Karkat was running for what seemed like hours, each step making him more and more desperate for sleep and rest. It was the worst idea to make the rule of no sleeping! That only made it worse for all the other trolls. When they'll sleep though, Gamzee could use his powers over nightmares to get to them. Fucking Gamzee had to go insane. The way he found out, was that he was messaging him about something, and the like. He was probably joking, you thought.

He wasn't.

How this was confirmed, Eridan had entered th room, looking angery. Well, right as he was heading toward Sollux, Gamzee appeared behind him and...Oh Gog, he still couldn't believe it! His best friend, even though he wouldn't admit it, was probably in his red quadrant. And to see him, the Gamzee that would normally talk out your groups problems, WAS KILLING SOMEONE! Right infront of everyone!

Karkat wiped away a tear that was forming, and growled. Hell to the fucking no was he going to let the rest die! Feferi had gotten mad and charged.. She was killed so quickly, you would've missed it if you blunk. Sollux screamed, and used his powers to knock Gamzee back. It gave Kanaya a chance to move, but Gamzee had surprisingly reacted faster than normal, and injured her. Somehow, Karkat had found a way to escape with Sollux and Kanaya. They all found Tavros's body not long afterwards.

Terezi, Nepeta, and Equius were fine, as far as he knew though. He had notified Equius to find Gamzee and slap some sense into him, and to make sure Nepeta wouldn't get herself hurt.

But now, Karkat had lost all of his friends when Gamzee suddenly appeared out of no where. He was covered in blood that may have belonged to Vriska or Equius, but one was Nepeta's. Kanaya was with him after all, and that must've meant it was Equius's blood. The only question was, "HOW THE HELL DID HE KILL BOTH OF THEM?" And the only fucking injury he had looked particularly self inflicted, with Nepeta's claws. Equius was the strongest, and really smart, so it was a miracle that he was defeated... Heh, a fucking MIRACLE, huh?

FUCK miracles!

Karkat heard someone scream nearby. Karkat closed his eyes, cursing loudly as he realized it was Terezi. He ran toward the sound, only to hear a sickening crack. He froze in his tracks, and cursed loudly. "FUCK! TEREZI!" He shouted, and he instantally regretted it. A honk had been made in response to his cursing. That wasn't even the worst part. He was running for so fucking long, his legs did NOT want to fucking MOVE! They just gave out, and you collapsed to the floor. You blunk, fighting back tears that were meant for your most likely one-sided flush crush. "Fuck myself, for not saving anyone. Fuck my legs, so I couldn't run. Fuck my feelings, for making me be afraid and make me want to just die. Fuck EVERYTHING!" He cursed at himself, hearing another honk nearby. Damn, those noises are freaking the living fuck out of him. He pushed himself out, growling, and cursing himself repeatedly. He couldn't run, so he started to quickly walk.

He began to hear someone whispering. He began to walk faser, hoping it wasn't Gamzee's lower tone. It wasn't, thank gog.

It was Kanaya with Sollux. Sollux saw you, and quickly motioned for Karkat to come closer. He did so, almost excitedly. He clenched onto Sollux and Kanaya, almost falling over. "2hiit, kk! You're okay!" Kanaya smiled, and wiped away a jade colored tear. "Yes, So Am I. If You Were To Die, I Think I Would Go Crazy With Anger." He nod, and the shush them, "I heard his honking a minute ago, we need to move fucking right NOW." Karkat said as a harsh whisper.

They helpped him to Kanaya's room. He sat down on a pile of cloth that was too small to use for anything fancy that Kanaya liked to cook up. Sollux sat next to Karkat, panting. Kanaya pulled out a few packs of lipstick, and applied her black one. Sollux raised and eyebrow, but didn't comment. Karkat groaned, looking through his Sylladex. "My scythes are fucking gone. Fucking GONE! I had them in there before Gamzee even started his rampage.. Oh, fucking gog, don't tell me he somehow found some fucking way to fucking get my fucking scythes. Why the shit didn't he get anyone else's though?" Sollux snickered, "Well, kk, diid you pull them out 2ometiime before we met up wiith you?"

Karkat glared at Sollux, who was smirking at him. Kanaya was making sure the lipstuck chainsaws were working. Most graciously from the universe, they did. Karkat sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "So, when the fuck do we head out of this place?" Kanaya turned to him, "Soon, Karkat. We Must Rest Up Before We Head Out. You Two Sleep First, I'll Take First Watch." Kanaya smiled a motherly smile, which made Karkat feel a bit nogalistic, which was foreign to him, because Kanaya hardly smiled like that. Whatever, it didn't really matter all that fucking much.

Karkat laid down, not intending to pass up a chance to get rest. Slowly, he began to drift off into a nightmare.

X-X-X-X

Purple was everywhere. Karkat saw splotches of red here and there, but all of the speckles were consumed by the indigo that represented his best friend. He felt a wave of sorrow pelt him, seeing a dark hole nearby. It was the only way to escape the consuming color, but it drove fear into his mind by even looking at it. He ran up toward the hole, and crawled through. He stood up straight to see the bodies of all his friends. They were all glaring at him, shouting, screaming, crying, and even laughing at Karkat. They were accusing him of their deaths. He went to cover his ears, when he saw his scythe in his hand.

It was covered in a rainbow of blood.

He screamed, and flung down the scythe. It clattered, and everything went silent. He looked around, and his dead friends were gone. He covered his face, and felt some sharp pain somewhere, but he couldn't tell where. Then, something touch his shoulder. He looked up to see Gamzee.

With three purple scars running down his face, with the blood leaking from them overlapping a cherry red blood. Your blood. Gamzee was smiling, and leaned in to whisper, "You know you will always be mine, Karkles."

X-X-X-X

Karkat shot up, panting. Gog, the nightmares were getting worse.. Last time, before this even started, his friends were there, dead, but there and acting normally. They only way he could tell they were dead was when he saw their eyes. Even then though, they never hurt him, or screamed. Though They did start to get a little hostile every now and again.

Kanaya looked over at him, suddenly worried. "Are You Okay Karkat?" She asked gently.. She was one of the only others that knew Karkat was flushed for Gamzee. So did Sollux, but they were the only two that knew at all. He nodded, biting his lip. He wanted to tell her his dream but being the leader, it would be weak.. Wouldn't it? No... No, he wouldn't tell. He didn't need to get her worried even more than she was. "No, I'm very fucking fine, fuckass. I just totally had the best dream about Gamzee going insane. Which it wasn't. I'll go ahead and taking the fucking watch.. Not like I can go back to fucking sleep anyways.." He always had a little rant prepared for anything. Always.

She nodded, seemingly having that motherly understanding. Karkat stood up and she laid down, and fell asleep instantally. He shook his head, and took up one of the chainsaws, just for saftey measures. Karkat leaned back, and the words from his dreamed echoed quietly through his mind, "You know you will always be mine, Karkles." ... Fucking KARKLES! That's a fucking new one.

"Karkles.." Karkat hissed the word. As if he was ever going to be called THAT.
