Hey, I'm back after a very, very short period of time. I just wanted to thank everyone that's followed and reviewed my fic. I was literally jumping on my bed when I got my first notification. These small acts mean the world to me, so keep em' coming! I just got a random burst of inspiration, so I decided to write another chapter tonight, so I hope you enjoy!
You jiggled the door knob. Nothing. There was no escape. You could hear the creak of the stairs and the click of claws on wood. You frantically banged on the door.
"Child~", Toriel called, "Come out, come out wherever you are!", she called in a singsong. She was taking her time walking down the stairs and the hallway. She knew that you were trapped and was making sure that you knew too. You cursed under your breath. You tried picking the lock with a hairpin, nothing.
"Now is not the time for games, child. Now is the time for dinner!"
You tried slamming into the door with your shoulder. Again, and again. It didn't budge.
"I've just had a wonderful idea!"
You cried out in distress, and tired picking the lock again.
"I'll seal the door, so no other naughty children will try to leave ever again."
You picked up a rock and began to slam it into the doorknob.
"Really, I'd be doing them a kindness."
It made a small dent in the metal. You were filled with determination, and slammed the rock onto it again.
"Better to be kille- er- taken in by me than to die by those horrible creatures out there.
Another dent. You didn't give up.
"They would torture you. Make you suffer. I could make it quick, so please come back."
The wood around the knob began to splinter.
"Ah! There you are my child!"
You whirled around. Toriel had discarded her knife, and instead, both of her hands held bright balls of fire magic. They illuminated the small hallway, there really was no escape. You were going to die and have to reset again.
"Now, you were a bad child. It's time for punishment."
A fireball was hurled straight at your face, but you ducked just in time. It instead, hit the door behind you. The door. The wooden door. Suddenly, you had an idea.
"Hey mom, why's there blood on your hands? I thought monsters turned to dust when they died?"
"Heh. I never really could was the blood off of my hands. I washed them and washed them. I guess it's my punishment for slaughtering that little girl that came down here years ago."
You dodged another string of fireballs.
"I can still hear her. In my head. She talks to me sometimes."
They hit the door behind you.
"I would like you to join her. Then you couldn't leave and we could talk forever."
The door was quickly cracking. The knob was melting off onto the stone floor.
"I am just so lonely here, child. Everyone who falls here leaves and dies, and then I can't hear their voice anymore."
The door was no longer on fire, Toriel was slumped on the floor crying. Now was your chance. You slammed all of your weight on the now weakened door. It crumbled under your weight and you ran out into the cold.
You didn't stop running until you were almost to the bridge, and you were stopped by a voice.
"H-howdy again!"
Flowey.
You nodded.
" U-um.. are you okay?", he asked you, almost nervously, as if you were going to lash out at him.
You nodded.
"I-I wanted to ask... can I come with you? I was powerless to do anything to help you back there, so if I come with you, I'm sure that I can find a way to help.", his eyes were filled with determination.
"Sure.",you replied. " But how?"
"I'll wrap myself around your arm."
"You sure?", you didn't want him to die.
"Mmhmm!"
You gently dug him out of the cold ground, and he entwined himself around your upper arm.
"Let's get going!"
You nodded, smiling softly at Flowey's enthusiasm.
The two of you walked until you reached the bridge and another familiar voice stopped you in your tracks."
"hey."
Sans.
"that any way to greet a new pal?"
Flowey tightened his grip around your arm.
" turn around and shake my hand."
You spun around only to find yourself face to face with an extremely sharp bone, hovering mere inches away from your left eye. You couldn't move without having your eye stabbed out, so you stayed as still as possible.
"not movin', eh? pretty sharp of ya."
You would have laughed if you weren't about to go blind.
He frowned at your lack of a reaction, and lowered his weapon.
" anyways, my brother's up ahead. he'll probably kill you. he's always wanted to meet a human."
Papyrus? He would never hurt a fly, well not unless the fly had insulted his spaghetti making skills.
" well, you two have fun.", he said with a nonchalant wave, as he seemingly disappeared.
A shortcut.
"H-how did we just live from that!?", Flowey was trembling like a leaf.
You shrugged. Sans must have remembered you from a different timeline. Not likely. He nearly killed you.
" H-he is considered one of the strongest monsters in the entire underground! H-he could have killed us easily!"
" One of the strongest?"
"Like I said, It's kill or be killed down here, and he has more dust on his hands than anybody."
You shuddered, not just from the cold, but because of pure fear. Fear of what your friends have become. Fear of what you will have to face. You were terrified.
So there's another chapter! Not much happened in it, honestly, but be prepared for more action in the next one. Also, where oh where could Chara have gone? Maybe we'll find out next time! Don't forget to review this and PM me if you feel like it. I hope you enjoyed, until next time, byeee!
