Hello! Welcome to my book! Warnings for this chapter: Swearing. Almost calling Virgil paranoid. That's all I can think of.

Who am I? Well, that's hard to explain. Do you know of a guy named Thomas Sanders? Yeah, um. I'm his Secretive side. Everyone calls me Keeper. I'm a friend to Logan, Patton, Roman, Virgil, and even Remy. However, I do indeed know of Deceit, Remus, and the others. It started when Thomas was young. He kept this secret, then poof. Me. Very simple. I could go more in depth but, I don't feel like it. I mean, that's enough explaining, onto the present!

Beep. Beep. Beep. Be-. Ugh. Mornings. I get up brush my hair, and do my makeup (if you do), get dressed, and head to breakfast, coffee, the only thing that keeps me sane. When I get to the kitchen, strangely, I only see a few sides. Usually I'm the last one down here. There's only Patton and Roman.

"Good morning Kiddo! Are you ready for bacon and eggs?" Patton asks me, putting bacon and eggs on a plate. "Always, thanks Pat." I say to the punderful side. Yes, punderful. "Where is *Yawn* everyone else?" I ask. "Logan said he was working on something, Remy is only god knows where," I give a chuckle, knowing Remy he is probably at Starbucks. "and Thomas is just, sitting in his room. Thinking about something I guess. Virge is, probably sleeping, he's been a lot more down lately if you couldn't tell." The fanciful side says. Yeah. He has been. "Yeah. I wonder what's up with him." I say. "I hope he's all right." Patton says. "I do too." I say.

"SUP BITCHES!!!" I hear coming from the door as I fall out of my seat. "REMY JESUS CHRIST!!!" Roman shouts. "IT'S 8:00 IN THE MORNING!!!" I yell. "TOO EARLY FOR THIS!!!" I yell once more. Patton just stares. Probably from the swear words that were said. "Sorry babes! Just really hyped for some reason! Then again, I'm always hyped around fall soooooo! Yep!" Remy says. "But hey! I got y'all some Starbies!" The party animal says. He goes around the table handing all of us some 'Starbies'.

Logan comes down stairs. "Could you just. Be a little. Quieter?" The nerd says. "Nope!" Remy says. "I guess you got me downst- and Keeper is down here before me." Logan says. "Hiya! What took you so long?" I ask. "Just a little, uh, project I've been working on." The teacher says a bit hesitant. "Alright." I say with a hint of question in my voice.

We all eat our breakfast, soon enough everyone is here. Not including the uh. Others. Deceit and Remus don't hang out with us unless they are planning something. During breakfast though. Virgil was acting a bit odd. I always have a feeling when someone is acting off it's Deceit. Sometimes I'm right. Other times I'm wrong. This time. I was right.

"Virgil? Are you okay?" I ask. "I'm not okay. I promise." He says. I was almost convinced from that My Chemical Romance reference, he was Virgil. But I knew. It had to be Deceit. Virgil was never the first to start a conversation. "So Roman, how did you-" "Deceit, realize, Virgil never starts a conversation." I interrupt. "What?" Virceit asks. "I'm not Deceit." The faker says. "Yeah. That isn't true." I say. He says. "Alright, ya caught, you are good Keeper." He stops and becomes himself. "You are very good." The snake says. "Thanks. Where is Virgil?" I ask. "Easy Keeper. Don't get impatient now." Jack the fibber says. "You're not my dad. Where is Virgil?" I ask again. Deceit sighs. "In his-" "Hi, hello. Be gone." Virgil interrupts. "Thank you guys for just constantly interrupting me, mwah, mwah! So good!" Deceit sarcastically remarks. "Well you interrupted our breakfast. So what is it you want?" Virgil asks. "I just wanted to see what happened in a day. But of course..." The snake pauses for a second, "You simply just wouldn't let me because, I'm me." Deceit finishes. "Why, is it because your jealous tha-" "Irgilvay hutsay phay!" I shout.

