Toriel gave off a soft hum as she poured water gently over the child's head. She learned quickly that the toddler's name was Frisk and that Frisk was a girl. Toriel was sure that Frisk was short for something else, but she didn't feel that it mattered right now. Washing dirt off of the child's body, Toriel noticed that Frisk had some bruises. Now, falling down the bottom of a mountain probably would give one bruises, but these didn't look normal. On her arms and legs there were yellowish bruises, that looked suspiciously like fingerprints. All it took was for a gentle touch of her healing magic for those nasty things to vanish.

"Oh, you poor thing..." Toriel sighed, moving some of Frisk's wet hair out of her face. Frisk gave her a blank stare and Toriel could only give her a warm smile.

"How about we get you out of this tub and dry you off now? Hm?" She asked, Frisk gave her just a tiny smile and lifted her arms up to be lifted, Toriel laughed at this. "Let me get you a towel first."

Grabbing the towel hanging off it's rack, she stood Frisk up and wrapped it around the small child. Carrying the small child back to their room, placing Frisk down, Toriel looked through a nearby drawer for some spare nightclothes. Finding the smallest nightdress, she dressed the child. Even though the dress was the smallest in the drawer, it was still too big for the small child. Hanging off of them like a sack.

"I will have to go shopping for you soon." Toriel chuckled and tucked Frisk into bed. Placing a soft kiss on Frisk's head, Toriel smiled.

"Goodnight...My child..." She whispered sadly. She started to leave the room, but was stopped by Frisk letting out a noise. Turning around, she saw the child reaching for her, tears pricking up in her eyes. Toriel walked back over and tilted her head.

"Yes, is something the matter?" Toriel asked, Frisk responded by scooting over, throwing the blanket back, and patting the space beside her. Toriel smiled at this.

"You wish for me to rest with you? The bed will be crowded." Toriel told her, Frisk didn't let up and kept patting the empty space. Letting out a soft chuckle, Toriel slowly crawled onto the empty space instantly, Frisk crawled under Toriel's massive arm and rested her tiny head on the monster's chest. Making sure the blanket is over both of them, Toriel gave Frisk another kiss on the head.

"Goodnight."

Watching Frisk slowly drift off to sleep, Toriel gave another soft smile. She was originally planning on leaving the bed once she was sure Frisk was fast asleep, unfortunately, she had fallen asleep as well, only for the first time in a while, she fell asleep with a smile on her face as she rested her head on Frisk's.

Toriel woke with a start, a noise sounded through the ruins, groggy and a bit dazed, she rubbed her eyes and listened again, she didn't have to wait long as the noises started again, it was a loud banging. Getting out of the bed, she hurried towards the ruins door and listened, she could hear voices, they were deep, angry voices.

"-Harder dammit! I'm getting that brat back!" One voice bellowed from behind the door, Toriel heard another bang from the door and jumped back. Breathing heavily, Toriel stood there, debating on what to do. Should she allow these men in and give them Frisk? She then narrowed her eyes. Her instinct told her that this man and the others with him weren't exactly nice, and her mind went back to the woman.

She jumped off of the mountain for a reason...

"I said harder!" The man boomed again, Toriel took a step back and quickly rushed towards Frisk's room. Carefully, she lifted the sleeping toddler up, the movement from being lifted caused the child to stir a bit, but once she was against Toriel's chest, she relaxed. Making sure the child's head was covered by the blanket, Toriel hurried down the stairs, she didn't need anything right now. Her only concern was getting this child to safety. Going down the stairs, she heard the sound of the ruins door breaking open and hurried out of her small house.

The first thing to hit her was the cold air, the snow steadily falling from above. She didn't waste anytime, she had to get to Snowdin, get Frisk to safety and try to get a hold of Undyne, or somebody. Walking towards the bridge in a hurry, she stopped when she heard a twig snap behind her. Turning around, she saw nothing. Turning back around, she hurried once more. She could feel somebody staring at her. Narrowing her eyes, she turned quickly ready to attack.

Toriel blinked in surprise when she saw a small skeleton standing there. He had his hands in the pockets of his blue hooded jacket, he was wearing gym shorts and slippers of all things. He looked from side to side.

"Uhh...Knock...Knock?" He whispered, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. Toriel felt her eyes widen.

"It's you!" She breathed out a sigh of relief, rushing to the skeleton, before he could react, she used a free hand to grab the skeleton's own hands, causing him to blush. "I need your help." She admitted, the skeleton gave her a bit of a confused look, quickly she gotten down and removed the blanket from Frisk's head. Showing the skeleton just what she had.

"I see you have a kid." The skeleton chuckled..

"Yes. It's a human. I don't have much time to go into detail-" She paused as the joke sunk in. She gave her own chuckle. She shook her head and gave a stern face.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time for jokes. Humans just broke into the ruins. I believe they are after this child." Toriel quickly explained, hoping that the door to the ruins wouldn't burst open anytime soon.

"Well. Why not just give the human back?" Sans asked, now confused. Why go through the possibility of having human's attack everyone just for one little kid.

"Because. Look, I really don't have time to explain they could come busting through that door any minute. If you can take me somewhere safe, then I'll explain everything. I promise." Toriel breathed out, she looked over towards the door, terrified.

"Alright. Alright. I know a shortcut to my house." He said, and with a sudden jerk, Toriel found herself inside a warm house.

"How..." She whispered, astonished. The skeleton sat down on the couch.

"Why don't you put that human in my brother's bed for now and we'll talk?" The skeleton suggested, pointing towards the first door up the stairs. "I would offer my bed, but...It's a little messy."

Toriel nodded and went up the stairs, opening the door, she gently put Frisk on the racecar bed. Once she was sure Frisk wasn't going to wake, she went back down stairs to the skeleton, who was now drinking a bottle of ketchup. Sitting next to him she sighed out.

"I'm Toriel." She told him, breaking the silence, he almost spit out the kethup.

"Y-You're the queen...Or...the once queen. I knew you looked familiar...Sans is my name."

They shook hands, she gave him a smile.

"Thank you for getting us out of there...I guess I should tell you what happened."
