Description
You jumped up and ran to grab a bow and a dagger. Everything was in chaos people screaming in horror. Sollux tried to catch you but you were weaving through so many people he was loosing sight of you.

"_______!_______?!" he spun around looking for you in a haste, his blood organ pumping painfully fast.

You slinked up a tree knocking an arrow watching as blue bloods surrounded the camp, they were not going in yet save for the one that killed the watch man. With a deep breath you loosed the arrow it going cleaning through his armor into the skin of his side. A low growl had you running to the other tree flipping to change your spot, loosing another arrow. This time it slid between his ribs, by now others were flooding into the camp and many were fighting back. There were so many and it was hard enough to kill one. The blue blood had come to your tree and began slamming against it.

"Ah!" you yelped as you turned to look around for a way to get out.

Another was helping the injured blue blood and you were pinned. A cold sensation ran across your skin at that realization. You were trapped…trapped like a child…like…you shook
your head refusing to think about that.

"STRIDER, EGBERT!" you yelled out in desperation.

No sooner than you yelled than they run to you killing the one and forcing the other away enough to let you drop down. You felt the blood slick across the bottom of your feet, almost making you want to puke. You took a breath and ran into the camp firing arrows as you went and slashing the calves of a few. A pain ripped through you as a blade slipped through your side. Sollux was pushing through people screaming your name. He saw the blue bloods and growled, eyes crackling as he began to force them to the ground as the humans slashed at their throats. He heard a scream close to him turning to see you holding your side, red blood slipping from between your fingers. Growling you turned flipping the spear full of ridges, placing it in your hands. With a growl you shoved it into his chest, twisting, causing the blue blood to fall. Another replaced it almost immediately. He pressed you back making you fall over a fresh corpse.

You looked up as he raised the weapon about to let it fall on you. You waited for the blow but it never came. You looked in shock as a spear was raised against the weapon and snarls were traded. Sollux pressed against the stronger blue blood, his voice a spiral of snarls and growls as he bared his teeth at him. You worked quick grabbing up your dagger to slash the legs of the blue blood letting him fall to the ground and Sol end his life quickly. You looked around to see many others fighting. In a circle…you were being herded in a circle! They weren't going to kill you they were going to capture you!

"STRIDER THEY'RE HERDING US!" you shouted across the circle, "WE HAVE TO FORCE THEM BACK!"

He nodded, at that the entire circle heard you and the fighting became fiercer if possible. You paired with Sollux killing left and right, dark blue blood spilling on your skin. Many of the blue bloods were falling. A snarl left the indigo blood's mouth, it was irritated and dangerous. She grabbed the large morning star with spikes adorning it, beginning to walk forwards, letting it drag long deep grooves in the earth below her. She walked slinging the weapon breaking the trees around her.

The loud sound caused you to turn and see the she troll walking into the circle. She was slinging the weapon killing as she went, and moving towards you. You took a breath and she stopped in front of you, a grin cracked on her face. A killing grin…that grin…you froze so many things spilling in your eyes. She took a single swing and you couldn't move. You could feel the air, could already feel the blood that would splatter your side, the sound of breaking bones. Yet you didn't feel any of it…only when you blinked did you see, Sollux. He was in the air and now on the ground. Gold stained the grass.

"SOLLUX!" you screamed in pain and went to run but you were caught by your hair.

You were lifted up by your hair into the air, looking at the she trolls face who was still grinning.

"whAts wrOng wIgglEr? dId I jUst kIll yOUr bElOvEd lIttlE lOwblOOD?" she snarked, you felt
the urge to cry but settled for clawing at her arm.

Your nails raked down her arms digging into her skin. She didn't even flinch as you continued to squirm, she lightly shook you causing you to see black spots in your vision.

"_______!" John yelled causing Dave to turn and throw his sword cutting the troll and causing her to drop you.

"lIttlE pEst." She growled kicking you hard in your stomach and turning to Dave.

