Happy Flowers Fall Up

Chapter 1

AN: This is my first story and I'm not very creative with titles so forgive me. I hope you like this Flowerfell story with a happy ending. Sorry, no spoilers! I'll only tell you it has a happy ending and no more. You'll have to read more to find out. Now on to the story! Enjoy!

I was walking through a dark tunnel. I was looking around frantically, trying to find something familiar. I started to run. I looked down and saw snow. Strangely enough, the snow wasn't cold. I didn't feel anything. I ran farther and saw my brother standing in the snow all alone. No, wait! He wasn't alone. There was a child with him. She looked fairly happy and she ran towards my brother with a playful look on her face. That is when I saw the knife. I tried to yell, "Watch out!" but I was too late. My brother fell to the ground, his head rolling a little off to the side.

I dropped to my knees. "Not again," I cried into my hands, "Not again." When I looked up, I saw the child standing before me, brandishing her knife. I felt my eye beginning to glow, but I didn't have the energy to do anything about the situation. It was too late anyway; my brother was already dead. I just cried and waited for my own imminent doom. I felt the steel slice through my chest. My world was going black. The last thing I saw was her ghostly smile before I stopped breathing.

I sat up in bed, gasping and clutching my chest. I looked down; no blood. I sighed and laid back down. Staring up at the ceiling, I tried to calm down. I knew my brother wasn't the same as he had been and there was no way he was going to take kindly to me waking him up with my screaming again. My red eye was still glowing and I had to screw my eyes shut so that it didn't feel like my eye would explode out of my head anymore. I decided to get an early start to the day, maybe avoid Papyrus and kill the human at the same time. Two birds with one stone would be the best way to start out this day.

I rubbed my non-existent eyes with my boney palms. Those dreams just kept getting worse. I picked up my watch from sock-covered floor. Before I checked the time, I marveled my handiwork. Of all my creations, I was most proud of this little watch. It told the time on four different screens each one with a different time on it. My ever-present smile grew ever-so slightly into a real smile.

I sighed and checked the time in the top right-hand corner. It told me that the previous day had started over again. That was the fifth restart. Maybe that meant to human would beat Toriel soon. I had to make it to the Ruins before the human got past my sentry post. Papyrus would kill me if I let a human escape.

I got dressed in my traditional black shorts, yellow shirt, red jacket, and red tennis shoes. I was too tired from a horrible sleep to walk there and I was going to be late anyway so I teleported to the edge of the woods where I knew the human would appear if Toriel was defeated. I sat behind my favorite tree and watched the door leading from the Ruins. I couldn't stop thinking about Toriel and if she would survive today.

All of a sudden, a human burst out of the huge doors and closed them quickly. The kid was breathing very hard and slumping against the doors. I knew there was no way for Toriel to willingly let the child pass so I immediately assumed that she had been murdered, again. I looked away and shed a tear for my old friend before being overcome with rage. My left eye flamed so much that I could have sworn the tree above me was on fire. This human would pay dearly!
