The tall grass tickled my face as I walked through. It made me shiver.
Finally I made it to my small grass bed. I sighed and flopped on top of it. It was kind of nice for a grass bed. I'd made it a few days ago in the hopes of hiding out from Undyne.
It had worked so far but she spotted me on the way back from Gerson's. I had the unfortunate luck of slipping on a puddle and getting nicked by one of her spears.
So now I had to use what I'd just bought from Gerson! I took a sip of some Sea Tea and frowned at the blood on my arm.
A chill ran through me as I pulled off my sweater.
"Gah!" The gash in my arm was much deeper than I thought. The tea had helped the pain but it looked like it was still bleeding. Looking around I realized that grass was not a bandage option.
Well there was no way I could rip my own jeans and the sweater was just out of the question. I shrugged it back on and fell back onto my bed.
I stared at the twinkling rocks in the ceiling for a moment.
I would have to stay here a bit longer to save up more items. It didn't really bother me much. It was rather pretty here; if a bit chilly.
I turned to lay on my good arm and stared at the tall grass. Occasionally the tips of it would sway from a mysterious wind.
After some point I fell asleep.
The wetness in the air made my dreams cold. I patted along a row of Echo Flowers but they didn't say anything. Finally I came to the last one. I knelt down to hear it.
Pfffft!
I blinked in surprise before doubling over in laughter.
Uh huh huh! Uh huh huh!
I gasped as another flower began to laugh with me. That sounded like-
Steeven!
I clapped my hands at the flowers as I laughed harder. How did they know about Steven?
It was impossible. These flowers had never heard a TV before.
"Oh right…" I knelt down to caress a petal. "You've never seen the surface."
"And they never will." I spun to see her.
Noooooooooo!
She pulled up a flower ever so slowly. Her hair hung over her eyes but her smile never wavered.
Nooooooooo!
Nooooo!
Nooooooo!
A chorus of flowers sounded and my hands flew to my ears. She stopped them one by one. Pulling at the stems or slicing them with her knife. Her red eyes glowed underneath her bangs.
"S-stop it!"
"Ahahahaha…" Her laughter sent chills up my spine and I watched in horror as she went down the line of Echo Flowers.
I ran towards her trying to pull her hands away from them but she swiped at my fingers and I jumped back.
"Please don't!" Tears flew from my eyes as the echo of the flowers began to die.
Wait… What are you doing?
My head turned to the last flower. It wasn't blue. It was yellow. It's pleading face had tears in it's eyes.
I-I'm on your side remember?
I ran towards Flowey just as Chara did. Her knife was ready, pointing straight for him.
So I threw my body onto Flowey.
I gasped as I sprung up. My chest hurt. I felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest.
"Human! Are-" I screamed at the sudden yell and clutched onto my body waiting for some sort of attack.
"Hey, kid…" I jumped at the tender touch to my shoulder but the soft voice made me open my eyes.
I blinked up at the distraught face of Papyrus. Confused I looked around the room and realized Sans was at my side. I shied away from his touch by instinct but my heart began to calm. I was in their home. A blanket pooled over my knees and I noticed I was on the couch.
"I-I…" I turned back to Papyrus who was still quiet. "Sorry… I just… I had a bad dream." I tried to chuckle but my body was still shaking.
Sans slowly rubbed a circle on my back and I let out a shaky breath. It was just a dream.
"You should eat something. It might make you feel better." I nodded and tried to smile at Papyrus.
"Right! I'll make you some special spaghetti human!" Papyrus quickly regained his spirits and went straight to the kitchen.
"Thank you!" I yelled back trying to get the shake from my voice.
I let out another slow breath as Sans patted my head.
"I patched up your arm. For a minute I thought…" I placed a hand to my head as well.
His cool touch calmed me even more.
"Thanks…"
