Secrets | Sanders Sides

Exhausted

Virgil pov:

I woke up this morning feeling horrible and I knew exactly why.

Because I was a dark side.

You know how Deceit is half snake and Remus has some weird connection with an octopus, well yeah.

It's because they're dark sides.

You see, when a dark side reaches a certain point in their life where they have been a part of Thomas for 18 years, they receive an animal trait.

Obviously I am the youngest of the sides so I am getting mine very late in Thomas' life.

And guess what!
Lucky me is turning 18 today!
Woohoo!

The worst part is that Thomas told us the other day that today we have a filming session and me being an idiot didn't realise that it was planned for the same day as when I turn 18 and it's too late to turn back now.

Another thing is that I have a headache and a horrendous pain in my back which tells me that this new 'feature' of mine will be ludicrously hard to hide from the others.

What? You thought I was going to tell them about me being a freak?
Ha!
As if.

Although, knowing Logan, he may have done research or something and will try and bring it up

Yay, can't wait for that conversation!

Anyway, I better get out of bed and put my hoodie on at least as I can already feel the pull of someone trying to summon me.

You know what.
Screw it, I'm gonna just throw a blanket over myself as I am too tired to get out of my pajamas or do my hair.

Appearing, I see that Roman, Patton and Logan are already there along with Thomas.

Immediately, Roman looks at me and yelps, saying "what in the name of Disney is your face, Virgil!?"

Too tired to come up with something snarky or sarcastic to reply with, I just groan and sink further into my fluffy, gray blanket.

Patton looks at me with a concerned yet bewildered expression on his face and asks "kiddo! What's wrong? You look exhausted!"

"Nothing's wrong Patton, I'm just a bit tired is all." I reply, followed by a yawn.

Thomas sighs and says "Virgil, if you're not feeling too well then just say and I can move the filming date forward."

I don't want to be a burden so I say "no no. It's fine, I can do it."

Logan then looks at me with disbelief plastered all over his face and a hint of sympathy in his eyes and says "Virgil, you look exhausted. You really should get some sleep."

"But I-" Princey interrupts me by exclaiming "Nope Nope Nopety Nope Nope! You, emo-nightmare, need sleep. Now, Go! To! Bed!"

"Ugh, fine!" I say but secretly I'm grateful that I don't have to do this, I am so tired and almost everything hurts at this point.

So I leave and reappear in my bed as I am too tired to even take a couple more steps.

As soon as I closed my eyes I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
