"Oh shut up, they have the shitty stuff. I, on the other hand, know where to get the good shit."

"That you do, Secrets, that you do."

Virgil spent the next day alone in his room watching a show Secrets had suggested to him the night before. He had no intention of leaving his room if it wasn't necessary. Morality had come up to check on him but would quickly leave after feeling the effects of the new side, so that left him alone all day. Days were often like this for him after drinking with Secrets for hours, mainly because Secrets would sleep all day. Virgil has sworn many times in the past that she was like a cat, especially with how quickly she lost interest in most people.

After binging a season of the show, he looked down at the clock to find it to be almost 5 pm. It didn't take long for Virgil to pick an outfit to visit his family in. He pulled a baggy black and gray long-sleeved striped shirt, a black belt, and a pair of black ripped jeans. He had a pair of all black converse paired with a pair of purple socks. Virgil pulled his right sleeve up, revealing a silver bracelet around his wrist. Before touching it, he looked up around his room and decided to grab his black hoodie and slip it on over his shirt.

Virgil then pulled the sleeves up and turned the bracelet around until finding a small button on it. In front of him a portal appeared, he walked into it ready to see his family. Stepped out onto the gated front yard of a large 3-story modernized Victorian style house. He pressed the button on the bracelet again before making his way to the front door and knocking.

The door was opened by a man not much taller than him, he had brown hair similar to his own, some of it stuck to the sides of his face while the rest of it had a greasy glaze to it. Unlike Virgil, he bore light blue eyes that matched his mother's and he was a lot thinner than Virgil. He had a blue and red sweater on with an opened black zip-up hoodie over-top. He had a pair of brown pants paired with a pair of gray socks.

"Hey Mike."

"Virgil, it's been too long dude." Mike said as he pulled Virgil into a hug.

"I missed you too, Michael."

Michael gave Virgil a smile as the two pulled out of their hug. "You want to come in? Bella and Jeffery are staying for the week, so they're here." Michael moved to the side as he spoke, letting Virgil in. "I probably should mention that Henry is also here, we're looking for mum."

"Why are you looking for mum?" Virgil asked as the two walked towards the kitchen after Virgil had taken off his shoes.

"You know how long it's been since we've seen her, so we're looking for her and Clara."

Virgil nodded as they walked into the kitchen to find a young kid cooking dinner with her older brother while Henry leaned over a large collection of papers on the inland. Henry had light brown, almost caramel colored hair. He had red, almost brown eyes. He had on a gray checkered polo, paired with a gray pair of jeans and black socks. Henry also had a pair of metal framed glasses that he wore.

The kid helping with dinner had long ginger hair that was tied up into a bun, her brother also bore the same color, inheriting it from their father. On the other hand, the girl's eyes were blue like her mother's and her brother's were blue-green like their father's. The girl had a pink sweater with rolled up sleeves, a pair of ripped gray jeans, and fuzzy pink socks. Her brother on the other hand had on a gray flannel, black jeans, and gray socks.

"Uncle Henry, Virgil's here." Henry looked up and smiled before going over to hug him.

"Hey kid, how are you?" Henry asked while pulling Virgil into a hug.

"I'm okay. I moved, so some things certainly have changed," Virgil mumbled out as he embraced him.

"I hope you like your new place."

"Oh it's not too bad, my roommates are nicer."

"That's good, kid. Are you staying for dinner?" Henry asked as they pulled out from the hug.

"I would like to, if that's okay with the chefs?"

"I don't care, what about you Bells?" The older of the gingers spoke as he asked his little sister who was also looking at their uncle.

"Ooo yeah, can ya' please stay!" She exclaimed as she glanced up to her brother before going back to Virgil.

Virgil smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I'll stay."
