Notes
See the end of the work for notes
***** Chapter 1 *****
He was sitting, listening, to the two brothers of his fighting in the living
room. Dave didn't want this yelling, it was making him even more on edge. It
was making him curl in his legs and scratch at them. The yells make him try to
bite his lip clean off.
Dirk was walking toward the door with his jacket in one hand and keys in
another. Bro grabbed his elbow, he yelled again," Dirk! I'm not fucking saying
this again!! You're not fucking going!!"
Dirk snapped and pushed the elder brother of the Strider's away,"Look!! I'm not
stopping my life because that little shit got himself knocked out, bent over
and thrown somewhere to die!!That's not my fucking problem!!!" He yelled high
and dangerously. He was on edge himself, through. Everyone forgets how he
feels. They forget he got shot. That he was toyed with too. He wasn't supposed
to deal with this type of shit, but he is. 
There was a crash and thumps. Dave panicked and got up from the floor of his
room, out his door. He ran down the hall, he saw Bro having Dirk pinned into
the wall. The picture of the Strider family, that was on a coffee table, tipped
over and on the floor. Bro punched Dirk once, twice, three times. Dirk found a
way to shove him off and kick the older bro off balance. Bro quickly recovered,
it gave Dave enough time to just run between the two. He grabs Bro by his shirt
in distress and begs as Bro keeps charging,"Stop it! Stop the fucking
fighting!"He stops but looks behind Dave. He turns around, letting go of his
shirt. He sees Dirk huffing and puffing with breath. Lookin' like the fuckin'
big bad wolf. He walks toward Dave, Dave steps back a couple times, Dirk grabs
his shirt. Bro is about to demand him to let him go but a loud pitch scream
stops that," Dirk!! Put. Him. Down!! "
Rose yells at her older bro, she's shaky and off with focus, she stands in the
ending of the hallway and points at the ground. Everyone forgets about her too,
no one knows what she's going through either . She's busting her ass and trying
to find this shit bag. She has seen this monster, the fucker who's screwed up
the order in this house hold. He choked her, he's put his hands on her. If only
she'd seen his face. She would of had him and stopped this. 
"Rose, stay thefuck outta this!!"
"Dirk, don't! you know this isn't his fault don't you dare sayANY OF IT is
his!!!" She yells stepping toward him some and pointing at Dave.
Dirk sits quiet for a couple of moments and grips onto Dave's shirt, this
causes Dave to jump and sink into his shoulders.
Something in Dirk's head clicks and he slowly lets go of his shirt, he instead
pulls him into a hug, holding him tightly, as a big bro is supposed to do. He
whispers," Don't flinch at me. God, Dave I'll never hurt you, I swear to god, I
can't do that. I love you lil' bro. I will never fucking ever hurt you." He
rest his lips at his temple a couple of times trying to help of some sort. This
is the only comfort he's given Dave after the Attack. 
Bro sighs and rubs his temples, walking into the living room and sitting on the
couch. He knew now more then ever, that that fucking pervert took everything
Dave had. His pride, his fearlessness, his faith, his happiness, his life.
Dave hooked his arms around his bros, his eyes watered and his mouth opened,
letting him whine out," I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry, I didn't mean it. "
His knees gave in, Dirk held on helping him stay up. " I'm sorry. ." Dave
shoved his face into Dirk.
Roxy was listening from her room at all this, she was sober. She wanted to stay
that way, so she could remember that Dave needs help and comfort and a mature
older sister to look over him somehow. She got up and opened her door, walking
over into the hallway and leaned on the wall next to her.
She looked at the Striders.
The mighty Striders.
They were falling apart man.
And she had a front row seat of this horror movie.
===============================================================================
 
 
 
 
 
                            ---9_months_earlier---
"Yo Bro, can I use your car?" Dave asked as he passed Bro in the kitchen.
"For?" Bro turned to him.
"John, Jade and Rose want me at this cafe downtown. " He said, playing with his
tongue ring in nervousness after he spoke.
"Oh, okay, you don't wanna be around your Bro on a Saturday. I get it."
"No, Bro, it's just. You know how they are." He shook his head, rubbing his
temples.
"Well, yeah sure why not? Don't crash it, turn on your tracker on your phone."
He said pulling out sandwich supplies.
" Really? Why? I'll be with Rose. Isn't that the same as a tracker?"
"Haha, funny. But no. Remember, we live in New York, Dave. Not Texas, people
stab, rob, kill, shoot, fight for nothing here. At lest in Texas, you had a
warning." He pointed at him.
Dave groaned," Fine. " He walked to his room getting his phone and shoving it
into his pocket. He stuffed his foot into his red all-stars and grabbed the
keys off the counter.
"Be safe, lil' Man."
"Okay Bro, you too. Later."
Bro looked at the door shut, he sighed. Dave was growing. He is the youngest
boy in the Strider family. The youngest Girl is Rose. Bro takes off his hat and
runs his hands through his hair. Taking care of all of them, Roxy, Dirk, Dave,
Rose. Damn it was a hassle. Roxy is barely passing 11th grade. Dirk is living
thew it. Dave is struggling with his math but other then that he's passing
10th. Rose? Um, well, we all know Rose doesn't have any problems with school.
The only thing she needs to work on is her slick mouth she inherited from the
Strider part of her family.
Bro put his hat back on and smiled.
He was doing okay as a big Bro.
 
===============================================================================
Okay, fuck Google maps. It doesn't work worth shit.

Dave used the GPS on his phone with Google maps and it's not working. Egbert
has been calling him like mad for the last 20 minutes. He says it's right next
to that one Spanish restaurant and across from The Gap. Dave groaned and
sighed. He parked into a Macy's parking lot and started walking the rest of the
way. He knew his way around downtown a bit . He got this. He went down a road
he knew that past and goes right to the Gap. It was slightly ghetto and creepy,
dark and hey okay, quiet. He pulled out his phone feeling a bit off, he pushes
his tongue ring back a forth as he walks. Dave clicked on the app Bro made so
he could track Dave, Rose, Dirk and Roxy. Being the oldest, this is needed.
Especially for Roxy, lord only knows how long it takes to find Roxy when shes
drunk. He opens it and puts in the code and stops walking.
He doesn't feel right, he's been feeling this way for a few weeks, actually
months. Like someones following Dave. He looks around and then goes on walking
faster. He hears little taps for a moment. He thinks it's just his mind playing
tricks. He then hears them getting closer though. He turns and his thinking was
knocked out of him. He drops his phone. He lands on his back, and tries to
regain a breath, then the impact comes again. He feels blood flow raising to
his head, he tries to speak and talk. The third hit the side of his head. He
rolls over holding his face and feels his face crunch, he groans loudly. He
starts to curl himself into a ball until a foot comes to connect with his back.
"Gah! Fuck!" He arches his back and claws at the concrete. His shades flew off
and crash landed somewhere. He was turned over by a foot. Dave looks up at the
attacker with one eye. He sees his weapon of choice, a concrete brick.
"Your screams. So. . .Hmmm~" Dave shivers and sees his hand is inches away from
his phone, the app is open. He slowly crawls his hand over to it but he yelps
and stops when a foot stomps down on his hand.
"What the fuck do you want?!" He groans loudly from the floor.
The attacker wears a white mask, he cocks his head. He leans over whispers, " I
want a good boy like you, Dave." He then hits him again with hard enough impact
to make Dave knock out.
===============================================================================
 
