I wake with a start, grasping at my racing blood pumper. The room was dark, the only source of light being the moonlight that shined through my window. My eyes, already adjusted to the darkness, danced about the attic. I sighed remembering where I was.
In the far corner boxes were piled on top of each other, and it seemed that everything, with the exception of my recoopracoon was moved up here. I rubbed my eyes tiredly with a yawn.
"How long was I out?" I wonder out loud.
"Couldn't have been that long, I'm not all wrinkly." I state looking at my hands.
I sat up pushing the blankets aside, a soft squeak resonated beside me. I glanced over curiously. My eyes met with grey ones on the ever soft lime green scalemate. I picked him up hugging him close. He squeaked in response.
"Mint! I'm so glad your still here!" I whisper quietly.
To be honest, though silly, I think without the company of Mint I would have completely lost my mind. I would probably end up as the troll hatter. Mad, insane, and ever waiting for troll Alice to join me in a never ending tea party.
I scoot to the edge of the bed. and slowly swing my legs over the edge. My ankle stinging in protest of the movement. I forgot about the injury, hopefully it's not as bad as it seems?
I lift my injured leg back onto the bed and inspected the bandages. They are a bright white, not a single drop of blood to be seen. After a moment of just blankly staring at the wrapping I decided I needed to see how bad the actual wound was.
Not going to lie, but I was afraid to look. Though I guess it's normal to be scared of seeing yourself injured.
"Here we go." I breath out.
With a deep breath I carefully unwrapped the bandages. They fell away without issue. The wound itself didn't seem to bad, or at least it didn't look infected. I could tell that I won't be able to walk on it for a while.
The skin around my ankle was heavily bruised and stitches circled around it. I touched it with trembling fingers.
"Shit... Why the fuck are there beast traps outside the fucking hive anyway?" I whisper angrily.
Creak
My head shot up, my eyes resting on the door. It seemed someone was walking up the stairs. Their soft footsteps were barley audible yet their presence was made noticeable by the stairs cries.
I quickly laid down throwing the blanket over me and turned to face the wall. The door opened not a second later. His soft footsteps headed towards me. I tried my best to remain calm, but my pump biscuit frantically tried to escape my chest.
He now stood behind me. I could feel him staring at me with his dull eyes.
"H9w did this get here?" He questioned.
Shit. I forgot about the bandage.
"Y9u're awake aren't y9u (Y/N)?" He laughed silently.
I froze. Already adrenaline was coursing through my body and before I could think I answered him.
"No." I answered, instantly hating myself afterwards.
Silence.
Kankri sat down beside me placing a hand on my shoulder, I turned to look at him. His eyes were soft, caring. However I knew his true nature, the monster he has become. He stared down at me, my gaze never leaving his. He smiled at me, I didn't smile back.
Kankri Picked me up in his scrawny arms holding me close to his chest. The scent of blood and frosting danced about his bright red sweater. We sat there for a moment unmoving. My adrenaline rush subsiding.
"D9 y9u kn9w what t9day is?" He questioned, voice muffled by my hair.
"No. I was out for. I don't even know how long." I scowled at him.
He laughed pecking my lips.
"It's y9ur wriggling day silly!" He continued to laugh.
My eyebrows knitted together. Has it really been that long?
"9k y9u caught me, it's actually t9mmar9w, 6ut I was just s9 exited t9 sh9w y9u the surprise that, well, I th9ught why n9t cele6rate early?" He grinned evilly, continuing to ramble on.
As he continued to ramble I zoned out. I've been trapped here for over a sweep. And yet no one has found me, no one has come to my rescue and I haven't successfully escaped either. I was rotting here in Kankri's arms with nothing but the comforting company of my scalemate and tower of books. Well along with Kankri's suffocating, constant company as well.
"(Y/N)? Are y9u listening?" He asked worriedly.
"Y-yea." I responded shakily.
"Well?" He asked raising his eyebrows.
"Well, what?" I questioned.
"D9 think that y9u will 6e a6le t9 muster up s9me energy t9 c9me d9wn stairs with me?" He smiled softly awaiting my answer.
In all honesty I didn't want to go anywhere with him, I didn't want to be here in general. But I knew that, even though he's asking me, he's more of ordering me. And I didn't want to be punished again. Not after last time.
The image of Karkat flashed across my memory. I shook my head quickly before it could manifest.
"Yes, but I don't think I can walk..." I state tiredly.
"D9n't w9rry, I will carry y9u."
Kankri picked me up without effort carrying me to the door and down the stairs. The moment we made it to the hallway a strong stench invaded my nose. I scrunched my nose at the familiar scent looking up at Kankri in confusion as he continued to walk towards the living room.
