even now I can see him just staring at his plate. He hasn't even eaten a crumb. What's wrong with him? Has he stopped liking the food I make? Is it me?

"Tom are you sure you're okay?" I just had to double check.

"Yeah, of course. I'm fine- Why?" Tom replied

"You just haven't eaten anything for a while and you look really pale.." I commented

"I'll be fine Edd there's nothing to worry about."

"Okay then."

Tom's pov:

Why was Edd asking? Did he know? There's no way- I pushed the thought to the back of my mind. "I'm going back upstairs, wake me up when you're going to the restaurant," I could feel Edd's worried gaze locked on me as a trudged back up the stairs but I shook off the feeling. When I got into my room I collapsed onto my bed and curled up, hugging Tomee bear tightly as I dozed off.

Time skip

"Tom", "Tom", "Tom get up". A muffled voice with knocking called to me. Oh shit, it's Edd. Instantly I sprung up, tucked tomee bear in and opened the door. "C'mon Tom let's go" Edd said. "Yeah yeah, let me get my stuff-" I rushed downstairs, slipped on my shoes and waited for Edd to come down. "Matt and Tord are waiting outside."  Stated Edd before opening the door to leave.


Writers note: Hi, Hope you liked the first paragraph to my first fanfic! I think I did pretty good but if you have any ideas on how to improve just tell me! Anyways, I think I'll just publish each part bit by bit until I've finished it. If it's pretty bad it's because I was writing this from 2-4am one night and 2-3am another one. Thanks for reading! Next Chapter will be out soon! Also one thing to add is I'm actually British which I guess can make things easier since I don't need to search up British terms because I'll use them anyway. If anybody doesn't understand what a word might be just ask lol, Just a thing to add: I know that Tom's room is downstairs but I really can't be bothered to change it so it's now a 2 story house with 2 rooms upstairs. Word count: 1188
