The dark sides.

Justice and conflict.

Warning contains depression and all that jazz. And yes I changed the veiw deal with it.

Roman sighed. He opened his notebook. He wrote an idea he had down. Then he threw it in the corner and flopped on his bed. 'uggh I did it again' he thought to himself. 'I should have stayed. or said something. Ugggh. He probably hates me. Actually that is a fact that he hates me.'

Roman sat up. 'might as well visit him.'

Roman opened the door to Virgil's room. He knocked. Nothing. He knocked again. Still nothing. He opened the door. Virgil quickly pulled down his sleeves. (I am so sorry for this) his eye shadow was running. and his face a puffy red.

"Roman!" Virgil exclaimed in a melancholy. He ran forward and hugged Roman. "She got me."

"Who?" Roman inquired anxiously.

"Dah-" Virgil pushed away from Roman.

"What happened Virgil? What is wrong?!"

"I need to help him, she cant get him." Virgil said to himself. "I will explain I promise"

Before Roman could say a word Virgil snapped his fingers. Roman found himself in a purple and black room. There were three posters around the room.

Logan's poster was posing with crofters.

Wait a minute Patton had wings in that one. Did the next one have both Roman and Virgil?

Romans mouth was open. His poster looked like that?! Who's room was this? Why wasn't there a poster of Virgil? He looked around the room. I had cobwebs in the corners but not all over the room like in Virgil's room. It had a series of books that all had dark covers. A curtain that was a dark grey hung at the east side of the room.

Behind it was just a darkness.

Roman realized where he was the sub-conscious. 

Roman ran his hand through his hair. A book caught his eye. It was black with silver markings and a clear crystal. It said 2016. Roman opened it. He flipped through it there were drawings, poems, and entries. He flipped to the last page. It read:

Today is my last day in the subconscious. I have been chosen by intercom to be more incorporated in Thomas's life I will have to leave home and I am going be in the conscious as a core. I am exited and terrified to meet my idols.

I am going to be anxiety and so I know that I wont be too welcome.

My job is to keep Thomas safe, however many people don't understand that. I will have to say goodbye to my friends, and a lot of them are permanent subconscious residents. So I can't see them again.

My heart is pounding. I am especially terrified to meet Creativity, as I have said before he is the only other side I... like in that way. Although he doesn't like fear and so he won't like me. I was given advice to keep my guard up. So I will over act for a bit. Act a little more dark than usual that is.

I might not ever see this room again. Goodbye home sweet home.

Roman realized that this was Virgil's old room. His heart and stomach were doing back flips.

'Did he say he liked me?' Roman thought to himself.

'I wish knew that. Now that I do, what do I do?' Roman shook himself. 'This isn't what I should be focusing on! Why did Virgil put me here and what is happening?!' Roman had wasted enough time. He opened the door out of the room. He found himself in a hallway leading to stairs. He saw another door. 'Who else lives here?'

He opened it. Inside was a woman with long black hair that was put up wearing a blue kimono. She turned to him smiling. "Virgil honey you are home!" She hugged him tightly. As she stepped back a confused look was on her face. "Oh you're not Virgil" She circled around him. "You are that creativity boy." A cold stare met his eyes but then it quickly softened. "I am Virgil's mom Yua. I am affection. Why are here in here?"

"Umm-"

Patton and Logan burst through the door.

"Yua!" Patton exclaimed. "I would like a reunion but  we need to speak to Virgil."

"OK. I will summon him"

Roman felt a hand on his shoulder. 

Virgil was pushed into the wall. 

"what THE HELL HAPPENED?!"

Virgil said nothing. Roman wouldn't believe him. Tears ran down his face. They sank through the floor. Roman let Virgil sink to the ground. He pulled out his sword. "EXPLAIN NOW"

Virgil said nothing. Roman would hate him no matter what he said.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GOOD SIDE."

That stung.

"Her name is Dahlia."

"What?"

"She is depression."

"AND WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE SUB?" 

"She..." He pulled up his sleeve.

Romans sword dropped. Arms wrapped around Virgil.

"I-I am so sorry. ?I had no idea. Listen-" Roman made sure Virgil could look in his eyes. "I won't doubt you, I am here for you, and You are never alone." 'why am I such a monster?' Roman asked himself.

Virgil blushed.

"Now lets clean you up." Roman snapped his fingers and Virgil's makeup was no longer running.

When they came back... Let's just say Yua was angry. 

Ivory sighed. They hadn't been summoned once by Thomas nobody had. She was walking down the hallway. She quietly went down the stairs and then her heart started pounding. "Lilly!"

Her girlfriend rose up."Yes?"

"Something is happening with the sides. The core sides. I-I sense a dark side taking over."

"Doesn't that mean..."

"One or more side has been infected by a dark side."

"What are we going to do?"

"Find the cores."

"Ok"

They rose through a new room. The backs of cores were turned to them.

"Hello!"

The cores screamed in unison and turned around. Along with a woman who didn't seem shocked at their arrival. 

"This is going to sound weird but I sensed a darker side."

"We know. Her name is Dahlia she is the depression side."

Lilly  sighed. "Oh her"

"She wants to take over Thomas." Virgil stepped forward. He was a few inches taller than Ivory.

"And if she does she will bring over Ana and Mia."

When ever Ivory believed deeply in something she would fight to the death for it.

"I am in." (I know I suck at writing)

"Roman you are creativity therefore you should create the weapons."

"Weapons?"

"And armor."

"Why do we need that?"

Lilly put her hand on Ivory's shoulder. "Trust her."
