Chapter 1
Out into the world and into custody
It has been years since the monsters have been freed and my grand adventure came to an end. I smile fondly at the memory of everyone's faces as we emerged from that hole in the ground. Chuckling at the reminder of Papyrus, so eager to find new human friends, that he ran off to see if he could find some. Smiling as I remember the others grudgingly follow after him, to keep him from getting into to much trouble. The look on my new mother's face as I told her I would stay with her. The memories, of that moment, fill me with both happiness and peace.
Exactly eight years have passed since then, and monsters have once again been accepted into human culture. Well... I would like to say that with a firm certainty, but that is not entirely the case. You could say, they were grudgingly accepted back into human society, and the trip to that point has been a rocky one. The meetings and rights that they count on so much was up to me, the human ambassador. However, as ambassador, it is a difficult, if not dangerous job. For how can you be a human ambassador when you yourself weren't completely...but I'm getting ahead of myself. Lets start back at the mountain, a safe moment in time before everything went to hell.
Me and Toriel were following the route that the others had taken down the mountain side. We found them in a clearing in the woods. Undyne had taken things into her own hands and was holding back an overly excited Papyrus. The others had seen us coming and waved us over as she finally got him to settle down. Asgore stood in front of Papyrus talking to him quietly. Alphys stood off to the side shifting eagerly from one foot to the other as she looked around in wonder. Undyne had given Papyrus a ruff noogie and told him to straighten up and then gave her own version of a lecture. Toriel giggles softly as I smiled at her and followed suit.
My eyes looked around for a certain skeleton and found him a little ways from us. He was staring off into the distance, through the forest with his back to us. Curious I told my mother I would be back and walked over to him. I slowed and stopped by his side and grinned up into his face. My grin faded a bit as I saw how intense his face had become. Something was bothering him, I could feel it pulsing from him in unsettling waves. I shivered, even though the air was fairly warm in the light of the dyeing sun.
Even before that moment I had always felt his power. I could from the first time I met him. The power he keeps tightly hidden, was a powerful pulse that seemed to seep from his very person. It was quiet, so very quiet, that it was but a whisper on my conciseness. He both scared and intrigued me. In my heart, I knew that one false move, would be my end. I was lucky that he even let me live up to that moment, with the knowledge that he could have killed me the moment I left the ruins all that time ago.
The moment his concentration shifted felt like an invisible snap in the air. He slowly turned his head to look down at me. Well down as a few inches in difference to our height. We were both very short people. Me at five feet and he at five two. His eyes bore into me for a moment before they turned into a small quiet smile. He lifted his right hand from his pocket and rested it on my head. The small charge of energy from the contact buzzed lightly through my body and I felt myself purring at the contact.
He chuckled, " You did well kid, very well. I'm very proud of you." his deep voice said quietly, the others voices seemed to have faded a bit as his words register in my ears. "You freed us and once again gained no love. But gained love." He chuckles again, the rubbing action causing me to snuggle up against his side. My arms hugged him to me as I purred loader ( yes I purr like a cat, you'll find out later). His hand continues to pet me affectingly. "You have no idea how proud I am kid and I hope I can see you shine again in the days to come." his smile turns into a smirk, "Miss Monster Ambassador."
I looked up at him curiously, and found his glowing eyes very close to my face. I gasped a bit and felt my face heating up. I had known, at the time, that maybe he had a thing for Toriel, but I could not seem to help my strange attraction to the pun loving skeleton. So I smiled and buried my face into his jacket again. My purrs continued as I rubbed my face on the softness of the fur around his hood. The feeling of his hand petting me, the comfort of his energy, and his breath ( yes he can breath) on my hair, filled me with such a profound sense of peace. The one thing I haven't felt in so long, I now felt in the arms of this man. I had breathed in deeply of him and smelt bone, spice, snow, and hot dogs. It was a weird scent, but so much like him that I tried desperately to memorize the odor.
"Frisk!"
I turn and was released by Sans, as Toriel makes her way to me. Her eyes alight on the two of us and smiled.
"Frisk dear, I think we may need your help. Is that okay?" she says in a calm voice.
The love for my new mother grows!
Pride at having a new mother fills me with Determination!
I nod eagerly and take her outstretched paw. Her paw pulses with a low warmth that I wanted to hold onto forever.
