Bad News
I woke up with the biggest crink in my neck. I sat up to see yellow flowers spread across the ground. I looked around and saw the cave walls sprawled before me and the only light among the darkness was from the setting sun from thehole I fell down into a long time ago. I looked down and to my relief Chara was lying next to me. Her sleeping face was so cute that I couldn't help but stare lovingly. Before I knew it her eyes fluttered open and her big red eyes greeted me.
She smiled at me. "Hey big sis," she sat up, her green and yellow striped sweater covered in flowers, "that was a great nap."
I nodded and used my sign language to say, "I agree and I am glad that you joined me." I had to teach everyone to know what I was saying. Papyrus was especially difficult to teach. "So, are you ready to head back home?" When she nodded we stood up and started our way back through the ruins.
I know these ruins like the back of my hand now. After the many resets I had made, I had to walk through them every time we walked back together. It was a mix of nostalgia and getting-old-quick feeling as we made our way through the many rooms. All of the puzzles that we had to go through the first time were disabled and we quickly made our way through and we were soon greeted with our home. We were happily greeted by Toriel, our anthropomorphic, long eared, goat "Mom", standing at the doorway with a warm smile on her face.
"Hi mom," I greeted.
"Mom," Chara greeted with glee as she ran up to her and jumped on her with a hug. Toriel nearly fell over but quickly recovered.
"Hello my child," she answered softly and warmly. She looked up at me. "Did the monsters give you any trouble Frisk?"
"Not at all. They were quite docile today." We headed inside. It was really warm compared to the cold ruins and was always a welcome change. As we got in, my heart skipped a beat when I saw Sans leaning on the railing. I always had a thing for Sans, but could never work up the courage to tell him.
He smiled his usual cheesy smile, "Welcome back girls. Anything new in the ruins?" Chara looked away from him and with a huff she walked away. Sans sighed.
"Oh my I am sorry Sans," Toriel apologized. "She must still be getting used to you." She hurriedly followed after Chara. Now it is just me and him.
I didn't know what to say to him and was getting nervous. I felt my face getting very hot and I was fidgeting around nervously. I think Sans saw that and spoke up.
"Hey, you ok?" He looked worried.
I nodded. "Yeah, I am ok?" I breathed deeply and exhaled to calm myself down.
"Hey it's good thing I know sign language though." He said. I looked at him confused. "It is pretty "handy" I must say." We both chuckled and that made everything much better. He knew exactly what to say and that is one of many reasons why I like him so much.
"So what are you doing here Sans?"
"Well-"
"In breaking news," Mettaton's voice blared from the TV in the living area, "there has been yet another monster killed this evening. The witness said they saw a figure standing over the dust that was left over. Oh my what a chilling find. All monsters are being warned to be careful when they leave at night…." We fell silent.
There has been a string of murders around the Underground. It was scary to think that someone was doing this and another monster at that. The most believable story is that a monster finally snapped and has been going crazy. It sent chills up my spine just thinking about it.
"Yeah, that is what I came to you talk about. I know you like walking around whenever, but please be careful. I am doing my best to try and solve this so that everyone is protected." He looked down as he said this. I could tell this was weighing heavily on him and It was starting to show. I knelt down and hugged him. We were like this for a second then I pulled him back and smiled at him. "Heh, thanks kid. I needed that."
"Hey you two," Toriel called out from the other room, "are you coming to eat or not?"
"Well, she really has our goat. C'mon, let's not keep her waiting." Sans said.