Feet, legs, arms, hands, face and neck. He feels those first, then everything
else comes back into focus. Dave notices and feels something not right. He
tries to move but something bonds him from moving. Legs, same. He tries to
speak but something stops that, he runs his tongue across the thing in his
mouth. Cloth. He blinks looking around, it's dark. He kicks his feet to see
something. They hit a wall of some sort. Yep. He's in a trunk. Fuck, he knew he
was in deep shit. He didn't like being in small spaces that much, his heart
raced. He lays there for the next hour. The the car stops. He hears the front
door open and close. The trunk opened and dim light shined in.
"Hello, Dave."
Dave looks up at his kidnapper, it seems he took of his mask but Dave doesn't
get a good look on his face. The lights too bright, even though it's dim, it
was like someone was shining a fucking lamp in his face. Dave groaned, getting
stabbed with a headache from the beating earlier. The man gripped Dave's ropes
and dragged him out, were he hits concrete floor hard. Dave yelps when his body
is just pulled out of the trunk in such a manner. The man dragged him across
the room to a medal table. He picks Dave up and throws him down on it. Dave is
able to view a smile wider then any jokers or clowns planted on the mans face.
"Oh, Dave. " He looks him over and sighs, " It's been a while. You don't come
over anymore. Where have you gone? Is Bro giving you a hard time? " W-What? "
Or is it Dirk saying stuff again?" Ohfuck. "Or is Rose telling you you need to
work on your studies more?" Oh shit. " Oh wait! I think I know, you have to
watch out for Roxy!" OhFUCK. " But no I doubt it'd your family, you family's a
nice family. I'm sure it's not them, hold on. Is it Jade creeping you out? "No!
No stop! Stop it! " No, no, Jade knows when to back off of someone she likes.
I'm sure John told her to stay away from his boyfriend right?" He knows. He
knows everyone. Everyone. He's not safe, their not safe. Nobody is safe. Dave
sits there with wide eyes. You could hear how shocked he was in his breathing.
"I know everything about you Dave. I'm your biggest fan. I love you, I want
you, Dave. I'm been watching you from a far but when I saw you walking I
couldn't stop. I didn't want anybody else taking you away from me. So I took it
upon myself to protect you and take you away. " He leaned over him and whispers
into his ear. "I want you so much Dave.. " He pulls away quickly and goes into
the darkness to the right. Dave breathes hard and panicky. He looks at the
ceiling and is trying to think things over. He tries to think of a way to get
out. There wasn't one. He looks around the room and the center, which were he
was, was the only source of light. the farther parts of this room was darkened
and shaded. When the man came back he held a tube and a gallon of water. Dave
looked at this confused. The man took a bag out of his pocket and pulled out 4
pills and puts it into the gallon of water. The man then pulls the cloth off
Dave's mouth and shoves the tube down Dave's throat before he could think. Dave
gagged and choked. The man touched his stomach and rubbed his soft skin as
'comfort'.
"Shh, the more you struggle, the more you'll feel discomfort. " The tube is
push down his throat to crawl to the start of his stomach, Dave struggles in
his bonds, trying to scream, but they turn into gags and mini throw up moments.
The man pours the water down the tube until he doesn't see the pills. He slowly
pulls the tube out, letting Dave feel everything as the bothersome tube slid
out. He gasped an coughed, breathing hard and feeling the tears in the corners
of his eyes start to fall, it's been years since he's cried. This was scaring
the shit outta him.
He looks at him as best as he could, though he couldn't see his eyes. He begs
pathetically," Please, please let me go. Please let me go, I swear I won't tell
anyone, just let me go. "
The man takes a plain sliver ring that looked like it was 3 inches wide or
something, that was on the table near the table he was on. Dave eyes it and
begs more, "Please! Jesus fucking Christ! I-I'll do anything but please let me
go! I-I'll talk to you in real life! I won't tell my boyfriend, I won't tell
ANYONE!! Please stop!"
He edges his face away from the ring as he tries to put it in, but he could
only avoid it for so long. He shoves it into his mouth, taking a thin but tough
leather strap that was on the table, tying one side and wrapping it around his
head in the back, pulling it around to the other side of the ring tying it and
tightening, as so. The air around him turned cold, The man put his fingers to
Dave's lips. He pulls his tongue out. Dave looks at him, full of fear.
"I always loved your exoticism Dave. It's triggered me to be attracted to you
more. " Well, damn. Dave didn't only have a tongue piercing, nope. He had
gauges, 2nd ear piercing, right cartilage, he also had snake bites, but thank
god he didn't wear that today. Dave felt him pulling the tongue by the ring,
then something wet, slimy, disgusting touched against tongue. Kidnapper was now
becoming rapist.
The man sucked on Dave's tongue, playing with his tongue ring and lightly
biting him. This pissed off Dave wanting to deck him right in the fucking face.
Disrespect was being thrown at John and he didn't even know it, this man knew
about John and him going out. So he must of seen them have their little make-
out sessions, the playing with the tongue ring is John's thing. Fuck no, who
the hell are you to impersonate his boyfriend, bitch? Dave struggled pulling at
him hands, wanting to wrap his fingers around his neck and rip him apart piece
by fucking piece. Dave tried moving anything he could. It was useless, the man
chomped down on his tongue. Dave yelped and tried pulling his weak muscle away.
No good. He cried out when the man pulled from his tongue ring. Something in
Dave's head just shut down at that moment.
Dave was trying to yell again but his voice wasn't working. His eyes started
showing his weak unsteady glaze. His head moved to the side then to the other,
getting dizzy. Eyes are rolling into the back of his head, muscles are
tightening and his skin was beginning to feel sensitive and soft. A moan crawls
and slowly seeps out of him mouth when the moments go by as the mans still
pulling at his tongue ring. He rolls his eyes around and moans escape his mouth
by mistake. The man lets go and kisses his cheek, to his cheek bone, to his
throat.The man takes a knife out of his pocket. Ropes on Dave's hand are
tangled to the ones bonding his legs. He cuts the connection that the two ropes
have and pulls up Dave's hands, a hook dangles down above the table. He hooks
his ropes there and pulls the hook down a bit more so Dave's no siting up all
the way but he's some sort of up so He can see his face better. Dave on the
other hand couldn't focus on anything. Everything was spinning and twisting and
turning. The knife slipped under Dave's shirt and cut up, then he cut the
sleeves down the middle. Soon, Dave's bare chest showed. It was only 10 minutes
later he was stripped of his clothing. The bonds on his legs were cut off but
the tied into a different fashion, his shins were tied to his thighs. He felt
his blood flow pump slowly, thumping thew his veins.
"Oh god, Dave you look perfect. Like an angel. " He touches his face and
smirks. Dave tries to look at his face, failing. The man traces his hands to
his hips, he sighs, " I've always waited for this Dave. I've always wanted to
touch you. . Feel the skin on you that I never see. I love you, Dave. I hope
you know that." Dave sucked in a breath when his hands grabbed his thighs and
opens his legs widely. Dave hisses at the cold air wrapping around his personal
areas. A dark chuckle falls out of the Strangers mouth.
"Wow, you look amazing. " He smiled and leans to Dave's face. " But I'm know
how to make you look better, hold on."
Dave saw the man walk away in a hurry. Dave was struggling to think straight.
God, what was happening? Where was his phone? Where was he? Who is he? Dave
could only ask questions. He couldn't set any action. There was no way out this
time. No way. He was fucked this time. There is no way out.
"Got it!" He came back with a huge hooked needle, a rag and a sliver ball
pricing. " I've never done this before but I'm sure it's pretty easy. " Dave
looks away not wanting to look, hoping this guy is kidding. Not even 3 minutes
later, he feels a discomfort. A stabbing feeling between his legs. He pulls at
his arm, forgetting it's tied up. The stab turns into a horrible throb. He
groans loudly, then unsteadily looks over, he sees the hook thew the tip of his
dick, his blood trickling down his length and between his legs. He cries out
when he removes it and replaces it with the sliver balled piercing. Dave groans
in pain and pulls at his hands, still bleeding . The man wipes as much blood as
he can from him. He smiles and grabs him rubbing his thumb over his tip. Dave
groaned louder and straightens his back leaning away. The man squats between
his legs, grabbing his length and kissing the tip and sucks his head, licking
the remaining blood. Dave pulled at his arms again and shook his head.
 He cried out what he could, even though they were stopped and turned into a
weird groan filled with saliva. This was, god, he didn't even know. Fuck, Dave
never would of thought he'd be in a fucked up shit like this. Everything Bro
taught him was to hurt someone and get away and to get someone. He never taught
him to get away from rapist and Pedophiles. That is what he fucking taught the
girls! I guess Bro was on the 'whats the point of teaching you something that
you're not gonna need?' side of the fence. Dave looks around the room and sways
on the ropes and whining as he pulls, he looks for a door or something. If he
can get out of these ropes, he can get out period. One problem about that plan.
He can't feel his legs.
***** Chapter 2 *****
-Ka-Klack-Ka-Klack-
Your sweat and blood makes your thighs stick to the metal table. Saliva foaming
and seeping slowly, out the corner of your mouth.
-Ka-Klack-Ka-Klack-
The chains above your head raddled, hanging on to that was a hook, which was
helping the ropes that were around your wrist lifting your arms up in the
uncomfortable position you were in now.
-Ka-Klack-Ka-Klack-
The man moans, the grip on your hips are going to show new bruises. He picks up
his pace and moans louder leaning over and kissing your neck, " Oh god Dave, I
love you, I love you."
4.
4 Days.
You have not been home for 4 days, you've ben counting.
Your name is Dave.
You remember that because he keeps moaning it every 5 fucking minutes.
Staring lifelessly at the ceiling, tears falling without effort from the
corners of your eyes, you run these facts that you know, in your head, over and
over and over and over again.