We walked back to our little group with Sans behind us and gathered in a semi circle.
"WELL HUMAN!" Papyrus starts, "IT SEEMS WE NEED A GUIDE OUT OF THESE WOODS! WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO HELP THE GREAT PAPYRUS AND HIS FRIENDS ON THIS ENDEAVOR!" He posed heroically and everyone sighs.
Sans grins a bit.
I chuckled and nodded in agreement.
Turning to everyone, I saw their determined expressions. I grinned wider as I pointed to the destination of a path I remembered close to the mountain. They nodded, and after taking Toriel's hand, we began our trek down the path.
At that time my thoughts were racing with excitement as I walked with my friends down that winding path further from the hill. The thoughts, 'I was helping! I was doing something good! I was worth something!' echoed in my mind as I squeezed Toriel's hand in glee.
My pride and determination was close to bursting until we finally found the road that I was looking for. It was miles from the mountain and the sight of it blew every ounce of that pride and determination out the window.
Frozen on the spot, I stood staring at the blacktop that slicked toward and away from the mountain. Memories, sick twisted memories, surfaced, and I found myself trembling.
I felt concern from the others, I didn't need to look at them to feel it. They saw me, their hero falter, at the site of a human made path.
Hehh, some hero I was...
NO!
I shook my head and once again could feel the determination fill me...a bit.
" Is everything alright my child?" Toriel asked, worry coating her voice. I didn't look at her. I didn't want her to see the battle I was fighting with the demons in me.
" Ah their fine!" Undyne said with confidence, laying her elbow on Payprus's shoulder.
He nodded in agreement, " THE HUMAN IS STRONG! LIKE THE GREAT PAPYRUS! NOTHING CAN GET THEM DOWN!"
I smiled at that and pointed my head down to my right, the sight of lights in the distance intrigued them instantly. The cold seemed to intensify at the small glimmer of lights that could be seen passed over the tree tops.
"WOWWY! SO THIS IS A ROAD!"
Papyrus, in his excitement walked out onto the black top and the others followed before I could stop them.
"AMAZING! HUMAN, IS THIS WHAT OTHER HUMANS HAVE MADE!? THIS IS, THIS IS A REAL HUMAN ROAD! HUMANS DRIVE ON THIS! I CAN'T BELEAVE THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAS LIVED TO SEE A REAL HUMAN ROAD!" He's on his knees now feeling the road in marvel.
" Oh! M...m..my! I've seen this in so many anime's! In episode one! Of mew mew kissy cutie they...!"
" Wow this thing!" Undyne taps it with a spear tip, " Amazing! Its seems hard and strong! Humans must revel in that! They might not be so bad after all!" She laughs until her spear breaks through the road.
I watched from the side filled with uncertainty. As much as I wanted them to enjoy their first sign of human life I knew better. That there were many dangers in being in the middle of the road close to night fall. I then noticed that one monster did not approach the road at all. Sans stood there, looking for all the world, laid back and bored. But his aura was stretching, alert, he was on guard. I smirked at that and decided that it was time they got back to the safer side of the road. Walking over, I begin to pull Toriel's hand back into the forest. She seemed to get the hint and alerted the others back as well.
And I believe you know what was going to happen next, and you'll be right. As soon as most of them were making their way back into the woods I heard it. The sound of a very fast approaching vehicle speeding down the road. It was coming fast.
I looked around to see if everyone was off of the road, but no. Papyrus was still there, apparently oblivious to his danger.
"Hey bro I think you should move." Sans says coolly, but I could hear his agitation.
"BUT BROTHER! THE SMELL, THE FEEL! ITS MORE THEN I EVER DREAMED OF!" Papyrus looks back at us his eye sockets filled with wonder, hands clasped before him. He looked innocent as an angel, just as the lights of a sports car lit his profile majestically as it speed closer.
Papyrus turns to look at the car, his eyes holding a question.
Sans eye glows blue, His arm stretched, reaching out. His expression filled with dread.
Everyone had frozen...
The car was upon him.
Papyrus was shoved to the side out of harms way and into his brothers arms.
My eyes filled with determination as the car's lights filled my vision.
I opened my eyes.
Then screaming.
The sports car zooms on by unencumbered.
My body flew through the air, a swirl of colors and wind blowing harshly in my ears.
My body lands behind the monsters and into a bush.
