Trip Down Memory Lane

Go Fetch chapter 12

Deceit's POV

Just to let you know, Elliott is what I call the orange side. He isnt that important to the story, I wont ever clarify his trait. This isn't anything, but a way to include all the ¨dark sides¨ into Virgil's past, even though we dont know who he is yet. Just thought I would let you know. Thank you!

I look down at the list as I leave the room, going right to Virgil room as that is where everything on the list is. I stop in front of the door, trying to remember the last time I came in here. Virgil was only in his teens. I took a deep breath, making my stomach shake, and opened the door.

     The cold from the room hit me like a brick, making me shiver before I wrapped my cape around me even tighter. There dark side of the mind was cold, but it was almost disturbing to feel how freezing it was in his room. With the sides, their emotions usually connect to how cold or warm there room is. I started thinking... Patton's room was at 75 degrees. Was he okay? Sadly no, I saw him jump, he saw me look down on him. As much as it will take me to come to terms with it, I watched him. I know he is dead.

     The first thing on his list where thing from Virgil's bed. I was supposed to grad his blanket, his pillow, and his stuffed giraffe. I walked over to his bed, to distressed to notice anything. I grabbed a pillow with some embroidering from Logan. Supposedly the pillow that Logan told me to get Virgil he got him for Christmas with calming scents and sounds that blow softly through the surface.  

     The pillow was one thing, but the blanket and stuffed animal where the things to catch me off guard. I was told to grab his baby blanket. His baby blanket was still the one I made him when I found Virgil. In the dark side of the mind, we don't have much heat or blankets so I made him a blanket from my first cape. I have had that cape since I first appeared, but I sewed it into a blanket for Virgil. Then there was his stuffed giraffe. I also made that for him. Virgil always was too scared to go to sleep alone, but as the ¨parental figure¨ of the dark side of the mind, I knew that having a kid get used to sleeping with an adult is unhealthy, so I risked my being to get him that. 

     Roman and Virgil where both around the age of 4 at the time. Roman had too big of a heap of stuffed toys, animal or otherwise. In his pile, what was on the surface was usually what he played with the most, and the ones in the back he rarely looked at. So, I reached all the way into the back corner and found a flimsy giraffe. There was multiple stitching flaws with it, but I knew it was perfect. I fixed it up and gave it to Virgil has a birthday gift. He stopped sleeping with me, but he was never able to sleep without the darn thing ever since. I had no idea what so ever that he still needed it, even to this day.

     I grabbed the three items and looked back at the list. It said to go over to Virgil's desk and grab a purple and blue music box. I went over to the box and looked at it closely. I wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything dangerous in it, just in case, so I opened it up. Inside was two different sections with Polaroid pictures. One side had pictures of Thomas and Thomas' friends, the other side had pictures of Virgil and his friends. Right onto was a picture of Virgil, Patton, Logan, and Roman  counting down for the new year, you could SO tell that Virgil and Roman where smashed. 

     I kept looking through the stacks of pictures to find at the bottom that there was still some older pictures of Virgil, Remus, Elliott and me. It was the new years party from 2011. Remus and Valentine where smashed. Remus was usually always drunk one way or another, but I remember everyone being filled with shock that night because Elliott was drinking. He was usually the most ¨good¨ out of the four of us, we couldn't imagine him even going near the boos until that night. 

     I look up, tear starting to fill my vision once again as I remember why I was even in her. Staying  in Virgil's room was probably not the best idea for now. Thomas does not need the strong erg to  lie and deny things, right when Virgil is almost on the brink of dying after his morality died. There was only a couple more things on the list, so I needed to hurry. I had to rush to the bathroom and drab the ice pack left sitting in there. This is something Logan created Virgil. He would always get long lasting head aches back when Thomas was really starting his YouTube career. He made a Never-Not-Chill ice pack, since the cold always died down within 30 minutes of using a regular ice pack.

     The only reason I knew all of this back story is because Roman always had to know about everything going on. Roman and Remus are connected so Remus knew and relayed the information to me. Where I had the option to ruin his life with it, help him, or pretend like I didn't even know. I often went with the last option.

    I took my hat and place the smaller items in it and carried the bigger things in between my arms. I walked back to the room as fast as I could without dropping a single thing out of my arms. I made it to the door and opened the door as swiftly as I could without making too much noise or movement to disturb Virgil. He seemed to be asleep. He was still and his breathing, though not back to normal, was a lot better than what it was when I left. The only downside is that he was glitching so much that you can qualify looking at him as a seizure warning.

     I placed the items next to Logan and he pulled me close to whisper to me so we didn't disturb him. ¨It seems Virgil himself has calmed down, but something still has not calmed down within anxiety which is causing him to glitch. Thank you for your help today, Deceit. But, because Virgil gets anxious whenever you show up, it would be best if you left. I can see if Virgil wants to talk to you or see you after we make sure he is alright, but for now, it might be best for his well being if you where not around.¨ 

     That statement packed a punch, emotionally throwing me back for a second, but I understood completely. I nodded my head, tipped my hat, and walked out the door with a single blood stream leaving my eye.