You can't feel your arms, your neck, your lower half body is numb but you still
feel your insides be rammed and abused. Not even a moan, a crying yelp that was
too loud for his liking, he grabbed your throat and gripped it as if he was
going to rip your throat out.
"Shh, no, no. You-You need to shut the fuck up, okay Dave?" He jolted your neck
and you tighten your eyes and cry out again saying something, for the first
time after the first night.
His hand left your neck, he yanked off the spider gag and pulled your chin up,
growling at you, "What?"
Your mouth felt free and loose. You spat in his face and spoke with a weak
breaking voice, "Fuck! You!! " He wiped his face and slapped you with the back
of his hand, a ring hitting you in the eye.
"Shut the fuck up! "
A knock came from a wall at the dark side of the room.
"Hey are you okay in there?"
Dave knows that voice.
That perky voice, that sweet heavenly voice, you don't remember who's it is but
you know it.
He walks over to the dark side, he speaks low, damn you don't even kno. What
the fuck, you're so confused. You breathe out of your mouth and roll your head
around. You try to speak, little noises come out. The man walks over again and
puts himself back in his pants. He grabs your chin and shakes his head, "You're
not good enough Dave. . You're not fucking good enough. You're dirty. ." He
cuts your ropes loose and you fall lifelessly on the table. Your back smacks on
the metal table, your eyes shoot open wide, you open your mouth to scream or
something but nothing comes out.
You roll on your side and gasp and breathe in and out hard. Too hard. You
tighten your eyes closed and try to breathe right, your sore body was tender
and red on every piece of skin. You looked up at the man, he pulls out a pack
of smokes and a lighter. "I loved you Dave, I fucking loved you." He lit a
cigarette and sucked in a drag. He blew out thew his nose. He points the
cigarette at you and shakes his head.
"You fucking kids are so immature. I thought I could love you Dave. " He walks
over and grabs your left hand, taking your index finger rubbing it softly. He
shakes his head and squats, " Now I-I-I have to get rid of you! You're so
fucking perfect, you're wasting yourself Dave. " He takes the cigarette and
burns your finger, mushing and twisting it on the tip of the finger. You yelp
and pull your hand crying, " L-L-Let go. . ." You shake and look up at The man
as the shadows still hide his face. More tears dripping down your face. He
throws the cigarette some where, He takes the lighter and burns the rest of the
tips of your fingers. You notice what he's doing. He's burning your finger
prints, but why? He drags you by your hair and pulls you to the floor. You
groan as you hit the floor. He sit there until you feel a hard weapon hit your
back. You straight your back crying, "Agh!" You are turned around and kicked in
face, more then once. You feel your face bleeding, your eyes closing from being
so swollen and beaten in. He takes the weapon which you found out later that is
was a bat, hitting you in the ribs. You felt your rib cage breaking and
cracking, he hit you again. You felt agonizing paint that you've never thought
you could feel.
He kicks at your rib cage, maybe wanting you to be ground beef or something,
you are kicked to your side. The bat connects with your gut you gag and gag
again until you throw up and a rip follows thew your skin when he hits you
again.You scream. Your hand traces down your chest, you hiss and lightly graze
your bumpy taring skin. You feel it when you hit your lower torso, a bone
sticks right were it shouldn't. You whine at first until it turns in a loud
cry. The man kicks you in the back of the head, a crunch is echoing thew your
ears.
"Shut the fuck up. . !" That, you do. Because you can't. He walks to the dark
side again and back, this time with a tube and a hoes. He turns you around and
pulls your behind up, he starts flushing your ass because it was just full of
his shit, cum is the shit, hope you get that. You sat there shifting and
squirming. Every time you'd piss him off he'd grab your hair and slam your face
into the ground. You face is gonna be fucking broken.
A moment later you hear him walk to the table, you can't see anything at this
point. You try to move any muscles in your face. Nothing. A swift movement of a
sharp object goes in thew the air. As if it was going to cut an atom. He pulls
your behind up and starts to carve something on the small of your back, he does
it slow and forceful. Drops of blood fall on the floor. The only way you know
this is because you hear multiple little drops of blood falling on the floor.
It sounded like a rain storm just starting.
When he was done with that he dragged one of those traveling trunks over to
you. He picks you up and puts you in the trunk. He looks at you before he
closes it. He goes away for a quick second, coming back, he has a needle and
thread. He kneels down and puts the thread thew the needle and knots it. He
puts your lips together and stares at you in your eyes as he punctures the
needle thew your lip. You start panicking, you trying to struggle and move your
face away when you start feeling a sharp poke. Getting annoyed with you, he
jabs the needle in the other lip. He pulls hard when he finishes stitching your
lips shut, he kisses your mouth softly. " Oh Dave. . " You feel him looking at
you, running his hands thew your hair and petting you.
Another sharp poke goes thew your eye lid, he stitches each eye closed 3 times.
One thing you know for sure now, is that he wants you to be unnoticeable. He
kisses your forehead and then shoves the rest of your body in the trunk. He
locks it from the outside and picks you up. You cry and whine and move and try
to do something when you know you can't do anything.
You name isDave Strider, and your dead.
- - - -
The man takes Dave and puts his in to the trunk of his car. He starts his car
and opens his garage and pulls out. Driving down the road its late. Around 9.
You turn on the radio.
"This is Lara Cape and there is still no sign of the 16 year old teen, Dave
Strider, today. The Brother, Dirk Strider and Dirk Strider Jr. are going to
present a speech for their missing Brother. If you have seen this kid please
call us, he has blonde hair, Amber red eye colour, White male,. . ."The man
turns the volume down. He sighs and pulls up to a lake that is far away from
his house and closes enough to were he was kidnapped. The man drives up and
opens his back trunk. Hurrying out, he chucks the trunk in the lake. Little
does he know, these night fishing men saw him dump the trunk, but didn't think
something was wrong until the man who thew it gasps and raced out to his car
and swerved to make sure you couldn't see his tag, even though his lights were
off.
- - - -
You feel yourself in motion, you hear a splash out side the trunk. You
hyperventilate when water starts pouring in the trunk. It's painful to move,
you sit there. Water fulls up to the middle of the trunk. You don't see
anything. Don't say anything. You smell muddy and dirty wild water. You feel
cold water over your broken self. Water is getting closer to your nose. You
breathe in one last time and water forces into your nostrils. Your first breath
of water was about 53 seconds later. You choke and breathe in again and water
fills your lungs. You pass out at that point.
- - - -
"Did you see that, Meenah?!" Your little brother yells, getting an odd feeling.
Your name is Meenah Peixes.
"Eridan, go get Cronus and mom. Now!" You jump into the murky water you swim
around and look around. You're smiling as you're doing this. This was
interesting to you. Maybe he was throwing in drugs or something rare that he
had to get rid of it because he got caught and shit. You just swim around for
around 2 minutes. Cronus, your brother, appears right next to you. He passes
you a flash light you take it and look around, a moment later you find a huge
trunk. You quickly swim over to it and grab one of the handles while Cronus
takes the other handle. You both gasp for air when you hit the surface. He and
you drag it out of the water crawling to the shore. You pant and go to open it
but its locked.
You see a huge lock. You look at Cronus and smile.
"It's locked."
Cronus smirks back rolling his eyes at your interested face. It fades quickly
when he looks at the trunk closer, "Yo, pass me the flash." He snaps his
fingers as he raises an eye brow looking at the one part of the trunk.
You give it to him, He holds the flash light over a huge patch of fading away
blood. Cronus looks at you and pulls the trunk over a bit to have some water
pour out. The dark water shows little runs of blood coming out.
You gasp and look at Cronus, yelling, " M-Mom!! Mom!" You see your mom on the
mother boat next to the guppy boat, at lest that's what you call it. She looks
at Cronus and you.  
Cronus yells, "Ma! Call 911!!"
Your mom looks at you guys, Cronus shines the light on the trunk were the blood
is. Your mom looks closer and pushes up her glasses, "O-Oh my god!" She runs to
the other side of the boat to get the police on the phone. You wonder and pull
at the lock. You take a sharp shell that was near you hit the lock over and
over again, the lock wasn't doing anything but the latch was breaking off the
trunk. Cronus stops you and quickly gets up and starts kicking off the latch,
it slowly coming off. The last final kick sent the latch flying. You push open
the top. You scream holding your mouth and edging back in the mud. Cronus'
tooth pick falls out of his mouth.
"MOM!!" She comes running with the phone and she gasp dropping the phone, it
falls into the water. She looks down at the water and curses,"Fuck!"
She runs her hands thew her long back hair, she looks around for a moment and
nods over, " Come on! Bring him in and try CPR! We're taking him to the
hospital!"

