    Tom stood up and held out a hand for you. You grabbed his arm tightly and he pulled you up swiftly.
    "Common we gotta get out of here." Tom said as he began to pull you towards the way they came. You moved forwards trying to keep up with him but ended up falling behind him. He spun his body, "(y/n) are you okay? Can you walk?" He said with concern in his voice.
    You looked up and stared into his dark eyes before answering. "I don't think so... they injected something into me and I-" before you could finish Tom wrapped his left arm around your back and his right arm under your legs. He lifted you up carefully, "What did they do to you?"
    You looked down at the ground and stared as they continued moving. "I don't know really. They injected some red fluid into my arm. I can't feel anything besides pain." Tears began to rush to your eyes. Soon they were streaming down your cheeks.
     You started sobbing but stopped when Tom shushed you.
    He slowed down and so did Edd and Matt.
    "Did you hear that?" Edd whispered.
    "I did." Matt replied.
    "Stay together..."

   
    Molly looked over at Paul with confusion on her mind. "So can I ask you something? Why did you bring this bear with you guys?"
    Paul looked up as Ella listened in on the conversation.
    He sighed and spoke, "Our boss said it would calm his girlfriend down or something."
    Patryk snickered as Paul started laughing.
    Ella stood up and rushed over to Paul, she grabbed his shirt and pulled him close.
    "Do you know her name? Is it Tori?.."
    "U-uh I don't know maybe? He said some name that started with a T."
    She released her grip and backed away. Ella knew what this meant. Tori was coming back and that's why they needed that bear. Tom means a lot to (y/n) so that bear must be symbolic to her. Maybe this bear can help (y/n) gain control, but why would they want (y/n) to be in control?
    Ella flinched at the touch of Molly's hand on her shoulder. She turned around to face Molly.
    Molly looked towards the bear on the ground, "I know it's going to be okay."
    Ella relaxed, Molly knew as much as Ella so Molly knows how she feels about this.

    Edd and Matt lead the way down the hall while Tom followed behind, carrying you in his arms.
    As you hung on to Tom, there was a war going on inside your head. Every second felt like an eternity. Pain flowed from your head down to you legs. You knew that you had to stay in control, but the pain was beginning to worsen.
    You felt so weak, you could barely make a fist.
    They walked further down the hall when they were finally able to see the ladder.
    Edd turned around and whispered, "guys the exits up ahead!"
    "Alright!" Tom said as he began to walk faster.
    They all sped up, trying to get out of there as fast as possible. They reached the end of the hallway when Matt took one step around the corner and a fist stuck him in the face. Matt crashed to the ground as Tom lowered you down, setting you up against the wall. Edd and Tom watched in horror as Tord walked around the corner.
    He stared down at Matt on the ground. "Well what do we have here, a couple idiots trying to ruin everything?"
    "Please Tord just let us leave." Edd said trying to reason with him.
   Tord looked up, "I would let you and Matt leave this place but I see that Tom is here and he's found (y/n) for me so I can't let you leave. Now if you'll just hand her over no one will get hurt."
    "Now why would we do that." Tom hissed as he clenched his fist.
    "If you want to live another day then you'll do as I say." Tord reached into his coat and pulled out a 22 pistol.
    "Wait Tord! You don't have to do this." Edd pleaded.
     "I'm sorry old friend but I have to do this."
    Tom snapped, "No you don't...you didn't have to stab me but you did! You didn't have to kidnap her but you did!"
    "Tom you don't even know what's happening do you?! No you don't! You don't even know why I asked you to join me or why I needed to stab you!"
    "You want to take over the world! Why else?!"
Tord chuckled and spoke, "Classic stupid Tom, I never wanted you to help me take over the world! I just needed you to help me get to her." He said as he pointed his weapon at you.
"why? Why her!" He said violently.
"She has someone I really care about inside her head. A split personality that's been kept away for a while. You remember Tori don't you?"
Tom stared at him in surprise. "Yes but what does she have to do with this?"
    "That's her split personality."
    Tom froze then spoke, "No your crazy, she can't be Tori."
    "Am I now, why don't you just ask her."
    Tom hesitantly turned to you.
    You looked up at him with pain in your eyes.
"I'm sorry...but he's telling you the truth.."
The utter realization hit Tom instantly.
"But of course when you said no I couldn't just let you live and tell someone. By the looks of it I didn't do a very good job." Tord interrupted as he lowered his weapon.
"What are you going to do to her?" Edd said abruptly.
"I don't have to do anything now but wait. Why do you think she's so weak? Shes fighting a war she cannot win!"
"She said you injected something into her.. what did you do to her!" Tom yelled.
"I injected a serum designed to keep Tori in control and to keep (y/n) from ever surfacing again."
Tom heard enough, "you selfish bastard!" He said as he sprinted towards Tord.
Tord pointed his weapon up at Tom preparing to fire when out of nowhere Matt lunged at Tord tearing the gun from his grasp.
"THIS IS FOR MY FACE!" Matt screeched as he threw Tord to the ground.
Tom threw his fist at Tord hitting him in the face. Causing blood to flow out from his nose.
Edd grabbed your arm and threw it around him to help support you. "Common I need to get you out of here." He whispered to you.
Tom thrashed his fists into Tord while Edd made his way towards the ladder.
Tord pushed both Tom and Matt off of him, "AGH you idiots, you don't know what your doing!" He said as he chased after Edd.
    You both leaped to the ladder.
    "Here, you go first, quick-!" But before Edd could finish his sentence Tord grabbed his shoulder and jerked him back. Edd lost his balance and fell.
    You climbed with whatever strength you had left, but it wasn't enough. Tord caught up to you with in seconds and grabbed your ankle.
    "Ah-get off me!" You tried to kick him but you had no strength left. You felt you legs give and suddenly you were only hanging on by your arms. 
    "Don't resist me your going to give and fall no matter wha-" Tom jumped on Tord, pulling both of you down in the process.
    You crashed to the ground and the dam inside your head broke. The pain flooded you and you screamed out pain.
    Edd and Matt stood up and stared as you lost control.
    You held your hands over you ears trying to stop the ringing but with no success. Suddenly you were gone and it was her standing there.
    Tori looked around and realized she was finally at the exit. With a swift movement of her hand she spiked her bangs up.
    Tom looked up at tori in awe.
    "I'm so close I can't stop now." She said to herself.
    "Well I would love to stay and chat but I should get going," and with that she jumped onto the ladder and climbed as fast as she could.
    Tord pushed Tom off of him. "No stop her, she can't leave!"
    Edd chased after her while Matt helped Tom get up. Tord hopped on the ladder, Tom and Matt followed close behind.
    "Tori stop!" Tord ordered as he climbed.
    "I'm sorry but I've waited too long for this."she said as she reached the top and opened the latch. Stepping out side to see Molly and Ella wide eyed.
    She froze in her tracks.
"T-Tori?"

Ok so this took way longer than it was suppose to and I'm very sorry for that it's just that some stuff happened to me in the past couple of weeks. After I published the last part I became depressed about personal problems,after that I had to miss school for 2 days for an orchestra concert which left me with a lot of work to do, and feeling stressed. This month is going to be a very busy month. I have adjudication next week for choir and I have to make up 3 tests.
    But out of all this bad stuff there is good. I'm no longer single. I've felt a lot better since he's been here so I'll be trying my best to get everything done so I can update more frequently. Sadly I won't be putting out art for these parts until this month is over due to homework and a tight schedule, I will maybe update these parts with art later.I'll see ya then!
