Guess who's single?

(Y/N) awkwardly sat on the bed meant for them and Tord.

It'd been a month since their arrival and some soldiers weren't taking it too well.

They couldn't  go out the bedroom door without Pau, Pat, or Tord.

They couldn't contact anyone who was outside the base.

They couldn't even eat anything until they had made sure it wasn't poisoned!

They'd come to an conclusion.

This wasn't the freedom they wanted.

They were a prisoner.

And it didn't help that Tord only came in at night, just to go to sleep.

They were homesick.

They missed Zeke, Matt, Jala, Tom, and most of all Edd.

It was like they got separated all over again, and it felt terrible.

No matter how 'home-y' their room was it would never make for the home for which they shared with their brother or for the peace they once had.

Sure, they had missed Tord over the years, but was this worth it?

They'd left everything for this... man?

Was man even a way to describe what Tord was anymore?

Yes.

You know why?

No matter how evil, or horrible a person is, they're human.

And that's what is scary about it.

That a human being is capable of bringing such pain, sorrow, and destruction upon the world.

They shivered a bit, holding themself for comfort, for they were the only one around.

Tord wasn't Tord anymore.

He wasn't the man that made (Y/N) melt every time he smiled.

He wasn't the soft person that loved watching sunsets anymore.

He wasn't the guy who took time out of his day to walk down to (Y/N)'s house and  climb up the tree by their window to just ask how their day was.

He was now a cold, hardened leader.

(Y/N) wondered why he even wanted them as over all the tough soldiers in the army.

But then it hit them.

He only wanted control.

They did what ever Tord said, with little to no comments.

They could be manipulated by him  just with his sweet talk.

They shuttered when he yelled at his soldiers.

That they could be controlled.

Tears suddenly came running down their face, as they stood up clenching their fists.

How come they hadn't seen it before?

They were only just a pawn in Tord's little game.

......

But what were they to do something about it?

They choked back tears, as they walked over and pushed the (F/C) button.

"(Y/N)? What do you need?"

They could tell it was Pat. He usually always picked up.

"I-I-"

They couldn't keep their voice straight.

They had reached their breaking point after all those years, and it wasn't pretty.

"Are you okay? Is someone in there? I'll send guards right -"

" No! J-just... Could you please c-come here for a moment? "

There was a small pause, before Pat rung back through.

"Alright."

(Y/N) waited at the door until it opened.

Pat jumped in, looking around frantically like the mom he was.

When he finally saw (Y/N) he replied quickly, "What's wrong?"

(Y/N) sniffled a bit, whispering.

"I need to talk to Edd....Or I won't be able to deal with this much longer."

Pat sighed in relief that it wasn't anything too major, thinking for a moment.

"Well, none of the soldiers can make calls or send out texts to people other than Tor- I mean Red Leader.. "

(Y/N) frowned, holding themself tighter.

"Then I'll get out and go see him."

" Oh, no,no,no,no,no, honey! Do you what Tord would do to all of us?! "

(Y/N) growled a bit, looking up at Pat, "So you'd rather have someone go through pain just for your own personal needs? You'd rather have a person break right in front of you other than just letting them call their own sibling?"

Pat was speechless.

(Y/N) wasn't like this.

Were they losing themself as well?
