Once upon a dream (Sanders Sides Prinxiety High School AU)

Chapter 7- Man Hunt

Sorry this took forever to get out! But, I think this is the longest thing I ever written..
Roman's POV
"Roman.." I feel someone shake me from my sleep. If you know me, you also know a big fact about me. I am NOT a person you want to wake up. Ask my old alarm clocks. I growl and pull the blanket I WAS sleeping with closer, rolling over. "Roman..."
"Go away!" I hissed.
"Fine.. Guess you don't want to play man-hunt.." I feel weight lift off the bed and footsteps, they stop and the sound of someone adding weight to a bed came and then silence. I could practically sense the smirk on Virgil's face as I groaned loudly and sat up, rubbing my eyes.
"Hey princy! Ready to go?" Virgil asked with a smirk, jumping to his feet.
"UuuuggGGGggHhhHhh!!!"
"Good! C'mon! Get your shoes on! We gotta go meet up with Patt and Lo!"
"Ugh, fiiiinnnneeee!" I swing my feet over the side of the bed and stand up, kneeling down to put my shoes on.
"What time is it?" I ask, reaching for my phone.
"8:49" I Sigh again.
"Okay, let's go." I flip my jacket over my shoulders and walk up to the door where Virgil was now standing, waiting for me.
"Let's go Sir-Sings-A-Lot."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Virgil's POV
I close the door behind us and we begin walking toward Patton and Logan's cabin.
"Fuckin' waking me up at fuckin' 9:00.. fuckin' little-" I raise an eyebrow and turn to see Roman muttering angrily under his breath.
"You good there Romano?" He looks up at me.
"I would be better if I was still asleep..." He muttered, whining. I just chuckle.
"Whatever, you're the one who agreed to play it."
"I- Whatever." Roman huffed, crossing his arms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had finally gotten to Patton and Logan's cabin and they Answers after about 2 minutes. We decided to walk over to the car and begin there. After a couple bumps in the road and Roman complaining, we decided that Logan would be it for the first round. He turned around and began counting slowly
"1...2...3...4...-" We all ran in different directions. I saw Patton run near some bushes and a trash can and I noted as I saw Roman rush towards the back of a cabin. I ran near one of the empty cabins and got on my stomach as I slid under the porch where I laid patiently. After about 2 minutes of silence, I heard slow footsteps against gravel as a slow tune played out in a whistle. It wasn't in a mocking way, like he knew where I was, it was more like the kind of one you would hear from a serial killer, jumping into different areas, slowly inching closer to where their victim was. I held my breath as he calmly tilted his head, bending down slightly near a bush and trashcan.
Wait
I hear a loud scream that makes me jump. I watch silently in horror as Patton dashes off, horrified, as Logan sprints after him with a devilish smirk on his face.
"Patton~"
"NO! NO NO NO NO!" Patton shouted, half laughing nervously and half playfully. I watched as they dashed out of view and ended the video I was filming.
"Holy Shit.." I sent the video to Roman before putting my phone back in my pocket and went back to waiting silently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roman's POV
I heard slow footsteps walk past me and around near the front of the cabin I was hiding behind, a slow serial killer like whistle following.
Logan.
God, I forget how scary he actually is sometimes. The dark sky only made it worse. After about 20 seconds, there's a loud scream.
Patton.
I hear a faint voice,
"Patton~"
"NO! NO NO NO NO!" Patton shouted, running past, Logan chasing behind him.
"What the-" I mumble quietly to myself before I'm interrupted,
Bzt Bzt
I look down at my phone to see a message from Virgil. I open the message to see a video, it was of what I just saw, but, from the front of the cabin.
That's where Virgil must be.
I take a mental note of that and then pocket my phone, the video still giving me shivers. I look around until I see a small crack, an opening in the back of the cabin leading under the porch. I look down at my clothes and whine slightly before going on my stomach and sliding underneath the porch. I look back down at my clothes once I sit up in my knees to see some dirt on my jacket.
"Damn it!" I mutter, attempting to wipe most of it off for now. After I finish with that, I look around to see complete and udder darkness. I pull out my phone again and turn on the flashlight. I aim it around for a while until I spot a faint figure. I turn my flashlight down and start navigating my way towards it. When I reach it, I put my hand over their mouth and whisper in their ear,
"Boo!" I watched as Virgil jumps and wisps around, calming as he sees me. The calmer expression soon turns to anger and he smacks my arm.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! You almost gave me a heart attack!" He whisper yelled. I give a small chuckle.
