A teenager by the name of Mike was arguing with his parents about his financial problems. After the argument had ended, he stormed off into his room where he put on his gloves and bandana, he had drawn abs on the bandana since he was little because he thought it looked "cool".

Mike had always wanted to be a professional boxer, so his parents got him cool gloves and a bandana for his 11th birthday, and he still kept them to this day. He taped a picture of his parents onto his punching bag and started punching it with full force to relent his anger, yet he still felt angry, and he felt tired, tired of his parents, tired of the same old house and the same old town, he wanted to run away, to see something new.

Later that night, at around three A.M, he snuck out of his house wearing nothing but a hoodie and his gloves and bandana. He then started running, it felt like something was chasing him, something dark, something...sinister, he ran into the woods and into mount. Ebott, where he stopped to catch his breath at the peak.

"S-show yourself! Whoever you are! I'm...I'm not scared of you!" He shouted in the distance, but all he heard was his echo greeting him back, he took a step back and tripped into a hole, where he fell down into the mountain.

He had landed on his back onto a soft bed of flowers, he grabbed his shoulder, which was dislocated ,"Help! Someone! Anyone!" He shouted into the darkness, he then heard soft footsteps in the distance, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

"Oh my, it seems that you have fallen down." He was confronted by a weird goat woman, but he didn't care what she was, he just wanted to leave his home,"yes, help, I-I think I dislocated my shoulder." He said as she helped him get up.

"Do not worry young one, my name is Toriel and I'm the caretaker of the ruins. Here, I will help you get better." Toriel had taken him home where he was given a small bed. It was way too small for him, but he didn't care, he just wanted to lay down and rest.

"Stay here, I will get the medical supplies." She said as Mike started to get drowsy and soon fall asleep. Mike was awoken by the smell of something delicious, he realised that his shoulder was bandaged up, and when he looked into the darkness, he saw a small plate with a piece of pie on it.

He opened the light and saw a piece of butterscotch pie laying on the floor with a fork and a note next to it ,"Hello, while you were sleeping, I bandaged up your shoulder and made some pie, Love, Toriel."

He took a bite of the pie and it was surprisingly good, he finished eating the pie and went outside to see Toriel sitting on a chair while reading a book ,"Oh, I see that you're awake." She said as she looked up at him ,"There are so many things I would like to show you, there is this book I just bought titled "72 Uses for Snails."

"Um, Toriel...where exactly am I and why are you...being so nice to me?" Mike asked "Well ,I'm being nice to you because...well...your life can't end here now, and I decided to give you a second chance for a nice and healthy life." She said with a smile ,"And you're in the underground, it's a home to all monsters."

Mike smiled at Toriel, she was nicer than his parents by a milestone, maybe living in the underground may not have been such a bad thing.

Mike had been living with Toriel for three weeks and it had been the best three weeks of his life, she had given him food, water, and of course, lots of love and attention. Everyday was almost perfect...almost.

Each night, he would get nightmares where he would be standing in a dark room with a silhouette of a person standing in front of them, all he could see is the person's silhouette, a red glowing heart and what seemed to be the outline of knife by it's side, it would usually just say gibberish, but every night, they would say a new word, the words would usually consist of: First, human, soul, monster's, second, puny, replaced, worthless, irreplaceable, death, cold, and snow.

But one night, the strange shadow was talking in full sentences ,"I was the first human, and I have a powerful soul, much stronger than any monster's. You're only the second human, a puny runt who will probably be replaced by the next worthless human who falls down here. I however, am irreplaceable, I'm special and you're not, soon, death will grip your soul and you will die in the cold...in the snow."

"Who are you? I didn't understand a thing you said!" Mike yelled as the shadow's smile became twisted and diabolical ,"You want to meet me, don't you? Well, all you have to do is exit the ruins, simple as that and you have to do it right...NOW!" The demon had showed Mike their face for a split second, they had an evil, demonic smile and red eyes, their face was stained with blood and their hair was a mess.

Mike had woken up, panting and sweating, he wiped sweat from his forehead, he had to do it, that thing wasn't going to torment him any longer, and he wouldn't let himself lose to that...thing. He jumped out of his bed and wore his bandana and his gloves, he rushed out of his room into the basement, he sprinted as fast as he can through the purple hallways, he had finally found a large, cold door. He took a heavy breath and opened the large doors, his heart filling with BRAVENESS.

It was freezing cold, the wind was howling and a snow storm was brewing, but he didn't care, he pressed on until the snowstorm came. This was definitely a bad idea, he wanted to turn back, but he was too cold and confused to get back.

"Well, well, well, lookie here who finally decided to arrive." A familiar voice said ,"Show yourself! I'm not afraid of you!" He said as he felt his heart fill up with something that won't let him be afraid. "Here I am." The spirit said as he turned around to find that familiar face that was in his nightmares, somehow, it looked even scarier in real life than in a nightmare.

But Mike wasn't scared, he tried to punch it, but it easily dodged his attacks ,"Stay...still!" He said as he tried to punch the thing over and over. It shook its head at him ,"wow...you're pitifully weak...your soul won't do." It said while it shook its head at him some more,"well...Asgore might appreciate the soul." They said before they disappeared into the darkness.

Mike had collapsed to the ground, he was tired and he was left to die in the cold abyss ,"HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!" He yelled at the top of his lungs as he collapsed onto the ground trying with all his might not to die…BUT NOBODY CAME...

,"It's so cold...so...so cold..."
