Chapter 3

==Go and Enjoy Breakfast

Last night's events still haunted you. Nothing could change that.

All you could think about was Aradia's face. And that mural Nepeta painted. Of course it was gorgeous, but also realistic and haunting. It kept you up most of the night. Also the sound of class and bone breaking.

You head to the backyard in hopes to not have to deal with your thoughts. The clouds above provided damp air that made breathing hard. But you had adapted to it living here your whole life.

Nepeta sees you and waves excitedly.

" Gamzee," she calls, " how was your night?"

You yawn and stretch slightly, " good."

That was a lie. But you wouldn't say that. Personally, everyone out here had a bad night. You definitely didn't see Equius nor Sollux.

You sit beside Nepeta. Soon, Terezi joins you.

" I can't believe her," she says.

" Who?" You ask.

" Vriska," Terezi spits the name, "it's her fault this happened!"

You shrug. It was just an accident. A deadly accident, unfortunately.

" I'll get her back," Terezi adds, "she'll pay."

You pat Terezi's shoulder, "you're grieving. Don't do anything rash."

she nods, "you're right..."


==Be the Girl with a Plan

Your name is Vriska Serket and you hated the little twerp that was hanging out by the staircase.

Deep down, you felt the richest of black souled hatred towards him. And he's said merely but a word to you since his arrival. But he was just so...pathetic. He was weak.

You see him turn and face you with a grin. Okay, I can do this. Just like mom taught me.

You lean against the railing beside him. You suck in my stomach a little and let your chest perk up. You grin at him.

" Hey, Tav," you say, "whatcha looking at?"

He grins back, his teeth bright against his tan skin. It was odd seeing a boy with such a sunkissed completion in London, but it was obvious his Spanish linage was the more dominant gene.

" How are you?" He asked.

You flick my hair, "pretty lame. I'm bored."

" Yeah, I was just going to see my brother," he admits.

He's in my web now, you think with a grin.

" Hey, why don't you and I play a game?" You offer.

His eyes widen, "what game?"

You know you have his interest now. You couldn't risk it now. It was time to trap him.

" It's a fun game that I like to call Flarp," You smirk.

He smiles, "that sounds like fun! How do we play?"

" First," you lean up to him. His breath catches as you lean your face closer to his own, "we kiss."

" What?" He gasped.

You laughed and grabbed a fistful of the collar of his shirt and pull him close.

" Like this!" You scream.

You let go of him and he stumbles back. You then kick him in the chest and he flips over the edge. You hear him scream out, but then it's cut off by a loud cracking noise.

" Tav?" You call, "Was that your neck?"

You hear a moan.

" Damn," you sigh. You head to your room, " It was great while it lasted..."


==Be the Girl of Justice

Your name is Terezi Pyrope, and you had a bad feeling in the pit of your gut.

Of course, you were hungry since you skipped breakfast from being upset. That won't change the monster Vriska was! Something inside you felt disgusted and betrayed! How could your sister be such an awful person! You hated to admit you were related. To be honest, you don't even mention it anymore. You've almost forgotten yourself...

But a good person does what's best! And that's what you were. You were the face of justice.

You continue to draw on your favorite wall. You enjoyed chalk. You really enjoyed its taste.

Especially the red!

All this drawing made you miss Karkat. You're pretty sure your the only one who's talked to him since he came. You really liked him and it made you sad how he'd just curl up and mope in his room. And it was all over his dad...

You couldn't really relate...you remember your mom, but if you saw her, it'd take a minute to realize who she was.

But you'd never see her, she's dead. She died in a fire. You're still pretty suspicious of that. Your infant self somehow survived without a single injury. The prosecutor in you said it was your father most likely. But he who knows? Better yet, who cares?

You decide maybe you can get some food from the kitchen, then have a late breakfast with Karkat.

You leave the backyard and head inside to the kitchen. You examine your reflection in the polished surface of the preparation table. Whoa! You're red hair was a mess around your head. You hastily run your fingers through the knots. You couldn't look like this and visit Karkat! It's...unlady-like. Not that you gave a shit...but you did. You sure didn't want to scare him off.

You think about your first conversation. He introduced himself, then he told you to leave him the hell alone, and the rest was history...

Your hand hovered of we the handle to the freezer. Was it theft to steal from the freezer? Would Kanaya be mad? You didn't want to upset Kanaya...she's like a mom, even though you're both the same age.

" What are you doing?" Asks a voice.

You jump and turn to come face to face with Porrim.

" Jesus," You exclaim.

" Porrim, actually," she smirks.

You roll your eyes.

She looks you up in down. You felt so inferior to her. She intimidated you in a way.

" What were you doing?" She asked.

" Um, I missed breakfast," you admit, "And so did Karkat. I was getting some for us both."

Porrim shakes her head, "sorry, dear, I'm out."

You nod. Figures, you think bitterly.

You exit the kitchen and decide to head upstairs. You walk into the next room and scream.

" TAVROS?!"


==Be Gamzee Makara

It's only one shout that echos from the house that sends your blood pumping.

" TAVROS?!"

You're at your feet before you realize. Then, you're standing in the main stairway looking at the ground. You see Terezi holding Tavros' body up. And theres blood. So much blood staining his front. It flowed from his mouth and his eyes lolled backwards. You drop to your knees and take his head.

" What the hell happened?" You demand.

Terezi shakes her head. Her eyes are bright and full of tears.

" I don't know," she shakes, "I found him like this!"

" Get someone!" You scream, "Anyone!"

Terezi runs out of the room screaming names. You stare at your brother and desperately look around.

" Who did this?" You ask him.

You had to keep him awake. If he closes his eyes...

He opens his mouth and says, "I can't feel them..."

You shake your head, "What?"

" I can't feel them," he whispers, "my legs."

His legs...he...couldn't feel them?

Terezi returns with Porrim and Kanaya. They tear Tavros away from you and you pass out.
