A/N: Hey all! This is another Katnep AU for you all! This time it's in the early 1900's in Ireland :D
Dullahan: A faerie from Irish folklore. She rides around cloaked in black, on a carriage called a coiste-bodhar. She carries her severed head under her arm. If she throws a bucket of blood on you, you are fated to die.
When I woke up, I was not as I should be.
The last thing I recall is seeing Equius being horribly, terribly mangled.
Then my vision went red with anger and pain.
And now I find myself here.
I can see, but not normally. It's a different field of vision.
And my head isn't where it should be. I'm holding it.
I'm sitting in a carriage drawn by a headless horse. A basin of blood is sitting by my feet.
It's an odd vision by any standard.
I hear a loud scream from far off. I make no movement to go, but the horse in front of me rears up into the air and begins to move. We race down the mountain at a breakneck pace that would leave me winded if It were me running. We stop at the foot of the mountain. I see a boy with pitch-black hair standing near the road. The source of the screaming is clinging to his back.
"He is fated to die!" it screams. "He is yours to take!"
The boy falls over in shock. He yells a curse that sounds all-too familiar, before yelling, "A dullahan!"
I will my claws to appear, but instead, a whip appears in my hand. I trip and the basin of blood tips over onto the boy. I manage to right myself, and I attack the strange creature.
I look over to see the boy, his eyes redder than the blood, lose consciousness as the strange creature fades into the black of night.
