Papyrus grabbed Chia by the arm, pulled her up.
He was really tall, both skeletons looked intimidating. Heck, everyone in Underfell did. He had to be seven feet tall, Red was at least 4 feet. Red's head was at Chia's chest area, she was only 5.2 feet after all.
Her throat hurt. She already knew these creatures in this world wanted her dead, but didn't know why. Flowey was trying to warn her, but had to leave before Toriel caught him. The tall skeleton looked at her with his red eyes. Chia was just about to tear up, certain that 'this is how I die, isn't it?'.
Papyrus: Grillby could use some help at the bar. The man works hard.
Red: I'm sure Grillbz will love it.
He said with a almost sarcastic tone in his voice.
Chia: w-wait..you...arent gonna kill m-me?
Both brothers were pretty rude, Papyrus was more hostile than Red, but they actually didn't want to kill anyone. Thier whole life in the underground, they have seen their own race attack and or kill their own. It honestly made the brothers sick, disgusted that their own people did these things to each other. They were raised by it.
Red was 8 years old, Papyrus just 3 when they got banished to the underground. Red was 26 years old, Papyrus 21 now. It had been 17 years. Red did used to go to school with human children before then. Because he got bullied for being a skeleton, he became a bully himself. He'd steal kid's food, make fun of them, didn't do physical attacks. There was one human he was actually nice to. The human was 4. Red didn't remember too much about it, its been so long. The human always carried a ninja turtle doll on her, was never without it, she didn't talk, didn't understand a lot. That was all he could remember from it.
Papyrus dragged Chia to Grillby's, threw the doors open. Red had followed, had to see this.
Papyrus: Grillby! I have brought new help!
All of the monsters in the bar just wanted to leap up from their seats, kill the girl, but just gave her a death glare, snarling. They knew what the skeleton brothers were capable of. They mostly didn't attack because of Papyrus. Him being in the Royal Guard, they'd rather not piss him off.
Grillby: Papyrus, are you fucking serious right now!? Thats a human! Slaughter it!
Chia went pale. Papyrus had her in a arm, by his side, she just hung there in his hold. It honestly kinda hurt since he was just bones.
Papyrus: This human is too pathetic to kill!
Red: yup. First time I've seen a human just wuss like that.
Chia mouthed "rude". Mouthed it because she didn't want the brothers to hear.
Grillby: I don't care! After everything humans had caused us, I will not hire one!
Grillby was made a purple fire, was dressed pretty fancy, had a black tux, red tie, a jacket similar to Red's, but the fluff on the hood white. He was the same height as Papyrus. He looked pissed, had his arms crossed.
Papyrus set chia down
Papyrus: Sans!
Red: yeah, boss?
Papyrus: eye on the human!
Red: sure.
Papyrus went to the bar, quietly speaking to Grillby, noone else could hear them.
Grillby: papyrus, do you realize even if I did hire the human, the king could find out, I could lose my business, you could lose your job, right? Are you fucking crazy?
Papyrus: I got this, Grillby. I always keep my word, unlike my useless brother.
Grillby: *sigh*..but what about the human though..there's many things to worry about. This isnt your wisest plan.
Papyrus: I'm aware..I will make it worth your while.. I will pay off all of Sans' tab.
Grillby: *eye brow up* you're kidding? All of it? Its really high.
Papyrus: I get a good pay. I promise.
Grillby groaned softly, put a hand on his head, thinking it over for a bit.
Grillby: okay...but what about a home for her? What if Asgore is around?
Papyrus; the human will stay in my house. Noone goes inside there. Sans and I don't get visitors. There is a third bedroom in the house. We aren't sure why its there, but we left it alone. She can sleep there.
Grillby: fine.. I will help you try to keep her only known in Snowdin.
Papyrus: excellent.
Papyrus rose up. The whispering ended. Everyone stared at them. Grillby began talking to the monsters in the building. Papyrus went back to chia, Red.
Papyrus: you're hired.
Red: Grillbz actually agreed?..huh..
Papyrus: I promised to pay your debit to him. You're fucking welcome
He grumbled to his shorter brother. Red didn't seem to care too much.
The monsters didn't like the idea of a human working for Grillby. They were angry about it. Chia heard them, held her arms.
She didn't know the tale, didn't know why they hated humans so much.
The brothers went home, Papyrus dragged chia along.
At home, he showed her the empty bedroom, closed the door when she was in. She sat on the bed.
She noticed a picture on the on the nightstand. It was children sans and papyrus, there was a space between them like someone was there, but was erased from the picture. That really confused chia.
She picked it up, thought about asking sans and papyrus, but she didn't want to piss them off accidentally, put the picture down.
She looked at the time. 9:47pm.
She wasn't too hungry, already ate before she fell. She pulled out another random Squeezy Pop, began to lick the candy coming out of the tube.
