After King Romulus split, Deceit and Patton had a deal. Give the "bad imagination" to Deceit to be with him and Anxiety in the Dark Side Realm, and Patton keep the "good imagination" to be with him and Logan in the Light Side Realm. But Patton, bei...

Patton screams were muffled by Deceit's gloved hand who clung onto him tightly, ensuring that he couldn't run away.
"Oh, this could be SO much easier if you would just co-operate.." Dee hissed in his ear as Patton kicked and squirmed about, trying to break free.
Deceit then twisted his arm, making Patton cry in pain underneath the fabric of his glove.
"You going to co-operate now?~" Dee murmured, a sinister smirk stretched along his lips.
The moral trait nodded quickly as tears pricked at his eyes from the pain in his arm.
Dee then released his grip after a moment, letting Patton collapse to the ground. He mumbled in pain as the moral side gently clutched his arm. He looked up at the snake-like trait. "W-What do you want?"
"Oh, I think you already know that~"
Patton shook his head realising. "No..no, you can't take him! He—"
"WE had a DEAL, Patton! A DEAL! Nobody, and I mean NOBODY breaks deals with me!!" Dee knelt down, his face now level with Patton's who was cowering against the wall on the floor. "Unless they have a death wish.."
"I-I-I couldn't give him to you!" Patton cried, tears pricking at his eyes. "They were CHILDREN, Dee! He was just a BOY! I d-didn't know what h-horrible things you c-could've done to him! I didn't have a choice!"
"You didn't have a CHOICE?! Ha! Oh, that's a laugh and a half, Patton." Deceit stated sarcastically, then grabbed him by his pyjama shirt. "Of COURSE you had a choice, YOU just made the wrong one."
Patton whimpered in fear, staring Deceit directly in the eyes. Their eye contact was broken as Dee then dropped him by his shirt and stood back up. "And now.." He began, adjusting his gloves. "Now you need to give me what you owe me."
"No.." Patton shook his head, tears now streaming down his face like a river. "No! Please..le-leave him alone! Take me instead! P-Please just leave Remus alone..leave EVERYONE alone. I broke our deal, so I deserve to be punished.." Patton was practically begging now as he lay before Dee's feet, a pitiful sight to see. "Please..just leave my family alone.."
Dee listened to Patton's cries for a few more minutes before speaking himself. "Well, I DO love how you're basically begging at my feet, Patton. But I never said that I was going to take Remus."
Patton looked up, his innocent face blotchy and eyes shiny with tears. "...W-What?" He asked, confused.
"I'm not going to take Remus." Deceit said slowly. "I'm not the kidnapping type. Besides.." He ragged Patton to his feet. "It'll be SO much more satisfying to watch you give him to me willingly. For you to fill your end of our deal.."
Patton pulled away from his grasp, wiping away his tears. "There's no way I would e-ever do that, you're not getting him! He's happy here! With his family!"
"Oh, really? No way at all?" Dee smirked, baring his venomous fangs. "Not even if I mess up Thomas' mind?"
Patton's skin turned white as the blood in his veins ran ice cold. "You..you wouldn't.."
"Oh really?." He smirked in response. "All it takes is a talk from me and I get my shadows from the darkness to come out to play.."
Patton's hand flew to his mouth, terrified of the very thought.
"I'll have them wreck the mindscape, take all of you prisoner, and they'll DESTROY everything in Thomas' mind until there's nothing left. After that, Thomas will almost be...mindless, probably not even aware of his own consciousness, not even able to feel. It'll all be...nothing.."
Patton cried in agony at the thought of this plan, and Deceit didn't even flinch at his screams.
"I'll be back in 24 hours. So I expect to get what I want, Patton." Dee then moved closer and wiped away his tears. "Hopefully you'll make the right decision this time."
Patton's blinked through his tears, his vision slightly blurry, and watched the snake trait disappear in a quick flash of yellow light.
The moral trait collapsed to his knees and cried and cried and cried. It felt like an eternity had gone by, before Patton felt a hand on his shoulder. He gasped and looked up, meeting a pair of bright green eyes.
"How m-much did you hear..?" He whimpered after a moment of silence between them.
The side knelt down and hugged Patton tightly. "Every word.."
Patton then hugged him back, a feeling of guilt welling up in his chest. "I'm so sorry.."
Then at those words, Remus felt his eyes start to prick with tears as well.
