It was six o'clock. Your mother had left a while ago and the two Anime-obsessed girls were watching the DVDS they had lent you.
"NYAAGH! Just look at him! Using two types of swords at the same time!?" Undone puffs out her chest, excitedly.
"W-Well the master of the Universe gave him that ability, calling it the… I mean, it is really cool huh" Alphys gives a tired but content smile. Sitting next to them, you decided to draw all of your friends. Some time later, you're done!
"Hey Frisk, what're you got there?" Undyne leans over and gives a toothy grin. "This is so good Frisk! Look Alphy!"
"Hm? Wow, Frisk your so talented." She gives a nod of approval. Seeing them give you so much encouragement on your drawing, fills you with DETERMINATION.
"Uh-Oh… I've seen that look before… Hey Frisk, guess who's gonna get eaten up by this monster…?" Undone looks at you, with almost as much DETERMINATION in her eyes as you.
"Undyne…" Alphas gives a cautious tone.
"ME! NYAAAAGGGGGHHHH!" You squeal cheerfully as Undyne chases you around the house, various objects being knocked off, landing on the floor as Undyne roars furiously and Alphys sighs.
Finally, it was bed-time.
Alphys and Undyne both say goodnight and thanked you for being good and having fun. The door is clicked closed. You snuggle into your pillow, reflecting on the day; Playing with Papyrus, having Butterscotch and cinnamon pie with everyone, then playing with Undyne and Alphys. It couldn't have been better, really. You think about Toriel and how you want to have her kiss you goodnight but you won't moan! You were determined to be a good child for her. As you felt determination, you fell into a deep sleep.
It seems you're dreaming, but as it was pitch black, you couldn't see anything. You start to feel uncomfortable… As if the darkness was sucking you in.
"It's you."
A voice you don't recognise? You feel your stomach clench. You are okay. You are fine…
"Turn around"
You contemplate this. Who are they? It isn't THEM, is it…? No… This is a dream. Yes! A dream! You turn around, ready for anything, but nothing could prepare you for this.
"I despise you so much. I bet the others do too. Why? Why? Why? She just left me… She didn't protect me? You have so many friends and I am just a fragment of something that once was living!"
You're… Engaged in a battle!? In a dream!?
You check on this ominous being. Who is this? You look closely and notice within the darkness is a silhouette. You feel petrified, but determined.
"I've been watching you for so long… Just because that wretched Goat felt guilty…"
The… Person? Keeps talking, especially about Toriel. Do they know her?
You chose to act, you ask who they are.
"Me? Well… I'm just a child…" You hear them trudge froward to you, every step making each hair stand. "Monsters know me as the 'First Child' even though there was someone before me…" Continuing their steps, you see some sort of shiny sharp object reflecting a light blue light. "Mama knew me as… little doll… Just call me Dolly?"
You see another light blue object on the figure head… Is it… Ribbon?
"I have always been such a patient person… So I'm going to reallllly make you regret being able to have your 'Happy Ending'!"
You could finally see the figure, realisation struck. It's the first fallen child. A little girl with the same dead look as Chara had. You didn't know how to wake up, but you needed answers.
Before you think of a solution, Dolly begins her attack.
" I had fallen! Just like everyone else… So why did I…?"
Dolly used her long strands of hair to throw cyan knives at you. You dodge with great accuracy. You feel like you're going to be okay. You act, asking why she was doing this.
"Just shut-up!" Her anger made her eye sockets drip more of the black ooze onto her lacey dress, causing her to grimace. "How could you know how it feels?"
She attacks again, now having a slow paced attack with their knives… One of the knives hit you and you wince… But… It didn't hurt? The knives were toy-like.
You ask why she had toy knives.
" My Mama never let me have any scissors nor real knives… So one time, she bought me a little culinary set that had this toy-knife that matched hers! It was pretty… She thought I was strange for liking this type of stuff, but still bought it!"
She had seemed to calm down, you act once again, saying what did she like to do back then?
"Lots of things… But I can't remember… I am very sorry for… This. I need to leave…"
You tug on her arm, telling her to wait. She looks at you confused but you smile slightly. You ask if there is anything you could do to help her, as you feel this scene was familiar. With a sigh, she looks at you with her soulless eyes and a dribbling mouth.
"Read Toriel's diary. There is more to it than it may seem… That book isn't just a normal journal. I don't know what it is and how that Goat got it, however… Thank you. And please… Be careful, you may have a strong soul but that doesn't change the fact you are a kid. You have an soul that shouldn't have to experience large amounts of pain. Don't break Frisk. Read Toriel's diary."
She walks away and you see a faint cyan-coloured heart in the distance, fade as the darkness became blinding white.
You were awake.
