This story is about a mystery of humanity, an unnatural phenomenon who still many don't understand, a tale of unusual and deeply disturbing things, many horrific sights and evil deeds, our story starts in a seemingly normal cirque.
No sound came out of the tent, for what I knew, everything inside was dead, or either planning our forever torture, I still had to see Virgil, and what I saw was concerning, in a good way

His eyes, as well as his curls, everything changed, I wonder what happened to him as I look at that face "Why did I have a cross in my pocket?" I look at his golden, hypnotizing eyes "Why are you blushing Alley dear?" I put the hands on my face "No It's alright, just... What happened?" "I wonder it too" he responded still busy searching in his clothes.
It was fun and all, but then I told him "Now what do we do?" He looked at me and thought "You want the truth? I don't know either, I left everyone behind and I... Think I lost my powers" well that was actually a twist, but then I thought better about it "Wait... So basically, now you're not a freak anymore! Isn't it amazing?" He passed a hand in his new hairs "Yeah, unfortunately I got this blessing at the wrong time, speaking of it, now you're puppeteer huh?".
Right, I forgot, it seems like the universe sadistic nature acted, swapping each other places "Well! I just need a coat or a jacket and it's all good, you instead, you can act like a normal person now" he didn't seem relieved about it, his body changed, there was no sign of weirdness to people, and yet he's character didn't break by even a bit, still cold and tenebrific.
"My face might as well be anagalactic, but I still feel like a freak... I can't believe I let those demons hurt my fellows..." I took him by the shoulders "Hey hey! Stay with me ok? We will find a way to fix things, we just need time and a plan" he put his hand on the face knowing things weren't easy, but I like challenges "For now, let's do something more intelligent, let's rest at my place, it has been almost a month I didn't get to my apartment, and... Wait a second".
I searched for my keys, and I wouldn't be surprised I lost them in hell or in whatever other place because of what happened, but against all expectations I found them in the pocket of my trousers "Let's go! My boss will be mad as whole hell! Hahaha, get it? Huh... And smile for once!" I still urge Virgil to act like a normal human, as he seems annoyed about my continuous talking about emotions.
After less than a hour we arrive to my apartment, a little normal apartment with a small bed and the least to live, two rooms, the bathroom and the center room with the bed the kitchen and a table with two chairs in case of guests or humanized freaks "Here, it's so dusty! I should clean, anyway, I know it's not as big as your cirque, but it's the best I can afford, that is the bed, and this is the kitchen, and that door leads to the bathroom, clear?" "Understood Alley"
"And stop calling me Alley ok? It seems like... We don't know each other" "Isn't it true?" "Well no! I actually know a lot about you" he didn't seem to reciprocate the opinion at first but then shrugged his shoulders off "Ok, so what should I call you?" The question threw me off "Well..." I blushed "You can call me friend or just... You know forget it, Alley is good" "I got what you want, darling" that answer gave me both chills and made me flustered.
I just covered my face and turned, I forgot the fact Virgil was also a human before, and so he knows how to play this games... "Fuck" "What did you say?" "Nothing, ehm... Let's just rest for a bit ok, aren't you hungry?" "Unfortunately yes, losing my powers now I feel the mortal need to eat again" "Great! Then... I'll cook for you ok?" He nodded with the head while sitting on the guest chair looking at me as I turned my back.
"It has been a long time since I saw a woman backside you know? Yours seems quite inviting" blushing I turn to look at his eyes "Virgil! Just don't say this things ok? You're making me uncomfortable" he seemed surprised by my reaction, then I got back to concentrating on the kitchen and trying to cook something, probably he meant it in a real way, not lustfully.
After some time I got in front of him a plate of vegetables soup, the only thing that was still usable in the fridge after all the time I didn't come home, he got a spoon, and tasted it "You're really good at cooking dear" "Well... Thanks Virgil, I guess it's good just because you haven't eaten in a while" he then got another spoon of soup "No, I mean it really, it's the nectar of the gods, I tell you, I never fell for gluttony, but you might make me".
I don't know if I can take that as a compliment, but let's pretend I think he's grateful, anyway, once we were done night arrived, and so as the sun fell down, Virgil sighed of relief "What is it?" "It's the first time... I can feel relaxed at night without needing to deal with those demons" I didn't blame him, it really is a relief "Now, here's the bed, I'll sleep on the floor ok?" His eyes opened wide and he stopped me.
I could see him so close to me, almost feeling the breath "It's your house, I'm going to sleep on the mere floor, lay down, don't intricate yourself about me" he unbuttoned the suit, put it on the chair behind him and then the shirt, revealing the physique, pale because of the fact Virgil doesn't see the sun, but sculpted by Michelangelo himself "Why are you watching darling?" "Ehm?! Me?! Nothing! Goodnight" I quickly turned to the other side.
