I wander around for a while, remembering how Tavros is probably about to be killed by Vriska soon. I really wish I could help them, but I know the rules of time travel, you can't change anything major. That would probably be even worse for universe jumping as well. Someone is running, I see them in the corner of my eye. I look over and it's Terezi, she's running off crying. I remember reading that, and that meant soon she was going to find a dead friend. I wanted to follow her, but I just headed to the common room.

I felt like there was something I was forgetting about... it'll probably come back to me later. I teleportize into the common room, and find a nice place to sit in the corner. I thought about how Gamzee's running out of Faygo and Sopor Slime, and soon he'll be a sobor murderous clown. That part was pretty creepy, especialy when I am terrified of clowns.

A flash of light caught my attention and I looked up. Eridan had just transportalized in, knocking Kanaya off. I watch him go and talk to Karkat, I feel like something bad is about to happen because I sort of remember this scene. All I really remember is it was bad. Bad equals death. Oh no, oh God.

I watch as Eridan goes to talk to Feferi and Sollux, no no no no no no no. God I wish I could stop this, but it has to happen. Then it begins, Eridan and Sollux fight, Eridan wins kncoking out Sollux. Then Feferi turns to fight him, and is shot down. I let out a little gasp as he destroys the Matriorb, then he kills Kanaya. And he leaves in a heartbroken rage.

I'm crying, just like when I read this scene. I walk out of the shadows as Karkat is crying over Kanaya's body. Before I can slip out to look for Eridan, The Doctor transportalized in.

"Vanessa! Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" The Doctor rusked in front of me asking.

"I-I'm fine... I'm going after him" I tell him.

"What!?" He exclaims.

"VANESSA DON'T! HE'LL KILL YOU!" Karkat sobbed.

"He won't if I don't attack him... someone needs to be there for him, he just killed the one he loved" I reply.

"But what if he hurts you, I'm not going to let you get hurt" The Doctor said.

"Then come with me" I say and transportalize out.

I look everywhere for him with The Doctor on my trail, hoping to find him soon. I hear crying and start to run toward it. When I see him I let out a silent sigh of relief. I sit down beside him and look at him sadly.

"Hi" I say and he looks up, his face, sleeves, and scarf was stained with purple tears.

"havve you come to get revenge on me for killin them or somethin?" He asked.

"No, I'm here to comfort you" I answer.

"But if you hurt her then I'm out for revenge yes" The Doctor told him.

"wwhy wwould you comfort a murderer?" He asked.

"Because it was in your defense, they came after you first. If you hadn't killed them... you'd be dead" I answer.

"that wwouldve been better than killin poor swweet fef..." He trails off, a few tears escaping.

"Hey, it's going to be alright, I promise" I tell him then wipe his tears with my hand.

"howw can you be so sure?" He asks.

"I just have a feeling" I answer.

"feelins are the worst" He replied.

I gave him a hug, mumbling over and over that's it's going to be okay. I just held him there for a while, it's weird having your favorite character breaking down in your arms. I feel bad for him, it's hard knowing he's going to die... Maybe if he knew he'd get to see Feferi again he'd feel better.

And then the worst happened, somewhere in the darkness it was loud and clear. A "HONK". Me and Eridan both jump at the sound.

"wwhat wwas that?" He asks.

"Gamzee's gone of the deep end, oh no..." I trail off.

"howw could that drunk clowwn go off the deep end?" He asks.

"He's sober. Run!" The Doctor exclaims.

I grab Eridan's hand and we start running with The Doctor behind us. We ran through many hallways until we were sure we were safe. I was sitting in the floor when I realized how terrified I really am. I'm shaking like a rattle and I had to slow my breathing. I try to stop shaking, or at least shake a little less hoping they wouldn't notice.

"do you think he'll kill us all?" Eridan asked.

"I-I'm sure he's going to try" I answer, my voice cracking.

"Are you okay?" The Doctor asks walking up to me.

"Yea, I'm f-fine" I answer.

"you look terrified" Eridan replies.

"Really I'm fine" I tell him.

"youre on the vverge a tears vvan" He says sympathetically.

"I, uh, never liked clowns" I reply.

The Doctor kisses my forehead and moves so Eridan can get on his knees and look me in the eye.

"i wwill make sure he doesnt hurt you" Eridan tells me.

I smile at him, though I know what's really going to happen. His eyes quickly fill with pity and I realize I'm crying.

"I-I'm sorry I'm crying, I don't mean to" I say, wiping my tears.