- - - -
Your name is Terezi Pyrope, you sat in the ER desk, fiddling with your cane.
You got done with all your paper work, even though your blind, you were the
fastest front desk worker at the hospital. You sigh and toss your head around,
you missed your cool kid.
The Strider family as been going fucking nuts with out him but, aghhhh, you
missed him so much. Even though you were 23 you still liked that weirdo. You
met him from him breaking his leg from trying to skate. You smile when you
remember him making stupid comments on how he knew what he was doing.
"Help! Help!! Help us, please!! " You shoot up, you walk to where you think the
voice is at.
"Help, we found him in a trunk, " You hear a male voice.
"Shit, I can't. . " You curse and yell, "Nepeta!!"
You guess shes over when you hear a gasp, " Oh God!"
You reach your hand over and feel around, touch the kids face, over his eyes.
You choke on your breath when you feel what everyone sees.
- - - -
Your name is Karkat Vantas  And you're about start on a surgery, Kankri nods
for you to start. You go down with the small knife to the skin.
-BAM-
"Karkat!! Karkat!" Nepeta runs in and points panting, " A kid! You need, you
need to see this!!"
"Nurse Nepeta,- "
"Listen to me!!" She yells at the top of her lungs, not long after her
statement, Terezi runs by going to another room with Kanaya, Sollux and Jane
trying to work on a naked pale boy on a gurney. You stop and put the knife
down.
"Karkat get back over here. . !" Kankri speaks. 
"You take over Kankri. " You say almost in a daze walking slowly to the door.
You slowly pass Nepeta and start walking faster. You feel like you know who the
boy was. You burst into a run. You follow and get on Terezi's side.
"Dave please, please Dave, oh god."
"Tz, I got it. Leave. " She breaks away from trying to get him to breathe. You
check his pulse, it was like it wasn't there. But you felt it. He was alive.
You look at Gamzee, "What do you have so far?!"
"He's drowning in his own lungs right now, his ribs are shattered and a lot of
other motherfuckin shit, Bro. . " You take a chance.
"We have to perform CPR."
"But if we push down too hard we can make a bone stick into a lung or
something!!" Jane yells.
"Jane, we have more luck with a rib stabbing his spine then water in his
lungs!!" You yell at her.
" I've got it, move Kk." Sollux gets in Karkat's place. They get to the room
and Karkat opens the door on Sollux's end. He first cuts his mouth loose and
pours out, Sollux pushes down on his chest and water is being throw up like an
over flowing volcano. Until no more water comes out, he closes his nose and
breathes for him. By this time, Dave's pulse stopped. Everyone hooks him up,
Sollux goes on with CPR.
Sollux looks at Karkat with blood on his lips, " Kk, this isn't gonna work." He
shakes his head panting.
Karkat looks at Kanaya, "Go get the defibrillator."
- - - -
Your name is Dirk Strider. You sat in bed, you stared at the ceiling.
When you find your bro,
You're gonna fucking murder a bitch.
- - - -
Your name isRose Lalonde-Strider. You were reading a book until you thew it out
your window because a character died.
When Dave finally shows up,
You're going to be a huge storm of hell and justice for him.
- - - -
Your name is Roxy Lalonde-Strider. You started drink more and more, throwing
and breaking bottles everywhere around your room, you just wanted to toss your
little bro around again and beat him at Mortal Combat.
Once you're baby Bro comes back,
You're gonna stop drinking.
- - - -
Your name is John Egbert. You stared a pictures of Dave and you, kissing each
other, laughing at each other, working on homework with each other.
When you get your boyfriend back,
You swear you're going to bring hell.

