Thank you.It was a beautiful day today. No cloud in the sky to be seen, and the sun was shining brightly. Logan, Patton and Roman were all hanging out by the mall, having fun. Patton was enjoying his chocolate chip and mint ice cream while Roman and Logan were discussing a 'scary story' Roman had told the group
"I'm telling you! That place is haunted!" Roman said.
Roman was a guy that really liked scary stories and such. They really pumped him up with energy. You could day that he was a fan of the supernatural
Logan sighed "Roman it is very unlikely that ghosts actually exist. Perhaps what you heard were other people playing around"
"No it wasn't! And what about-"
"The guy with a snake eye? Roman are you hearing yourself? That is impossible!"
"Then let's go there! I'll prove that, that abandoned factory is haunted!" Roman shouted
Patton turned to him "oooooh! An exploration? I'm in!" He said happily
Logan sighed and rolled his eyes "fine. fine. Let's go to that stupid factory."
Later, in the abandoned factory
Roman was leading the group, his posture showing that he was very confident
Logan followed closely behind, looking around the abandoned working area.
Patton was holding on to Logan. He had been ever since he saw a spider near the last door.
Logan put his hand on Roman's shoulder to stop him "Roman."
Roman turned to him "what? Afraid to go beyond this door?" he teased
"yes and i have quite a few reasons!" he said and pointed at the floor
blood
blood everywhere. Dry blood and still liquid blood. splattered across the floorPatton held on to Logan tighter "l-l-let's go home!"
Roman rolled his eyes "oh come on stop behind scaredy cats-"
From the other side of the door, the 3 friends heard a groan, then some chains
Roman smirked "Told you so. Now let's see the ghost so i can finnaly prove you wrong!" Roman kicked the door open and froze. Well they all did. What they sawsaw on the other side was no ghost. It was a boy, chained up to the wall. He was covered in scars,cuts and bruises. He looked up as he heard the door "master? Is it you?" The boy asked in a monotone voice
Patton let go of Logan and ran to the boy, his fatherly instincts kicking in "N-no master here." he looked back at Roman and Logan "what are you waiting for? help me unchain him!"
Logan and Roman looked at one another before walking over to the chained up boy
A while after, they had finnaly managed to release the boy
"we gotta get him home and treat him up- what's your name kiddo?" Patton asked
Virgil looked at Patton, his eyes were dull which sent a shiver down Patton's spine. The boy lifted up his sleeve and read out "0045"
Patton tilted his head "n-no kiddo what do they call you?"
"Ragdoll. My property. Servant. And Virgil sometimes."
Patton looked back at Logan and patton, not knowing what to say. They opened their mouths to speak but Virgil interrupted them "I'm sorry but its getting late. Master will be back soon for playtime. I don't want strangers playing with him. He can be a bit brutal."
Patton picked Virgil up "We are taking him home. Let's go before master comes back" he spat. The others nodded and they all ran back home, Virgil looking at the ground the entire way there
Later that day
The sun was setting by the time they got to their apartment. Patton set Virgil down on the couch carefully "I'm gonna go fetch a shirt for him or something. He must be freezing" Patton entered his room and started going through his clothes
Logan and Roman sat down "so...virgil?" Roman asked
Virgil looked at him "you can call me whatever you want mast-"
Roman put his hand over virgil's mouth "No. No master. My name is Roman." he said and sat back down
Virgil stood up and bowed down "My apologies Roman, sir. Please get your weapon. I must be punished for my stupidity"
"woah woah! We don't have weapons!" Logan interrupted. Virgil looked up at him "Then how do you punish your servants?"
Logan looked at him then at Roman with a 'what do we do?' look
Roman understood what Logan was trying to say. He placed his hand on Virgil's shoulder. You aren't a servant you a punching bag or whatever. You're a part of the family!" He said happily
Virgil looked at him "family?" He muttered as tears started running down his face
Roman yelped "h-hey don't cry!"
Virgil looked at his feet, his heartbeat becoming fast
Roman looked at logan before picking Virgil up and setting him down on his lap "sshhhh i-its okay its okay-" Patton came back, holding a black and purple hoodie. "what happened?"
"i-i think he's having a panic attack-" Patton sat down next to him and hugged him "Virgil. come on..breath slowly. Everything is alright"
a few minutes later
Virgil fell asleep on Roman's lap. Roman sighed "okay..well that got me worried. We should tend to his wounds." he said
Logan nodded "i will get the bandages. Check hin for any broken bones and such. I won't take long." he said and walked to the bathroom to get bandages and suchsuch
Patton lifted up t shirt. It was pretty dirty and had some blood stains. He gasped a little as he saw a big scar that went from the start of his neck to his hips. Roman frowned and pointed at a scar that looked like a weird symbol "I've seen this somewhere." he said. Logan came back shortly after and agreed with Roman "i could do some research tomorrow. But for now we should let Virgil rest." Logan said. Patton covered up his strange dark son with a warm blankets and they all went back to their rooms
