(Sans perspective)

I caught the human before they fell to the ground. My magic wasn't responding to them this time. Every other time they had come from the ruins they had been young and covered in dust. My blue magic sang for me to judge them yet I waited. I watched everyone die. Turned to dust. Even Paps.

I looked the human over noting their breathing being slightly irregular. Not having dealt with them before except for judgement I was unsure what to do for them. 'Just eliminate them now. Keep them from hurting them again.' I shook my head again. No, they hadn't hurt anyone. They were pure... for now.

I picked them up and looked round before teleporting to my room. I lay them down on the bed efore going to the bathroom and getting a washrag. I wet it in the sink before going back to the room. I lay the rag on the human's head. They seemed to calm some. It relaxed me as well though I couldn't tell why. I also wasn't sure why I brought them here. This was a safe zone to me. I had only once allowed Paps to bring that ting here and after that made sure he knew better. I had to protect him.

I sighed sitting on the bed next to the human. They reminded me of a previous time line. I couldn't remember what one. They had all started to blur together. It always ended up with the human dead by my hand. I could still see them when I closed my eyes. Laying there with blood pooling around them. I felt myself time I was thinking of however was the only time the thing had spoken before. Usually it just walked around silently and killed any that so much as looked at it. That time though it had looked up at me crying. The normally red eyes were now a light brown and filled with tears. They looked so small and he hated himself for what he had done.

'I'm sorry' they had whispered in a small hopeless voice. I had felt my heart sink. I had killed this kid over and over already but for some reason that time felt different. I had gone over to them and sat next to them. They winced away with the little energy they had left in their dying body.

'If you're sorry kid, like truly sorry, don't come back...' even as I had said it though I lifted their small frame and held them. It broke my soul to see a kid hurt. We monsters didn't have kids too often so I hated having to torment them each reset but I also couldn't allow them to keep hurting people. As the memory faded i stroked back the human's hair in the present time line.

"Kid what is different with you this time? Why did you stay in the ruins? Why do you remind me of that frail kid I held as their life slipped away..." I questioned knowing I wouldn't get an answer. I stood and paced as I waited for them to wake up and maybe then I would get the answers I needed.

(Frisk prespective)

I woke up a cold sensation on my forehead. I reached up to take whatever it was off and grabbed the rag. I then looked around to see where I was. It looked like a room except for the tornado of trash. I tried sitting up but felt myself get dizzy.

"Stay still kiddo. You had a bit of a fall there," I heard Sans say from next to me. I looked over to see him sitting next to me on the bed reading. He had taken his jacket off showing he only wore a tank top. He still wore his grin. I felt as though he had been watching me. It somehow made me feel safe. 'Why? You don't know him.' I told myself but still felt my eyes close and my body relax.

I could tell he stood up and heard him sit down the book. He turned back to me looking serious once again. I shivered a little. I could tell he had strong magic. I couldn't tell what color ot was though.

Mother had taught me the colors of magic a little and how to tell. She specialized in white magic. It was like fire for monsters. Green was my best magic. I could heal most wounds with it. Dark green made shields. Yellow made you change forms. purple made it so you could not freely move. That was all I knew of though. This magic felt different. It felt old and raw.

"We need to talk kiddo. What are you here for? Like for real." I looked at him confused. I didn't understand but I could still feel that magic. It was as though he was directing it all at me. I shivered and felt fear crawl over me. The tears started before I could even try and answer. He turned glaring at me but the glare quickly vanished as he saw my face.

"Hey now... Don't cry. What... What Sans does it make to cry over something I said? Don't let me get under your skin. Nothing gets under mine." He smiled nervously. I blinked the tears away realizing he was trying to use the jokes to calm me down. I gave a small smile and slowly sat up. He came back over to me and stood so we were face to face.

"I sense your magic. It scared me. I am not sure what you meant by what I want to do here. I really just wanted to meet new people. I don't mean to be a bother. I can leave if you want," I tried to sound strong but I was nervous. I didn't know anything about the underground outside of the ruins. I didn't know anyone else here. He was the only person I could even come close to calling a friend. I watched his face waiting for a sign. His eyes closed and he turned away from me again.

"Okay. I will believe that. Sorry to scare ya kid. We just don't get many humans around here and I wasn't expecting one to pop out of the old ruins." He explained. His tone was far warmer than moments ago. I felt relaxed again. He wasn't a bad person. I could tell that much. He was strong though. I could tell he was almost a pure magic being. Without thinking about it I reached out for him. For some reason I felt he would be warm. All that magic. Maybe it was the cold from being in the snow earlier that made me do it. I touched the back of his shirt and he flinched away for a second before calming down. He was warm. I smiled closing my eyes. So warm.

"You okay kid?" He asked sounding worried as he moved back next to me. That was a good question. I wanted to just suddenly hold onto him and fall asleep. In fact I felt my eyes closing as the world became dark. I remembered him calling me. 'Kid, kid, kid' his voice kept calling but the last sound was his voice crying out my name.
