Don't Forget Me

Chapter One

Tom had been wandering through the caves again, running his hand against the wall. As he walked on, he felt the cold, rocky texture of the cave wall beside him. Everything was silent. Well, everything but the voice in his head. It wasn't loud right now, so, he had learned to ignore it for now. Eventually, he just stopped walking, completely. He let his hand slide down the wall, and drop at his side, before he turned and leaned against the bare wall. Thinking about that voice made it grow louder and louder.

You're useless. Nothing. You can't do anything correct. Why bother?

He slid to the ground, not caring about the pain in his back, as the rocks pressed against his spine. He brought his knees close to his face, and wrapped his arms around his legs.

You're nothing but a bother to them. Why do you stick around. They say they need you, but what can you do? Nothing. That's right, nothing.

"Help.." he muttered to no one in particular. But in his head, he screamed it.

Edd was spinning a web for a hammock. He was rather tired. Him and Tord has just caused a few small Earthquakes to keep the balance, and the more they make, the more energy was taken out of him. However, as soon as he laid down, he sensed something was off. He sat up, and tried figuring out what was wrong, when he realized it was about Tom.

He was stuck in his head again. This happened too often, and quite frankly, Edd wished it would stop. He tried convincing Tom that he was needed. That he was wanted here. But, no matter what he tried, the God still got lost in his mind. He was hurting, and Edd felt bad that he wasn't able to do much about it.

He frowned as he stood up from his sticky hammock. He finds a large tree branch, and makes it pound into the ground over and over again, in Morse Code.

He said, "Tom, get up here, so I can give you the comfort and care you need." He'll often say things like this to him, hoping to make him smile. He just hoped Tom wasn't too trapped to hear him. Because only Tom knows his way around those caves, and no one would be able to find him for days.

Luckily, Tom did hear him. He looked up, and quickly translated the sounds into words, before he sighed, and faded into the wall, joining with the shadows.

Going as fast as he could, Tom gradually made his way upward, towards the surface. Right before stepping out of the caves, he faded out of the shadows. Then, he stepped out into the bright, setting sun, indicating the nightfall. He looked around at the forestry around him. Before he could progress any further, he felt a pair of wings wrap around his body, enveloping him in warmth. Edd was in front of him, hugging him with a strength that says 'I'll never let you go.' Neither exchange any words, as Tom hugs his friend back. His head still swarmed with voices, but this was nice for now.

For now...

You'd better hug back as hard as you can Thomas. You won't be seeing him again.

That's true...

You see, Tom had an idea. An experiment. The God wanted to see how much his 'friends' would actually miss him. If they would.

Tom was going to vanish.

[Short Chapter One! I'm actually really really excited for this story tbh. I hope you enjoyed this crap!]
