EDDSWORLD FANFIC: The Misadventures of the Red Army

Chapter 10: Settling In

Tord was up in the guest room unpacking some things that Paul was able to salvage in the wreckage. A lot of the stuff was just really old blankets and clothing. Celestial ran into the room with a couple of blankets and pillows from downstairs. '' Edd says he's gonna get me a mattress up here soon. Is it okay if we just share the bed tonight? '' Celestial asked. Tord just stared at Celestial for a second. It was a long time since he last saw her. The last time was when she was still very young, but just about old enough to join the Red Army. At first, she was just some friend. But the last time Tord saw her, she was just joining the army. But after that, Celestial was just so occupied that there wasn't enough time to talk to her. '' Uh, Red Leader? '' Celestial said. Tord's eyes widened for a second. '' Don't call me that. There's no need for it anymore... '' Tord said. '' And what about tonight? Did you completely forget about it? '' Celestial said, reminding Tord. '' Oh right. I'm fine with it. '' Tord said. '' Well, okay then. '' Celestial said, and started walking back out of the room to get more things from downstairs. 

Tom walked upstairs after Celestial was out of the room. He went right to the guest room where Tord was. '' Hey. '' Tom said. '' Oh. Um....Hi. Tom. '' Tord said, nervously. '' Why are you really here, Tord? Whatever absolutely terrible thing your gonna do this time, just do it. I don't care if you wreck the house. Just do it so none of us have to suffer. '' Tom asked. Tord's eyes widened. Even more than before. '' Do you really think..... that even in a time like THIS. When I'm down to absolutely nothing, that I would try to do something stupid? I'm NOT stupid Tom. I know I'm useless now. So don't try to remind me. '' Tord said. Tord slammed the suitcase he had opened closed. Tom backed out of the room and walked down the hall into his own room.
