The Mysterious Side

Nightmare experience

I was walking in the imagination and spotted my friends and brother chatting in a group circle. Walking closer I called to them, "Hey, guys! What are we talking about?" They ignored my question, "Did 'none' of you hear something?" Janus hissed his obvious lie, "Are you finally going crazy, Double Dee?" Remus practically cackled his statement. Virgil stayed silent as they all walked away from my direction, I screamed after them to come back but they simply neglected anything I did or said.

I jolted awake from the constant shaking, causing me to wake up to a growing panic attack. "Kiddo, it's alright. Do you want a hug?" I looked in Morality's direction only to realize I still had my blindfold off but ignored that fact and desperately clung to the father-like side. I noticed others in the background, one in red being held back by the other blue side, the other in purple was beside Morality on the bed. After a while of comfort from the light blue side, I broke the hug thinking that I might've been too clingy to them. I wiped my tears before signing, 'My deepest apologies, if I was too clingy for your liking. I didn't try to mean any harm...' I looked away from them as I backed myself to the corner of the bed in embarrassment and shame. They all turned to Logic to translate my statement, "This side spoke of an apology for being..." He searched in his vocabulary card stack to see if he has the correct pronunciation of the word, "clingy and they didn't mean to have the appearance for harmful intentions of this matter." "HA! That's hilarious!" One chimed in before any of them could say anything to convince me to not apologize, "A DARK SIDE not meaning to do harm?! This has to be a joke, I mean, c'mon! You really believe this... Emo 2.0?!" He chirped like an annoying parrot. I put my mask on without them noticing while they argued with each other and I could feel another panic attack crawling to the surface. I quickly threw on my hood and put my head into my knees that were tightly hugged to my chest while my hands covered my ears. My mind was racing too much to pay attention to my surroundings anymore, until a pair of headphones playing soft lullabies loud enough so I couldn't hear the screaming of anyone.

"Everyone shut up!!" They all went completely silent, shocked to see Virgil was the one who yelled, "Your arguing had almost caused this poor side to have a panic attack, so I would suggest that Logan take Princey outside to cool off..!" He scolded them while I barely heard anything they yelled and screamed. I waited to see if he would take the headphones off, I was genuinely scared to do something without permission, who knows what the sides who held me hostage could do if I wasn't careful. After I calmed down a bit he took off the headphones, "Are you good now?" He asked kindly, 'Yes, thank you for that, Virgil.' I signed kindly but with a bit of annoyance in my eyes, but even though he saw my annoyance of him he smiled like he did when we were little 'dark sides.' "Well, that's good. At least you aren't on the verge of a panic attack anymore, right?" He teased me as if I was a toddler again, 'Not funny, brother..!' I quickly signed, not realizing that I signed 'brother' instead of a name with my annoyance slowly rising. "Alright, alright... I'll let it go this time." He surrendered in dramatic defeat. Morality laughed at the both of us, acting in sibling ways. "Hehe, you two sure are close, aren't you?" He giggled at us acting like siblings. If only he knew that we are closer than everyone here. 'It's not funny, Morality! Stop laughing!!!' Morality pieced together what I said by my frantic signing and turned to Virgil to confirm what he thought I signed was true. As my brother nodded he said, "Aww, but you kiddos are just so cute! And you two act almost like your siblings and it's just so cute!!" He hugged me while I tried to distance myself from him. "Okay, Popstar. Give the poor side some personal space to breathe.." Virge quickly chimed in, trying to not have uncomfortable vibes to gloom the place. "Oh! I'm so sorry for that, kiddo! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable in any way.." He said apologetically while backing away from the hug, 'It's fine.. but when can I be unchained from the wall my legs have fallen asleep...' The father figure turned to the purple emo to translate the signed statement. "They said that it's fine and they want to be able to walk around unchained as their legs have fallen asleep." Virgil had translated into words for the father of the group, "Um... I don't know, kiddo. I'll have to convince Creativity to take away the chains... But you may be given some questions before we let you go.. If you're okay with that, of course..!" He frantically tried not to offend me in any way, which was very sweet. I nodded as they got up to get the prince from his temper tantrum cool down, it was pretty amusing to hear them arguing on whether they should let me roam around, to be honest.

912 words, I'm glad to see that my ideas for this story have led me to make longer chapters compared to my other stories where my ideas just ran out completely... But I'm improving and that's what matters to me so I guess I'm not gonna update a story unless I have ideas for new chapters.
