Really sorry for the long wait for an update! My excuse this time: I finished watching a season of Doctor Who and watched the 3rd season of Supernatural and watched a movie (Pride). I was also pretty lazy. I'm back now though.

"Wake up you guys!" Karkat sighed and opened his eyes. The chaperone was banging on the wall to wake them all up. "It's time for breakfast." He walked out and slammed the door behind him. Karkat sighed, then noticed the position he was in. His legs were on his bunk but he was curved over so his back was on Sollux's chest and his head in the crook of his neck. He shook Sollux's shoulder and he yawned.

"Morning KK." he mumbled. They sat up, then noticed Gamzee was grinning at them. Karkat blushed and rolled his eyes. He noticed Tavros had some of Gamzee's face paint on his face. Okay, they were all so gay.

"Roxy will be one happy motherfucker." Gamzee said. Karkat rolled his eyes and stood up. They all got up and walked out of the cabin. Their chaperone had apparently gone on ahead. He wasn't a very good chaperone.

"Gamzee!" They all turned and saw Roxy running up to them.

"Hey Roxy, guess what? Karbro and Solbro-"

"Gamzee!" Roxy interrupted. "Have you seen Calliope?!"

"No, why?"

"I can't find her! She wasn't in our cabin when I woke up and no one's seen her!"

"She could be at breakfatht." Sollux said.

"Our chaperone already looked there." Gamzee frowned and pulled out his phone.

"Lemme call her." he said.

"I tried, but she didn't pick up." Roxy said. Gamzee waited for a few seconds for someone to answer.

"Gamzee!" Karkat froze and Gamzee tensed up. That hadn't been Calliope's voice. That had been a boy's voice. Who was talking?

"W-what…" Gamzee stuttered.

"Hi Gamzee. I haven't seen you in awhile. It's been almost a year, hasn't it? I'm just having a reunion with my sweet sister. You're welcome to join us."

"Well sure motherfucker." Gamzee said. Karkat shivered. Gamzee's voice had gone deep and creepy. What the heck? "Where are you? I'll be right over for the miracles." The guy on the other end of the phone started laughing. His laugh scared the hell out of Karkat.

"Really? You think I'll tell you? YOU THINK I'LL BELIEVE YOU?! YOU THINK I'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT YOU DID?!" Gamzee clenched his hands into fists and was frowning. "…But…if you find me, you're welcome to join us. We're always so alike, you and I."

Gamzee stayed frozen, holding the phone to his ear. Then he slowly put it away.

"Gamzee?" Tavros said. "Who—who was that?"

"I gotta go save her." Gamzee said.

"What? What's going on?!" Roxy asked. "Who was that?"

"That was her brother."

"But he's in juvie!" Roxy protested.

"Apparently he escaped." Gamzee took a deep breath and Karkat noticed his hands were shaking. "Okay, I have to deal with this motherfucker myself…so just…wait here."

"No." Tavros said. They all stared at him in surprise. "You—you're really scared Gamzee. We're coming with you." Gamzee hesitated.

"Only if you promise not to let him see you." he said. "Just…stay hidden unless you need to help me. Okay?"

"Okay." they all said. Gamzee nodded and pulled out his phone.

"I can track Calliope's phone. Follow me." Roxy pushed Tavros's wheelchair as they all followed Gamzee into the forest.

They walked for quite awhile. Someone was bound to notice their absence. Hopefully it would all work out. Gamzee led them off the path and through some bushes. Eventually he stopped behind a tree. He put his phone away and looked at them all.

"…Okay, just stay here and…watch. Okay?" They all nodded. "Um…and if it looks like I'm gonna do something I'll regret…stop me."

"We will." Tavros said. Gamzee nodded.

"Okay." He took a deep breath and walked around the tree.

Gamzee stared at Caliborn. He was just as he remembered him: bald head, bright red eyes, teeth that looked like fangs and one gold tooth. He was holding the same knife Gamzee remembered him always using. It still had the old bloodstains on it. Lying at Caliborn's feet was Calliope. Her wig was torn off, revealing the burn scars. Her dress was stained with blood and Gamzee could see cuts on her arms and legs. She was crying and her face was hidden by the grass.

"So good to see you again Gamzee." Caliborn said with a sneer. Gamzee took a deep breath and stood up straight. He was taller than Caliborn. He didn't have to be afraid of him.

"Let Calliope go." Gamzee said. Caliborn laughed and Gamzee shivered. But not because it was creepy. Because he could feel the feeling he used to get from Caliborn's laugh inside him. That feeling scared the hell out of him.

"You don't really feel that way Gamzee." Caliborn said. "Don't you remember all the fun we had? Before you betrayed me?" Caliborn grinned and took a step towards Gamzee. "You miss the fun, don't you?"

"No." Gamzee said, gulping. Caliborn laughed and shook his head. He held up the knife, which was still dripping with fresh blood.

"Don't you want to have a turn?" Caliborn took another step towards Gamzee. "You've done it before." Gamzee felt his hands shake and he willed himself to shove them in his pockets. But he couldn't move. He couldn't tear his gaze away from the knife. "That scar on Calliope's right shoulder?" Caliborn grinned and took another step. "You're the one who made it!"

"..Shut up."

"What about that girl in the alley? You enjoyed it, don't deny it. You had the most wonderful smile as you clubbed her!" Caliborn took another step forward. He was only a few inches away from Gamzee. "How is this time any different than all the others?" He lifted up Gamzee's right hand and put the knife in it. "It's so easy. You've done it so many times already. Just take the knife Gamzee. You can't ignore me or disobey me for long. We're just so alike…" Caliborn curled Gamzee's fingers around the knife. Gamzee stared at its sharp edge. The blood on it gleamed in the sunlight.

"G-Gamzee…" Calliope whispered. He looked down at her and she looked up at him with her huge green eyes. He remembered that look. He shivered and clutched the knife. He could feel tears forming in his eyes, but he couldn't blink them away.

"You remember how it felt, don't you?" Caliborn whispered. "Do it again Gamzee. But this time will be different. This time you won't betray me. You'll never leave me ever again, will you?" Gamzee breathed heavily and tried to move. He willed himself to drop the knife, to back away. But he couldn't. "C'mon Gamzee, I haven't got all day. If you're quick, I'll let you have fun with your friends behind the tree." Caliborn pointed to the tree where his friends were hiding. No! They couldn't get hurt! He had to protect them! Something in Gamzee snapped and his head went clear.

"NO!" Gamzee shouted. He stabbed Caliborn in the right shoulder and shoved him away from him. Caliborn stumbled, but didn't fall down. He glared at Gamzee and pulled the knife out of him.

"Y-you…you're betraying me…again. For th-them?!" He pointed a shaky finger at Gamzee's friends, who had all stepped out from behind the tree. Gamzee took a deep breath.

"Yeah. I am." he said. Caliborn glared at him and howled like a wounded animal.

"I'll never forgive you!" He jumped at him and Gamzee ducked and threw him. Caliborn flew back and hit a tree. He glared at him and Gamzee could tell he was surprised. Gamzee was too. He didn't think he could actually fight Caliborn. "W-why…does everyone…leave me?!" Tears were running down Caliborn's face. But Gamzee felt no pity for him.

"It's your own fault." he said. Caliborn glared at him.

"F-fine! I don't need you! I don't need anyone!" Caliborn laughed. "I'm just fine on my own! I don't need friends! I don't need anyone! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" Gamzee could hear adults running over to them. Probably the camp volunteers and teachers. "I'm perfectly fine with just myself! I don't need another soul! I can just love myself and hate everyone else! Ha-ha-ha-ha! I don't need anyone else! No one at all! Aha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