More screams as my vision took in the canopy of trees above me.
Then their faces find me, filling my vision with worry, fear, and horror.
Voices cryed out and ask if I'm all right.
Toriel's eyes were filled with tears as she reaches for me.
She holds me and checks for wounds.
I look at their faces...and smile.
"HUMAN ARE YOU ALRIGHT! YOU SAVED ME!" Papyrus fells to his knees beside us and I saw tears leaking from his sockets.
Smiling wearily and reached out to him. My hands brushed his bony face and I brought it to me. I kiss his skull softly and hold him to my chest. His tears increased as well as his whimpers. I patted his back in assurance.
" I don't believe it kid!" Undyne said in awe. " You should have been a pancake from the speed that thing was going! Your tougher then I thought! I like it! When we get a chance kid, I'm going to train ya! With skills like yours, you'll be great in the guard!"
Toriel looked horrified at that, " I don't think that is necessary, they almost died!" She held both me and Papyrus close. " They both could have. Don't you ever do that again! My goodness!" She squeezed us closely rubbing our heads with her chin in worry. In her arms me and Papyrus looked at each other and smiled.
" Wo...wow! That was amazing Frisk! Such speed! I didn't even see you move!" Alphys says, her eyes looking like a fan girl who has just met her favorite boy band member.
Asgore's face was filled with relief as he stood a bit off to the side of Toriel. Knowing she was still mad at him and not wanting to cause conflict, he graced us with his presents and warmth.
My eyes finally fell on Sans, and widened a bit. He stood apart from us again, his eyes dark. He looked like he was thinking hard about something. Maybe what had just happened. Then his eye lights popped back on and he looked at me. His face gave me the impression of mixed relief and puzzlement. At that look I found myself holding Papyrus closer. Glad that I acted when I did. Even if it was using that ability.
After everyone had calmed down we continued our walk. We kept a good distance away from the road, stopping and hiding every time a car zoomed on by. We finally reached a naked portion of the woods were a small field stretched out and revealed a sloping hill. Beyond that a lower elevation of land where the closest city rested.
That was Ebott city, where I was born and where I was terrified to go back to. But I looked back at my friends. All of them had followed me here without any questions, they trusted me.
And that filled me with Determination.
Releasing Toriel's hand I started to march toward the city. When I heard the sound of many feet following me I turned back and shook my head.
"What is wrong my child?" Toriel asks, as they stopped a few paces in front of me.
I sighed and took a look at them. I love them all so much, and I wanted to test the waters first before I even dared to bring them into the city.
I swallow and calmly say in a soft voice, " I want to see if there is any safe way to introduce you all to the people of the city. Theses people are highly unpredictable and I don't want anyone getting hurt."
Then I added to myself, 'Because of me."
They seemed to understand that and Papyrus steps forward to say, "TINY HUMAN, AS PAYMENT FOR RESCUING ME I THE GREAT PAPYRUS, SHALL WALK WITH YOU TO INSURE YOUR SAFTY!" He says this with his chest puffed out and a hand firmly panted there to show determination.
"Ah no your not Papyrus! If your going so am I!" Undyne came up behind him. She also posed dramatically and grinned revealing her sharp teeth.
Toriel looked doubtful. " I don't think that would work at all." They both looked at her in question.
" Frisk just explained that they might attack out of fear. Remember Humans will usually attack first and ask questions later when it comes to the unknown."
Both Papyrus and Undyne's face fall at the reminder. They walked back to the group quietly and Toriel stands worried but obliging my wishes.
I nodded, and took a step toward the city again.
"Hey Kiddo."
Turning I see Sans approaching. He stopped in front of me and he said in a low voice, " Are you sure you don't want any help? Any at all?" His eyes stared at me, filled with concern.
I smiled wearily at him. " I think I can handle it Sans, but thank you."
His expression had darkened again, but I had no time to pay it any mind. So I gave him my back and continued walking to the city.
It took a while, but I had finally reached the city's boarders. I started to shake as I took in the high buildings, machines, beasts, and people.
I hated the city with all of my heart. It was filled with bad people. But this was the closet to human civilization that the monsters could hope to get their first taste of human inhabitants. This was best test of human acceptance of monsters coming back into the world.
