You kept running, ducking around that corner as fast as your legs could take you. You were in an alley now, as your back slid down the cold bricks behind you, rain pouring down, your make up having washed off a little while ago. You could feel your heart pounding in your chest as you sunk your head back into your hood, your breath hitching as you heard noises. More like yelling, gun shots. Bad noises, the noises you should be running from.
But it's rather hard to run when you can't feel your legs. Or any part of you for that matter. Then suddenly, all you could hear were footsteps, loud footsteps as the rain started to cease, now more of a mist than anything.
Then everything was quiet. You had no idea where all the noise went, but you knew it was humid, and you were sweaty, and you sat up, the back of your pants soaked, wetter than the rest of you from the drenching rain. You yank off your hood, looking around and you glance down to the street, where there's a shadow, and that shadow scares you. Anonymous shadows are bad. Very bad.
You are about to turn and make a run for it, but suddenly you hear a scream. Any other scream and that would've sent you running faster, but not this scream. You stopped dead in your tracks.
That was Tavros, wasn't it? You can't deny it. You just heard Tavros scream, and you turn right back around to run to him, when you stop, and there's someone with a gun to your forehead. The cold metal shocked your, as your eyes went wide.
"Don't worry. He died quickly."
"...You mother fucking killed him..." You state blankly, as your heart just shattered.
"Yeah, pretty much. And now for you." The blonde man smirked, his shades concealing his eyes well. You don't have time to say anything else, Tav is dead, and you're about to die. You go over what his last moments would have been like. It makes you sick, this man makes you sick.
But as your heard a loud gun shot, you know your life is over to.
And your eyes finally shoot open as you jerk up in bed, panting.
A nightmare? A MOTHER FUCKING NIGHTMARE? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? You can't help but growl at how real it was, how terrible it was. How absolutely fucking ins-
"Gamzee? Why are you awake?" You can't help but stop your train of thought, as the cute, small, half asleep voice fills your ears and you glance to him. Tav was curled up by your side, eyes only half opened, mostly asleep, hugging a small Tinkerbull plushie close to him.
"..It was just a bad dream Tav. That's all... I'm going to run to the bathroom, then I'll be back, okay?"
The cutie nodded, hugging his plush and closing his eyes yet again. You get up, walking out of the room and down a little hall, into the bathroom. You turn on the light and look into the mirror. Your hair was a mess, all about, but that was rather normal. But your eyes were bright, such a deep color, but lit up with fear. That dream had really freaked you out, and you had no idea where it even came from for that matter. It was just random really. Too random. You didn't like it. Not one bit.
You sigh, splashing some water in your face. Sleeping alone had fucked up your make up, so you decided to just wash it off completely. Once that was done, you yanked off your shirt, way too sweaty for it at the moment, along with your pants. You kept your boxers on, for Tav's sake, but if you were home, they'd be gone in an instant. You just left your clothes there, planning to retrieve them when morning came along. Before you knew it, you were back in the bed, hugging Tav and drifting off.
And what seemed like minutes later, his alarm was blaring and you reached back with a groan, hitting it. It proceeded to fall to the floor, unplugging, silencing the nasal sounding ring.
"Gamzee..." Tavros muttered, opening his eyes. "...Um...Gamzee what just happened?"
"Five more minutes." You mutter, rolling over onto your stomach.
Tav giggles, sitting up and glancing around. "Gamzee, we kinda have to get up. It's already 6... And we have school."
"Fuck education." You mutter, flailing your arm slightly. But then you begin to hear a buzzing and you yawn, sitting up and glancing to your phone across the room. "...I need magic powers to make it come to me." You sigh, standing and walking over.

You glance back at Tavros, who was moving into his wheelchair off the bed and he glanced at his alarm clock. "Gamzee, you're going to end up breaking it.."
You chuckle. "I'm sorry." And you begin to walk over to him, happy.

Your name is Karkat Vantas, and you wish everyone would just shut the fuck up. Now. Your mom was just SO FUCKING LOUD. It really pissed you off. Her and her bitching. Karkat you're a failure this. Karkat you should go run off and live with your dad that. She just never shut up. And she never put that bottle down. I swear, her and that Lalonde's girls mother were always drinking together. Always.
