The search for Lailah continued for six days, no one found her and no one knew where she could've went. Everyone, except for Karkat, gave up and just faced the facts that she was more than likely dead.

Terezi was laying on the couch with Karkat and he was more than likely crying since thats what hes been doing since Terezi first said she couldn't find his one and only daughter.

Terezi heard a faint thud at the front door and immdiatly got up, walking to the door.

"What was that?" Karkat wiped his face and looked over at the door.

"I don't know" Terezi carefully opened the door. She stepped out the dor and felt her foot hit something.

Karkat got up and pushed Terezi aside, picking up whatever was at the doorstep "Oh my god, Lailah, are you alright?" Karkat set Lailah on the couch and put two fingers on one of her palms, she was still breathing, but barely. Karkat tried to wake her up by shaking her but evidently she was unconsious. Karkat pulled up one of the now dark purple sleeves of the grey sweater too see a huge gash all the way down Lailah's arm.
He quickly went into the bathroom and grabbed a towel and some disenfectant spray. He walked back to where Lailah was lying on the couch.
He quietly said "This is gonna hurt" and sprayed down Lailah's right arm. She flinched and Karkat stopped spraying it "Lailah?"

Karkat heard Lailha faintly say "Daddy, stop it, that hurts"

"Lailah are you alright? What happened to you? Who kidnapped you?" Karkat knelt down beside the couch.

Lailah regained full consiousness and sat up, leaning on her bad arm "I don't know."

"Dont lean on your arm" Karkat sat beside Lailah and let her rest her arm on his leg "Whatdo you mean you don't know? You've been gone for like a week and you were unconsious that whole time?"

"Well... When I woke up I was in the forest, I heard momma calling my name but I couldn't get up or scream or anything. I went to sleep since it was dark outside and when I woke up everything was fully functional. I walked for about an hour and finally made my way back to the hive, I passed out since it was a long walk and I had no idea where I was.

"Oh, well I'm just glad you're back, people started to think you were dead" Karkat kissed Lailah's forehead and smiled.

"Dead? Why would I be dead?"

"Well I mean you're only five sweeps and-"

"I'm not helpless, you know" Lailah looked down at her still-bloody arm.

"But still I-"

"I'm going to go take a shower" Lailah got up an walked into the bathroom, slamming the door.

"Great, you pissed her off" Terezi sat beside Karkat.

"Shit. I always manage to do that" Karkat pushed a pastel purple stained towel into the floor.

"Yeah well it seems as if you're the only one that can talk to her, even if she's mad. She wont talk to me for shit"

"I guess she's gonna be in there for a while" Karkat glanced at the bathroom door

"Probably" Terezi yawned "Welp, I'm going to bed, make sure not to piss her off even more when she comes out of there" Terezi got up and patted Karkat's shoulder, walking into the bedroom and shutting the door behind her.
