"OH MY COD ERIDAN, ERIDAN WE HIT SOMEBODY!" Nepeta groaned as she rolled over to her back. She looked up at the clear blue sky and damned it for being so happy. Her view was then blocked by a girl's head. Her long hair kept swishing across Nepeta's face until the girl pulled away.

"No shit Fef! Is she alivve?"

"I think so! Oh cod, I think she's bleedin'!"

'Interesting ascents. Irish? Or Scottish…?' Their voices sounded vaguely familiar; perhaps she had heard them around school? Her vision was hazy and a black ring was starting to engulf her vision.

When she opened her eyes again all she saw was a perfectly white ceiling. She could her the beeping of a heart monitor and could faintly pick up voices outside. She was in that place again. Well, shit.

The door to the opened and Nepeta's eyes rolled over to glance at her visitors. They weren't anyone she knew, so they were probably the couple that had hit her.
They didn't seem too much older than her. The girl was a tiny bit plump, but by no means looked bad. She dressed like some Hawaiian hippie and the longest damn hair Nepeta had ever seen. The boy on the other hand looked like some over dressed, angsty hipster.

"Fef, should we be really doin' this? I talked to Kar and he said that she's responsible for the incidents that happened to Tavv, Vvrisk, and Terezi! He also said she might havve somethin' to do wwith Aradia's death! Don't wwant to be helpin' some psychopath!" The two hadn't realized she was awake. Good.

The girl gave him a sharp glare. "Eridan! I know that's not true. Yes she was friends with them when all that happened, but she herself did nothing! I don't want to hear you say anyfin like that again! And you know Karkat is still very upset about Sollux, so he's probably exaggerating."

Karkat…that name was vaguely familiar to Nepeta. Aradia mentioned him occasionally. He was a good friend of Sollux's or something…Tav…Did he mean Tavros? He fell down some stairs and landed on his head. Now he was paralyzed. It was one of the more horrifying things she's seen. And Vrisk must be Vriska...Didn't she lose an arm awhile back? Nepeta and she weren't too close. And Terezi…poor Terezi. She became blind after the acid incident. She didn't do anything to them. They were her friends, and bad things happened to them. Just like Equius and her parents. And Aradia.

Aradia.

That weird text she had gotten before Equius was hurt. The person had signed it as Aradia. And Sollux, he was screaming about how someone wouldn't leave. And how her death was her fault…her cell phone. Where was her stuff?

Nepeta lifted herself up right, still rather groggy. "Where's my stuff?"

The girl, Fef, perks up and dashed to Nepeta's side. "Oh thank Cod you're okay. I'm so sorry about yesterday! It's our fault-"

"Our fault?! Our fault my ass! She ran in front of my car like a fuckin' idiot!"

"Eridan!"

The hipster held his tongue despite the fact he probably had a lot more to say.

"Anyway, like I said we're so sorry about yesterday! Once the doctors say you can go home we'll be glad to take you to your house. Oh, I'm Feferi Peixes and this," She gestured towards the hipster. "Is Eridan Ampora." She kept talking but Nepeta tuned her out. Eridan had this weary look on his face. He had zero trust in her. Whatever this Karkat person told him, he believed it.

"I didn't do anything."

Nepeta's sudden comment caught them both off guard.

"I-I'm sorry?"

"I didn't do anything to them. They were my friends. I would never hurt them."

Eridan paled a bit. "Y-you heard that!? Oh, God I'm sorry! It's just-"

"I don't care. As long as you know. Where's my stuff?" She began to slide out of the bed, but Feferi stopped her.

"Wait, listen, you've just woken up after being hit by a car. Lay down and wait for the doctors to discharge you okay?" Feferi probably wasn't going to ask again, and Nepeta was
pretty tired. So, she sat back down on the bed with low growl.

"Fine…can I have my cell phone though?"

Feferi gave a quick yes and skipped over to Nepeta's little pile of stuff. She grabbed the beat up phone and entered something into it before giving it to Nepeta.

"Here you go! I put in my cell so you can call me to pick you up! Quick recovery!" She grabbed Eridan by the arm and the two left.

The room became quiet again and Nepeta was left with only her thoughts to entertain her. She really hated hospitals.

She flips through her texts until she came upon the one she was looking for. The one from "Aradia". She angrily tapped out a reply. This imposter was going to get ripped a new one.

:33 who the fuck are you? If you think it's funny to impersonate my dead friend I will rip your worthless head off

A reply came quicker than she expected.

Nep, it's me. I pr0mis.

:33 then prove it

Y0ur father called y0u Catnep when y0u were little.

Nepeta sat in shock. Only one person outside her family knew that. And that person had died in a car accident and was texting from beyond the grave.
