A/n: Alrighty, first of all, sorry for all of the notifications you guys probably got yesterday, I unpublished this book and then I re published it, so sorry to disappoint, but they weren't actual updates

Welp, anyways, I feel like making another flashback chapter, so, poof.

Tw: mentions of beatings and being blind, being in the hosital

Virgil was lying down, unconscious on the hospital bed.

It has been like that for days.

Lying on a hospital bed.

Virgil was aware of his surroundings.

He could hear what was going on, but couldn't moove or open his eyes.

He knew he was awake, but knew, at the same time, he was asleep.

All he could do was think.

He was left alone, drifting into darkness with nothing but his unstable thoughts.

Thinking of memories.

Thinking of the past.

Thinking about how much he would've done to protect Emily if he could've.

He wished he could have saved her.

It wasn't fair.

It wasn't fair that there were people like Andrew, making the world a terrible, ugly place, while at the same tome, there were people like Emily, making the world a better, more beautiful place.

It wasn't fair that Emily couldn't see any of the beauty she created while she was alive.

She couldn't see the flowers she planted or the earthy grass she attempted to water.

She couldn't see the faces she made smile, or the beauty of the earth which she wanted to thrive, and sadly, couldn't see the beauty of herself either.

Emily was, an adorable, beautiful little girl.

Virgil always wondered how Emily suddenly became blind.

At first, her vision was so insanely horrible because of Andrew, that everything became so blurry, everything she saw was a pure, blinding shade of white all the time.

Over time, the white faded to black as spots began to cloud her vision while Andrew did many things to worsen her vision.

Doctors didn't understand why she suddenly became blind. They said that she did have bad vision from the start while she was a baby, but plain, normal glasses could completely fix it, and over time it would get better.

It got worse.

And worse.

And worse.

Virgil started to think of a memory.

~Yay another flashback~

Virgil heard loud, ugly sobs which came from his baby sister from upstairs.

He wondered what was wrong with her.

He hurried upstairs, and finally got to the bathroom and opened the door.

He heard actual sobs of pain coming from his baby sister, who was on the shelf of a large countertop in their huge bathroom.

Andrew was on the other side of the bathroom, seeming to be putting bleach or something away, as Virgil could tell.

He looked at his sister, something seemed wrong with her eyes.

Virgil couldn't put his finger on it.

Virgil became a little panicked, was Andrew hurting Emily too?

He knew that Andrew hadn't noticed he was in there. He quickly grabbed his baby sister, running to his room with her.

He knew that his mom wasn't home, so he was panicking a lot.

He ran downstairs and suddenly stopped once he heard a loud shout of his name from his father.

His eyes widened with panic, so he ran out of the house through the front door.

He knew his dad would kill him for Protecting Emily.

He knew where Remus lived, so ran there.

He knocked on the door frantically as he arrived.

Katlin opened the door quickly, looking down to the 10 year old on her doorstep holding a crying child who was barely eight months old.

"Virgil, what's wrong?" Remus' mother, Katlin asked.

Virgil sniffed loudly.

"D-d-dadd-dy was hurt-hurt-hurting Em-m-mily!" He responded with a sob.

"Janus! Remus! Can you stop being all lovey-dovey for a moment and come down here?" Katlin shouted.

Remus came down the stairs holding Janus's hand, and was about to respond when he saw Virgil.

"VIRGILLLLLLLL!!!! WHY ARE YOU CRYING?! WHY IS EMILY CRYING?! OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO HER EYES?!" Remus screeched.

"REMUS, SHUT UP!" Roman yelled from up the stairs.

"SCREW YOU, MY BFF IS CRYING!"

"WELL LET HIM BE A BABY, THEN!"

"GUYS! YOU'RE SCARING THE BABY!" Janus yelled at the twins.

"Screw this! I'm going to Patton's house!" Roman groaned.

"Nuh uh, it's a six minute walk and you can't go without a grown up!" Katlin told him.

"I'll get dad to take me!" Roman yelled.

"Nope, I gotta go to the store to buy milk" his dad growled out as he left the house.

They never did see their father ever again after that.

