Chapter 8: Out Of The Way

"Patton some knights need you're assistance." Coleby entered Roman's chambers in search of the moral trait.

"Of course Coleby!" Patton said as he let go of Thomas. Coleby grabbed Patton's wrist and started to lead him away from the others.

"Wait but Patton is Roman's servant." Virgil said grabbing Patton's other wrist to stop the two. "Why does he need to go work for the other Knights?"

"Oh kiddo I don't mind!" Patton insisted. He felt trapped between to two and lightly tried to pull his wrist away.

"My apologies but the Knights asked for Patton. I don't question why I just follow orders. My orders were to get Patton." Coleby explained. His grip on Patton's wrist got tighter in his irritation but Patton pretends to not take notice. "Actually I think one of the advisory members wanted to meet with Sir Logan about something so why don't you two go see them."

"Come on guys. Let's not fight over me. I know I'm irresistible but come on!" Patton joked while tugging his wrist again. Virgil quickly let go when he noticed.

"Come on Patton." Coleby said. He again lead Patton away and out the door. Patton heard Logan say something about him and Virgil going to speak to the advisory member.

"You can let go you know?" Patton said looking at his wrist. "Or we could hold hands! Whatever works for you!" Coleby lets go of Patton's wrist and continues walking. After awhile Patton spoke up again. "So where are the Knights?"

"Though here." Coleby said opening a door and letting Patton walk in first.

"I don't understand this is a closet." Patton says turning to Coleby who was smirking at the door.

"I know." Coleby slams the closet shut and Patton hears the distinct sound of a lock.

"Umm Coleby? Could you let me out? I'm not really a fan of the dark." Patton says trying to see in the dark closet. Without the door open no light filtered into the small room.

"I can't. I need you out of the way for awhile." Coleby said.

"You could have just told me to leave. No need to lie." Patton said trying the door handle but not getting a result.

"You see the thing is lying is my specialty." Patton hears footsteps leaving outside the door. He takes a moment to understand what Coleby was saying before letting out a gasp.

"DECEIT. GET BACK HERE. LET ME OUT!" Patton yelled. From a distance Deceit could be heard chuckling lightly. "HELP! LET ME OUT!" Patton banged on the door trying to get out or get someone's attention but no one came. After about an hour of banging Patton stopped and cried. His hands hurt and he could tell they were going to bruise. He needed to get out and find Deceit before he did anything. He tried to think about what Deceit could want. He realized that Deceit had sent Logan and Virgil out as well so his target is either Thomas or Roman. While he knew they could hold their own in a fight he was still concerned about him manipulating his friends. With even more panic and adrenaline Patton started to ram into the door keeping him trapped in the closet. His shoulder burned in pain but he heard hinges giving away and kept shoving. The door snapped off and Patton burst out clutching his shoulder. He had to find Deceit quickly and the first place to look would be Roman's chambers where Patton had last seen the others.
