Sweetie, wake up! It's time for school!

The familiar sweet voice called out to you, awakening you from your slumber. The room you're in were dimmed but you can still slightly see what surrounded you. You were lying down on a bed that was smaller than you. It had a thick red blanket which covered you with warmth. On the middle of the room was a red square patterned carpet sitting on top of the creaky wooden floor. Sitting up, you realized your knee was all fine. The injury you acquired while trying to escape from them was gone and you were all cleaned. Getting up, you zipped your black jacket and continued to look for any clues to where you were. It looked like a kid's room. There was a lamp in one corner of the room with a drawing of a flower next to it followed by a bookshelf with an empty picture frame on top of it and a cupboard to the right of it. There was another lamp in the other corner, next to the bed. Walking out, you noticed a toy chest that sits in front of the bed. Smiling, you walked out of the dimmed room and in to the long hallway.

The hallway of this stranger's house was interesting. It was yellow with a really long patterned carpet.

Wait…

Stranger?

…

The goat lady!

Running towards the next room passing by the stairs that led to god knows where, you stopped at the entrance of the room. Sitting on a single cosy chair was the goat lady that saved you. She was reading a book that titled ''72 uses of snails'' in front of a fireplace. With a pair of glasses that's perched on top of her snout, she seemed to be much focused and didn't even realized your there. Coughing awkwardly to notice her of your presence, she looked up from her book.

"Oh! Young one, you have awaken! How was your sleep? You were badly injured, so I hope you're all alright now?" she said with a smile as warm as a bonfire in the middle of winter.

"I'm okay now… thank you for taking care of me. But, I'm sorry, I have to leave. I can't stay here." You fidgeted slightly, feeling sad that you have to leave this lovely lady and her abode.

"What? Why? No, my child, please, you can't leave, it's too dangerous" she got up from her hair and walked over to you, placing a warm paw on top of your head.

Remembering the familiar warmth on top of your head, where your mother would place her hand, filled you with the determination to progress.

"I'm sorry, please, I have to… I can't stay here, I don't belong here. Trust me, you wouldn't want to have me here." You lowered you head in shame, tears threatening to come out. The goat lady seemed to notice your change of mood and pulled you into a hug.

"My child, you do belong here. If you didn't, then why have you fallen from the heavens and to me? I am willing to take care and prevent you from being harmed by other monsters out there" she stroked your head softly.

Slightly hugging back, you sniffed and mumbled quietly, "I can't… I don't deserve this and I don't even know who you are..."

She seemed to heard you and tighten the hug, saying "I am Toriel, keeper of the Ruins. And I am here to keep you safe."

I don't deserve her, I should get out of here so I won't cause her any trouble.

So why don't we kill her instead…?

Wha…?

"My child, are you alright? You've been spacing out for a while now" Toriel caught your attention from the unknown voice within you.

"Yeah, I'm fine" short and simple, she doesn't need to know.

Great, now I'm crazy too. I should go before I do something bad to her.

Is bad really bad for us to do?

"What the fuck…" you muttered, looking around to see who, or what, is talking to you.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh, nothing. Listen, Mom—um, I mean Toriel, I have to go, please, I can't stay here" you begged her, taking a step back. Toriel's facial expression lightly changes, dropping her arms to her sides. "Why? Why must you children keep on leaving me? I'm just doing what is good for you. Stay here, child, I will be back" she walked past you, going down the stairs. Turning around and following her close behind, you called out "Toriel, wait! Hold on!"

You were lead to a long dark purple corridor that seemed to be underground. It was neat and had a turn in the middle. In the end of the corridor was a large door with a strange symbol on it. Toriel stood there, looking at the door with a strange expression. "Toriel, please, wait… What are you doing?" you asked, as she lifted up one paw. A fire ball with concentrated heat within in ignited, lightening the whole area.

Is she…?

Yep! Time to get out of here!

The voice was back but you paid no attention to it. "I am going to destroy the door to the outside for the final time. Please go upstairs, this is best for you" she said without turning to you. Toriel's face was painted with pain, not a single child listened to her and they all disappeared. What hurt her even more was that another child just left and all she wanted was to keep them safe. But now another will be gone and she will be filled with regret once again.

All because of the king's law.

"I will keep you safe, child" she said, feeling determined.

Too bad you're not a child, aren't cha?

The voice suddenly chirped in. Whatever it is talking about, it is right. You are not a child and you can keep yourself safe.

"Toriel please, you don't understand me. I have to go, I can't stay here. I don't deserve this" you tried to persuade her.

Toriel stayed quiet for a while before turning around and faced you with a mix of anger and sadness on her face. She then said something that you wish you never wish her to say.

"Then prove to me you can survive what's out there. Fight me"

Once again, you felt the familiar lack of air consumed you. Your dark grey heart once again was before you. This time, it wasn't shaking as much as before. It was hovering with a slight stability. Toriel gasp and putting the fire balls that she was about to throw at you away.

"My child… your heart it's grey. Why?"

"I don't know…" you mumbled, feeling ashamed. Why does everyone keep asking that? That flower from before asked that too. Maybe it was bad? Why does it matter?

There was never any good with you from the beginning anyway.

Your LV! No wonder I can occupy your mind more than the other!

The voice said, a tone of happiness echoed within your head.

Whoever you are, can you just shut the fuck up?!

You shout within yourself, making the stranger's voice giggled before quieting down.

"I can't fight a child that is like this… please go upstairs. I do not want to see you get hurt out there knowing I could've done something." Toriel said to you, worry filled her words.

Looking straight into her eyes, you confessed, "Toriel, I am not a child. I can fight for myself but I won't fight with some who helped me so much and treated me as their own child. You became a mother figure to me in such a short amount of time. I can't stay here, I'll end up causing something bad so please, let me through. I know that you're doing this for my own good and I know you want to keep me safe but I need to go on. So please, trust me when I say I won't get hurt and I'll stay determined fighting for myself for you."

Seeing how determined you are on getting out of Underground, Toriel sighed and looked away. Your heart returned to your body and you felt your body go warm again. Walking up to you, Toriel pulled you into a hug, saying, "My child, I will let you go with a trust that you will not break. I trust that you are capable of taking care of yourself and you will get out of here safely. But please, do not come back. I don't think I can handle another heartache". She let you go and kissed your forehead with a tender smile on her face. Tears slipped from your eyes as she continued past you before you both turned around and faces each other.

"Be good won't you, my child?"

Toriel smiled and rushed off before tears itself can pushes themselves out of her eyes.

You stood on your ground for a moment before walking past the giant purple door with a strange emblem. Going down an extensive corridor.

Why didn't we just kill her! It would've increased your EXP and LV!

Whoever you are, you're crazy and you should be locked in a box.

Oh trust me, I did once.

You rolled your eyes and walked up to another dark area with a patch of grass that was highlighted by…

Sunlight?

Out of nowhere, Flowey popped up, his expression as crazy as ever.

"Interesting… You didn't kill her too. Are all humans this weak now? You're the same as the other one. You should get out while you can or else they might take control over you" Flower said to you with a menacing tone before his face expanded with him giving off a frightening laugh.

He then sunk back underground and disappeared.

Feeling weird, you went on passing through the ancient looking door. You found yourself surrounded by a snowy forest. Walking forward, the doors to the Ruins got smaller and smaller. You heard leaves rustling in the snow, as if someone stepping on them. Scared by who or rather what it can be, you walked faster only to be tripped by a thick branch. Good thing you didn't land on your knee again.

Before you could picked yourself up, you felt a presence before you.

You felt cold sweat crawling down your back.

"Welp, another human. I wonder if the whoopee cushion trick works again"
