Despite freeing everyone from the Underground, Frisk felt a discomfort rising in them. They didn't want to go home. Frisk tugged their sleeves down before crossing their arms tightly and getting a look of discomfort evident on their face. They were walking home, it hurt to tell Toriel they couldn't say with her, but they couldn't stay when their own parents would possibly be looking for them. The leaves and twigs crunched under their feet as they walked. Their home was just on the edge of town, it was at most a two day walk. Frisk told the others to not follow, Undyne seemed persistent, but Toriel straightened her out. Frisk was just barely out of the forest, the moon was out, now would be the best time to lay down for a quick rest. Sitting down, Frisk looked at the sky with a blank face.

Their arms itched again, with memories of those long nails, may have well have been claws, scratching heavily at their skin. Frisk gave it a light rub, looking uncomfortable now. They really did want to stay with their new Family, but they couldn't put them at risk of their parents. Frisk closed their eyes now, to try and push the thoughts away.

*Crunch*

The sound alerted Frisk who shot up, looking around wildly. Something was near by, and they felt their determination to avoid it burn through them. Frisk grabbed a stick, looking around wildly. They heard or saw nothing more than the crunching. Frisk put the stick away, sighing now. They decided to continue on their way home.


Toriel and Asgore advised against it, but Alphys was too worried for Frisk. She took notice of how Frisk was acting, not that the others didn't, but they didn't see the scars. The way Frisk seemed to hold onto their arms alerted her of something. So she followed after Frisk, she was the least likely out of all of them to be suspected. She had to keep more quiet when she nearly alerted the child of her presence the night before.

"Come on Al... You can do this, just gotta be more quiet" she muttered softly to herself. She peaked out from behind a tree, seeing Frisk standing in front of a house. Alphys noticed cracked windows and rattling pieces of the house that were broken. She saw Frisk lift up a shaking hand, knocking on the door. Alphys felt her body shake, worried to see what would show from behind the door. The door swung open, slamming loudly, Alphys saw a thin woman who looked like she had seen far better days, looking down at Frisk, cigarette in their mouth. Alphys couldn't make out what was said, but the woman sounded pissed. She heard Frisk refer to the woman as "Mom", which made her feel sick to her stomach as she continued to watch the interactions. Her body jumped when the woman spat the cigarette right into Frisk's face.

"Who does that... To... To their own child?" she asked in horror, watching the woman drag Frisk into the house and slam the door shut. The pit of her stomach tingled with troubled thoughts and paranoia. Gulping, Alphys grabbed her phone, she needed to tell someone, but she stopped. Would Frisk want them to worry? Would Frisk be upset with her? She stared at the phone, hesitant to even consider texting now. Taking a deep breath, Alphys treaded out to the house, trembling with each step.

"You not realize just how much trouble you could have put me in!?" the shrill, haughty voice that had to be Frisk's mother screamed in rage. Alphys stopped, taking a breath, scared of the reaction Frisk's mom had on them.

"The police wouldn't stop fuckin' questioning me! You're gonna be damn lucky if you even get to go into the backyard after this stunt you pulled!" that already terrified Alphys, but the sound of skin colliding with skin and a loud cry of pain made her body freeze. Hurrying to the closest window, Alphys looked in, not wanting to believe this woman could have just hurt Frisk.

Frisk was laying on the ground, holding their face, shivering now, looking at the ground. Their mother stood ominously over Frisk, clenching a fist. Eyes wide, Alphys slid down, holding herself, terrified of what was transpiring. She wanted to throw up, the feeling of disgust and worthlessness running through her.

"I...I don't... I don't want to be here anymore..." it was a weak plea, was... was that Frisk? Alphys jerked in response to the voice.

"What do you mean "you don't want to be here anymore"? You DARE tell ME that you're not grateful for what I do for you!?"

"I can't imagine why" Alphys managed to wheeze out. Her head was heating up, along with her body, she was not used to this feeling.

"You...You don't treat me like how a mama should... I want... I want"

"What? What do you want you selfish little brat!?" Alphys felt some dark thoughts linger in her mind as she curled tighter into herself, listening to this.

"I want my real family... I... I wanna go back to Toriel... Asgore... Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys" Frisk was in tears, choking out their names in hopes. Alphys could hear Frisk crying louder.

"I don't want to your child anymore! You're not my mom! You're not!" Frisk was breaking down, wails could be heard. Alphys felt like her heart was slowly breaking along with a sense of some comfort that Frisk considered her family. She climbed back to her feet, looking back through the window. She saw the woman looking FURIOUS at her child, as though it was a slap in the face.

"How DARE you!? How dare you say that when I've fed you and put clothes on your back!?" The woman was screeching, harshly grabbing Frisk by the hair and yanking them over to her. The loud cries and screams sounded desperate, terrified even. The window sill Alphys held onto began to crack under how hard she was gripping it, that burning feeling, it felt like fire now coursing through her.

"Get the FUCK into your room you ungrateful and worthless excuse for a child!" if there was a straw and a camel, it's back would be broken now as a loud, monstrous roar and snarl could be heard. The woman saw the door vibrating, until it shot off, electricity surging off it.

"What the fuck!?' she dropped Frisk in pure shock and horror as Alphys snarled at her warningly. Frisk fell, looking up shakily, seeing their friend. They looked shocked, never having seen Alphys angry, let alone look so enraged before. Her glasses had fallen off, and had green electricity sparking dangerously around them, her mouth releasing a strange slime, that seemed to burn holes into the carpet.

"WHAT IS THAT THING!?"

"Your worst nightmare..." her voice was lower than usual, almost like a beastial growl as she seemed to get onto all fours. For as slow as she was, Alphys was terrifyingly fast when she was on all fours, darting straight for Frisk's mother. There was a shriek from her as she tried to run for the door. A Spit of goop hit the handle, seeming to melt it, making it useless to open. Turning to run, two hands slammed against the wall, pinning her to it, and she was face to snout with the furious monster. Their eyes met, the woman felt fear quake her body.

"D-Don't hurt me!" Ironic the plea was, given what happened to get her stuck like this in the first place honestly. Alphys was still glaring at her, before she closed her eyes and pushed off the wall. She didn't even offer any words to the woman, going over and plucking the confused Frisk from the ground and the door she had knocked off the hinges of simply starting to walk out of the house. The woman tried to find her voice, to tell her to stop and return her child. But the look from those surging eyes when she took a breath to speak made her stop.

"Unless you want the "Police" as their called, to find out what you've been doing, I would advise you not tell anyone what you saw, or they will find out what you've been doing" Alphys said before slamming the door she was carrying behind her, leaving the middle age woman to stand there in shock, convinced that Frisk must have had a guardian angel that would have killed her if it so wished.


Here we go! Chapter 2! Sorry if I made Alphys out of character, but I wanted to do a fic where she's the one to find out about Frisk's mistreatment by their parent(s) and I imagined she would actually be terrifying furious.

Eletric Acid Spit though, that sounds like a hellish nightmare if you ask me
