You woke up rather late, in your room of all places. Weren't you in the forest? You give up thinking about this and go eat the stack of pancakes you find in your kitchen. Today you were going to go to Sollux's apartment to work on the calculus project. You were actually feeling good today.
Then everything changed when you opened the door. Scratch was literally about to knock on the door when you opened it. "I fucking swear I'll get a restraining order." You slam the door shut, locking it for good measure. This guy literally just got out of the hospital. He knocked on your door.
The only way to Sollux's house was through the front door, and you had to hurry before Sollux got feed up and came over here. You look at the clock, realizing you were supposed to be over there five minutes ago. You grab a katana, holding on tightly as you open the door. "Leave already. This is getting ridiculous."
He eyed the sword nonchalantly, looking back up at you. "Says the one with the sword."
"It's for safety reasons. I'm getting real sick and tired of being attacked."
"I heard you were released on the terms of no broken laws or charges."
"Go away."
"You threatened assault with a deadly weapon."
You froze, staring him down. "Are you seriously threatening me?"
"Are you seriously holding a sword in a fighting position?"
You try slamming the door shut but you just get shoved back. You tumble back dazed, getting up quickly only to be knocked over again. "What the..." You trying getting up only to find yourself pinned to the ground. "You seriously can't leave me alone can you?"
"What the fuck ith going on?!" Sollux stomps in, wearing a fedora and oversized pants. Sollux wasn't stupid; he knew if Scratch took you down that getting too close was a bad idea. "Get of of my friend right now!"
"You realize what he is, correct?"
"Yeth I know, now get off of him!" Sollux growled. This was a mistake, because Sollux had sharper canines than normal.
"How many strange creatures are in this town?" Scratch pulled a broken white shard, sticking it in your pocket before getting up. You felt groggy as hell, almost sick. Sollux realized Scratch was now after him, but the guy had guts and didn't back down. Scratch went flying back after being hit with what you swore were sparks. Sollux did this again, panting a little. He didn't exactly have a ton of practice time or endurance with his ability, so you knew it was only so long before he would have to resort to punching. Scratch hit Sollux hard, knocking him back into the wall. Sollux whimpered a moment, hat knocked off and glasses slipping. Funny thing about his glasses; they were just 3D glasses he wore to look cool. As they slipped off you saw that his eyes corresponded with the colors, bright red on the left and deep blue on the right.
"Oh fuck." Sollux mumbled, scrambling to get them back on. Scratch pinned him to the wall in moments, wrists to the side, pulling his glasses with his hand to the side. You managed to get to your feet, but you felt heavy. You slip on a feather, looking out the open door. Bro was literally just coming into the hallway, now running in.
He slammed the door open angrily. "Get the fuck out of my apartment!" Bro yanked Scratch up before tossing him out. "Are you two alright?"
You try to pull the thing from your pocket, but directly touching it made you feel like you were violently ill. Bro caught on quickly, pulling the shard from your pocket before eyeing it. "What is it?"
"Their called Dragon Tears, but usually they're in a perfectly round white ball. Something about these weaken magic users significantly, almost to the point of killing them if there's to much of it around." He looked over the white shard, flipping it in his hands before deciding to get it away from you. "A piece this small needs to stay about seven feet away from you." Bro left a moment, walking into his room before coming back. He noticed Sollux.
Sollux quickly snapped on his shades. "Nothing to see here." Sollux remained against the wall, looking of to the side.
"You need help up?" Bro offered his hand helping Sollux up.

News of Scratch reached the rest of the group quickly. Feferi had disappeared, but Aradia confirmed that she was alive, but had been sold off by her sister who refused to accept that she was human in any way. Feferi refused to say much else and could sadly only be contacted by dreams in the denizen plain.
Equius was dragged off after his strength became to obvious, Nepeta being taken with him. She refused to part with him to the point she revealed herself when English tried taking her best friend away. By the time the rest of you got there, they were already gone.
Terezi tried laughing it off, she really did, but now it was getting down to uncomfortably close calls with Scratch.
She laughed and joked how she would stop him if he laid hands on you with a mighty dragon roar, but when she tried roaring like a dragon you ended up laughing at how adorable she looked. She then promptly smacked you with her billy cane.
You couldn't believe it when you opened your door to find Terezi wearing her dragon cape in the hall, tears rolling down her face. "Terezi?"
"Dave..." She buried her head in your chest, hugging you tightly.
"Terezi? What's wrong?" You close the door behind her.
"It wasn't supposed to be like this."
"What do you mean?"
"I messed up."
"What happened? Are you okay?"
Teal eyes looked up at you. "I was almost caught Dave. They almost had me."
"They didn't catch you, that's what matters."
"But they know what I am Dave! What if they come after me again? I couldn't move, I couldn't feel anything!" Terezi was scared.
"Wait, you couldn't move?"
"Yeah. If Rose hadn't been there they would have caught me. I'm not even sure if she's okay."
"Rose is smart. I know she will get away."
Terezi just cried.