You struggled to stand up, struggled to even get off the ground. A blue blood lifted you up and was about to kill you when you felt something crush his hand pull you away, yet you didn't fall. You were floating for a moment before feeling the ground under your feet. You looked back to see Sollux leaning against the tree, panting for breath. His glasses had fallen off his face, you would've gawked. They were opposite, blue and red. Like his glasses but these seemed to be brighter, it was beautiful. You were however in the middle of a battle so gawking slipped into the back of your mind. You ran over to the troll holding him up, he griped you using you to keep him up right. His vision blurred with spots dotting it.

"_______, I'm thorry. I'm tho thorry. They came becauth of me. I'm thorry." He spoke, his head dipping down.

"Sollux, no! Stay awake, stay awake! You can't go to sleep just stay awake." You spoke setting him down and tilting his head up.

You turned around seeing the camp being pinned, you picked up a weapon and went to the other who were being bound and shoved in cages.

"_______! Get out of here!" John yelled as they pinned him down," Find us later!"

The she troll turned to see you bloodied and beaten, she growled and slapped you so hard you spun around. You fell to the ground, noises fading in and out, your vision failing. A smile that insured death pressed into your mind, the last thing you saw before the world went black. You shifted and opened your eyes to dull skies.

"It's about time you woke up, dear." You knew that voice, your eyes snapped.

An old woman with a grey braid of hair falling down by her face, resting slightly in her lap and vibrant green eyes staring at you. Wrinkles at the edges of her eyes and around her smile as she stoked a fire. A brown shawl over her shoulders a white shirt flowing over a brown skirt, her bare feet wrapped in rolls of white until it reached her toes where it stopped.

"MAG!" You yelled rushing over into her arms, tears slipped down your eyes as you buried you face in her shirt.

"Oh my sweet ______." She smiled wrapping her arms around you and stroking your head.

A thought suddenly crossed your mind making you jerk your head up.

"You're dead!" your eyes widened to the size of pancakes.

"Yes." She nodded.

"Does that mean I'm…." you shook scared to know the answer.

She chuckled, "No, no. Well not yet."

"What do you mean not yet." You looked like as if you'd turned into a ghost.

She stood grabbing your hand and walked over to a girl laying on the grass. Her blood stained the green under her, large rips crossed her skin, her eyes closed. You. The corpse was you. You couldn't move couldn't feel anything.

"______!" you heard a faded call of your name, and watched as an injured troll rushed over.

Sollux dropped to the corpse at his feet. Gold tears falling down his cheeks, his blood organ fell apart. He picked your corpse up burying his face in your shoulder.

'She's dead…dead and it's all my fault.' A voice pressed in his think pan.

"______, please wake up. Wake up! Wake up ______. You always wake when I tell you, please listen. Please wake up. Please." He cried pitifully into your shoulder, red blood running against his face, some dripping onto his lips.

The taste was pain and sorrow…mixed with a red feeling. Red. Humans called it love. His blood organ died as he continued to cry. Sobs raked his chest as he pulled back and looked at your eyes closed. He kissed your forehead, you cheek and the cold lips.

"Is he so precious to you? Precious enough to love him, dead as you are?" Old Mag asked looking at your face, watching tears fall on your face.

"Y-yes, he's precious to me." Your voice cracked.

"Well that's decided. Take a breath." She turned looking at you, with a soft smile.

"What?" no sooner than you spoke had Old Mag begun to fade, her smile staying for a moment.

You could feel pain burst through your body, searing across your skin. It was as if someone was killing you, ripping your skin apart. Sollux looked in shock as the corpse in his grip seemed to gain some heat. You took another breath, and sat up slightly, coughing. Blood spilled out of your mouth, falling onto the ground. You felt dizzy and sick as fell back into someone's arms, your eyes catching sight of the moon still in the sky. Sollux couldn't believe what he had seen, you'd died. He felt your corpse become cold and lifeless. He was more than sure you'd die, yet here you were breathing, coughing up blood, and moaning painfully.

"______?" He asked shocked.

"N-no the G-grand Highblood." You coughed.

He crashed his lips onto yours careful of his overbite. It tasted of blood and a taste that was solely Sollux. A heat rose like no other on your cheeks, and you froze for a moment before your eyes slid shut and you kissed back. Your hand reached up to pull him closer, and he pulled you closer. His other hand slid across your side crossing over one of the gashes.