- - - -
Your name is Dirk Strider. The first one. You sat at the kitchen, with your hat
off and your hands in your hair. You were thinking like this over and over and
over again every night Dave was gone.
You looked at the phone in front of you. You prayed.
And you know god and you aren't the greatest friends but you prayed so fucking
hard. You'd never ask for anything again, just please! Someone call, someone
say they found him, someone say Dave was alright.
You stare at the phone and hope. You stay like that for an hour. You feel a
tear fall down your face. No one. Nobody. No news. You cry harder than the
night before. You let one hand fall on the table, tightening into a fist and
banging down hard once on the wooden table. Making your phone jump on the
table, and at that time the phone rang.
At that moment, you knew God didn't hate you at lest.
He kinda loved you a little bit.
***** Chapter 3 *****
Chapter Summary
     The Striders get the news.
"Mr.Strider sit down!!"
"Let me in goddamn it!!"
"Hey don't fuckin' touch me alright?!"
"Yo, back the fuck off man!!"
"Sit down!!"
"We're gonna need more security!!"
"Stop touchin' her!!"
"Get off of him!!"
"Let me go!!" Rose struggled, the same with all three of the Striders, two
Egberts and an English.
Bro is trying to push through like a bull and so is Roxy, being the 2nd oldest,
through 3 security guards. Dirk pulls at both. Rose is getting pulled by
another guard, who was clearly confused on who was trying to pull someone back
or break through to go to Dave. Rose held on to Dirk with her left and the
guard pulled her other arm. Jake grabs the guards arm and pulls Rose by her
waist back, away from him, seeing her struggle. John is being pulled back by
Jade, though he's his inner animal is banging at the gate. One security guard
is pushing John back. Terezi hears whats going on in the front desk, the guards
push them into the sitting area. The guards push Bro into a seat and he yells,
and that yell booms thew the whole hospital," WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I GO SEE MY
FUCKING BROTHER."
"Dirk Strider, you are not aloud to go see him yet!! And you're not aloud to
see him until he's awoken so he can explain to you, okay?! Your lucky you're
not in fucking jail for being in the goddamn hospital!! We're bending the
goddamn rules for you!!" The security guard, who Bro knew personally from a
pass job, Mike.
Bro looks away bouncing his leg with his hands over his mouth, looking away.
---
2 Years back, Dirk got jumped and he got a left in a dumpster in a alleyway
with a broken arm, leg and a stolen phone. Bro found out about his injuries and
when on a goddamn man hunt. When the police found out who did it, Bro was on a
goddamn rampage beating the guys half to maybe never be able to walk again. But
only because Bro had so many children he was responsible for and he never got
in trouble before and he wasn't doing anything that would say he was a poor
guardian besides he stupid choice of loosing control, he was put in jail for 4
months and the kids stayed with the Egberts Grandfather, Jake Harley. He lived
in a huge house and agreed to watch them. He was though, when Bro need a
babysitter, the Striders babysitter. The Striders and Grandpa Harley wasn't the
only ones, Jake lived with his Grandpa Harley when he got out of middle school
going to high school because him and his dad, Mr. Egbert, wasn't getting along
and Mr.Egbert didn't know how to deal with Jake. But Grandpa Harley and Jake
got along well, so it was smooth. Jake is now out of high school and is in his
first year of collage, He still lives with Grandpa Harley.
Bro is not aloud to go into the hospital rooms, for 3 years to see how bad a
injury is because of his temper and his overreactions. The police, that Bro is
cool with, fear they might arrest him for murder one day.
---
Dirk sits next to Roxy who holds his hand shakily, she bounces her leg and has
her head leaning on the wall behind her. Rose has her head into her lap,
running her hands thew her hair. Jake sits between Dirk and Rose, holding
Dirk's other hand with was gripping his hand hard. John sits next to Bro and
Jade sits in front of John, right between his legs trying to calm him down as
he cries and cries uncontrollably. She holds his face up and tries to comfort
him, failing. Terezi comes walking over with Nepeta, who has a chip board in
her hand. Her face was . . . It was crying with I'm sorry, or I don't want to
say this. She passed the chip board to Terezi, she clovers her face and stands
there. Terezi gives her cane to Nepeta and feels her fingers across the chip
board. Nepeta's writing was wide and big so it was easy to feel out and know
what the words were. She sighs and speaks, "Dave Strider, age 16, his lower
ribs all broken, his lungs were slightly wounded but it was fixed. His eyes
were stitches together and sow as his mouth when we got him, we cut them off,
he may have scars of them on him in time. His spine has a 2 inch rod because
the attacker must of kicked him at one time and caused the spine to crack, it
was filled but to make sure, the rod is there. His ribs did stick out of his
skin so he'll have many scars on his chest. His skull was given a few hard
impacts, he most likely has a concussion. Um. . . " As Terezi feels the writing
more, she starts to cry she goes on, her voice breaking.
"There is massive bruising and damage around the anus, a lot of bacteria as
attacked the wounds and their infected. Using the bathroom is going to be a
painful event for the n-next few months. His penis was purposely pierced with
infected needle and his time pissing isn't going to be joyful either. " Terezi
gripped the chipboard then thew it down, " And he has a fucking sick ass phase
carved into his lower fucking back! That's fucking all!" Terezi stomped away.
Nepeta jumps as she whines in her hands. She follows Terezi and runs after her.
Mike stands in the sitting area watching Bro making sure he won't go anywhere.
Bro gets up, everyone looks at him. He runs straight down the hallway not to
Dave's room, it's not like he knew where it was anyway, but into the womens
bathroom, only because it was closer then the mens. He runs into a stall and
throws up. Bro Strider hurls up everything in his guts. Mike runs after him and
follows him into the bathroom. He looks at his friend, over the toilet.
Bro didn't know what made him more sick. Him not protecting his little brother,
or the bastard who raped him. Who the fuck is so fucking sick to rape a teenage
boy? Who's so goddamn twisted to keep a child, a underdeveloped human being,
for 4 days, for 96 hours! And use him to make you feel good and in control,
then to beat him and then put him thew a terrifying, slow, painful attempted of
death?! How fucking sick are you?!
All of Bro's emotions were dwelling down in his head, his blood pressure was
rising. He gripped the sides of the toilet, his body heat was rising with hate
and a nasty feeling that was stirring in his stomach.
"Mike. . "
"Yeah, man? "
"If you find the guy-"
"Dirk, bro. This a investigation now, a crime, a legitimate crime! We might not
even find the-!"
"That's why I fucking said ' if ' , Mike." Bro looks back then back down in the
toilet where the thrown up waste sat.
He sighs, " Okay, If. . "
"If you find him, I won't guarantee I won't grab him by the neck and break it
in one move. . . I won't guarantee I won't take a goddamn chainsaw and shove it
up his ass and make him walk, I don't. I truly don't. I don't fuckin' guarantee
I won't rip out out his throat and then cut off every limb he has let him see
me make it into ground beef and let dogs on the street eat it, then drag him in
front of a mirror so he can see me shove my sword slowly into his head. In the
mean while he bleeds out. . . I don't guarantee I won't. . . But I will
guarantee, I will try not to. " Bro speaks.
Mike closed his eyes and nods, he walks to Bro and pads his shoulder. " I know
you will. "
- - - -
11_Hours_later
The Striders sat in the lobby of the ER and waited. Dirk and Jake were now on
the floor, Dirk's head was in Jake's lap, Jake was leaning against some chairs
in the corner. Dirk knocked out 6 hours ago, Jake's been trying to comfort him
falling in and out of sleep. He's been doing this for 7 hours. Roxy held Rose
as if she was a baby again, Rose was all in her lap asleep, they fell asleep 9
hours ago together. John was laying his head on Jades lap sleeping also, Jade
sat up straight on ER's lump hard couch they had there. She also was sleeping.
They both started sleeping around 10 hours ago. Bro has been awake going to
sleep 30 minutes each hour. Terezi and Nepeta is pulling a all-night-er
together. Mike is in his office for hospital security. Karkat is going back and
forth from Dave to his office, making sure he's alive and then going back to
he's office because he's found out something else about Dave.
Karkat goes back on Dave again, as he opens the door Dave's eyes open.
- - - -
You're name. . You think you're still Dave_Strider.
You open your eyes, air fills your lungs. You blink into the actual light. You
hear the heart monitor near you, beeping fast. You look over and even though it
was a blurry image, you heard your heart. You were alive. You were breathing.
You smile small and go to laugh, your laugh turns into a high pitch yelp when
you hold your chest and cry out inhumanly. Pain sprouts everywhere at once.
Your torso feels crush and empty. You can't feel anything from your Leg because
from your top lower half was expressing so much pain, it's just numbing
everything else.
"Dave!" You look over and see fuzziness.
"W-Who's there?!" You scream, you become scared and paranoid.
"Dave can't you see me?" You hear a voice similar to your friend Karkat's.
The person moves in closer, you see his face a bit better and you almost start
crying out because now you know you're safe, you know you're with your friend
Karkat. You know you're alive. You know nothing is going to happen to you.
"Karkat!" You reach your hand out and reach for him, and he leans in and hugs
you very gently. "Where's Bro? I wanna see Bro!" You cry into Karkat's neck,
you shake in joy and pain.
"He's in the lobby I'll go get him. " He lets you go and runs out. When he runs
out it feels as if you're alone in that room again you start to remember what
you went thew. You start to shift and feel that alone afraid feeling. When you
hear foot steps down the hall you start panicking and scream, "Karkat!? Bro!?"
Bro jumps into the door way and sees you, he smiles sadly, walking over and
softly holds you.
He pets your head, " Fucking shit, welcome back lil' man."

