Chapter three: a short stay

After we left the old city and entered toriel's home, she had made cooked for me and showed me my room for the night, the house was warm and cozy with its wooded floor, the smells of pie and the how it seemed to brighten everything. I could stay here forever.

But deep down I knew that I can not stay here, no matter how nice it would be. I had to leave, not because of the killer flower that said he will be watching me or the fact that we are going to be the only ones here, no I was like something was calling for me, something that I couldn't put my finger on.

So after I eat and went to the bedroom, I had to figure out how to leave, there was a set of stairs that I saw early, maybe the backdoor? i didn't know but I had to try.

[ toriel's home ]

Frisk had everything packed and ready to go, now all she needed was for toriel to go to bed so she could sneak out, she waited by her bedroom door, looking thought the key hole watching, waiting.

The human didn't have to wait long as she heard light footsteps heading her way, frisk quickly jumped into the bed pulling the covers over her and closed her eyes.

The door had opened and light spilled in as toriel walked in and up to the fake sleeping frisk, she felt her hair being brushed aside and warm lips pressed against her forehead.

Toriel kissed the human forehead, " goodnight, my child."

Frisk heard the door close and darkness filled the room, except from under the door. the human laid ,motionless waiting for a few more minutes hopeing the light will turn off.

In what felt like hours the light had finally turned off, putting the room in total blackness, that's when frisk made her move. She quietly got out of bed and went for her cloak and making sure her dagger was around her waist, feeling the metal handle of the blade and placed her hand on the door knob.

Opening the door ever so gently and peering out into the blackness, she waited for her eyes to adjust before leaving the room, frisk kept one hand on the wall feeling around for the stair case and hoping not to bear her neck if she did find it.

The she felt the railing and slowly walked down the steps, one foot in front of the other, carefully going down and once she felt the stairs and ceased to be she walked normally, her hand still on the wall.

She felt the surface of a stone wall as she went, it felt like she was walking in the abyss, and she felt her hair stand on end for it was getting colder as she went down the hallway.

Going around the corner she could see a distance light on down, frisk speed up her movement as she walked toward the glowing light, but as she reached around the corner she could a see someone standing there back was turned towards her, but there was no mistaken the shape if the figure.

It was toriel.

Without turning around she spoke, " frisk don't come any closer, please," she said.

Frisk didn't say anything as she walked towards toriel, then she spotted a stone door.

"why? because that's the way out," frisk said.

"yes, and it is also towards your death," toriel responded.

That made frisk stop, to her death? What did she mean by that, then the thought of the flower came back to her.

"what do you mean to my death?" frisk asked anyway.

Toriel didn't say anything for a moment, " beyond this door you'll be hunted down and killed," she said still not turning around, " they will not show you any mercy when doing so."

Frisk didn't say anything.

" even if you managed to sneak by the guards and spellcasters, he will slay you…like he did to the others." She continued.

That caught her attention.

" there's been other deaths?" she asked.

Toriel nodded, " yes, six others had fallen down and six others had met there doom, so I will destroy the door so you and many other want share the same fate."

" no you can't!" frisk shouted.

Toriel stopped, "no? frisk, my child did I not state clearly what would happen if left."

The human took a step closer, "yes, and I can handle myself."

"ha, with that dagger? Against heavily armed and armored monsters, don't be foolish." She laughed.

"how did you know about my dagger?" she asked her.

" I have lived for a long time, don't think you can hide any weapon from my eyes, now go back up stairs and I'll-"

Frisk had interrupted her, " no, toriel am sorry I can't let you do this, no matter how bad it is."

" fine you naïve human, than prove herself that you can defend yourself," toriel said, ready to fight.
