Hello guys! Long time no word! Sorry about that I've been busy. I've decided to rewrite "Crash and Burn" as well as branch off from the story idea, going along the lines of the kid's recovery and the reactions of others. Warning to those who haven't read the original "Crash and Burn" this is sadstuck and there is character deaths. There might be triggers too regarding car crashes too. Just want to warn people just in case. I do not own Homestuck characters.
Chapter One
"LARP, LARP, LARP, LARP!" voices chanted as four teenagers piled into the car.
"Quiet down!" Vriska hissed as she climbed into the driver's seat. She adjusted the hem of her costume and buckled her seatbelt.
"How far away is the convention?" Terezi asked from the back seat, her petite body bouncing up in down in the seat.
"The GPS says that it's about a two hour drive to the hotel." Aradia answered, buckling herself in the front passenger side of the vehicle.
"Uh, did Nepeta say if she could come, or?" Tavros asked from his seat next to Terezi. Vriska rolled her eyes and started up the car.
"No," she replied "Equius told her she shouldn't come. Worried about strangers at the convention center and all that." She started to back out the drive way onto the street. The street she lived on was a busy road in their neighborhood so she always had to be extra careful when backing out of the drive.
Vriska saw her mom wave from the front window of the house and she gave a small smile in her direction. Her older sister was probably off in her room hanging out with her "friend" Meenah. She had a sneaking feeling that there was something more than just friendship between them.
"But isn't Meulin going?" Aradia asked curiously. Vriska gave a small shrug in reply as she drove down the street, making a turn at the stoplight.
"I don't know, probably. She usually goes."
"Nepeta needs to grow a back bone and not go running off to ask Equius every time she wants to do something. He says no to everything!" Terezi pouted "It's like he's afraid of everything."
"Equius doesn't, uh seem the type to be that scared of anything. He's really strong." Tavros put in.
"The strong ones are always the biggest softies." Vriska said "Aradia, what does the GPS say we turn at."
"Take a left at Main Street." she said checking the directions.
"Are we there yet?" whined a voice from the back seat. Vriska felt her face twitch in annoyance.
"No, Terezi. We are not there yet." she growled, her eyes straining to see the road as it was getting dark outside. About an hour into the trip the GPS crashed and refused to link to the satellite, leaving the party of teenagers lost and confused. The trip should have taken them a mere two hours of driving but they were now well into the fourth hour. Everyone was getting on each other's nerves at this point.
"How much longer?" Terezi continued to whine, making a fuss in the back seat. Aradia was sleeping soundly in the passenger seat, long ago fall unconscious. Tavros was busying himself with a video game trying to keep himself from annoying Vriska further. He feared the mighty wrath of Serket if he were to speak up.
Vriska turned around and to look at the whiney girl in the back seat and glared "Will you just shut up!? We'll get there when we get there!"
"Vriska watch out!" Tavros screamed looking up in terror at something in front of them. Before she could turn back around Vriska heard the loud horn of a truck and then a crash. The pain was excruciating and swift, she was knocked out in seconds.
When Vriska came to she found herself in the crushed interior of her car.. Blood was running down her face and into her eyes. Pain was exploding on the left side of her body, she couldn't feel her arm and thought it must have been broken. Her left eye was swollen shut and bloody, she tried reaching up to wipe it away but her arms were pinned by her sides.
"I can't see, I can't see," she heard whimpering from behind her. She tried moving her head but failed to do so.
"Terezi-" she groaned, her breathing painful and heavy. "Terezi are you okay?" she called out as loud as she could raise her voice.
"Vriska I can't see anything," Terezi cried. "I can't move!"
"I can't either," Vriska said. She was able to turn her head slightly to the right and out of the corner of her eye saw Aradia, bloody and unconscious in the passenger seat. At least she hoped she was only unconscious. She couldn't tell if she was still breathing.
"Aradia is out cold, I can't tell if she's breathing. Tavros are you okay?" she got a low moan of pain in reply.
"Don't worry guys, we're alright, we're alright," Vriska continued; her mind felt foggy and her vision was blurring. Somewhere close she heard sirens in the distance, she felt herself blackout before she heard anyone arrive to the scene.
