New Times (Fanfic Version)

Unwelcoming

Tord stood up and held BunBun close. He found some paper and a pen in the old dusty room he was in. He smiled and drew a picture of him and the others. He found some markers and colored it in the best of his abilities. He chuckled to himself and ran out the room and into the living room where Tom was sitting watching TV. "Tom! I drawded you a pic-" "What are you doing out of your room?!" Tom yelled standing up and charging towards Tord. "I-I drawded you something..." Tord said backing up and holding up the picture. Tom took the drawing from Tord and growled ripping it up and throwing it on the ground. "I workded hard on that...." Tord said to himself, trying to hold back tears. Tom picked Tord and and threw him into the room, leaving a bruise on his arm under his hoodie. "STAY IN HERE!...I don't want to see your face..." Tom said as he slammed the door shut again. Tord was crying by this point holding his arm. "Oh and by the way!" Tom said coming back into the room. "If you tell ANYBODY what I'm doing i'll throw you off the roof!" then he walked out the room and slammed the door once again.

A little later Tom brought Tord some oatmeal with little candies in it that when they get hot they melt and turn into dinosaurs. "When you finish this put it on the desk and go to sleep...goodnight..." Tom said before walking out again. Tord really liked that Tom was being nice to him especially since it involved food. When he went to Edds in the morning he was excited to get to see him again. They had a great time watching the Wiggles and playing twister. When Edd was giving Tord a bath he noticed the bruise but didn't really ask about it since it wasn't that bad and he assumed he fell or something. He had a lot of fun with Matt as well. He braided his hair and made him whipped cream mixed with strawberry syrup. Then...he had to go back to Tom's. He was excited though. He thought Tom had lightened up to him. So he skipped over with Matt and waved goodbye again just like last time. When Tom shut the door he looked at Tord with that same serious yet angry glare he had the first time.

"Can we-" "No..." Tom said, cutting off Tord. "Go to your room...and stay in there...just like last time..." "But-" "NO BUTS! GO!" Tord backed up and slowly walked to the room. It was getting really dark so he decided to step out to see what Tom was doing. Everywhere was pitch black. He was used to a hall light being on or something. He knew Tom had gone to bed. Tord sighed and closed the door, walking over to the bed and attempting to climb into it. The bed was really high and he could barely get his little legs up so he fell. He tried not to cry and tried again. He finally got up there and cuddled up to BunBun as he tried to go to sleep.

He sat up terrified. He had a nightmare. He was alone and it was dark, everyone was just gone. Not even BunBun was there. When he realized it was a dream he hugged BunBun and got out of bed. He slowly walked over to Tom's room and shook Tom a little bit. "Tom....I has a nightmare...I was alone...it were dark...nobody was there..." Tom groaned and rolled over to face Tord. "Cry me a river...go back to bed..." "C-Can...I sleep with you?..." Tom rolled back over and growled. He grabbed a book off his nightstand and threw it at Tord hitting the same arm. Tord held his arm again and looked up at Tom with tears in his eyes. "Go back to bed..." Tom said again rolling back over. Tord sighed and walked out into the hallway. Everything he saw looked like a monster. He kept backing up until he hit the wall. He slid down and hugged BunBun tightly. He started sobbing until about an hour later when he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he was awoke by Tom kicking him in the back. He sat up and peeped a small 'ow'. "Get up crybaby..." Tom said as he threw Tords stuff at him and picked him up by his arm again, dragging him to the door. He was so happy to see Edd. He couldn't tell Edd about the abuse since Tom had threatened to throw him off the roof. When Matt was trying to take him over to Tom's, he struggled and tried to stall. "Come on Tord...its time to go see Tom" Matt said standing at the door waiting for Tord to walk with him. Tord was clutching BunBun and standing back. Matt eventually got him to Tom's and waved goodbye but Tord wouldn't let go. "Aw Tord..." Matt sighed and hugged Tord one more time before tugging his arm back and walking away. When Tom shut the door, Tord kept his gaze down and backed up to the hallway. When he reached the floor that separated the kitchen to the hallway he turned and ran into his room.

Tord built up the courage to try again. Maybe Tom just didn't know he was a good kid. Tord worked on another picture putting lots of love into it this time. Tord walked out of his room slowly walking towards the kitchen where Tom was making something. It smelled delicious and Tord had only had a half a PB&J the whole day. "Tom! I drawded you another picture!" Tord yelled holding up the picture. Tom turned around and growled snatching the picture from Tord and stuffing it in the sink. He turned on the garbage disposal and Tord could see pieces of his picture flying around. Tord sighed and looked down. "It ok! I make you another-" "stop TALKING LIKE THAT!" Tom yelled turning around quickly. "but...I can't help-" "Yes you can! Learn english dammit!" "I trying..." Tord said tearing up.

"Its not I trying...its I'M TRYING!" Tom yelled throwing a fork at Tord which left a cut on his left cheek. Now Tord was crying and he held his cheek trying to get the pain to stop. Tom marched over and grabbed his arm, dragging him again back to his room. He swung open the door anf threw Tord in. "Can I at least has something to-" Tom slammed the door shut and Tord looked down, more tears rolling down his cheeks. "...eat..."
