MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH AND U!ROMAN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roman held his sword in one hand and his brother's mace in the other, standing above the bloodied and bruised Remus before him.

"Y-You... You're the reason Thomas is so screwed up!"

"Ro, I-I..." Remus' voice trailed off, eyeing his mace. He figured if he grabbed it swiftly enough, he'd be able to catch Roman off guard. He'd do it if it weren't for the fact that his arms were going numb and everything was getting a bit... fuzzy.

"YOU'RE THE REASON I WAS CALLED EVIL!" Roman yelled, kicking Remus into the wall while the demented twin winced and let out a small groan in pain.

"Roman I-" Remus spat out some pink blood. This wasn't looking good for him. "I-I wasn't there during the video..! W-what are you talking about!?"

"You and your little..." Roman tried gesturing to what he was attempting to say. "Boyfriend, have ruined everything!"

"What does Janus have to d-" Remus let out a small cry of agony as his mace was pressed to his chest. "J-JAN! VIRGE!"

"Oh, ho, ho! They can't help you now, you mistake." Roman spat, pressing the mace harder.

Remus winced, trying to push the mace off of him. "R-Ro you cant just fucking kill me! Thomas n-needs me!"

"Bullshit!" Roman growled, lifting the mace and Remus letting out a shaky sigh of relief before fear flashes in his eyes as Roman raises the mace above his head.

All Remus' sees before he goes limp and numb is his mace coming down onto his head.

Roman snarled, taking his sword and giving Remus a quick stab in the chest, confirming to himself that his twin was...

Was dead.

"If I'm the evil twin..." Roman started, throwing the mace in front of Remus. "Then I guess it's best I'm the only one..."

Roman turned to walk away before a twinge of guilt shot through his body, the weight of the situation sinking in.

He had just killed another side.

His brother.

Maybe there was still hope..?

"L-Logan!" Roman called out, going to sit in front of his brother. He placed two fingers to Remus' neck, looking for a pulse.

Nothing.

"LOGAN THIS IS AN EMERGENCY PLEASE!" He yelled, tears starting to make their way down the side of the creative side's face.

Logan rose up, annoyed and riddled with slight concern. "Roman what seems to be- Oh shit. WHAT THE-"

"JUST HELP, PLEASE!" Roman yelled, His voice becoming hoarse.

"EXPLAIN!" Logan yelled, failing to stay calm as he pushed Roman to the side and examined Remus' several wounds.

"H-he... I-I..."

Logan summoned bandages and medical supplies, knowing he wouldn't have enough time to carry Remus to a bed to properly assist him. "YOU DID THIS!?" 

Roman stammered, not knowing how to respond.

He couldn't tell the truth.

And he sure as hell couldnt lie.

So he passed out.

Hours later...

Roman's eyes fluttered open, alerting everyone in the room of his conscious state and immediately being pulled towards Janus by his cane.

"What the fuck did you do. And don't you FUCKING dare lie to me." Janus growled, holding Roman close.

"Janus! Let go of Roman! He wouldn't do something as... A-as horrible a-as..." Patton stuttered, not having the strength to finish the sentence.

"I'll let him go when he answers my fucking question." Janus said to Patton, looking back to Roman. "Remus h-he... he did nothing wrong and you..! You-!"

Janus let Roman drop back onto the bed, feeling more tears fall. That's when Roman truly saw everyone clearly.

They looked like they were all sobbing.

Even Logan.

Logan cleared his throat. "You might as well kn-know." He stated, cursing himself for stuttering. "Remus is... Remus is dead. I suspect either... Murder or... Suicide."

"It was the second thing." Roman spat out, not registering what he'd just said.

"LIAR!" Janus shouted, wanting to take his anger and emotional agony out on Roman. Anything. "HE WOULDNT HAVE!"

"W-we can't always know, Janus..." Patton muttered.

Roman shook his head, fighting off his dizziness. "Where's stormcloud..?"

Janus got rid of his cane, wiping his tears. "His room... He won't come out... He thinks you..." Janus shot Roman a glare. "That you killed Remus."

"But I-"

"Roman enough. You need to rest." Logan spoke.

Janus scoffed, crossing his arms and mumbling something about 'How can he rest after a murder'.

A couple days later, Roman was up and walking. No one ever spoke to each other other than the occasional "Sorry" when bumping into one another and "thank you" when someone did something for someone else.

Janus was a mess. Sobbing everyday due to the fact that he just had so many memories with the duke. Most of the memories he loved. He cherished them.

Patton, not really being that close with Remus was still a mess. Just to know that a side might've committed suicide? Or worse, someone among them was a murderer...?

Logan and Virgil spent their time in their separate rooms. Loga choosing to bury himself in work and Virgil most likely crying to himself.

