Thank you for the positive comments so far, I really enjoyed reading them! Sorry it's been a little while... I have a system where I write the rough draft down into a book, then finalize/correct it as I type it! Thank you for keeping me going! :')
I slowly stirred. My whole body ached and I groaned loudly as I sat up.
I looked down to see what had saved me from death. A bed of golden flowers. Strange.
Well, honestly, I was in a field of flowers. A field that was full of flowers. All of them were obviously yellow, but shaded with blue. My shadow was a very dark blue. I looked towards the sunset-
Geez, I must get used to blue sunsets... I did see this planet was orbiting a blue star.
Anyway, I would guess the field was about five miles in diameter- with me being in the exact center. It was edged with mountains... I suddenly imagined the whole world was mountains except this field...
I heard some rustling and returned to reality to notice a flower in front of me. A flower with a cheery, smiley face. It was golden like all of the other flowers in the field. I suddenly had a disturbing image. What if all of the flowers were faced like this one?!
"You must be new here, eh?" it asked me. By the voice, it was high pitched but obviously male.
I was surprised it could even talk, but that even though I was GALAXIES away from home, so many light years- it could speak fluent English. Either all of what I've discovered is true or I'm going paranoid.
"Ehm... Yeah..?" I stuttered out.
"Well, no need to fear! I'm Flowey! Flowey the flower!"
"Uhm.. hi, I'm F- Frisk.." I stammered.
"Boy, someone's gotta show you how things work, huh?"
I nodded.
"I guess little old me will have to do, huh?" Flowey continued on.
"Yeah.."
"Alright! So.."
A bright red heart stood out in front of my chest.
"That is your SOUL, the very culmination of your being!"
My soul... is a bright red heart, not pitch black like the sky? Hmm, the black soul part must be a myth..
I found myself able to move it just by sitting up. When I did, it moved up a little.
"Your soul starts off weak, but gets stronger the more LV you get! What's LV stand for? Why, LOVE, of course! You want some love, don't you?"
I nodded rapidly. Love is good, isn't it? Cool. I enter a completely different galaxy and already I've got friends!
"I'll share some with you! Love is shared through..." Flowey winked and five spinning tablets spun above his head, "Little white... friendliness pellets!"
I stared at them in awe. How did he make them? Magic? But that didn't matter. Flowey would be a great friend!
"Come on! Catch as many as you can!"
I gladly reached out to touch one as it spun in the air towards me. When we met, my soul flickered, and I was on the ground again, groaning out in pain.
"YOU... IDIOT." Flowey said in a sudden deep voice, and when I looked at his face, it was twisted into something more demonic and evil.
"IN THIS WORLD, IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED."
I sat there, shivering in fear and pain. I couldn't believe it, my first friend had just betrayed me! Is this how I die?
A ring of "friendliness pellets" formed around me.
"DIE," Flowey declared, cackling- and the ring began to close in.
I sobbed and pretended this wasn't happening. As I did so, a warm sensation filled my body and all pain was gone. The pellets were gone now.
Flowey's face turned from freaky to a confused expression. A fireball came into view and Flowey emitted a small "oof!" as he made contact with it and was sent back. I didn't know where he went, but at the same time I didn't really care. I was saved!
"What a cretin, torturing such an innocent youth." said a sweet voice as the source came into view.
She appeared to be a goat woman, tiny horns sprouted from her head. She had no hair, but she was still very pretty. She had long floppy ears, a short muzzle and red eyes. Usually red eyes means evil, but this woman looked so nice. She wore a violet dress with white sleeves, and a design of a winged circle with three triangles underneath.
She held a paw/hand out to me and I took it after a second. She with almost no effort helped me onto my feet.
"Do not fear, my child. I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins. I come here everyday to enjoy the sunset."
I felt much safer with my hand in hers, taking in her sweet tone.
"Come, my child. This way." Toriel replied, letting go and moving forward.
I followed her without other words, up to a violet stone wall, that was quite eroded. I could see that this building- the Ruins, was very old, ancient.
As I followed her up a staircase leading to a doorway I felt very determined to continue following her. So I continued, Toriel seemed not to care that I was so different from her. But that might change-
"So, my child. Who and what are you?"
You don't say, Frisk. I didn't feel uncomfortable, however, I spoke for her. "I'm Frisk, I'm a human."
"A human..? Never heard of them, you should tell me about it sometime. How old are you..?" Toriel responded.
"Fifteen.."
"Perfect, Frisk! Tomorrow I shall enroll you into the high school! Are you alright with this?"
So, she was adopting me and sending me to school? I honestly hate school, but she DID save my life and adopted me. So I nodded.
"Great!" Toriel hugged me.
I practically melted into her warm embrace, hugging my new mom back. The hug reminds me of...
Tears reached my eyes. I shivered trying to get sobs away. They came anyway, and stained Toriel's dress.
"My child, what's wrong?" She asked me, alarmed.
"Nothing.."
"Frisk...?"
"My real family... They're gone.."
Toriel sighed sadly. Then she smiled. "We will find them, okay Frisk dear? For now do not worry."
"It's hard not to when they could be anywhere outside the galaxy!" I cried.
Toriel stiffened. "Out.. of the galaxy?"
"My mother sent me here using magic when the monsters destroyed my homeland... She sacrificed herself to ensure me and my sisters' safety, but we separated outside galaxies.." I explained.
"Oh wow.. I don't.. know what to do.." Toriel replied.
I sighed, accepting that they might be dead by now... Or at least gone. "I know..."
Toriel changed the subject for me before things got too depressing, and I was glad she did. "Anyways, about high school. It might be a culture shock being stuck with a bunch of monsters, but my son Asriel could show you how things work."
"Asriel?" I asked as Toriel led me through a last tunnel until we reached a clearing, where there was ridiculously red leaves with a black tree sticking out. All in front of a house built into the violet wall of the Ruins. Toriel gladly led me inside. I entered a room that was a comfy auburn- brown, there was a large staircase leading down into something, I assumed a basement. In front of that, was a small side table full of books.
Toriel led me to a hallway on the right with a strange yellow color. There were three doors in a row with a mirror at the end of the hall. Toriel stopped me in front of the first door.
"Welcome to your new home, Frisk. Even better, you have your very own room."
"Aww thanks... Mom."
Toriel stiffened for a moment. "Mom?"
Thinking I had done somthing wrong, I immediately apologized. "S- sorry!"
Toriel laughed and patted my head. "Don't be. Mom... It's a nice name. I'd like you to call me that."
I normally hate it when people pat my head, I'm a tiny teen. But knowing she wouldn't understand and that she was being so nice, I accepted this for once. But Toriel stopped when we both smelled smoke and burnt something- it was undescribable and... mouth- watering?
"I- Is something burning? Um, make yourself at home!" Toriel said quickly before rushing to the source- the kitchen.
I opened the door in front of me to see that it was a red in color. This house is strange.
I looked at only a few things. I checked out these cool toys!- which didn't interest me at all. During me and Toriel's walk earlier I was given a cell phone, I forgot to mention. A very old model, it couldn't even text.
After looking at "these cool toys" I hopped into the soft cushion bed, turned out the light, and pulled the covers over.
I tried, again. Lol. Also, a few mentions. Sorry if the characters are a little out of character, but I tried to keep them in character. Flowey and Asriel are separate, Asriel is a sweet boy and Flowey is a soulless flower who stalks Frisk.
Hope you like the story! Review, follow, favorite! I'm out!
...
Oops. Perhaps that wasn't the nicest way to leave. XD.
Bye bye! I will update whenever I can! (That's better.)
