She smiled as she was given a piggy back ride on her father's shoulders. The giggling wouldn't stop even as her father collapsed on her bed with her in tow. "Well little fluff, it's time for bed!"

She pouted not wanting to go to bed just yet, "No fair! You promished me a shtory papa!" she couldn't pronounce her 's' well yet at that age which made her parents laugh. "Alright, alright... I got one I know you're going to love. Once upon a time, when monsters were taken to their new home, there was one who couldn't go with them. He had missed the trip to go with the others and was left all alone. He was much of a crybaby really and being left all alone made him only sadder and sadder. One day, as he cried alone, a little girl got close to him. "Why are you sad?" The monster looked up to the girl and saw her smiling. He pouted much like a child and said, "My friends are gone, my family's gone... I'm all alone!" and he started to cry again.

The girl, instead of going away sat down beside him and hugged him. The monster was left speechless. This was a human girl you see and humans were the reason why monsters had to move away. Yet, this girl was showing this monster the kindness and love that no other human had shown him before. When she let him go, "Then you need to make new friends. Never forget your old ones though and never forget your family either, for they are always... in your heart""

The man looked down at his daughter and smiled. She always fell asleep with that story.

She woke up surrounded by a quilt all warmed up and a bit sore. She looked around seeing she was in a child's room. As she got up she noticed her clothes were different as she was wearing some sort of green colored sweater. She didn't mind the color much as it reminded her of the grass back in her home.

She looked up at the ceiling with a sad smile, her parent's home would be abandoned she figured. She got up and left through the door. The house she was in wasn't that big but with the smell of something cooking and her stomach finally reminding her that she hadn't eaten in a while, not that she ever ate much anyway, she slowly walked over to the kitchen passing by a mirror and noticing the bandages on her left arm and on her right cheek.

"You're finally awake, my child. I was beginning to think your fall my have been more severe." She simply blinked, right there in front of her was a monster, from one of her father's old tales. She thought the whole monsters living with humans long ago was simply a fairy tale her father had made up to get her to sleep but seeing this one here. It was a bit too much right now for her as he sat on the floor.

"Oh dear! Are you alright?" Well... At least thins one was nice. She got up again and nodded to the monster signing a bit but she stopped looking at her hands and made a noise almost like a sigh.

It seemed the monster understood her because she got out a notebook and a pen for her. "So little one, may I ask your name?" She blinked for a few moments before finally scribbling on her notebook and showing the monster. "Anya? That is a pretty name. I am Toriel keeper of the ruins. Tell me child, what happened to you? I know that some of the monsters here can be a little rough but you looked like you were in more than just roughousing."

Anya smiled sadly and scribbled again telling her what had happened. For some reason she felt like she could trust this monster with everythig she had been holding back since her parents had died. In the end she was crying as the monster held her, "There, there now, sweet one. You're safe now. No one will harm you here."

She had told Toriel most of her story, how she had ended up in the care of her uncle and became his little servant, she didn't remember much of what happened but she had told her something had happened to her uncle because before she fell his men had shot at her. Then after that meeting that flower and it almost killing her. She had been lucky... right?

She hadn't thought about it before but she could have sworn that her little heart shaped SOUL had collapsed under Flowey's onslaught of bullets and yet, here she was alive and talking to Toriel.

"I am glad though that I found you when I did..." Anya nodded at that and started scribbling in her pad again. "Is there a way to get home?" She really wished to go back home even though she knew her uncle was there but, she could not abandon her parent's home. It was the last thing she had from them.

Toriel sighed, "Child... you would rather go back to that man?" Anya nodded sideways, "Then, why?" Anya scribbled again only in one phrase, "Family is home" Toriel stared at her for a moment before sighing, "Very well... There is only one way to get out of the Underground... And that is through Asgore's castle. There is already a human on their way there so... perhaps you'll be fine on your way there."

She grabbed a piece of pie from the fridge and wrapped it up handing it to you as well as a few pieces of monster candyand placed them in a bag handing them to you. "Come with me, my child I will take you to the door out of the Ruins" she said as she led Anya down a hallway and all the way in front of a door.

"If you go through here, you'll reach Snowdin... It's a tiny town but you will surely find many good monsters there. Now," Toriel turned to her and hugged her and Anya couldn't help but hug back, "Listen to me, little one... I know I shouldn't be calling you that but... Humans hand never made it past Asgore... They all leave here and die... I don't wish to see you succumb to them out there... So please... Be careful out there" Toriel let go and walked away.

Anya wanted to cry. She could've stayed here with Toriel forever but, something was telling her to go on, to reach the surface, to search for a truth that she could feel was hidden deep inside this place. She shook her head and ventured on... to the land of snow.

A/N: Did you know that writing when you work a graveyard shift tends to do funny things to you writing? XD

Tried to do it only to end up with gibberish sometimes... Most of the stuff I wrote was an idea for another Undertale fic I might never write... *coughs* Anyways, not much progress on this chapter (blame it on my job) but I decided to go with this scenario. Frisk is already down here but Anya fell down while they are midway of their run, in this case, pacifist run. However, I will change some of the canon as I wanted to actually bring in both Flowey and Chara into this... You'll see so stay tuned... An yes this story already has an end... At least in my head it does ] : )

If you like or dislike please leave a comment those are always appreciated and for the trolls out there... Do you want to have a bad time? *cue in Megalovania*
