The Phantom, Chapter 1

The Debate

The sides were all in the mindscape now, even in Deceit, who had gone out to get himself some ice cream. They all highly doubted that he was doing that, considering he had been gone for the past week. But, hey, at least Thomas hadn’t been lying.

“What was so important that you had to yank me back into the mindscape?” He growled from where he was hanging upside down from the hanging light on the ceiling. Patton sighed up at him.

“Deceit, please come down from there.” “No.”

Logan rubbed his forehead. “Deceit, this is serious. Thomas’s neighbor might-”

“-be a freaking psychopath?!” Virgil exploded as he leapt from the couch.

“Geez, this must be important.” Deceit snorted. “I think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard you yelling.”

“Have you been around him when Thomas is at a party.” Roman deadpanned.

“Everyone, focus!” Patton said. “This is serious! Deceit,” he looked at the side, “Thomas has a neighbor. His name is Nathan, and he’s really nice! But, when Thomas went over to give him cookies-”

“You made him cookies?” Deceit said flatly. Patton bristled.

“LET ME TALK.”

Deceit actually shut up.

“Virgil was out, just in case he had his own sides that we could meet!” Patton went on. “Well, no one showed up for a long time. Thomas and Nate were talking, eating the cookies, Nate was being such a real gentleman and he was being so kind and Thomas invited him over for dinner- shut up Deceit- but then Virgil saw him!”

Virgil jumped into the conversation, explaining the man he had seen quickly and the darkness that he had felt coming off of him. ‘”Excuse me,” Deceit said, sounding very, very offended. “Did you just say that he was more scary then me?”

“It’s not an impossible feat, Deceit.” Logan said flatly.

“Guys, please!” Patton said. “If that’s Nate’s main side, what kind of person is Nate?!”

“Maybe he’s a sweet guy! He might not be evil!” Roman said.

“You’re just defending him because you think he’s cute!” Virgil shouted angrily.

“Well mayBE! Is that a crime?!” Roman growled.

“It is if he ends up hurting Thomas!”

“Guys, we have to remain calm!” Patton said.

“Remain calm?!” Virgil squeaked. “Thomas is having him over for dinner! DINNER! What if he tries to kill him?! Or have HIM for dinner?!”

“You’ve watched too many horror films.” Deceit said blandly. Virgil glared at him.

“That’s because you keep telling Thomas that ‘this one won’t be as scary!’“

“Maybe that wasn’t even his main side!” Roman said, pulling the conversation back to the problem at hand. “Virgil isn’t Thomas’s main side but he was still out.” Deceit glanced at Patton, who sighed.

“No, kiddo... That was his main side alright...” He muttered, before he looked over towards the armchair. “Logan,. what-” He stopped and blinked as he saw that Logan was gone.

“Well, maybe he just stands for something that’s bad like Deceit does!” Roman tried. “Maybe he lies a bit too much! Or, maybe, maybe he doesn’t tip!”

Deceit and Virgil stared at him. “Don’t let anyone tell you you’re just a pretty face Roman.” Deceit said with a false smile, showing off his fangs. Roman blinked before he grinned.

“Thanks-! Wait.”

But before he could press further, Logan suddenly appeared, stumbling slightly before he straightened himself up, adjusting his tie. “Where were you?” Patton asked.

“Thomas needed help beginning dinner.” He said. “But, we have a bit of a problem.

Ding dong!

Their heads snapped around, their eyes widening in horror. Well, Deceit looked interested and mildly amused.

“He’s here.” Patton whispered.
