(Before we start, since this is a reader insert, I probably should tell you what certain words/abbreviations mean... (Y/N) means your name, (F/C) means favorite color... and I think that's about all you need to know. Enjoy I guess...)
Tears in my eyes, I ran as fast as I could away from the place I used to call 'home'. My black converse shoes left footprints in the muddy ground. My (F/C) sweatshirt was dampened by the rain pouring around me. I was heading towards the big mountain, the one that seems to look down on our small town. I had heard the rumors before, of Mt. Ebott, and how no one that has climbed it has ever returned. Now, I'm just praying that those rumors are true.
As I approached the top of the mountain, my footsteps grew slower. I was able to look around at the whole town from up here. Everything looked so... Small. As I was looking around, walking at a slow pace, I didn't notice the vine laid across the ground. I didn't notice the gapping hole before me. And I certainly didn't have enough time to react once I started to fall.
As I fell, I took in one last glimpse of the sky, before I shut my eyes and excepted my fate. What more did I expect but the sweet embrace of death, to erase me from existence. The world seemed to close in around me. I was passed out for at least a hour, before, to my disbelief, I woke up.
I awoke on a bed of golden flowers, unharmed by the fall. I slowly got up, and brushed of some of the dirt from my black jeans. There was a strange light coming from down a hallway, so, I decided to find out what it was. As I turned the corner, I saw a beam of light shining onto a single golden flower. When I took a closer look, I noticed, that this flower had a face.
"Howdy! I'm Flowey! Flowey the Flower!" The flower spoke. I stumbled back once I saw its lips move. "Hmmmmm, You're new to the Underground, aren'tcha?" I slowly nodded my head. "Golly, you must be so confused!" I gave the flower a little smirk and I nodded again. "Someone ought to teach you how things work around here... I guess little old me will have to do! Ready? Here we go!" Ready? Ready for what?
I watched in awe as a little gray heart floated out of my chest.
"See that heart? Thats your SOUL, the very culmination of your being! Your SOUL starts off weak, but can grow if you gain a lot of LV. What's LV stand for? Why, LOVE, of corse! You want some LOVE, don't you? Don't worry, I'll share some with you! Down here, LOVE is shared through little white... friendliness pellets..." This seemed a bit to cheesy to be real... Plus, I stopped 'loving' a long time ago, I can't really trust this guy... can I?
"Move around! Try to get as many as you can!" I focused my energy onto the little gray heart, and tried to move away from the pellets. Nobody just comes up to you and says, 'Hey! Want some friendliness pellets? I promise they're good for your SOUL!' Unless they're drugs or something...
"Hey buddy, you missed 'em. Lets try one more time..." I felt my back pocket. Yep, the lighter was still in there if things went south. The pellets appeared again, and I dodged, once again.
"Is this a joke? Are you braindead? RUN. INTO. THE. BULLE-errr, friendliness pellets."
"Hey 'buddy' enough of this goody-two-shoes act. I can see right through you, 'pal'."
"Hmm, so, not every human is an IDIOT. You know what I'm about to do, don't you."
"Attempt to kill me, the only 'logical' thing to do." My soul was surrounded by little bullets shaped like sunflower seeds.
"Hey look! You're right. Who would pass up an opportunity like this! Listen, about all the stuff I said before, let me tell you, in this world... ITS KILL OR BE KILLED." The bullets started to close in around me as the flower started laughing evilly. I pulled the lighter out of my pocket.
"Most of your victims don't come prepared, do they?" I grabbed a nearby abandoned stick on the ground, and lit the end of it, making it act as a torch. "If those bullets advance any farther, I'll burn that sickening face of yours right off." Flowey's expression changed, and the bullets closed in slower. I think I might have even seen him flitch for a split second.
"Interesting..."
"What?"
"It's just, while you're here, I can't..."
"You can't what?" I brought my stick closer to the flowers face. The bullets dropped. The flower then disappeared into the ground. I stepped back for a minute to calm down. I hadn't been that determined or angry in years. Determined to put that little flower in its place. Determined to live. Maybe the Underground would be a better place for me.
I kept the stick with me as I started walking forward, only to run into another monster. She looked like some kind of goat lady, wearing a nice dress, and a kind expression on her face. She looked like she could be trusted, but, I was never able to trust anyone anymore. I can never be too careful.
"Hello my child, do not be afraid, I am Toriel, caretaker of the RUINS." she said.
I held my still flaming stick in front of me as I looked into the monsters eyes. I didn't say anything, for there was nothing I really could say. I truly didn't want to hurt anybody, but, I still don't like trusting people all that much.
"Please lay down your weapon, there is no need to fight." I stayed frozen where I was, I afraid to move. She started walking towards me, and I started to shake a little bit, but still, I did not lower my weapon.
"I am not going to hurt you my child, please listen to me." She walked up to where I was standing, and stood directly in front of me. I could have attacked her then, but at the same time, I couldn't. I shakily lowered my weapon. She took the stick from my hand and blew out the flame. She put the weapon down, and outstretched her arms, inviting me for a hug. I accepted.
"There there my child, everything is ok. I'm sorry if I startled you. I know this must be very frightening and new to you." I pulled away first.
"I... I have to go... sorry for wasting your time." I walked on ahead of her, and when I heard her footsteps follow, I started to run. Every ounce of determination I felt around that flower was drained from me. The words 'kill or be killed' were repeating over and over in my mind.
It might seem funny, running from the one place you were able to find love, but I was at the point where I couldn't understand the feeling anymore. All that I could think was that I was going to hurt her if I got to close, though why I had that feeling, I didn't know.
I stumbled across some puzzles as I ran, but I was able to solve them pretty easily. I ran into a a frog like creature, which I was able to spare after threatening it. Once I came to a long hallway, I stopped to take a break by the huge pillar I saw there. I took a deep breath and started to think. I soon happened to fall asleep while leaning against it.
