I know what you are thinking. "Another update? So soon!? Is RN finally paying attention to this story again?" Yes. I had a good idea for this chapter, and managed to get it done really fast. Again, it is not the longest chapter, but I'm proud of this one. Enjoy.

Virgil woke up to the sound of someone humming near him. He was flat on his back, on a comfortable surface. As he cracked his eyes, he noticed how many blankets were piled on top of him. He was warm, comfortable….

Safe?

Virgil racked his brain, trying to figure out how he got there. He...he'd been captured by Deceit. His old friend….who'd tortured and killed him repeatedly. He remembered the whip and then...nothing.

"Kiddo!" The voice near him had stopped humming. "You're awake!" Virgil's eyes snapped all the way open as he realized who was speaking.

"Patton?"

"I'm so glad you woke up! I was so worried!" Patton wrapped Virgil in a hug, and Virgil melted at the touch. He began crying, thinking back to all the horrors he had experienced, and Patton ran his fingers through Virgil's hair.

"It's okay. You're safe now."

After a few moments, Virgil composed himself. "Where are Logan and Roman?" he asked quietly. He wanted to see the rest of his famILY. Patton's face fell, and he straightened.

"Well kiddo…" Virgil's stomach dropped at his father figure's tone. What was wrong? "They don't want to see you."

Wait. What?

"W-why not?" Virgil asked, voice cracking.

"It has to do with...those." he pointed a finger at a space behind Virgil's head, and Anxiety spun around to view his Wings. They still looked a bit worse for wear, throbbing painfully.

"They say you're a monster," Morality continued. "A freak of nature...Virge why didn't you tell me?" Patton's voice held such hurt that Virgil flinched. He'd betrayed Patton, and now Logan and Roman couldn't even bare to look at him. He was a freak, a monster.

"Dad, I…"

"I thought you trusted me," Patton whispered. His expression hardened. "But I get it. I'll just leave you alone. And don't bother showing up to any more videos. You'd only make everything worse."

And with those harsh words, Patton left the room, leaving a heartbroken Virgil behind. He'd totally screwed this up. He stood shakily, biting back a scream of pain as his wings tweaked. He noticed the someone (probably Patton) had bandaged his body under a loose, black, long sleeved t-shirt and some of his purple patched sweatpants, but ignored his wings.

Because they're disgusting. Virgil almost sobbed. He wished he hadn't been created with wings. That he could normal for once in his miserable existence.

His thoughts were shattered by two sharp knocks on the door. Virgil opened it a crack, but was thrown back as Roman burst into the room, Logan a few steps behind him. Virgil tried to interpret the fiery glare and dissecting stare.

"Demon," Roman called, summoning his sword, "You are no longer welcome in this place. Leave, or you will be moved."

Virgil gasped as the sword was leveled at his chest. He backed up, looking for help from the Logical trait. But Logan just adjusted his glasses.

"You are nothing but a disorder, a disease. Thomas does not need you, and we can do your job for you. Get out."

Virgil ran, wings trailing black and purple feathers as he fled. He couldn't tell where he was going. He just had to get out. He began hyperventilating, eyesight dimming.

He ended up outside, breeze ruffling his feathers as he collapsed. As he blacked out, the scene shifted. Instead of outside, he was surrounded by walls. He looked up to see Landon cackling.

"Ah, that was too much fun."

Bwahahahahaha.
