Chapter 5: Troubled Times


-I have been really busy lately and so writing has been delayed a little longer than usual. For that I am sorry. But, all the same I hope you enjoy chapter 5 of Learning to Hope. I will probably come back and edit everything some time in the future. I hope you enjoy the story :)-


Undyne woke with a start. She was sweating profusly and breathing heavily. The room around her was pitch black. Still hauted by the terrors she faced in her dreams she created a glowing blue spear in her hand. Using the light emitted she looked around her bedroom. Once she surveyed and was positive that everything was alright she relaxed a bit. She tensed as she remembered her dream. The voice of Alphys shouting that she and Sans were murders replayed in her mind. It was so real. But, it couldn't have been. Sans and Alphys wouldn't hurt a fly let alone be murderers. [It's just a nightmare.] Undyne told herself. Once reasured she checked the time only to almost screech in terror. She was going to be late to her meeting with King Asgore.

Ever since the last human soul broke monsters have gone in a state of panic. They would ask if they were ever going to get out. For if one human soul could break could others? The citizens began to argue over what actions the royal gaurds should do if a human were to fall down again. One argued that they should be more careful in how they would kill a human and be more gentle with its soul as for it not to break. The other side argued that if they were to do that they would be endagering the gaurds. They would reference Toriel and Muffet as examples of monsters who "got in the way" of the human. So those monsters preposed that they instead capture the human alive and put them in a cell until they were ready to go to the surface.

With all of the chaos the gaurds have been sent home until the captain and king figure out a plan. Undyne was told by Asgore, before she went to head home with her friends, that she was to meet him to disscuss a course of action. Speaking of which, how did she get home again. Undyne didn't remember opening the door of her house and certainly didn't remember lying down in her bed. Odd she usually remembered things better than anyone she knew. She never forgot anything. [This entire day has been weird] she thought to herself as she approahed judgement hall. She still wondered why it's called that but, she knows that it's usless to try a figure out. She already wasted enough time researching and asking questions Asgore would never answer.

She entered the throne panting. "Am I late?" She asked between breaths.

"No you are right on time". Asgore said plainly. Undyne sighed in relief. And with that they the started the meeeting. Discussing several matters about the fate of monsters and some personal problems. Asgore had mentioned his deseaced wife with sorrow and how bad he felt about not being able to help her more in life. Undyne had decided to not mention her previous nightmare. Throughout all of the conversation Undyne had a nagging feeling that someone was watching her. What was even creepier however, was the fact that she couldn't shake the feeling that it was connected to her dream.

As she headed for the door to the throne room she noticed a red light in the dark corner of the rom. Apon looking at it more closely she noticed that it was a camera. Undyne eyes grew wide as thousands of questions flooded her head such as, does the king know? Who put it there and why? But, the biggest question was

"If someone was watching who was it?"
