Chapter 12: The Duke

Roman and Virgil were in the kitchen when Virgil felt something was off. He looked around and sniffed the air.

'Something's off...' He thought to himself. He looked over at Roman. Roman was busy with something and had his back turned. Virgil padded out of the kitchen and looked around.

Then he felt something whip behind him. He turned just in time to see a pair of hands grabbing him. He tried to call out to Roman, but the person covered Virgil's mouth and sunk down.

Roman turned around and noticed Virgil was gone.

"Virgil?" Roman said as he looked around. "Kitten? Where did you go?"

No response.

Roman panicked and walked out of the kitchen. He looked around but didn't see anything.

"Hello, brother." A voice said. Roman turned and then something hit his head harshly, knocking him out.

Remus laughed a bit and put one foot on Roman's back.

"Now that's how you make a grand entrance..." Remus smirked.

The girl placed Virgil on a pedestal. Virgil hissed at her as the girl used her magic to cast a barrier so Virgil couldn't escape.

"Down, kitty. You might get hurt." She smirked. Virgil growled, then he saw Remus appear, dragging his boyfriend by the arm.

'Roman!' Virgil panicked as he looked at the barrier he was in. "Mew..."

"Oh, don't worry, we won't hurt him. At least... not yet."

Virgil looked at Remus as he set Roman in a chair. Remus cuffed his wrists and ankles to the chair. Virgil mewed quietly.

His boyfriend was unconscious and Virgil couldn't do anything about it. He touched the barrier and felt a shocking sensation flow through his body. He yelped and back away from it.

"Be careful, kitty. Wouldn't want you to get hurt." The girl smirked.

'Just who the heck is she?' Virgil thought. The girl looked at him.

"My name is Circe." She said. Virgil's eyes widened.

'How did she...?'

"I know what anything and anyone is thinking," Circe said. "You're no different."

"Circe, stop talking and get the cage," Remus said.

"On it, your majesty." Circe disappeared and then reappeared with a human-sized cage. She opened the cage door and turned off the barrier. She grabbed Virgil before he could escape and then placed him inside the cage. She closed and locked it. Remus walked over and looked at Virgil. Virgil was looking down.

"Lift the curse," Remus told Circe. Circe nodded and lifted her hands, she waved them and Virgil was back to his human self. Virgil looked at his hands and up at Remus.

"Let Roman go," Virgil said.

"Not a chance, mi querido."

Virgil stood up and clutched the bars of the cage.

"I said to let. Him. Go." Virgil glared at Remus, but Remus smirked and pulled something out.

"Bad idea." Remus tsked and pressed a button. The bars sent an electric shock all throughout Virgil's body, making Virgil push away from them. Virgil held his hands as they both got burned from the electricity. Virgil groaned in pain and his eyes watered.

"Remus, leave Virgil out of it!" A voice yelled. The other three looked over and saw Roman wide awake and struggling to get out of the chair.

Remus scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Shut up, Roman. I need him for my plan."

"What plan?" Roman asked.

"None of your business." Remus waved his hand. 

Then a ninja star flew past Remus' head.

"I think it is!"

(I am so late to get this out...)
