-Tord's pov-
I should've known better, thinking that I was safe here.. now I'm face to face with two top notch soldiers what I see as family, Patryk and Paul. Tom kneels next to me, hiding his monster-like claws what are now out of his pockets. Luckily the darkness of the room hides them, I'd hate for Pat and Paul to find out Tom's secret, it would mean the end of his freedom if the word reached Issac's ears. "Well, Well, Well... looks like Tord has a boyfriend" Paul chuckles, his face illuminated by the quater moon outside the open window. Thomas frowns at them, obviously feeling tense right now due to the way he's looking at Paul. "Tord, you are to come with us peacefully, or else" Patryk says grapping hold of his little pistol what lays in his pocket. It looks as if hes trying to be scary but he ends up looking like is an ordinary friendly soldier, Thomas stands up, taking his hand off my shoulder and stepping infront of me. He stares coldly and protectively at the soldiers and says "Leave him alone" almost growling under his breath, Paul smirks and I stand up just behind tom. "What are you gona do about it? Lover boy" Paul says challenging Thomas like the idiot he is. Tom goes to take a step forward but I put my hand on his shoulder making him look back at me a little worried, but mostly determined. I shake my head, "you don't have to do this" I whisper so only he can hear me. He looks away for a second before looking at me more determined and loving, "No, I'm not losing you to these idiots" he says turning away.

Paul then proceeds to reach for his gun, but before he can Tom shoves him into the wall knocking his pistol to the ground and making it slide across the floor over to me. I pick it up and point it at Patryk making him look at me with shock, "leave now or I'll shoot" i yell taking a few steps closer to Pat and holding the gun in the derecition of his head. (Tord nnoooo stop it, pat is precious). "Tord, let's talk about thi-" I butt in not letting him finish "there is nothing left to say Pat! I'm not going back.." I say as Paul fidgets in Tom's grasp. "Wait! Tord! Please don't do this" he pleads as I take the safety off the gun, I put my finger on the trigger making Pat flinch. "Ok, ok!.. we'll leave you alone" Paul mumbles making Tom let go, I take the gun away from pat's face and point it at the ground. "Get out of here soldier" I say to the both of them Surprisingly, they both leave out the window without putting up a fight. I go to walk back over to tom but I hear the word "Tord". I look outside to see Paul glaring at me with worry, fear and anger, all mixed together. "Next time things won't be so easy" he wispers walking off, Patryk looks at me with guilt before walking off after Paul.

I watch as two of my most trusted friends from my past leave me. I should feel glad but to be honest.. I feel a mix of confusion, anger and sadness. I tense feeling Tom put his hand on my shoulder, "you allright" he asks noticing the way I look at the pair of soldiers walking off into the shadows of the night.

(Dam I acidenally published it.. screw it I'm still writing)

I grap hold of his hand on my shoulder and turn towards him, his gaze is littered with worry. "I'm fine thomas" I say softly, he smiles back at me the worry in his gaze lifting into a comforting look. "What are we gonna tell edd?" I mumble moving my gaze away from his and scratching the back of my head. He shrugs before folding his arms quickly, "we don't have to tell them anything" he replies trying to be more serious. I chuckle a little turning my head back toward him, he frowns realising that he looks like an idiot. "We should clean up" he says leaning down and picking up the gun lying on the floor. 'That looks like my gun, odd..', I sigh and walk back over to the windowsill. I lean against the frame and look off to where Paul and Pat once stood in the dark mumbling to myself quietly, "hope they're ok.. wherever they went to".

-Timeskip-

Turns out that I'd take alot longer to clean than we expected, surprisingly there was a dent in the wall were Tom had pinned down Paul and a few bloodstains on the carpet from who knows what. It would take a miracle to get the stains out, Edd would definitely notice this unlike Matt, he'd take months until he saw it. We eventually headed downstairs when I saw edd and Matt coming round the corner of the street through the window. As we went out the door and down the hall I decided to take a look at Tom, his hoodie sleeves were torn from where his monster claws had come out. His hands had a few small bloodstains scattered across the tips of his claws, probably Paul's blood.. did he really dig that deep?. I then look towards his face, he looks calm but I can tell that he's hiding his emotions behind a mask. He cares about others more than himself, unlike Matt, it takes days to get him away from the mirror. His claws and teeth are out right now, he should probably do something about that before the others get back.

"You should clean yourself up before Edd and Matt get back" I say quietly trying to comfort him. He sighs looking over to me, "ok, keep them busy will you?" He asks stopping at the bathroom door. I nod and keep walking until I reach the living room, I glance around the room for once. Apart from the red sofa and the Tv, there's a few other additions like a few pictures hanging on the walls. I notice a picture of me hanging alongside a few other portraits of the guys, except mine has a few scribbles on it in red. I frown noticing someone gave me devil horns and a tail, probably Matt or Tom... before he began to accept me as a person. I shutter a the thought of tom in the old days, he used to be so harsh at times until one day he just.. changed.

I shake my head snapping out of my trance as the doorbell rings, I walk over allready knowing who it is. "Hey Edd, Hey Matt" I say opening the door for Edd and matt, Edd smiles for a short second walking through the door before pausing and glaring at my hoodie. Matt walks in and shuts the door as edd speaks, "what's that?" I tilt my head a little before looking down and noticing a pistol sitting in my pocket. 'I knew that wasn't Patryk's pistol on the floor', "oh uh, it's just one of my guns" I chuckle trying to wipe it off as nothing happened. His eyes droop a little as he looks at me seriously, "riigghhttt, we'll it's almost time to sleep so make sure that you put your 'toys' away" he says sarcasticly before turing away and walking off. I hear Matt jump as he opens the bathroom door to tom with his claws and tail now out, chuckle walking over to the sofa pondering to myself 'I wonder how things are back there'.

-??? (Issac's) Pov-

The snowstorm flooded the courtyard with snow making it hard to do any activities today, I sir in my office wearing my usual outfit finishing the last of my papers before there's a knock at the door. I swivel my desk chair around and sigh, 'can't there be scilence for 5 minutes?'. "Who is it?" I ask as the door creaks open. My eyes widen with surprise seeing two soldiers walk in, "so, did you catch him?" I ask politely and sofly. The two look away nervously as though they're hiding something, my fingers twitch impatiently around a pencil as I wait for an answer. "Well uh.. you see sir.. we uh.. maybe uh.. kinnddaa failed" Paul says slowly trying to be calm, I look down as my gaze darkens. 'What am I gona do, all hope is lost, you'll never be as great as him, you're a fail-' "Sir?" I snap out of my thoughts hearing Patryk's voice break into the room. "Yes Patryk?" He looks at me with worry, he raises his hand, "Are you ok-" "this looks like a good time to step in". The three of us jump looking glancing over to the doorway, all my fears hit me at once as I stare at the figure in the doorway. They take a few steps into the room, enough to make me shiver with fear. The soldier walks past Paul and Pat like they don't exist and aproch me, looming over me in my chair. They're words crack through the air sending scilence through the air and making Paul and Pat step back "Tell me Issac.. where. Is. He. Hiding?.."
