(The dark sides. Anxiety: middle, Deceit: arm around Anxiety, Anger (andy): crouching in a red tie, Lonliness: green shirt, Lust: bottom)

(Warning: kidnapping, swearing, violence)

     (Virgil's POV)
  Its go time. Roman and Logan were up helping Thomas with the video and Patton was in his room. 'I just need to get him in the kitchen and distracted so the other dark sides can get him from behind.' I thought, pacing in my room.

     'Then the plan will be in motion.' I thought again, stopping my pace and taking a deep breath. "Deceit, Lonliness, Anger, Lust! Come on!" I summoned the others, only Deceit had seen the Light mindscape. The others adjusting to the lighter atmosphere.

     "Im going to get him into the kitchen and distract him so you four can grab him. The imagination is set up already so you should just be able to take him into the castle dungeon." I informed them, feeling the anxiousness kick in more.

     The four dark sides nodded. "You will hear me say 'Patton-Cake'. That's when you come and take him. He will put up a fight, but so help me god if you hurt him... You will be pushed into the void faster then Depression was..." Lonliness and Lust shivered at my words. Not a moment I'm proud of...

    I walked out of my room and casually walked over to Patton's, knocking softly. He opened the door and peeked out. "Virgil! What do you need kiddo?" Patton asked with a smile. "I was wondering if we could make pancakes." I said in a peppy way.

    Patton squealed and grabbed my hand, dragging me into the kitchen. Im glad he didn't notice my wince.

    He began pulling out things as soon as we got in the kitchen. I stood on the inside of the kitchen by the stove as he paced around the middle of the kitchen to collect supplies. "Hey Pat." I spoke up. 'Lets do this...' I thought.

    "Yes kiddo?" Patton turned his back to the entrance of the kitchen to face me. "So are these 'Patton-cakes'?" I asked, saying Patton-cake loudly. Before Patton could respond, Deceit placed a hand over his mouth as Anger grabbed around his waist. Patton yelped, trying to fight to get away.

    I watched as he kicked and punch, but failed after Lonliness and Lust grabbed his arms and legs, Deceit losing grip of his mouth. "Virgil?! What's going on?!" He yelled in a panicked voice. I looked away, I couldn't watch.

    "LO-" before Patton could summon anyone, Deceit gagged him. They dragged him away to the imagination, leaving me in the kitchen alone. "Step on complete..." I mumbled, pulling a note out of my pocket and stabbing it to the wall with a knife.

    After leaving the note behind, I walked to the imagination to wait for the light sides to show.

  ~Time skip to a few hours later~

     (Third person POV)
  Logan and Roman popped up in the Commons after finishing the video. "Another day complete!" Roman exclaimed dramatically. "I wouldn't be so sure of that..." Logan trailed off, staring at the wall. "What do you-" Roman cut himself off, seeing a piece of paper knifed to the wall.

    He walked over and pulled it off the knife, reading it out loud. "If you wish to see Patton again, come to the imagination amd be prepared to fight." He read, his voice cold and confused. Logan was visibly angry, clenching his fists. "Who wrote it..?" Logan asked in a low voice. "... The dark sides" Roman said with an equally low voice.

    The two quickly rushed to their rooms, Roman grabbing his sword and Logan grabbing a book that read "novice to advanced spells". They met back up in front of the imagination doors, giving eachother a glance before opening the door.

Just gonna end it there.

It about to get crazy up in this bitch.

Brace yourself for a lot of violence and sadness.