I stepped into the boarders of the city and started walking onto familiar streets. My head down and my shoulders hunched. I had decided ahead of time that the best place to go was the police station. So that was where I was trying to go. As I walked I began to notice people staring at me. They saw my dirty clothes, the rips in them, the blood, the messed up hair. But I ignored them and continued to walk. I pushed aside their scorn and stayed straight on my path.
It was always like this in the city. If you were not clean, pristine, wearing the latest crap, and loaded to the nines in cash, you where nothing. I hated that way of thinking, but it had always been that way. And after so long underground, It seems it still remained the theme of the city.
After many long moments of mindless wondering I noticed something. I was seriously lost. I began to look about but some how I did not know any of the land marks around me. After being underground for so long, it seemed harder to navigate above it.
I decided to ask for help. I walked up to an overweight lady, covered from head to toe in her finery, talking to other well to do ladies.
First I tried to clear my throat. Nothing.
I did it loader. Still nothing.
I then poked her arm softly. That got her attention.
She turned and I was met with a chubby, chunky, overly makeup heavy face. Rubies and diamonds sparkled in her ears and hair as she glared down at me from so high above.
" Ewww..." She sneered, "Look ladies, the local trash has come to say hello."
They all giggled and twittered as I stood there before them, filled with the old exhaustion and. Exhausted with being looked down, belittled, as I said, it was always like this.
Remembering my friends it gave me the courage to continue to try.
"Madam." I said calmly but clearly after they finished tittering, " I wanted to ask if you know the way to the police station?"
She snickered, " Oh dear if that's what you want, I can do you one better."
I smiled a bit. Maybe things might work out this time?
"I'll just call them over right now, their just over yonder." she replied with her chunky hand pointing lazily behind me.
I looked at her confused until two shadows fell over me.
Turning I saw two very unfriendly officers glaring down at me.
" Is there a problem Miss?" One of the officers said as he looks at me as if I was shit under his shoe.
"Why yes sir. This waif of filth interrupted me and my ladies. If that wasn't bad enough, they put their dirty hands on me!"
My eyes and mouth opened in astonishment. I felt numb as big hands grabbed my arms and lifted me high above the ground. I shriek out in fright and they ruffly put my hands behind my back. The pain that tore through my shoulders was agonizing. For a split second I wanted to open my eyes. But I fought it.
I must not open my eyes!
"Don't worry miss, we have everything under control."
They took me away while the women giggled at my predicament.
I wanted to fight back, to shout, but they were taking me where I needed to go. And if I fight now I wont be much of an ambassador to the monsters.
They threw me into a car with hard plastic white seats and drove me to the nearest station. The entire ride I sat still and quiet as they chatted up front. I looked outside, as I rubbed my shoulders, and watched the lights go by. If I have to say anything that I kinda like about this city, was the lights at night. The stores, the street lamps, even the traffic lights, lit up the world as if it was something all together different then the world of day. The fact of the matter was, in a way it was very different. This time of day was when the worse kinds of people came out. The memories of nights in the city crept up in my mind, filling me with feelings of bitter sweetness.
After arriving at the station and parking inside of the overly crowded looking parking lot, they opened the door and grabbed me again. I was slightly surprised at this since I did nothing wrong. I did not yell or fight, but I was still treated as if I was a problem child. They hauled me once again by the arms and dragged me into the station. The white halls and smells hit me first as I fought with all my might not to panic and thrash. The pain in my arms became unbearable by the time they took me to my destination.
In a windowless room with a table and chairs. They threw me in and locked the door.
I sighed out and took a seat at the table. Laying my head down on the table I crossed my arms under it and cursed in frustration.
What am I to do now?
A few minutes passed as I sat there worrying about the others and how they were probably fretting about me being gone for so long. Then two men walked in. Different from the two cops, that brought me here, theses guys looked purely professional. They wore the usual cop investigator gear, I'll let you use your imagination here for their description. The difference between them I will give you was one wore glasses, the other had a blue tie.
Blue tie sat on the other side of the table and spread a load of folders before me. Glasses stood in the shadows.
Tie then looked at me with a dead pan expression before speaking. " So tell me kid. I heard you were picked up in the middle of the city after allegedly assaulted a woman, am I correct?"
I stayed silent and shook my head.
He continued to bombard me with questions. Where I lived, wheres my family, so on and so on.
