So I was gonna write about Teen Wolf for NaNoWriMo, but then Homestuck happened and TW went out the window. So now I'm just uploading as I go along, and hoping that I end up with enough material to hit the word count!
"We're not gonna hug it out this time bro, I'll tell you that much right fucking now!" How could he? He had Terezi, he was hurting her, how dare he! Karkat couldn't think straight. He was filled with oh so familiar rage, and all of it was directed at Gamzee. He was terrified out of his mind that Gamzee might kill her before he got there. He had to run. He had to just keep running, get there as fast as he could. Only later would he realise he'd overtaken Kanaya, even with her drinker speed. Karkat hesitated a moment - this was Gamzee. His former moirail. He still cared for the kid, even if he was batshit insane - and then jumped, ready to kill.
White hot pain shot through him. Karkat barely had time to register it, before Gamzee pulled back and stabbed him again with Terezi's cane. He didn't notice he'd dropped his sickle. He didn't realise what was behind him, that Gamzee had pushed him, until he was falling.
Karkat's vision was already starting to fade from blood loss, but he could see Gamzee at the top of the cliff, red rage in his eyes. And then he hit the lava. It hurt more than anything he'd ever felt. He reached his hand up in a last ditch survival attempt, but everything was already darkening, disappearing, gone.
Callie wasn't sure how to react. She and Jade had been all alone in the void, when suddenly everything changed colour, and a troll (an actual troll!) appeared from the darkness, stumbled in, and landed face first on the floor.
"Karkat?" Jade asked, pushing herself off the stage and running forward to help.
A groan.
"Are you okay?"
A more irritated sounding groan.
"... What happened to you?"
Karkat pushed himself up onto his elbows. His eyes were blank.
"Gamzee."
Callie recognised him now. He was one of the companions of the author of her tome, the mysterious RL. She didn't recognise the name Gamzee, though. Potentially a new enemy? Or maybe someone who'd been redacted from the journal? She realised she'd been zoning out of the conversation, and this actually interested her.
"So then Kanaya and I finally got to where the action was but... Gamzee was hurting Terezi and I... He was going to kill her! I had to do something! And...he..." Karkat swallowed hard, clearly too traumatised to continue his story. Jade just nodded understandingly. "It's okay. You're safe now." "I'm dead, Jade." "It's really not as bad as it seems, you know. It's kinda fun!" Calliope stepped from the shadows. "Karkat, this is Callie!" Jade said, introducing the two. "You're a...limeblood?" Karkat asked, confused. "I thought they all went extinct." "They...did." Callie explained, blushing. "I'm not actually a troll. But I love your culture, and I'd much rather look like this if you don't mind."
Karkat shrugged, staring at nothing in particular. Jade and Calliope looked at each other, then decided it was probably best to give him some space. Jade desperately wanted to ask if he knew what had happened to her - was she dead or asleep? But it was probably best to wait. Karkat didn't look at all up to answering questions at the moment. Not long after, however, the hue of the void once again shifted.
"Woah, what's happening?" Karkat asked nervously. Jade assured him it was okay, that it meant someone else was joining them. "Fuck. Does that mean that asshole killed more people? Fuck. What if it was Terezi? Or Kanaya? Or-" "Karkat, calm down! There's nothing you can do about it. You just have to wait and see."
