Virgil POV

It's been a month since the incident with Roman. His words replayed in my mind over and over again. I couldn't stop thinking about it. When I left him on his rooftop, I was met with a VERY worried Logan. It surprised me when my dark haired brother squished me in his arms. "I'm so sorry!" was all I could hear from his muffled sobs. We've been good since then, the two of us of course fought but not like before. I can lie but, this is....uh....too nice to lie about? Yeah that's it.

"And she won't talk to him now!" Remy told me as we ate lunch.

"Wow. To be honest I didn't expect Ella and Rich to break up. They were so happy!" I bit into my apple while Remy told me the latest news, being the gossiper he is.

I pulled out my phone and looked at my Tumblr. As I scrolled I noticed a certain post...

Avian Hunt Season!
Small & Simple
Is Having A
MASSIVE
Supply Give Away!

I would read more but, I couldn't. My heart was pounding inside me. I didn't realize the hunt was going on and it frightened me.  My hands shook violently, and I guess Remy noticed.

"Dude you OK?" he asked sending me a concerning look. He removed his sunglasses and rose a brow.

"I-It's time," I stumbled on my words,"Hunting season is here."

Remy looked at me with concern,"You should probably go then."

I nodded my head and as the lunch bell rang I went to the office. My breathing was picking up and quickly turned to short puffs of air. When I got to the office the Secretary looked at me weird and asked what I needed.

"I-I do-on't feel good-d," I managed to choke out to him,"C-can I cal-l ho-ome?"

"Of course Virgil. Go ahead," Mr. Hansen smiled at me.

I called Logan on my phone and used the code words mom and I had used in the past. In fifteen minutes I was out of the hell people call school, and out to the secret place I usually go to for this time if the year.

Logan knew the way well because of doing it so many times before. "If I would have known you wouldn't be skipping school," Logan spoke interrupting the silence.

"No it's f-fine," I stumbled. My brother sent me 'Are You Okay Look' and quickly averted his eyes back to the dirt road. I ignored him and closed my eyes.

I was felt my shoulder move and I cracked open one eye,"What?" I groaned.

"We're here."
