Dave had practically screamed himself dry, his eyes lighting up for a moment before realizing it was Karkat. "Where is she," he whispered.
"Dead." He laughed, stepping closer and going to stand over Dave. He pulled a smaller table up next to him and started to lay all his knives and torture devices on it, making sure Dave could see everything he had. "She was a feisty little bitch, I had fun killing her."
"No. No, you didn't." He stared at him, eyes wide.
"I sure as hell did. She knew I had you, you told her where I lived, and she wouldn't stop trying to save you. Bitch was convinced you loved her." He laughed, "Glad I set her straight before I killed her."
"She didn't fucking deserve to die!" he screamed hoarsely, struggling to sit up.
"Yes she did, she was being an annoying bitch, she wouldn't just fucking leave and forget about you."
"She was just like Jade! How could you do that?!"
"Because she was an annoying bitch, and she got in the way."
"No she wasn't! I loved her!" Dave screamed, thrashing as he tried to get away.
"That's not what she thought. I made sure she knew you held nothing for her, she was just another demon to you." He laughed.
Dave slumped down, visibly deflating. She was gone now and she died thinking he hated her. There wasn't a point in fighting anymore.
"Ohh don't give up, that takes all the fun away." He laughed, picking up large sharp knife, "I want to hear you scream when I cut into you."
He shook his head. "Fuck you."
"Now that's not the way to talk to someone who can kill you at any second." He put the large knife down and picked up a smaller one. "Maybe I can take your eyes out first, then you'll never know what's coming." He laughed.
"Look, you aren't scaring me..." He eyed the knife.
"That will change." He grabbed Dave's head and plunged the knife in his eye. "When I'm done with you, you will be begging for me to kill you."
He let out a sharp gasp, his body jolting up at the pain.
He twisted the knife, making sure to destroy Dave's eye. He moved on the the other eye, doing the same. "How did that feel?" He taunted him, moving around so Dave couldn't track where he was.
He panted a bit, trying hard not to give him the satisfaction of his scream.
"Just give up Dave. " He whispered in his ear. He moved to the other side, whispering in the other, "You know you want to scream."
"F-fuck no..." he gasped out, feeling the warm, sticky liquid pouring down his face. He'd kill him soon enough.
"I will make you scream Dave." He whispered, putting the small knife down and picking up the big one again. He stared at Dave for a minute, deciding where he can stab him and not kill him. He remembered learning online the places someone can be stabbed and still live. He gently teased the knife down Dave's chest, stopping at his stomach and stabbing his side there.
He jerked away, biting his lip hard to bite back a scream. "Sh-shit," he whispered.
"You really don't want to scream don't you?" He sighed, going to his other side and stabbing him there too. After he pulled the knife out, he stuck his fingers in the wound, using his fingers to rip it open even more.
Finally, he gave in and released one. If he could see, he wouldn't doubt that everything would've been blurry.
"That's what I want to hear." He laughed, suddenly getting an idea. He wiped his bloody fingers off on Dave and ran upstairs. He grabbed a kettle and started boiling water. When it was done he carried it back to where he was holding Dave.
He breathed hard, hearing his footsteps run upstairs. Fuck. What else could he do?
He held open Dave's mouth, pouring the boiling water inside. He placed the empty but still hot kettle on Dave's bare chest. "You must be so thirsty from screaming."He laughed.
He screamed as the boiling water burned his tongue, beginning to gag and choke on it.
"That's the sound I'm looking for." He laughed, picking up the kettle, and digging his nails into his burnt flesh.
"Stop!" he yelled, practically writhing in pain.
"Why would I? You never stopped when Jade was screaming in pain." He dug his nails even deeper.
"I wasn't myself!" he screamed, his back arching as he tried to move away.
"Then I guess I'm not myself right now either." He growled.
"You didn't even know her for that long!"
"I don't fucking care. I still fucking loved her."
"So did I!" He screamed, tears mixing with the blood. "Her and Aradia! You killed them both!"
"I didn't kill Jade!" He screamed, "It was Bro's fault not mine. I tried to save her." It was easy to tell Karkat was near a breaking point.
"It was your fucking knife!" he yelled back.
"It was fucking aimed at you! Bro fucking pushed her in the way, I was just trying to fucking protect her."
"He wanted to protect her too! I wasn't going to hurt her, I just wanted to take her back!"
"He didn't know that, he just wanted you to leave before we started fighting. He was saving his own ass." He screamed in frustration, stabbing his side again.
"Fuck!" he cried out, jerking away again.
He stabbed Dave a few more times before getting an idea. "You'll really like my next surprise." He laughed, running to his car and driving to his house.
