A/n: What's this, a longer chapter after two weeks of nothing? OwO
TW: death, child murdering, stabbing, knocked out.
The camera began playing a video, and panned over to two children. Cecelia and Blancia.
"Mommy said you're a handsome young man" Cecelia told him, smiling, "and I agree, but I kinda think you're more cute than handsome" she rambled on.
"Hey! You can't think he's cute! I think he's cute!" Blancia screamed-no, literally, screamed.
The whole room's attention was on them now.
"I'll kiss him first!" Cecelia yelled jumping on Virgil, Blancia following.
"Oh my god!" Remus screeched, falling behind the couch.
Janus had to leave the room, he was laughing so hard.
"This is going to be a fine tape to embarrass them with when they're older" Lucia smirked.
Virgil feigned a gasp, "mom, so evil"
He received no response, just an evil chuckle.
The tape continued, and the adults had to pry the children off of him, (who had already kissed him multiple times) and have a serious conversation about how you can't marry your family members.
"I didn't wanna marry him though! I just wanted a few kisses and then I could marry someone else!" Cecelia glared.
"Welp, she's going to be a hooker" Remus stated.
"Yep" Lucia agreed.
"This is amazing" Janus smiled, putting an arm around Virgil and Remus after coming back into the room. They cuddled into Janus' chest, and Remus and Virgil's faces were close. They closed the gap, and started kissing.
Lucia was pretending she didn't notice, but she was smiling. Janus was too.
Remus and Virgil stopped kissing, and then both of them sat up, kissed Janus on his cheeks, and then sat back down on his chest.
This was the life.

She screamed in anguish. It wasn't a scream of pain. It wasn't a scream of anger. It was a scream of complete and utter agony as she looked to her husband, who lay before her.
"Why would you-you-do this?" She screamed in affliction.
She received no response.
"Tell the story" Raegan muttered, slicing the side of her hip with a knife.
"You know, this is this knife's first blood..." she looked at the blood covered knife fondly and licked it. Nice and slow. The woman looked on in pain and disgust.
"So..your profile says you've been married ten years?" She asked.
The woman cradled her hip, laying on the opposite one, "What about it?"
Raegan bent down to her level so their faces were just inches apart. "Where are your kids?" She asked in a sickeningly evil tone.
"I-I don't-"
"Oh, cut the crap!" She yelled, running off to search the house.
She ran into a bedroom. She smiled. Two children. One six, one, barely two.
She walked over slowly.
The mother crawled in, yelling at her to stop. The six year old woke up. "Mommy?"
That was the last time she heard her child's voice before a knife was being stabbed into her stomach. Raegan cut out the child's bellybutton, and stabbed the child in the gut until his screams died down, and he was decidedly dead.
"I've always had a soft spot for babies.." she mutterer, looking at the two year old, who was sobbing loudly. She slashed the kid's heels. "Not noisy ones though"
She slashed both heels, knocked out the mother, then left.
She knew that if an ambulance didn't arrive soon, the screaming child would die from the deep, bloody gashes in his feet.
It was just then that a neighbor walked in, screamed, and called an ambulance and the police.
A string of curses rang through the house, as Raegan jumped out the window, and fled.
————————————————————
The camera panned over to a kid. Brady.
Virgil gulped, and Lucia glared.
Remus and Janus watched in complete anger as everything unfolded.
"No, maybe this wouldn't be happening if he had a dad who actually loved him! Freak was so weird his dad had to beat it out of him!"
"Oh HELL NO" Remus screamed, "Who IS this kid?!"
Janus clenched his fist, watching as Virgil ran up the stairs and throw the camera to the side.
He sat there crying before Victoria came up, grounding him into a calming, gentle embrace, then holding him as he slept.
"Who in the name of god is that girl, and how can I thank her?" Janus asked.
"Well, I got her number" Virgil shrugged.
"Oooh~"
"REMY WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM-"
"Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to" he said, suddenly disappearing as soon as Virgil blinked.
"What-"
"Oh let him stay" Janus chuckled.
"She's a funny one that Victoria. Ya'll would like her." Lucia smirked.
"Victoria is my sixteen year old aunt"
"Lmao"
"Did you jus-"
"Yep"
Virgil rolled his eyes. They talked for a long while about Brady, and how they were going to kick his ass, and then they got into some more serious stuff after Lucia left the room.
"So..any news on Andrew?" Virgil refused to call him his father.
"Well..we wanted to tell you in person.."
"Oh god" Virgil groaned.
"He's been..killing more children. Well, kidnapping too..nobody knows if they're actually dead or not. Parents are freaking out. They suspect that he's going to target an orphanage next" Janus told him.
"Kids in orphanages already have sucky lives" Virgil groaned.
"That's just in the movies" Remus told him.
"Well, it doesn't seem too off the mark that kids who live with thousands of other kids wouldn't get a bunch of attention"
"Now that you mention it..yeah that sucks"
"Makes me feel grateful that i'm an only child" Janus smirked.
"Hey that reminds me-how's Roman?" Virgil asked.
"...well they said that he was going to wake up three days ago, but..he hasn't and I guess everyone's just..kind of scared. They were friends with him for so long, it's heartbreaking for then to find out so much stuff about Roman, hate him, then see him almost dead"
"Well, Remus, he's your brother, how do you feel?" Virgil asked.
"I-I don't care. I've always hated him. Everybody's always liked him so much better than me..that's why I tried to keep you guys away from him..I had a lot of friends, but..they always seemed to like Roman better. They didn't even notice when I stopped dragging behind them as they talked to my brother for hours, not sparing me a glance.."
"Remus-"
"If you guys actually knew Roman..would you even care about me? He has perfect grades, perfect posture, knows how to do everything, has anything he wants, has perfect, pearly whites, flawless skin, he's kind, he's not..disgusting-"
"He's kind?! Do you even hear yourself?"
"If it hadn't have been for that god damned dog that they accidentally killed, than he'd have probably already apologized to everyone, made amends, and be friends with them again."
"Woah, things like that don't happen so quick, it takes time to rebuild that kind of trust."
"Yeah..he saved me from Andrew, and he saved my mom. He was doing great, he revealed that he loved us more than he feared Andrew, and badda bing badda bang, we ran off into the sunset together."
"It's like, he does something nice, apologizes, we begin to trust him again, then three days later does something completely horrible again" Virgil sighed.

"Logie bear...i'm scared" Patton muttered.
"What for?" He asked, "Linda'a doing perfectly fine."
"No, not about that..about our future-everyone's future"
"Huh?"
He explained further, "most people don't stay friends after high school..and most people don't stay with their high school sweetheart either, and i'm scared of losing you guys-"
Logan shut him up with a kiss.
"Do you really think we'd just stop this after high school?" Logan teased, "we've been life-long friends. We're practically inseparable."
"Okay...you're right. That'll never happen"
