Sorry this took so long, life happened and bit me in the ass.

Warning Wolf is a bit sweary in this chapter.

Chapter 4

It felt like we'd been sat here for hours.

Papyrus had woken up and I had to watch his hope fade as he realised that Sans was not back.

"Hay Paps, would you like to hear a story?"I ask

He looked from the door to me and nodded.

"Okay. Did you know I had a brother?"

He shook his skull.

"His name was Elem and he was older than me by ten minuets." I look off into the distance with a smile on my face "I remember when we were eighteen he'd phone me and say, when I was your age, and tell me what he'd done ten minuets ago. He'd make me laugh so hard"

"Okay, so one night when we were about fifteen he persuaded me to sneak out, he wanted to see if we could get into the ruins we lived near.

I was such a goody-two-shoes but I thought why not, I can't be a wuss all my life." I take a deep breath.

"We managed to get out of the house unseen, grab our bikes and head down the road. Elem was laughing so hard by then he was so proud of himself for getting me to go with him." I'm staring off to the other side of the room as I remember

"We get there about half an hour later and it's all locked up. It must have been about eleven by then as we hid our bikes behind some bushes. At that time of night all we had to worry about was the night guard." I fidget to get a bit more comfortable on the cold floor.

"We'd heard the rumours about there being hidden rooms under the manor. Apparently the owners had been pro-monsters or monsters themselves during the human-monster war"

Paps' eye sockets widen, seriously how? He's a fucking skeleton, and he settles down in front of me looking at my face as I talk.

"We never believed the stories, we just thought it was some fairy tale to tell kids. Anyway, Elem talked me into boosting him up the wall and then he pulled me up after him. We lowered ourselves down the other side and ran towards the empty doorway"

"What did it look like?" Paps inquired

I think back, picturing the building in my minds eye "uumm, It was about the size of this room" I reply "with, I think, six rooms downstairs. The top floor was gone it looked like a fire had destroyed it years ago"

I looked at Papyrus and you could see his mind working as he pictured the building for himself.

"Elem wanted to check the living room saying something about a hidden button on the fireplace. I remember laughing at him and calling him a dork" I giggle. "So I watch him pressing, turning and hitting anything he can reach. He was pulling faces and he didn't even know. I was laughing into my hands cause he looked so silly!" Papyrus is looking at me with a small bit of happiness on his skull now.

"I don't know how long later we hear," I lower my voice trying to sound like a man

"I know you're in there! Come out!...It was the night guard and we'd get into trouble if we got caught. I remember feeling so scared but Elem, Elem kept his cool and he grabbed my arm, tugging me out the window to our right. We ran like hell to the wall and to this day I don't remember how we got over it again. My brother laughed all the way home"

" Turns out, when we get back to our house, Mum was awake having just gotten a phone call from the guard. He'd recognised my hair. Being the only red head in a small village sucked"

"Sucked?" Paps asked

"It..uh..means it wasn't good, wasn't fun" I explain "We both got grounded for that stunt" I laugh

Papyrus looks at me then to the door his own brother not far from his thoughts. He shuffles his bones a little and starts playing the bottom of his hospital gown.

"W-Where is your brother?" he asks "Is he going to come looking for you?"

I look to my lap and start to pick at the skin around my nails.

"No Paps he's...uh...he won't be looking for me" I mumble

Papyrus looks at my face searching my expression.

"Why?"

I feel tears prick at my eyes and I blink to try to clear them.

"My bro is...um...he's...uh" I fumble over my words trying to answer the curious bundle of bones in front of me.

"Why is this still so hard to say" I take a steadying breath as my still conjured wolf snuggles up to me like he's giving comfort.

"Elem died two years before I fell down here. He..he was stabbed by a bad person" Tears poring down my face as I remember his last text to me. I'd kept it on my phone refusing to delete it. It's been, what, three years? I've lost time down here and have actually no idea how long its been since I woke up after falling.

"Hay Paps why don't you tell me a little about yourself?" I ask as I dry my tears

"Well I like the puzzles that Dr Gaster gives us and I like spending time with Sans and I like spending time with you and I like it when you sing and I..." he rambles getting all excited

"Slow down there hun, take a breath" I chuckle.

"I like it when you laugh" he blushes orange.

