The Odd Dream

[Winter Star12]

This is a psychological horror AU/story for the Youtube series Sanders Sides. Most of the story is with Virgil with an exception to towards the end.

[Winter Star12]

Virgil jumped awake as he has been doing for the past few weeks. Those dreams keep getting more vivid. He sighed as he got up. He always woke up the moment him and those five others stepped into the house. He didn't really remember their names, except for one. A boy named Roman. Why was Roman's name the only one he could hear? Why were all the other names muffled sounding to him? And why did he feel love for someone he doesn't even know or know if Roman exists? All these questions raced through his head as he sat on his bed. He kinda wanted to go back to sleep, just so he could talk to Roman again and kiss him. He sat there, both confused and a little panicked. What if something bad is waiting within that old house they all met at? He sighed sitting there before laying back there, but he couldn't fall back asleep.

[Winter Star12]

Virgil quickly shook himself out of his thoughts as terror raced through his mind. He trembled as his mind replayed what he witnessed. Did he really just see the door mysteriously lock behind him? That odd house kept plaguing his every thought. The door locked behind him and then he heard Roman's scream as one of the others was crushed under an old chandelier. Who was he? All Virgil remembered about him was the cardigan around his neck and his cyan shirt. Did his name begin with a P? Virgil didn't remember.

[Winter Star12]

Virgil jolted awake in terror. He stared up at the ceiling. He really just say someone's throat got slit by glass? Who was he? He was a bit of a smartass but Roman's older brother seemed heartbroken about the guy. He wore glasses similar to the guy that got crushed. What was his name? Why couldn't Virgil remember anyone else's name? All these questions ran through his mind.

[Winter Star12]

Virgil whimpered like an injured puppy as he jumped awake. Roman had just died in that dream. He had grown used to the other's deaths but when Roman died, something just hurt him a lot more then before. It might've been Roman's pleading look or it might've been that fact that even though Roman might've been nothing more then just a figment of Virgil's imagination, he love Roman or it might've been the fact the snap of Roman's neck once he fell sounded so real. Virgil trembled, feeling a prickling sensation in the corners of his eyes. He then just broke down into a mess of nothing more then tears and sobs.

[Winter Star12]

Virgil shook himself out of that vision. That guy with the half snake face got impaled on a sharp piece of wood that fell from the ceiling. He sighed, not because that death hurt him but because after Roman's brother he was next. He grew a bit worried and started to tremble. He broke down into violent sobs that shook his entire body.

[Winter Star12]

Virgil jumped slightly, waking up. He sighed as he laid his head back down on his pillow. He knew it was going to happen but he wasn't ready for it. His heart pounded against his chest as his mind replayed Roman's brother's death. He winced slightly when he reheard the snap of the neck. 'I guess it makes sense the brothers would have the same death...' Virgil thought. He sighed as he mentally prepared himself, expecting to die in this next dream as he started to fall asleep again.

[Winter Star12]

Virgil woke up. He felt pain rushing through his body. It seemed to start at his chest and branch out through his whole body. Virgil didn't want to move. He felt dead. His phone let off a text notification sound. He looked at his phone and read a message by Roman. 'Hey, I assume this number is Virgil since this is the number Virgil gave me in the dream. May I get a picture for proof though?' the text read. Virgil took a quick selfie and went it to the person. The next message made Virgil smile. 'It is you! My brother called me stupid for wanting to try but you do exist!' Virgil sighed and texted back and forth with Roman.

[Winter Star12]

Virgil walked in front of the house. He noticed quite a group. All of them from his dreams. Suddenly, Roman ran at Virgil excitedly and knocked him over. "Virgil! It's so amazing to finally meet you!" Roman exclaimed. Virgil smiled gently, "It's is really incredible." Roman's older brother approached and spoke, "So you're Virgil? I'm Remus, Roman's older brother." Introductions were exchanged with the other three, Patton, Logan and Deceit.

