The leaves from the strong oak tree swayed in the gentle wind of the imagination, the crickets chirped quietly nearby creating a calming atmosphere. while the night was peaceful, Virgil would say so are mornings, just before the sunrise when the crickets are still chirping but you can hear some of the birds awakening from their slumber. Virgil loved that, watching the sunrise was just a plus. 

Deceit smiled as he made his way to the mind palace with the mist in hand. He knew the ventilation system wouldn't detect or move the mist from Virgil's room. 

Deceit walked as quietly as he could to get to Virgil s room. When he got to the door it was a shock to him to see it ajar. he gently opened the door, only to be met with an empty room. he was at first pissed off. he could have easily started his plan if Virgil was there!

That's when he heard it; the cautious steps of the very anxious emo he so dearly looking for.

"Perfect, i can easily open the bottle once hes in the room, but he needed to hide quickly, for the footsteps where getting closer, and so he made his way into Virgil's room, where he easily hid in the closet, holding both the bottle and his breath as Virgil walked in, not fully registering the more open door, and laid on his bed, scrolling through, most likely tumblr, as per usual.

deceit had to be careful, Virgil could spot him at any time and then the plan would be ruined. Deceit carefully watched Virgil, whom looked to be falling back asleep, this was his chance! he waited patiently, it was another ten minutes before Virgil fell back asleep. deceit smiled and left the closet. he put the bottle on the night stand, making sure to leave it open before leaving closing the door behind him.

Virgil had fallen asleep his phone right next to his head, he turned onto his side holding the pillow, as if it were a person, gaining a small sense of security from it.

That's when the mist seeped out of the bottle and floated over to Virgil, staying close to his face so he would breathe it in as he slept. 

Virgil will never be the same when he wakes up.

When he did wake up, the first thing he noticed was that everything seemed bigger and and a lot darker, the spider webs around his room that had no spiders in them looked almost threatening to him. it was different, way too different, that's when he heard the door slowly creak open.

Virgil quickly got off the bed and hid under it, it was safer then being caught by a monster coming through his door, but then a thought crossed his mind. 

"what if the monster under the bed tries to get me?!" this thought alone spooked Virgil for two reasons.

one, he hadn't thought about the monster under the bed since he was a toddler.

two, what if it did get him? 

he quickly left from under the bed but what quickly met with being picked up.

"There you are storm cloud" Virgil looked over, he was only called that when he was a toddler. he looked up at who picked him up, it was Deceit, whom was smiling calmly and with a grin on his face. 

"Daddy!!" Virgil squealed with a bright smile on his face, showing the few teeth he now had. Deceit couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's right, lets get you away from here, its not safe" deceit had a tone that was a mix of concern and happiness of some sort. 

he sunk out with the child in his arm to Remus's tower.
