Ghosts, Ghouls and Nonbinary Pals

Chapter 1 [Virgil]

By CasTheCastiel

Virgil stood in a old abandoned cabin that was most likely in the middle of the woods. He felt and looked like his own self, but there was was problem. Thomas was nowhere to be found. This is a first. I've never been apart from Thomas! What does this mean? Where is Patton? Or that heartless Man, Logan? Even Roman?! He thought, very panicked.

Virgil walked through the door and immediately stopped in his tracks. He couldn't move any farther. He tried walking back to the center of the room but he couldn't go there either. "What is this?" He asked in his slightly quiet anxious voice. He looked down and saw a red circle with strange writing.

Virgil looked around for at least some one. "Ok... is this a demon summoning thing? Or Satanic ritual?" He asked but no one responded. "Listen... I'm all up for some angsty activities and Demons are the rulers of Angst. I would very much not want to be a sacrifice...." He informed the empty room..

Virgil looked around again and spotted a torn up and out of place Nightmare before Christmas poster laying on the floor. "Roman is this you! I told you can't have my posters!" He shouted angrily.

Waiting for a snarky comment from him. Virgil noticed something moving out the window.

He pulled his purple and black patchy hood over his face thinking. Socializing!? Really? Is this another video? Why can't I freaking escape this torture that is socializing! He started to panic.

A man with a green jacket and short hair walked into the room. He had a tough look on his face and a gun in his hand.

Virgil jumped. What was going on.

The man looked right at him. "Looks like a caught one!" He said putting his gun down on a table and pulling out a flask, that would usually be used for alcohol but seemed to be filled with water. Virgil looked around, trying to find someone else in the room. "Are you talking about me?" He asked, not expecting to get an answer.

The man looked at Virgil with a slightly annoyed look. "Yes... i'm talking about you, A hole." He said. Virgil jumped, both at the harsh words and the fact that this man could see him!

Virgil still a little freaked out, tried to stay.... well.... not exactly calm.... he was never fully calm, mostly just less anxious than... his most anxious point? It's hard trying to make the actual embodiment of Anxiety seem calm and collected. That was more logan's style, not Virgil's. "ok first of all, ouch... hard words.... and second of all...... HOW THE HELL CAN YOU SEE ME!!!!!!!!!!!???????????" He shouted. Sounding more panicked than he wanted to.

The man looked at him like he was just plane annoying.

He splashed Virgil with his weird flask water and it burned. "OW! WHAT THE-" he shouted until the man started talking in a different language. Virgil felt weird. Almost like when he slid down in every Sanders Sides video, but this time it seemed different... like it was something bad.

All of a Sudden. There was a bright blinding light accompanied by an ear piercing ringing sound in his ears. The man seemed to see and hear this too and he stopped talking.

The light slowly started to die down but before it did you could hear a voice saying. "Oops sorry kiddos! I'm not used to being a celestial being!" Virgil found this voice a little comforting and familiar.

The man looked over to the door where the light was still dimming down. "It's hard to tone your voice down like this... good thing I can tune a piano, but sadly I can't Tuna Fish!" The voice said in the worst dad joke tone you would ever hear.

Without turning around, Virgil asked. "Patton? Is that you?" The man seemed surprised about how they knew each other.

Patton walked through the door, still dressed in his strange dad clothes... but there was something that just made him seem so strange.....

Patton looked over to the man. "Jensen Ackles?" He asked, recognizing him from the show supernatural. This made the man's expression burst with some unreadable expression. "It's Dean... my name is Dean Winchester!" He informed him. Patton gave Dean a look, putting his hands on his hips. "Don't you kid with me, I recognize you from that TV show, Days of our lives!" Patton told him.

This seemed to anger Dean or Jensen even more.

Patton looked over at Virgil who seemed to still be feeling the burning sensation from the water. Patton made a very over the top surprised face and then looked back at Dean. "DID YOU HURT MY POOR LITTLE ANGSTY SON!!!!!" He asked with pure rage.

Dean immediately cut his hand and started drawing something on the wall. But before he could, Patton's eyes glowed blue and a shadow of feathered wings appeared behind him. "GO TAKE A TIME OUT!!!!" He shouted and then pushed the air with his hand. When he did, Dean was shot through the back wall of the cabbin. He got up, brushing wood and dirt off of his clothes and ran off. In the distance you could hear him shouting "Son of a bitch!" When he reached his car.

Patton walked over to the giant hole in the wall and yelled back at him. "Watch your language!" Then turned back to Virgil.

Virgil gave Patton a sad, anxious lost kitty look. "Are you ok!?" Patton asked, crossing over the circle and hugging Virgil. "Pa--pa---" he choked out through the tight hug.

Patton jumped out of the hug and starting to cry with joy he asked. "Did you just call me papa!?" Virgil looked at him for a minute, regaining his breath. "No... I was trying to say Patton.... you just stepped into this strange circle that I can't escape from." He said, brushing his bangs back over his face.

Patton looked down at the circle and stepped back out with ease. "Are you pulling my leg?" He asked holding up a creepy doll leg he found on the ground of this cabin they were in. Virgil jumped and tried to slap that thing out of Patton's hands, but she was stopped by the circle.

Patton dropped it and it chipped a small space in the circle that was holding Virgil. The Circle was now a three quarter circle..... maybe.... whatever it would be called. The circle wasn't a full circle anymore.

Patton reached his hands out and grabbed both of Virgil's. "come on you just need to walk through!" He said pulling Virgil who refusingly tried to pull away from the corner of the circle. "P-patton it's not going to work...." he said pulling away. But the strength of a determined Patton is impossible to resist. Patton easily pulled him through the circle. "There you silly Willy." He grabbed Virgil by the hand and didn't let him let go. Let's go see if we can find every one else! He said leading Virgil out the door.

The last words that room heard was Virgil saying. "Patton you don't need to hold my hand........."
