The reveal
Thomas looked at Patton with fear evident in his eyes, "Patton buddy, why don't we all just calm down." He spoke, thankfully not stuttering. Patton looked at him hatred, anger, and other emotions Prominent in his eyes, "Calm down? CALM DOWN?" He began to laugh, it slowly turned more and more feminine. Before, appearing behind him like a shadow, was Hatred, "Aww, Sunshine learned what it feels like to be hated, to be unwanted." As she spoke tears welled up in Patton's eyes, before he hastily wiped them away. After he wiped his tears quickly he replaced his sad face with a sneering one, daring anyone to try to get closer. "What did you do to him!" roared a furious Roman. By now, Virgil had heard the commotion downstairs and come to investigate. Hatred smiled darkly, "What did I do? I showed him the truth." The end of her sentence was silky and soft, almost like an angels, but she was far from one of those. Virgil looked at the Hatred wondering who she was before it clicked in his mind.
Hatred placed a hand on Patton's shoulder, he instantly doubled over in pain, her hand however stayed in place. "You will bend to my will." Instead of the gravely voice or the angel voice, this one was far more menacing, and held far more venom. Almost instantly chains began to rise from the ground, they glowed a deep red, almost the same shade as his eyes. They constricted themselves around Patton's neck, forming a collar like thing. The chains yanked him into the air, leaving him to hang by his neck. More chains appeared, latching onto his hands, hanging them as well. The others could only watch in horror as she replaced all his memories with fake lies. "You know, I could keep giving him more fake memories." In her right hand she held a weird orb that glowed a faint pink. "I can also give him back his happy go lucky memories." In her left hand she held a pure white and golden orb, "But where's the fun in that?" With that, she crushed the white and golden orb, dust falling to the floor. Thomas cried out in pain as his happy memories were slowly being erased one by one, as if she was drawing this out, watching him suffer as much as possible.
Logan and Virgil rushed to Thomas, catching him before he fully hit the ground. Roman watched in absolute horror as Patton's metaphorical heart was ripped from his chest. Hatred took the now darkening heart and ripped it down the middle, earning a scream of agony from both Patton and Thomas. The now ripped heart was darkening faster than before, Thomas now clutching his heart region rather than his head. Virgil stood up and faced Hatred, 'How could you do this you monster!" He screamed in anger. Time seemed to slow, Hatred's face falling for a split second before she smirked once again, "Me? A monster? Dear, I'm just what I was made to be. A NIGHTMARE." She looked at Virgil, blowing him a kiss before disappearing back into Thomas's breaking mind. The chains holding a Patton broke, leaving him to fall to the ground, half awake. Thomas still clutched his heart in pain, but eventually, he found the pain slowly become bearable. Logan, Virgil, and Roman looked at each other before Virgil noticed something out of the corner of his eye. A glowing, white and golden orb.
