"Hello?"

Edd turned a bit to face the statue, well, where the statue should've been. I turned and instead of a stone statue was a boy. He looked confused and lost. He was wearing weird clothes that I'd only ever seen in the history books at school. But his eyes...eyes? Black holes where his eyes should be. He faced the three of us and seemed to scan us. He seemed more focused on me though.

"Who are you?" he asked as he jumped down from the pedestal the statue stood on.

"I-I'm Edd, this is M-Matt and Tord. Are you the statue boy?"

"Is that what they call me? I guess it may as well be true, I have been a statue for..." he looked down at his hands and counted a bit on his fingers, "499 years and 347 days. So which one of you did it? Or is this some sort of sick prank she pulled on me because soulmates can't possibly be real?" Edd turned towards me with a smile. I looked towards Matt to see him in complete shock.

"Edd no"

"TORD!!! YOU'RE HIS SOULMATE!" Matt screamed. "This can't be real. It's just a statue. You just didn't get enough beauty sleep, yes that's it. There is no way that legend could be true. It's just a silly myth." He started pacing and looked panicked.

"Okay, Matt, calm down" Edd went over to him and started walking off somewhere while trying to calm him down.

"What's their deal?" The big said, suprising me. I turned back to him and really looked at him. He had tan skin and some dark blue markings on his neck that almost blended in with the navy blue cloak he was wearing. "Earth to, Tord was it?"

"Y-yea. It's Tord."

"Your voice sounds different from those other guys, where you from?"

"Norway"

"Strange" he walked around me and looked me in the face again "So, what's been going on since my statue thing?"

"I don't know. You said 499 years?" I pulled out my cellphone and went to Google.

"What's that?" he tipped the cell with his finger to see the screen.

"You ask a lot of questions" I pointed out.

"Well I've practically been dead for almost 500 years. Speaking of 500 years..." He words trailed off as he started walking back to the pedestal type thing.

"What're you doing?" I asked, putting my cell back in my pocket. He didn't answer me. "You okay?" Still no answer. He seemed to be looking for something, but what? He stopped when he saw the words and looked at them for a bit. I didn't bother actually reading what was on it, since Edd explained it himself, but he looked rather intrigued.

"That bitch" he mumbled to himself. "Tord! How would you like to actually pretend soulmates exist when death comes to pay me a visit in a few days?" He smiled.

"What?" he groaned and turned back towards the pedestal.

"Someone's coming to check on me in a few days and I need you to help me pretend I believe in this myth and convince that dirty little shit that I don't owe her anything." he explained like it was nothing.

"I don't even know your name"

"Thomas Clarence Spearce, witch in training at your service"

"Witch? Those aren't real and if they were they would be useless. We only need guns and knives. Nobody would have any use of magic with today's technology." He looked to me and raised and eyebrow.

"Witches aren't real? Then how the hell was I turned to stone for five centuries?" He crossed his arms and stared me down. I didn't have anything to say. This was the boy that was trapped in stone, that I had no idea existed until today. "I thought so. Anyways, can we get me out of these clothes? It doesn't look like I would be able to pass as a normal person if I were wearing this."

"Umm sure. Lemme text Edd then we could leave." I pulled out my cell and quickly sent Edd the text telling him Thomas and I would be going back to my house. "Okay let's go" we started walking out of the park. I probably shouldn't be acting this calm but what could I do? I can't just start freaking out like Matt, me freaking out would probably make Thomas freak out and I don't think we need that.

Well that was shit. Hopefully I'll learn to update more but for now we'll just see how long it takes me to make the next chapter.
