°The Cliff°

Edd was pacing back and forth in the living room in major panic. Tord left 8 hours ago, which was right after breakfast. And he didn't show up before lunch, like Edd told him to. He was worried sick for the short, horned hair, depressed, skinny, weir- okay that's besides the point. The point is, Tord's gone and nobody knows where he is.

"Well, have you tried actually LOOKING for the Commie?" Tom asked sharply. He was getting annoyed that Edd is being so caring and giving Tord a second chance after blowing up the house, killing an innocent man, trying to kill them, etc. "Well, no.. B-But he hasn't responded to any of my calls or texts!" Edd responded. If he panics even more, he could possibly have a heart attack. Which is why Tom suggested to go look for him. Edd and Matt agreed without hesitation.

After about 2 hours of searching for Tord, they got no luck and returned home Commie-less, Todd-less, and bacon-buddy-less, as the three basically titled him as based on him.

"What if we never see him again!? W-What if he got kidnapped? What if he went to the bar and overdosed? What if he's already dead? What if-" Edd cut his rambling off with a gasp. "What. If. He's. At. Disneyland!?" Tom groaned in annoyance. "Edd, it's only been a few hours just give him some time alone and he'll come back in no time."

""He'Ll CoMe BaCk In No TiMe" blah blah blah. IT'S BEEN A WHOLE DAY!" Edd mocked before screaming at Tom. Tom tried to ignore it, but he was also very curious as to why Tord isn't back yet. The front door was heard very easily since they were all gathered in the living room. All three of them turned their heads to the door that revealed Tord, half face scared, horn hair, robot arm, yep, it's him.

Edd practically teleported, or just straight up Sonic speed to Tord and embraced him in a giant hug. "Where did you go!?" Edd yelled in panic and relief. He let go and lightly punched Tord. "I thought you were dead." He growled. Tord chuckled nervously but didn't give a response back.

Tom made his way to the two crossing his arms and glared at Tord. "This is the seventh time you've been gone this week! Where are you even going?" Tord started sweating and fidgiting with his fingers, looking left then right, then up and down, then everywhere around the room trying to think of an excuse. "Uhmm, well I-I, uhh.." Soon enough Matt walked over and stared at the speaker who he thinks is Tord since he's stuttering some random nonsense. Tord looked at Matt and got an idea. "Matt! Can you please tell us what your hair and skin routine is?" That got Matt talking.

Tord tip-toed away as Matt rambled on and on and Edd and Tom getting annoyed and ready to go back in time and place him on the titanic.

A few hours later, as in 4:00 in the morning, Tom was still in the kitchen drinking in pure darkness after pulling Matt's hair to get him to shut up. Keys were heard being taken off of the table which made Tom look up from drinking out of the bottle of smirnoff. All he saw was a shadow figure with horns. He knew Tord was leaving to the same place he always goes to, which is why Tom followed Tord.

First they went out the door, then Tom going bush to bush to spy on the Norsk half-drunk, after that following Tord in the forest. Tom accidentally stepped on a twig causing Tord to look back. Tord took one step forward with caution, but then turned around and head back to where he was going. Tom let out his breath that he was holding to keep quiet.

Tord continued walking to his destination. 'Nah, I've watched way too many scary movies to know what happens next. Who knows, maybe if I did go I would see a male with troll hair and dark scary voids for eyes. A child of a pineapple and bowling ball with blue as his favorite color. Heck, make him a brit while your at it.

Oh wait why was that so specific and similar?

Ack whatever.'

Once Tord had finally got to his desired location, he sat down at the edge and swung his feet back and forth ad he stared at the stars above. Tom watched from a distance behind a tree, confused as to why Tord is on a cliff. He slowly made his way to Tord and sat by Tord, which to his suprise Tord didn't even take a glance at Tom but continued to stare up at the sky. "What are you doing here?" Tord questioned without looking at him.

"I think the real question is why are you here?" Tom asked back, still looking at Tord's face as the light of the full moon's light reflected on his eyes and saw the light shine on his face as he continued to stare up in the sky.

"Just need to clear my mind." Tord answered. The two sat in silence after that, continuing to stare at the view. That is, until someone decided to break it.

"I'm sorry..." Tom looked at Tord with an unnamused face. "No. No, you're not." Tom said before looking back at the stars. "What? I am sorry..!" Tord cried out, beginning to feel desperate for Tom to understand him. "Tord, you blew up our house with a GIANT. ROBOT. And, killed an innocent man, and porbably thousands more. You lead an army, Tord. Even if you are truely sorry, I will never forgive you for what you've done."

Tord began to tear up. "Do you even know why I did what I did!? I didn't have a choice to become leader or not!! The only reason why I took the robot and exploded the house is becaus-" "BECAUSE WHAT!?!? TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD FOR YOUR OWN SELFISH DEEDS!? COMMIE YOU CAN'T GUILT TRIP ME!!!" And with that, Tom stood up and stomped away back to the house, leaving Tord all alone.

After that day, Tom told Edd and Matt Tord's "secret place". So, now they all go up on the cliff almost every day. Three were happy. While one smiled and laughed beside them. Those words stayed with Tord everywhere he went.

Now it is currently night time. The red is sitting on the edge of the cliff. Eye bags were clear under his eyes. Tord looked down under his feet to see the deep fall if he fell. Tord looked back up at the stars in the night sky but got startled to see a woman with the same light carmel hair as him. Long hair with grey eyes and wearing a long white dress with big angel wings and a halo above her head. Tord scooted back in fear but when the woman's hand reached out to him, he felt... Warm. He crawled towards the woman slowly with caution and stared at her.

"My son, come with me. And you shall recieve peace everywhere you go. Leave this cruel world behind and come into the light."

The woman was shining and glowing with light. Tord felt as if he can trust her. Tord stood up and slowly made his way towards the woman. He reached out his hand and held the woman's hand. Right at that moment, as soon as Tord and the woman's  hand came in contact, Tord felt light. As if he can fly. And he loved it. He felt at peace. No stress. Nothing. Just peace.. Tord began to walk towards the woman more and soon he was on the very tip of the cliff. He was about to take another step, until,

"TORD!!! NO DON'T JUMP!!!" Cried out the blue brit. Tord looked behind him to see Tom running towards him from a far away distance. "Tom...?" Tord looked back at the woman who still had her calming smile. "It's not too late, my son." Tord smiled and was about to take another step. He can finally be at peace. Suddenly two arms wrapped around him and pulled him down to the ground. He was now in the sobbing brits arms who was apologizing over and over again. Tord sat them both up and began to rub the males back. Tord pulled away to look back at the woman, but no one was there.

"W-Wh-What we-were y-you THINKING!?" Tom struggled to say inbetween his sobs making him hug Tord tighter. "The lady... She..." Tord said under his breath, but it was next to Tom's ear so he can hear. "Wh-What lady? There was no one here T-Tord..." Tord decided to ignore it for now and just comfort the man in front of him.

Sorry for being gone for so long!! I apologize :((
