Your breathing hitched for a moment. The feeling in the room was different then it normally was. You open your eyes a little and gasped, fear filling your head. This wasn't a familiar room. You looked around and saw Faygo bottles and empty pie tins littering the floor. You put your hand down but jumped when you heard it honk. You looked down and saw yourself laying on a horn pile. Attempting to figure out what happened you didn't notice that there was another presence. Your body tensed at the feeling of arms wrapping around you from behind. "Sup lil mama?" You yelped and started struggling in his grip. "Woah woah! Damn sis calm down. I ain't gonna motherfucking hurt ya." You stopped for a moment and managed to slip out one of your arms, you jerked your elbow back. He let out a small scream and let go. You bolted upwards and ran towards the door. Flinging it open and running down the hall into the bathroom. You slammed the door shut and locked it behind you. You looked around fearfully and felt your heart jump as you saw an open window. The breeze caressing your hair and cooling your face. Running over to the window you looked out and silently gasped. It's was on the second story, but there was a smaller roof beneath you. You hopped out onto the rough roof and yelped as you felt yourself slip. Your hands frantically trying to grip onto something but fail. You slid down but gripped the edge. Looking down your eyes widened, it was gonna hurt if you let go. You looked up at the bathroom window and saw something trying to break down the door. You immediately felt fear takeover and you let go. The breath was knocked out of you and you laid on the wet grass for a moment before crawling towards the sidewalk. Your body slowly picked itself up and you limped your way down the cement. Your arm slightly bleeding as your other hand held it. Tears started building up in your glassy (e/c) eyes and you felt your body give in. You fell to your knees and turned your head a little. A small smile graced your lips as you saw that his hive was no longer in view. Feeling your head spin you stared down at the sidewalk. Your eyes trying to keep themselves open but the weight on them too dense. They closed and the air came across you as your body fell forward. The last thing you heard or felt, was two muscular arms catching you before you hit the ground. A mutter came from the person and you couldn't make it out, but you knew that it had a slight accent to it.

(Time skip)

Your body shivered heavily, tears filled your eyes and you heard your own scream, it all felt so...real. Seconds after this you heard a door burst open and the sound of feet running towards you. The familiar voices rang through your ears. "Wwhat the hell happened to her?!" "Hovw bout ye don't ask questions an vwait til Cronus comes back." The first voice had an image printed in your mind. You knew them. But the second one didn't remind you of anyone. You felt a hand on your forehead and you jerked away. Tears slowly stopped as you just laid there. Feeling a thumb slowly rub circles on your head. Your brows had furrowed slightly but you had relaxed as it continued. Your body has fully relaxed and you felt the hand pull away. Your eyes opened a little and you were startled a little by the troll in front of you. He looked like Cronus but a little older. Two jagged scars lined the side of his face and damaged one of his eyes. His vision was slightly blurred in that eye, but he could still see. He wore what looked like violet armor. Just by looking at it you knew it was heavy, most likely heavier then you. You had lost quite a bit of weight ever since everything started happening. He noticed your stare and smiled, his teeth slightly showing. "Sorry if I scared ya lass, I don't believe we ave met before. I'm Dualscar, ye can call me Dual fer short." You nodded and he grinned slightly before getting up and leaving the room. You sighed and snuggled deep into the covers. Eridan walked into the room and smiled. "So uhmm howw have you been?" He asked nervously, obvious that he was trying to start a conversation. You looked down at the covers and spaced out slightly. His frame tensed as he remembered. "I- sorry. I didn't mean-" "it's fine." You replied quietly and quickly. Your heart pounding in your head, you sighed before laying down again. He walked over to you and knelt down. His soft hand placing itself on your head. His cold skin making you jump.
He was silent as he lowered his hand and left the room. You curled into a ball, tears starting to heavily glaze over your eyes. The silent troll you once knew was long gone, a poisonous obsession corrupted his mind whenever it got the chance.
You felt warm tears run down your quivering cheeks. Everything was perfect at first, everyone was here and alive. The only Makara you could trust was Nashir (Grand Highblood). At least you knew he was smarter then the younger ones. He had even been nice..well sometimes, when you first met them that is. You felt like it was funny to call any Makara sane, but he was the only one that was most of the time. Your ears had started ringing and your vision was completely blurred from tears that streamed down your face. You didn't even notice the door open and someone walk in. Your body jerked as you felt a rough hand on your shoulder. "Ay lass, ya doin alright?" The voice was the same one from when you first woke. Your breathing was shaky and your voice would've shook along with it. So you just nodded. It went quiet for a moment but it was broken by the feeling of arms wrapping around you. Your eyes widened and you froze. Even if he didn't use any strength you could tell that he could do damage. A lot more then Kurloz. He loosened his grip as he felt you freeze. You were speechless as you just sat on the bed, his arms stayed around you. He had gotten the wrong message and started to pull away. But without knowing why you wrapped your arms around his neck and more tears poured down your cheeks as you cried. He froze for a second but relaxed and hugged back. His body rocking yours softly as you sobbed. Your eyes started to grow heavy and you felt yourself getting tired, it had been about thirty minutes since you started crying, and it had finally died down. Your head laid on his shoulder and you sniffled. His arms unraveled and lightly laid you down. Your eyes falling shut before you laid against the pillow. You felt his presence linger in the room, before hearing the door open and close behind his presence. You felt the need to stay awake for some reason, but your body protested.

