Night Terrors -(TordTom)

The Point of No Return

I finally got to the apartment building with Tom in bridal style my arms.

Is it just me or did he get heavier over the next half a mile?

I knocked the door with my foot and waited. I looked down at Tom who was still unconscious in my arms.

Matt opened the door. He gave me a scared look as he slowly glanced down to the person in my arms.

He screamed. "EDD! TODD KILLED TIM! COME QUICK!"

I heard pounding footsteps in the house as they got louder. He finally got down to the bottom of the stairs and rage filled his expression.

"YOU!" He ran over to me and grabbed me by the shoulders, making me drop Tom. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!" He tackled me to the ground and started throwing punches. I tried to block them to the best of my abilities. But he powered through my grasp.

I gave up. Now bloody and bruised, my nose probably broken. On the verge of blacking out. The last thing I heard was Tom croaking out, "Edd! Stop it. He was helping me!"

Tom

I came to, hearing Edd yelling. It felt like a pair of arms was holding me. I suddenly fell to the ground, knocking the air out of me. I coughed and opened my eyes. I saw Edd choking out Tord. I panicked and tried to sit up, but my midsection hurt like hell. I couldn't do anything, but yell out for Edd to stop.

He jumped and turned around with wide eyes. "Dafuq?! I thought he killed you!"

I sighed. "No, but I have something to tell you. Let me clean me and Tord up first and I'll tell you.

With the help of Matt, we carried Tord to my room and set him on the bed. His face was so swollen and bloody, I couldn't recognize his face. I carefully wiped his face and went to go get changed.

I went downstairs where Edd was waiting impatiently. "What the hell happened?! Why were you wearing his hoodie?! Where were you?! I swear to god if he raped you I'm gonna go up there and chop his dick off and let him bleed out!"

I gave him a tired look. "No, he didn't do anything to me. He actually helped me."

I told him the story, followed by my past. How Tord found me when we first met. Why I've been lying about going to the bar and being an alcoholic to cover up the truth.

After I had told him everything, he just sat there in shock.

"Show me."

"What do you mean?"

"Turn into the monster you admit to be."

"I can't just do that! I have no control over it. It just happens!"

"Then I'll just have to find out how to instigate it." He got up and looked at me. "You gotta learn to control it. I'm just gonna help you."

I nodded. Unsure of his plans. I went to bed early that night, grabbing a pillow and a blanket on my way to my room. To the best of my abilities, I tried to make myself comfortable on the floor.

How the hell can anybody sleep on the floor?!

I was just starting to doze off when I heard Tord whining in his sleep. He was tossing and turning, his breathing heavy.

I sighed. I was never gonna get any sleep if this kept going on all night. I got up and crawled into bed next to him and cuddled next him. He seemed to calm down at my touch, and sighed peacefully.
