Corruption POV

My entire body was twitching. Coming back into existence in the mindscape is not very fun or painless.

I rolled over to my side, almost relishing in the pain it brought me. Pain felt good. Reminded me that I was alive.

That I was back. A lot angrier this time too. That those light side imbeciles haven't defeated me.

And that I remember everything. I especially remember that deceitful, lying, snake faced, traitor that stabbed me in the eye.

I'm not sure how I remember. Maybe it's because I'm not really a trait. More a parasite of the mind. I don't believe that insanity can become a true trait until I destroy Thomas's mental stability.

I was lying in the bottom of The Pit of Forgotten Memories. I could feel as the water lapped against my legs. I could also feel the little parasites running over my body. They were my beautiful creations. Unfortunately, that annoying nerd Logan knows how to cure someone who's been infected.

Anger and pure hatred coursed through me as I thought about the light sides.

I hate Virgil.

I hate Deceit.

I will make them pay for ever thinking they could defeat me. They belong to the dark, I'll make sure that they know that.

And I know just how to drive them insane. For Deceit, it's easy. Kill Doubt. Kill Doubt in front of Deceit every single time he reforms. But I'd love to kidnap Doubt and torture him until my hearts content. I will absolutely love making him suffer.

But Virgil is a little more difficult. Maybe it's because I spent so little time with him when I first started forming. Virgil was smart enough to understand what I was doing and trap me and the other dark sides away.

Too bad it didn't work out for him.

I can sense that Virgil's not down here anymore. I think I could use his memories of what Remus did to him to drive a wedge between his relationship with Roman. Without Roman, Virgil will have nothing left to live for.

I slowly pushed myself up onto my hands and knees.  I hissed out in pain.  I was not used to pain. 

Eventually, I stood up.  I stood still as the pain and dizziness washed out of me.  Finally, I was returning back to my normal self.  Pain doesn't effect me due to how my body glitches.

I'm not even going to bother with Remus and Ignorance this time around.  They're too stupid for their own goods.  They are utterly useless to me and my plans.

Well, time to start corrupting Virgil.

I closed my eyes to start forcing thoughts of Remus into his mind, but realized my powers were too weak as of now.  I need to regain my strength and energy. 

I walked over to the side of the tunnel.  I looked upwards to the entrance into the mindscape. 

I started climbing with eased practice.  Within seconds I was at the little ledge that led back into the mindscape. 

I sat down on the edge, staring down into the dark abyss that I considered my home. I could feel it's energy pulsing in my veins. The water in here ran through my blood. All this dark energy. All under my control.

I sighed before standing up. I silently opened the door and stepped into the hallway. I'm very good at being silent. Blending into the shadows. Acting like I'm not really there.

I headed down the hallway, looking for a certain snake. It's late at night, so he'll be alone. Perfect time to confront him.

I came across a yellow and black door.  It's obviously none other than Deceit's.  I pushed open the door and headed inside the room, kinda wishing I hadn't. 

Deceit and Doubt were laying on the bed, tangled in each other's arms.  They were both naked, the blanket barely above their waists.  Based on how sweaty they were and the hickeys and scratch marks down Doubts neck and back, I could only imagine what had gone down prior to my arrival. 

I sighed, disgusted at them.  I'm not touching either of them in attempt to wake Deceit. 

I'll just go bother Virgil now.

I left the room, making my way over to Virgil's room. Lucky for me it was right across the hall.

I pushed open the door, expecting to see a bandaged up Virgil asleep on the bed. But the room was cold and empty.

I sighed. Seriously, how hard is it to destroy your hosts mental stability?!

Well, I guess at this point it isn't about doing my job. I just want revenge at this point. And that stupid little anxious mess is the reason I haven't been able to do my job.

I hate him.

I hate Virgil with every inch of my being.

Well, if he isn't here, he's gonna be with Roman.  I headed out of Virgil's room, not bothering to shut the door behind me. 

I headed down the hallway towards a red door with little golden crowns.  I didn't bother slowly opening the door. 

I marched right into the room, honestly just done with everything right now.  I walked over to the bed and looked at the sight before me.

Virgil was laying on his back, a big bandage wrapped around his chest.  Oh?  Roman was curled up around Virgil the best he could without hurting him. 

Love.  It's disgusting.  It's the bane of my existence. 

A Cheshire smile spread across my face.  I had an idea.  Time to cause some chaos. 

I slammed my hands down on Virgil's chest, right were the bandage was.  Instantly, I got the reaction I wanted.  Virgil jumped upwards, screaming out in pain. 

I tried to bite back a laugh as I watched Virgil struggle in pain.  He couldn't see me, I was blended into the shadows. 

I repeated the action, this time pulling at the bandages, causing them to rub against the cut.  Virgil thrashed underneath me, obviously in immense pain. 

I stepped away from Virgil, watching the beautiful chaos play out in front of me.  The pain had forced Virgil into some PTSD triggered panic attack.

Roman woke up, shooting upwards in shock.  I quickly left the room as Roman moved to turn on the light. 

Once I was in the hallway, I couldn't stop my self from laughing quietly.  Pain filled screeches came from the room.  The screaming was music to my ears.  Chaos is amazing. 

-•-

It was keeping all my self control to not burst out laughing at the scene before me that I had caused. 

I had finally regained enough energy to start using my powers now.  So obviously, I went and attacked Virgil.  Who cares if everyone's over right now? 

I was hiding in the shadows, forcing images of Remus into Virgil's head.  Roman and Virgil were arguing over some alcohol.  So I started messing with Virgil's mind, making him see Remus instead of Roman. 

I watched in shocked happiness as Virgil slapped Roman.  This is working out even better than I thought!  I didn't think it would be this easy to drive Virgil insane. 

Virgil bolted upstairs, leaving everyone to stare at each other in confusion. 

I was grinning ear to ear, so proud of myself at this moment.  My smile faltered a bit as Deceit seemed to tense up.  He looked around the room, his gaze stopping in the shadows a few times. 

A little bit of fear filled me.  He could probably sense me.  Which wasn't ideal.  But oh well, I'll just have to kidnap Doubt sooner. 

I quickly headed through the shadows, following Virgil to his room. 

I easily slipped into Virgil's room.  It was almost pitch black in his room.  The only light came from the crack under the door. 

I frowned in fake sympathy.  Virgil was curled up on the floor, obviously going through a panic attack. 

Well, time to start my plan.  I stayed in the shadows, not wanting to show myself yet.  I'll just get into his mind. 

Hello V-Virgil,  I called out, watching as Virgil's entire body flinched as he heard me.

Did y-you miss m-m-me?  I asked, ending in a slow laugh that echoed around the room.