Chapter Summary
     Information is needed
Chapter Notes
     Authors crappy no grammer note: So this is just a chapter trying to
     show you like how everyone is. Like how on edge they or how laid back
     they are and how Bro can get his ass kicked by Roxy o u o but yeah
     no. You learn about the Egbert's and the Harleys. Rose joins in on
     things and I think the next chapter Ill show how the police are going
     along on this case which you'll find out is mulien and yeah then ill
     make more blood and Gore up in their for you but right now ill give
     you info bfjfhfjdkjfbdhthf yeah
After you're in the hospital for 2 days, you're aloud to start moving around,
though still in the hospital. You were sitting up, getting something off the
rack of food Terezi brought you. You feel a rip, like a wound that was closing
was opened again. You blink a couple of times and touch your lower back,
feeling the pain from back there. You pull your hand back because you feel
something wet, but it was room tempature.
Blood.
You're fuckin' bleeding bro.
Rose, Roxy and Bro were in the room with you. They were talking to each other
and laughing a bit then taking the convo back to Dave.
"Oh, Dave remember when you-. .  Dave?" Rose looks at you as you're not paying
attention. She looks at your hand.
"I-I'm bleeding." You say soft.
Bro's eyes grew 10x wider then normal. He yells, "Nurse!! " And grabs a rag
from the hospital bathroom and comes back to you. "Where are you bleeding?!"
"Bro, rela-!!" The nurse came in seeing the blood seeping in the bed.
She snatches the rag from Bro's hand. She gently pushes you over on your side
and then she kinda relaxes herself, sighing. "False alarm."
You were so fucking confused. You just started bleeding! What the fuck does she
mean false fucking alarm?!
Bro went over to her point of view and sighed too. "Oh that. "
"Oh what?" You hiss because now that pain is seeping in.
"It's just a small wound, don't worry. Maybe one of the nurses thought it was
healing good enough and took off the patch that was here. Wait a moment, I'll
be back with a new one. " She leaves putting the rag on the wound walking out
into the hall.
Everyones quiet and no ones looking at anyone but you. You look around at the
room at nothing in perticaler and then break the broken sound, "So anyone wanna
like take a picture? Yah know, so I can what we're fuckin' looking at?"
You were kidding.
Roxy pulls out her phone and takes a picture of the wound and then shows it to
you.
Holy shit.
'You were a good boy, Dave. '
In your fuckin' skin.
It's just fuckin' sitting there, like its a fine fucking saturday on a summer
fuckin' morning.
You panic because it's like Jesus was sitting right in front of you and thew
all your sins in your face and made you live them again. A unhumanlike noise
sprouts out from between your lips, you push the phone away. Roxy looses grip
and it flies somewhere. You curl up into a ball, well that ball might be the
most patheic ball ever because you were so deformed.
Flash backs hit you like a speeding train, hit you again and again from
different tracks and ways.
You shake and grip your hair, closing your eyes. You try to calm yourself but
it's not fucking working. You shake more and breathe harder. Everything is
uncontroled. To you that is.
"Dave. "
Shut up.
"Dave, open you're eyes."
Shut up.
"Dave, you're okay. There is nothing to fear. "
"Shut the fuck up!!" You open your eyes and see you're face to face with
Kankri, Karkat's older brother.
You blink, trying to regain everything that's real.
"Dave, are you scared?" Kankri asked calm and cool.
You're eyes are open and wild. You nod nervously, looking at him.
Kankri nods, "Dave do you remember me?"
What the fuck type of question is that? Of course he fucking remembered him,
he's the whole reason he got out of fucking middle school. If Kankri wasn't
there to homeschool you when you broke your leg, hell, you would of dropped
out. And that's real shit. You fucked up you're leg when you tried skating, no
joke, you fucking messed it up. The whole goddamn thing was twisted and shit.
Can't even explain it bro. It was just bad. You look at Kankri and he looks at
you.
"Dave, do you remember anything? " Kankri asked.
You blink and look around at everyone staring at you, as if you were about to
say who you saw do this to you. You had some bad news.
"I. . . I remember a table. A medal one." You look at Bro, seeing a face that
wasn't happy with that answer. He wanted to hear height, skin colour, hair
colour, the smell of his breath and what was the colour of his eyes.
"Dave, I want you to do something, this is going to be very hard. But I'm going
to hold your hand okay? " He raises his hand to yours and curls his fingers
into yours. He holds on tight.
"I want you to remember how it was when he took you."
Your stomach drops, it drops so low like below zero. You look at Kankri, with
eye widen and blood running cold, you face looses colour. You nod, you knew
this was coming now or later. You were your only witness. You swallow dry.
"O-Okay."
"Close your eyes and try to remember." He pets the side of your head thew your
hair, calming you.
You close your eyes and try to remember. Actually, you don't try, because damn,
you'll always remember.
Your hand tightens, " I was walking to a cafe and I took a short cut I knew, I
took out my phone to turn on Bro's tracker app and the that's when I heard
footsteps, so I went to turn but he beat me to it. He had a cinder block and
was hitting me with it. Um, he hit me until I pasted out. Later I don't know
how much later but it was still that night, he put me in his trunk and tied me
up, and something around my mouth so couldn't talk. I was in there for like an
hour. Um, he opened the trunk to this empty room it just looked like an empty
garage. He dragged me out of the trunk, even though he was strong enough to
pick me up. He thew me on the table.-"
"Did you try to get out? "Bro growled, he face showing disappointment and rage.
" Dirk, how the hell do you think he can do that when he's tied up!?" Roxy
yells pushing Dirk's shoulder hard so Dirk is looking at her. Roxy is red in
the face, with anger of course. Her teeth bare and her vein in her forehead
pops out when shes pissed.
She brings her finger up to Bro's chest and pokes her finger in it, " If you're
implying something you better stop right now, because I'm two fucking steps
away from kicking your ass."
To tell you the truth, Roxy is the only one who can try Bro like that. Only
because she can back it up.
Bro shuts up and you keep on going, " . . He starts talking to me, "
Kankri speaks, " What did he say?"
" . . He knows everyone."
Kankri looks at you confused, " What?"
"H-He know everyone I know, he starts going on why I haven't see him or
anything or gone to his house and then start naming off Striders and John and
Jade, he confesses that he's been stalking me. . I kinda panic, he goes to the
other side, I never saw the other side of the room he was dark and the only
light was at the table. I could find a door, nor a way out. I tried. He came
back over with litter a tube. But small enough tube to fit down someones throat
. . ." Wait shit, did that come first? You start getting confused when you
start remembering. " Um. . . H-He shoves it down and pours water down it, he
drugges me with something. . . Pills? I don't remember. . Then he ties me up
and-. . . A-And. . ." Flashbacks are coming after you, you remember the
emotionless face, no mercy. The smell of blood and semen and sweat together.
You gagged at the reminder of that. ". . . I think you can paint the rest of
the picture for yourselves. " You open your eyes and turn away from them.
Kankri rests his hand on your shoulder, "Dave, I need to know. I need you to be
able to talk to police too, can you do that?"
You don't respond.
Kankri sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Everyone out. "
Bro looks at Kankri, thinking he's completely crazy. " Fuck no."
" Bro, don't." Rose spoke touching his shoulder.
Rose looks at Kankri and nods, "We'll be leaving now. " She grabs onto his arm
and pulls Bro gently, Roxy just pushes him along.
Kankri looks at you when the door shuts and they're gone," Ready now?"
You roll your eyes and look at Kankri, "Sure."
- - - -
"Planning on seeing your brother, dear? " Jake speaks to Dirk.
Dirk hasn't seen you yet, he doesn't want to. He's been in this spot for no one
knows how long. Jake has been bring Dirk his school work before he goes home
from college. Dirk refuses to see you he just wants to know you're alright
that's all. But he hasn't gotten his ass up to see himself.
"Nepeta, sweetie you seen a miss Harley-Crocker around here?" Roxy says at the
front desk with a smirk on her face.
Rose walk out from the bathroom and her girlfriend Kanaya runs one single index
finger up her spine. Rose shivers and turns around smiling. "Hello dearest."
Rose smirks and kisses her on her cheek. Kanaya was volunteer at the hospital,
now she works here as a nurses assistant. She's in her first year in college,
she and Rose have known each other for about 5 years. They went to the same
schools. They've been going out for 2 years. Kanaya gently pulls Rose down the
hall to Karkat's office. Karkat, Gamzee and Sollux usually hang out here along
with Kanaya. When Kanaya opens the door it seems that Karkat, Gamzee, and
Sollux have been doing work. Like actual work. Karkat is in the files reading
them like he's trying to paint a picture. Gamzee is on the computer trying to
find stalkers and child molesters in the area on the attack, he keeps going
back and forth from the phone to the computer. I guess he's calling them up.
Sollux is completely stomped with the DNA. Kanaya looks at you, "We will tell
you everything we know about your brother and anything we find that is new, but
you need to help us in return. " Kanaya says.
" I can't tell anyone this information, can I? "
"I'm afraid not." Sollux says, looking at Rose.
"That's alright." Rose crosses her arms. "What kind of help do you need
anyway?"
"Rose, you are too smart for your age. You shouldn't even be high school. You
should be college. " Karkat speaks looking still down at the file.
"Are you trying to find out who did this to Dave? Why don't you leave it to
Mulien and the rest of guys at the police department?" Rose raises an eye brow
at Karkat.
"Muilen agreed we can help if we wanted but we can't get in the way. And-"
"Why are you guys doing this for Dave?" Rose taps her fingers on her elbow.
"Because its Dave!! Now, if you're not helping, get the fuck out!! If you are
helping then you sit your skinny ass down and fucking help!! We don't have
enough time asking questions, Rose!! Only enough to answer them, fucking got
that?!" Karkat looks at Rose, wide eyes and a tight jaw.
Rose looks at Karkat, she pulls a chair close and sits in it. Kanaya smirks at
Rose. Rose crosses her fingers together so they're supporting her chin.
"Okay, fine. I'll help. "
"Damn right you'll fucking help." Karkat thew Rose your file.
- - - -
"Thank you so much babe, when I heard you were one of the doctors who worked on
him, oh dear, let me tell yah, I was happier than Dirk in tax-return season. "
Roxy smiled a kisses Jane gently. Jane chuckles, " Hoo hoo, you're welcome
sweetheart. "
"Aghhh," Roxy rolls around in Jane's chair in her office. " I'm so tired."
Jane heard her phone buzz. A text from her little sister, Jade, well. Step-
sister.
The Egbert's had a difficult family. Mr. Egbert, who's name is Jonathan Egbert,
was married to a woman named Alexandra Harley. Alexandra had a father, who is
Grandpa Harley. Alexandra's mother died long ago. Jonathan didn't have any
family alive anymore and his Mother doesn't speak to him, refuses actually.
Alexandra, at 18, gave birth to Jane Harley-Crocker. Alexandra didn't tell
Jonathan about the Crocker in Jane's name. About 2 years later they're marriage
was going rocky They thought another child would help with that. When Alexandra
was 23, she birthed Jake Harley Jr. 3 years later,Jonathan cheated on Alexandra
with a woman named Lucy Harley, Alexandra's sister. Lucy got pregnant and gave
birth to two children, John and Jade Egbert. Alexandra left Jonathan 4 months
earlier. When she found her sister gave birth. She came back to say to Jonathan
that Jane wasn't his, Alexandra cheated on him with Michael Crocker, her high
school sweetheart. Jonathan and Alexandra's parents brought them together at
18, getting them to marry each other and so they did. After Alexandra told
Jonathan about that, Alexandra disappeared. No one could find her she was gone
until 5 years later when Jane went to walk out side to go to school, her
mother's body sat at her door step. Apparently, she was killed 3 hours ago.
Jane lived with her grandpa at the time, Grandpa Harley. He saw her too.
Now Jane is fully recovered from that and lives in a apartment downtown. She
and Roxy have known each other for years and thought it would be a cute idea to
go out. They've been going out for 3 years.
The case of who kidnapped Alexandra Harley, where she was for 5 years and who
killed her is still unsolved.

