(Lindy's POV)

"Well goodbye Lindy...." his voice was laid over with a thick Norwegian accent. He speed walked away his head still buried in his red hoodie.

"Tord....." I had forgotten tom was still standing next to me. This is the point where he noticed the gigantic hole in the earth and sighed," was this tords doing...?"

"Yeah..." I sighed" where are we gonna stay now..." I looked down at ganme who had turned back into a cat.

"You can stay with us if you want, we have extra rooms in the house we just bought. Plus it was tords fault your house blew up so let us pay you back by letting you stay with us, until you find a new house at least."

"Yeah I usually don't trust strangers but that sounds like a good idea. Imma take you up on that offer... just let me see if I can salvage anything...."

Tom took out a piece of paper and quickly scribbled something down on it" here, this is our address and my phone number. Just text me before you come." Then without another word he walked down the street and dissappered.

I sat down and ganme padded up next to me and meowd.

"I know girl, I don't like this but if I didn't except we wouldn't have anywhere to stay and I prefer strangers over alleyways." I stroked her beautiful purple and black fur and scratched her ears.

I made my way to the hole and vaugly surveyed the area looking for anything that might have survived. I made my way through the ruble and debri looking for anything. After searching for what seemed like hours a small twinkle caught my eye. Something was buried in the earth. I dug it out my hands, a shiny pocket watch lay closed in my hand, it was covered with dirt. I wiped it off and drew my hand over it, feeling the patterns move between my fingers. I clicked the button on the top and the watch flipped open. Inside was a blank space for a picture like a locket but on the other side a pretty clock lay still ticking. I run my fingers over the smooth surface before tying the chain to my pant pocket and shoved it in.

I caught up with ganme and asked her If she found anything" I found your tiny purse with money in it" she tossed to purse to me and I caught it swinging it around my shoulder.

"Well we should go find this address, I'll text the number."

(Tords POV)

I sat on my bed in my dark room, the lights were turned off and I had my knife out flicking it out and putting it back in, over and over I did this thinking about Lindy, I had felt so bad about what I'd did. This time I hadn't even meant to do something bad... but I screwed everything up.

I heared tom and edds voice downstairs talking back and forth. It all sounded like gibberish so I turned them out still flicking out my knife"---------Lindy--------" I stopped, did they say lindy? I crept over to my door and opened it. The light flooded on my room and my eyes had to adjust. I leaned over the banister.....

"Why would you do that!!!" Edd didn't sound angry but he did sound annoyed" why!!"

"Because she had no where to go!!! Would you rather her go live on the street or something!! I was only trying to help!"

"Why didn't she just go to her parents!!" Edd wasn't screaming but he sounded close enough to explode.

"You don't think I asked that!" Tom threw his hands in the air in dispair,"her parents died..." his voice had turned into a whisper" and her neko cat doesn't even know who her parents are"

What!! What did that mean? Poor Lindy...

"That still doesn't explain why you said she could stay here!!"

Wait..... what did tom do!! I hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen" what are you guys talking about?!"

"Oh... hi...tord" edds eyes darted around the room to anywhere expept me" well uhh... you tell him tom" then he ran down the hall and to his room.

"Well remember that girl and her neko cat whose house you blew up..." I hung my head in shame when he mentioned the house.

"Well yeah...."

"They have no where else to go so I told them they could stay here since our house had extra bedrooms" he looked away as he told me this expecting me to yell or be upset but I just stood their, I didn't know how to feel about this.

"I'm going back up to my room" I calmly walked back upstairs as I heard a beep come from Toms phone.

"They're coming over now.." toms voice was low but i could still make out the words. I opened the door to my dark room and flipped on the light. My room was black. It was always black no matter how bright the lightbulb it was always too dark. My walls were empty, my closets only carried my hoodies and t-shirts. All dark colors, a shelf stood next to my bed filled with my knife collection and my favorite pistols. A tired looking bookshelf lay in the corner with books filled with fantasy and adventures, I would often read my books wishing they would bring me into their world so I could just disappear.

I sat on my bed and pulled out infinity, my ridged knife with a big blade and a sharp edge. He was my favorite knife by far. Whenever I felt sad scared or lonely I would just hold him or practice flicking him open.

I heard the doorbell ring aftrr half hour of just holding infinity. I heard Edd say"I'll get it!" But I knew who it was. After more muffled voices downstairs I heard footsteps coming up into my room at the top of the house. The door opened.

"Tord, wow it's dark in here," tom flicked the lights on but it still remained dark, he shrugged" come on Edd has dinner ready."

I just continued sitting and looking out my window behind the head of my bed," I'm not coming"

I heard movement across my floor and the sound of someone sitting on my bed" tord, come on what's the matter?" True concern lied in his voice but it didn't phase me" you have to come eat tord..." "well when you feel like not being so selfish come join us for dinner" no sympathy was in his voice now, and with that he was gone.

I heard him go down the stairs and join the rest, I heard his chair pull out and three others. Matt was away on vacation.... I though what's the use of just sitting up here so I put infinity in my pocket and opened my door, flicking the lights out behind me.
