Chapter 2: The Discovery
Scy: Hey guys due to major inactivity I'm going to jump right into the story. Hope you like it!
Sweat. The name of the stupid liquid that coated Nepeta's body. It was purely disgusting to her, a smelly oily liquid that got in her fur and made her feel purely gross. It was growing to become the bane of her existence. And there was so much of it! She had decided to leave on a huge training trip so she wouldn't fall behind with her friends. She wanted to be part of their arguments and FLARP sessions. So that's exactly what she did.
She personally likes herself after her time of rigorous training. She was a lot stronger. Her muscles tone and hard. She felt like she could do absolutely anything. But she wasn't very excited to jump into a battle. To slash Vriska's face or defend a friend. What she really wanted was to catch up with her pals. To see how they were doing.
After reconnecting with most of her friends Nepeta felt a lot better. She was happy to hear about all their new romantic encounters and their social lives over the recent time she was gone. But one thing did frequently trouble her with every visit. Every time she asked about her old friend, Karkat. They looked away and said nothing. And every time she said it they sported a look of sadness in their eyes. They would soon ask her to leave, to bear her the trouble. Confused and eventually afraid she decided to go to KarKitty's house next.
When she got their their was absolutely nothing. It was just an empty lot. Every last bit of her KarKitty's house had been torn down. Nothing removed. His belongings still in the rubble. Nepeta didn't understand why it was knocked down. But she eventually gave up and trudged home. For days and days on end she tried to find him. She searched everywhere. Never bothering to go home.
Her friends began to worry about her. Even Vriska became a little concerned. Kanaya visited her yesterday. She talked to her about sometimes you have to live with what happens in life. And if KarKat left they couldn't do anything about it. But really on the inside Kanaya was crying on the inside. She missed him too dearly. A few more days passed before she decided to go home. The hotels she would stay at were too pricy. As she trudged home she could make out footsteps in the dirt. KarKat's footsteps.
Nepeta couldn't belive what she was seeing. She had looked for him for so long. And his footsteps were right near her hive! Her ears perked up as she broke into a sprint. She ran with all her strength. He was close, she could tell. But when she got to the clearing a grizzly sight came to meet her. Vomit pushed at her throat but she was able to choke it down. Tears welled in her eyes but she let them fall.
Karkat was a few feet above her. Hanging from his neck. His eyes wide open and a smile plastered on his face. The wall next to with the clearing was covered in blood. Smeared with the words 'I'm Sorry'. His sickle at the base of the tree. She could believe he would do such a thing. Why would he kill himself? Did they find out about his Blood? She didn't know, and didn't want to. So she just fell to her knees. And cried, and just kept on crying. She sobbed and whipered but no matter how much she cried and pleaded for him to come back she knew he could never come back at all. He was gone, and he left when she needed him the most.