"You're so sweet Paps." I have no idea how he's managed to stay so kind in this situation " I wish I could get you and your brother out of here"

I promise myself that the first chance I get I'll take it. I will get them out, no matter how hard, no matter the cost to myself.

"Paps? Would you like me to sing you a song?"

He nods and I just sit for a little while trying to think of something.

Taking a breath I start

"You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy

When skies are grey

You'll never know dear

How much I love you

Please don't take

My sunshine away"

As the final note dies away we both hear footsteps approaching the door.

Papyrus gets to his feet and I follow close behind, dispelling Ganymede.

The doors open and Gasters familiar magic grabs a hold and he levitates us out of the door.

"Sir w-where is my brother?"

Gaster keeps quiet as we're moved to Papyrus' room.

The closer we get, the more afraid I start to feel. Running around in my head are so many questions

What if the human is dead?

What if Sans killed the human?

What if Sans is dead?

What would Papyrus do if Sans was dead?

Gsater stops outside the room the skeleboys share and when the door opens I can hear quiet crying and can just about see Sans curled up on the floor.

Papyrus rushes in as soon as Gaster releases him and pulls his smaller brother close.

"I c-couldn't...I w-wouldn't...and he..he..." I hear Sans sob to Paps as the scientist closes the door.

I'm just frozen and not just because of the magic restraining me. I'm angry.

I can see Gasters eyelights flick towards me as I'm floated beside him.

We reach my room and I'm moved through the door. He then releases me and I lunge at him arm raised.

Just before my hand can connect with his face I'm thrown back against the wall with enough force to break a few of my ribs.

I don't care.

Realising that struggling against his magic is getting me no-where I start my rant.

"What the fuck did you do to him you asshole! What in the ever loving fuck gives you the right to hurt him, them! What the actual fuck happened!" I actually don't expect Gaster to respond or explain, but he does.

"He refused to kill the human so we could harvest the SOUL, I punished him"

"So you hurt him because the human got away?" I ask with hope in my voice.

No, the human is dead. The SOUL has been collected and been sent to Asgore"

I feel myself slump in defeat as that bit of information sinks in.

"Why did you have to take Sans, he's fifteen. They don't deserve this. I don't either." I can feel myself tear up. Today has just been awful.

"If another human was to fall would you kill them?" Gaster asks

Could I? That's the question isn't it. Could I kill someone? Even if Gaster promised he'd use me and not the boys, would I be able to take a life?

I'm really not sure I could.

I can't look at him and he answers for me.

"No. You couldn't. You have been down here for two human years and your SOUL is still Perseverance. It's not changed in the slightest"

I'm looking at him wondering where he is going with this.

Nothing could have prepared me for what came out of his mouth next.

"With every injection you are becoming less human and more monster. Are you still more concerned about them? Would you not abandon them to save yourself if given the opportunity?"

Again I search deep within myself.

I think about leaving Sans and Papyrus with this cracked faced bastard. Leave them to whatever fate he has planed for them. There is no way I could, the whole idea makes me feel sick and disgusted.

"Never" I firmly state. There is not a chance in hell that I could, would do such a thing. I'm just not that type of person.

"I cannot release any of you as you are all dangerous. But if I get your word that you would be willing to collect the next SOUL I may go easer on the other two." he's looking me in the eye waiting for my reply.

I am shocked by this offer. He's asking me to kill even after everything we just spoke about. How could I? Maybe it would be better for me to do it. Next time he could take Papyrus and there was no chance in hell I would let Paps get into that sort of situation. And Sans, oh god Sans, I couldn't let him go through that again! I've already killed a monster so in my mind I'm a murderer. Could I add a human to my sins? It would be a very,very small chance that I would know the human. A weak excuse and I know it. But would it give me a chance to free the skeleboys? I could plan, get a look at the outside of this bloody lab. Plus the next human might stumble across a monster that would drag out their death, I could possibly make it quick and relatively painless.

Swallowing my guilt and disgust I look away from Gasters intense gaze and agreed to his terms.

I could feel my sins crawling on my back.

Oh come on. I can't be the only one who would sell their SOUL to keep either of these boys safe?

So life sucks for me at the moment but I will try to keep this story going. I hate finding a story no matter how good or bad and it not being finished. So I promise this will be. I know where I want to go with it. Hopefully I will be able to upload a chapter a week. So thank you to anyone who is reading this

Nicciwolf out.
