Rose was chained to a wall, her hands kept up with rusted cuffs. Her weapons have dropped somewhere farther away, and she was now helpless. A dark figure stood in the doorway a few feet away and she watched in anger as it approached her.
“Stay away!” Rose spat out, shuffling her feet as she stood straighter.
“HEY, FUCKING CHILL.” Her eyes widened, a small smile appearing on her face.
“Karkat, thank goodness you are alright-“
“SHUT UP. THEY’LL HEAR YOU.” Karkat now stood in front of her, eyes a dark red as he looked at the door and back. Roses’ smile faded as she saw his eyes, her figure sinking a bit. With a soft sigh, Karkat shook his head.
“I’M SORRY LALONDE…BUT I HAVE TO KILL YOU IN ORDER TO BE ACCEPTED. NOTHING PERSONAL, I JUST WANT TO LIVE.” Leaning to her, his eyes got brighter and brighter with every second. Rose squinted her eyes, letting out a small “Karkat, please…” before giving up. This was it. Her life would end right here, chained to a wall.
“YOU KNOW WHAT…?” He backs away, reaching to the door. “I’M GOING TO LET YOU ESCAPE, JUST GIVE ME A SECOND TO GET THE KEYS.” After he turned to the hallway, Rose let out a loud exhale. Luckily, it wasn’t very loud.
Rose stood, her chains tightening as she anticipated her freedom. Karkat went to the main entrance room and stood in front of two figures, bowing his head and speaking.
“LALONDE WISHES TO BE RELEASED. I SAY THAT WE DO.”
“kar, wwe cant just let her go! she knowws wwhere ww-“ A finger is placed over Eridans’ mouth as the other figure speaks.
“He might 8e getting somewhere, Ampora. If she runs 8ack to her camp, one of our mem8ers can follow her and kill them all.” She looked at Karkat, nodding in approval. “You me release her Karkat~” Vriska hummed out, winking as Karkat bowed once again. Holding out the keys, she watched as Karkat snatched them up quickly and dashed away. He returned to the chamber, Rose looking up at him. Walking over to her, using the key in each lock and getting her free.
“GO, I’LL MAKE SURE THE OTHERS DON’T SEE YOU…” Karkat lied, opening one of the doors and letting Rose escape. She ran towards the camp, Karkat looking at her then at the guard overhead. Aranea watched as Rose dashed through the trees, signaling to her Dancestor. Eridan turned to one of the other Demons, pointing towards the hallway that lead to millions of rooms.
“find my dancestor to followw, he is fast and strong enough to get back to us in one piece.” Horrus nodded, flash-stepping to Cronus’ assigned room and bowing. The other Ampora hissed, hiding a journal behind his back and letting out a harsh:
“Vwhat is it-?”
