Tom, Edd, and Matt were looking outside of their front door to see a massive storm happening. It was flooding through the streets, and snowing at the same time. "Well shit."
"Why did this have to happen at the worst possible time!?" Tom screamed. "Fuck you God!" He threw his middle finger up towards the air as a bolt of lightening landed next to him. He closed the door. Tom looked back at Edd and Matt, Matt having gained enough energy to transform back into a human. "Well what do we do now?"
Edd put this finger to his chin in thought, "Maybe you can transform into your large monster mode and wade through the water! Flying is a bad idea during a thunderstorm. Matt and I would get electrified." Edd replied.
Tom looked away, "I'm afraid if I transformed, I would total the house. I'm not comfortable in that form Edd. I have no control over it. You saw what happened last time I transformed fully. I almost killed everyone near us just trying to get of Tord. I think Silent is the only one who can handle my monster form."
Edd looked at Tom for a moment. "Well I tried. I guess we're stuck here then. In the mean time, why don't you tell us how you met Silent. I mean you knew her for four years. How did you meet?" Edd asked, sitting on the couch beside Matt.
Tom walked over to one of the armchairs and plopped right down, holding his head in one hand while playing with his flask in the other. He groaned, trying to recall where they met and how. "Ahhh, I don't exactly recall when it was, all I know was it was around four years back. We met at the pet store when Ringo was really sick, and Edd had to stay by his side. Edd sent me out to pick up pet supplies, and I happened to bump into her."
"What was she like back then? Did she look the same?" Matt asked, suddenly interested in what Silent looked like back then.
Tom smiled softly, remembering how she looked. "She had longer hair that went down to her waist. She wasn't as cheerful when I first met her; she was actually very shy and quick to startle. She constantly had earphones in, and she just basically played with the pets there. I don't think she was buying anything." He began to remember the moments of early Silent.
"I wish I could of seen her!" Matt whined.
Tom pulled out his phone for a minute, scrolling through old photos. He smiled, "I do have some pictures of her on my phone from four years ago. Wanna see?"
Edd and Matt smiled, nodding excitedly.
Tom laughed, "Here. There's some old videos as well, once I got to know her. We basically met up at each day at the coffee shop to talk about random things. I think Silent actually told me of her cat powers, but I basically forgot about it. They never appeared for four years. I think it was just a warning." He watched as Edd and Matt crowded around Tom's phone to look at old pictures of Silent.
"She's really pretty! I wonder why she cut her hair." Matt mumbled, swiping through old pictures. He saw a few pictures of Tom and Silent posing like idiots in front of things. There was a video that Matt pressed play on. "You guys found a child?" Matt asked, raising the phone up to Tom to point at the crying kid who was hugging Silent.
Tom blinked, "Oh yeah. Some irresponsible parents lost their child during a hike, and we found them. I was all for leaving the brat, but Silent wanted to return him to his parents because it was the right thing to do." He remembered that Silent was glaring at him for suggesting to leave the child alone in the forest.
"I bet Silent was angry at you for that." Edd laughed.
"Yeah, she was. She wouldn't talk to me at all while we were looking for the kid's parents. Silent is a natural with kids. It was like she had to deal with kids everyday, and she knew how to fix their troubles instantly. Whereas I just made him cry even worse." Tom grumbled. "There was an incident where the kid finally found his mom and dad, and the parents thought we kidnapped their child-"
"Oh no! Did something happen?" Matt interrupted for a minute.
"They didn't take it to well, and they... well, the man attacked Silent." Tom finished.
Edd looked worried, "Attacked? You mean he hit her? Why?!"
"He thought Silent had stolen his child. Any parent would of done that I guess." Tom replied. "Silent was fending off the man on her own before he picked up his pocket knife and sliced her face. It went across her eye." He ran his finger from his eyebrow down to his jawline to show the others what it looked like.
Matt gasped and so did Edd.
"I stepped in instantly after seeing her fall to the ground, holding her bleeding face and knocked the man out. The mother and child looked scared. The mother apologized after her son told her that we weren't bad, and then called 999 for Silent. It was scary." Tom looked at his flask. "As the ambulance came, Silent was nowhere to be seen actually. She left."
"She left? With a huge gash on her face?" Edd questioned.
"She didn't get too far. I found her huddled up near a bench passed out from blood loss. I called 999 and stayed with her until she woke back up." Tom replied.
"Wait a minute, is that the night you called me to tell me that you weren't coming back because of a family issue?" Edd asked.
"Yep, I didn't know what to label myself as to her since we were still just getting to know one another. I called her my sister so they would let me stay in the room until she awoke. That wound was pretty bad. I'm surprised it isn't on her face; her healing must of erased it because she had it for a couple of weeks before it completely vanished." Tom looked back up at the ceiling. "She's amazing."
