4am

Part 20.

Roman's POV

The past hour has been horrible. The majority of it were filled with screaming and blood, but then the police came. Snake face had unchained Anxiety, cleaned up the blood, set him against the far wall and then called the police.

When they arrived they cuffed an unconscious Anxiety and released us from our cell. We tried to tell them that he was framed but what we said and what came out were two different things.

He's innocent! "He locked us in there!"
He was being tortured! "He tried to kill us!"
He's was forced to do it! "He's a heartless monster!"

Anxiety couldn't even defend himself he was to weak. After he had broken the chains, he attacked snake face but was surrounded by the shadows. He was beaten into submission before being chained up again. Logan, Patton, and I were sent home which leads us up to now.

"'My name is Anxiety and for the past year I have been murdering one of you each night. I did this on my own free will and deserve to be punished for my crimes.' This was the recording from earlier today when Virgil Storm AKA Anxiety fessed up to his crimes. He admitted to the murder of Taylor Smitt and his daughter as well as several other cases that no one knew of. His trial will be scheduled for tomorrow night."

I turned off the TV and faced the other two, "What are we going to do? We can't just let him die!" Logan looked at me solemnly. "While it pains me to say this, but I do believe that there is nothing we can do. Deceit showing us Virgil's memories can not be any use to us simply because it doesn't matter if he was forced to kill. He did it and now he must except it."

"LOGAN, how could you say that! Virgil is my son and I'm going to get him back! I can't loose him, not again." Patton's voice grew weak as he stared to cry. Me and Logan argued back in forth about what to do for almost four hours. "So you're just going to let him die?!? I can't loose him, not after just getting him back!" "We lost Virgil long before our memories got wiped! You read the reports, even the scientist knew that we didn't like him! We pushed him away, so he was taken away. The only people we have to blame is ourselves."

The room was so quiet, you could probably hear a piece of hair fall. "Arguing won't do us any good, let's go to bed and try and think of something tomorrow." Logan and I nodded and I stomped up to my room. I slammed my door and then face planted into my bed. Please be okay Anxiety, I need you.

Virgil's POV

I walked into the courtroom with my head hung low. I was sat in a chair but I didn't lift my head, I just drowned out all the noise around me.

"He locked us in there! He tried to kill us! He's a heartless monster!" My head snapped up at the sound of Princey's voice. An officer was playing a recording and explaining something. I stood up and the room went silent.

"I claim guilty of all charges." The room filled with gasps and murmurs. The judge banged his gravel on the wooden desk.

"Virgil Storm, by the power infested in me I proclaim you guilty of all charges and sentenced to death."
