Dave had his free hand held out to Karkat, the other occupied with John's. Forcing his anger back he swatted Strider's hand away and rose to his feet. The two watched as he brushed off the snow, when he had finished they were still standing in front of him. Why don't they just leave me alone? He thought angrily. "Hey Karkat. We're having a Christmas party tomorrow and were wondering if you'd like to join us." John managed to squeak out annoyingly. Then it hit Karkat before he could say no; he could get his revenge on everyone. Forcing a smile on his lips Karkat managed to tell them he'd be there.
Later that night…
Jerking his old gym bag out of the closet he filled it with the necessary items for his plan. Sickles, rope, knives and duct tape. A smile creeped onto his face, he'd been waiting three months for a chance like this. All of his waiting was going to pay off soon. Zipping up the bag fill of the weapons he shoved them to the side for tomorrow.
Curling up under the covers he fell asleep with the smile plastered onto his face, he couldn't wait to feel the blood on his hands.
The next day.
Karkat had gone through his normal routine, getting ready for work, eating and getting to work before anyone else.
The day at the shop was pretty slow and before he knew it closing time rolled around. Excitedly he grabbed his gym bag and locked up, surprised to find Eridan standing right in front of his face after he turned around. Blinking a couple times he wiped the surprised look on his face and replaced it with the normal stern look. "What do you want, you ginormous asshole?" He watched as the fish-troll shifted his weight from foot-to-foot. "Wwhale I wwas thinkin wwe could wwalk to the party together. That is if you don't mind." He looked away blushing slightly. The anger was about to consume Karkat, but he forced it down, remembering he won't ever have to deal with these lunatic nook suckers ever again. Shrugging he said fine and they walk all the way to Dave's house.
When they had finally arrived Karkat noticed that everyone was wearing a Christmas sweater. Tightening his grip on the strap of the bag he walked into the front door only to be attacked with a hug by Jade. "Adjsthnjgk." He squeaked out as the overly-friendly girl toppled on top of him. Her green eyes met his grey eyes and she smiled sweetly, just like her ectobrother. "I'm glad you could make it Karkat!" He smiled up at her, giving her a true sincere smile. He'd always liked having Jade around, he decided he wouldn't kill her. Laughing he managed to sit up and hugged her back. "I'm glad you're the one who greeted me!"
Everyone was there and having a blast, only Karkat was the one who really didn't want to be here. He just came for his entertainment.
