Rose stood up and looked at Vriska, frowning.

"Wait... Visit her? But... Don't we need to get away from here? They're bound to find us if we go and see her, not to mention the fact tha-"

"Oh my God, shut up!" yelled Vriska. "Look, I know where you're getting at, 8ut trust me. It's perfectly safe. I mean sure, we'll more than likely get caught, 8ut that won't 8e a pro8lem to us. We've got Them on our side."

Rose blinked. "Them? Who are you talking about?" Vriska rolled her eyes. "Think, dum8ass!"

"..."

"... Oh no. No way. Someone could get hurt!"

"So?"

"So?! We'll be in even more trouble than we already are! Besides, They are anything but helpful!"

Rose could not believe what Vriska was saying, nor why she was so adamant that They were helpful. They most certainly weren't. She was starting to think that maybe she was a psychopath... like Kanaya had said. Or even worse. She sighed, and tried her hardest to calm down.

"... Why do you think that They will help us?" she asked. "They've caused nothing but misery in my life. They're evil. They're the reason my mother is dead."

"Wrong."

Rose glared at her. "I... Beg your pardon?"

"You're wrong. They're not the reason you mum is dead. You're the reason she's dead. You killed her. Not Them. You."

Wait... What? How the hell did she know about what happened to her mum?

"...How...?"

Vriska smirked. "They told me. You know... They're not 8ad once you get to know them."

"But I don't want to know them!"

"Well, you kinda don't have a choice now, do you? They chose us for a reason."

Rose could feel herself getting angrier by the second. "What do you mean They 'chose' us? What the hell are you talking about?!" As Rose became more angry, she felt small bursts of energy shoot through her every now and then. It felt completely foreign to her, and yet so... familiar.

"Okay, look. I was scared too when it first started. 8ut after a while, it 8ecame the norm. Seeing Them. Hearing Them. Hell, even feeling Them. Feeling their power. After a few years with Them, They game me some of Their power." She tapped the bandage over her eye. "Doctors tried everything to remove it, 8ut they couldn't. You know why? 'Cause they're weak. This power... This power is unlike anything else ever witnessed 8efore on Earth! I can tell you're angry. I can see it in your eyes. I can see it in your mind. They help me see. Your anger is what they want. There's no point fighting it, trust me. Your anger is what got your mother killed. Soon, you too will share Their power, and we will 8e fucking Gods!" Vriska laughed.

Rose stared at her, her fists clenched. That's not true, she thought. I can fight it, and I will. She took a deep breath, and sighed.

"So... Should we go and visit Fussyfangs?" Vriska asked, her hands on her hips.

Rose thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes. Let's go."