"9ur special guest has arrived!" Kankri shouted entering the room.
The first thing I noticed was the fact that there were three trolls seated on the couch. However I could only see the top of theirs heads since the back of the couch was facing me and Kankri.
I was exited for a moment. But quickly became confused. Did Kankri decide that I could see others again? Maybe me trying to escape opened his eyes to what he was doing? Jeez, now I'm nervous, I haven't seen another living being in so long. Yet... Something seemed... off. Not only the smell, but it was deathly quiet, all except for Kankri's footsteps.
Kankri placed me on a stool in front of the coffee table, I strained my neck to see who was sitting on the couch in front of me. He moved to stand beside me and threw his hands into the air.
"Surprise!" He shouted.
I sat there unmoving, my mouth fell open in a silent cry. Sitting in front of me was Karkat, Nepeta and my moirail Terezi. Each were wearing a party hat and were mutilated in their own fucked up way.
Terezi sat staring at me with cold, dead eyes, their red hue dim and dry. Her head leaned to the right, her neck covered in a long stitch that overlapped a large bump. Her twisted arm was swung around Nepetas shoulders.
Nepeta glared at me with fearful eyes, her mouth hung open as if she was screaming. Her shirt was dyed a deep olive and torn to shreds, I could see several cuts outlining her stomach as though she was stabbed and left to bleed out. A piece of what looked like rope circled one of her wrists.
Karkats was the worst. And though I didn't know what exactly happened to my other two dear friends, I knew what happened to Karkat. I remember that Kankri forced me to watch as he bashed Karkats head in before cutting him up and shoving him into a garbage bag. And now Karkat sat before me messily sewn together. Half of his face still missing.
I held a hand to my mouth to keep me from puking. Kankri looked at me concerned.
"Are y9u 9k? Did y9u eat s9mething 6ad, 9r r9tten perhaps?" He questioned worriedly.
I stared daggers at the man before me, no the murderer crouching in front of me. Rage spilled into my chest as I began to scream. Tears falling from my fiery grey orbs.
"What the absolute fuck is wrong with you?!" I screech inches from his surprised face.
He stood abruptly picking up two party hats from the table. He placed one on his head before attempting to place one on mine. I slapped his hand away causing the hat to fall to the ground. He looked at me with a hurt expression.
"Don't touch me." My words wavered as though they stood on the sea.
"C'm9n, all y9ur friends are here, I kn9w y9ur tired fr9m-"
"What friends?! you killed them all, you fucking killed them!" I yelled pointing at my friends corpses.
"I spent all this time setting this up f9r y9u, I even put Karkat back t9gether f9r fucks sake. y9u c9uld at least say thank y9u.!" He looked at me, upset.
"This is sick Kankri." I spoke tears still streaming from my eyes.
"I even baked y9u a cake..." He said ignoring me.
"Oh really, and what's the main ingredient? Black goop?" I say angrily.
He turned around holding a cake, several candles were resting on it while they burned.
"I understand if y9ur still angry ab9ut that, but..." He trailed off bringing the cake closer.
"D9 y9u want t9 make a wish?" He said smiling nervously.
I stared a the cake for a moment and sighed.
"Fine, but could you bring it closer?" I asked.
He smiled gleefully and brought the cake close to me.
"Happy Wriggling day (Y/N)." He spoke happily.
I smiled at him weakly blowing out the candles.
"What did y9u wish f9r?" He asked curiously.
I said nothing. Before he could step away I threw up my arm smashing the cake into his face. I burst into laughter at his annoyed expression. He smashed the remaining cake onto the table and wiped away the rest from his face with his sweater.
"How did it taste?" I asked laughing.
"Was that really necessary?" He said annoyed.
"Was kidnapping me and culling my friends necessary?" I stated angrily
Kankri stood inches from my face, his hot breath tickling my lips.
"They wanted t9 take y9u away fr9m me (Y/N). I c9uldn't all9w that." He growled.
We stared at each other unblinking.
"You want to know what I wished for?" I say knowing that I will instantly regret my next sentence.
"I wished that we never met." I spat.
Kankri stood in front of me in shock, but that shock quickly turned to anger as he kicked the stool out from under me. I hit the ground with a loud thud. He stood over me. In fear I tried to crawl away from him. He stopped me short, laying his foot roughly onto my chest.
"Take it back." He choked out as if he was about to cry
"If I take it back then I would be lying." I whisper, terrified.
Tears began to stream down his face as he lifted his foot above my head. My eyes grew with fear.
"Take it back!" He screeched.
His foot smashed down onto my skull with a loud crack. The last thing I remember was Kankri's screams as everything faded to black.
Once again I was surrounded by darkness. Why must I be so stubborn? It's going to get me killed.
