Chapter 15: Good For You

Includes the song Good For You from Dear Evan Hanson.

The sides don't know where Thomas was brought to but they were determined to get out and find him. Once they were dragged to the dungeons they were locked in a cell together but Thomas had been grabbed again not long after. Patton cried in outrage as Deceit took his family away. He closely held Virgil and Logan to him when he heard footsteps approaching. He hoped it was Thomas but he could tell by the sounds it was Roman. Patton didn't want to see Roman at the moment but had a strong talking to coming for him anyway.

"Guys please? I don't want you to be locked down here but you have to understand. Anyone who isn't with me is an enemy." Roman said reluctantly. "Patton?" He looks at the angry looking dad.

*Song starts here*

"So you found a place where the grass is greener
And you jumped the fence to the other side
Is it good?
Are they giving you a world I could never provide?"

Patton found himself beginning to rant by song. Virgil and Logan look on from the back curious as to where this was going and if possibly they would be singing along.

"Well I hope you're proud of your big decision
Yeah, I hope it's all that you want and more
Now you're free from the agonizing life you were living before
And you say what you need to say
So that you get to walk away
It would kill you to have to stay trapped
When you've got something new
Well I'm sorry you had it rough
And I'm sorry I'm not enough
Thank God they rescued you
So you got what you always wanted
So you got your dream come true
Good for you
Good for you, you, you
Got a taste of a life so perfect
So you did what you had to do
Good for you
Good for you!"

The force that makes them sing pulls on Virgil who began to sing as well. Looks like they were doing this.

"Does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry?
Do you even care that you might be wrong?
Was it fun?
Well I hope you had a blast while you dragged me along."

Virgil felt his voice crack with the love he felt for the knight. He wished he could be with him but he just couldn't support enslaving those villagers. It was Logan who sang next. 

"And you say what you need to say
And you play who you need to play
And if somebody's in your way
Crush them and leave them behind."

Logan's singing voice was deeper than the others which surprised as they were all the same person. Virgil and Logan sand together for a moment as Roman watched on with hurt and disbelief in his eyes.

"Well I guess if I'm not of use
Go ahead, you can cut me loose
Go ahead now, I won't mind!"

Patton stepped in again to rant at his son.

"I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you, you, you?"

Virgil joined with Patton to.

"I'll just sit back while you run the show
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you, you, you?"

Logan joined in as they repeated those words again while Roman began singing to them. His voice was angry sounding but betrayed his actual feeling of being upset.

"All I need is some time to think
But the boat is about to sink
Can't erase what I wrote in ink
Tell me how could you change the story?
All the words that I can't take back
Like a train coming off the track
'Cause the rails and my bones all crack
I've got to find a way to
Stop it, stop it! Just let me out!"

Roman practically screamed his last line. He wanted his family to stop yelling at him. He just wanted to be king. Even Virgil who he secretly loved, enough for the roses powers to not effect him as Coleby had explained, was angry at him.

"So you got what you always wanted
So you got your dream come true
Good for you
Good for you, you, you
Got a taste of a life so perfect
Now you say that you're someone new
Good for you
Good for you
Good for you
Good for you
So you got what you always wanted!"

The three in the cell finished off and Roman stormed off on the verge of angry tears. Patton broke down again once he was gone at the two more collected sides gathered him into a hug.

"It's Deceit. Coleby is actually Deceit."

"Why didn't you say anything Patton?" Virgil asked when Patton revealed Coleby's secret identity.

"He threatened you guys, you see when he uses his magic (or abilities or whatever you like to call them) on others it strengthens his power over them. I couldn't tell you or he'd use his power against you guys and it would be more than just shutting you up. I love you to much to let him do that." Patton explained to Logan and wiped away tears as he held onto Logan. Virgil sighed and looked at Roman's sash he still held with him.