That's Pig Latin for 'Virgil shut up!' Me and Virgil often speak Pig Latin when we don't want others to understand. "T'shay otnay ymay aultfay ouyay ikelay Omanray!" The Emo Nightmare says. 'It's not my fault you like Roman.' He keeps saying that. I don't. Sure Roman is my friend. But, that's all. I throw bacon at him. "OH FRICK!!!" He shouts. "You can stay." I say towards the slimy boi and walk up to my room. Virgil and I still fight, but we're friends... right?

I just spend the day at Emile's. He often helps me. I can trust him. For those of you who don't know. By Emile. I mean Dr. Picani. He's a therapist after all. Why wouldn't I trust him. "So Keeper, what's bothering you?" The goofball asks. "Virgil still thinks I like Roman, but I don't." I push a strand of hair out of my face. "I only see him as a friend." I tell him. "How did this start?" The doc asks. "We were all sitting at the table eating breakfast but Virgil seemed off. It turned out to be... Deceit." I say. "And did Deceit say what he wanted?" Emile asks. "He wanted to observe us for a day. Then Virgil was going to say, something like 'why because Keeper likes Roman and you're jealous?'" I say. "What was everyone's reaction?" "They couldn't react because I shouted at Virgil while he was talking. Then threw bacon at him." I say, chuckling at myself for throwing bacon as a form of self-defense. "Well, What do you plan to do now?" He asks. I pause for a second. "Hide in my room." I say hesitantly. "And, why is that?" He asks. It was a good question. I think as fast as possible. "Because..." I pause. "Because I don't want people to see me after I snap. Especially, after Deceit is going to be there." I say. "Deceit is... going to be there?" Dr. Picani asks. "Yes. I uh. Told him he could stay. Walked to my room, then. Here I am." I admit. Why did I say that? Why did I tell Deceit he could stay. Why? "I guess I uh, told him that because I didn't care. I mean... at the time, I was too caught up with Virgil being a bit, Virgil." I say. "Alright, but are you feeling better now?" He asks. "Uh. Yeah. Not good. But better." I say. "Well, that's better than nothing. Gold enough to hang out with everyone?" He says. "I think so..." I say.

"Good. And right on time. We have no more time!" He says. "Oh! Uh. Thanks Emi- I mean. Dr. Picani." I stutter. "Oh it's fine. Please feel free to call me by my first name!" He says. "Okay, thanks again Emile. Bye!" I wave. "Bye!" He waves back.

I appear back in my room. I go to the living room. I just sit on the couch. Next to Patton of course. He wouldn't judge. "You doing okay kiddo?" Patton asks. "Of course Patton!" I say cheerfully. "Good! I certainly hope so, because we wanted to tell you that. There's a party tomorrow, but we didn't want to make matters worse because of how... what's a good word?" Patton says. "Introverted." Logan says. Jesus Christ where did he come from? "Yes! So, would you mind coming?" Patton asks. "Why are we having a party tomorrow anyways?" I ask. "Because parties are fun!" Roman shouts. "Yeah. Not for an introvert." I say. "Oh c'mon Keeper! Everyone will be there! Deceit, Remus, Emile, Remy, Virgil," The father figure names all the sides, Thomas and his friends. "Ok. Fine! Only because I have yet to meet Talyn." "You would meet Talyn if you were out of your room more often. Talyn's sense of style is much like you and Virgil." Logan states. "What?" Virgil asks appearing out of nowhere. "Talking about how you, Keeper, and Talyn all have a similar style." Logan says. Oh yes. Forgot to mention. My style is rather emo. "Well, could you or talk about me behind my back?" Virgil says. "I didn't. I talked about you in another room." Logan says. I facepalm. Logan. You need to learn. "Thanks for that clarification." Virgil says. "Virgil calm down! It's only Logan being Logan." Deceit says. "No one cares." Panic! At the everywhere says. "Ouch! That hurt Virgil. It hurt. Very much." Says the snake. "What also hurt is shouting in Pig Latin. Am I complaining? No." Damn. "Itchbay!" I shout. 'Bitch!'

"What? I'm sorry! When you li-" "I'm sorry, you're pa-" I pause. "Afraid of what Deceit is going to do." I finish. He sinks down. As do I. I go back to my room. I lose track of time. Then. I pass out.

And scene! Thanks for reading Demons, Angels, and everyone in between.
