In Our Nightmares | TordTom

Chapter 11

Tord's POV

I had finally stopped crying over that memory. I let out a shaky breath before walking. I stopped for a second to think before turning towards a different direction and began walking forward. Eventually I came to a halt and raised my hand touching an invisible wall. The same one as last time

I really wonder why it's there. I sighed turning around and leaning my back onto it sliding to the ground. I sat there for a while before the whole place turned into a blinding white. I covered my eyes with my hands as I closed them from the sudden brightness. After a bit I opened my eyes again before falling

I let out a surprised yelp. I fell and fell. Before finally hitting the ground. It hurt once again. But as soon as I hit. A wave of color sprouted from under me going all around as if it where water and I fell on top creating ripples

I groaned and pushed myself off the ground. I stood up. With every contact I made with the ground a ripple of red sprouts from the place that I touched. It was definitely different from what I'd usually see here. Then Ringo appeared out of thin air literally making me jump

"Holly dr-!!" I cut myself off "Ringo! You scared the shit out of me!" I yelled

Ringo skidded over to me, as she stepped on the ground small ripples of grey sprout from under her paws, it looks really nice honestly. I sat down on my knees causing red to sprout, Ringo was near so the red mixed with the grey before disappearing

I pat her head when she sat in front of me "This sure is weird huh?" I ask

Ringo stood up and began running around. Jumping and rolling everywhere. I couldn't help but laugh. It's adorable. Ringo eventually stopped and looked off into the blankness

"What's wrong girl?" I ask, she looked at me before running "Hey Ringo! Where are you going!?" I yelled going after her, when she came to halt I did as well "Why are we here?" I ask

I lifted my hand in front of me to hit it against a wall "How did you know this was here?" I ask her. She meowed and scratched at it, I was so confused of what she was doing "I'm so confused..." I muttered

"Is there something here that I don't see?" I ask. She looked at me instantly "So I'm correct" I said before sighing "Fucking great.." I muttered. I sighed and hit my head on the wall "So goddamn useless.." I grumbled, I jumped back when I heard a knock on the wall on front of me, my eyes going wide "H-hello? Is there anyone there..?" I asked "If so,, knock twice, if you understand me.." I said

And I received two knocks

So, there's someone else here..

I sighed and looked down "I'm sorry you had to see that, if you did.." I muttered

Everything went back to black which felt better on my eyes. I looked around quietly, there wasn't much to see. Just darkness. Again. I stepped away from the wall and began walking around again. I didn't know who was behind the wall in here with me. It could be anyone honestly

I had also noticed Ringo disappeared. I gazed around the dark void and stopped walking. I jumped when a voice spoke

"Tord~" They cooed

The voice echoed throughout the void. I gazed around before the place changed to my old house. It showed my real father, he had a bottle of beer in his hand. He was obviously drunk

"Why don't you come out~?" He said

It went over to me, where I sat in my room inside my closet shaking with fear

My father started to get irritated with the lack of answers "Tord Lawson! I am your father and you do as I say!" He growled

I put my hand over my mouth to keep myself quiet as tears formed into my eyes. I could hear my dad's footsteps as he walked up the stairs. My younger self only got more scared. I knew what would happen if he found me

"Tord.." My father growled warningly as he walked closer to my room. I jumped when he knocked on my door. A second after you could hear the doorknob giggle "Tord" He growled

I pushed myself all the way in the corner of the closet as much as I could. Holding both of my hands over my mouth, tears falling from my eyes. I jumped again when I heard him bang on the door, I had locked it before I hid so he couldn't come in, well I hoped he wouldn't

A loud bang was heard and you could hear the door hit the wall. He had broke the door open. I squeezed my eyes shut tightly "You've been a bad boy..." My father growled "I think you deserve a punishment for not listening to me"

His footsteps were heard walking towards the closet door. I was shaking in fear and praying that he wouldn't find me. But like before, they weren't answered. The closet door was thrown open

"There you are" My father said grabbing my arm roughly and pulling me out if the closet

"I-I s-sorry P-Pappa" I stuttered terrified

But my apology meant nothing to him, he threw me to the ground before going over to me. He made a move to kick me, everything went black as I screamed

I looked down, I felt my hands begin to shake. I held my hands and fell to my knees trying to calm my shaking. I squeezed my eyes shut. I remember that time he beat me. How could I forget? He had eventually gotten bored with me and passed out downstairs. I had ran out of the house

I stayed out for most of the day. And when I had returned, my mother was home and she was in tears. My father was worried of where I went. He had no memory of what he did to me. And when my mom asked what happened to me, I told her I went out for a walk and some bullies beat me up
