Warnings: Suicide and cursing (Watch out for cursing in all of my chapters)

Really triggering stuff: Adorable skeletons may trigger 'awws'

All of your pain was finally coming to an end. You were tired of your painful life. You're surprised you've even lived this long! You weren't sad, and you were far from happy, you didn't know what you were feeling. A strange mixture of emotions. Pain, anger, agony, numbness.. You didn't even know anymore. But whatever you felt, it was going to end today.

You walked up the tall mountain, the only one in your area. Mt. Ebbot. It was fabled that the entrance to where the monsters, that supposedly lived underground, lived; this is the fabled Barrier. But it didn't only serve that purpose, a few people have jumped down from here and have never been seen again; this mountain would be perfect for suicide.

You, however, did not believe the tales of these monsters. Most didn't anyways. The older kids at school always told you that it was only a folktale when you were in third grade or so. You wish you were back in the days, you were a naive child that was so innocent to the world. Now you were a college student who was too pathetic to keep her grades up for once.

You reached the end of the mountain, the breeze making your hair sway in the wind. You looked down the huge cliff that lay before you; you've finally made it. But was it worth it? You had so much potential that you could've used. But there was no going back now. You would only die in the end anyways.

You decided to make this quick and possibly painful. You closed your eyes, held your breath, and gracefully jumped off of the ledge. You smiled as tears ran down your face. It was finally over. All of the pain and suffering, it was gone now. You suddenly felt weightless as you fell down. And then, everything faded to a comfortable black.

You woke up in a bed of flowers that must've cushioned your fall. You groaned as you suddenly felt a pounding in your head. Why couldn't you have just died? I mean, there had to be a very slim chance of surviving that kind of impact! You know you should be thanking the stars you're alive but at the same time you're mentally cursing everything that you are.

You gasped as a flower appeared in front of you. It had six yellow petals and a wide smile that seemed strained. It's eyes darted back and forth before landing on you. His strained smile grew wider as he broke the silence.

"Howdy! I'm Flowey! Flowey the flower!" He greeted smoothly as if he had done the same greeting many times before. "You're new down here, aren'tcha? Someone outta teach you how things work around here! I guess little old me will have to do!"

"H-Hi Flowey, I'm (Y-Y/N)," You managed to stutter out, still emotionally weak.

"What a nice name!" He complimented before continuing. "This, right here is your soul, the very culmination of your being! Your soul starts off weak, but can grow strong! How? Why, by LOVE of course! You want some LOVE don'tcha? Down here, love is shared through with little white 'friendliness pellets'! Catch as many as you can!"

You were confused for a second before looking at a green heart shape with black and purple blotches on it, it seemed that there were the pellets coming towards it. Despite your suspicions, you headed towards them anyways. You suddenly felt a sharp pain shock your body, you would've gasped but you remained numb anyways. Afterwards, you very drained, panting for breath.

"Hehehe!" The flower laughed sadistically. "You idiot! In this world, it's kill or be killed! Who would pass up an opportunity like this? DIE."

Yes, you were kind of shocked but you couldn't afford to care anymore. Your goal of coming here was to die, so why not take the opportunity to? You headed towards them again, much to Flowey's surprise. He gasped softly as he continued.

"Why aren't you screaming or something?!" He sounded annoyed. Why?

"Well, honestly… I don't care. I jumped down here to die so why don't I do it now if that failed?" You rambled, gasping when the projectiles stopped.

"Y-You... You're... different," He said, his eyes reflecting sorrow.

"FLOWEY LOOK OUT!" You screamed as a fireball hurled towards him, but he was too late, getting burnt by it. He scrambled under the dirt, probably appearing somewhere else.

"W-Why'd you do that?" You asked the air before a goat creature appeared.

The goat had soft white fur, a purple dress with symbols on it, and beautiful orchid colored eyes. She looked very caring, very motherly. She looked kind of sad for attacking the flower but she probably didn't know the situation. You forgave her in your head, even if she did burn the flower, she might've had a good reason.

"What a terrible creature! Torturing such a poor, innocent youth," She said softly. "I am Toriel, caretaker of the ruins and most of the children that fall down here. Come with me, my child, I will help you recover from the damage done. I'm glad I came in time, I'll explain everything when we arrive to my home."

"I'm (Y/N)," You told her nervously. "T-Thanks for helping me!"

"Oh, it's no problem, my child," She said, flattered by your appreciation.

She lead you to a room with purple walls and a few plants here and there. This must be the entrance of the ruins. Her eyes darted to a puzzle before she spoke up.

"I would educate you of the operations of the ruins, but it is dangerous to right now and I am eager to show you my home, innocent one," Toriel said in a cheerful tone of voice. "But worry not, I will educate you another time when there are more puzzles available."

After a while of walking, you arrived at a tidy house deep within the ruins. It was a purple brick house that had leaves on either side of the house and a tall door. You two walked into the house, the warmth of the air in there surrounded you.

The house had a basement, two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. Toriel lead you into the extremely clean kitchen where there was a delicious smelling pie. It smelled of butterscotch and cinnamon.

"Sorry if it is a tad too warm in here, I was baking a pie for a friend, I guess you can have some too!" Toriel said with a smile as she cut the pie into five slices and served you one on a plate. "I normally make snail pie, but this friend lives in the coldness of Snowdin so I thought I'd bake them a surprise!"

"They'll appreciate it!" You said with a cheeky grin that showed your dimples as she walked down the basement with their slice.

She was down there for a few minutes. You tried to make out the chatter downstairs, but you could only make out the sound of Toriel laughing along with a deep voice before she appeared in the kitchen again. She sat down in front of you and ate some pie too.

"Would you like me to tell you the tale of our people?" Toriel asked as you nodded. "Well, long ago, when I was a little kid, the humans and monsters ruled over the Earth together. But one day, they started a war. The humans won, even with our magic abilities to combat them with. They sealed us under here with a magic spell that we can only break through with a human soul. But the king has way more than he needs and wants one more. That is why everyone is so eager to attack you, my child."

"I-I think you monsters are actually nicer than humans," You said as Toriel beamed at you.

"Thank you!" She said.

"You're welcome" You said as you finished off your pie. "Toriel, I'm sleepy, is there anywhere I can sleep? I-I hope I'm not invading or anything.."

"Oh of course you aren't! I actually like having someone around here! Here, follow me, I have an extra room!" She said, leading you down the hallway and into a medium-sized room.

The room had pink walls, a dresser, a nightstand, and a perfect sized bed to fit you. You sat down on the bed, Toriel sitting beside you.

"I've had this room prepared for quite a while now in case anyone showed up," Toriel explained. "Make yourself at home, now. Goodnight, my child. In the morning we'll make a special breakfast for the two of us!"

And with that, she left. Leaving you alone with your thoughts. You were somehow alive, or were you just in a coma? You pinched yourself to make sure. You realized you are real. This is real. You decided you shouldn't overthink things before you closed your eyes and gave into the droopiness of your eyes, falling into a soft, quiet sleep.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this story! I know this seems kind of boring but it'll get more interesting. I'll also try to aim for 1,500 - 2,500 words per chapter. Bye! ^^
