I was never afraid to die.

There was never much that I was afraid of at all, really. I had to be brave, for my friends. I knew no fear! I was a strong girl, and I could defend myself. There was no need for me to fear death, as it would never happen.

Oh the wishful thinking of a child.

As I stare down from the vent, however, a ball of ice forms in my stomach. This can't be happening, can it? What's he doing? No this can't be right. Why would Gamzee do this?

Wait.

Wait no. Equius. Get up.

Equius please.

This is no time for a cat nap, Equius. You have to get up. Come on, Equius.

Please.

Gamzee you will not get away with this. I will kill you before you try to hurt anybody else.

Please just hold on for a second Equius I'll get help after I take care of this.

Gamzee I thought you were our friend.

You even roleplayed with me some times!

But this.

THIS.

Is too far.

I can't forgive you anymore.

Wait what are you doing? Let go of me!

That hurts! Stop! You're going to break my wrist!

Stop it! Stop!

Okay now you're going to get it. Wait put that down.

Stop.

This hurts.

My head is starting to go fuzzy. Equius please wake up. I don't think I can do this on my own. Please help me. Equius come on. You're stronger than this. I know you can do it. Please.

All of the colors are fading together. I'm starting to go numb. It's like there's an ocean in my ears, and all other sounds are drowned out. Except for my ragged breathing.

There's so much blood. I didn't know I even had this much blood.

Where did Gamzee go?

Give me your hand, Equius. Everything is going to be all right. I promise. Our friends will be here soon, don't worry. They'll help us! We'll be all patched up in no time. Maybe we can color when we're all better? This place is so dull, you know. I think some blues and reds would look nice. Maybe we could invite Karkitty and Madame Redglare! Wouldn't that be so fun? I think so.

Karkat, where are you?

Terezi? Can you hear me?

Anybody?

Please help. I'm so scared. I don't want to die.

A/N: Dear goodness this is my first fanfiction in months. Or is it years? I'm still getting back into the swing of things, so yeah. Reviews are appreciated of course.