Roman just rolled his eyes and came downstairs.

Roman looked around the room angrily until his eyes landed on Virgil.

He practically had hearts in his eyes, thinking of how cute the guy in front of him was.

He blushed and ran back upstairs immediately.

Virgil frowned. "He took one look at me and ran away"

"He's a real jerk, Virge, don't take it personally" Janus explained to him

Virgil nodded with a sniffle.

Katlin took Emily from Virgil gently, and tried to pacify her.

"Something's wrong with her eyes" Virgil told her softly.

Katlin, who's a doctor, nodded and brought Emily to the bathroom to check her eyes out, because that's where the first aid kit was.

Virgil, Janus, and Remus were all cuddled up on the couch together and were talking.

"My mommy bought me goldfish! Want some?" Janus asked, holding the bag of goldfish out to his friends.

"YESSSS!" Remus screeched.

"My daddy wouldn't like it if I ate snacks" Virgil told them with a frown.

"Your dad's a douche bag" Remus deadpanned.

"What's a douche bag?" Virgil asked, cocking his head to the side. My daddy calls me it all the time"

"It goes into a woman's Vagina!" Katlin called from the bathroom.

"What's a vagina?!" Janus screeched.

"A WOMAN'S LADY PARTS!" Katlin screeched back.

"So, titties?" Remus asked.

"Go a little further down!" Katlin yelled.

"Ew!" Virgil said, sticking his tongue out.

"Virgil's sticking his tongue out, he wants to lick up the Vagina!" Janus chuckled.

"Nooooooo!" Virgil groaned, "i want to suck cock, not lick puss-"

"GUYS!" Roman screamed from his bedroom, "SHUT IT UP OR I SWEAR TO GOD-"

"PUMP THE BREAKS PRINCY!" Katlin yelled.

Roman grumbled, and Remus muttered something about 'pumping my cock'

Katlin returned downstairs after a few moments, claiming that something seemed very off about her eyes, and she suggested that Virgil tells Lucia to take Emily to the hospital.

Virgil told her he would, and bolted out of the house.

Katlin was filled with panic as Virgil ran out of the house, "Virgil wait! What about Andrew?! Don't go, he might still be home!"

But Virgil was a fast little boy, and long gone.

Virgil ran into the house as he heard shouting from his dad to nobody in particular, "i'm going to kill you, Virgil!" Andrew screamed.

Virgil panicked and ran into a big, dark cabinet in the kitchen, holding Emily close.

The baby started crying quietly, whimpers escaping her lips every so often.

"Emily..Emi, shhh...shhh....you're okay, it's okay, he won't hurt you." Virgil soothed.

"V-v?" Emily asked quietly, hearing her brother's voice.

Virgil smiled a little, "yeah..i'm here"

Virgil hears the front door open and close.

He waited a minute of two, and upon hearing nothing, got out of the cabinet.

Virgil ran to a closet, and put a bunch of blankets and pillows down inside of a clear plastic tub in the closet, and then set Emily down into it.

He sprinted away quickly to get a bottle for her, and returned, handing it to her.

"Shh...you'll be okay...shh, shhh..I love you, Emily..I won't let him hurt you" Virgil said with a tiny smile.

Emily stood up slowly, and was seemingly feeling around for Virgil, who was confused.

Could she not see him?

He put his face in front of hers and she
felt him with her tiny hands and then brought her arms around his neck to hug her.

He patted her head slightly, and layed her back down, putting the bottle in her mouth again, which she cautiously drank.

The door suddenly slammed open, and Virgil quickly closed the closet.

But he was on the outside of it.

"Where's Emily?!" Andrew growled at his son.

"I-I don't..know..." he said in a futile attempt to lie.

Andrew glared at Virgil and took his belt off.

Oh, Virgil was about to get beat.

Virgil swore, if he was awake, he would've frowned at the memory.

"Virgil!" "Virgil!" "Please wake up" he heard a mixture of voices scream at him.

Virgil was confused, but the voices managed to enable him to open his eyes and groan.

He almost passed out again when he heard several people scream "Virgil" to the top of their lungs.