"Ah!" you yelped pulling away, he pulled back an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm thorry." He ears flicked back.

"It's okay. It's okay but we need some band-ages." Your voice cracked and you winced.

He bit his lip not wanting to leave you, scared you'd die. He settled for picking you up like a bride and walked to the caravan that was left. It was the cell you had put Sollux in.

'Ironic.' Dave's voice rang in your ears.

He sat you down and blushed knowing he'd have to lift your shirt to clean the blue and red blood that crusted on your body.

He looked at you and begged, "Thay here and pleathe don't fall athleep"

He came back with some wraps, gauze and water with a rag. He sat down and blushed.

"It's okay, it's just to put wraps on." You spoke, and his blush deepened.

He nodded hesitantly, tucking the cloth under you're the soft skin of your bust, and watching as you leaned back against the wood, exhausted. You wanted to fall asleep but if you even blinked to long you knew he'd wake you up, he was scared enough and you didn't want make it worse. It wasn't as bad as he thought it would be considering you were covered in blood. He gently took the rag pressing it against your skin. The rag fell red on contact as he rubbed the blood away finding skin and slim but deep cuts. You winced some times as he crossed some of them. He wrapped all of the wounds on your body. You pulled your shirt down noticing he was getting a little dizzy.

"Sollux…" you spoke cautiously, reaching out.

He tried to push your hands away and smiled. You nearly growled at his stubbornness. A sudden idea fell into your mind as you leaned forwards. You lips barely brushed against his as a bright red blush filled your cheeks and he looked slightly intoxicated at the touch. With a small move you slightly lifted the black shirt lightly brushing the edge of a gash on his stomach blood crusted on the edge. You lightly pushed him back. His dual eyes snapped open realizing what you'd done.

"that'th cheating." He spoke, looking at you slightly irritated.

"Your hurt and loosing blood." You spoke, the blush still not gone.

He looked away pained at you gently press of his fingers. You pushed the shirt up and over his head. Even blood covered you could see the slim, taunt skin pulled over lean muscles, it made you blush so much you thought you'd die again from all the blood rushing to your cheeks.

"Heh, thoming wrong ______?" a type of smugness to his voice.

You shook you head and took the rag rubbing the grey skin until the rag turned yellow. The gash wasn't as bad as your own but still bad. You finished wrapping him up.

"I'm thorry, I caused thith. All of it." He spoke, his head leaned down.

"It's not your fault, not your fault." You ran your hands through his hair, "you didn't."

You turned picking up the bowl full of red and gold blood and tossed it out. You looked at the ground, it was littered with corpses. You saw blue bloods and humans alike filled the ground. A sigh left your lips, you needed to get them back, needed to find John and Dave. Sollux walked up behind you shirt back on, not wanting to loose sight of you, looking at the scene of corpses he caused. He wrapped his arms around you and let his head drop into your shoulder.

"Sollux, can you help me bury them." You whispered, voice strained.

He nodded, "Not today, your still heavily hurt. We'll do it tomorrow, if you feel better."

You turned, hiding from the smells, sight and pain of the corpses that littered the ground. So much dead and you couldn't help feeling it was your fault. Sollux pulled you closer, closing his eyes against the sight.

"c'mon, thleep." He pulled you into the small caravan and laid down.

You laid down using his arm as a pillow, he pressed you closer wrapping and arm around your waist. He needed you this close, needed to feel you breathing. Needed to know you were alive, needed it. If he didn't he would wake up in a frenzy every minute. You fell into sleep balling your fist in his shirt, burying your nose into his chest. You needed this, needed to know he was there, need to know you weren't gone. The night coiled into day as red and gold spilled across the sky. You shifted in a hold that made you feel warm. Your eyes flickered open, to see Sollux's nose resting on the dip between your nose and forehead. He was sleeping snoring softly, you couldn't help but nuzzled against him.

"Sollux, we need to get up." You whispered, against the skin of his neck.

