Sanders Sides One-Shots

20) Deceit's Game Pt.5

Over the course of the tests, Virgil tried his hardest to stop his friend's pain and get them out as fast as he could. He believed that the other's could see this, but Deceit had other plans. He manipulated what the other 3 sides saw, even as they saw it. To them, things looked different. Very different.

------

I blinked a few times and lifted my head. Nausea hit me and I groaned softly. I tried to stand up, but quickly realized I was restrained. Nervously, I looked around my surroundings. Just white walls and random items scattered about.

Confused, but feeling better, I noticed that I could hear muffled voices in front of me. I struggled to pick out the words, but couldn't. Suddenly, the wall in front of me opened up.

I stared right into Virgil's eyes. Virgil was grinning menacingly. "Vir-Virgil?" I stuttered shocked. Virguk waved his fingers at me, before tapping a pedestal in front of him.

Electricity shot through my body. Not enough to kill me or make me pass out, but enough to cause pain. A lot of pain. A scream escaped my throat. Virgil looked up briefly to smile at me.

The process continued. Virgil tapped something onto the pedestal, electricity shocked me, then I screamed. Each time, I struggled against my bonds, eager to leave the company of this traitor.

Eventually, I think he must have gotten bored with shocking me. He stopped the torture. I looked into his eyes, trying hard to convey my disgust with my eyes. He just laughed. Soon, I was unconscious again.

-----

I woke up dizzy. I tried to rub my eyes before I noticed that I was tied to a chair. Now I was confused. My eyes widened and I gasped as an unearthly scream sounded through the room. I knew that scream. It was Roman. At that point, I was angry. What was going on? Where was I? Who was hurting Roman? I started to sob.

Suddenly as they began, the screams stopped. The air was filled with a silence. I blinked as the wall in front of me slid open. When I could finally see, I saw Virgil standing before me smiling.

"Virge, kiddo, was that Roman?" I asked softly. Virgil nodded. "Why?" He started laughing, stepped forward, and pressed a button. I looked at him confused.

I turned my head towards a whirring noise. A small door had opened in the wall. Creepy, crawly death-dealers started to pour into the room. I started to scream. I turned to look at Virgil, to plead him to take them away, but he was gone.

Two hours later, my throat was hoarse from screaming. Still, I screamed. They were everywhere, all over me, biting me. Sidenote, they must not have been venomous as I am still alive and still feeling their fuzzy legs all over me. A soft hiss alerts me that something us happening. I open my eyes a little, only to see the world's largest spider ever hissing and lunging at me. My screams start to climb. A few minutes pass before I start to feel dizzy. I think I fell asleep, then.

------

I had woken up in a small room. I searched the room for a way out, or even a clue as to where I was. Suddenly, I heard Roman begin screaming. It stopped. And repeated again and again. Soon, I heard no more of Roman's screams. Now, I could only hear Patton's consistent shrieking. It drove into my brain, he sounded so scared and helpless. I began to search more frantically for a way out. I had to know what was going on.

A soft mechanical sound behind me informed me of the wall opening up. I turned to gaze directly into a smug Virgil's eyes.

"Virgil?" I questioned, my hear beginning to sink. I hoped he was okay. He said nothing. All he did was smile this evil smile and turn a key. With a click, small panels opened up in the room, allowing water to spill in. My eyes widened.

The water rose and Virgil did nothing he just laughed. I was searching for a way out again. The water was pooling around my knees. As the water hit my waist, I panicked and yelled at him.

"Virgil! What are you doing?"

"This? It's so much fun!" He retorted.

"What? I thought you liked me! Did you hurt Patton? How about Roman?" I sputtered.

"No, you nerd, you didn't like me! You fancied yourself in love with me. As if I could ever love anything as pathetic as you," he laughed. My eyes widened. I opened my mouth to respond, but no words came out. He was right; how could he love me?

By that time, the water was up to my chest; the chest Virgil had just ripped my heart out of. The water continued to rise, forcing me to tread water. My head hit the ceiling. I gave up. There was no point. The water covered my head. Under the water, I had a revelation. I had to live; someone had to sort through the nonsense for Thomas. I began panicking again. I resisted and struggled for air. But the room was full. The next thing I knew, I was unconscious.

------

The sides had all woken up in the common room a few minutes ago, all of them except Virgil that was. He was still sound asleep on the couch. The other three quickly began to tell their stories, what they saw and felt, to the rest. It wasn't long before they reached a desicion.

Virgil had betrayed them. Virgil had to go.

A/N

"I apologize for this taking so long. I've had a headache for a few days. Anyway, we've hit the main climax in the story. I've yet to decide how to end this thing. Good news though! Based on the poll on Amino, I have decided to release a separate book containing all parts of Deceit's Game. Don't worry, the parts will remain in this book as well. Love you all! Smiles!"
