Chapter 1
Fuck you Dee. You ruined my life. It was all perfect. I was happy. How did I get here? Dee?. No this is his fault. Or yours for trusting him.

Ten years earlier.

Dear journal,

I blinked my eyes as the rest of my pale body faded into existence. I was wearing a black hoodie with grey stripes and black ripped jeans. There was a sticky substance on my face and my hair was in my eyes. I looked up and saw a figure approach my newly formed body. He had a black cloak and yellow gloves. When he got closer I saw his face. One side looked like a human's and the other side had scales all over it. On his cheek there was a thin pink scar and his eye was yellow and looked like a snake's. He reached his hand down to me and I grabbed it hesitantly.

"W-who a-a-a-are y-yo-you" I stuttered out. I couldn't form the words in my mouth and it came out all jumbled. If this is how I talked all the time things were about to get really frustrating for me.

"My name is deceit but you may call me Dolin. What is your name and trait". Dolin asked. After he helped me stand up from my spot on the ground.

"M-m-m-my n-na-name is Virgil a-and m-my -t-tr-trait is a-anxiety" this is annoying. Virgil, hmmm I kinda like it, it's edgy and cool.

"Welcome to the dark sides Virgil," he said as we walked to a small dark house in the distance. The world around me suddenly looked less vibrant and darker for some reason. There was a grassy field all around us and there was another house I could see it had white paint and a small patio but it was blurry almost as if there was a border keeping me from really seeing it. At the house I could see three blurry figures watching us. One was a small blue and grey blob another was black and the final one was white and red. All of a sudden they came into focus but only for a split second. I saw the red and white man staring right at me. Then it went blurry again. Dolin pulled my hand and we took off for the dark house. This one looked a lot less inviting then the White one I saw beyond the blurry border. The house had a small worn down shed next to it and the paint was peeling right off the walls. The windows were boarded up with wood planks and the door didn't have a handle on it. 'This is disgusting' I think as Dolin pushes on the door. It opens without any resistance. Inside is even worse than the exterior. The walls are yellow green and purple with black speckles that don't go with anything. The furniture consists of a dark brown couch with tears in it and a tv that is shattered. I don't see a kitchen at all 'where does he get his food'. I hear a shrill scream from the upstairs of the house and then a man dressed in black with a green sash comes running down the stairs right into me. He knocks me to the floor and my hand lands directly on a nail that is sticking out of the floorboard. A sticky red liquid starts dripping from where the nail impacted my skin.

"D-d-d-d-do-Dolin I-I th-think t-that I m-may b-b-b-b-be injured" I say as the man with the green sash helps me stand up. This stutter is really frustrating me. The blood from my hand starts to drip faster. I start to feel a little bit dizzy and I fall back into Dolin. He brings me over to the ruined couch and the man with the green sash goes off to find a bandage for me. After a while he comes back and hands the bandage to Dolin who then wraps it around my hand. The red starts to bleed through the fabric and then it slows down until it stops altogether. Then they both sand up and the. Pull me up from my spot on the couch.

"Your fine let's go see your room, Remus has it shown up yet" Dolin ashes as we all walk upstairs.

"Yeah it showed up right before you two got here that's why I was running down the stairs like a serial killer in a slasher film" says rather one in the green sash. 'Remus' I don't really like his way of saying he ran down the stairs like a crazy person. He seems like a nut job who is gonna stab me in the eye if I look at him the wrong way.

As we walk upstairs the house seems to get darker and darker until it is devoid of all color. There are three doors in the hallway. One with two yellow snake heads that connect to one body. The other one had a green symbol with a sword in the middle. The last one had a purple storm cloud with a small grey lighting bolt shooting out of it. I am guessing the yellow one is Dolin's, the green one is Remus' and the last one is mine. I like it, nice and simple, nothing too flashy. All of a sudden my black door turns white for just a split second and the other two men freeze next to me.

"W-w-why d-d-d-d-did it d-d-d-do that?" I ask as the door turns back to black. The two men look at each other and stay frozen in the middle of the dark hallway.

"Virgil, are you sure that you are anxiety?" Dolin askes as we continue to move down the hallway to my room.

"Y-y-yes I a-a-am s-sure"I hate my stutter and my voice. It's quiet and scratchy. Like I have been talking for hours on end without a break. I should stop talking altogether if it is going to be this frustrating all of the time.

"Ok just checking" we continue to walk down the hallway that seems to last forever until we get to my door. Then I hear music playing all around me. Remus and Dolin look at each other and start laughing.

"W-w-what's so f-f-f-funny"

"Well Virgil, can I call you Vee?"I nod. "Sometimes Thomas,our host gets a song stuck in his head then it starts playing. Or the light sides use the song to communicate is easier than using words. You can sing along if you want but it just cracks us up because it is whiny theater music." I nod my head as he explains. I open the door to my room and gasp. 'It's perfect' the walls are black and there is a full size bed with purple sheets on it. On the walls there are band posters that I recognize despite only existing for a solid hour and a half. There are a bunch of purple and black hoodies on a rack in the corner of the room. Then the room glitches again and everything turns light. All of the dark purple turns lavender and the black turns to white. Dolin looks me dead in the eye and walks towards me.

"What are you playing at, light side?" he spits out the word light side like poison.

"I d-d-d-don't know w-w-w-what your talking a-a-a-a-about"I say. Then Dolin backs me up into the wall and pushes me up against it. His hand is on the collar of my ripped purple shirt and lifts my feet off the ground.

"You're no longer allowed out of your room without supervision from me or Remus, you will not sleep,eat, talk or even exist without our say so. Am. I. Clear." At this point I have no idea what is going on but I am absolutely terrified of what will happen if I say no. I nod my head and he drops me to the floor then he kicks me in the stomach. Remus spits at me then walks out leaving me alone with Dolin. He looks at me with disgust then follows Remus out. I hear my door lock but I don't have enough strength to sand and see if it is really locked. I stay there on the floor for a while and I hear Dolin and Remus arguing down the hall no doubt about me. I slowly stand up and feel a sharp pain in my rib cage. I think one of my ribs is broken. I stand up and walk to my bed then I lay down and the water works come flooding out. I hear banging on my door. Dolin!

"Shut up light side" the voice wasn't like Dolin's Remus!! It must be him. I use a pillow to muffle my cry's. I have only existed for a day but I already don't want to be here.
