"-I would like to thank everyone for my amazing achievement of being a fucking dipshit! Bravo! What an idiot, bravo!" Dave said. He was originally apologising for spilling apple juice over one of Roses books, but found himself on yet another self deprecating tangent, of which he had a lot in the dream bubbles."Dave, you're over reacting way-" A glass smashing interrupted Rose. The ectosiblings turned their heads to see that Kanaya was standing in place as stiff as the dead, the glass having slipped from her hand."Kanaya? Are you alright?" Rose asked, placing a hand gently on her shoulder and matching Kanayas eye-line down the corridor."They're Here." Kanaya whispered, fear filing her voice as she stared down the hallway. Both Dave and Rose looked deep into the corridor, squinting, Kanayas eyesight much more suited to low light environment.Dave and Rose saw them trudging towards them through the darkness. The hero of light snatched both Dave and Kanaya's hand and began running as fast as she could while ardently whipping her head around in search around for Karkat, praying that he wasn't infected."Shit SHIT!" Dave blurted, not wanting to raise his voice too loud in case it would aggravate their pursuers. "How the fuck are they here, I thought that this place was secure.""Secure Is Not The Same As Abandoned, Dave." Kanaya said, attempting to comfort Dave but only resulting in upsetting him."I think I fucking know that now Kanaya!" Dave yelled, Rose squeezing both of their hands."Shut the fuck up, both of you. We need to find Karkat before we try to leave, otherwise he might get infected." Rose demanded, all of them reluctantly silencing until..."Karkat! There you fucking are dude! Quick, we've got to fucking go before-" They all stopped in their tracks, breathing sighs of relief. "Karkat?" His face was twisted, as if he was screaming in agony, but didn't have enough control over his slackened facial muscles to portray that, a harsh and forced breath exiting his bloodied mouth, followed by white spores.
