"You stupid albino!" he called in his fit of drunken rage.
As Karkat slowly backed away from the scene, too frightened to say any apologies of any kind, Gamzee turned around slowly.
Karkat finally managed to choke out a few stuttered words. "I-I'm….I'm so-orry Gamz-z-zee….." he said with a pained voice. Gamzee had punched him in the throat, and that's probably about all he was going to talk for a while.
Gamzee's expression turned even angrier. He bared his teeth and let out a low growl. "I….am NOT finished with you yet!" he lunged at Karkat, who desperately tried to get away, despite his critical condition. He didn't get to move very far, although, because Gamzee grabbed his feet and pulled him closer. "You are a disgrace to everyone, you little piece of shit! No one will ever love you! You're a FREAK!" he screamed as he repeatedly kicked Karkat in the stomach.
Karkat sputtered out some blood, calling for help. His eyes were red and puffy from crying the moment Gamzee got home. As tears fell down his bruised face, he called again. "Some-…one…he-*choke*elp!"
Gamzee stopped. He looked around and out the window to see if anyone dared to watch this. He paused for a minute, then smiled when he realized there were no spies. He walked back over to his victim and knelt down. Karkat didn't dare look up, for fear he'll get enraged again. "Now, listen here, best friend." Gamzee said in a weirdly calm voice. He smiled and said, "No one's ever…..EVER…..going to hear you in here." he spoke, adding emphasis on the second "ever". He smiled again at Karkat, and lifted the albino's chin with his finger.
The victim resisted, but battered and broken, Karkat looked up and Gamzee, his pleading eyes desperately trying to make Gamzee realize what he was doing. That only made Gamzee smile more and kick Karkat hard in the stomach one last time.
"You're not going to school tomorrow looking like that," Gamzee continued. "I'll get you some makeup." and with that, Gamzee was out the door to find some cover-up for Karkat.
As much as he wanted to, as much as he so desperately needed to, Karkat didn't dare pick up the phone to dial the authorities. No, never was he going to do that. He was terrified Gamzee would either come into the room or get home at the wrong time.
It wouldn't work out anyway. Karkat could not get up in his condition. He lifted himself up only to find that a horribly sharp pain hit him in the chest. He collapsed onto the floor in pure pain again, banging his head against the hard, concrete basement floor. He gasped and bared his teeth at the pain, but kept silent. He took a deep breath and rolled to his side, only to find another flesh wound stinging at his side. He winced loudly and rolled over onto his back again quickly, closed his eyes, and started to sob.