All Roman felt was guilt. He knew he was the reason Remus was dead. He knew that if he had just calmed down, his brother would be alive right now.

He tried reassuring himself that what he did was in the past and he could move past it, right?

He wished it were that easy.

"Hello..?" 

Roman's head shot up. He had been walking down the hall, thinking to himself.

"Heeeeeello?" 

Roman looked around for the source of the voice, his heart beating fast. He recognized the voice and he sure as hell hoped it wasn't who he thought.

The creative persona felt a familiar tug, being summoned to another hallway in the mindscape. 

He rose up, standing next to Patton who was quickly joined by Janus, Virgil, and Logan. "What's the pro...blem. Is that-"

"I-I heard his v-voice... I-I thought I was hearing th-things but I-I..."

"Pat, calm down. Who is it? A new side?"

Patton shook his head, pushing the faded grey door in front of them open.

Roman's heart stopped when he saw his brother.

"R-Re-"

"Oh, hi! I'm-" The green side started, falling off of the bed. "Creativity!"

"REMUS!" Janus yelled, letting out shaky breaths as he pulled Remus into a hug.

'Remus' gave Janus a weird and concerned look. "Who's Remus? Aaaaand why are you hugging me?"

Janus let go, holding Remus by his shoulders. "W-what YOU'RE REMUS!"

"No. I'm creativity!" Remus looked around the room. "I woke up here and I'm kinda confused."

"You... You don't remember anything..?" Roman said, relief slipping into his voice.

"Remember what?"

Janus looked between Roman and Remus. "R-Rem please I-I..."

"Look. I dunno who Remus is or who any of you are but I'm hungry and craving deodorant so can you like..." 'Remus' pushed Janus away a bit, the snake, letting go Remus with a distant look in his eyes.

Patton let out a choked sob, running away to his bedroom.

"Did I... do something..?" Remus asked, cocking his head to the side a bit.

Janus got up quickly, brushing some dust off his pants and leaving the room with a quick 'I love you' mumble.

Virgil stayed silent, shaking his head in disbelief before shooting Roman a deadly glare and storming off back to his room.

The logical trait sighed. "You've done nothing wrong, Re-... Creativity... The others are just... upset."

"Oh oki dokie!" 'Remus' said cheerfully, turning to Roman. "Who are you?"

Roman froze, looking at his brother. 

"M-Me? I'm your uhhh... I'm your-"

"Brother." Logan finished, shooting Roman a questioning look. "He's your brother."

Remus' eyes lit up with a sort of childhood joy. He had a brother? Someone who looked so cool?

"That's so cool!" Remus squealed, standing up and engulfing an uncomfortable Roman in a hug.

"M-mhm..." Roman muttered, hugging back awkwardly.

Remus let go, looking to Logan. "And you are..?"

"Logic. But you may call me Logan."

Roman gave Remus a small smile, seeing something on Remus' forehead and freezing. "U-umm... what's that on your forehead..?"

Remus gave his brother a confused look, running over to a hallways mirror and seeing a scar, barely hidden by his hair, on his forehead.

"Cool!" Remus giggled. "It looks like I won a battle against someone!"

"I wouldn't say you won..." Roman mumbled, crossing his arms.

Remus' head shot to Roman. "What did you say..?"

Roman shook his head frantically. "Nothing, nothing..."

Remus' face contorted into a sort of confusion before horror overcame him, memories making their way into his head. "Y-you..."

"I... What...?" Roman has a bad feeling. He knew something was going to happen.

"I-I remember... You..." Remus mumbled profanities to himself, backing away from Roman as he could feel tears starting to form.

"Oh! You remember? What happened then?" Logan questioned.

Remus shook his head, stopping his tears. "Is Janus in his room?"

"Most likely."

"G-good. Because I wouldn't want him to be around a murderer..."

Logan's head shot to Roman in realization. "You-!"

"I wasn't thinking!" Roman finally yelled, frozen in place. "I-I didn't think I'd take it so far!"

Janus rose up, cane in hand. " I FUCKING KNEW IT!"

Roman stammered, not knowing what to do. He knew this went against his promise of himself to never run away from his problems but he couldn't think of anything else to do.

So he ran.

Janus was about to pursue Roman before Remus grabbed his arm. "Jan. He's not worth it. I'll get him when he has the balls to come back."

Janus dropped his cane, embracing Remus in a tight hug. The duke, of course hugging back.

Roman sat on the edge. The edge of the mindscape. It was like a cliff into the black depths of the unknown that laid below. He figured if he stayed out here long enough he'd come up with an apology. An alibi. Anything to get the others to love him again.

He'd be here a while.
