The Underground File
Arc 1. Chapter 2.
Sakura walked inside the ruins of the underground behind Toriel.
"Tori. Mind if I ask you a few questions." Sakura asked.
"Sure sweet child." Toriel said.
"Why are you here in the underground? This place looks so, old. Why have you monsters been living in the small-"
"This was the old kingdom." Toriel spoke. Another set of doors opened up and there was a room. Stairs leading down, to the right was two rooms. The left was a living room and what Sakura hoped was a kitchen.
"My husband, Asgore and I raised our son here. Asriel. He was such a sweet and innocent child. Like all those who fell down here. Then we found one other human child. Chara. They were something else. Chara was so sweet. They loved chocolate. But they also loved us." Toriel was shaking.
Sakura wasn't sure why. But something told her that this was going to be painful.
"Then, Chara got sick. And for us monsters, there was nothing we could do. The next day, Asriel came home all bruised and bleeding. He died right in our arms. Saying he returned Chara to where they belonged. We didn't know he absorbed Chara's soul, or heart as you'd call it, into himself when Chara died. And the humans thought he killed them. So they beat him. He found a way through the barrier and came back, in time to die." Toriel spoke with a broken heart.
Sakura nodded. "I'm so sorry. I've lost people too. My mother died when I was young. Then my grandfather died years later. My father was last. He died peacefully. But it still was sad. I came here. To the city above, and I became a detective. This is what you say, my first case." Sakura said.
"How old are you child?" Toriel asked.
"I'm 18. Just finished school. I have been like this...Nancy Drew child. Been one troubling child." Sakura said. "I left everything and everyone behind after my father's death. It's what you call, can't cope." Sakura said.
Well she could now. But she can't face all those, her brother, her friends, how when she left them all behind?
"Sound like me." Toriel said. "After that, Our son, Asgore declared that any child who fell be brought to him. He killed them. After the second one I left him. He was losing himself. I lived here. In the old house. We built a bigger kingdom outside these ruins. I stayed here to try and keep them, the other children from getting killed. But they all kept on going. Frisk was the same. And they were the only one to help make this happen." Toriel said.
Sakura nodded. "I see. Sorry to hear about your children." Sakura said.
Then something else happened.
The ruins were crumbling and coming down. "Quick!" Toriel ran down the stairs. Sakura followed right behind to a final door.
Toriel tried but couldn't open it.
Sakura turned and there was that same dang flower. Flowey. But he looked different. More evil like. Possessed.
With a long laughter he vanished. Sakura wasn't going to die down here. She pulled on her key around her neck.
"What is that?" Toriel asked.
"My magic!" Sakura said.
