(Warning: Swearing, talk of violence, Corupted! Virgil)

(This is still Remy's POV)

    I was sick to my stomach. Thomas safetly moved Virgil into a cell at home base to ensure his and everyone else's safety. Jackyl was in another cell. He hadn't come too yet, but when he did, oh prey to Thomas that he knows how to cure Virgil because otherwise, he's dead meat.

   I paced Damian's office, too stressed to be a queen at the moment. "Remy dear, please sit down and relax. There is nothing we can do for him right now." Damiam tried to comfort me. "You didn't see him De. He looked.." I trailed off, not being able to finish. "I know Rem, but you need to go home and relax. Im sure Virge's human friends are worried sick." The realization hit me like a shit ton of caffeine. "My god your right babe! Ill be back later!" I quickly kissed him and took off, heading home.

    As soon as I got there, I saw Roman, Logan, and Patton at Virgil and I's door. "Hey guys!" I said, making a huge mistake. I wasn't wearing sunglasses. Patton and Roman looked worried as I walked up. "Hey don't worry. They're uh.. Contacts!" I tried to explain enough to convince them. "Where is Virgil?" Roman asked. I froze, the picture of Virgil in his current state flashing through my mind. "He is uh.. Sick! He had to go to the hospital. It wasn't pretty." That was the worst thing to say, because now theu were freaking out. "Hey he will be okay babes! Calm down!" They seemed to calm a bit. "Well, let's go visit him!" Patton suggested, earning a nod from Roman.

    I looked to Logan for help, hoping he would see the panic in my eyes. Thabk god he did. "Guys, I think it best we let Virgil rest. Why don't you guys head home while I talk to Remy here?" Roman and Patton visibly sighed before walking over to Patton's house. I quickly ushered Logan inside. "Okay, what the hell is going on?" Logan asked. "Something happened im HQ last night. A reaper named Jackyl went rouge and started taking souls left and right. While Virgil was out, he ran into him and got attacked." Logan went wide eyed. "He was struck with the corrupt sythe and now he is all crazy looking and almost... Demonic. We don't know the cure yet.." I explained, tears slipping out of my eyes. I guess it looks pretty cool when I cry, because the tears come out of the skull's eyes. I saw Logan take notes.

    "Is there anyway you could take me to your home base so I could see Virgil?" I scratched the back of my neck. "I don't know Lo. I could talk to Thomas.." He raised an eyebrow. "Who is Thomas?" I sighed. "Thomas is what you mortals call god. Ill give him a call."
I pulled out my phone, calling Thomas.

    "What is it Rem?" He said, obvious exhaustion showing through his voice. "Virgil's human friends are starting ti catch on Thomas. What should we do?" I felt like trash. I heard him sigh. "We have no choice but to tell them about all of us. They have a right to know what's going on. Gather them at Virgil's place and Ill be there in an hour." Thomas then hung up. I turned to Logan. "Go get Roman and Patton. We have to tell them about reaper kind." Logan nodded, fixing his glasses before leaving the house.

    After he left, I felt the passed couple days catch up with me as my eye lids grew heavy. I flopped down on the couch, falling asleep as soon as I hit the cushions.

   I got woken up to Thomas shaking me. I sat up and noticed the three mortals standing behind him, confusion on Patton and Roman's face. Thomas turned to face them. "As you know, Virgil is 'sick', but it's more complicated than that. Remy, wings out." I nodded, getting up and stretching out my wings. Roman and Patton gasped. "Remy, Damian, and Virgil are gods of death. Grim reapers as you mortals say. I am the god. Virgil is in trouble." Thomas said flat out. Patton nodded, but Roman just stared. "Virgil's a... He's..?" Roman questioned, in complete shock. "Roman. We don't have time to talk, we have ti get to Virgil." Logan said, snapping Roman out of his thoughts. "Wait.. Logan did you know about all this?" Patton asked. Logan simply nodded. "We have to go now. Are you guys ready to see your friend?" The three nodded. "Alright. Two of you on my back and one on Rem's." Logan and Patton climbed onto Thomas and Roman rode on my back.

    On the way I whispered to Roman. "He doesn't look good Ro. Brace yourself..." Roman gulped and nodded, holding onto me a bit tighter.

Remy got serious
