"D̶̪̐͛͜E̶̛̳̪̒̏ͅC̷̡̤̑̄́Ë̶̹̩́̈́I̵͖̬̠̽T̴̨͈̈́̇!̷̳̀" I ran after him looking through every room I could but nothing. I could hear him laughing. Him... Or was it me. 

"Over here, Virgil!" I spun around and spotted him just as he started down this flight of stairs. I screamed out with my demonic sounding voice and followed after. He was clearly leading me somewhere but I was too lost in the voices screaming at me to notice that he had lead me back into the basement tunnels. I stopped and narrowed my eyes. I reached out placing a hand to the stone wall and watched as these cracks slowly appeared, like magma through the rocks of a volcano. It spread and spread as Deceit slowly disappeared into the dark. Don't worry Virge. It's a game of life and death... not chase. 

Virgil wants him dead... he'll die... Regardless of how long he can run he can't run forever.

I laughed as my body started to twitch, my mind slowly getting muddier. I was falling farther and farther into the grip of insanity.

F-Father... He'd be proud right? I smashed my hand through the burning stone and watched it crumble around me. After all, I'm taking care of such a thieving kingdom. I started back down the tunnels following where I say Deceit go slowly burning and destroying the tunnels as I went. They came into our home and stole our things. They even tried to take my knife. But I got it back I got it...

Wait... When did I get it back? I stopped, feeling my head start to spin as I started losing track of my thoughts. Everything was red and blurry and... 

"Virgil!" I smiled wickedly as this voice rang through the place. That wasn't Deceit, but I bet I'll find... I swayed slightly leaning against the wall as the screaming got worse. Shut up. Shut up.. JUST SHUT UP! I'll kill him so just wait! Just... just shut up!

I found myself standing in front of this door smiling. I could smell coffee and I smiled wickedly. How does that snake always smell like... My eyes narrowed as I caught something else. Chocolate... and... NO! He's dead!

I tore the doors off and reveled in the sound of Deceit screaming in fear. I watched as he slowly backed up, shaking as I walked in. He glanced over and that's when I noticed the chains... and someone int them. My eyes blurred and the screaming got louder, making to too hard to concentrate. I could focus long enough to see anyone else but my target. I felt my body twitch again and this wave of guilt washed over me making me stop. 

"V-Virgil?" I glanced at the man in the chains and narrowed my eyes. My mind was lost in the thoughts that ran rampant. Kill him... burn him... make him suffer. He hurt Roman... He killed Roman... HE KILLED... 

I screamed out griping my hair as I fell to my knees. It's too loud... to... loud. SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! There was this small creak and I whipped around throwing my knife at it. The knife stuck into the wall igniting it instantly and Deceit fell backward, his attempt at escape failed.

"S̴e̶r̸i̴o̴u̴s̵l̴y̸,̸ ̷a̵f̸t̷e̸r̷ ̸e̵v̴e̷r̴y̴t̵h̴i̶n̷g̸ ̶y̴o̵u̷ ̵d̷i̵d̸ ̶y̶o̶u̸ ̸t̴h̷o̷u̵g̵h̵t̶ ̸y̴o̸u̶ ̶c̶o̸u̴l̸d̶ ̵j̴u̵s̵t̵ ̸r̴u̸n̷?̸!̵" He jumped slightly as I got louder and I laughed. "W̴h̴a̴t̷ ̷d̶i̴d̶ ̸y̴o̶u̸ ̵t̵h̸i̶n̴k̴ ̴I̴ ̶w̴o̵u̵l̶d̷ ̴c̴o̶m̴e̷ ̴i̸n̵,̴ ̴k̴i̷l̴l̸ ̵t̶h̶i̸s̵ ̵p̷e̴r̷s̷o̸n̵,̶ ̷a̴n̸d̶ ̸b̵e̶ ̴d̶o̴n̷e̷?̴" I grabbed one of the knives off the table and threw it at the chains not even bothering to see if it actually hit the person. Deceits eye narrowed and I could see the smile forming on his lips. The air blasted around the room responding to my anger and his smile instantly fell. "D̷͍̋Ï̷͚D̴̬̃ ̸̲͌Y̵̗̽Õ̸̜U̸̞̔ ̸̩͘T̴̜̉H̴̛͔I̵̦͆N̵͈͝K̸̽ͅ ̸̠͊Ī̸̢ ̶͓̑W̴̢̾Ò̸̙Ù̴͔L̴̯̽D̷̨̓ ̵̙̂J̵̣͝U̸̼̎S̴̤̎T̵̫͂ ̴͇́F̸͇̀O̸̽ͅR̷̻̉G̴̝͂E̶̜͊T̸̢́?̷̮̾!̷̡̽"

"V-Virgil... Don't do this." I guess that means I didn't kill the person in the chains then... I groan and held my hand out, watching as the knife flew into it. Deceit stumbled back till he hit the wall. He looked scared shitless. Good! I raised the knife high above my head and smiled wickedly with wide eyes as I went to strick. I felt as someone grabbed my arm stopping me from finishing it and wrapped another arm around my waist. They nuzzled their nose into my neck and I melted into the scent of chocolate and roses. No... he's... he's dead... he's...

"Virgil, please. Don't let him win." My entire body seemed to burn at his touch as he just held me close. I was in such shock, I didn't even notice my knife had fallen out of my hand. Deceit just stood there with his eyes narrowed as they pulled me back. "You've fought for so long... let me help you."

"W̵-̷W̸h̷a̷t̵.̷.̸.̵ ̶I̶.̸.̵.̴ ̵I̶ ̷d̷o̶n̴'̷t̸.̴.̷.̸" I looked up through the tears that started to form and blink them away to see a loving smile. "Y̴o̴u̴'̸r̴e̶ ̶d̸e̸a̵d̸.̷.̴.̵ ̶H̵e̴ ̸s̷a̴i̴d̴.̵.̷.̸ ̷t-the locket... I don't..." They held me tighter and I smiled as the voices got quieter. "Ro... Roman?"

"Yeah, hun. It's me." I spun around so fast and pulled him in. The red practically vanished from my eyes and he held me tightly. I can't... I love him so much... I can't lose him.

"Damn it Roman!" Deceit grabbed the knife and launched himself at us. I watched in horror as Roman pulled me behind him. "Now you're really are gonna die." I was shaking. Roman was just standing there unmoving as Deceit clearly stabbed him. Or at least that what it looked like at this angle. My eyes went wide as Roman started laughing. He glanced back at me with glowing purple eyes and I felt my heart start to race.

"Now don't go losing it again on me ok, sunshine." He sang as he moved back to reveal a small purple shield keeping my knife from hurting him. "We still have to go on a proper date. You know since the last one kinda sucked." I couldn't help but giggle. I thought I lost him. I thought he was dead. I thought... There was this wave of loving and calming energy that washed over me and I couldn't help but relax. "Just wait there ok, hun? Princy's got something he wants to try."