"Sorry Vee, Glad it's you and not some random Hobo though." He stares at me, puzzled, before bursting into laughter.
"What the fuck even?" I smile at the boy in front of me.
God I love him
WAIT
WHAT AM I THINKING?! I DON'T LOVE HIM! I DON'T EVEN LIKE HIM!
Do I?..
"Hey? Are you okay?" I snap my head up to see Virgil, who had calmed down, starring at me with a slight hint of concern.
"Yup. Yeah. Bingo! I'm great Padre!" I chuckle awkwardly. He raises an unconvinced eyebrow but thankfully shakes it off.
"So, I'm gonna guess you were hiding behind the vent in the back of the cabin?
"I- How do you know that?"
"I saw you run towards the older cabin when we first stared and knew you'd get too freaked out and go at least 2 to 3 cabins down."
Holy-
"That's actually.. Exactly what happened.." He Shrugs with a smirk.
"So, why are you here?" He asked, glancing behind him to see if Patton or Logan were outside.
"Oh, well, I saw the video after I had saw Logan go into the front of the cabin and, so, I pieced together that you were in the front of the cabin, and, so, I wanted to try and scare you. And it worked! Surprisingly.."
He huffed and crossed his arms at the last part and I chuckled.
"Kiddos?" We both turn to see a faint figure.
"Crap."
"Kiddos, you in here?"
"Patton.." Virgil mummers as he looks behind him.
"What are yo-"
"We gotta make a run for it.." He replies before I can finish my sentence.
"What? Why? It's just Patton. He's our Padre!" He turned back around and grabbed my shoulders, looking me dead in the eyes as he spoke.
"Not anymore."
"Wha-"
"You really think he managed to outrun Logan earlier?"
"I-"
"Exactly."
Logan has been on track team for the past 3 years, he's right. There's absolutely no way he out ran him..
"Kiddos?" We turned back around to see Patton's figure inching closer.
"Do you trust me?" He asks, holding his hand out.
"What?" I ask, looking at his hand and then back at him.
"Do you trust me?" He asks again. I hesitate. Even though I know he wouldn't use the reference unless I could actually trust him.
"Yes?.." I grab his hand and he grips it tightly.
"Probably the wrong choice.." He jokes.
"Wha-" Before I can question anything, he's pulling me out from under the cabin and was carrying me behind as we ran towards a group of trees by the outdoor bathrooms and hid behind the building. We were quiet for a little, checking for any sounds.
Nothing
After a while, we begin laughing.
"Thanks for trusting me Princy." He Jokes.
"Thanks for not getting us caught." We laugh and he playfully hits my arm.
"Whatever."
"How long since we started?" I ask. Virgil looks down at his Fitbit.
"Uhm... about 27 minutes.."
"How long 'til they call quiets?"
"I don't know.. knowing Patton, he'll wait about 38 minutes. Logan, however, will wait about 42 minutes."
"Damn..."
"Guess we're gonna be sitting here for a while, huh?"
"Yeah, I'll text the chat and tell them they have to forfeit after an hour."
"Good idea." He sends the text and they agree. We're quiet for a while until Virgil leans over.
"Hey, Ro.."
"Yeah?" He leans closer towards my ear, I can feel his breath, sending shivers down my spine. "I- Uh.." I stutter. He smirks and whispers,
"It's free real estate~" He steps back, my face turns a deeper red.
"I- you littLE SHIT!" I quietly yell. He bursts into a fit of giggles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3rd person POV
About 36 minutes had passed, Patton had walked by a couple of times, refusing to go near the bathrooms however, scared he'd find a spider. It was currently just Roman playing on his phone and Virgil looking over his shoulder. After a couple of moments of silence as Virgil stares blankly at Roman's screen, he speaks in a monotone voice,
"All of the birds died in 1986 due to Reagan, killing them, and replacing them with spies that are now watching us. The birds work for the bourgeoisie.." Roman's eyes widen and he slowly turns to Virgil.
