Frisk Pov.
I made sure I had all my books for the day. Biology? Check. History? Check. Math? Ugh check.
I closed my locker door and started to walk to my next class.
My next class was all the way down on the first floor in a corner where no one goes. It was a pain to get to, but hey once your an honors student you gotta keep your grades up.
I've been the smartest in my grade since kindergarten. Nothing has been more important to me then getting in a good college and getting a good career with a good life.
While walking I was suddenly bumped into. I was knocked right down and dropped all of my books and papers.
I immediately sat up and started to pick up the mess.
The person I ran into rubbed his...skull? He wasn't even human! He appeared to be a skeleton who wore a blue jacket with fluff on the hood. His jeans were black with a white striped going down the sides. And his sneakers were black high tops with white shoe laces.
And his features were kinda...strange. He had a some sort of smile plastered on his face. But it was moving? How can he move his feature if he has no muscle? His sockets had little white lights in the center, so they kinda looked like pupils.
He gave me a pretty nasty look for a skeleton. He sat up and dusted himself, not even offering to help.
"Watch where your going kid." His voice was deep, and had some sort of... accent to it.
I sat up as well. "S-sorry."
He then stormed off, bumping into my shoulder in the process.
Ouch.
"Jerk" I turned around and walked away with my books as continued away to my class.
While leaving I heard him tsk behind me like a some sort of snob.
You see, I like monsters. They're pretty cool. I remember when the moved up here.
It was about a year or two ago, and I had the news on in the background while doing some homework.
All of sudden the breaking news cast came on, and a whole bunch of monsters we're on the screen, getting greeted by so many reporters.
They lived underground for so many years that no one knew the existed anymore.
No one really knows how they we're freed from they're rock prison. All they know is that one day the barrier keeping them there, broke.
Not many people were happy with the sudden change of a whole new species suddenly appearing out if thin air. I remember how many protest, fights, murders and court jury's there were.
I kinda felt bad for them. Over the years when they moved into my school, they've been bullied or casted out by the humans. I managed to make friends with some of them. They're really talented and smart, but too scared to speak up.
I have no problem with the monsters living in the same area as me. But I will have a problem with a monster who's a complete jerk like that skeleton.
I just shrugged it off and walked into my classroom, forgetting the whole situation.
I sat down and pulled my books out from my bag. As I was about to space out from the world to pay attention, I heard a voice call my name.
I looked up from my textbook and realized it was the teacher.
"Frisk? Would you please do me a favor?"
I closed my notebook and walked over to the teachers desk. Shes so kind. I think I'm her favorite student. Ever since the beginning of the year, shes done nothing but to make sure I succeed. She may have been blonde and old, but she was still very wise. Her outfits always stood out, because they were nothing but jeans and a shirt. unlike all other teachers who have to wear something good everyday.
She may not be that important, but its still good to give the good details in my life...right?
I walked up to her desk and looked straight in her blue eyes to show I'm giving her my attention.
"Sure thing. What's up?"
She pulled out a folder from her desk drawer and handed it to me.
"Can you take this up to the office please? I trust you won't just take this as an opportunity to skip class."
Ugh. The office was all the upstairs. I just came down from there!
"Yeah I will."
She gave me a gentle smile that gave me the feeling she was thankful.
I just decided to leave my stuff on my desk and walked out the classroom with a pass.
I walked up all the way to the office and delivered the folder without a problem. The secretary's know me kinda well. I'm always up there to speak to the counselor. Most of the time its about stress and grades. Other times is for my parents. But its pointless to speak about to them. Their already gone.
While walking back I heard a strange noise coming from one of the hallways. It echoed as if there were ghost all around me.
Now they say in horror movies to never go investigate the scary noises coming from the basement. But I couldn't help myself but to be curious of what this sound was.
I walked closer to the hallway of where the noise was coming from. When I got closer it sounded as if someone was...crying.
I turned into the corner of where the hallway ended and saw a figure pinned to the wall by another figure.
I focused to see who the figures were and what they were doing.
It was that skeleton! He had some poor crying monster pinned to the wall. The monster looked to have no arms and was wearing some stripped yellow and brown sweater.
