He hated sleep. Not because he would rather stay up, but because of the nightmares he had. He would toss and turn in his bed. Wishing he knew what to do, but he couldn't do anything. He sighed and looked at his phone, the time was 2:00am. He shoved his face into his pillow and groaned, wondering if he should even bother sleeping now.
Crawling out of his bed Karkat went to his computer desk and turned on his laptop. Blinking his tired eyes and sighing typing up a message back to the text that has sent a message to him.

AA: hey!
CG: Hey.
AA: can't sleep again? i thought you'd be online.
CG: There you go again, acting like you've known me forever. It's kind of creepy you know.
AA: yeah i know. so?
CG: So what?
AA: what was your dream about? :D
CG: The usual I guess, screaming, crying, anger, stabbings.
AA: specifics karkat, specifics. what did you think up this time?
CG: I don't think I want to talk about it. Maybe I should talk to my dad or mom about this. Hell maybe even my sisters.
AA: your brother?
CG: Ehhh. I don't know about him. He can get a little too, you know, brotherly.
AA: wow, for once i have no idea what you mean by that. wouldn't you want a brother to be brotherly?
CG: Well for starters I don't want a brother.
AA: harsh
CG: I should get back to sleep it's almost three am.
AA: yeah sure, go try to get some sleep.

He groaned and logged out of the messaging system. He should have known Aradia was going to be waiting for him again. For some odd reason she always was. Even though she just moved here and just met him she seemed to care a lot for no reason. He doesn't know why but she's the only one he's been able to open up to. Maybe it's just the kind of personality she has. He stood up and stretched and crawled back to his bed without turning off the computer. He decided he'd be back to it again soon anyway. He closed his eyes to another night of nightmares.
He's running. Dragging someone along and running, he doesn't know why but he is. This someone is a person he's grown up with. There's blood leaking from the back of his head where he hit the wall (and maybe quite a few stairs while heading this way). Then from his mouth where Karkat was frantically trying to fix him and put his teeth back in. There was something wrong about this blood and he just noticed it. It was yellow, those teeth were fangs. Karkat fell back onto his ass, confused and terrified of everything happening. He was in tears and shaking, he couldn't take it. What was happening to him? Looking around a bit he realized something else, his and his friends skin was grey. His friend had horns which caused him to panic and feel at his head, there were some on him too, not nearly as pointy and only two. One on each side. With that he shot awake his twin sister yelling for him to wake up, he held his head and breathed heavy.
"Karkat! We're going to be late, hurry up!" Nepeta was hurrying around the room and getting herself ready. Karkat checked his phone, it was five am and even though he managed to sleep, he did not feel rested at all. He pushed himself out of bed and dragged himself along. Dreading that it was Monday and he had a whole week of hell to go through. He had a feeling it was going to be a long day.
