Eddsworld Opposite day AU: Ouija board experience.

Ouija: Paralyzed

3:10 am

Edd's POV:

Mhhh...

Hm..?

Huh?

I try to move my arms, I can't move.

I try to move my legs, I can't move.

I try to move anything, my body is paralysed.

I try to squirm, or scream, or anything. But it doesn't work.
Then, I see something in the corner of the room. Its just staring at me...
It inches closer, its like made out of shadows..
It hovers over me with its long, slender, shadowy arms...almost touching my face.
Its red eyes peirce mine.
My eyes well up, and I uncontrollably sob, my hands can move again, so I cover my face. I'm trembling, as the monster walks back to the corner, and then disappears from existence.
I bolt up, and look around my room, still crying.
I can't seem to find where that thing went. I walk out of my room, and close the door behind me. I fast walk to the couch, the darkness is all around and I helplessly sit on the couch, sobbing.
There isn't really anywhere for me to go, and I refuse to go back into my room.

So I just sit, cry, and wait...
For anything..
I then grow tired, and fall asleep on the couch.

10:15 am

I hesitantly get up, I look around the living room. I'm still on the couch, and I seem to be the only one awake. The room is steady, and quiet. The only thing I can hear is my breathing and heartbeat. I rub my eyes, they are still wet from crying last night.
I sit in silence, not really looking at anything, just spacing out.
Then, a door opening breaks the silence. I gasp, then cover my mouth.
Footsteps are getting closer to where I am. Tears stream down my face, but I try not to make a sound. I feel like vomiting.
Tom looks over at the corner at me, smiling and waving. A wave of relief waves over my body, but I still feel sick.
"T-Tom.." I weakly croak.
Tom's smile fades, and he rushes over to me, sitting down. Tom hugs me, and rubs my back, trying to calm me down.
"Edd, what's the matter?" Tom says. "Please, it's going to be okay. Just tell me what's wrong!"
I sniff and look up at Tom.
His eyes are filled with worry.
His face is also very pale, was his face always like that?
I start to notice that Tom's usual cheery blushes are gone, and he has bags under his eyes.
"D-Did you get sleep *hic* last night, T-Tom..?"
Tom shakes his head.
"Not really, but that's not important right now!" Tom says, hugging me again.
He pulls away and looks at me in the eyes.
"Now, what happened?" Tom said, getting comfortable.

I told Tom about what happened last night, but brushed it off as just sleep paralysis, and it didn't have anything to do with eairler, the Ouija board.
Tom didn't seem to let me brush it off, as he kept asking questions, and trying to give me comfort, and not believing when I said I was okay.
"Tom, really, I'm fine now." I said tiredly.
"No," Tom protested.
"You are NOT okay! Nothing about this is okay!"
Tom got up from the couch and started pacing around the living room.
He kept saying to me,
"I'll help you,"
And
"Nothing about last night was okay."

I tried protesting, but in the end, I gave up.
Tom was right.
Last night was terrifying, but I can't let him help me with this if it has more to do then just my imagination.
"No." I said calmly.
Tom turned to face me with a shocked expression.
"You don't want me to help you?"
Tom asked.
I noded.
"But why?!" Tom said a bit louder. I shrugged, and started to look at the floor, spacing out.
Tom's words now were muffled, and I felt like passing out, until...
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
Tom snapped his fingers infront of me, and I was now paying attention.
"Huh?" I asked, and looked up at Tom. Tom had a serious look on his face.
"You need my help." Tom stated.
"Whether you like it or not."

I looked away from Tom's direction.
I wanted to protest.
I wanted to say everything is fine.
But, I also need everything to be fine.
But... I can't just let him worry about me!
I want to keep Tom calm, to feel safe. But, how can he feel safe in a place like this right now..?
"Tom.." I said. Tom turned to me, with hopeful eyes.
"I can't let you worry about me right now."
Tom had a disappointed look on his face, but nodded. He stayed on the couch however, staring at the tv. I knew he wanted to help, but I'm not a person worth worring about.
I can take care of myself,
For now at least.

11:03

Everyone is at the breakfast table by now, no one has mentioned about the Ouija board yet.
I knew today wasn't going to be a good one.
One, I made Tom upset, so he's going to be slightly moody and protective.
Two, I need to take Ringo to the vet, if she can't be helped, I have to bury her.
And that shouldn't be on my
to-do list..
I stared blankly out the window, not really thinking much.
All of my friend's voices were muffled, at this point I was in a different world, and I hoped no one was trying to talk to me.
I wasn't really in the mood to talk. I'm tired, sad, and just want to be alone...
But isn't that hard when you have three roommates?
"Edd." A muffled voice said.
I turned around, and saw Matt looking at me concerned.
"Huh? uh, what?" I stuttered.
I didn't exactly want to talk to anyone today, but I cant just not talk to anyone. Its kinda hard to. 
"Are you doing alright?"
I nodded to Matt, and looked towards Tom, he had a worried look on his face.

"Well, Tom kinda told me about that you were crying this morning." Matt says.
I give a glare at Tom, he looks away like he's scared or something.
"I just had a bad dream." I said calmly, then turning away, looking back out the window.
"Does it have anything to do with yesterday..?" Tord asked quietly, like he wanted to know, but he didn't want to make me mad.
I turned to Tord, I felt his eyes examine my face.
"I don't know." I said, then standing up. Without even finishing my breakfast.
"You probably should stay, you haven't been eating lately." Tom said with a worried tone, standing up.
"I-I just need to think, I'll eat later.." I said, walking out of the kitchen, with Tom closely behind.

I grab my car keys and walk to the bathroom to freshen up. I lock the door behind me so Tom doesn't come in.
"You can say what's on your mind, Edd!" Tom said through the door.
"Fine." I said.
"I think that your being very clingy over nothing!"
I hear Tom gasp quietly behind the door.
I unlock it, and open it up.
Not surprised to see Tom in my way.
"I'm going to take Ringo to the vet, just..."
I look into Tom's innocent, black, eyes.
"Just stay here, okay?"
Tom nods to me, and looks down at the ground disappointed.
I put my hand on Tom's shoulder, trying to console him.
"It's going to be okay." I said quietly, and then walked away.

I go to my room, and check Ringo's breathing. It's very slow..
I pick up her limp body, and walk out, to the car. The sun shining in my eyes, and a gentle breeze on my face.
I gently put Ringo down in the back seat, and wrap her in a blanket that I had in my car.
I start up the car, and start backing up.
"Edd! Wait!" I hear a muffled voice cry.
I roll down the passenger seat window, and look at the house, Matt is waving his arms and starts running towards the car.
I sigh.
"What do you want?" I say annoyed, and almost about to break into tears.
"Please, let me go with you." Matt says, leaning on the car and had a worried look.
"Matt, please I-"
"I know you want to be alone." Matt interrupted.
"But please, you can't just avoid everyone."
I look at Matt hesitantly.
"Let me come with you, please."
I sigh and then unlock the passenger seat door, Matt jumps in quickly and gives me a small smile. Before I could say anything, Matt leans over and gives me a hug, and then pulls away to buckle his seatbelt.
I back up the car, and then drive off to the vet.

The car ride is very silent.
Normally, I turn on the radio, but I am too focused on the road and just don't really want to turn it on.
I'm not in the mood.