The entire time I responded with nodding or shaking my head until glasses had enough. Irritated, he steps forward and motions is partner with his head to step aside. Tie gets up and takes Glasse's place at the corner while Glasses sat in front of me.
His energy was very dark.
I gulped and tried to remain determined.
"Do you even know how to speak kid?" His eyes glare coldly at me, filling me with the same feeling I felt when... I nodded slowly.
"Then why don't ya?"
I looked down at my hands and said softly, " I didn't want to."
He snorted, " Your under custody kid. Police custody. And if you don't cooperate fully, we will take drastic measures. And you don't want that do ya?"
I stared at him in amazement, though with my squinted eyes and wild hair over them, it made it difficult for them to notice.
" I thought I was cooperating sir." I reply quietly.
His fist slams into the table causing me to jump and squeak in surprise.
" Not good enough kid! I want words! Tell us where the hell you came from."
Sighing I had to reminded myself why I came here. Why I was here. The faces of all my beloved friends filled my mind and I knew I had to keep trying. So I then explained to them about my adventure in Mt. Ebott, but I barely got far when Glasses fist cratered the table once again.
" I didn't say tell stories kid! I want facts. If there's nothing I hate more its liars! Tell me where you came from!" Then his expression hardened further as he stared harder at where my eyes were.
" And I want you to open your eyes and look at me when I'm talking to you." his voice was low and threatening.
My body freezes at that. People hated my eyes, I can't show them my eyes! I never even opened my eyes fully for the monsters to see them. The would hate me, like everyone else hated me.
I shook my head firmly at that and found my lips tightening.
"What did you say?" He snarled as he leaned further across the table. His energy was bubbling now, with malice.
He wasn't stable, why was he here! Why was he investigating me! Dangerous!
I glanced at Tie and noticed he didn't move. He wasn't going to interfere.
This was the most extreme version of good cop bad cop I've ever experienced, and I never thought to find myself in this type of situation.
"Hey!"
My face swirled back to Glasses. His face was red and I found myself leaving my seat and getting up in fear. He shoved me back and grabbed my shirt.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" He yelled out as he shook me a bit. Fear gripped me powerfully as his hold not only tightened around my shirt, but pinched into my breast bone.
I shook my head more and whimpered as he lifted me out of my seat. My legs dangled above the table. Tie seems to be making an attempt to say something, but Glasses was to far gone to hear him.
"OPEN YOUR EYES YOU LITTLE BITCH! You fucking slut! I'll pound you within every inch of your life! I'll make you wish you were never born you filthy skank!" He shook me harder. The pain of his fists repeatedly hitting my chest and the jarring of my head forcefully being thrown about, caused me to mentally cry out in fear. My hands were gripping his wrists as I tried to plead for him to stop. My mind emptying quickly of everything except getting this man to stop hurting me.
Suddenly Glasses red face vanished as he was shoved forcefully away against the other side of the room. The impact of his body meeting the far wall caused a deep crater to form. He slowly slid down and onto the floor groaning in pain the entire time.
My body remained floating in the air surrounded by blue light. I then felt myself slowly descending into the awaited arms of a certain skeleton.
" So Kid, it seems you needed a little help after all." said Sans as he holds me close to his chest, his left eye burning in raged.
At the sight of him my heart filled with an instant warmth, and it spread like hot water through my chest. Seeing him there, holding me close and secure, made me feel safe in the world of humans for the first time in my life.
I believe, it was at that moment, I fell instantly in love with him.
"Sans!"
My arms flew around him in relief as I started to rub my face against his skull. My purrs vibrated from deep in my throat as I held him tightly to me.
"Hey kid, your not hurt are ya?" Sans asked in a quite voice his arms tightening around me as my purring grows louder.
My face pressed deep into his neck bones and the fur of his jacket hid my face, I shook my head no.
"I'm okay Sans." I say quietly, my arms and body bundling closer to his.
I was just so happy to see a friendly face again after being reminded how cruel humans were. It was like having an angel descend upon you in a nightmare you had before, and holding you to keep you safe.
Hee heee.. I guess that made Sans my bony angel? Ahaha...I suck at puns.
The two officers weren't impressed by our reunion and they took no time in showing it.
"What the fuck is that!?" Screamed Glasses as he slowly pushed up from the floor. His back pressed against the far wall that he had been thrown into.
