Tord's POV
"Tom...... he um.... hit you across the head when you didn't have enough time to get out..." Mark said slowly. Careful with his words.
Everything was slowly coming back to me. Again. Damn, Tom with those punches. I have no idea where he gets that power from since he looks so skinny. " I remember now." I say. I look over and see that Tom was very nervous. But he was surprisingly holding his emotions back. For me, I can just tell if someone is feeling happy, sad, nervous, angry.... anything.
"Good. Can we get back to the conversation?" Says Edd.
"Ok." I say under my breath.
"So you said sorry. Tell me why." Says Tom.
"I noticed that over the year, I had this strange urge to come back to you guys again and go on all sorts of adventures again. That urge was becoming stronger and stronger by the week. And I was already feeling guilt in my chest, but when I think about the memories we've made, I just.... collapsed..... I was so heart broken that I started to have nightmares. About 3-4 a week an-"
"A WEEK?!" Edd yells. Making Matt jump and drop his mirror that he brought with him, drop on the table with a loud shatter.
"NNNNOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! My mirror" Matt looked down sadly.
"It's ok Matt, I'll buy you a new one." Whispers Edd. And gets a reply of,
"Yay!"
"Anyways, Tord. What are these nightmares about?" Tom asks.
"They're about.... ummm" I start to feel uncomfortable about thinking about their pity about the dreams I have. I take a deep breath and start again.
"They're about the events. But they were a bit different."
"How so?" Edd shoots back at me.
"Well, instead of the harpoon missing me by a couple of inche-"
I hear Tom gasp and see his eyes widening.
"Was I really THAT close?" He said quietly.
"Yeah. I actually was able to lift my arm away from the harpoon just in time to just get a large scrape. But, as you can see... the explosion and the fall was what really hurt."
"Oh my god." Tom muttered.
"Anyways, instead of that happening, the harpoon hit me in the chest. And when I landed, my two... uh.... co-workers or friends, found me. But they then abandoned me cause they thought that I wasn't worth saving."
"That's awful" says Matt surprisingly.
I look around to see everyone having pity for me. It was that easy to see it. I sigh and stand up. I slowly grab my crunches which are beside me on the couches arm and start to move towards the door.
"Wait! Where are you going?!" This was Tom who says this.
I look over to him and sigh.
"I feel like this was a mistake to come here. You all pity me, and well, I don't want to have so much pressure that's coming from me to you guys. It will probably get worse and worse and all the way to the point where you guys can't handle it and tell me to leave." I look down after saying that. I turn around and limp all the way to the door until I feel one arm, and then another wrap around me. I my eyes widen as I see that those arms were from Tom. All of a sudden, I feel four more pairs of arms wrap around me and Tom. I look to see that Tom, Edd, Matt, Eduardo, and Mark all have their arms around me. I smile and close my eyes feeling comfort in the warmth of everyone together.
"So, why did you destroy the houses and everything?" Says Eduardo.
I wince at the thought of telling them about the army.
"I-I um...."
"Your a leader of an army" Edd says.
Everyone looks at him with the same expression that easily shows disbelief and wonder. Exept me. Everyone turns back to me.
"Is this true?" Says Tom.
"Yes" I close my eye.
"Which leader?"
"..."
"Tord?"
"I'm... the Red Leader...."
Everyone gasps at this. Even Edd who has already heard this.
"But why?" Asked Matt.
"I wanted to make the world better. And fair."
"By controlling it??" Asked Mark
"Yeah. I could make the rules and everyone would follow. But of course, the rules would be fair to people. The reason why I did destroy the houses was that I was so into my work on taking over the world that I thought that the only thing holding me back was you guys. I was basically daydreaming on how I would take over the world and how I would rule it.... and I thought that if I got rid of you guys, I wouldn't have anything really holding me back. Or know me very well. But... I-I'm glad that Tom s-shot me with that h-harpoon."
I look to see Eduardo looking down with his eyes shut.
"You.... you succeeded on taking out one of us. Y-you KILLED Jon!"
My eyes widen and I feel guilt over whelk me. What have I done?!
