Worlds Apart

Virgil

Hey everyone, I just want to do a quick note. I want to thank you all for reading this book and supporting it and I would love some feedback about what you all think about it.

Now onto the story!

TW: Mentions of harm (Not self harm)

It's been one year. Feels like more. I've been doing whatever I can to take down King Remus and Janus. No, not King Remus. Just Remus. He doesn't deserve a damn title. He has only gotten worse.

Sometimes I attack parts of the castle and one time I got ambushed. Which is to be expected. I ended up getting a scar on the right side of my face, it starts over the eyebrow and goes down to my cheekbone. I was cut obviously and if it wasn't for Lillian I would have bled out. Unfortunately my eye was cut and now my right eye is useless.

My hair has grown out as well. Its untamed and messy, stopping past my shoulders, my hair covers the right side of my face so no one sees the scar. I have stubble and haven't stayed at any place to sleep or call home. I use magic everyday so I'm sure that Logan feels it. We are still bonded.

I walk down a hillside that is covered with vines, bushes, and trees. I go to a crawlspace, moving the vines and crawling in. After a bit of crawling I come in the more open space that was dug out for the rebellion aganist Remus. The ones that want to fight back for a better life and better future.

I see a familiar red haired girl around my age walk over to me, her name is Scarlett, "Your back. Good. I was beginning to think that the guards had caught you."

"They never will," I reply. "I'm going to do another check around town. Be back before nightfall."

"Are you sure you should go Virgil? It's not safe. Remus is hellbent on getting us. I don't even want to imagine what will happen if he catches one of us." She shudders at the thought.

"I'll be fine." I reply before I set down the bag of food that I had stolen then leave.

I honestly just need some time to think and be alone. I walk to a part of the woods where only animals go. I sit down aganist a tree and sigh heavily.

I miss them. I miss Patton, Emile, Remy, and even that stupid human Roman. But Logan, I miss more than anything in the world. I feel tears sting my eye. Damn it! I've got to get ahold of myself. Logan doesn't need me anymore. I only put his life in danger.

I remove my dark purple cape, revealing my dirty black shirt and black jeans. I haven't have a way to clean my clothes and I had lost my jacket a while back. It's almost winter time and I just know that I'll be freezing my ass off.

I close my eyes and let my thoughts take me away. I remember when I first met those two. Roman and Logan. They captured us not knowing that we exist. I was hot headed but only because I was scared. Now I'm hot headed because I'm mad. I had to give up everything to keep them safe. And they have their own lives.

I know it was wrong to just leave and not even say goodbye to anyone but Logan. But there was no way in hell that I could have said goodbye to Patton.

I growl and grab my head, tears falling down the left side of my face. Remus and Janus will pay. They will get what is coming to them and I will make sure of it. Even if it kills me! (Again.)

I make it back to the underground, Scarlett is at the entrance and by my side in a second.

"You made it back. Thank goodness," she states with a happy smile on her face. Her blue eyes filled with joy.

"Yeah," I reply simply. I gaze over the big room where everyone is laying on the ground and sleeping, a few people sitting up.

Scarlett asks, "Do you have any new plans about attacking the castle? Remus got some new guards and is doing more crazy spells to defend himself. So I was thinking that-"

"I have an idea. I will take care of," I leave once again. The longest I have stayed there is one day, 24 hours.

I hate being stuck in one place. And it's even worse since that place is underground and can cave in at any given time if something happens. My anxiety is still an issue.

I make it to the town, keeping to the shadows. I see some shields and decide that those will be easier to attack than a guard. I start to shapeshift but see red in the corner of my eye. I stop and turn to see Scarlett.

I whisper, "What the hell are you doing here?"

She whispers back, "I'm making sure that you don't do something stupid and get yourself killed."

I sigh and roll my eye, none of the people at the base know that I have already died. Just the people that were there. Remus and Janus also still think I'm dead. I fight with the cape and hood on so I'm not recognizable. I have no intentions of anyone else finding out though.

I shapeshift anyways and attack the castle. Attacking every shield and then every guard that comes after me. I use up a lot of magic and feel like someone is on me. Did something happen to Logan? Did I use so much magic that he was affected? That could be possible.

I'm so distracted by my thoughts that I almost get hit by an attack. Scarlett saved me from getting hit. We quickly run off and back to the base.

Once we get inside Scarlett looks at me, whisper shouting, "What happened back there? You almost got hit!"

I whisper back, "Nothing. I just- It's just-" I start getting really dizzy, "Shit." I mumble before passing out.

I feel someone catch me and shout my name worried.

I wake up, Scarlett by my side with a bucket of water. She let's out a sigh of relief seeing me awake. "I thought I lost you. What happened?"

I don't have answer so I stay quiet.
