Runaway of the stars

Chapter 44

(The aliens are speaking English but Roman doesn't understand it)

Virgil and Roman were on the couch watching the labyrinth when they heard a crash outside,they locked eyes"is that them?"Virgil nodded and stood up"c'mon,we gotta make a good impression."

Virgil went out the door with Roman and Patton following"are you sure it's safe,Virge?"Roman asked,Virgil looked over his shoulder at Roman"trust me."

Virgil pushed away some bushes and saw a ship"there it is.."Virgil jumped floating down as the ever so graceful Roman and Patton tumbled down the hill.

"Are you ok?"Virgil said stifling a laugh as he helped Roman up"yeah,let's get back to business."the ship did some noises and in English said"is this your language?"Roman nodded"yes."

"Count down to self destruct in-"it cut off and a door opened as a little staircase opened up"ah god there's smoke everywhere."some said with a cough as they walked out.

They wore a helmet and suit similar to Virgil's,Virgil and the alien locked eyes.

"Virgil?"another alien poked out his head"Virgil!"another said"how many came after you-"Roman was cut off as one of the aliens shot forward and put him in a head lock.

"Hey,hey!watch it!"Roman muttered out"back off!!"Virgil roared making the alien stare at Virgil in fear,Roman scrambled away and hid behind Virgil with Patton.

"Virgil that thing could hurt you!"another alien said"wait,you called me Virgil?"the aliens nodded"do we need to take these off?"Virgil nodded as Roman was in complete confusion of what they were saying.

The grown up alien sighed and took it off,his hazel eyes looking at the scenery and back to Virgil"Thomas!"Virgil yelped as he hugged his friend.

The other aliens took off their helmets to reveal Janus and Remus"you guys came too!?"Janus nodded"this is the council's punishment for us letting you access a pod."he grumbled.

"And we're going home."Thomas said taking Virgil's hand"hey wait!"Roman spoke up,the aliens tilted their heads at Roman"what is this alien saying?"Remus asked"don't look at me."Janus mumbled.

"I'll translate."Virgil said as he got away from Thomas"they're listening,Roman."Roman nodded and looked to them"Virgil was born to the life of a prince,I guess to some that would be a gift."

Virgil repeated his statement"but that's not how Virgil wants to live,he wants his old life where he didn't need to dress up and make decisions like a little doll."

Thomas crossed his arms as he listened"so I at least ask of you to stay so we can reason,peace?"Roman held up a peace sign"is he summoning a devil!?"Remus asked"no he wants peace you dumbass!"Virgil groaned.

Thomas looked to Remus and Janus then to Virgil with a small nod"we'll bring you to my house,without your helmets this smoke messes with you."Roman decided as he turned to lead them away.

Thomas put a hand on Virgil's shoulder"are you sure you understand this alien?"Virgil nodded"he's like a friend..."he looked back at Roman walking away"but more.."
