—edd's pov—

edd finally reached the top, gasping for breath and looking over his shoulder at tord. he turned to face the norwegian and took a couple steps back. loose pebbles broke off and fell towards the roaring ocean waters below.

"t- tord.. don't come any closer." edd begged, losing all the confidence he had before.

"looks like you're trapped." tord raised an eyebrow. a smug smirk spread across his face. edd wished he could claw it off. "what're you gonna do~?"

edd gulped down air and threw a look over his shoulder at the ocean. i can't let tord kill me. tom and matt have already died at his hands; i can't let myself give in, either. he looked at tord again, hazel gaze hardening.

without another word, edd turned and kicked off from the ledge, plummeting towards the ocean. the wind whipped past by him as he saw tord's figure on the rock watching him.

—tord's pov—

tord's eyes widened as he watched edd's body grow smaller and smaller. "that drop is sure to kill him." he murmured to himself with a small smirk. "what an idiot. shame i couldn't get his hoodie."

satisfied the job was done, he turned and began to walk down the overhanging rock, sliding a few times because of the mud. when he got to the bottom he walked back to his camp, yawning and stretching his arms. tord decided he was tired and crawled into his sleeping hut. he laid down face up, a smile reaching his face.

they're all dead.

tord's smile grew as his eyes drifted closed. a small chuckle escaped him.

i'm unstoppable.

—edd's pov—

edd gasped for air before beginning to hack up water as he dragged himself onto shore. he collapsed on the sand and breathed heavily. every bone in is body ached from the way he'd crashed through the water and swam the long way to shore. he laid there tiredly, gazing at the sky painted with orange and pink. it was already sunset.

half an hour passed by and edd felt a little bit of energy restore in him. he sighed and forced himself to stand up, knees shaking. water dripped from his hair and clothing. "got to find.. t- tord..." edd rasped, narrowing his eyes. he made his way towards the forest and wandered through it more confidently once his legs got used to walking.

as time passed, edd realized the forest becoming more familiar. he wound his way through the trees and eventually reached the edge of the forest again, peering out. the sun was just disappearing over the horizon, painting the sky black.

edd spotted tord's small sleeping hut and a figure inside. anger surged through him in a sudden rush. without thinking twice, edd walked towards the hut, fists clenched.

edd stood over tord's sleeping figure and glared down at him, scowling. "worthless asshole." he picked up a rock off to the side and kneeled in front of tord.

conflicting emotions ran through the brunette.

should he do this? could he?

edd's hazel gaze wandered over to the overhanging rock he'd jumped off of. tom and matt's hoodies hung there. he looked at tord once more and lifted the rock up, tears poking at the corner of his eyes.

edd brought down the rock with all the force he had. there was a loud crack; he must've fractured tord's skull. it wasn't enough. he began to repeatedly bring the rock down, blood spattering on him with each blow.

soon enough, edd dropped the rock to the side and gazed at tord's bloody mess of a head. he breathed shakily and stood up, sniffling when tears rolled down his cheeks. "i'm glad you're dead."

he silently walked towards tom and matt's hoodies. he took them both down and sat on the ground, hugging them to his chest. "i'm sorry, guys..." edd whispered.

the end

this is the ending if edd had jumped. next i'll write the part where he stays and fights, but i don't know when that will be out.