Chapter Notes
     This chapter is just a chapter on showing how meenah and cronus are
     taking this and how john is being overly reactive and upset about
     everything and the nurses are bitches and who the fuck is on the
     phone
     youre gonna have to see on the next chapter
"Whoa, they found that fag? Damn it."
"Thank God they found Strider, I would of had to do that project alone."
"My mom told me that his fingers were cut off!"
"I heard he was in that s&m shit and it went too far."
"That's what you get when you cheat on your boyfriend."
"The news says a 68 year old man raped him because he thought Strider was a
girl."
"My dad works at the hospital. He told me his eyes and mouth was sewed
together."
"I heard when people found him they raped him and then took him to the
hospital."
Meenah's hand when down on her table in class. Everyone's mouth shut, Meenah
turned slowly to the chick next to her who said the last comment she heard. She
looks at her with a sick expression.
" Look here yah non-stop yappin' chihuahua, " Meenah spat, her hand gripping
her chair. " Stop talking about shit you don't fuckin' know. He didn't cheat.
He was raped. His fingers weren't cut off, his finger tips were burnt. He
wasn't raped by the people who found him because I found him, my brother and I.
"
Cronus got up, putting his hand up to his sister as in ' Whoa there sis. ' , "
Meenah, stop we can't say anything. Calm down."
Meenah turned to the rest of the class. "That FAG was beaten-!!"
"Meenah stop! The cops!"
"-And shoved into a godforsaken trunk to die and you all are fucking-!? You're
SICK!!"
"He was put in a trunk?!" John looks back at her. Johns seat is directly behind
her. His eyes were clearly overflowing with tears he tries to hold in. One tear
falls down his face. His nose is red and irritated and his eyes were the same.
Meenah forgot about him. She completely forgot. If she remembered John was
there she wouldn't of said anything. She would of been comforting him. She was
there sulking about how she found a boy left for dead in a trunk when she
didn't even think about his boyfriend. The one couple she teases and finds so
fucking adorable and stupid and perfect. She knows John from 7th grade. She
never really talked to Dave nor knew who he was legitimately. But she is
friends with John, not besties, but friends. She looks down at him and squats
next to him and touches his shoulder.
"John, I am so so sorr-"
He yells, " No! Don't fucking sorry me!! I'm done w-with the f-fucking done
with-with the FUCKING SORRYS!!" John got up and left toward the door.
"John! " His sister Jade spoke from the other side of the class. She looked sad
and lost. She got out of her seat and followed him until he went out the door,
she stops in the doorway. " John. . .!? Please don't do this. .! John!" She
then went after him.
Meenah sat in her seat feeling nothing but guilty. She sits in her seat looking
at her desk. John might have been crying for the past 2 days. Apparently the
hospital won't let him see Dave because he's, quote, " Not an important being
in Dave's life." , but everyone knows it's just because the nurses are being
homophobic fucks.
Cronus looked at Meenah running his hands thew his hair, he shakes his head
looking at Meenah, " Smooth M, smooth." He sits down and looks in front of the
class at the broad. When the bell rings the teacher walks in, " Good morning
class. "
===============================================================================
 
"John, please! Stop! You can't do this! You promised to dad that you'd go to
school and be strong! You know Dave's alright so please, calm down!" Her legs
were getting tired, she's been following John down the street for the passed 20
minutes. He thinks that just walking to the hospital and getting told the same
thing over and over again will fix something. John is being stubborn and its,
frankly, pissing Jade off.
"Calm down? CALM DOWN?! Are you telling me to CALM DOWN!?! You and I known Dave
since fucking first grade!! Are you telling me as a friend to Dave, you're not
fucking worried about him?! Do you even care?! His body is unstable! He isn't
granted that he will ever walk correctly ever again! He will have scars
everywhere and his eye sight is worse than mine!! He might die from some
sickens that he picked up from the fucking water that he was thrown in!! HE CAN
DIE TONIGHT, JADE! And I won't see his face till he's in his fucking tomb if
that happens! All because of the fucking nurses!! "
Jade growled under her breath and grabbed his shoulder and pushed him into a
building wall pinning his shoulders in one place.

"Look here! You may have forgotten but I dated Dave too! I loved him as much as
you love him now!! Don't you DARE say I don't care about him! I love Dave like
a brother now!! I love Dave and I am worried about him also! But throwing fits
and yelling, screaming isn't going to making anything better John! It isn't!
Not one fucking bit! So calm down and breathe for a goddamn moment!! I know
you're mad and you have every right to be! And I'm sorry this happened to him!
I'm sorry this is happening to you!!" She starts to tear up,and so does John.
She wipes his eyes under his glasses and smiles really weakly. " I was born
first so that kinda makes me the big sister, I'm sorry I can't protect you all
the time and I'm sorry I couldn't prevent this from happening. . . All we can
do is hope that he's alright John. Okay? Okay John? " She looks at his closed
eyes. He nods and hugs her tightly. She hugs back. She kisses the top of his
head and nuzzles his head pulls back holding his face making him look up at
her. She is yes, the taller one, really really tall.
" Let's go back alright?"
He nods again.
===============================================================================
 
Dave lies his head on his pillow in his hospital room. A nurse comes in and
gives him a tray of food. He stops her for a moment. "Hey um, as a teen boy
like, around my age has he visited me or tried?"
The nurse asked, "Did he have big glasses?"
"Yes. "
"No, he hasn't I'm sorry. He's been coming in and out we've asked him but he's
always said no. "
Dave frowns and looks at his food. "Oh, okay. Thank you. "
A few moments later Karkat walks in as the nurse walks out. "Hey, "
"Hey. ."
Karkat looks at Dave's food and points at it, " Is that hot?"
Dave looks at him confused, he shakes his head, " No, my food hasn't been hot
since I've been here. "
Karkat grunted. " That's fucking odd. " He steps out and asks a random nurse to
come in. One that has given him food once.
"Have you brought Dave food one day?"
"No." She says. She says it so effortlessly.
Dave looks at her confused, " Yes you did, you did it like 2 days ago. "
She goesa little pale, " I don't remember. ."
"Well, Nurse 'I don't remember' , I would like you to go to Nurse Nepeta and
tell her she isn't going to work for the desk for a while. You are. And she'll
be Dave's Nurse for now on. And take this shit back, and replace it with hot
fucking food like every guest is suppose to have. Right. Fucking. Now. Before
you lose your shitty job because you're a fucking homophobic prick . "
She grabs his tray and goes on walking out the door.
Dave looks at him stocked, " You didn't have to say it like that. "
"I'm her fucking boss, if I fire her or she quits I have to write down why. And
I'm sure she doesn't need homophobic in bold letters on her record. " Karkat
looks at Dave, checking out his leg. "Any pain going on?"
Dave shakes his head. ". . .Hey, has John been coming around?"
He looks at him, " I'm barely out of my office, I can't tell you. I've seen him
once though, yelling at a bunch of nurses who wouldn't let him by to go down
the hall." He looks back down at his leg and then walking over to the door
locking it for a moment. " I'm just going to check for any infections and open
wounds." After taking the food track table off of Dave's bed, he walks to a
glove box and pulls 2 on. He walks over to him and pulls back the covers and
looks at Dave's sides, then he grabs his hands looking at his finger prints, he
jesters for Dave to sit up, he does.
"Open your mouth. " He does. Karkat looks at his tongue and then he looks at
lips. "Close your mouth and your eyes. " He does, and Karkat looks at his eye
lids.
"Okay, now I'm gonna view whats below your waist, keep calm and breathe. If you
think it will help, keep your eyes closed. I'm going to ask you a couple of
questions while I'm at it, answer them no matter how awkward they sound." Dave
nods.
Karkat pulls up his legs and open them. He gently grabs his length and views
him, his eye brows stitched together studying him carefully. Dave hisses and
grips the hospital bed's handles on the sides. Karkat looks up at Dave.
"Are you in pain in this area?"
Dave nods.
"Have you been able to urinate properly? "
Dave shakes his head. "No. "
Karkat notices purple, blue and yellowish blobs around the head if the penis
and the shaft. The holes from the hook that was there are healing, in the most
distrubing, gruesome way possible. Massive bruising. He gently lets go when he
notices bite marks on the shaft and around the scrotum. Karkat's eye brow
twitches. He pulls back away from him for a moment and breathes. He wipes nose
on his sleeve and looks at the ceiling .
"Is everything alright?" Dave asks.
". . ." Karkat looks down at him and sighs again. " Well, you're not gonna
die."