He moaned in disagreement but opened his eyes anyways and yawned. Looking down at you a soft smile on his face, he leaned down kissing your forehead.

"We need to make the graves and eat." You sighed shifting to get up ignoring the pain in your body.

He nodded sitting up and helping you up. You both didn't say anything just walked out grabbing some of the shovels the others used to fight off the blue bloods and began digging graves. You had gotten most of them done, even the trolls that attacked you, by the time your stomach forced you to stop and find some food. Squirrels weren't a good meal but at least some food as you and Sol ate. A loud snap had you turning left to see a figure you'd rather not. That oh so glorious leader was standing there looking around then saw the only troll alive and growled.

You picked up a dagger and stood, "where were you?"

"I was trying to scout when I was captured by some of those brutes." He lied and you could tell.

"I'm not stupid nor am I gullible. WHERE WERE YOU." You demanded, tightening the grip on your dagger.

"Hey don't be mad at me. I didn't cause this, that THING behind you did." He accused.

"How did you know? How did you even know that this would happen, blue bloods are not known for their gloating. How did you know." You stalked forwards, nothing but anger in your eyes.

He stepped back a little, "I uh I didn't."

"Liar. You knew, you helped that she troll plan this didn't you. You let her slaughter you friends! You let her kill the people who were kind and helped you! You caused the others to get captured! It was you!" you screamed lunging out for him.

He moved quickly out of your way and you winced at you moved to quickly and your side burst into pain. You couldn't care less as you swiped you leg catching his feet and dropping him to the ground. You climbed on top of him, slamming him to the ground.

"YOU DID THIS!" another slam to the ground.

He grunted in pain before kicking you off. The pain didn't register as your side began to bleed again.

"_______!" Sollux tried to get to you in order to calm you down at least, you weren't listening.

That vile thing now had you pinned but you didn't worry. Instead you brought your leg up between his knees causing him to yell out in pain. He rolled of you and you stood kicking him in the gut and grabbing his leg breaking it over your own, snatching the other to twist it out of place. Sollux grabbed you pulling you away, you struggled snarling and kicking to get away from him.

"______! You don't want thith! You don't want blood on you handth!" he tried to reason and failed.

"The hell I do! Let me kill him! Let go Sollux! Let go!" you yanked against him, causing him to stumble and accidently loose his grip both of you falling forwards.

You sat up quickly and ran to the evil person crawling across the ground. You grasped him just as the Gemini grasped you. You turned snarling at the troll only to see him looking at you pitifully.

"Think. For a minute, juth calm down and think. Do you really want thith." He pleaded, you growled looking back at the man…not even a man…in your grasp.

"No. I have a different idea. Hold him while I get some rope." You dropped him to the ground and came back moments later with some rope.

You had dragged him to a tree and tied him to it.

"What are you doing with me?" he asked terrified, you said nothing but dropped to your knees.

The dagger gleamed in the day's rays as you stabbed his legs, raking it down to his feet. A loud scream pierced the air as you continued to let the metal dig into the flesh of his leg. The gashed were enough to where he wouldn't bleed out. You threw the blood dripping dagger to the ground. You grasped his face with your hand.

"You will live until the wolves come to pick you clean." You snarled, watching his eyes widen, " I hope they take their time."

Sollux was too scared to stop you as you turned walking past him, "we need to finish the graves."

You went to pick the shovel up and the troll stopped you.

"You're bleeding." As he spoke you could feel blood seeping through your shirt and a pain burst in your side.

"Uhg." You sighed feeling the pain slipped through you.

He picked you up ignoring your protest to make him put you down. He rolled his eyes.

"I lotht you once already, I'm not going to let you bleed to death. " He spoke, his voice rumbling trhough his chest.

"I'm not going to bleed to death from walking." You mumbled as he sat you down, smiling at the blush on your face.

He only shook his head and lifted your shirt again to see you side. He sighed and began to rewrap your side, tossing the other rags to the side.

"You need to be careful for gog thake." He lightly scolded, "I'll finish the graveth and we'll go to find where the indigo blood took them."

You nodded he brushed your hair from your face, "We'll get them back I thwear."

