Edd paced around Tom's room with Ringo on his trail. Tom sat on his bed, holding the black feather Edd had handed him.
"It all adds up, Edd."
"N- no' no! I- I know Tord! A- and he wouldn't just.. Just KILL someone!" Pain flooded Edds voice as he tried to hold back sobs.
"He acted weird when I asked about the feather, and now you found one under his bed! Edd, it has to be him!" Tom stays silent as he inspects the feather. Tom sighs and looks away. "Edd?"
Edd stops pacing and looks over to his new friend. "What."
"Why do e you care so much about Tord?"
~FLASH BACK~
A 7 year old Norwegian in an oversized red hoodie lay in a fetal position on the concrete. A group of teenagers kicked, punched, and cursed at the kid, throwing insults that send harpoons through the kids heart. Their words started to spin in his head and he bled and bruised. One of the teens stopped and a small pebble hit the back of his head. He swung around to see a short kid, near the same age as the one they were bullying.
"H- hey, leave him alone!"
The kid shouted, attempting to sound tough. The kid in green puffed out his chest and picked up another pebble. The supposed leader of the teenage gang grinned and snapped his fingers. The rest of the teen stopped torturing the norski and started walking to the brunette. As the gang approached him, he froze in fear, he had not planned this out. He only wanted to help the other kid, but maybe that is what he deserved. Edd didn't fight back, only stealing small glances at the passed out and bleeding norski.
After what felt to be hours, the gang had left. Edd lay on his back, staring up at the sky. His entire body was pained , each movement forced his muscles to tense. Edd watched as a figure approached him.
"Er du ok, venn?" Tord looked down at Edd with large, pain filled brown eyes.  She shook slightly, with small tears forming in his eyes. "Er du såret?"
Edd blinked in confusion as he watched the kid hover over him. "I- I don't know what you're saying..."
Tord looked sad that he wasn't understood, but he it'd best to help anyways. He held out his hand to Edd,who happily accepted. Edd was pulled off the ground, now face to face with a bloodied and beaten kid.
"Umm.. M- my name is Edd!" Edd held out his hand for Tord to shake it. He smiled crookedly, as he was missing on of his teeth. Tord shook Edds hand.
"Mitt navn er Tord!"
"Your name is Tord?" Tord nodded to his new friend.
