BLOODSTUCK?
Chapter 1 An Unwanted Visitor
The date is October 12th, 2012. The weather is chilly, strong winds blow now and again sending colorful leaves twirling about. You're staring out your bedroom window, your name is John Egbert, and you're seventeen years old soon to be eighteen. There are a large variety of noises coming from downstairs, you guess it's probably dad cleaning the house or something. Every year around this time dad throws a large party inviting all your relatives and family friends, you don't really mind it, but it does get rather tiring after a while. There's a knock at the door, "come in" you sigh heavily before turning around and facing your sister.
Jade smiles at you before coming in, causing you to raise an eyebrow in curiosity; she never really comes in your room, unless it's to tell you something important. "The guests will be here soon, don't you want to come down?" she asks in her usual tranquil voice. "You know I hate parties" you stuff your hands in your pockets and rock back and forth steadily. She rolls her eyes and shakes her head probably wondering what the hell was wrong with you. Jade was younger than you by five minutes, but by the way she acted you could have sworn she was five minutes older than you and then some.
You smile and allow a small chuckle to arise from the back of your throat. "I know I know, I'm crazy" you give a small smile, "No, not crazy just…confusing" her voice is different now; it's not happy or soothing anymore but full of worry and seriousness. "How so?" you take a step closer to your twin and place a hand on her shoulder encouraging her to look up from the floor which she had looked down at somewhere in the middle of your conversation. She looks up at you, "You're always so alone, I'm not stupid…I know you must be sad and lonely" her eyes have sadden by now, you've never really seen your sister like this before. You give a small smile before leaning your forehead against her own.
"I assure you I'm fine" you give a small smile that anyone who knew you would identify as your 'fake smile'. Jade being your twin and all definitely knew better, "John Egbert! Don't you dare give me a fake smile! Of all people!" Jade cried out in a hurt and exasperated voice. You laughed nervously; "Okay okay" you hold your hands out in front of you showing you meant no harm. Jade rarely got mad, but when she did you swore it was as if all hell broke loose. Her face softened a bit before she exhaled slowly, "I just don't want to see you sad anymore" you patted her head reassuringly and grinned hearing a small growl of annoyance elapse from her lips.
"I'm fine really, head down to the party…I'll be down in a bit" you watched as she walked out of your room and shut your bedroom door behind her. You looked at yourself in the mirror, Jade was right, you did look rather down. You ran your fingers through your raven black tresses before looking down at your shirt and slowly unbuttoning it revealing thin scratch lines and purple marks. You had been a mess last night, after giving up your innocence to the girl of your dreams she crushed your heart as if you were nothing but a worthless insect. The girl's name was Vriska Serket, she knew you liked her, but you didn't find that out until recently.
She had played you from the beginning, and yet the longing feelings you had for her wouldn't go away. You closed your eyes and whispered her name; a small shiver ran down your spine, something that usually happened when you heard her name or when you saw her. "Aww is Egderp going through a break up?" you cringed at the monotone voice that ran through the air before turning and facing the unwanted visitor.
