??? POV
What a lively city, no wonder Virgil ran away to life here. With all these simpleton, thinking that society's going to protect them from monsters like me. The monsters that live under your bed or hide in your closet waiting for the perfect moment to strike.... like a snake.

"Oh sorry little girl" a woman says running into me

"I'm okay, can you help me find my big brother?" I ask grabbing on to her shirt

"I can take you to the mall, they have a microphone that the entire block can here" she smiles

Isn't funny how much trust humans put into a appearance, there option changes in the way you look. A cute little girl, looking for hers brother. Who wouldn't go out of there way to help, all it takes is a few clever lies.

The lady leads my to the Center of the mall we're I look across the fountain to see a store...with Virgil sitting at the counter. "Perfect" I whisper letting go of the ladies hand and running behind a pillar. From little girl to edgy teen, I smile

"Young man! The woman from earlier asks pulling on my shirt, "have you seen a little girl?"

"No" I smile "I haven't"

"Okay" she's says running of to ask someone else

I walk across to the store to where I saw Virgil before. Bye the time I enter Virgil's all ready gone, probably in the back. I see an employee with blond curly hair leaving for lunch, "perfect" I smile
Transforming to look just like here. Before enter the room I see a poster on a tack board outside the break room. "An auction, Huh?" I hum. This will be fun.

I walk into the boring break room seeing Virgil sitting on the couch. Hey I mean why not ask him out and make him uncomfortable with the talk of religion, homophobia and a splash of hiding in the closet. Truly one of my best lies yet, her character also seems to be a bit stubborn. So let's mix a bit of that in there.

Virgil's shift eventually ends, so it's the perfect time to see where he lives. I transform back into a teenage boy following him close behind. Virgil's never been good and checking his surroundings, but to days he's awful. He probably more anxious then usual.

Before I know it he tucks into an alley, if I follow him, he'll notice my presents. I run over my option when I notice the building on the right of the alleys fire escape route runs along the alley. And I highly doubt Virgil will check from above.

"There he is" I smile looking down at him from above, "looks like a storms coming" I smile seeing his wings glow, that explains his anxiety.

After a while someone pulls up in a van, "looks like Virgil found a new boy toy"

I notice a small bird sitting on a telephone wire, "perfect" I smile transforming to look just like it.

I follow the van from above to a small apartment building. Once I know Virgil inside I transform in to my original form.

"Let's think I could transform into
a bug or a snake" I hum "who am I kidding being a snake is apart of my brand" I smile

I walk up the stairs of the apartment exploring each floor till I see room seven on floor 3, "well sevens my lucky number" I shrug transforming into a snake to slither under the door.

I find a nook to hide in the wait, I observe how each of Virgil's roommates behave, there personalities traits and some juicy secrets.

I wait till the next day, when I know the rest of his roommates are gone, at take a last minute decision to knock on the door for a more dramatic effect

"It's you" Virgil says falling to the floor.

"Hello Virgil" I smile "it's nice to see you again"
