Chapter 4:The opening
"Knock, knock"
The gravely voice echoed through my mind for the enth time.
When I heard it last night it astonished me to the point that words were caught in my throat. I stood and only stood there wanting to know whom occupied the outside of Toriel's home. When I went to touch the door the immediate wrenching back of my body away from the door made me screech and kick. It felt terrifying and so familiar. Being dragged up back upstairs with horrendous strength, the voice responded once again but wasn't coherent because of the echoes emitting from my mouth. When I found out that my capture was Ms. Toriel I felt so afraid. Her eyes were so distant but with some deep sorrow lurking within. She told me to never go back down there, and it was unsafe to leave the Ruins. She avoided any of my questions and insisted that I went to bed and forget what I saw. I was shaking it was all too much, she felt so much like my dad it worried me greatly. I felt my safety here was running short, and the feeling escalated when I heard the 'click' of my door being locked.
Ms. Toriel soon let me come out and sent me on errands. She was very off this morning, she was acting as if nothing happened last night and was very distracted. I started to get antsy and she was barely able to notice it. In conclusion she gave me a list of things to get from within the ruins. Which brings us to this moment, on another black field. Standing a bit away from me stood another Silver Froggit, it looked beautiful within the light emitting from the field. So instead of fighting, which I wasn't capable of doing in the first place since I can't even move; I just talked to the Froggit. Telling how it looked "beautiful" and how "unique" was compared to the normal frogs I've seen. The Froggit seemed more relaxed than before. * The Froggit didn't understand you, but appreciated what you said none the less* voiced in my head…. 'That's new' I thought as the field shrank once more as the fight was over. The lights of reality flickered once again, and the Froggit stood at eye level with me. It's rectangular irises trailing up and down my body. I stiffened feeling as if the Froggit changed its mind on the silent truce we had made. Yet it made no attempt to attack again, i lifted my hand towards the Froggit to see if there was a threat. It stared intently as my hand landed on its head, surprisingly having silky smooth skin. It's head bowed slightly in response and started rubbing in response of the contact. I pet it for a few more moments until it jolted slightly making my whole body jump away. When it found an opening it started to hop away from me with inhuman speed. I was left alone to my thoughts once more, left with more questions than before. But i kept walking not really not caring where i went at this point. I passed other monsters such as a Whimsun who was terribly scared of me even breathing. The little bug like creature was white with a shaggy body, its antennas where thick and bigger than its arms and legs. Even though i tried to make a conversation it broke down and cried. I felt bad for it, but i knew from the expression of the little bug monster that it was bound to be scared of me no matter what i looked when it turned the corner when it flew away it still jumped at the slightest sound. My mind wandered back to the night prior. 'Knock ,knock?' Usually that question was meant for the knock knock jokes, but the voice seemed so tired. It was like velvet really, something i would like to hear again. Plus it was convenient that the voice asked such a question since there was such a huge door between us. I felt myself smirk at the small joke, then it dropped. 'Why won't Ms. Toriel let me leave?' i thought to myself. Obviously the voice belonged to a male, which made me slightly uncomfortable. 'Was he a friend of her's, family, a stranger or even a creeper?' I started to panic, was it really bad behind the door that Ms. Toriel won't let me through it. Other than that man, or monster outside what else lurked in this world? "Well hello." A voice said below me. I looked down to see my foot between two large black eyes with white pupils. I screamed, lifting my foot so quick that i managed to trip over the imaginary rock once more. My head connected with the rock ground with a thud, causing me to instinctively grab the back of my head to relieve the pain. "Oh, are you ok?" The person asked with voices echoing into one, the small feeling of disappointment stung my heart. My eyes shot open by the thought of the feeling. 'Disappointment? Because this person isn't the stranger? What is wrong with me?' i shook out of my thoughts, and began to look at the owner of the voice. I blushed… It was a ghost… And it was so adorable it nearly brought tears to my eyes, even though I already had some tears from my head injury. The ghost well looked… Like a ghost but so small compared to its eyes. Rising from the ghost's transparent bottom small nubs for arms rises up to his small mouth. " Oh dear, I'm sorry." The ghost said with little to no emotion, but somehow still seemed to care. " here, give me a second." Doing what I was told I sat and just watched him. His eyes glossed over making them even bigger, a feeling of guilt punched me in the gut. I didn't want him to feel bad for an accident, I went to speak until the tears start to fall. I felt my heart chip away a bit, until the tears flowed upwards? I must've looked like an idiot from the shock of how the ghost was defying gravity. The tears began to swirl around the ghost's head until they solidified into a oversized top hat. His white little head was swimming within the hat which made him even more enduring. He lifted the hat meekly and looked at me with his large eyes, just the look on the little ghosts face made me smile and for encouragement I began to clap. The smallest of smiles appeared on his lips and made a