I guess it kind of took me a while to upload this next chapter...but I got it down. I'm also working on another Death note story...two actually...one for my buddy, so the next upload might take a bit.

Warning: Attempt of molestation. Truths be told! and isolation.

:O(Chapter 8)O:

Tavros's eyes flutter open and he slowly looks around the dark room, a little amount of moon light cascaded down on the faces surrounding him. He stiffens as he realizes that the two trolls on either side of him were Eridan and Equius, both gazing at eachother mouthing agreements. He begins to sit up but Equius quickly lowers the low blood onto his back again.

"Wwhere are you going?"

Eridan whispers, Tavros whimpers as he feels Eridans hand slithering down his chest and stomach.

"You should stay wwith us….. wwe wwon't tell your

…..dirty secrets.."

Tavros looks over at Equius who was now propped up on his elbows staring firmly at the younger troll. The blood drains from his face as he realises where Eridans' hand was. Eridan leans over and begins to kiss Tavs cheak while Equius simply sat there and watched. Tavros pushed at Eridans shoulder with a tiny please leaving his lips. Eridan wraps his arm around the Tauruss waist and pulls him against his body. Tavros wimpers into Eridans chest as the Aquarius squeezes his fingers between his butt cheaks, scratching Tavs flesh with his sharp nails.

"E-Eridan please...not again..."

Tavros whimpers pushing at Eridans chest. The Aquarius throws an angered look at Equius and the Sagitarius reluctantly folds Tavs arm behind his back.

"Shut up Tavv, or I'm going to havve to hurt you."

Eridan growls into Tavross ear, suddenly the rustling of sheets sounds from across the room. Eridan and Equius pull away from Tavros only a few seconds before the lights turn on.

"What the fuck are you guys doing? I can't even fucking sleep!"

Karkat growls standing beside the light switch.

"G-Gamzee!"

Tavros sits up and reaches out for the Capricorn who reluctantly rushes over to him, lifts him into his arm and sets him down on his wheel chair.

"I-I think I'm going home..."

Tavros whispers rolling toward the door. Gamzee stands reluctantly and pulls Tavs chair.

"What? Why bro?"

Gamzee asks trying to keep his best friend with him. Tavros shrugs and rolls off to the door. Eridan begins to follow but Sollux stops him.

"I'll go with him. You can stay here with Equius."

And with that he left with him.

"H-he touched you?"

Sollux asks in shock. Tavros nods behind watery eyes.

"That fucking bastard. I fucking hate that asshole."

Sollux growls, he then turns to Tavros and hugs him. Tavros wraps his arms around Solluxs back and begins to cry.

"I-I don't know what to do...I-I'm scarred of him...I-I wish Gamzee would just...would just...kill him..."

Tavros cries out, Sollux turns his gaze to the sky and thinks back to the night he'd found Karkat after what Gamzee had done to him. He very highly doubted that Gamzee would be the right one to go to about this matter. He pulls away and grabs Tavs hands.

"Look, we can't tell Gamzee...or any one about this okay?"

Tavros looks up at him then begins to cry.

"But what if he keeps doing it again?"

Sollux shakes his head.

"Look, Tavros, Equius did the same thing to me, but well you know how he told Nepeta he had repaired me?"

Tavros nods while whipping his tears off on his sleeve.

"He was the one who did it. He crushed my wrist and my foot, he broke the bone inside my leg."

Sollux whispers feeling as if he were about to cry, he shakes away the feeling and smiles at Tavros.

"Everything will turn out better. I promise okay?"

Sollux says placing his hand before them so they could shake and make a deal. After a few seconds of sobbing Tavros reaches out and shakes Solluxs hand.

"Did he add the goggles too?"

Tavros asks, Sollux nods slowly.

"There's a code on the back, I could probably break it if I could see it, but I don't have eyes in the back of my head."

Tavros wraps his arms around Solluxs neck and rubs his back supportively.

"I'll help you Sollux, how ever I can!"

Tavros whispers, Sollux pulls back and nods.

"Thanks Tav..."

He didn't know why it was so troubling to know that his matesprits rapists best friend had been raped by that bastard he hated so much. He clenches his fist tightly and growls into them. He wanted to make him pay, wanted to hurt him badly, that'd be a pleasure. He falls back on his bed and slams the side of his fist into the matress. It was beginning to seem like a cycle, like a circle of pain, and he was the only one strong enough to help the other two and himself. Sollux turns onto his side huffing his anger into the pillow beneath his head. He cringes in disgust as images of Equius come into mind, he turns over repeatedly, not able to find comfort on either side he was on.

"Damn you Equius."

Sollux growls into the pillow. His vision begins to blur, setting off more anger as he silently cried into his pillow.

"Tavbro! Hey man! let's go make some pies!"

Gamzee says throwing his hands into the air and showing his excitment. Tavros only stares at him, his plushie in his arms. Gamzee stares at him a bit uncomfortable at first but only grabs him by his shoulders and pulls him into a hug.

"Tav, are you okay bro? You've been...ignoring me and shit."

Gamzee whispers resting his head on Tavs shoulder. The taurus wraps his arms around Gamzee tightly.

"Gamzee..."

Tavros began, the sudden thought of Gamzee killing Eridan frightened him, he couldn't let that happen.

"You should go back to your hive...it's getting late, and I think I wanna be alone..."

Tavros suggests in a trembling voice. Gamzee stares at him for a while, not sure what to do.
