♥ 27 - window ♥

*patton's pov*

"Yeah... We probably should," I replied quietly.

Logan stared guiltily at the floor. "I don't like saying I'm sorry, but I'm very sorry. Patton, I never meant to ignore you..."

"I understand, Lo, it's just sometimes being pushed to the side feels... not fantastic."

"Yes, and I apologize. What I've been doing to you is very wrong and if I do it again, please tell me right away, but I will do my best. A lot of the time, I get carried away and tend to stop listening to others, but I realized I need to fix that."

I smiled fondly at him. "I forgive you... Also, can we be boyfriends again? Breaking up with someone doesn't feel any better a second time..."

"Of course."

Suddenly, a loud scream came from Roman's room.

I scrambled to his room, and before I swung the door open, Logan stopped me.

"Be quiet and open the door slowly in case Deceit is in there," he advised.

So I did, and there was a slimy boi standing right behind Roman, whose eyes were glowing gold.

Virgil was screaming and crying as Deceit spoke and his words came out of Roman's mouth.

Suddenly, Deceit looked right at me and Logan, smiled evilly, and pulled us inside.

*virgil's pov + hUGE TW because this is vERY DARK*

I sprinted out of Roman's room, while discreetly grabbing his sword, and into my own when Deceit pulled Patton and Logan inside.

Patton was squirming in Deceit's grasp and I was hiding in the bathroom connected to my bedroom.

I shrieked when I heard a door get snapped in half.

"Come out, Virgil! We aren't going to hurt you!" the trio said in unison.

That's it. There was no escape. Except-

Furious banging on the bathroom door made me jump and hold the sword up.

The only escape was out the window, but there was no way I would be able to survive the fall.

The door was released from its hinges and fell down, revealing Roman, Patton, and Logan standing in front of me with bright gold eyes.

One half of Roman's face had a few scales from his jawline to his cheekbone. Half of Patton's face looked like Deceit's already, since he's the weakest out of all of us if you don't count me. Logan was trying to fight against it, but the minds of other two were already completely taken over.

I held Roman's sword to his neck. It hurt to do so, but it wasn't him...

"Do it," he hissed. "I dare you."

Patton laughed. "You could never. You're too weak to save yourself."

"Virgil, don't listen to them, they-" Logan tried so say as he pulled against something invisible around his neck.

"Shut up, Logan," Patton scolded.

Roman looked right into my eyes and I felt myself start to become nauseous.

"You know I love you, right?" he asked in his normal, caring, gorgeous voice.

I nodded.

"Just listen to me then, okay?"

Part of me knew it was a trick, but I just couldn't resist him. I nodded again.

"Now, do you see that window over there?"

I looked at the window and back at him. I nodded.

"I want you to jump out of it. It's your only way to escape. I'll come down as soon as I can to catch you, and I'm a fast runner. Deceit won't get to you and we can run away until Thomas gets rid of him, okay?"

What? No! There was no way he could go all the way down the stairs and out the door to stand outside my window before I had fallen.

But I had to trust him. He was right!

"What if you don't catch me?" I asked worriedly.

"That won't be a problem," Logan said. "Thomas doesn't need you anyway."

"Nobody truly loves you," Patton added on. "Well, except for Roman. But he's telling you something and he loves you so of course he wouldn't want you to get hurt."

"Yes, but-" I tried to talk.

"You love him, don't you?"

Looking at all three of them, I nodded.

"Then do what he says," Logan insisted.

I stared at Roman and he gestured to the window. He unlocked and opened it for me, leaving it to be the only exit.

He put two fingers under my chin and lifted my head to look at him.

"Are you sure it's safe?" I asked.

"I'm completely sure," he said.

He sounded so sincere...

He's a prince. Of course. He could save anyone he wanted to.

"Hold my hand before I do it?"

He kissed me and nodded, taking my cold hand into his.

Shaking slightly, I stood up on the windowsill. Roman pushed the curtains aside a little more to give me more space.

"Hurry this along," Logan yawned. "Nobody cares about you anyway. What are you waiting for?"

I realized... I didn't know.

So with one deep breath and one comforting hand squeeze from Roman, I took one step out and over the edge.

Tumbling down, I felt nothing before something broke, I was hit with immense pain for a split second, and the world around me turned black.
