Tords P.O.V
I handed Tom the tea and he carefully drank it, "Thanks," he quietly said.
"No problem," I'd been sitting next to Tom for about twenty minutes, he didn't say a word until I handed him the drink. His hands fumbled and the hit cup spilt all over the floor, "S-Sorry"
I tried to hide the irritation bubbling up in me, I didn't know how to deal with this. "It's okay Thomas, I'll be right back I'm going to grab some towels." I shut the door behind me and headed down the hall to the laundry room. I ran my hand through my hair, "What are you doing Tord?" I asked myself. "And what the hell is taking Edd and Matt so long." I grabbed the towels and walked to his room, I twisted the knob, clack, "Huh?" Again, clack. "He locked it?! Open the door!"
I heard a laughter from the other side a crash, "F-FU*hic*CK OFFss!" He slurred.
"For the love of-*CRACK*" I kicked the door open. "You're a terrible Jehovah's Witness." I sneered. In just a couple of minutes, he already managed to get out of his mind drunk. "Your an idiot." I groaned.
"YOUR A-A hic PIECE OF SHIT"
I stomped up to him and grabbed him by his hoodie, "Your getting on my last nerve--"
"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!" He screamed. I noticed how soaking wet his hoodie was. I turned away at the overpowering smell of alcohol, he reaked. I let him go, he held his stomach.
"Don't you DARE EVEN--"
And he did.
He puked on himself and started to cry. "I'm I-I *hic * sorrwy pleasedont touch hic me, I'll take it goood boy next time I won't crwy"
I picked him up and carried him to the bathroom, he continued to spew out nonsense about what went on with this woman. I set him down on the bathroom floor as I turned on the tub. He huddled over the toilet and started to vomit. He wiped his mouth and put his back to the wall, he grabbed his legs and cried, "Why can't I forget!"
I saw red come from his arms, "Thomas!" I grabbed his arm, the tips of his fingers were black and turned into claws. "Dammit. Don't move." I ran to his room and frantically searched, "Where did that pill go?!"
"Tord?" His voice weakly cried.
"Thomas can you wait damn one minute--" I turned around and he was holding onto the door frame for balance. He was in black boxers and had bruises down his purple torso. His skin was purple and furry, his arms started to get scaly.
"I'm s-scared.."
I stared at him, was I shocked, was I scared, was I happy that the experiment worked? I remembered and grabbed the pill that was sitting in my pocket, "Here, I didn't make it for you to take when you're drunk but you should be fine."
His hands shakily reached out and he popped I'm in his mouth, he coughed and sputtered as the purple seemingly dissolved into his skin. He topped over, I quickly grabbed him and put his arm are my neck. "Can you hear me?"
"I-I *hic cough* I can barely m-move," he complained. I walked him to the bathroom, he held his head like it was killing him, he started to giggle then went limp, his eyes closed as he snoozed off on my shoulder.
"Thomas? Wake up!" I shook him and he didn't bother opening his eyes.
"ShhhHhhHHH I'mmm sleepyyyzz" He groaned. I noticed a hit of purple glow from his eyes evertyime he was mad. That is going to have to be kept under control.
"There is no way I'm bathing you!" I argued.
"Wheresss Eddyyyy?" He snoozed.
I set him on the toilet and he rested his head on the wall. "Edd is going to kill me if he finds you like this.." I hope he doesn't remember any of this.10 minute timeskip ~~
I washed the soap out of Thomas's hair, he was sleeping like a rock. I drained the tub and held him up. I wrapped a towel around him and carried him to his room. He looked like a child and curled in a ball, I positioned him in a way where I could slid a hoodie over him and put his boxers on. I've seen people blown to shreds, putting on his clothes was the least of my worries. As long as he doesn't remember.
Edd and Matt still were back and it was seriously starting to worry me. Tom rolled over a woke up, tears were at the edges of his eyes, "I-I can't sleep," his voice was a faint whisper.
Oh now you can't sleep, how convenient, that would have been nice five minutes ago!!
"Why not?"
"W-What if she h-hurts me?"
I couldn't help myself, "Who was the woman when you were a child Thomas?" He stared at me expressionless, "I'm here to help, i promise."
"When I was a k-kid, my uh, my mom's freinds would come over a lot when my dad wasnt around. He'd disappear for weeks on end sometimes. All her f-freinds would get really drunk and h-high and they're was one woman.. she would.. um.. she would come into my ..my ..m-m-m-my r-r-room when I was .. when I was sleeping and.. she would tie me up. She tied me up. A-And I felt so helpess. And she'd um s-she would cover my mouth and tell me to be a good boy. A-And if I was a good boy she wouldn't hurt me as much. A-A-And she made me..do things..."
"Who?"
His eyes still wouldn't meet mine, "I-It doesn't matter.."
"Who Thomas?"
"Tord it's fin--"
"WHO?!" I demand, he flinched and immediately responded.
"L-Loraine Jackson" he quickly stammered.
Edd and Matt peeked around the corner soaking wet, "Your back!" Tom smiled.
Matt handed Edd a backpack and he took out and oddly shaped bear, "Here, now you can go to sleep Tom," Edd smiled. Matt sat on Tom's bed and showed him the backpack as they started to talk. Edd gave me serious look, "We need to talk."
"Right, but I have a family emergency I'll be right back I promise. It's really important Edd. I promise I wouldn't go without go reason."
"Okay Tord, I know. Be safe?"
"Of course." I gave him a hug and hugged Matt when he came out of the room. I peeked at Tom sleeping one more time.
My name is Tord, I'm next in line to be the Red Leader. I'm staying in Swellview to be a high schooler to keep low on another armies Rader. But right now I have a side mission and someone needs to pay immediately.
"Bye Bye Loraine." I sneered.
