INTRODUCTION

Hello my name is Vortex Captor, I am a purple blood. Yes, you might be wondering how my blood color is higher than Sollux's, I was what the humans call 'adopted' by him because my Lusus was killed when I was a very young age. My lusus died when I was around 3 sweeps old (7 earth years) yeah I know that sucks, so Sollux took me under his wing. I don't understand why people discriminate blood color, it doesn't really matter. Especially since Karkat has to hide his blood color, it's harder than it looks, you have to not cry, blush, or get hurt in front of ANYONE. My friends include: Edelyn Ampora, Karkat Vantas, Eridan Ampora, Nepeta Leijon, Vriska Serket, Feferi Peixes, and Tavros Nitram.

CHAPTER 1

I bang on the alarm clock for the fifth time rolling over yawning "Oh my gog SHUT UP!" I yell to the alarm clock knowing it wouldn't speak back, that would be crazy! I get up (really just falling out of bed) and take off my pajamas & pull on my attire of black & purple striped leggings under jean shorts and a black T-shirt with a purple jacket pushed up to the elbows if it's warm. I go in to the bathroom and comb my jet black hair that all trolls have being careful of my hooked horns, they are pointy, I mean seriously i cut my hand once combing my hair...it hurt. I them brush my teeth quickly gog those things are pointy well they are useful for biting things..heh heh. I then grabbed some toast and just put it in my mouth, taking care not to bite through the toast fully yet I pull on my black knee high combat boots. Those boots are like my babies I wear them EVERYWHERE, my best friend Edelyn , I call her Ed, gave them to me a few sweeps ago on my wriggling day.

I run outside now eating the toast, the hard surface rolls over my tongue as I walk eating. I look at my watch, 9:30 oh well it takes about 30 minutes to get to the shore. Oh I forgot to mention..my best friend Edelyn is a sea dweller but not just any sea dweller a SIREN. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, you think she's a blood thirsty killer but she's actually the opposite, she is really nice! Although when I first met her I called her a freak and ran off crying thinking I would die if I stayed. But a few weeks later I came again thinking if she were to kill me she would have already did it. Then we became best buds!

I am now running to the shore because I'm cool like that. Oh my god these boots are comfy, so good for running I think as I get close to the shore. I have finished my toast by now and am looking for a boat to use as I spot a somewhat small boat that would fit about 3 people, so I run up to it and pay to rent it and set out for the rock fairly far into the water. "God that was a cheap boat" I whisper to myself as I row " only twenty bucks."

As I near the rock I see my best friend Edelyn.
