You're Mine Now (DISCONTINUED) [Old]

My Army.. Or Tom...

Tord Pov:

I look down at Tommy Bear in my hands.

I'm not really sure what emotion to feel right now..

Sad?

Angry?

Betrayed?

No one would have a reason to kidnap Tom other than to hurt me... And no one knew we were outside of base except me and Tom.

So no one could've taken him...

It's just so hard to believe that he ran away.

I thought we were growing really close...

Maybe he was acting nice just so he could escape?

I guess I was too careless with him..

I just thought...

I just thought he was happy with me.

He acted fine.

I hear a knock at my office door and hear Matt ask, "Permission to enter?"

"Granted," I say while still looking my lap where Tommy Bear rests in my hands.

The door opens and Matt walks in.

"I-Is that.." Matt says and points to Tom's bass on my desk.

"Yes, it's Tom's bass," I say.

"Where's Tom?! He wasn't in our room last night!"

"He..."

"He what?!"

"He ran away Matt!" I feel small tears prickle my eyes.

"Wh-what?..."

"ARE YOU DEAF?! I SAID HE RAN AWAY YOU IDIOT!"

"How did he do that without being captured?!"

...

"Tell me!" Matt says.

I sigh.

"We went out to walk in London and he wanted me to get him his old things back so I left him alone for a while so I get his bass and Tommy Bear... But he was gone when I came back to get him," I say as tears roll down my cheeks.

"He wouldn't have run away Tord,"

"How do you know that?"

"Because he knows there's no where for him to go except this base. He doesn't have anyone left to accept him. He's not stupid Tord. He knows he won't survive on his own,"

"Then that means..."

"Someone kidnapped him Tord,"

"But he was never happy here! Maybe he's just had enough and wanted to get away!"

Matt sighs and takes a seat on a chair.

"You really don't understand Tord..." Matt says and looks down.

"What am I not understanding?!" I ask and squeeze Tommy Bear in my hands.

"You just don't realize how close Tom has gotten to you Tord.."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten how much Tom hated you before?"

"I don't think so..."

"He used to destroy your belongings, he used to prank you like there was no tomorrow, he used to call you all the names in the book, he used to make fun of you for all the things you liked, he used to make all the things that made you happy into something you'd cry over, and worst of all is he gave you physical and emotional scars that will never disappear or fade away.. Remember yet?"

He really did hate me before...

"Now he calms you down when you're upset, now he wipes the tears that run down your cheeks when you're sad, now he embraces you when he knows you need some sort of physical comfort, now he does things to make you happy even when he knows it won't make him happy, now he kisses you when you need to feel loved, and most importantly he says "I love you" to you in complete honestly," Matt says and I see little tears form in the corners of his eyes.

"Matt I-"

"You don't know how damn lucky you are to have Tom as your own Tord! Stop pretending it's nothing and save Tom!" Matt cuts me off.

Click

"You're right Matt. I've been taking Tom's new self for granted. I need to help him-"

My walkie talkie starts exploding with soldiers talking.

"What the hell?!" I say and grab my walkie talking.

"Red Leader! 3 planes exploded and 4 other planes engines stopped working!"

"Red Leader! 20 jeeps have been stolen!"

"Red Leader! All the ammo supplies are gone!"

"Red Leader! Almost all of our food supply has disappeared!"

"Red Leader! Thousands of spare army suits have been ripped and burned!"

"Red Leader! 300 soldiers are missing!"

"Red Leader! 20 robots have gone out of control!"

"Red Leader!-"

"Everyone shut up! I'll try to fix these problems! Just stop blowing up my damn walkie talkie!" I yell into the phone.

"Sorry Red Leader," almost everyone on the line says.

"Now I'd everyone to fill out a report for me to look at later. Now everyone get back to work," I say.

"Yes Red Leader," almost everyone on the line says with slightly uncertainty in their voices.

I put my walkie talkie down.

"Jesus! What was all that about?!" Matt asks me.

"I really have no clue..." I say.

"How the hell are you going to get time to save Tom no-"

A knock at the door interrupts Matt.

"Permission to enter?" a voice asks.

"Granted," I say.

The door opens and my jaw drops when I see all the papers 1 soldier is carrying.

The soldier is carrying what looks like thousands of papers that go above his head.

"What the hell is all that?!" I ask.

"The reports you requested Red Leader," the soldier holding the papers says and puts the papers on my desk.

"Bloody hell..." Matt says quietly.

"Bloody hell is right.." I say.

I pick up a paper "80 soldiers were killed all together when 1 of 3 planes exploded," I pick up another paper. "90 soldiers were killed by 1 of 10 experiments that escaped their cells."

Matt picks up a paper "400 soldiers burned alive and 100 soldiers given 3rd degree burns while trying to put out fires in clothing station," Matt picks up another paper. "40 soldiers killed by robots in the machinery area."

"Your whole army is being killed! You have to do something!" Matt says.

"But what about Tom?!" I ask and stand up.

"Well what do you care about more?! Your army or Tom?!"

I hesitate..

My army.. Or Tom...