"What. The actual. Fuck. Was that?" Virgil shrugged and just continued to stare at Roman's screen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Patton's POV
I look at the time, almost 50 minutes have passed and we still haven't found them! It continued to get darker by the minute, so I decided to pull out my phone and turn on the flashlight.
"Kiddos! C'mon! I don't want to have to keep running!" I whine. Then, my phone dings. I look at the notification,

Mr. J: Then give up.
Dang.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roman's POV
2 minutes left. Holy shit! I didn't think I'd make it this long to be honest.. I see Logan.
Shit.
Virgil sees him too as we both watch him, slowing down as he looks at the bathrooms. He turned to Patton, who was searching an empty cabin behind him.
"Patton, have you searched behind the bathrooms yet?"
"Are there possible spiders in there Logan?"
"I-"
"Mhm, exactly." Patton turned back to the cabin as Me and Virgil tried not to laugh at what he had just said. Logan inched closer to the back of the bathrooms. Me and Virgil began to back up silently until I step on a few leaves covering a twig that snaps.
Fuck.
I see as Logan smirks and steps in front of us.
"There you two are~" He reaches his hand out to tag me when suddenly,
Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep
I turn to see Virgil smirking as he turns the timer off.
"Times up."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was around 11:37 when we all headed back to our cabins. We played 2 more rounds until Patton started yelling at us to get sleep. We had just dropped off Logan and Patton at their cabin, so it was just me and Virgil walking in silence.
"Good game." I finally break the silence.
"Yeah, you too." He responds. I look over at him as he stares at the ground. I didn't notice I was smiling until he stares at me, raising an eyebrow.
"You're doing it again princy~"
"I- uh-uhm-"
"Are you ever gonna tell me why?"
"Nope!"
"Damn." We laugh. We get to the cabin and I unlock the door.
"I'm gonna go get some sle-" we both freeze as I flip on the lights and let out screams. A figure was crawling out from under Virgil's bed and looking through his stuff.
Warning: Slight Gore ahead
The figure looked at us and darted towards us. I grabbed a flashlight by the kitchen and threw it at its head. I fell back a little but kept running at us. I then grabbed a large glass bowl and toss it at his face. Virgil screams as the shards impale his forehead  and blood drips down his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3rd person POV
Roman seemed petrified as the figure fell to the floor, staining the polished wood with blood. He turned to see his best friend shaking, his eyes glossy. He grabbed his hand and angrily lead him out of the cabin.
"W-where are we going? Virgil voice wavered.
"I'm taking you to Patton and Logan's and you are going to stay there until I am sure there is no more of those 'things' in there." Roman Knocked on Patton and Logan's cabin door. A tired Patton Answers the door, rubbing his eyes.
"Kiddos? What's wrong?" Roman explained the situation to him as Logan slowly woke up and tuned into the conversation.
"Oh my god! That's terrible! Come in!" Virgil walked inside as Patton handed him a blanket, wrapping it around his shoulders.
"Virg, try and get some sleep here, I'll go make sure there's no more of those people in there." Logan got up,
"I'll go grab a worker and tell them of the incident." Roman nodded and the two walk out of the cabin,
"Call if you need us." The two nodded and Logan closed the door behind them. Logan headed to the area where they got the keys earlier that day, and Roman headed to the cabin, grabbing a large stick just in case. When he got there, his nose scrunched as he stepped over the hopefully not corpse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a 27 minute search of finding nothing and looking over everything twice, Logan came back with a worker who thanked the two for checking and staying calm. They gave the two refunds on both the cabins and wished them well. Roman packed his and Virgil's stuff, the headed back to Patton and Logan's cabin the grab the others after telling them to pack. When they got there the two were awake and packed. Roman and Logan held the bags as Patton and Virgil stayed close behind them. They all thanked the worker who told them that the police would be questioning them later in the week. As they piled in the car, Virgil huddled closer to Roman than when they first arrived and Patton fell asleep on Logan, who was holding him closely.
Virgil laid his head on Roman's shoulder as they drove off and began to breath softly in his sleep. Roman looked down and smiled at the sleeping boy. He kissed his forehead and whispered,
"God, I love you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Virgil's POV
As I close my eyes, tired, but still mostly awake I hear Roman speak,
"God, I love you."
I freeze. And smile.