Description
You jumped up and ran to grab a bow and a dagger. Everything was in chaos people screaming in horror. Sollux tried to catch you but you were weaving through so many people he was loosing sight of you.

"_______!_______?!" he spun around looking for you in a haste, his blood organ pumping painfully fast.

You slinked up a tree knocking an arrow watching as blue bloods surrounded the camp, they were not going in yet save for the one that killed the watch man. With a deep breath you loosed the arrow it going cleaning through his armor into the skin of his side. A low growl had you running to the other tree flipping to change your spot, loosing another arrow. This time it slid between his ribs, by now others were flooding into the camp and many were fighting back. There were so many and it was hard enough to kill one. The blue blood had come to your tree and began slamming against it.

"Ah!" you yelped as you turned to look around for a way to get out.

Another was helping the injured blue blood and you were pinned. A cold sensation ran across your skin at that realization. You were trapped…trapped like a child…like…you shook
your head refusing to think about that.

"STRIDER, EGBERT!" you yelled out in desperation.

No sooner than you yelled than they run to you killing the one and forcing the other away enough to let you drop down. You felt the blood slick across the bottom of your feet, almost making you want to puke. You took a breath and ran into the camp firing arrows as you went and slashing the calves of a few. A pain ripped through you as a blade slipped through your side. Sollux was pushing through people screaming your name. He saw the blue bloods and growled, eyes crackling as he began to force them to the ground as the humans slashed at their throats. He heard a scream close to him turning to see you holding your side, red blood slipping from between your fingers. Growling you turned flipping the spear full of ridges, placing it in your hands. With a growl you shoved it into his chest, twisting, causing the blue blood to fall. Another replaced it almost immediately. He pressed you back making you fall over a fresh corpse.

You looked up as he raised the weapon about to let it fall on you. You waited for the blow but it never came. You looked in shock as a spear was raised against the weapon and snarls were traded. Sollux pressed against the stronger blue blood, his voice a spiral of snarls and growls as he bared his teeth at him. You worked quick grabbing up your dagger to slash the legs of the blue blood letting him fall to the ground and Sol end his life quickly. You looked around to see many others fighting. In a circle…you were being herded in a circle! They weren't going to kill you they were going to capture you!

"STRIDER THEY'RE HERDING US!" you shouted across the circle, "WE HAVE TO FORCE THEM BACK!"

He nodded, at that the entire circle heard you and the fighting became fiercer if possible. You paired with Sollux killing left and right, dark blue blood spilling on your skin. Many of the blue bloods were falling. A snarl left the indigo blood's mouth, it was irritated and dangerous. She grabbed the large morning star with spikes adorning it, beginning to walk forwards, letting it drag long deep grooves in the earth below her. She walked slinging the weapon breaking the trees around her.

The loud sound caused you to turn and see the she troll walking into the circle. She was slinging the weapon killing as she went, and moving towards you. You took a breath and she stopped in front of you, a grin cracked on her face. A killing grin…that grin…you froze so many things spilling in your eyes. She took a single swing and you couldn't move. You could feel the air, could already feel the blood that would splatter your side, the sound of breaking bones. Yet you didn't feel any of it…only when you blinked did you see, Sollux. He was in the air and now on the ground. Gold stained the grass.

"SOLLUX!" you screamed in pain and went to run but you were caught by your hair.

You were lifted up by your hair into the air, looking at the she trolls face who was still grinning.

"whAts wrOng wIgglEr? dId I jUst kIll yOUr bElOvEd lIttlE lOwblOOD?" she snarked, you felt
the urge to cry but settled for clawing at her arm.

Your nails raked down her arms digging into her skin. She didn't even flinch as you continued to squirm, she lightly shook you causing you to see black spots in your vision.

"_______!" John yelled causing Dave to turn and throw his sword cutting the troll and causing her to drop you.

"lIttlE pEst." She growled kicking you hard in your stomach and turning to Dave.

