Chapter 2- Trapped

Gamzee's jaw gaped as he stared at the blocked passage. "THiS iS NoT MotHeR FuCKiNG HapPeniNg, ThIS Is NoT MOthER FucKiNG HapPenIng!" Nepeta grabbed Gamzee by the shoulder trying to calm him down.

"Its ok Gamzee I brought plenty of food and-" Gamzee turned and grabbed both of Nepetas arms forcing them against her body.

"FOOD YOU THINK THIS IS ABOUT MOTHER FUCKING FOOD!" He screamed. Nepeta stood there stunned. Realizing that he had startled her Gamzee took control of himself and let her go. "sOrrY, I jUst, i NeED My sLiME."

"Its ok," Nepeta said, her voice shaking. "I'm going to see if Equius is able to help." Nepeta pulled her laptop out of her Sylladex and started messaging Equius. Gamzee stood hovering over her looking at the screen.

33: Equius we need your help.

D-: What do you mean "we?" You're not out with one of those low b100ds are you?

33: Not that it's any of your beeswax, but no I happened to be trapped in a cave with Gamzee, come help.

D-: The High B100d? How did you get trapped?

33: Does it matter?

D-: Well no.

33: Then just get here!

D-: Is something the matter Nepeta you haven't made a single cat pun this entire conversation.

33: It's Gamzee, I think something's wrong, he's not acting like himself.

D-: What previsions does the High B100d need?

33: Slime, bring slime!

D-: I will e%ercise speed and diligence on this mission. Now I just need your location.

33: I just sent it to you.

D-:: I see, this journey will take appro%imately 3 days.

Gamzee's face was now vacant of expression. He stared blankly at the screen for a few moments before taking it from Nepeta.

33: LISTEN HERE MOTHER FUCKER! I WON'T LAST THREE MOTHER FUCKING DAYS I NEED MY MOTHER FUCKING SLIME NOW.

D-: Am I talking to the High B100d now?

33: WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST MOTHER FUCKING CLUE!

D-: My apologies, but even with my fastest mode of travel, the soonest I can be there is 3 days.

Gamzee threw the laptop at the wall, smashing it into pieces. "THAT USELESS PILE OF SHIT!" He grabbed his clubs and charged the blocked passage. He began to pound the boulder, which shook the entire cave, but did not seem to make much of an impact on the bolder.

"Gamzee…" Nepeta said softly. "Gamzee please… you're scaring me." Gamzee snapped around to face Nepeta.

"YOU SHOULD BE SCARED!" There was a brief pause. "I'm SorRY." Gamzee said before taking three identical chains from his Sylladex. Each of them had a sharp end and a shackle end, out of his Captcha Log and handed them to Nepeta. "oNE FoR eAcH hANd, AnD oNE FOr mY nECk."

"What?" Nepeta asked holding the chains.

"PlEAsE, DoN'T QueSTioN mE, jUsT dO aS I aSK. It'S FoR yoUR OWn SaFTy." Gamzee then kneeled by the nearest wall. Nepeta began shake as she cuffed each of his hands and his neck. Then she stabbed the sharp ends into the wall. Nepeta was feeling something she never felt before, fear. She wasn't afraid of Gamzee, but for Gamzee. She wasn't sure why he was acting like this, but she knew that if she could not find a way to stop him, he would most likely destroy himself, along with everyone around him. "WhAT EveR hApPEns NepEtA, I WaNT yOU To PrOtECt YoURsELf. No mAtTEr tHE COsT." Nepeta nodded.

"ProMiSe Me." Gamzee demanded.

"I promise," Nepeta replied a single tear trickling down the side of her face. All through out the night Gamzee made bizarre ear shattering noises, ranging from cackling like a mad man, to weeping uncontrollably. After many hours he finally found himself drifting off to Prospit. Seeing this Nepeta moved in cautiously, being careful not to wake him. When she got close enough, she curled up beside him and nuzzled herself into his arms. "I won't let anything happen to you Gamzee." She whispered just before falling asleep.