Tie stayed back looking at Sans with horror in his eyes.
"That's a fucking Zombie man! God damn it ! Shoot its fucking head off man! The only way to kill it!"
Shrieks Glasses as he struggled to get his gun from his belt.
Sans raised an "eyebrow" at them as Tie and Glasses took out and aimed their guns at Sans.
"I don't think that's a good I..." But before he could finish his warning, the two opened fire.
I whimpered and cried out at the sound of shots fired, and flinched in fear of impact. But nothing happened.
Turning in San's arms, my gaze landed on several metal objects hovering just inches before my face.
Shivering hard I cuddled closer to Sans as he grinned grimly at the two men.
" Was about to say, before you took a shot at me, that its best if you don't. However it was very kind of you to shoot to the point." he said dryly. His finger, that I then noticed, was raised up in a point and had a faint blue glow around it. He waved it slightly and the metal objects fell uselessly to the floor.
The two men sputtered and hugged the walls in fear, as Sans grin took a darker expression.
"Now I think we can try to talk like civilized beings now? I don't want our first meeting to be a bonezaster, don't you agree?" His voice became dark and low, dripping with a surprising mixture of threatening and his usual puniness, that I could do nothing more then gawk at him.
Tie was the first to straighten away from the wall and he touched his Blue tie nervously.
"W..w...what a...a..are..y..you?" He stuttered, his nerves visibly shaken.
" Ahh, nothing more then a friendly neighborhood skeleton. I just wanted ta have a peak around this lovely city and see if there's some one higher up I could talk to? Looking to move in and lay down some roots, if you get my meaning?" he said this light heartedly, like the old Sans I knew, except for the cold expression and the ever present burning eye of his.
"Yeah sure...right..let me just go get my superiors and we'll have a little talk. You can just sit here and wait until we get back." Tie grabs Glasses arm and slowly take a few steps toward the door.
I felt his intention, his thoughts echoed out to me as if he was yelling them in a large cave.
"Gotta get outta here! More guns! More people! Have to have a weak spot! Both monsters! Must stay alive! Gotta get the Priests of purity!"
At that thought I stopped listening to him and felt fear ripping through me like a knife in the gut. Cold dread ate at me as the information wedged itself deep into my mind.
" Never Forget the Priests of Purity you monster! Never forget! Never forget!"
Voices of a not so distant past echoed through my mind as I watched the officers walk slowly closer, and I new I had to act. I had only a few moments before they were close enough to Sans for him to make the move to let them leave or not. I didn't want to take any chances! Unfortunately that means I have to use that ability again.
Not caring if he hatted me or not, I tuned my energy to Sans and, for the first time in my life, used my ability to talk to someone
" Sans, Sans its me Frisk!"
His body straightened as he felt my power, the officers stopped seeing him stiffen.
"Kid?"
"No time Sans! They are planing to bring more people in here to try to detain or kill you! They also plan to bring the Priests of Purity! They're a magical association of priest's who's goal is to eradicate all existing monsters who didn't get exiled into Mt. Ebott! If they catch you and find out that the seal is destroyed they might do something really nasty Sans!"
His face never turned to look at me but continued to stare hard at the men before us. The entire conversation lasted mere seconds and in that time his face became blacker.
Then suddenly his grin came back and he smiled brightly at the two men.
"You know what guys? I think I'll see myself and my little friend here will just see ourselves out. Don't want to trouble ya any." He straightened and gave them a little salute with his head.
"Oh no you don't you little...!" Glasses, seemingly overcoming his fear, tries to tackle Sans.
One moment his red face comes barreling toward us, the next we were up high on a building overlooking the city.
The sudden change in temp caused my body to instantly shake.
Sans rearranges me to sit on one arm, as he opens up his jacket wide enough to snuggle me inside and zip me up. My still underdeveloped chest pressed against his bony chest, and my legs were wrapped around his hips. My arms were wrapped around his neck still as my head remained resting on his shoulder. I could practically feel every outline of his bones through his padded clothing.
My face had become a flame by the time he was done zipping me up and making sure I was comfortable. He sighed as he rubbed my back through the thick layer of his coat, his bony chin resting on my shoulder.
"Better kid?" He asked as his body heat began to warm me. For a bony guy, he was very warm. Or could that be his heavy coat that did that?