You struggled to stand up, struggled to even get off the ground. A blue blood lifted you up and was about to kill you when you felt something crush his hand pull you away, yet you didn't fall. You were floating for a moment before feeling the ground under your feet. You looked back to see Sollux leaning against the tree, panting for breath. His glasses had fallen off his face, you would've gawked. They were opposite, blue and red. Like his glasses but these seemed to be brighter, it was beautiful. You were however in the middle of a battle so gawking slipped into the back of your mind. You ran over to the troll holding him up, he griped you using you to keep him up right. His vision blurred with spots dotting it.

"_______, I'm thorry. I'm tho thorry. They came becauth of me. I'm thorry." He spoke, his head dipping down.

"Sollux, no! Stay awake, stay awake! You can't go to sleep just stay awake." You spoke setting him down and tilting his head up.

You turned around seeing the camp being pinned, you picked up a weapon and went to the other who were being bound and shoved in cages.

"_______! Get out of here!" John yelled as they pinned him down," Find us later!"

The she troll turned to see you bloodied and beaten, she growled and slapped you so hard you spun around. You fell to the ground, noises fading in and out, your vision failing. A smile that insured death pressed into your mind, the last thing you saw before the world went black. You shifted and opened your eyes to dull skies.

"It's about time you woke up, dear." You knew that voice, your eyes snapped.

An old woman with a grey braid of hair falling down by her face, resting slightly in her lap and vibrant green eyes staring at you. Wrinkles at the edges of her eyes and around her smile as she stoked a fire. A brown shawl over her shoulders a white shirt flowing over a brown skirt, her bare feet wrapped in rolls of white until it reached her toes where it stopped.

"MAG!" You yelled rushing over into her arms, tears slipped down your eyes as you buried you face in her shirt.

"Oh my sweet ______." She smiled wrapping her arms around you and stroking your head.

A thought suddenly crossed your mind making you jerk your head up.

"You're dead!" your eyes widened to the size of pancakes.

"Yes." She nodded.

"Does that mean I'm…." you shook scared to know the answer.

She chuckled, "No, no. Well not yet."

"What do you mean not yet." You looked like as if you'd turned into a ghost.

She stood grabbing your hand and walked over to a girl laying on the grass. Her blood stained the green under her, large rips crossed her skin, her eyes closed. You. The corpse was you. You couldn't move couldn't feel anything.

"______!" you heard a faded call of your name, and watched as an injured troll rushed over.

Sollux dropped to the corpse at his feet. Gold tears falling down his cheeks, his blood organ fell apart. He picked your corpse up burying his face in your shoulder.

'She's dead…dead and it's all my fault.' A voice pressed in his think pan.

"______, please wake up. Wake up! Wake up ______. You always wake when I tell you, please listen. Please wake up. Please." He cried pitifully into your shoulder, red blood running against his face, some dripping onto his lips.

The taste was pain and sorrow…mixed with a red feeling. Red. Humans called it love. His blood organ died as he continued to cry. Sobs raked his chest as he pulled back and looked at your eyes closed. He kissed your forehead, you cheek and the cold lips.

"Is he so precious to you? Precious enough to love him, dead as you are?" Old Mag asked looking at your face, watching tears fall on your face.

"Y-yes, he's precious to me." Your voice cracked.

"Well that's decided. Take a breath." She turned looking at you, with a soft smile.

"What?" no sooner than you spoke had Old Mag begun to fade, her smile staying for a moment.

You could feel pain burst through your body, searing across your skin. It was as if someone was killing you, ripping your skin apart. Sollux looked in shock as the corpse in his grip seemed to gain some heat. You took another breath, and sat up slightly, coughing. Blood spilled out of your mouth, falling onto the ground. You felt dizzy and sick as fell back into someone's arms, your eyes catching sight of the moon still in the sky. Sollux couldn't believe what he had seen, you'd died. He felt your corpse become cold and lifeless. He was more than sure you'd die, yet here you were breathing, coughing up blood, and moaning painfully.

"______?" He asked shocked.

"N-no the G-grand Highblood." You coughed.

He crashed his lips onto yours careful of his overbite. It tasted of blood and a taste that was solely Sollux. A heat rose like no other on your cheeks, and you froze for a moment before your eyes slid shut and you kissed back. Your hand reached up to pull him closer, and he pulled you closer. His other hand slid across your side crossing over one of the gashes.

