Demus

Chapter 2

Picture not mine. No triggers. Let me know if there is.

Remus POV:

       When I woke up this morning, I felt dizzy, probably from a lack of sleep. I checked the time, 10:13 am. I didn't feel like getting up though, so I rolled over to get more sleep. After about five more minutes, I heard the door open. I look over to see Deceit. What's he doing here?
"Morning Remus, just came in to remind you that we're going to the light sides tonight." He said.
"Wonderful..." I grumbled.
"What was that Remus?"
"Nothing, I'll get up now."

       As soon as he left I got up and got dressed in my usual regal attire (from the intrusive thoughts episode) and did my makeup as usual. I kept trying to figure out why the light sides had invited us over. Didn't they think we were the bad guys? They had made it clear that they didn't like us... So why were we coming over? I mean, I didn't really care. Nor did I want to go, I was just curious.

          I walked downstairs to see Deceit at the stove. He probably heard me because he looked my way and smiled.
"Morning Remus."
"Morning Dee..."
It went silent for a moment as I took a seat at the table. He set down some pancakes and sat down across from me.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Fine." I lied. He looked at me for a second.
"You're lying." He said.
"So?" I shrugged. He sighed.
"I want to make sure you're okay."
"I am okay."
"No, you aren't."
"Whatever. I'm going upstairs. Come get me when it's time to go." I said and made my way upstairs. I didn't eat. I wasn't hungry anyway.

         I looked out the window in my room and saw the rest of the mindscape. It had a very dark aesthetic considering it being the darksides part of the mind. You never really saw any of the other darksides, though.
   
        You could see this side of the mindscape was usually nighttime. But the stars were always out. The trees never had leaves and the grass was always wet. The extra things included a graveyard which consisted of fake skeletons and coffins and graves scattered around it. In another part of the mindscape, was a barn. It was painted the untraditional grey, and inside was a bunch of disturbing imaginary creatures Roman had filed away from Thomas to 'protect him'. That was how he phrased it anyway.
    
         The mindscape was also suit for Deceit as well. It had a courthouse and a bunch of other things like a library. The courthouse had an eerie shadow in it but still everything needed to function. And the library was pretty big, and had an entire section filled with books about lying.

          I looked out farther into the mindscape and saw the line separating the good and bad parts of Thomas's mind from each other. I didn't know much about that half of the mind. All I really knew was that it was supposed to be the opposite.
When I thought about it, I was kinda sad. If it was the opposite of our home, than did that mean they never got to see the stars in Thomas's mind? And we never got to see the sun? The very thought made me sad.

        I kept imagining stories in my head and wondering what the other side was like. I got so caught up in my imagination, I didn't even realize how much time had past.

Deceit POV:

        After breakfast, Remus stormed upstairs. I sighed to myself and tried to imagine why he had been acting so sad lately. I just didn't understand it. He hadn't been his normal cheerful self since the encounter with Thomas and the light sides. I kept wondering what had happened to make him so upset. I hated seeing him like this. He had an affect on me. Whenever he wasn't happy, the air lost its peppy energy that he had always brought. He hadn't even eaten.

************
       I knocked on Remus's door. After I didn't get an answer, I opened it myself. I looked inside to see Remus standing at the window.
"Remus?" I said stepping into the room. He didn't seem to notice me so I tapped his shoulder. He spun around to face me.
"What?" He asked. He probably forgot what time it was.
"It's time to go." I said. He mumbled something along the lines of 'alright' and walked out with me. When we got to the end of the dark sides mindscape, we stopped.
"Dee?"
"Yes?"
"What do you think it's like on that side?"
"I don't know."
We shared one final glance before stepping across the border and into the new mysterious part of the mind. Remus had always talked to me about what he thought it was like. And I was hoping this would bring him into a better mood.
