[Oof, I forgot the main plot, but thankfully I had a plan B and the book will soon be ending.
But don't worry, once I finish my other two books, I'll make a sequel (hopefully).

[Aight, so, I'm editing this right now and just a little warning: I'm mainly focusing on Thomas this chapter to kinda *searches for the right word* uh.. Fill the gap? I guess? On how Thomas himself is doing.]

Thomas looked around the living room. It was almost an identical version of his own but the colors were different. Wrath shielded his eyes as if he was being blinded by the place.
"We're in the Light Sides commons. Us Dark Sides are forbidden to come here other than Deceit and occasionally Remus." Wrath grabbed Thomas's hand gently and began to guide the host towards the Dark Sides hallway.
Thomas followed, surprised at how gentle the Dark Side was being. He never expected any of the dark ones to be gentle or kind as they usually made their first impressions seem like they were the most evil little shits ever.
"Follow me Sanders, we've got a lot of work that needs to be done." Wrath smiled a little, his eyes beginning to glow as they entered the darkness. "I would advise you to stay quiet and not let go of my hand. Since you're the host, I can't afford you getting hurt by one of them despite you sitting on the couch with your eyes closed right now."
Thomas poured but agreed. He began to wonder what was going on on his head. All he had been told before was that Apathy had sewn Deceits mouth shut, but he guessed a lot more had happened afterwards.
"I'm going to warn you now; I was part of the cult but it was by force. Half of the cult isn't even real aside from me, Lust, Envy, Greed and Pride." Wrath sighed quietly. The glow from his eyes diminished a little in sadness.
"Aren't there two other deadly sins?" Thomas questioned. Wrath tensed up a little. It was quiet for a while, the only sounds were the clicking of Wraths heeled ankle boots. Thomas could sense the tension in the air. "Did I cross the line?"
Wrath shook his head slightly. "It's.. It's painful to talk about.." The Side went quiet again, gently guiding Thomas through the halls with ease. Thomas could hear his own heart beating loudly as they walked.
~•~•~•~•~
They got to a door that had an octopus holding a deodorant stick on it. Thomas instantly knew who it belonged to.
"Do we seriously have to be around that.. That.. Nuisance?" Thomas asked. Wrath hissed at him.
"Yes." He stated simply. The Side knocked on the door in a very weird tune. The door slowly creaked open and two hands pulled Wrath and Thomas into the room a am before the door shut behind them.
"Apathy didn't follow you, did he?" a voice asked. Thomas had a hard time adjusting to the dimness of the room.
"Not that I know of, no." Wrath replied. Four Sides stepped out of the darkness and into the little light in the room. One of then was very obviously Remus.
"I see you brought Thomas! This is such fun!" The dark creative side giggled enthusiastically. Thomas became physically uncomfortable but didn't want to hurt Remus' feelings.
"Not now Remus. We need Thomas to help us." One of the others spoke quietly. He had a black crown floating above his head. Remus pouted but nodded in understanding.
"Thomas, meet your Greed, Pride, and Lust." Wrath smiled a little. "In other words, meet my boyfriend and two best friends. You already know Romans neglected twin." Wrath giggled a little as Greed wrapped his arms around him.
"Where's Envy?" Thomas questioned. All the Sides in the room physically tensed up. "Did I step over the line again..?"
"Envy, or Romeo as his name is, works for Apathy.." Remus murmured. Lust gave the saddened trait a slight hug before backing away. He didn't want to slip into being sexual at a moment like this.
"You see, babes, we need your help. You're the host, so you have power over the Dark Leader." Lust was doing his best to handle self control. Pride and Remus was helping him with that. "You can defeat him the same way you control Deceit; by wanting the opposite of what we are. Remus is weakened by logic, me by love, Greed by selflessness. Pride and Wrath are still in the process of finding their weak points. Envy is weakened by Virgil himself as that's who he loves, and the two forbidden to talk about one's are already gone."
Thomas nodded slowly. He had mixed feelings about this; then again, he was in a room full of sins and intrusive thoughts. "Remus, stop it with the stabbing thoughts already! It's getting annoying when I'm trying to think of a plan."
"I can't help it! I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do!" Remus crossed his arms, the soft green-yellow glow of his eyes showed guilt. Pride rubbed his back. That when Thomas thought of an actual idea.
"Who's Logans counterpart?"