The skeleton looked mad as hell, and his left eye was glowing a sky blue. It looked like fire was just flaming out of his socket, and the the other was completely black.
"Do you know anyone with one or not!?"
Not only was his appearance scary, but so was his voice. It's was so low and sounded as if he was ready to just watch the little guy die of complete fear.
"N-no! I-I told you I don't know a-any humans!"
"Damn it!" The skeleton used his fist and struck him right in the stomach with his anger.
I couldn't just stand here and watch as this little guy was getting beat. I had to do something or else the guilt would be the death of me.
I stepped out from the end of the hall and screamed as loud as I could. "Hey! Leave him alone!"
The skeleton looked at me with shock but then gave me an amused smile. His eyes turned back to they're normal white pupils and just shoved his hands in his pockets.
"The runt can leave. You on the other hand can't leave."
The little monster ran away from for safety, while I was getting a finger shoved into my chest.
"Your gonna keep your pretty little mouth shut. What you just saw here, never happened."
His eyes went dark as night. No pupils, not blue flames, just darkness. It kinda scared me a little.
"And if you do rat me out...your gonna have a really bad time. Understand?"
I looked him deep in his dark sockets. As much as I knew I should just run to the nearest class and tell the teacher what the hell just happened, it would be a bad idea.
I don't like messing with the monsters. And who knew how smart this guy is. He could easily make it look like I just wanna get this guy in trouble cause he's a monster. People may like me here, but that doesn't mean anything.
I sighed and pushed his finger away from me.
"Alright. But you just keep the hell away from me."
He smiled and even gave me a little laugh. "No problem. I don't need you anyway."
He turned around with shoving his hands in his pockets as if nothing even happened.
I wonder who he was looking for. Or what he was looking for. Someone important I guess. Whatever. It doesn't matter. He's gonna stay away from me now and I don't need to worry about him.
For the rest of the day I didn't even see him. I just took my classes, got my grades and that was that.
After school ended I did my normal routine of walking home.
I only lived a mile away, and the kids in my bus drive me insane. So I started to walk everyday to both school and home.
It's nothing much really. I just turn on a tune and listen all the way. The walk was nice too. It was calm and the sounds of people walking in the city streets just made me wanna lay down and take a nap.
I lived alone in a nice city apartment. And sure it had its ups and downs, but I managed. Its kinda peaceful and I can have everything done my way. Sure I wish I wasn't alone but it was better this way. Kinda why I just keep to myself and stay away from others.
My normal routine to get to my apartment is to through this ally way near a cafe.
Again...Another bad horror movie decision.
Nothing really lived here actually. I never saw any homeless, hookers or drug dealers either. Just rats and maybe a cat once in a while.
I entered into the dark entrance of the ally way and had a bad feeling in my gut. I turned around to see a some strange figure standing where I entered.
I just kept walking.
Maybe he was just someone who was taking the same path I was?
As I continued down the ally way, there was another figure at the end where I'm supposed to exit.
I tried turning around, but the figure from the entrance was standing right behind me. It has some sort of goat skull like head. The rest of his body was covered with a black jacket and jeans. Its eye was the same as the skeleton at school had. Its eye was even glowing blue and flaming just like his.
The other got closer to me and looked the same as his friend. Except his skull was slightly different and his eye was glowing orange on his right eye.
"Frisk."
They're voices sounded glitchy and rough. It was like talking to a speaker with water in its speakers.
Wait..how did they know my name?
"Please...I-I don't want any trouble." I said it so weakly. I wanted to fight back but I knew if I tried I would have been dead.
The two of them looked at each other then looked back at me. The orange one then made a fist and I suddenly felt a heavy weight on my chest. It was like someone was grabbing my insides and just squeezing as hard as they could.
I was then lifted above the ground so my feet weren't touching the rough cement below. The pain in my chest was even worse and the only thing I could do was grunt from it.
I tried to move but was almost impossible to.
"P-please let me go! I'll give you anything you want!"
The blue one grabbed my wrist.
"Give us your soul!"
My soul? What do they mean?
"My soul?"
He squeezed my wrist and started to bend down almost breaking it. "Now!"
I screamed from the pain. I didn't know what they meant, I didn't even know what was going on. I just wanted to go home.