"go ahead and cry all you need to" He tells me and pulls me close to him.

"Thank you E-Eridan" I say and cry into him softly.

Eridan POV

I'm not sure how long we both sat there but it had to have been a while because she fell asleep in my arms. All the running must've made her tired. By this time she was basically just sitting in my lap, so she fell asleep with her head resting lightly, and slowly falling, on my chest. I take off my scarf and bundle it up, to make a small pillow. I carefully slide Vanessa into a more comfortable postition, and place the scarf pillow inder her head. Then I cover her up with my cape. I smile at how she looks when sleeping, it's actually quite cute. I will admit it, I may be flushed for her.

Not just because I just lost Feferi thanks to anger, but I feel something towards Vanessa. I don't want to freak her out or anything like that, and who would want to date someone who just murdered two people? If she was a troll it'd be different, but she's a human. Humans don't allow that much do they? Something tells me they don't. Maybe I could attempt to win her over, but probably not until all this Gamzee stuff is done with.

"Hey, I'm going to try to make it back to my TARDIS. I'll come find you both if anything happens" The Doctor told me.

I nodded to him and he ran off, his little wand thing making noises and lighting up.

I notice Vanessa flinches, I hope she's not having a nightmare. I keep an eye on her just to make sure. She starts to mumble things and twitches some more, I really should wake her up.

I shake her lightly, "vvan, wwake up i think youre havvin a nightmare" I say.

It takes a while so I repeat the process until she wakes up.

Her eyes fly open, "Eridan?" She asks in a some what panic.

"are you okay, it seemed like you wwere havvin a nightmare" I reply.

"It was turning into one... thank you" She says.

"you're wwelcome" I reply.

"Do... do you think Gamzee's actually going to kill us all?" She asks.

"i don't think he's all that serious about killlin us, he's probably just in need of more of that fuckin disgustin slime" I answer.

"But we'll be okay right?" She asks.

"i'm sure wwe wwill all be fine" I answer.

She nods and looks down, the look on her face told me she wanted to believe me, but she just couldn't. Suddenly there was a cat like howl, like a battle cry, from close by. Oh no, Nepeta, I hope she's okay.

"W-Was that Nepeta? D-Do you think Gamzee's killing her?!" Vanessa exclaims, almost in tears agian.

I gave her a hug, "evverythin is goin to be fine, i promise" I say, "now come on wwe should make our wway to the common room"

I release her and we start to head toward the common room, I think we may have taken a wrong turn somewhere because we ended up on the rooftop.

"wwell shit..." I mumble, "vvan, i think wwe're lost"

"Eridan is that you?" I hear Vriska's voice say from the darkness.

"vvris wwhat the hell are you doin here?" I ask.

"Weeeeeeeell, everyone's pissed at me 8ecause I killed Tavros" She answers stepping out of the darkness with a creepy grin.

I get out my science wand just in case, "you didn't hear of fef and kan's death did you?" I ask.

"Oh? Who killed them?" She asks.

"i did" I answer.

"Oh look, Dualscar is 8eing all 8ig and 8ad!" She laughs.

"youre awwful you knoww" I say angrily.

"And you're no 8etter!" She replies.

"yea you're probably right about that, but either wway wwe are all dead noww that gam is out of slime" I tell her.

"Oh he's on a murderous rampage? That must've 8een why there was soooooooo many annoying honks" She replies.

"honk" We hear in the shadows, "HONK"

"No, no no no no no!" Vanessa exclaims from behind me, putting her hands on her ears.

"Speak of the devil" Vriska says looking in the direction of the noise.

"honk" He says and he gets closer, "WELCOME TO THE DARK CARNIVAL BROTHER"

He steps into the light, he has Nepeta's hat and Equius' glasses. Me and Vriska get ready to fight him, her die and my wand at the ready. I can Vanessa behind me, sobbing and repeating the word 'no'. Everything is going down, right here right now.

And then footsteps. Soft 'pap pap pap' footsteps. Someone else has come to join the fight? But who? As the troll comes into view I can't believe what I'm seeing. It can't be! But it sure enough is. Kanaya stomps in, purple cloth tied around her wound, looking angry as ever. She goes and kick Gamzee in the crotch, then she punches Vriska dead in the face. Sending both flying. She comes us and takes my wand from me and brakes it in two, then OH MY GOD WHAT IS SHE-

"Eridan!" Is the last thing I hear then everything goes black.