"Ah!" you yelped pulling away, he pulled back an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm thorry." He ears flicked back.

"It's okay. It's okay but we need some band-ages." Your voice cracked and you winced.

He bit his lip not wanting to leave you, scared you'd die. He settled for picking you up like a bride and walked to the caravan that was left. It was the cell you had put Sollux in.

'Ironic.' Dave's voice rang in your ears.

He sat you down and blushed knowing he'd have to lift your shirt to clean the blue and red blood that crusted on your body.

He looked at you and begged, "Thay here and pleathe don't fall athleep"

He came back with some wraps, gauze and water with a rag. He sat down and blushed.

"It's okay, it's just to put wraps on." You spoke, and his blush deepened.

He nodded hesitantly, tucking the cloth under you're the soft skin of your bust, and watching as you leaned back against the wood, exhausted. You wanted to fall asleep but if you even blinked to long you knew he'd wake you up, he was scared enough and you didn't want make it worse. It wasn't as bad as he thought it would be considering you were covered in blood. He gently took the rag pressing it against your skin. The rag fell red on contact as he rubbed the blood away finding skin and slim but deep cuts. You winced some times as he crossed some of them. He wrapped all of the wounds on your body. You pulled your shirt down noticing he was getting a little dizzy.

"Sollux…" you spoke cautiously, reaching out.

He tried to push your hands away and smiled. You nearly growled at his stubbornness. A sudden idea fell into your mind as you leaned forwards. You lips barely brushed against his as a bright red blush filled your cheeks and he looked slightly intoxicated at the touch. With a small move you slightly lifted the black shirt lightly brushing the edge of a gash on his stomach blood crusted on the edge. You lightly pushed him back. His dual eyes snapped open realizing what you'd done.

"that'th cheating." He spoke, looking at you slightly irritated.

"Your hurt and loosing blood." You spoke, the blush still not gone.

He looked away pained at you gently press of his fingers. You pushed the shirt up and over his head. Even blood covered you could see the slim, taunt skin pulled over lean muscles, it made you blush so much you thought you'd die again from all the blood rushing to your cheeks.

"Heh, thoming wrong ______?" a type of smugness to his voice.

You shook you head and took the rag rubbing the grey skin until the rag turned yellow. The gash wasn't as bad as your own but still bad. You finished wrapping him up.

"I'm thorry, I caused thith. All of it." He spoke, his head leaned down.

"It's not your fault, not your fault." You ran your hands through his hair, "you didn't."

You turned picking up the bowl full of red and gold blood and tossed it out. You looked at the ground, it was littered with corpses. You saw blue bloods and humans alike filled the ground. A sigh left your lips, you needed to get them back, needed to find John and Dave. Sollux walked up behind you shirt back on, not wanting to loose sight of you, looking at the scene of corpses he caused. He wrapped his arms around you and let his head drop into your shoulder.

"Sollux, can you help me bury them." You whispered, voice strained.

He nodded, "Not today, your still heavily hurt. We'll do it tomorrow, if you feel better."

You turned, hiding from the smells, sight and pain of the corpses that littered the ground. So much dead and you couldn't help feeling it was your fault. Sollux pulled you closer, closing his eyes against the sight.

"c'mon, thleep." He pulled you into the small caravan and laid down.

You laid down using his arm as a pillow, he pressed you closer wrapping and arm around your waist. He needed you this close, needed to feel you breathing. Needed to know you were alive, needed it. If he didn't he would wake up in a frenzy every minute. You fell into sleep balling your fist in his shirt, burying your nose into his chest. You needed this, needed to know he was there, need to know you weren't gone. The night coiled into day as red and gold spilled across the sky. You shifted in a hold that made you feel warm. Your eyes flickered open, to see Sollux's nose resting on the dip between your nose and forehead. He was sleeping snoring softly, you couldn't help but nuzzled against him.

"Sollux, we need to get up." You whispered, against the skin of his neck.

