Karkat POV;
Honk. HONK. HONK! The echoes of the dreaded honking penetrated Karkat's soul like a dagger as he sprinted down the never-ending hallways. His breathing was rapid and his legs screamed with silent agony, but he knew that he would surely be slaughtered by that homicidal clown if he dared to stop... Honk. Gamzee was nowhere in sight, but the nubby-horned demon knew that he trailed closely behind. The shadows etched the walls in which surrounded him and seemed to reach out, trying to consume him. What had happened to his friend? What happened to the very troll who was always there for him? …Where did everything go wrong?
Questions and emotions swirled and collided in Karkat's skull as he continued to run from his end. Honk. He needed some sort of defense. And quick. He suddenly remembered about his sickle he kept in his respitblock. He ran towards his door, more excited than ever. He rushed into the room, and quickly surveyed his surroundings.
Walking to the grey drawers, Karkat searched each of the drawers one by one, desperately trying to find his weapon. As he opened the last drawer, a silver gleam caught his attention and a huge wave of relief came over him. Oh thank god it's still there. He grabbed the handle, with hands sweating and trembling like mad. The blade was as sharp as ever and glistened in the light as the troll held it.
'Hopefully, I won't have to use it at all,' Karkat thought to himself, 'but just in case…' With fingers entwined around the handle, the he slowly approached the door. He tightened his grip on the sickle as he cautiously opened the door, examining each direction for any sight of Gamzee. The hallway was clear, but something seemed off… It was way too quiet. It was as if time itself had stopped. Karkat stepped into the hall, trying his hardest not to make a sound. He stood there for a few moments, trying to devise a plan. HONK! Karkat jumped at the sudden noise. Gamzee was close. Honk. HONK! Honk. HONK! Honk. The honking mixed with the juggalo's maniacal laugh as he drew nearer.
