Tord's Red Army

Dreams and Nightmares

Violet was so confused, she was back at her old school. Tord hugged her before walking away with Tom, he was laughing, was he laughing at her? She shrugged her shoulders and walked cautiously to her locker, she didn't want to bump into Andrew and his cronies again. She walked with her head held low until she finally reached her locker, she opened it and then he appeared.

"What's up, Freak!" He shouted in her face.

"Just, please, go away Andrew. I am not doing anything."

"Yeah, you would like that, wouldn't ya Freak-show?"

"Andrew please ... I just want to be left alone."

Andrew's gang were there behind him, Violet was stuck, she wasn't a fighter. Andrew smirked at her, raising his fist high above his head, Violet squeezed her eyes closed when he laughed. Then everything went black.

When she opened her eyes again she was in the Janitor's closet, she always went there if she was upset, nobody cared anyways so it was better to be alone. She was still crying when the door opened. A boy with red hair had opened the door, he looked sad too, he looked up and saw her. "What are you doing here? This is my place!" He yelled. 

Violet cowered before the boy, crying worse than before. "I am sorry... please... please don't hit me."

The boy looked at her in surprise then he finally saw what was wrong. She was covered in bruises, her lips and nose were all bloody as well. She was a strange looking demon, he could probably sense the demon from her but she couldn't have looked like one. She got up on her feet and saw the boys wings. Angel! was all she thought before trying to escape from the closet. The boy stopped her from getting anywhere, she was trapped or so she thought.

A quiet sigh escaped his lips "I'm sorry, I'm not going to hurt you. Are you okay?"

Violet nodded quickly before she started shaking her head and crying. "I hate it, I hate Andrew... I hate him."

She fell back down to the floor sobbing, she did hate Andrew but she didn't want to hate anyone. She never done anything to him so why was he so mean? The boy stared at her before sitting himself beside her, pulling her in for a hug. "I hate him too." was all he said. Everything went black again.

Tord and Tom were in front of her now, she was her normal age again. She was in their room and it was a mess unlike it's usual Tord kept cleanliness, Violet thought that was strange. Tord was crying and unlike Tom who occasionally cried, Tord never cried and It made Violet feel weird. He was talking to Tom, she could barely make out their conversation.

"Four days Tom, she's been missing for four days."

"I know Tord. Believe me, I know."

"Why haven't we got her back yet?"

"You know why, Tord."

"Tord I'm here." Violet piped up from where she stood.

The boys looked at her in surprise, Tord looked unsure as he walked up to her, "Violet?"

"Yeah, it's me Tord."

"What happened to your wing?"

"Oh, it broke." She raised her hands in a I don't know gesture, she didn't want to worry them.

"How'd you get here Violet?" Tom asked

"Umm... I'm actually not too sure, to be honest, I just arrived here."

Tom looked at Tord and shrugged his shoulder before facing Violet again.

"You don't believe me, do you?"

Neither of them answered.

"Well... well, fine then! If you want to know where I have been then I'll tell you! I have been with my brother Clyde, my real brother, y'know the one I have been missing for 9 years! He isn't the same person anymore, he sent Angels out to get me! Angels! Those Angels of his broke my wing so I was essentially trapped there and then locked me in some sort of creepy apartment building, that looked like it was designed for me! I seen my brother the next day, I told him I wanted to go home and he wouldn't let me! Then he tells me the day after that, that I am actually half Angel and I have been stuck with a red-haired Angel who was then assigned to teach me my powers! Oh, you missed that too. I can use Angel powers now.

It's funny, isn't it? I am literally the thing I hate the most, at least half of me is anyway. I hated Angels for ruining my family and now I discover that I'm one of them." She let out a small choked laugh then carried on, "I have been with ^The Fallen^ as they like to call themselves for four days now and I can now use Angel powers, I just realised now that I'm not really here so I may as well tell you that I am meant to learn my demon powers in two days. I will understand if you stopped looking for me, maybe I belong here, but if you do I want to thank you for everything. Tell everyone else that I thank them too, I need to go now. Goodbye Tom. Goodbye, brother. Maybe I will see again someday."

"Violet, wait!" both boys cried in unison before it all went black again.

Tord and Tom awoke from their slumber and looked at each other "Nightmare." they said in sync, they knew then it wasn't a nightmare. "Was yours about Violet?" Tom asked

"Yeah. She must have actually learned to use some of her powers, I am so proud of her."

"Tord, focus! Violet sent us a message, she seemed sad and now that she has talked to us we have to help her!"

"You're right Tommy bear." Tord walked over his closet and started changing. "Gather the others, we leave now."
