After she heard what Toriel had said to her, Frisk became confused and asked what she meant by the two of them becoming a family and Toriel told the girl that she would be living with her.
"But, I can't stay down here, I have to get back to the surface" Frisk replied "my parents will be worried about me and I need to get back because I need my medication for my condition. How can I keep my seizures under control if I'm not taking any medication?"
"Don't worry my child, I can use my magic to help keep them under control" Toriel replied "I can't let you leave, it's just too dangerous outside the ruins and that is the only way to leave the underground, if you leave the ruins, there is no other way out."
"How do you get out of the ruins?" Frisk questioned, determined not to give up, she needed to go home, she wanted to go home, what if Toriel's magic couldn't help keep her Epilepsy under control, without medication, it could become a lot worse than it is.
"Erm, I have to go and do something" Toriel replied, a sudden shift in her eyes "why don't you go and explore the house, you can go play in the yard if you wish." before Frisk could ask what she was doing, she got up from the chair and quickly left the room, leaving Frisk to her own devices so the girl decided to wonder round the house and saw something on on top of the book shelve. Curious, Frisk reached up and took whatever was on the top of the bookcase and saw that it was a photo and on it was Toriel but there was two other goat like people just like her, one being tall and muscular dressed in what appeared to be robes, the other one was obviously a child, a young boy to be exact dressed in a green and yellow striped shirt but what really caught her attention was the human child that was standing with them, it appeared to be a girl who looked to be round about the same age as Frisk and she was dressed in similar clothing to the goat like child.
"She had a family?" she whispered before she heard a mumbling coming from somewhere so she put the photo back in it's original place before going to investigate where it was coming from and it sounded like it was coming from the bottom of the staircase in the hallway that seemed to lead to the basement.
"I can't do it" Frisk could hear what sounded like Toriel saying "I can't lose another one." Tilting her head curiously, Frisk slowly made her way down the staircase and found herself in a long dark corridor, Toriel was just ahead of her with her back to the girl.
"It's too dangerous for her out there, she's just a little girl" Toriel continued to say to herself as Frisk slowly walked towards her but Toriel seemed to sense that she was behind her because she quickly turned around "my child, what are you doing down here?"
"I thought I heard you down here" Frisk replied "what are you a doing?" Taking a deep breath, Toriel turned around as Frisk went to move towards her but the girl began to feel unsteady on her feet and fell to the floor.
"At the end of this corridor is a one way exit to the rest of the underground" Toriel explained as Frisk pulled herself to her feet "I am going to destroy it, now be a good child and go back upstairs."
"No" Frisk replied and Toriel turned round to see the small girl standing with her fists clenched and a look of determination on her face "I want to go home, I want my mommy and daddy."
"I know you do little one" Toriel replied in a motherly tone as she knelt down to Frisk's level "but it's dangerous beyond the ruins, they'll be monsters out there who will want to kill you, not many monsters like humans and if they see a human in the underground then they might go after you and what if you have a Seizure whilst your out there, it's too dangerous, now go back upstairs." She then stood up and walked further down the corridor but Frisk did not go back upstairs, instead she followed Toriel down the corridor until she came a huge doorway.
"Why are you making this so difficult my child?" she asked not looking at the little human girl standing behind her but somehow seemed to know that she was there "all I am doing is trying to protect you. "
"I know you mean well" Frisk replied, almost on the verge of tears "but I can't stay here, I have to go home, I want to go home, I want my Mommy, I want my Daddy."
"You are just like all the other children that fell down here" Toriel said as she turned to face Frisk "they all left me and they all died, my child, if you leave then you'll most likely be killed also."
"I don't care, I don't care if it's too dangerous out there, I just want to go back home, back to the surface" the little girl who was now in tears replied "I need to go back home because I've got to have my medication or my Epilepsy could get worse if i don't have it, please, let me go."
"Very well then" Toriel replied as she summoned small balls of flames from her hands "if you're so desperate to leave, then prove to me that you are strong enough to survive." Frisk watched in shock as she hurled little balls of flames at her but the girl managed to jump out of the way whilst she continued to ask Toriel to let her leave.
"Why are you doing this child?" she asked as the girl continued to dodge her attacks "attack me or run away."
"I don't want to hurt you" Frisk replied as she continued to dodge the attacks "please, stop this, please." After what seemed like an eternity, the fire attacks became less and less extreme as Frisk continued to dodge them all and refused to fight.
"Now listen my child, I know you want to go home but I promise that I will take very good care of you" Toriel said as the attacks came to a stop "and I could use my magic to help keep your Epilepsy under control."
"But what if it doesn't work?" Frisk asked, brushing tears away from her eyes "I mean, I'm really grateful for everything you've done but I want to go home." The child then broke down into a full on sob and Toriel wasted no time in kneeling to the girl's level and pulling her into a comforting hug.
"I understand my child" she replied as the girl buried her face on her shoulder, weeping "it wouldn't be right you growing up here and you're right, my magic may not work to help keep your condition under control, If you really wish to go home then I will not stop you, but you must understand this, I won't be able to accompany you." After pulling herself together, Frisk slowly pulled herself away from Toriel and looked at her with her eyes red and face streaked with tears.
"I wish you could" she replied quietly "you could be my temporary mommy until I go back home."
"Well that's sweet of you dear but I haven't left the ruins for a very long time" she replied as she wiped the tears away from the child's face "and I don't think I ever will."
"So, is this goodbye?" Frisk asked.
"I'm afraid it is because once you leave here, you cannot come back, I hope you understand" Toriel explained and Frisk nodded silently as she stood up and headed back down the corridor, leaving Frisk at the entrance.
"Goodbye, my child" she said "and please, do be careful." Remembering the photo she had found earlier, Frisk was curious to know who the other people in the photo were but Toriel had already gone before she got the chance to ask her.
"Bye, Goat mama" the little girl whispered sadly before she made her way through the exit and out of the ruins but before she reached the second exit, something tripped her up and the girl fell to the floor.
"Ow" she squealed as she heard an amused chuckle coming from in front of her her and she looked up to come face to face with the very first creature she had encountered when she fell down into the underground.
"Golly, aren't you something?" Flowey asked with an amused expression as Frisk pulled herself to her feet "you think you're so smart don't you, well, obviously not that smart, don't you remember what I said before, in this world, it's kill or be killed and you spared the life of one single person, I bet you feel really great and..." he noticed that Frisk didn't seem to paying any attention to him, she wasn't even looking at him, it looked as though she was staring straight ahead and she was blinking rapidly "hey, I'm talking to you girly." Frisk remained in a trance like state for a few minutes before snapping back to reality and noticed the annoyed and confused look that Flowey was giving her.
"What do you want?" she asked, not seeming to remember what had just happened "and why are you looking at me like that?"
"Well you kind of zoned out when I was taunting you" Flowey replied and Frisk began to realize that she could have had one of her absences, they were another kind of Seizure she sometimes had and that too was part of her condition "well now that you've finally snapped back to reality I can finish what I was going to say." With a suspicious feeling, Frisk knew that whatever Flowey was about to tell her wouldn't be good, the girl attempted to make a run for the exit but a serious of vines grabbed the girl before lifting her in the air.
"What are you doing?" she asked "put me down."
"I don't think so you little pip squeak" Flowey taunted as he swung the girl from side to side as she desperately tried to escape from the vines "not until you've heard what I've got to say and i'm sure you'll be very interested indeed."
