Absolutely Bitten (Sanders sides vampire au)

Chapter 8: Roman

"Sir I promise I haven't told anyone, I-I would never." I say, a little weak in the knees thank to my nerves. It almost feels like when you know it's almost your cue and you get that little bit of nervousness, times a hundred.
"How am I supposed to trust you!?" He yells, I hope Virge doesn't see this. I go quiet.
"W-Well why would I?" I curse myself for stuttering.
"Because you're no different to the rest of them." He growls.
"Honey that's enough." Says the petite woman from the corner of the room, who I recognise to be as Virgil's mother. She puts a hand on her husband shoulder but he shakes her off. 
"You may except Virgil for who he is, but I'll never except you for who you are." How dare he speak like he owns him, like if he doesn't like something everyone has to change for him. Just who does this guy think he is? And who the hell does he think I am? "If I'd known it was you sooner I would've hunted you down before you could get to my son." What on Earth is he talking about? Whatever it is he's angry, and he doesn't seem to be calming down anytime sooner. "I want you nowhere near my son, you hear? You stay away from him!" I nod nervously, why am I so afraid of this guy? "Good, now if you know what's good for you you'll do as I say, if you don't or god forbid if you tell Virgil what happened here you're dead, got it?" I nod again. "Now get out of my sight." He hisses lowly and shows me out before slamming the door behind me. I walk home completely stumped, he wants me to stay away from Virgil why? I can't talk to him at all, all because he doesn't like me for some reason. I mean who could you ever hate me right? Either way I'm dead, it's not like I can just never talk to him again but... I have to. Well shit.

I get into bed that night, I'm dreading tomorrow morning. What am I supposed to do just not talk to him out of fear, no I won't do it. I refuse to, I could never do that to him and I won't. Those vampires are probably just bluffing anyway, they wouldn't dare touch me, would they? I text Deceit again.

Deceit u don't scare me ya know
I'm gonna see Virgil whenever the hell I want and u can't stop me
Nor can his Dad
Alright then have it your way

I will, I start getting ready to leave and open up the door and there he is. Deceit stares me dead in the eyes and whispers "You will not look at or communicate with Virgil, is that clear?" He hisses, his eyes are now glowing red and although I don't want to I find myself nodding in response. He then smirks and says "Good." In a low, menacing voice and then he was gone. I'm walking to school trapped inside my own head, I'm not in control of my own body I'm just walking completely numb. What did that son of a bitch do to me? I get into school and I'm finally starting to feel in control again, I start up a conversation with Logan and Patton. I'm dreading Virgil's arrival, which is highly unusual. As he steps into sight I feel that numbness take over again. "Hey guys." He says as he reaches for my hand, my whole body lurches away from him. Shit, gotta make a quick excuse aaahhhh....
"I have to go to the bathroom, brb." I dash down the hallway and duck into one of the bathroom stalls. What is happening to me?

I've never been happier to here the final bell, I can just go home and never leave. Coward. Or I could make up some sort of excuse. Scaredy-cat. Say I just wasn't feeling well. Pussy. Alright brain you win, I'll tell him the truth. He's probably worried sick, or worse he's pissed at me. In fairness I'm pissed at me too, he deserves an explanation. I walk way ahead of Virgil and the others and wait for him in the alleyway he passes to get home. He always passes this way and it's the only private place I can think of right now. I fear they may be watching me, fuck fear it sucks. All it's doing is holding me back. I go to slam my fist at the wall. It's also the only thing keeping me safe. I put my arm back down at my side and wait for Virgil with my back up against the wall. Then I see him approaching the alleyway, as he passes I pull him by the arm into the alleyway with me.
"Roman?" He says in surprise, I panic and cover his mouth.
"Ssshhhh..." I take my hand away and I can feel the stream of questions I'm about to be hit with.
"What is up with you? You've been avoiding me all day." He's speaking near to a whisper now.
"I know Storm Cloud, I'm sorry." He rolls his eyes, visibly pissed.
"I want an explanation." He says scowling. I sigh, fear is the only thing keeping me safe right now...
"Virgil I can't really give you one."
"Why?"
"Because it'd put us in danger."
"How?"
"I can't tell you." I place a hand on his cheek and sigh sadly before kissing him. "I'm sorry Virgil, I'll explain when it's safe." He looks past me at the ground. "I don't wanna do this ya know?"
"But what even is this?"
"I told you I can't tell you." I'm frustrated now, not with him but with myself for not being able to do anything. "But for the safety of us both, I just have to stay away from you."
"...."
"I love you Virgil."
"I-I love you too..." I lift his attention from the ground to myself and kiss him lightly.
"You should home, the sun's setting. I don't want you to get burnt."
"Okay."
"Bye."
"Bye." I watch him walk off home, and I see a small, black cat follow after him...
