Aradia: oh hello! the wonderful author would like you to know that she does not own Homestuck but Andrew Hussie sure does! anyways read on! OuO
Sollux: um yeah. read this.
Sollux Captor awoke on the ground with a splitting head ache and red and blue spark coming from his eyes. He also, for some reason, was lying on the ground, surrounded by the rubbles of a building . "Ugh..." He groaned, rubbing his eyes. "W-what the hell? I thought I was coding thome-" Before he could finish, Sollux felt a familiar ringing in his head. Weird. Usually I only hear this when Vriska- oh shit! Whenever Vriska mind-controlled someone, it ended badly. Not to long ago, the spiderbitch had paralyzed Tavros by making him jump off a cliff, which was fucked up even for her. Sollux then became aware of the sticky, golden substance on his hands. "Thhe made me eat the fucking mind-honey?!" That was really bad. If Vriska had made him eat the mind-honey, she must have made him do something awful.
Under closer observation, Sollux realized that he hadn't demolished a building, but a hive. "Thhit!" He exclaimed "She made me k-kill someone..?" Okay, now Vriska's gone crazy! I know she vengeful as hell, but this is too far! Sollux tried to reassure himself. Maybe no one was home. Maybe who ever lived there was dead and no one know yet. After all, the hive did appear to belong to a burgundy blood and- "AA!" His matesprite had mentioned getting revenge from Vriska, though she didn't tell Sollux much. He thought he heard Aradia mumble something about, "raising the dead." Sollux felt sick with dread. If Aradia really had sent the dead to haunt Vriska, she wouldn't let it slide. "Oh god pleathe not her! Not Aradia!" Sollux kept repeating that as he lifted the ruins of the hive, his heart pounding. Clouds of dust formed and Sollux coughed. When it finally cleared, his heart practically stopped. "NOO!" There, in a pool of her own blood, was Aradia Megido.
"AA!"Sollux ran towards his matesprite (even though she'd probably be a foot away from him.) and knelt besides the Aries, gently pulling her into his arms. "A-Aradia..?" His voice hitched. "P-please, wake up!" Sollux shook her lightly, tears falling down his face. As much as it pained him to accept, Aradia was dead. Her eyes were glazed over, her head lolled back, her arms and legs had burns and cuts, her skirt was peppered with holes, and she was covered in blood. "AA," The Gemini whimpered, at loss for words. There was so much he wanted to say to his matesprite. How sorry he was. How muck he loved her...
For a few minutes, it was silent, save the breeze of wind. Just Sollux holding Aradia. Then, Sollux let out a shattering scream. He lifted the ruins of Aradia's hive up with his psionics, but he was too heartbroken to notice or care. "ARADIAAA!" He cried out into the night. She's gone. Forever. WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY?! Sollux calmed down and dropped ruins, his head pounding. "A-Aradia," He said, his voice hoarse from screaming. "I know you can't hear me, but I'm thorry! I'm tho damn thorry! I know I Vrithka wath controlling me, but thith ith thtill my fault!" He looked at her again and sniffled.
Sollux recalled his memories of Aradia: meting her, talking to her, telling the worst-best puns, going on digs with her,going on digs, the way she beamed when she found a new bone for her collection, her smile and laugh... He would do just about anything to hear her laugh at that moment. Sollux ran a hand throgh Aradia's thick mane of hair, ignoring that it was matted with blood. "No matter how much of an athhole I wath, no matter how much I complained about my life, you alwayth thtayed with me. You were the only one who underthood how it felt hear voiceth in your head. If I could have a do-over, I would've been a better matethprite, I thwear! I withh I had told you thith more, but I love you tho much, Aradia..." With that, Sollux buried his head into Aradia and wept. Unknown to him, Aradia's ghost had been there the whole time...
Hi! After rereading this, I thought it could use some work. I'm sorry that it's still pretty short and that Sollux is kind of ooc. This is my first Homestuck fanfic so don't judge to hard! I still might make that second chapter with Aradia! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading this! Please tell me how I did in the reviews! I will take constructive criticism but no flames please. Have a great day/night! OuO
