One moment Karkat was on the floor in pain, the next moment in a clown's arms, being carried in a very painful manner. As in over the shoulder with Gamzee's hand on his wound, and touching his exposed, broken bone. Which hurt like hell. Not only that, but his blood, his mutant red blood, was pouring out like fireworks on the fourth of July. Add the fact that your best friend, who is also your love, happens to be a mirthful messaih going crazy on a killing spree...That also draws on the walls with your friend's blood, and would probably be delighted to use his disgusting blood to paint too.

Welcome to the Veil.

Gamzee was running insanely fast for having such a lanky figure, not to mention carrying Karkat. He may be small, but that still means more weight. Though, he was becoming lighter. His blood wouldn't stop, and how Gamzee was running could only make him bleed more. Kanaya chased him as far as she could, but soon, she couldn't keep up with her wound baring her down. She could only possibly get Sollux and hope Vriska is well so that they'll be more likely to survive against this clown terror. She hauled herself back to Sollux, to find him beginning to wake up.

"Kanaya..What the 2hiit happened? There'2 red everywhere. Where'2 KK?...Oh my fuckiing Gog you're bleediing.." Sollux sat up, still a bit drowsy, but wishing for anything but sleep. Kanaya sat down, wincing as she moved her side... How was she going to tell Sollux what just happened.. How.. "Well, How Do I Put This? I Was Fighting Gamzee, Only Briefly Though. I Have To Say He Is Stronger Than One Would Suppose From His Lanky Figure. Oh, Before I Start Rambling.. Karkat Tried To Stop Us From Fighting By Going To Pap Gamzee. But.. He Got In The Way Of My Chainsaw.." Sollux raised his eyebrows, "Uh-huh.. Go on, then."

"As You Can Tell, The Red Here Is Blood.. To Be Specific, Though, It Is Karkat's..Strange.. Blood." Sollux looked around, seeing the blood puddle on the ground, and rubbing his temples. "II 2ee... Get the fuck on wiith iit. The longer iit take2 two tell me, the more liikely KK ii2 2crewed." Kanaya closed her eyes.. She doubted that. "Actually, The Moment Gamzee Saw Karkat's Blood, I Could Sense That He Wasn't Playing. Just Intuition, Though, But I Believe He Was In His Own Way Protecting Karkat." Sollux nodded. "So, He Attacked, And From There On, He Made My Wound From A Few Days Ago Worse.."

Sollux groaned, "2o, Kan. Where the fuck ii2 KK?" She tapped her fingers together, "I Had Gamzee In A Place Where He Could Be Killed, But Karkat Told Me Not To Kill Him. Because Of This, Gamzee Realised He Was Closer To Karkat Than I Was.." She trailed off. "He wa2 trollnapped." Kanaya nodded, and coughed. She spat up some jade blood. Sollux facepalmed, "And you're iin no fuckiing condiitiion two go after them. I just hope KK can la2t agaiin2t Gamzee.. Be2iide2, we can 2ave the matriiorb-thiing whiile Gamzee ii2 dii2tracted by KK."

Kanaya chuckled, "You Are A Mean Troll. But, That Is True. We Get The Orb, Then Karkat. And See If Vriska Can Help, If We Can Find Her." Sollux nodded, "Thii2 ii2 a fucked up plan, but we came up wiith iit. 2o, we mu2t be fucked up." Sollux let out an apathetic sigh, but smirked afterwards.


Gamzee soon began to notice Karka wasn't screaming or yelling anymore. Nor was he all up and struggling like a normal lowblood... Then again, he was a mutant blood.. He pulled Karkat off of his shoulder, and held him bridal style to see him clearer. Karkat was concious, but barely. Gotta motherfucking say, though, he was motherfucking cute when he was in pain and terror. "hey motherfucking BEST FRIEND. you all up and MOTHERFUCKING WANTING TO GET SOME MIRTHFUL Z'S?" Karkat groaned in reply, the blood loss too great for him to really care about what he said.

"i'll all up and MOTHERFUCKING TAKE THAT AS A MOTHERFUCKING yes. WANT ME TO MOTHERFUCKING SING you a lullaby? HONK." Karkat opened his eyes to look at Gamzee in the face. He was smiling, and still walking to where ever the fuck they were going. "GA..GAMZEE..WHAT.." Karkat was cut off at his question by Gamzee beginning to butcher a song. "hush little karkles DON'T SAY A WORD..gamzee is here with you now." Karkat felt lightheaded, and closed his eyes. Fucking lullabies...

"I KNOW YOU'LL WAKE AND SCREAM, but have no fear, I'M HERE WITH YOU NOW. i'll never ever LET ANY MOTHERFUCKER TOUCH YOU NOW. because you're my little MOTHERFUCKING MIRACLE..sleep well, karkles... YOU'LL NEED IT." Karkat was highly disturbed, but couldn't stop himself from drifting off into sleep. He also had a dream..

X-X-X-X

Karkat was in red wheelchair, rolling down a long, dark hallway. It wasn't nessecarily scary.. In fact, it was actually was a warmth that was foreign to him, and he felt at ease. He started to look at the walls, and saw drawings of his friends hanging out, being happy. He chuckled, and smiled. They were happy, alive and well.. Soon, after a while of nothing but pictures, he saw some of his friends come from behind him, and start talking. They were acting normally, treating each other as if they were alive, and on good terms.. Which they hardly ever were.. But only sometimes did they have their moments.

He saw Tavros walking, thanking Equius for his legs. Aradia, Feferi, Sollux, and Eridan all bugging each other about quardrants. Nepeta hopped up behind Equius, and hugged him. Terezi was poking Vriska and Kanaya, cackling at their reactions. He felt as if they were all having a good time, and it made him actually feel like he did something fucking right for once. Though, something was bothering him...

Someone was missing.

He looked to the sides, only to no avail to see his clown friend. He began to ask Tavros, when a hand on his shoulder silenced him. A clawed hand was pushing the wheel chair, and the owner of the hand happened to be a sopored clown. He was smiling down at him with a dazzed look. Karkat felt so relieved, and leaned back into the wheel chair.. Everyone... EVERYTHING is fine. Nothing is bad.. His friends are here, chilling out, his moriail- maybe even matesprit, was sane.

But... Why was Karkat in a wheel chair?...

Everything changed. His friends, the ones that were dead, fell to the ground, their bodies bearing the wounds of which they died by. The ones that were alive, as in Kanaya, Sollux, and Vriska, disappeared shouting Karkat's name in worry, shock, or terror. The last one... Gamzee, was still holding the wheelchair, but instead of walking down the once-comforting hall, was speeding down a hall full of his "Wicked Pictures". He was smiling, and spouting things that would have made any mentally stable human being break down into a fit of rage and insanity.

Then again, Gamzee is the Bard of Rage.

X-X-X-X

Karkat woke up, not with a jolt, but sweating and a few tears sliding out of his eyes. Shit, that was fucking eriee.. He felt so warm, and he couldn't help but feel safe, even after a dream like that. He just laid there.. Warm.. Safe... Wrapped in someone's firm grip...

WAIT... Firm grip?

His leg started to hurt,bringing him fully out of his sleepy state. He listened.

He heard his own heartbeat... And someone else's.. Their breathing.. Their humming..

Gamzee's humming.