Suddenly, the orange monster was flown into the wall nearest to him and got pretty knocked out. The weight on my chest then disappeared and I fell to the ground on my knees grabbing my chest to relieve the pain.
I looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in front of me offering his hand. It was the skeleton from school! Did he just save me or was I dead?
As I took his hand he pulled me up and immediately pulled his hand away as if I was poisonous to touch.
Gee you save my life, offer to help me up, and then I'm now something to not touch. Thanks.
The remaining monster looked like he was ready for some sort of attack. The skeleton stood in front of me. His eye started to glow blue like it did in the hallway in the school. His hand was also starting to glow blue just as much.
"Leave er alone bud."
The monster stayed in its position for a solid thirty seconds but then went to normal with some sort of growl. He laid a hand on his unconscious friend then disappeared into thin air.
The skeleton then turned and stepped back to face me. His eyes were now back to normal and his hand was no longer flaming. He shoved his hands in his pockets and gave me a deadpan stare.
I had so many questions. Who were those guys? Why were they after me? What did I do. Why was he here? Who even is he?
He probably read my face on how confused I was. He sighed on annoyance and looked straight at me.
"The names Sans."
Sans...
"Frisk. What was-"
"They're looking for a human with a red soul that is filled with a lot of determination."
"What do you mean by soul?"
He gave me the look as if I was the most stupid human being in the world.
"Your supposed to be the smartest in your class and you don't know anything about souls?"
I put my hand on my hip, showing him I really didn't appreciate that comment.
He rolled the lights in his eyes. He then took one of his hands out of his pockets and hovered it over my chest.
Was he trying to touch my breast? I think the fuck not! I backed away and covered my chest. I was about to scream at him but he stopped me with his own words.
"Oh would you calm down? I'm trying to show you something."
I stepped forward again and uncovered my chest letting him do whatever he was doing.
After a moment, a red glowing heart appeared in his hand. It was in the shape of a heart a little kid would draw, and it was glowing bright as if it was filled with something keeping it that way. It was so beautiful.
I noticed that Sans was looking at it in awe. But when he saw I noticed, he stopped.
"This is your soul. Its the very culmination of your being. This breaks, you die."
Seems simple enough. But I still had questions.
"So why are they after mine? Whats so special about it?"
"Each soul had a different trait and color. Your soul on the other hand, is very rare from the others and can only be found every thousand years. The reason they want it..."
He paused for a slight moment. I thought I was going to have snap him back but he fixed himself.
"I don't really know."
He then placed his hand on my chest and the soul faded away from his hand.
So now I have these guys after me because I have a special soul. I have to admit, that's pretty cool I have a really rare soul, but what am I supposed to do?
"Alright so now I just have be careful. No big deal."
Sans shook his head.
"Nope. What your gonna have to do (sadly) is pack some things and come with me."
Wait what? Go with him? He must be joking.
I start to laugh a little, maybe a little more over dramatically.
"That's funny. I appreciate that you saved me and all, but I still don't want you around me."
"This isn't a joke!" His smile turned into a frown and his eyes furrowed as his eyes went dark again.
I stopped laughing as he got in my face.
"I'm not happy about it either. But if you want your sorry ass to live and go to college then I suggest you listen and go pack!"
I kinda felt bad for lying. I did not like this guy one bit, but if I don't go with him I could get killed by whatever those things were. I did have more questions, but I figured I'd get them sometime soon.
I didn't like it but I guess I had no choice.
"Alright alright. Where we going anyway?"
He put his finger up to his teeth as he was thinking. Does he really need to think?
"I don't really know to be honest. I'm gonna take you to a man who... can keep you safe. But in order to find him I need to ask a few friends some questions."
Great. I'm laying my life on a skeleton who doesn't even know where I'm going. And judging by his voice, he's not telling the complete truth either.
"What about school? My life?"
"Don't worry as soon as this is over, you can go back to being a nerd and we can never see each other again. Alright?"
He held out his hand so we could seal the deal. I guess missing a few days wouldn't hurt...I could probably just say I had the flu. The teachers will help me bring my grades back.
"Alright."
I took his bony dry hand and shook it firmly.
"Deal."
