(Demus) The Truth Hidden in Lies

Strange Behavior

Remus's Point of View

     Deceit hasn't been coming out of his room lately. It was normal at first because it was the holidays and he typically has to work a lot more. Recently though, it should just be everyday work.  I've tried to get him out. Inviting him to movie nights, asking if he wanted to talk, and even just asking if I could come in. NOTHING. HAS. WORKED. I'm starting to become worried for this wasn't like him at all. He may be a complete hermit sometimes but he always excepts invites. 

     I've caught him a few times outside of his room getting something to eat or drink but every time I try to talk to him he either walks away or just pretends he doesn't hear me. THAT isn't like him at all and I mean at all! He always says it's rude to ignore someone and always apologizes when he does! That's when I actually started to become concerned. At first I just thought I was over reacting but now. I KNOW somethings up.

     I came downstairs to find Deceit getting some water from the fridge and I step in front of him so he can't get passed. We move side to side until Deceit stops. It's silent for a moment until Deceit breaks the silence.

     "Can you move so I can go to my room? Or are we just gonna stand here for all eternity?" His voice was so worn and tired. My worry only increased.

     "Why haven't you left your room in months? BESIDES, getting food and water!" I made it a point to myself to not let him be able to talk his way out of this.

     "I-... I um... I-It's not important Remus." He lied. I knew this because when he lies to me he stutters for some reason. I'm not complaining though.

     After going back and fourth for a bit about it. He would keep saying that it wasn't important or it was none of my business and I knew I was pushing it but I have to know what's going on or else I won't be able to help. Eventually he gets worked up to the point of him raising his voice, I probably should've left him alone when this happened for it means he's reaching his limit. But I didn't stop prying because I knew if I did he would eventually let something slip. And he did...
