Chapter 7

After a delicious meal of fresh fish prepared with sugo di sangue, I wanted to get some fresh air and clear my head from all the stuff that had happened to me in only a few short hours. I still couldn't move around much, as my paws still hurt ( like a bitch I might add..) but I figured I could survive a short trip to the beach behind Gamzee's hive. I kinda wanted to get away from him too, as he was creeping me out a little.

Anyway I made my way out of the hive and took a deep breath of the salty ocean air. It was such a beautiful night! The sky was unusually clear and there wasn't much wind, just enough to make the waves lap gently on the coast. It was so nice I made it all the way to the shore without noticing the pain in my paws and sat down, looking toward the sea.

I sighed " Oh my" I said aloud, "what a romantic night….and no one to share it with.."

'Hey is someone there?" Said a voice

I jumped and got up startled. I knew that voice.

"Hey Karkat!" I called "What are you doing all the way out here?

I looked out into the darkness until that oh so familiar silhouette come into view.

"Hey Nepeta I'm just…Jesus what the hell happened to you?"

"Huh"? "Oh yeah my paws I uh…stepped on something…"

"Oh…That sucks…"

"Yeah…." I looked down embarrassed "Uh anyway what are you doing here?"

"Oh I just got back from seeing my fuck ass idiot of a best friend. I had to show him some stuff…"

"Oh…." I looked up at him shyly, "Why don't you hang out here for a bit? We never hang out anymore…"

"Yeah…I would but I promised Terezi I would go see her so…I better get going,""Oh ok!" I cried "I'm sorry I should have know you would be too busy" I tried to get up but I stepped on my paw too hard and winced in pain.

"Ouch!" I cried

Karkat had a strange look on his face, like he didn't know what to do.

"Look" he finally said "I really gotta go, Terezi waiting for me so, uh take care of yourself K?"

I sat back down on the sand and looked up at him. "Ok bye" I answered

He turned and I watched him leave until I was unable to see him anymore. It was then that I became aware of the tears that had built up in my eyes and let them slowly fall down the sides of my face.

"Karkat you idiot.." I said softly.

After I had finally calmed down I realized how late it had gotten and headed back over to the hive. It was almost sunset, but to my surprise there lights were still on inside. I walked in the door when I heard noises coming from the living room. I walked in and saw Gamzee sitting on the couch watching something.

"Hey" I called "Your up late.."

He turned around to look at me.

"Hey Sis, I'm just getting my Motherfucking Steven Kings It on, this clowns one badass motherfucker all up and killing people and shit…Anyway man were you been? Why your eyes all red? You been doing Catnip?

"What? No! I just.."

"Whatever man, just do what makes you happy…'

"What the hell?" I though "He's completely different from before, but at least he's back to normal.."

"Anyway Gamzee I'm gonna go to sleep, its been a long night and-"

Gamzee interrupted me. "Hold up motherfucker, there's something I been wanting to do.."

"Huh what's that?" I asked as he walked up next to me.

He was right in front of me now.

"Its just that your such a cool Motherfucking sis and-"

Suddenly he pulled me closer and shoved his tongue in my mouth!

"Oh my god!" I though "is he kissing me?"

He let me go and looked at me.

"Anyway motherfucker you just keep doing what your doing and I'm sure things will end up on the other side…

"What the fuck?" I thought, I had to get out of here fast!

"umm I'm going to go now Gamzee, you uh, go to sleep soon ok…I'm just going to go to bed.."

I raced up to the room Gamzee had given me and locked the door behind me.

Dear God what the hell was going on?