small bow with his hat bobbing on his head. I stood up and started to dust myself off from any dirt that covered my outfit. " I'm sorry for making you fall." The ghost said with no emotion , his smile wasn't there anymore. I shook my head still keeping my smile. " Nothing to apologize about, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Sorry for stepping on your face." I said rubbing the back of my neck.' When I say it out loud it sounds even worse.' His eyes never faltered from mine as he stated nonchalantly, " I'm used to everyone stepping all over me, it doesn't make a difference from stepping on the floor." He acted like it was known fact and he was completely okay with it, it was sad yet kinda freaky. Maybe no emotion goes with being a ghost, I thought on leaving us in an awkward silence. Then my common courtesy kicked in. " I'm sorry my name is Frisk." I stated as I reached out my hand. " Napstablook." He said as he reached his little nub of and into mine. I took me a while to pronounce his name but he was very patient with me. Even though he had no emotion in his voice he still seemed interested in keeping around me. So he stuck around for my adventure for Cider, and some other food from the spider bakery. Turns out that's Napstablook really knows his way around even through all the puzzles that we ran into that he said was there cause monsters like puzzles. It was a pleasurable idea for the monsters yet exactly how many puzzles did one have to solve to go place to place? 'Hopefully not too many.' I thought as we got done pushing the talking rock. " Hey Napstablook, have you ever been outside the Ruins?" I asked, wanting to gain more information about what lays beyond the door. "Ya." He stated. "'What's it like?" He stared straight ahead. " Bigger." I nearly tripped on the little stalker rock again but caught myself. ' At least it's something.' I sighed but still smiled at him. " Are there other monsters there?" I pressed on. "Yep." " Are they nice?" "Sure" " Would they be alright if a human came?" " I don't know." I sigh in defeat, it was just something I had to find out myself. I didn't notice the long side glance Napstablook gave me, as I kept my head down. We kept on walking until the ground beneath my feet gave out and tumbled down into darkness. I screamed until I made impact with another patch of comfortable flowers. These ones were red now though. I stretched out my body to see if there was any injuries, but there was only the return of the throbbing in my head." You must be patient, you won't find a way out if you rush things." A little voice, almost whispered wishing the space I was in. The hole from above gave me enough lighting for me to see what else was around me. Yet all I could see was some more rocky walls and one lone ribbon on the ground. I looked around a bit more to see where the voice came from but found no one. Until the lone ribbon began to glow. I slowly got up to look at the ribbon it was a light blue and was almost pulsing as if it was alive. I picked it off the ground feeling the soft silk running through my fingers. However the blue glow moved off of the ribbon and into the air in front of me. Looking almost like Napstablook with its translucent form a little girl appeared within the light. She had short straight hair that was cut at her shoulders, and a t-shirt that had a overall skirt on top. She was so young with her large blue fluorescent eyes looking to me. " If you want to leave the Ruins, you have to be willing to wait and not take any action when you are given the chance to leave." The little spirit spoke, I could feel my face scrunch in confusion. " What do you mean do nothing? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of trying to get out?" I asked, and she only smiled and shook her head. 'She's as much help as Napstablook.' I inwardly huffed. " You may have to wait but you do have to leave the Ruins, the Underground needs you. You will have many encounters but in the end it will be worth it. Mama always had a hard time giving us up but it's because she has so much love for us." The girl said finally as she soon vanished into the air, leaving me alone.
"Hey, um wake up. Are you dead? …..If so you're taking forever to become a ghost." I hear the familiar voice of Napstablook, as my eyes slowly open as i wake up. " oh no wonder you took so long." He said with no emotion at all, no worry no nothing. I had to fight from rolling my eyes, I looked at my surroundings once again and found myself in the cave I was in before but there was no ribbon. " I forgot that humans couldn't fly, sorry for not telling you about the holes." I shook off his apology telling him how it was alright. " Are we friends?" I made hault within my mind. Being asked that made me want to jet out of the room. A girl named Rebecca asked me that same question at school. She was my first friend, and my last for the longest time. I looked at Napstablook his eyes stared at me intently waiting for an answer. He's too honest to hurt me like she did. " Ya of course." I said, I couldn't have said anything more true yet I felt so fake and withdrawn when saying it. I really wanted to be friends but… My mind stopped as a small adorable smile came onto Napstablook's face once more, and that's when my worry was washed away. For him at least. " Come on let's get out of here." I say seeing the opening out of the room. Getting up off of the flowers to stand up, I feel something within my hand. I look within it to see a red ribbon within it, it began to light up"My name is Grezelda, we will see eachother again." Grezelda's voice rang within my head. ' She knew what was going to happen, and Im gonna do my best to follow her orders.' The feeling of someone watching me made me turn my head towards Napstablook who was just staring at me. I giggle passed my lips from how adorable he was and followed him through the opening.
