Don't Forget Me

Chapter Twenty

What seemed like days must have only been hours. The room hadn't changed at all, and was starting to get bland and tasteless. They didn't want to be trapped there anymore. Edd was pacing around on the floor, after a failed attempt at flying. His wings picked him up few inches, before they fell to his side, dropping him. He had been mumbling to himself for a while. Earlier, once realizing they couldn't find a way out of there, he attempted starting a conversation with Matt, but it only ended in a horrible game of charades. So, they gave up, and sat in silence. Or, as silent as they could get with Edd's constant pacing. Matt worried both of them were slowly going insane with the sound.

"We need to get out of here. We're dreaming right?" Edd stopped, to Matt's relief, and asked. The other God nodded. Edd continued, "Hopefully, then, someone will try waking us up. Hopefully." Matt shrugged in response. He highly doubted it, but he wasn't going to tell him, for two reasons. Edd just sighed, and began pacing again. They were going insane, weren't they?

"Susan, I'm getting worried. Somethings wrong with Edd and Matt, and we need to do something!" Ringo frowned. Something was indeed wrong, but it was unknown what.

"Then, what do you propose we do?" Susan sighed. She knew they had to do something.

"We could go get Tom and Tord..! They might have an idea of what's going on."

"But, do we really want to bother them?" Susan started. Ringo sighed.

"Not really, but we might have to. They could know what's going on, even though we don't."

"True...Fine. Let's go. And if it's nothing, we leave them be again. Let those two be happy for a bit, okay?" Ringo nodded in agreement, and the two were off. They headed back to Tord's house, where the two other Gods were, and knocked on the door, when they arrived. They felt bad for ruining their moment, but, something had to be done.

The two were joking and laughing when a knock came on the door. Tord jumped up and said, "I'll get it."

"Alright. I'll be in here." Tord nodded before walking to the front door. When he opened it, he expected to see Edd or Matt, calling them down to breakfast. However, instead, he noticed Ringo, and an odd shadow looking figure on a tree behind her.

"Tord, we need your help." The shadow spoke and he backed away a bit. She continued, raising her hands to stop him, "Wait! Please!"

"Who.."

"My name is Susan, I'll explain later. But right now, we need you and Tom." Tord nodded, slowly. He walked back to the room, leaving the door open for them to follow. Ringo rushes in, Susan following her, trailing along the walls.

As Tord entered his room again, Tom spoke, "Who was it?"

"Um...Ringo and someone else..." Tord still had a look of confusion, and he looked down as the other two came into the room.

"Morning, Tom!" Ringo growled, playfully.

"Morning," he said to her before looking up to Susan, and pausing.

"You don't remember me, do you?" She said, quietly.

"I feel like I should..." Tom said, a little embarrassed. Of course he would remember her, right?

"My name is Susan. You made me years and years ago, kind of as a companion to keep you company." Tom's eyes lit up with the happy realization.

"Susan!" He exclaimed, before slouching a bit, "I'm so sorry..! I forgot you. I didn't mean to!"

"It's alright. It was bound to happen." She shrugged, and looked around a bit. Ringo growled arm tom a bit, to get his attention. He returned his gaze to her, and listened.

"Something's wrong with Edd and Matt," she said, worried. Tom tilted his head slightly, in confusion.

"We don't know what it is, but all we can deduce, is that it is not at all good." Susan continued. Tom stood, quickly, startling Tord, Who was still caught in some weird trance. Ringo glanced at him, a bit worried and confused, before turning back to Tom.

"We need to go check on them, then." Susan and Ringo nodded in agreement, and they started to head out. Right before he left the room, Tom turned to Tord and asked, "Are you coming?" Tord shook his head, and turned to Tom.

"Oh, yeah. Yeah I am."

"Alright..." Something was very wrong.

The four set out, traveling down the mountain, quickly, stumbling along the way. Ringo nearly tripped over five branches.

"Benefit to being a shadow," Susan had said, joking. Tom laughed, agreeing. As soon as they reached the ground, they began running towards Matt's home. Then, hopefully after, to Edd's.

"Tom..." Tord muttered, hoping the other could hear him. However, he couldn't. Tord stumbled before repeating himself, louder.

"Hm? What is it?" Tom called back, showing that he heard. But, Tord didn't answer. Tom slowed to a stop, turning around, Ringo and Susan following suit. The same weird aura around Edd and Matt, seemed to appear out of nowhere, around Tord. His eyes rolled back, and he fell forward, collapsing onto the ground.

"Tord!"

[Genuine request, guys. Describe my writing style. I'm curious.]
