Ice Cold (TomTord)

1. Cold

Tord's POV:

Run. That's all I could do now. I needed to escape. Escape from the past...the guilt...the pain. I kept running away from the base, not caring if it was cold or not. It was snowing and the middle of winter.

After a few minutes, my legs gave up and I fell on the cold snow. I started crying. 'Wow, pathetic.' I thought to myself as I hid my face. I was lost in the woods. But lost isn't the best word to describe it.

I didn't have a home now. And it's all just because of a stupid mission I had to do!

I was told to sneak in the Blue Army's base and steal some projects or something. Paul and Patryck came with me.

But, it looked like they were ready for us... There was an explosion. Fire everywhere. I couldn't escape...

And then, I saw a wall falling right at me. Before I could react, Paul and Patryck stopped it from falling. They looked at me with tears in their eyes while still holding the broken wall. "Go. Run. Escape!" They yelled at me.

I shook my head almost crying. "Go... I don't think we can hold it much longer..." Paul said. "N-no! I can't leave you!" I yelled at them, crying.

"But you have to, Tord... Goodbye..." They said and right then, the wall crushed them... "No!" I screamed and saw the building was falling apart. I quickly made my way to the exit. I stood there, panting and crying. "No... I'm so sorry..."

I sobbed in my sleeves. "I'm...sorry..."

Tom's POV:

"Hey Tom, get the popcorn, please!" I heard Edd shout at me from the living room. "Okay!" I yelled back. We were having a movie night again and of course watching 'The Return Of The Insane Zombie Pirates From Hell 1'.

I took out a bowl and filled it with popcorn. I took it in the living room and sat on the couch next to Edd. I handed them the bowl and Matt tuned on the tv.

"Wow, such a shame Tord isn't here. This was his favourite movie." Edd said while taking some popcorn. "Well, he isn't here. And I don't really miss that Commie." I answered. I didn't really wanted to talk about him.

"To be honest, I kinda miss him. I mean, we had lots of fun together and he was a part of the group, our friend." He said. "He wasn't my friend." I simply said.

"Tom, come on. I know you deep inside still cared about him." Edd said while smiling. "Nah." I answered. "Okay guys, the movie is starting!" Matt said and sat next to Edd from the other side. I was happy that that changed the subject.

'Huh, now that I think about it, I'm kinda wondering what he's doing...'

Tord's POV:

It was getting late and I was walking around the forest, alone. I could hear the wind whooshing and all I could see is white.

Snowflakes were falling from the sky and there was a lot of snow. 'Now, where should I go?' I thought to myself. I then spotted something...a lake! I mean, it was frozen, but it was still a lake. I walked closer and saw a big tree.

But the tree was hollow. There was a big hole in it. I stared at it for a while. 'Well, I guess it's better then nothing.' I thought and kneeled down.

Thankfully I could fit in there. I was glad I was small at that moment. I remember Tom always making fun of me for being small, but now I'm glad. (I know Tord isn't the smallest, guys, but I just like it that way, so deal with it.)

I curled up in a ball and closed my eyes. It wasn't really that comfortable, but it's the best place I could find.

I tried to fall asleep, but even after minutes and hours I couldn't. I groaned and opened my eyes again. I looked outside through the hole. I saw something that kinda startled me...

There was a pair of red eyes staring at me from the darkness since it was already dark and it was night. "W-who goes there..?" I asked quietly, stuttering a bit. But I got no responce. I blinked and suddenly, the eyes were gone.

"Huh?" I said quietly to myself. 'I guess I'm just tired, I just need some sleep.' I thought to myself. I sighed and closed my eyes again.

'I wonder how Edd, Matt and Tom are doing without me...' I thought to myself and closed my eyes, finally falling into a deep, dark sleep...

Edd's POV:

The movie ended. I turned off the tv and turned the lights back on. It was already dark outside. I took the empty bowl and took it in the kitchen.

"Welp, it was a good movie." Matt said. Tom just stood there, silent. I noticed he was holding a flask. I rolled my eyes, but didn't really comment it. I smiled at Matt. "I know, I wish Tord was here to see this again." I said.

When I mentioned Tord's name, Tom groaned. "Lame." He said and took a sip from his flask. I sighed. "Tom, we've been talking about that alcohol." I said in a motherly voice.

"Well sorry, MOM." He answered trying to act as stubborn as he could. He really was a kid sometimes. I checked the time. It was 9 pm already? I yawned as I thought that. "Well guys, I'm going to bed. It's late and I'm tired." I said.

Matt waved at me while smiling. "Goodnight, Edd!" He said. I smiled back at him and waved as well. "Goodnight, Matt. I then turned to Tom.

"Goodnight to you too, Tom. Don't get drunk too much, you know you will have a hangover tomorrow. And you don't want that, right?" I asked him.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." He answered. I chuckled and then started walking to my room. 'Welp, I think I might try and call Tord tomorrow to see how he's doing.'
