Charred Feathers - A Davekat Fanfic

Dave Strider is your typical 15 year old coolkid; cocky, a smartass, ironic. But, he isn't as normal as you may think. As a baby, his bro immediately knew there was something wrong with him, and left him for dead to be raised by Dirk. Dirk, concerned for his little brother's growing symptoms, decided to take him to see a doctor. The pediatrician, however, couldn't find anything wrong with the child. Feeling hopeless, Dirk did the last hope option in his mind by bringing him to a young witch doctor. She easily figured out what was wrong with him, explaining he'd been cursed by his denizen. (Although, he had no idea as to what that meant.) She gave Dave a potion of both herbs and chemicals, explaining it would ease the pain while limiting the transformation to a mere few feathers or so. Grateful, Dave now spends his highschool days worrying more of popularity rather than his curse. But, when Karkat Vantas visits for a sleepover, things take a turn for the worst.

This is my first story on this account, so constructive criticism is much appreciated.
