Sleepwalking

Virgil sleep walked. No one noticed at first because he'd stay in his room, wandering around in circles. Even Virgil himself didn't realise.

Then it got worse. Virgil started walking the hallways, unnoticed by anyone.

Virgil eventually realised one day when he woke up in the imagination forest instead of his own bed. After that he tried to do all sorts to keep himself in his room. He locked his door, put furniture in front of it and even removed the doorknob.

Nothing worked and every night without fail he would wander the halls, completely unaware of his surroundings.

One night as Virgil did his usual sleepwalking routine someone noticed.

Logans door had been partially open and as Virgil shuffled past, Logan glanced up and caught sight of him.

Frowning Logan got up and peered out of his door to spot Virgil turn the corner.

Curious, Logan followed and soon realised Virgils predicament.

Carefully he turned Virgil around and guided him back to his room where he decided to stay and observe Virgil.

Virgil tried to walk out of the room several times and each time Logan made sure to stop him. He was fascinated and wondered if it was a regular thing and if Virgil knew he did it.

The next morning at breakfast while Roman and Patton discussed just how many pancakes the batter would make, Logan confronted Virgil.

"you were sleepwalking last night. Were you aware of that?" he asked and Virgil sighed and nodded.

Logan considered him for a second and said "if you sleepwalk tonight I'll have to observe, sleepwalking is an intriguing thing that I'd like to understand more and what better way than to observe it with your own eyes?"

The question was rhetorical and Virgil shifted uncomfortably. He needed to think up a way to stop Logan from watching him and fast.

"it was probably just a one off, plus the idea of having you watch me while I sleep is really creepy." he said and Logan frowned with disappointment but replied "OK, I'll refrain from that then."

Patton and Roman suddenly tuned in, having finished their conversation. "so how are you two this morning?" Patton asked while Roman just piled lots of pancakes onto his plate.

"just a little tired." Virgil replied, poking at the single pancake he had on his plate. He didn't feel very hungry so he took a couple bites and quickly made an excuse to leave.

As shut his door Virgil decided that he'd just not fall asleep so he didn't sleep walk again.

Night fell and Virgil made sure to sneak a few energy drinks into his room to keep himself awake.

He managed to keep himself from falling asleep and although he felt exhausted, as daylight began to creep through the window he was relieved.

Logan seemed to have noticed he hadn't been sleepwalking the previous night because he didn't even bother trying to talk to Virgil about it.

Patton frowned as Virgil downed a cup of coffee which was very unusual considering the number of times Virgil insisted he didn't like the taste of it. He made a mental note to keep an eye on him.

That was why Patton was the next to find out. He woke up in the middle of the night and decided to grab a cup of warm milk or something to help him get back to sleep and he made it a point to walk past Virgils door.

He knew Virgil had a horrible habit of staying up until the early hours of the morning so he stopped and listened to see if Virgil was asleep.

"don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep." came a muffled chant and Patton was instantly concerned. Something had obviously happened to make Virgil not want to sleep and he wouldn't rest until he found out what and helped him get through it.
