Pain.

Now that her thoughts were clear of the anger of revenge her body was racked by waves of pain. Blood poured from her missing limb and ran down her face from her ruined eye. Now her thoughts were becoming clouded not from anger but Pain, she could feel her strength ebbing away with the blue blood.

"Gotta get down stairs," She thought staggering over to the staircase. She slowly dragged herself down the staircase her balance severely compromised by her missing arm. In her weakened state the distance seemed miles away. Finally she stumbled out of her house at the bottom of the ravine separating her house from Equius'.

Looming over her was Spidermom who from the instant she laid eyes on her ward realized something was terribly wrong.

"Mom I…" Vriska started weakly but then fell forward onto her knees then collapsed.

The Giant Spider knew she could not leave her charge laying in a pool of blood carefully Spidermom picked up her limp daughter and carried her up the cliff that housed Equius' house. The spider cautiously tapped the door with a tip of her leg then backed down into her cavernous lair.

"Equius did you hear that?" Nepeta asked her Moirail.

"Yes, perhaps we should investigate the source. Wait here Nepeta." He replied walking down to his door. Upon opening it he looked down and was surprised to see his neighbor he barely talked to Vriska much less saw her. He was even more surprised when he saw the condition she was in, Her left arm and eye completely missing blood pooling on his doorstep.

'Nepeta, Authuor! Please may I have your assistance? "He called into the house. Nepeta bounded over but stopped in her tracks at the sight.

"Equius. …What happened to Vriskers?" She mewed

"I'm not sure." He replied as Authuor picked up the unconscious troll and carried her inside.

Vriska was placed on a table Equius usually used to build robots.

"Nepeta, if you go into the cabinet on the left you should find bandages bring them." He said urgently. His Moirail returned to his side holding the bandages.

"Authuor, help Nepeta bandage wounds after you clean them." He instructed the Lusus nodding as he picked up the anti-septic.

"Why aren't you helping us Equius." Nepeta asked.

"I would if I wasn't sure my help would just end up injuring her more." He responded Nepeta rolled her eyes but went to work anyway.

"Equius come over here and look at this." Equius walked over to the side of the table.

"What?"
"Those look like burn marks on her … well what's left of her arm." Nepeta said pointing.

"Interesting, we'll just have to wait till she wakes." He replied watching Nepeta finish up bandaging the ruined arm. Authuor had finished bandaging her eye.

"You two stay down here and watch her. Let me know if she wakes I need to go talk to someone." Equius said heading upstairs he got out his Husktop.
