Deadly Task (Eddsworld Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

Edd Gould and his friends, Tom, Tord, and Matt, sat uninterested in their living place of the house that they all shared. They worked as mercenaries in a small, but wealthy kingdom that was created in England. Of course, this was a small kingdom, where not a lot of tasks that paid a lot of money.

Edd sat in his rather used chair, resting his head on his hand," Guys... Do we have any tasks yet?" He asked, his voice slightly muffled from his hand. He glanced over to his three friends, who were all crammed on to a small couch.

Tord threw his head back in annoyance, groaning in anger," Ugh! No! This is like the 29th time that you've asked today!" He snapped.

Matt whined out of boredom, staring down at his hands in his lap," We haven't had any tasks to do in weeks, we're never going to get paid..."

Tom, who really didn't seem to care about not having a task to complete, glared at the wall with his literally empty eyes," I just want a fucking nap and some alcohol..."

There was a brief moment of silence between all of them, before there was a sudden knock at the door. Edd immediate response was," I'll get it!"

Tord didn't seem too happy," I swear to god, if it's the mailman again..." he mumbled under his breath.

Matt was getting a little too excited over the simple knock on the door," Maybe it's a task for us!"

Tom switched his glared over to Matt," I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you, Matt."

Edd ignored all of his friends comments as he opened the front door." Hello? How may I help you?" He asked, as he saw a man standing on his door step. This man was definitely part of a royal guard that belonged to one of the few large manors within the kingdom. He was taller than Edd by a few inches, with auburn hair and tan skin. He was dressed is a lot of black, despite it being almost summer. His turtle neck was black, with the exception of a stripe of red fabric on both shoulders, his pants were also black and his boots were a very dark gray. Although, oddly enough, this man did not seem to be phased at all by the heat. The man slightly bowed before he spoke.

"I am Rodney, and I have come to you with a task requests from Lady Sketch from the Art Manor. We have a very important task that we need to be completely as soon as possible, do you accept?" He asked, not having to wait long for an answer.

"WE ACCEPT!" Edd blurted out, grasping the collar of his vibrant green hoodie out of excitement.

Rodney blinked a few time before saying anything," Alright.. well then please inform your friends that they will need to pack some necessities to take with them, for this task should take about a week, if not more." He explained.

Matt stared at Edd as he continued to talk to the unknown stranger," Hey, Tom, Do you know who that guy is? Is he here for a task?" He asked, not taking his eyes away from Edd and Rodney.

Tom scoffed, also watching the two as they talked," Don't know, don't care."

Matt frowned slightly," Well, I care!"

"Lame" was Tom's only response.

After a few more minutes of Edd talking to Rodney at the door, he quickly shut the door, making Matt perk up a little," Well, who was that?"

Edd stood there, facing the door for a moment, before quickly turning around, practically jumping with excitement," Guys! Pack some stuff because we're leaving for Art manor!"

Matt bounced on the couch with happiness, swinging his arms and legs around," Yay! I called it! I so called it!!"

Tom groaned as he sunk down into the couch," Damn, I wanted that nap.."

Edd stared at the small, poorly drawn, map that Rodney have given him before he left," we it looks like this is it, guys! Art Manor!" He said as he looked up from the map and at the large house. Matt came up behind Edd, his mouth was wide open in awe.

"Whoa! This place looks huge! How have we not worked here before?!" He was basically drooling from the sight of the house.

Tord cleared his throat as he looked around the the yard," If anything goes missing while we're here, I didn't do it.."

(Definitely not my house, just imagine this house with just slightly darker colors and not modern af)

Edd shrugged and started walking towards the door," Alright, lets go inside, shall we?"