I had just left the hospital as I felt my my phone vibrate in my pocket. Picking it up and looking at the number, I groaned in annoyance as I saw it was Eridan. But out of curiosity I answered. "Hey chief, vwhats up?" "Cronus? Oh wwoww you actually answwered." I rolled my eyes and stared walking to my hive. "Yeah yeah, ya need a tampon hun?" I grinned as I heard him growl. "Anywways, so you knoww howw Dual wwas gonna leave for his hive today?" My expression turned bitter as he mentioned him. "Yeah." I said in a monotone voice. "Wwell, he wwas on his wway but then he..uhhh.....kinda found (y/n)." My body tensed and I nearly shattered the phone as I held it tighter. "Vwhat the fuck do you mean." "He found her only a block awway from...egh, Gamzee's hive." He sounded disgusted as he said the makaras name. I stopped dead in my tracks and felt anger boil up. That sick fuck was letting his dumbass dancestor take her with him. I started speed walking to the hive as our conversation continued. "So hovw did she react?" "Wwell..she kinda fell unconscious, so he brought her back her and she fell asleep...again." My bloodpumper jumped and flipped slightly. "I'll be ovver as soon as possible." I ended the call before he could respond and immediately started running towards the hive.

You felt a slim hand run its shaky fingers across your cheek. Your body shook and your brows furrowed. A soft whimper left your lips. Tears started gathering at the thought of 'him' being anywhere near you. The hand stopped for a moment as the sound left your lips. The thumb slowly ran across your cheek and gently pressed against your bottom lip. Your breathing started getting faster and you felt a tear roll down your cheek. You felt a pair of familiar stitched lips lightly rub against your ear. Your head started pounding and you hearing a voice deep inside your head whisper nonsense. His teeth nibbling at your ear through the stitches as you felt more tears go down your cheeks.

A sob ripped through your throat as you shot up in bed, gritting your teeth you curled into a ball. Crying softly. Your head lifted quickly as the door burst open, a tired yet scared Dualscar had slammed the door open as his chest raised and lowered at a rapid pace. His eyes looked at your form. He sighed lowly and shut the door behind him as he walked over to you. He sat down on the bed and lightly gripped your shoulders. You looked up at him slowly. "Lass, yer not okay." You bit your lip as sadness overwhelmed you and you wanted to break down but you held it in. Your eyes refusing to meet his. He went quiet and slowly tipped your head up farther, to where your eyes met. His eyes staring deeply into yours. A blush lightly covered your cheeks as you felt his face slowly leaning towards yours until his warm breath ran across your lips. "Dual?" You whispered but froze as you felt his lips press against yours. His tongue gently opened your mouth and you felt him push you back onto the mattress. He pulled away panting slightly. Your blush had darkened and your lips were parted slightly. Soft pants leaving your lips. His fins lowered. "I-......I apologize lass, I didn't... mean to do that." His hand rubbed the back of his neck and you swore you saw a blush on his cheeks. "It's o-okay." You stuttered and he looked down at you, smirking as his teeth were shown. You hid your face with your hands out of embarrassment and he chuckled. You felt the weight on the bed shift and heard him step onto the floor. He stretched a little and turned around, you uncovered your eyes to look at him. "Ya think you'll be okay for tha night (y/n)?" You went quiet but fear filled you as you remembered the dream. Your body started trembling and you felt tears lightly glaze over your (e/c) eyes. You felt his hands on your shoulders. "I can stay with ya for the night if it helps." You looked up at him with fear your eyes and nodded. He smiled and you gasped as you felt him pick you up and lay you down on his chest before pulling the blanket over. You yawned softly and snuggled into his chest. He wrapped his arms around you under the blanket. You smiled and felt yourself drifting into sleep.

(WOAH YOU THOUGHT I WOULD LEAVE THE AMPORAS OUT, NOPE)
