I spy something beginning with h...

honk.

HONK.

honk.

     You can hear them in the distance, coming closer, and closer, though you're not sure if that is your imagination or not. You're not sure about much right now, except that your fucking morail has gone completely fucking crazy and is trying to kill everyone.

     You readjust the body in your arms, looking down at Sollux. Dammit, you wish he'd wake up, and make fun of you for the way your knees were shaking, or the fact that you're sweating as much as Equius. Maybe help you get out of this fucked up mess.

     You glance behind you, wondering if you've reached the stairs yet, and too late, you feel yourself tipping backwards as you took a step too many. Sollux weighed you down even more, and together you toppled to the bottom.

HONK.

     You forced yourself to your feet, and looked around with a furtive glance. No one. Thank gog.

     You hear the beeping of a Pesterchum message, multiple messages even. You pull your husktop out of your fetch modus and look at them. Dammit Terezi. You reply to her, but she's gone now. All you can do now is hope that Gamzee doesn't get her.

     You're shaking even more than before, but you go over to Sollux anyway. It's obvious that he hit his head and his teeth fell out, seeing as they are on the floor, and not in his mouth.

     You kneel beside him and make a half hearted attempt to put them back in. You fail, but leave them in his mouth. Not much you can do about it right now.

     You go back to the husktop, and pester Equius. After an almost intolerably frustrating conversation, you think that he might have a chance of stopping Gamzee. Probably not.

     You look around and the lab equipment. What was the point anyway? Everything about some special destiny was stupid. You wish you had never spawned your friends out of the slime if you were all going to die in the most pointless way ever. However, you were interrupted from such thoughts, as behind you was movement.

     You turn to see your friend spitting the teeth out, then standing up.

     "Sollux!" you exclaim, nearly crying out of relief.

     "KK?" he asks, without his usual lisp, "is that you?"

     "Yes, it's fucking me, can't you tell?"

     He shrugs. "I can't see you. Or anything."

     You frown. "Oh."

      "I'm okay with it. I'm going to pester Terezi now."

     You step over to him as he drew his headset out of his fetch modus and began to chat. "Hey, I want to talk to her too fuckass!"

     He paps you and carries on with his conversation. You huff indignantly, then jump.

honk.

     Oh god, oh god, oh god. You'd forgotten the danger, the omnipresent threat to your lives. You began to run and run through the shadowed halls. You weren't even sure where you were going, all you were aware of was the walls streaking beside you and the ever growing fainter calls of Sollux.

     You eventually slow to a stop. You don't know where you are, or where anyone else is. All you know is that your fucking morail has gone completely fucking crazy and is trying to kill everyone.

     You find a room that is completely empty, and squeeze your way into the corner, trying to find comfort in the confined space. It does not work one fucking bit. You can feel your breath wanting to speed up, but you try to quiet it. You don't want to draw him
to you.

On candystripe legs the highblood comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room
And there is nothing I can do
When I realize with fright
That the highblood, is having me, for dinner tonight!

     Just as you have calmed your breathing and have almost convinced yourself that there is nothing to worry about, you distinctly hear footsteps outside the partially agape door. You feel a flicker of hope. Maybe it's Tere-

HONK.

     Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Your heart feels like it's going to burst out of your chest and explode. Your hands are shaking uncontrollably.  You're panting now. You can help it. This is just all too mu-

     The door swings open, and Gamzee walks in, holding clubs splattered in blood. "hello motherfucker," he says.

     You try to push against the wall, but then you realize there's no where to go. He's going to kill you, right here and now, and oh fuck, there's nothing you can do. As a last, desperate act, you pull your scythes out of your strife secubus. You hold them in shaking hands, making your last, worthless stand.

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still, be calm, be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The highblood is having you for dinner tonight"

     He grins madly and faster than you expect, he is beside you, pushes your wrists against the wall. You moan in pain and drop them. He kicks them away and he drops you to the floor with a blow to the shoulder.

     You scream. "Gamzee?! WHY?" you demand of him, trying to hold back tears, at the pain, and at the betrayal.

     He kneels beside you, still smiling disconcertingly. "BECAUSE I AM HIGHER THAN YOU, ALL OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS. I'm fulfilling my motherfuckin calling."

     He hits you again, in the ribs, and all you can feel are pain and self-hate. You coward. You didn't even fight back. He hits you again, in the same spot and you can feel the red tears coming out of your eyes.

     "I AM GOING TO MOTHERFUCKIN KILL ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS."

And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning i will wake up
In the shivering cold

     A rain of blows falls upon your fallen body, and you sob and cry out repeatedly. That is, till you open your eyes, properly, and realize that there is no one there but you, wallowing in tears and fear.

     You sit up, not willing to believe that you had hallucinated all this. You winced as you felt the bruises, those from falling down the stairs and from falling and rolling around sobbing just now.

     You wipe your eyes, still looking around. You think you can still here the honks. But now, you really are sure that you can't trust anything you think is real. All you know is that your fucking morail has gone completely fucking crazy and is trying to kill everyone.

     And that you, Karkat fucking Vantas, are the mostly cowardly fucking coward to ever wet the coward bed. And that sets of another wave of sobbing. You can't help it. You're just tired of all this. You just know that you aren't safe.

And the highblood is always hungry...

     Hungry for more blood, dripping like a miracle of rainbows...
