"Thomas!" The wind immediately stopped, my body was dropped to the floor and I hit my head on my desk. I cried out in pain, my arm felt numb, was it the glass? Just as my heavey eye lids shut I saw that shadow again, it was heading towards me. I screamed as a heart stopping feeling fuled my chest, it felt like I was drowning. Images I'd never seen before filled and flashed though my head, the last thing I saw was some kind of symbol. My body fell limp and my eyes closed.

Edds P.O.V

I flipped the bacon on the pan, it did a 360° then landed back in the grey iron. I yawn and scratch my neck. Ringo rubs himself on my leg and purs, I smile a rub his widdle cute  head. School starts in thirty minutes or so, we'll need to head out soon.

"Morning Matt!" I beam.

"Good morning Edd. Hey, have you seen my-"

"Jacket? Yeah, I just washed it. It's in the dryer with your strawberry scented dryer sheets." I laughed.

"It's not funny! Looks are just as important as how you smell!" Matt grabbed a plate and sat down. I put all the red strips of goodness on a plate, I set it in the middle of the table. "This smells great! This could be your smell Edd!"

"Haha, no thanks. I prefer to smell like a freshly sharpened pencil. Or, Cola, cola would be pretty great!"

"Cola doesn't have a smell." He reminds me.

"Oh yeah? Well to me it smells like life itself!"

"Your weird." He stares.

"Thanks," I bow.

Matt begans so ramble on about clothing hacks and some new amazing thing he discovered. As I looked at him the stairs came into view, everything else faded away. Including his voice, nothing but the forbidden steps were in front of me. Was Tom okay? He hasn't came out of his room since yesterday.

"Don't you think Edd?"

"Hm?"

Shoot! Just act like you were listening!

"Y-Yeah, totally." I look at him them back at the stairs, "Have you seen Tom?"

"No, he was keeping me up all night though! He was super loud, you didn't hear him?" He questions.

"What can I say, I'm a heavy sleeper." I shrug. "So, what exactly did you hear?"

"It sounded pretty scary,  like, like a monster!" His eyes are filled with fear. I usually wouldn't believe him but knowing our crazy life and the 'Casper' incident yesterday I wouldn't doubt it.

Footsteps crawl up from behind me. "A monster? No, no. Thomas isn't that cool, besides I didn't hear anything and I'm right across from him. Mabey it's just your mind playing tricks on you?" Tord says snatching a piece of bacon. I stepped back, where did he come from?

"Do you know if he's awake? Nevermind, I'll just go see him-"

"-NO!"

"No?" I looked over Tord, is there somthing I don't know? Why did he. . . .? "Um, Tord, is something going on?"

"I mean, no because, because I actually checked on him earlier and he's really sick. Your such a nice guy and I really appreciate you letting me stay here with you guy's.  So I don't want you getting sick, besides I can't let him keep you from going to school. I know you've got that big art thing today, you can't miss it! I just started school, missing a day doesn't really ruin anything for me. Don't worry Edd, I'll take care of him. "