I nodded and nuzzled his neck again in comfort.
He sighed again, " Now what buck o? If theses guys are the real deal of a threatening meal, we need to stop them from finding out about us and keeping us from our freedom."
He grunts as his arms hold me tighter. "I'm not going to sit back and watch them take away what we worked so hard for," He then looks down at me, his glowing eyes intense, "What you sacrificed yourself for."
Blinking up at him, I nodded in understanding and tried to think. There was no real way to stop them from knowing since, I would guess, they have already been phone called, but if we could just...
Peaking up at Sans I said, " What if we met the Mayor?"
"Mayor?" His voice questioning.
" The Mayor who runs Ebott city? His building is always easy to spot," I pointed out to a very large flashy building just in front of us. Or behind me and in front of Sans.
"That one I believe. It said he's always there, he lives there."
He grunted and gave my head a ruff pat, "Worth a shot kid."
Suddenly Sans became still and his left eye glowed a bright blue. Then a shifting in the air as we were instantly transported to the building where the mayor could be found.
It took us no time to find the Mayor. He was alone in his loft. It was a very richly decorated place and he was in the middle of talking to himself in the mirror.
Long story short, we where able to talk to him, after of course we calmed him down after seeing a skeleton appear behind him in the mirror.
After an hour of talking, we were able to get an agreement from him to allow the monsters the okay to come up and build a town around the Mt. Ebott. However getting the okay to come into the city depended on the higher ups. He even agreed to keep the Saints of purity at bay.
It was a mixed emotional encounter for me. At one point funny and the next very chilling. The mayor spent most of his time switching his gaze between me and Sans. When his eyes were on Sans he would stutter and cover his mouth with a tea cup to that was shaking so badly he split tea on himself multiple times. Sans made a few puns to make the transaction easier, but it only caused the mayor to look confused.
But when his gaze was on me it was the most uncomfortable. His eyes took on a glazed look that, sadly, I knew all to well what it was. Sometimes as Sans had is back to us I could see the mayor licking his fingers suggestively, or pursing his lips in a way that was also very suggestive.
I could not stop wishing me and Sans would leave very soon as disgust flooded me.
I also assumed that the only reason the Mayor agreed to this was one of two things. He thought by helping the monsters he would be considered compassionate to them, and maybe get a few more votes in, and or he had a darker motive in mind.
Either way, that night, me and Sans were able to help the monsters take next step on their way to freedom and equality with the humans. However tiny that step was.
But it was worth coming back to the others with the good news. Mother hugged me in worry, and the others crowded around me to hear the news of what happened. I edited the story of course, so as to not worry the them, and once again Sans stood back like before. Watching me. His eyes taking on a thoughtful expression. It wasn't until we were making our way back to the mountain, that he pulled me away from mother long enough to have a few words with me.
" So kid, what happened back there in that weird room? The one with the two freaks? How did you know what they were planing and how were you able to speak to me like that?" His tone was soft and questioning. No sound of disgust yet. That I took for a good sign.
Sighing, I said softly to him, " I've always known the thoughts of man. Had the ability as far back as I could remember. I was afraid to show it to you guys because...," I stopped myself from going on and rethought my words before restarting, " It doesn't matter, the point is I knew what they wanted and I used my ability to tell you so no harm could come to the others at the mountain." I said sternly. My voice sounding older then my thirteen years.
We where quiet for a while before he spoke again.
" And exactly how did you know about the Priests?" he asked softly.
A shudder ran through my body at that question. I lowered my head and said to quietly, " Because they made me remember."
"What kid?"
I repeated myself a little loader.
His gaze stay locked on my face for a while before looking forward again, silent. I could tell he was still full of questions.
Relief flooded me at the reprieve and I tried to concentrate on moving forward.
The sudden sensation of his bony hand upon my head shot through me as he began to slowly pet me.
"Its okay kid. When ever your ready, I'm here for ya. I always have and always will be here."
Tears fell from my eyes and I tried to steady the sniffing that threatened to emerge from my lips.
His arm dropped around my shoulders and pulled me closer to him, his bony body emanating heat and comfort. I leaned into him, snuggling into his side as he tightened his hold on me. We walked slowly far behind the others. The two of us gazing ahead at monsters with hope in their hearts, and both of us hoping we would be strong enough to give them exactly what they needed.