[Winter Star12]

They hung around outside the house for a bit. Virgil sighed and spoke, "Hey, are we going to head inside the house?" Roman nodded and spoke with a slightly nervous tone of voice, "We might as well fulfill our destiny of entering this house." The rest of them nodded in agreement and walked in, Patton in the lead and Virgil in the back. The moment Virgil passed the doors, they slammed shut. Virgil jumped staring at the doors when a crashing sound was heard along with Roman's scream. Virgil knew what had happened. He turned to see Patton, crushed under the fallen chandelier. His expression was frozen with fear. They all looked at each other, knowing what was next for who.

[Winter Star12]

After taking a while to coerce Deceit away from Patton's dead body, the group continued onward. Logan was trembling as he walked. He glanced at the group, now all behind him. He saw Remus being closest to him. Virgil and Roman were not too far behind Remus, keeping close together. Then he saw Deceit at the back of the pack, looking down at his feet. Logan kept trembling, focussing forward again. He noticed the shattered window and then felt his foot catch on a pulled up plank. He landed on the shattered glass and it sliced into his throat. He started coughing violently, blood starting to fill up and escape his mouth. He took in the terrified faces of the others and he noticed the heartbreak in Remus' eyes.

[Winter Star12]

They anxiously continued onward, two now dead from this house. Roman gently held onto Virgil's arm as they walked. He took in all sights, mainly of his older brother's dejected appearance. It seemed as though both Remus and Deceit had their own personal rainclouds. Roman then heard the floor start to give way under his and Virgil's feet. He shoved Virgil into Deceit, right as the floor give out. He fell through the second floor, staring at Virgil and feeling fear race through his mind. When he landed, his neck made a loud crack sound and Virgil ended up breaking down into tears.

[Winter Star12]

Deceit took the lead, wandering ahead of the group. Virgil and Remus were behind him, being very dejected. He looked back at the two now pitiful people. He suddenly tripped and landed face first on the ground. He heard something start to crack above him and then he felt a violent pain start to rush through his body. He trembled, starting to tear up. He looked up to see Patton, with a slight bit of blood dripping from his mouth. Remus and Virgil stared at Deceit, curled up in a puddle of his own blood, barely alive. Deceit soon feel limp with tears streaming down from his eyes and blood dripping from his mouth and the impalement wound on his back.

[Winter Star12]

Remus sighed, walking ahead of Virgil. He sighed as he trembled heavily. Remus realized that they were four floors up. He nervously glanced back at Virgil who was walking so slowly and carefully. Remus then started to feel the floor start to give way. "Stay there, Virgil," Remus said. He glanced at Virgil who had stopped. Remus then became aware of two silhouettes behind him. Logan and Roman were there. Roman mouthed to Remus, "It'll be okay, big brother, me and Logan are here waiting for you." Remus trembled as the floor gave way and he fell to the ground floor and snapped his neck. Tears had stained Remus' cheeks. Virgil stared at Remus' body and felt mentally ill.

[Winter Star12]

Virgil looked around and yet no one was in sight. He continued onward all alone. After a few hours of wandering, he decided to enter one of the bedrooms. He felt physically and mentally exhausted from everything. Virgil's body gave way as he collapsed on the floor. His eyes could barely stay open and his arms and legs felt so heavy and weak. He then felt it, the pain that started in his chest and seemed to branch out through his body. He glanced over his shoulder and saw a massive piece of ceiling piercing his back. It was much larger then the one that stabbed Deceit in the back. He trembled weakly before starting to black out. He then came to, floating over his own body. He looked around and saw Roman. It was hard to tell if Roman was standing or floating because his legs and hands were the most transparent. He floated over to Virgil, wrapping him up in a hug. "Guess we have an eternity together, Virgil..." Roman said softly, his voice as gently as the rain that had started falling outside. Virgil nodded softly before hugging Roman back.
