So, this story is the product of an insomniacs mind at 4 am. I have been on T!Mode kick for about a week now and decided to end it (at least for a while, with a multi-chapter gore story. And if you guys know me, you should know I absolutely hate chapter stories. So if you're gonna read this, you better like it. And please mind the spelling or punctuation errors, again 4 am here, I did my best. Anyway Disclaimer- I do not own Homestuck or any characters of homestuck that I may have used in this story. It all belongs to Hussie. Including you and I, he has taken over our minds and souls. Enjoy 3


Chapter one- It started out as a lick.

For a certain little troll, it was just a normal day or so he though. Karkat Vantas walked out of his hive- er, house, as the humans called it. He took a breath and stepped off his porch. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and started on his walk. He did this every day, to help calm himself from the night terrors he'd have the previous night from the game. Oh how he wished he had never heard of that game.

Karkat sighed and looked up at the sky. It was about mid day according to the position of the earth sun. Karkat wasn't used to being out during the day, considering on his planet if you went outside during the day you would get fried to a crisp. He frowned at the thought, missing his home on Alternia. Karkat sighed again and look back to the scenery around him. Apparently while he was lost in his thoughts, he had taken a wrong turn and some how ended up in the woods. He mumbled under his breath and slumped over. He was about to turn around and go back the way he thought he came until he heard something. He lifted his head and look off into the direction of the deeper part of the forest. Against his better judgement, he started to walk toward the fain sound, not knowing of what horrors were about to be bestowed upon him.

After a few minutes of aimless walking, Karkat growled and sat down against a tree trunk. "Stupid fucking think pan playing tricks on me. Must be from lack of fucking sleep," Karkat mumbled to himself and raked his fingers through his hair, mindful of his horns. He let out a sigh and leaned his head back against the tree. He was just about to stand up and leave the gog forsaken forest until something hit him in the head. He fell over and groaned, rubbing the spot on his head where the mysterious object hit. He growled and stood up, looking for whoever threw the item. He huffed and looked next to him and what he saw, for lack of better words, baffled him. Lying on the ground, jut a few feet away from him, lay a very large (lager than his face) green lollipop with a red swirl.

Karkat scowled and walked over to it. He bent over and picked it up, examining it. He looked it over on both sides with an un-amused look on his face. Who the fuck throws a gigantic ass lollipop at some random dude in the forest? Karkat was going to toss it behind him and forget about the whole thing, but like earlier when he heard the voice, he looked back at the over sized sugary treat. It was as if the thing was calling out to him, begging for him to lick it. Karkat knew it wasn't a good idea and yet still, he couldnt' bring himself to toss the candy. He just kept staring at it like he was placed under a spell.

Then before Karkat could blink in his trance-like state, he stuck his tongue out and leaned forward and gave the two toned sucker one long lick, from bottom to top. (← a/n lol naughty mind) His eyes widened at what he had just done. He was about to toss the damn treat when a wave of dizziness washed over him and his mind felt fuzzy. His vision blurred and the last thing he saw was the cursed sweet.

Karkat awoke with a pounding headache. He groaned and placed a hand to his head. He looked around and saw he was in his living room, on his couch. Could it have been that the whole lollipop thing in the forest was nothing but a dream? Of course not, nothing in fanfictions like this are ever 'just a dream'. Karkat sat up only to realize he had one of his sickles in his hand. He peered at it and the promptly tossed it away as he realized it had blood on it. It looked as to be human blood. He then scrunched up his nose as the smell of blood was rather strong and rather close. He looked down at himself and gasped in shock. His sweater was torn and he was covered in blood. But the worst part was, it wasn't his blood. Karkat heard a strangled gasp and slowly turned around to face the mangled, borderline dead body of none other than the "cool kid" David Elizabeth Strider. Karkat shrieked and rushed over to his friend who was clutched in the icy hands of death. "D-dave, what the fuck happened?" Karkat asked, starting to cry. Dave choked on his own blood in his mouth and lifted a weak hand to the far wall, before the hand slumped to the floor and the Strider took his final breath.

Karkat was bawling at this point, hugging his lifeless friend's body. He kept muttering for Dave to wake up, and how he would kill the Strider if he didn't listen. But his words fell upon deaf ears. He stopped speaking and lifted his head, looking over to where his friend had pointed to. Placed gently on the wall, was the lollipop that Karkat had been hit with only a short while ago. Karkat started to cry again. What happened after he had passed out? He had a feeling that the stupid bi-coloured piece of trash across the room had something to do with this mess. Karkat growled and stood up and stomped over to the candy. He picked it up and was about to shove his fist through the damn thing, until that same feeling came across him. He lowered his clenched fist and stared at the confectionery in his hand. He couldn't stop himself, no matter how hard he wanted to, to pull away as he brought his face closer in to the thing. Just before he licked it again, the light flickered on it and Karkat saw his reflection, only it wasn't him. Well it was but this 'Karkat' had brown hair, red eyes, bright orange swirls on his pale skin. The reflections mouth was turned into a sickeningly sweet grin but the strangest part was, the reflection had candy corn littered in its messy hair. Karkat's eyes widened and struggled to pull away but it was too late. His tongue had touched the candy and just like before, he swayed and fell to the ground before becoming unconscious.
