What is up everybody?! Thanks for the support, and sorry for that rant last time. I was having a rough, madly stressful week last week. Sorry. Enjoy Chapter 5. Bit of a warning though, it gets pretty violent...Yeah. And the next virgil chapter i'm working on gets even more so...sorry!
Virgil's head was spinning. Deceit had broken one if the sacred, yet unspoken laws governing the sides-Physical touch. When on purpose, It was basically illegal because, A) It hurt, and B) it could tweak the traits; both sides picking up and passing on attributes. And part B could hurt Thomas.
However, Virgil was a bit more worried about a different governing force-the Sides can't die. The mindscape heals all fatal wounds to ensure that all of Thomas' attributes remained intact. Unfortunately, it only stops the Side from dying, and doesn't heal minor wounds-anything from paper cuts to broken bones-or remove the Trait from the dangerous situation. So Virgil was still trapped, unable to escape from a Side that obviously didn't care about hurting others, and could potentially-
No! Virgil thought, cutting off his frantic mind. Don't focus on what could happen. Focus on getting out of here, especially before he corrupts you.
Suddenly, Virgil heard footsteps drawing near, and he froze, faking unconsciousness.
"Oh Virgil, " Deceit laughed. "You should know that that won't work on me!" The Snake leaned in close, caressing Virgil's face with a gloved hand. "I can tell when people are lying," he whispered menacingly.
Deceit backed up, and Virgil couldn't repress the shiver that went down his spine - Deceit stood in front of him brandishing a baseball bat and smiling fakely. The chair he was tied to disappeared, and Virgil fell to the floor, unable to move. The snake took a step forward, and Virgil curled in on himself, trying to make himself a smaller target.
"Don't worry Virgil," Deceit said, adjusting his grip. "This won't hurt a bit."
Virgil tried not to scream, he really did. But when a baseball bat impacted his ribs at full force, there wasn't much he could do. He heard a sickening crack as his left side exploded in pain. His still sore throat throbbed as his gut-wrenching scream echoed through the dark room. Then it happened again. And again. And again. Soon Virgil was black and blue, his ribs felt like they were on fire, and he couldn't breathe. Deceit finally stopped, laughing breathlessly, and Virgil began coughing. He was choking on his own blood, he was drowning, oh gosh, oh gosh, Virgil's mind was a whirlwind as he struggled to get oxygen. He hacked, his entire form shaking, which in turn caused more pain. Is this what dying feels like? He wondered as black spots danced in his vision. Everything... Hurts…
The last thing Virgil saw before the darkness overtook him was Deceit's laughing snake face as he wiped blood off the bat.
