When Virgil’s eyes snapped opened a pulse of energy burst around the room. The orb on his necklace splintered before shattering. Molly whimpered in surprise at what was happening.
“V-Virgil?” She said concern lacing her voice.
Virgil sat up. Purple electricity sparking around him and arching around the silver cage. Virgil’s power surged, causing a large explosion. The bars of his cage shattering into little pieces. He stood up and stretched. His body was really stiff, but he’d manage. He walked over to Molly’s cage and bent down to look at her.
“S-so I’m guessing you talked to your mom.” She said, shaking slightly.
Virgil chuckled before nodding.
“I should have told you.” Molly said looking down.
“I̞͘t̛̝'͉̀s̰̙͙͒̾͝ ̢̤͚̈́̒͡oḱ̡͍̍å̬y͚͝,̟̮͌̕ Ị̱̑̃ ͙̓ḵ̪̓͠ň͎̮͔͒͆ȯ̜͖͑ŵ͙ ̧̼̺͐̉̿ǹ͍ŏ̻̜̇w̫̄” Virgil’s voice was echoing and booming with power, but it was still kind. “Ļ̜̑̀e͓͂ṭ̨͌͝s ̟̱̈́̃g̡̧͐͝ẹ͋t͢͡ ̦̈͋ͅý̼ou ̣͐o͚͕̰̿̇̋u̜̔t ͇̄o̭̥̐́f͈̊ ̓̌͜͟t͓̤̤̽̆̆h̖͗̆͢e͖͎͉͛́͞r͎͑e.́ͅ ̧̰̀̚Y̪̲̊͝ẹ̃å͎̠̰̑͝h̞͈̃̃?͔͕̈̎”
Molly nodded. Virgil reached out and grabbed the silver bars not even reacting to the touch. He pulled harshly and the whole side of the cage came off. Molly crawled out. Virgil let the purple sparks die away and as soon as he was safe to touch Molly threw herself at him. She wrapped her arms around him and started sobbing.
“I am so sorry. I know I screwed up. I should have just asked for help. I’m so sorry, ''she cried.

Molly pulled away her face a mess with tears. “You did?” Her voice a small squeak.
Virgil’s bright purple eyes softened.

Molly nodded. Virgil stood up and grabbed Molly’s hand and sauntered out of the room. Not bothering to be quiet or subtle. He didn’t need to be.
Molly followed her nose until they came across a locked door. Molly jiggled the handle a minute before Virgil pushed her to the side gently. He picked up his foot and kicked the door open. Three heads shot from their pathetic excuse for beds. Virgil looked at Molly to see her eyes light up.
“Molly!” A small blonde shouted as they jumped up from their cot and ran to Molly engulfing her in her arms.
Molly had tears come to her eyes. As she buried her face into their shoulder. “Your okay!” She said looking at the other two. She pulled away from the tinny blonde and ran to this girl with long brown hair and a round face and jumped tackled them wrapping her legs around her waist. Arms around her neck. “I missed my tree.” She said as the other girl scrambled to regain her balance. Molly looked at the boy with red hair and smiled. “Sorry Ash I am stealing your mate. She is my tree!” Molly said latching on tighter.
“Hey no she’s my mate!” Ash responded with a grumpy look coming to his face.
Molly clung even tighter “She’s my tree!” Molly argued definitely.
The other girl laughed, “I missed my koala.”
The small blonde came over to Molly and pulled on her arm. “Come on Molly! I’m your best friend! And yet you give Zalea all this attention.”
“I hugged you first Xel!” Molly defended herself.
Virgil leaned up against the door frame, an amused smile coming to his face. This was the Molly he remembered. Her light laughter filled the room.
“Is this him?” Xel asked, poking Virgil’s shoulder. She had snuck over while Molly was distracted being pulled off of Zalea by Ash.
Molly nodded, and Xel grinned before spinning onto Virgil, “So here is the thing, Molly likes you, so I like you. But if you ever hurt her or make her upset I will not hesitate to rip you open and tear out your esophagus, because no one and I mean no one hurts my best friend.” Virgil smirked down at this tiny bean of a person was clearly all bark and no bite, but he appreciated their attitude. But they clearly had a small dog attitude. It was like a pomeranian threatening a german shepard.
"Down Xel," Molly said "I don't need a protector. I'm fine."
"But I am your knight in shining armor!” They whined. Molly rolled her eyes.
“Virgil I would like to introduce my friends, the tiny chiwawa is Xel, Don’t worry they are all bark and no bite. They are my best friends. The girl with the brown hair is Zalea and the redhead is her mate Ash '' Virgil nodded to acknowledge them. Then he tilted his head slightly hearing what sounded like Hunter hollar in frustration from the room they were in before.
Virgil smiled at the group his eyes flashing brightly. Electricity crackling around him, “Ś̩ŏ̰ ̙̳̃͡w̄ͅh̲̰͗̀ǫ͍̀̍ wá̠͉͠nt̹̕ş̍ ̨̊to ̳̔h͇͡e̬̽l̖̂p͓̖̅͠ ̖̖̑͐m̺̿e̹̝͗̓̕͜ ̥͚͋̉k̖̒į̥̲̉̊͞l͕͋l͈̠̟͊́͞ Ḧ̬u̺͂n̻̕t̯̃è̡r?̦͉̆̋ ̤̻̒͘̚͜”