"Dave you need to lean back as much as you can" He walks to the certain that
covers them both and pulls it around to the ending point. He grabs a bottle
from out of his pocket and rubs the substance all over his gloves to make
everything slick. Dave does as he's asked. Karkat leans over analyzing his anus
before touching anything.
Karkat leans back and sighs. "Dave, brace. "
Dave is confused, "Brac-!!"
"Calm down, Dave. . !" He holds him down a bit and stops his fingers from
entering him.
"That fucking hurts!! " Dave yells.
" You didn't think that it wasn't going to? Hold still! "
Dave whines and moves slightly.
"I'm going to tell you this again, I'm going to ask you questions and you need
to answer them no matter how awkward or embarrassing they are. Alright?"
Dave nods.
===============================================================================
 
50 minutes later, Karkat was ripping off his gloves. He pulls the covers back
over, Dave who has his sweat rolling down his face and neck. He puts his legs
down gently and runs his shaky hands thew his hair Karkat pulling the certain
back. He walks over to his bedside and grabs a rag giving it to Dave. " I'm
gonna go get some pain pills for yah. " Karkat and walks out and Nepeta walks
in with his food and a hospital phone.
" Hey Dave! Someone's on the phone for you!" She smiles and sets his food to
the side for the moment to let him talk before he eats. He takes the phone
panting slightly.
"H-Hello?"
"Hello Dave."
Dave froze.
It can't be him.

Chapter Notes
     JHNFKJSDNJFSDNJ IM SO SORRY ITS SO SHORT AND IM SO SORRY ITS BEEN
     SUCH A LONG TIME JDSGJDFSJKSAD IM SORRY
Your name is DAVE, you don't really know what to say. You pretend it's someone
else because you don't want it to be him, but who you know it is.
" Who is this?" You speak with a dry tongue.
" It's me Dave. I'm sure you haven't forgotten. All the love I gave you. I hope
you're doing well. Tell me you're doing well. "
You're quiet. "Tell me Dave."
" . . . I'm fine. "
"Good. I can't wait till the next time we see each other, I already have our
meeting planned. "
You sit in just shock. How does he know what room you're in!? Your palms start
sweating and you breathe hard thew your nose.
" I'll hug you and hold you and kiss your neck. . . And then I'll grab your
hair throwing you to the ground, straddling you and talking a knife and shoving
it into your mouth and making you soak it up then grab your neck choking you.
Then I'll take the knife and fuck you with it. "
You shake because you take him seriously. You believe he'll come to your room,
he already knows where you are, who's to say he wont do it again. You believe
he'll choke you and shove knife in your mouth and fuck you with it. He held you
hidden for 4 days once. He can do it again who knows this time he might keep
you for 20 years. By then Bro and everyone else would stop looking. John would
get over you and go on dating, hell he might even get married. He would have
you all to himself. No one would find you until 2035 when you've finally died
because you killed yourself and what can he do with a dead Dave? He'd maybe
dump you out into the road and you wouldn't be noticed until some hobo tries to
steal your clothes and realizes you're dead. You can see it on the news now.
"Would you like that, Dave? " you that like hes right next to you. You look
around.
"Hey, look at the door window Dave. "
You turn to view the door and scream.
===============================================================================

Your name is DIRK JR. but everyone just calls you DIRK.
You didn't go to school to day, nor yesterday or the day before that. Matter of
fact you haven't went to school for the last week. You can't go to school. You
feel like you're gonna be breaking a lot of faces. You're ashamed you let this
happen to him. You decide you're gonna see how he's doing. You get up and start
walking toward his room. This is your first time seeing your Bro since the
night of the attack you talked to him that morning. You walk with your hands in
your pockets looking down and think.
What the hell is your excuse? To not see Dave all this time? 'Oh I was sick my
bad.' That's so weak. You look up because you hear foot steps. You look up a
see a man on the phone and stops at Dave's door and stands there. You're a bit
confused, you don't know him. Why the hell is he looking into your younger
brothers room? He could be fucking changing or some shit.
Then you hear a scream. A spine curling, cat scaring scream. You've never heard
such a terrified scream. It came from down the hall. You yell, " Dave?!"
The man looks ever so slightly to you, he has a hat on and huge coat. You see a
smirk. You automatic know that he has something to do with it. No one simply
smirks when a fucking child screams.
You sprint and the man runs putting his phone away. "What did you do?!" A roar
just sprouts out your throat. He laughs. You chase him until you find yourself,
busting out of the fire exit. He stands there and pulls up a gun. You halt to a
stop. He chuckles, walking toward you his face still being covered by his hat,
he walks behind you. He sighs in your ear.
"Dirk, Dirk, Dirk. You act like you don't care about anything. You tell
everyone to fuck off. Or you talk like you're not some antisocial teen snob.
It's fucking pathetic. You need to grow up. Dave doesn't need you." He grabs
your hair from the back and yanks it back pulling backwards. You hiss.
"You ask me what I did to Dave?"
Your nose twitches and you snarl because you even know who this is.
He chuckles and whispers into his ear again. " I did everything to him."
He shoots you in the leg.
You don't make a sound. You stumble slightly and gasp under your breath. Your
knee buckles and you stand your ground. You refuse to show him your pain.
He laughs and claps walking away, " You're funny Dirk. I wish you did make me
laugh more. "
You watch as he just walks away like nothing happened. You turn around and walk
back inside the hospital. You hear his screams all down the hall. You limp. You
see Kankri running with Karkat into the room. You lean onto the wall. You look
in the room. Dave is on his bed screaming, trying to claw out his hair and his
skin. You see the phone is on the other side of the room. He keeps on
screaming. Kankri walks in with his hands up.
"Dave calm down, please. Tell us what's wrong. "
"GO AWAY!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
"Dave please!"
"HE'S AFTER ME! HE'S HERE! HE'S GONNA KILL ME!!!" Dave just yells on the top if
his lungs. His hair sticks to his skin because of the sweat and tears. He rocks
and scratches his arms and grips his hair. Some nurses that actually care, hold
their mouths with a sad look on their faces.
You limp in and everyone just stares at you. Karkat yells right into your
goddamn ear. " What the fuck happened to your leg?!"
You pull up Dave's face, he looks at you and hugs you shoving his head onto
your chest. You don't really know how to comply. You then start feeling a very
big wave of 'hey you're fucking sleepy'. You then faint.
===============================================================================

Your name is DIRK. Just DIRK. You get off of work to hear that your little baby
Bro got tormented over the phone and then that son of a bitch showed up at the
hospital. And that your little Bro go fucking shot in the leg by the fucker.
You march into the hospital, Roxy was already here.
"What the fuck happened?" You walk to Roxy. Roxy put her hands onto her
pockets.
" Like the fuck if I know all of what happened. I've got bits and pieces. " she
shook her head. "He has to talk to the police first. They've been in there for
a while. "
She looked at you. "But he doesn't have your answer you want, Dirk. I asked him
before they kicked me out to talk to him."
You look down at her and grit your teeth," What?"
" He doesn't know what he looks like. He couldn't see he's face. "
