A/N — FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T SEE ALREADY
I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO MENTION THAT DECEIT'S PART IN THE LAST CHAPTER WAS A FLASHBACK TO WHEN QUINN WAS FIRST TAKEN.  I NEEDED TO DO THAT FOR THIS CHAPTER TO MAKE SENSE BUT I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT IT WAS A FLASHBACK SORRY

TRIGGER WARNING - mention of self harm, slimely snek boi, abuse, blood

Deceit POV
I looked down at my arms in confusion.  About thirty plus cuts were littered down my forearms. 

I'm not a suicidal freak show like Virgil.  Why are there self harm cuts on my arms?

I let out a sigh and flopped backwards onto my bed.  Today's been really confusing.  Everything feels off.

Something tells me that someone is lying to me in some way.  But I can't tell who and about what. 

And it's really starting to piss me off.

I'm Deceit.  Deception.  Lying.  Why can't I figure it out?

"De-Deceit!"  Yelled Corruption from downstairs.  "C-Come here!"

I let out another long sigh.  I really hate Corruption.  He's just a glitchy motherfucker who can't seem to get it through his think skull that he can't defeat the Light Sides.

But than again, I still can't convince myself to just leave Corruption because god knows what he'd do to me.  Guess I'm also an idiot. 

I trudged out of my room and down the stairs.  Corruption was standing next to the couch, tapping his foot on the floor.  Virgil was sitting on the couch, looking blankly at the floor. 

"G-Good to s-see you De-Deceit."  Purred Corruption with a Remus-like grin on his face.

"What do you want?"  I asked, lacing my hands behind my back.  I have my suspicions that it's Corruption that's lying to me, so I'll try to convince him I'm completely loyal so he'll trust me. 

"H-Help me tor-torture the o-other P-Pets?"  He asked, pulling a random hatchet out of his belt. 

"Whatever."  I sighed while rolling my eyes. 

"St-Stay here P-Pet."  Corruption his at Virgil.

"Yes Master."  Virgil answered quickly.  It's honestly disgusting seeing how their "relationship" is playing out. 

Corruption nodded and headed towards his room.  I followed behind quickly. 

"I h-have m-managed to kid-kidnap three P-Pets."  Corruption told me.  I nodded along, too afraid to say anything and mess this up.  This is the first time Corruption has let anyone see any of his other "Pets". 

We entered Corruption's room and headed through a small door.  The tunnel had an odd vibe to it.  It reminded me a lot of the rocks in the Pit.

We eventually came to a larger door.  Corruption pushed it open and stepped into the room.  I followed slowly, unsure of what state his "Pets" would be in.

I was a little shocked to say the least that they seemed to be in fairly well health.  Besides some bruises and cuts.  They were at least in better condition than Virgil.
