  TW: (add after chapter is written you dumb ho!) Trashyratman,

Virgil POV

  Consciousness came to me in a quick and brutal flash of panic and and excessive coughing.

  I was in a dusty room that seemed to be as large as half a school cafeteria. There were no windows, and only one door that was placed at the far end of the room to my right.

   Replacing the windows were a fair amount of torches evenly spaced throughout the room. There were only eight in the room, so it wasn't as well lit as it should have been.

  Across from me, I noticed, was a lump the size of a person. I couldn't make out any of their features, but, I came to realize, it wasn't entirely that difficult to recognize the heavy and adorable snores of Roman in a deep state of sleep.

  But in the depth of all my simping for Roman, I had eventually remembered what had happened. Insomnia, Remus, Violet-dude. All had captured us with the beautiful melody of that fucking bird.

  I suddenly realized the intensity of the situation and my panic and anxiety soon found their way back into my frightened heart. The moment I swung myself at him to attempt to wake him up, I felt thick chains that bound my arms to a mechanism in the wall. I watched as Roman's sleeping form was jerked backwards, and he let out a strangled yelp that sounded all too similar to the sound of an injured puppy yelping in pain.

  Through the dim light of the torches, I could see Roman's hands were bound as well, but not just that. There were a wide variety of cuts and bruises on his face, all of which seemed pretty severe l, but we're healing. There was a noticeable gash in the smack-dab middle of his forehead that I could recognize to be the same size of Remus's mace. That ass.

  But at that moment the door at the end of the room opened creakily and quite slowly. Speak of the devil himself!

  Remus walked into the room very "sneakily" and closed the door quietly, as if he could think us to be sleeping.

  "Hello, you fuck shits," Remus whispered quite maliciously. I had no idea why, but he was whispering. As if talking normally might be bad. But he continued anyways.

  "I'm technically, probably, absolutely...." He paused. "Well, fuck it, I'm not supposed to be here period." He whispered extravagantly with his eyes doing this weird sparkle thing; the same things Roman's eyes do when he's happy.

  "What the fuck do you want," Roman spat. This earned a small frown from Remus. But it quickly melted into a devilish smile.

  "Remember that one time you made me watch Shrek 2? And I only wanted to watch it because of the small little evil man? While you were so gleefully touched by the form of prison Shrek and Fiona were bound in.

  "She pulled, he got further away and vise versa. Well, here's your moment to shine like Shrek to renew his love with Fiona. It is your turn to have what you want stopped away from your very grasp, by your own strength and determination."

  He was now speaking normally but gave Roman a murderous look as he spoke. But, as if nothing happened, Remus's face lifted into a Cheshire grin and he clapped very enthusiastically.

  "Tuh-tah, fuck stains!" He yelled happily while closing the door behind him, leaving Roman and I in thoughts of complete disgust and a lot of sadness that we couldn't sit in each other's arms. Remus really sucks.

  But then Roman got up into a crouching position and gave me a look of complete love and sorrow at the same time. Tears filled his eyes.

  "Do you know how long we've been here?" He asked me. I shook my head. "We've been here for nearly five and a half weeks."

  With those words fallowed a very large lightheadedness that set upon me.

  Then he continued.

  "It's not even the bad part. Today, is February 14th. Valentine's Day."

  I could feel how important this was to him. Not just from his voice, but from the continuous tears that ran down his face.

  "Our first Valentine's day, in a fucking dungeon. Away from one another." He slumped over to his side and all I could do was cry myself. Individually, this would be a very important landmark in our relationship. Depending on the way the rest of this turns out.

  Roman scuttled around for a bit and finally he threw something at me. I was surprised when I found a very beautiful red silk clothe that was embroidered with gold at the edges.

  I jumped up and brought out a purple and white patch that I let in my pocket I'm case any of the patches on my sweater come off. I tossed it to his feet and he picked it up and curled into a ball.

  On Valentine's day, so close to one another, yet,

   so far away.

  ~~At the moment of the kidnapping~~

   Anonymous POV

  I watched as the sides walked towards the sounds of the beautiful bird's voice.

  That siren was going to be a problem.

  I watched sadly as they were pushed violently under their mind control, Remus and Lust were being very aggressive towards them. All except for Virgil. They looked as though they were afraid of Virgil.

  Alas, they should be. What he once was, the mere thought of it would have made them quiver. If only I could help them. But, my help will need to be times perfectly. The time will come when I will have to introduce myself to the sides. Maybe even Luna will come with me.

  As they got farther away, I felt the Library begin to sink. I swiftly flew from the libraries roof and into small conspicuous circles around the parameter of the library. I created a barrier for the sides. As long as they were in the library, they would be safe from the Dark Sides.

  I began to fly home, watching my sand yellow skirt flap behind me. This was going to be a long painfully difficult wait until I would have to save them from Insomnia.

  I smiled and exelerated my flight speed towards home.

  Hello!!! I really wanted to write this chapter. Hahaha. I know it's depressing, but like, the anonymous POV is a vital character. I really can't wait for them to appear in the near chapters.

  Bye Queens, Kings, and you Royals in Between.

  PEACE OUT!!!!!