Once I neared home Napstablook said he was going to his own home. I called mom to tell her that I was home. Yet there was no answer. I stopped, she's Mom now!? I thought about it for a bit and I soon found myself smiling. 'She is just like her, and this is a new start.' I suggested mentally, liking the idea of having Ms. Toriel at my side. However when I went inside the house there was no one to be seen. I looked within the kitchen setting the Cider and donuts on the counter. "Ms. Toriel?!" I cried out, but there was no answer again. I walked into the living room only to here a huge bang and the floor beneath my feet started to shake. "Ms. Toriel!" I screamed worried for her well being heading towards the source of the explosion. I ran into the hall to find the the stairs. Soon I was tumbling down them from mindlessly running down them. I kept on running even when I landed at the bottom only noticing a little sting in my shoulder. "MS. TORIEL!" I screamed, tears running down my face as I went down the hall. Flashes of my mom went through my head. Seeing her neck twisted almost 360 degrees around from the impact of the steering wheel. The sight of my little brothers car seat against the car door. He just turned a year old a week ago. I was happy I couldn't see his face though but the proof that he was gone was from the twitching of his tiny foot soon going limp. I couldn't let Ms. Toriel go too. I turned the corner seeing lights flashing from the other room. "Ms. Tori-" I was cut off as everything flickered black. Even though we were no longer in the room time didn't stop, and the fireball still hit me knocking me down. " I'm sorry my child, but I'm doing this for your own good." She said monotoned as she sent a few more fireballs at me. I watched as my health bar went down and the roman numerals went to XV~ XX.I hurled my body as hard as I could away from the balls. I gasped, as I found myself floating above the ground afterwards. Yet I stopped my surprise short and looked down at Ms. Toriel. "Please I don't want to hurt you, you've made me the happiest I've ever been in years." I pleaded. She was looking right through me and and released large paws that started at me. Doing what I had before I jerked my body out of the way only to to have fireballs trail behind them and follow me. I couldn't count how many hit me but it hurt so bad. I couldn't help but scream as my flesh began to burn. I landed on the ground without a sound as it felt slightly nice on my ruined skin. "My dear I don't want to hurt you either so please go back up stairs." ' This fear she has it's making her latch onto me.' I remember Grezelda saying "us" a lot. How many kids has been through this with?' With that thought in mind I clenched my fist and started to get up. " I can't go back." I rasped as I started to use my hands and elbows. " Not when I know you are so afraid, and lonely." I continued now getting onto my knees. " I want to give you a better life like you have done for me!" I could hear her gasp. "Why are you doing this ?! Just leave so we can be happy together forever!" She yelled at me, but I could hear the tears within her voice.I slowly got up I onto my feet keeping my balance. " That's just it, I want to be with you forever Mom. So I'm determined to make things right." I said staring straight at her, as my determination spread throughout my body. Unnoticed by myself red Aztec designs began to glow on my body and my shined the same color. I saw her begin to shake and started to blindly throw fireballs at me. "Be patient." I heard Grezelda voice ring. So I stood there waiting for impact. But it never came. I looked to see we were no longer in the field, and the sound of the fireballs hitting the rock walls echoed within the large cave. I started to collapse only to land into the arms of . She knelt down like when i first met her and cradled me within her arms that were shaking. "Im so sorry, im so sorry,im so sorry.." she kept on repeating. I opened up my tired eyes to see that she was crying, i smiled at her and placed my small hand on her cheek. "There's nothing to be sorry about, im just happy you're alright. I was scared that i lost you." i tried to sooth her, but inwardly cringed on how raspy my voice was. More tears fell after i said that and she began to sob. I used the rest of my strength to sit up so i was able to hold her and comfort her. " I want to stay with you forever , but i want to get rid of whats making you so afraid. You did that for me; you saved me and now it's my turn to do the same." I vowed to her as i lightly pet the back of her head. She started to calm down, just a little as she was left sniffling. "Y-you called me Mom." she hiccuped out. Moving to look at her i look right into her puffy eyes. " Its my promise that ill come back."
Soon after gained her composure she gave me the rundown on how the rest of the Underground was like. To be weary of the people i encounter as they might have the need to kill me just like Asgore as she called him. " You know you dont have to do this you can just stay here." She said one last time, yet i think she knew i made up my mind. I smiled and gave her i long huge, which she returned greatfuly. I could feel her shaking again knowing how hard this was for her i let go. I nodded my head for her to leave, " I'll be back home Mom don't worry." she nodded and started to walk back upstairs. I turned and started for the door until i could hear her call out. "I'll have a pie ready for when you return!" I looked back and saw her smiling, which made tears begin to fall down my cheeks. 'I really didnt want to leave anymore but this was for her and Napstablook. If there was a way to make their world better i was determined to make that happen.' I thought as i tied the red ribbon into my hair. I went to open the huge doors to fix my new beginning.