"Karkat, don't (hiccup) t-turn away from me!"
"MOM, IT'S FUCKING 6 AM AND YOU'RE ALREADY DRUNK!" You growl, but you don't know why you sound surprised. When is your mom not drunk? And when is her boyfriend she brings over to fuck with at excessive noise levels, not drunk?
"I don't really give a fuuuuuck what time it is Karkat. All I know is that you haven't picked up the beer cans in here like I asked you to!"
"It's your fucking man whore of a boyfriend's fucking trash. He can get his lazy, shit-stained ass of the fucking couch and pick them up his goddamn self!"
"Kaaaaaarkat, you do not talk to your m-mother that way!" She glared a bit, swaying just the slightest. Jesus, how drunk was she? You guess you've seen her worse. Wait. You take that back. You know you've seen her worse.
You suck in a hard breath, bag slung over your shoulder, stomach growling. You ignore it, there's no way you're eating here. You just walk out, slamming the door with a little too much force, the small, old frame of it shuddering before becoming still and you suck in a breath of cool morning air.
You begin your walk, sighing as you did. You weren't sure where you were walking, because it was the opposite direction of the school, but you were too mad to care. Who gives a fuck if you go to school or not? Certainly not your mother. Possibly your father, but you didn't really see much of him. Sometimes you wish you did. Key word in that sentence? Sometimes.
Before you know it, your outside his house. OF ALL PEOPLE, HIS HOUSE? You mentally facepalm, but sigh. He would probably be willing to give you a ride to school if you just kinda... Walked in? You guess and sigh, walking up to the door and knocking.
After a moment, the door swung open. Bucked teeth grin and thick rimmed glasses in place like always.
"Karkat! Hi!"
"Hi John." You grumble, glancing away. Why the fuck was he so happy anyway? He was always fucking happy. It's not natural.
"Karkat, I know you have a foot fetish and all, considering how much time you spend looking at people's feet instead of making eye contact, but seriously, don't do it to me. I'm not a homosexual."
"Fuck you." You glare up at him. I am not a homosexual. If he fucking says it again you're going to shove your bulge so far down his throat it will puncture his bowel and he'll be a mess of his own shit on the floor, while being a fucking homosexual.
He laughs at you, stepping aside. "Any reason you're at my front door?"
"I was just wondering the same fucking thing.
"Well what do you want?"
You were really debating now, chewing at the inside of your mouth. Was it really worth asking for a ride? You mean, you could just...walk? Ew.. Okay, maybe a ride would be okay, but with Egbert of all people. You finally sigh.
"Can I have a ride to school?"
He blinks at you. "I guess so. But if you start coming onto me Karkat, I'm going to push you out the window."
"Jesus fuck John. WHY DOES EVERYTHING I SAY TO YOU AUTOMATICALLY GET VIEWED BY YOU AS ME WANTING YOUR DICK?"
"Because you want my dick."
"Fuck this shit. I'm walking." You turn to walk away, growling.
"Oh come on Karkat! We all know you're gay!" John jumped off the steps and followed you down the side walk. "It's not like you hide it well."
You turn to glare at him, resisting the urge to connect your knuckles with his jaw line. You would just get in trouble, and lose your ride.
"John, I don't see why you don't seem to understand, that you fucking PISS ME THE FUCK OFF. I have no romantic thoughts for you, WHATSO-FUCKING-EVER."
John rolls his eyes. "Sure you don't. Now come inside, I'm almost ready."
"...FINE." You sigh, not wanting to get yelled at for being late again and you follow the fuckass back into the house.
Am I cool Yet?
"Terezi seriously, next time you fucking call me to tell me you lost your phone, I might just virtually slap you."
"SERIOUSLY DAVE. I CAN'T FIND MY PHONE!"
"..Terezi, you just called me."
"...OH HEY DAVE I FOUND IT. IT WAS GLUED TO MY EAR THE WHOLE TIME!"
You can't help but facepalm in the coolest way possible. You're sitting in your car, Terezi on speaker phone, sipping at a bottle of apple juice.
"Dave you're my ride today, right?"
"TZ, why the fuck are you yelling? I mean really, isn't your aunt home?"
