We're Monsters[[DISCONTINUED]]

Back Again

Tord, Matt, Edd and Tom walk in through the forest, Edd making sure they stick on the trail. "This really is beautiful, I can see why Dad and Pa chose this place."
"Yeah, whatever Tord. It's a forest, of course it's going to be beautiful." Tom shrugs. Edd slightly laughing. "Oh whatever, look there should be the little area that Dad and Pop took us out to practice our skills-" Matt gets interrupted as Tord's phone rings. "Tord, ya gonna take that?" Tom stops walking.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll take it, you guys keep going." Tord mutter, grabbing his phone answering it, Tom, Tord and Matt keep walking. "Hello?"
"Who could that be? Mike? Alex? Dad? Pop?" Edd puts his hands in his pockets as they walk the train. "Tord looked a little surprised when he saw the number, I didn't get a glance. So I have no idea who it is. I hope it's nothing bad."
"A bit off topic, what do you think about Tord and the arm? The, uh, robot one?" Matt sighs, putting his hands in his hoodie pockets. "He's adapted to it pretty well, even if it's only been around a week and a half? Is that what you mean?" Edd slight cocks his head to the side.
"I don't like iWell, it's my fault he lost it anyways." Tom mutters, barely being able to be heard. "Um, what did you say Tom?" Edd turns around.
"Pfff, I said nothing." Tom slightly laughs. "Hey, what could be taking Tord so long?" Matt cocks his head to the side. "I don't know, don't ask me." Tom mutters under his breath. "I can't be the only one worrying about it. Alex is a wizard, and something's up with Mike. I can't put my finger on it." Edd slightly shrugs.
"It's probably nothing." Tom mutters, putting his hands in his hoodie. "I don't think that's true, but whatever."
"Well, maybe we should stop and wait for him." Matt stops on the trail, Tord being a good distance away. "What no! Come on, that can't, wait really? No-"
"What do you think that could be about?" Edd talks over Tord. "Shush Edd, I'm trying to make out what he's saying." Tom grumbles. "Are you sure? Alright fine, meet you there at 10." Tord hangs up, putting it pack into his pocket. "That was Alex, he wanted to meet up with us, up at the park in front of the school."
"I didn't even want to go that way, so it doesn't matter." Tom mutters. "You have to speak up, you keep muttering everything." Edd turns to look at Tom. "Whatever, its not important."
"Oh, well lets go get ready." Matt skips off to the house, hours of working on his hair. "We can get some answers out of him, he said he's willing to talk if we are." Tord walks back the the house, followed by Edd and Tom, going back into the house.
"I'm going to get ready!" Matt went full speed, running up the stairs running into his room. "I'm going to get a few things together. You guys do what you have to do." Tord goes up the stairs, leaving Edd and Tom downstairs
"Tom, could, you talk to me? I know you don't really like talking but can we please just talk." Edd half smiles shutting the door, Tom nodding. "What did you say there before? About Tord's arm?"
"I feel guilty for it. I wasn't driving, it isn't my fault but I feel like it is." Tom shrugs. "Tom, I don't understand why you're being so open, but, it's better-"
"I'm being more open because I'm sick of feeling this way. I just want it to go away! I should of listened to Tord, I should of done so much more, but I haven't done anything to fix how I feel!" Tom throws his hands onto his face, not crying, more out of anger. "Tom, it's okay. It's okay." Edd walks over and rubs his back.

Edd's POV.

I don't know what to do with Tom, I just hug him, hoping it will make it better. I've just been so oblivious to this whole thing which makes it worse.
"It's 9:02, we should get going." Tom nervously rubs his arm, pushing me off, taking a deep breath. "You're right, you go get Matt-"
"Sounds great." Tom runs up the stairs, as I slowly walk up them, knocking on Tord's door. "Hey, I think it's time to go. You ready?" I knock on the door again.
"Yeah, yeah, give me a sec." He rummages around to get something, then opening the door. "You ready?" I slightly cock my head to the side. "Edd, don't do that, you look like a cat." Tord slightly laughs, I do as well. "Yeah, let's go."

~Time skip~

We walk to the park to meet Alex, Tord didn't tell us why he wanted to meet us, I hope it's not about what happened when he was over before. He's a cool guy, really! Just a lot of things are happening at the moment and it's a bit hard to take in, or at least for me that is.
"Hey guys! I'm glad you could meet me here. My mom's on a small business trip and my older brother wouldn't let anyone come over." He smiles, blowing a bit of hair out of his face. "Why'd you want us to come talk with you? You haven't talked to us in weeks other than at school." Tord slightly cocks his head.
"Oh, I see you got a prosthetic? That's great Tord!" Alex smiles, I can tell he's way too enthusiastic. "Just tell us why you wanted to meet us? Like all of us." I sit down on the bench with Tom.
"The last time we were together what I saw. You're a wizard, he's a demon thing, he's a vampire, and I haven't quite found out who you are." He points to me, Tord, Matt and than Tom. "H-How?! I'm the only that said anything."
"You should know very well each monster has a different feel to them. A certain feel only wizards, sorcerers, all that can feel." Alex sighs. "Yeah why haven't you said anything before?"
"Edd I wanted to be sure. Plus, it makes me feel less, alone. No one in my family is anything other than my great ancestors. Or whatever." He slightly groans in annoyance. "One thing I want to know is, you told me you're all adopted and not blood brothers. How'd you all get adopted together?"
We all shrug, we were never told that story. "Okay okay so-"
Alex was cut of by a scream, Tom perking up immediately. "Tom, what was that?" Tord noticed the sudden movement, I'm surprised as well. "I don't know. I-I've heard that scream before." Tom looks around. Nothing. "Let's just get back on topic. Alex what was it?" I fake a smile.
"I just wanted to know if you could help me train. All the training I get is from books, and that doesn't really help. You seem so great at it." Alex smiles, Tom still looks a bit freaked out, Matt, of course looking in his camera, and Tord seems a bit annoyed.
"I guess? I'm not an expert, so don't expect that." I slightly laugh as he stands up walking around the table hugging me. "Thank you! Thank you!" He keeps repeating it over and over. "Velkommen." Tord smirks. "Thank you Edd." Alex stops hugging me, as I awkwardly reply, "Yeah, no problem."