He moaned in disagreement but opened his eyes anyways and yawned. Looking down at you a soft smile on his face, he leaned down kissing your forehead.

"We need to make the graves and eat." You sighed shifting to get up ignoring the pain in your body.

He nodded sitting up and helping you up. You both didn't say anything just walked out grabbing some of the shovels the others used to fight off the blue bloods and began digging graves. You had gotten most of them done, even the trolls that attacked you, by the time your stomach forced you to stop and find some food. Squirrels weren't a good meal but at least some food as you and Sol ate. A loud snap had you turning left to see a figure you'd rather not. That oh so glorious leader was standing there looking around then saw the only troll alive and growled.

You picked up a dagger and stood, "where were you?"

"I was trying to scout when I was captured by some of those brutes." He lied and you could tell.

"I'm not stupid nor am I gullible. WHERE WERE YOU." You demanded, tightening the grip on your dagger.

"Hey don't be mad at me. I didn't cause this, that THING behind you did." He accused.

"How did you know? How did you even know that this would happen, blue bloods are not known for their gloating. How did you know." You stalked forwards, nothing but anger in your eyes.

He stepped back a little, "I uh I didn't."

"Liar. You knew, you helped that she troll plan this didn't you. You let her slaughter you friends! You let her kill the people who were kind and helped you! You caused the others to get captured! It was you!" you screamed lunging out for him.

He moved quickly out of your way and you winced at you moved to quickly and your side burst into pain. You couldn't care less as you swiped you leg catching his feet and dropping him to the ground. You climbed on top of him, slamming him to the ground.

"YOU DID THIS!" another slam to the ground.

He grunted in pain before kicking you off. The pain didn't register as your side began to bleed again.

"_______!" Sollux tried to get to you in order to calm you down at least, you weren't listening.

That vile thing now had you pinned but you didn't worry. Instead you brought your leg up between his knees causing him to yell out in pain. He rolled of you and you stood kicking him in the gut and grabbing his leg breaking it over your own, snatching the other to twist it out of place. Sollux grabbed you pulling you away, you struggled snarling and kicking to get away from him.

"______! You don't want thith! You don't want blood on you handth!" he tried to reason and failed.

"The hell I do! Let me kill him! Let go Sollux! Let go!" you yanked against him, causing him to stumble and accidently loose his grip both of you falling forwards.

You sat up quickly and ran to the evil person crawling across the ground. You grasped him just as the Gemini grasped you. You turned snarling at the troll only to see him looking at you pitifully.

"Think. For a minute, juth calm down and think. Do you really want thith." He pleaded, you growled looking back at the man…not even a man…in your grasp.

"No. I have a different idea. Hold him while I get some rope." You dropped him to the ground and came back moments later with some rope.

You had dragged him to a tree and tied him to it.

"What are you doing with me?" he asked terrified, you said nothing but dropped to your knees.

The dagger gleamed in the day's rays as you stabbed his legs, raking it down to his feet. A loud scream pierced the air as you continued to let the metal dig into the flesh of his leg. The gashed were enough to where he wouldn't bleed out. You threw the blood dripping dagger to the ground. You grasped his face with your hand.

"You will live until the wolves come to pick you clean." You snarled, watching his eyes widen, " I hope they take their time."

Sollux was too scared to stop you as you turned walking past him, "we need to finish the graves."

You went to pick the shovel up and the troll stopped you.

"You're bleeding." As he spoke you could feel blood seeping through your shirt and a pain burst in your side.

"Uhg." You sighed feeling the pain slipped through you.

He picked you up ignoring your protest to make him put you down. He rolled his eyes.

"I lotht you once already, I'm not going to let you bleed to death. " He spoke, his voice rumbling trhough his chest.

"I'm not going to bleed to death from walking." You mumbled as he sat you down, smiling at the blush on your face.

He only shook his head and lifted your shirt again to see you side. He sighed and began to rewrap your side, tossing the other rags to the side.

"You need to be careful for gog thake." He lightly scolded, "I'll finish the graveth and we'll go to find where the indigo blood took them."

You nodded he brushed your hair from your face, "We'll get them back I thwear."