"Nah! She had to head to the Sheriff's office early this morning! Hehehehe, so I'm home alone!"
That cackle. You think to yourself. It's just... Bone chilling. But yet, you couldn't help but like it. No matter how creepy it was.
"So am I picking you up today?"
"No Dave. I'm driving myself to school. Best idea ever right? Give the blind girl some keys and hope no innocent bystanders die!"
"Alright, have fun."
"DAVE! Don't be rude! Come pick up the blind girl!"
"Fine." You sigh, turning down onto Terezi's street. It wasn't a very crowded street, and had a couple houses. They all looked exactly the same, except, well Terezi's had a giant freaking oak tree in the back yard with a big tree house in it. How the fuck does a blind girl even get into a tree house?

"Equius, stop gripping the steering wheel like that! You're going to break it!"
"You don't have any right to command me." The guy mutters, as he turned into a small drive way. You really wished your mother would just buy you your own car, so you wouldn't have to carpool with the overly kinky neighbor sweaty boy and his kitty friend.
You both sat there, looking at the house as a girl ran out, in a hat with cat ears, short hair bouncing and her fake tail swishing as she ran, wearing a long sleeve shirt that clung to her skin, and winter vest over top that was a bright blue while the undershirt was olive green, and a blue jean skirt with black tights and flats. She was rather tiny, and overly petite, a feature you were rather glad you didn't have. No one was afraid of the little ones. No one.
"Equius!" She purred as she jumped in the passenger seat, since you were always stuck in the back.
"Nepeta," was his only greeting to her as he pulled out of the drive way, overly cautious, looking each way for a moment or two before beginning down the small street and onto the main road.
"Whaaaaaaaat? I don't get a greeting Nepeta? Fine! I see how it is."
"Oh I'm sowry Whiskers!" She bounced and turned around in her seat to look at you.
"Nepeta! Seat belt."
"So we can be safe!" She giggled, turning around and putting on her seat belt. "I'm surprised Equius, normally you always just tell me off the bat to put on my seat belt! Is something on your mind?" She leaned closer to him, trying to get in his face.
"Nepeta, I am operating a four wheeled vehicle at the moment, and your distractions are making it hard to follow the rule of land."
"..You mean the speed limits."
"Same thing."
Nepeta giggled, sitting back in her seat and yanking her bag onto her lap, and opening it and yanking out some shoujo manga and opening, seeming to disappear into it completely, lost in every word.
"Nepeta, what did you eat for breakfast?" Equius inquired, probably going to lecture her for her poor diet.
"Hrrrmmm! Well," she said said, looking up and sticking a book mark in her page. "Mawmaw made purrfect pancakes, and I coated them in chocolate syrup and whipped cream and spurrinkles! Oh, and some orange juice."
"...Nepeta."
"Yes Equius?"
"Do you ever consume anything other than sugar? Like something that contains some form of nutrients."
"...Um. Well... The orange juice was fresh squeezed, so it has oranges in it. Does that count?"
"...I guess." Equius sighed. "But really Nepeta, you should begin consuming things that will help you in the future, not rot your teeth."
"But they're sooooo good and I just... Screw it, I want cavities. All the cavities, because them my teeth can fall out, no one will yell at me to brush my teeth, and I can still eat all the sugar I want if I pop it in the blender first."
"...I'm sorry, but Equius, is this girl on drugs?" You finally intervene, not believing your ears.
"Her diet consists of sugar and shipping."
"OOOOOH WE SHOULD SO TALK ABOUT SHIPPING NOW. SO I TOTALLY THINK KARKITTY IS-"
"Nepeta, you forgot, no one cares."
"..." You can almost feel the air in the car sour as Nepeta's happy face turns to a pout and she brings her knees to her chest, hugging them. "Fine."
"Vriska, apologize."
"What?"
"I told you to apologize or you will be walking to school." Equius' voice was serious, and you hated when he did this.
"Fuck that. Just pull over, I'll happily walk the rest of the way as long as she knows no one gives a fuck about her shipping."
A sad sigh erupted from the seat infront of you.
"Out." He said quietly, as he pulled over, and you smirked, grabbed your stuff and stepped out as he drove off.
"Hmph. Asshole."
