The Adventures of Rose and Friends

Chapter 9

I fell asleep with Kanaya and Nepeta next to me. I was going through different dream bubbles trying to find something to make me still in a good mood. I found the memory where Gamzee and I became friends. I stepped inside....

——————-FLASHBACK——————-

Nepeta and I were in her respit block, drawing on the walls, and talking about my story I'm writing.

"Do you have a comment about the, uhh, bathroom part?" I asked, drawing a sheep next to Aradia. "Um a little but I'm weird and that's not too weird soooooo it's fine!" She smiled as she drew a little bull next to Tavros. HONK! "I-I'm sure it was just my imagination. But I had to make a transition so its a bit awkward..." I said staring at the door. "Naw its fine." she smiled. CRASH! HONK honk HONK! Gamzee broke down the door. Nepeta ran away. I was left alone in a room with a murderer. I sat with my back against the wall, frozen in terror as he stood in front of me, club in hand. "Gamzee no." I managed to stutter out, attempting to sound brave. "Yes Mother F*cker? HONK! :0)" He yelled looking down at me. "Are you sober?" I stuttered without looking at him. "Yes I am lil sis. HONK!" He said, his face close to mine. "Are you going to kill me?" I mumbled. "Maybe :0):0):0)" He said in a menacing tone. I looked at him trying to be brave. But I couldn't. I looked up at him, and I knew I was going to die. "I-I don't want to die again!" I started crying and put my face in my knees. He looked at me with a form of disgust in his eyes. "Ive decided not to kill you.........for now. HONK" He spoke in a hushed tone, loud to my damaged ears from Karkat. I looked at him crying, still. Sburb had taken its toll on me, and even though we saved the world, I will always have these scars. He looked at me, and sat down next to me. I was tired, hurt and no one would listen to my issues. So I had to bottle everything up. I would tell Nepeta, or Kanaya, but I don't want them to worry about me. So I hugged his arm and started crying. "Whats wrong lil sis?" He whispered with hurt in his eyes. "Im a terrible daughter, I've died so many times I've lost count, I have to watch my friends die, and I never get to let out my feelings. And I've never told my mother I loved her. But I really did." I cried out. He pulled me into a hug. "Shhhh, Its ok." He whispered and hugged me tightly. I hugged back and sniffled, " I don't want to die, but I deserve to die." He looked at me with purple forming in his eyes. "T-that's you're choice sis." he said crestfallen.

I heard a chainsaw in the distance. Apparently, so did Gamzee. He stood up and went to the door. I heard someone yelling and a rush of footsteps. Then Kanaya burst through the door yelling, "GET YOUR CLOWN HANDS OFF OF MY PRECIOUS FLOWER!" Her chainsaw buzzing making Gamzee back up against the wall. "STOP!" I yelled at Kanaya, her chainsaw brushing up against my hand giving me a deep cut. Her chainsaw stopped immediately afterwards. "Oh my gog! Rose! Are you ok?! Im so sorry!" she pleaded. "Stop. Don't apologize. You need to stop. I can't deal with the craziness that is this place! Gamzee, you need to stop too. I love you both, but I need a break." I screamed. I had said it more harsh than I had meant. "Love you too, Rose." Kanaya said and walked down the hall. Gamzee went the other way. Nepeta suddenly ran out of the room and started chasing Gamzee. I slumped to the floor in disgust of what I had said to them. Shit. I looked down at my red covered hand. My blood had run down my arm. I ripped my skirt and wrapped the fabric around my hand. Ill have Kanaya's mom check it out tomorrow. Nepeta ran back in. She jumped on my back. "Onward!" Nepeta yelled without noticing my bandage. And I gave her a piggyback ride to my room.
