It was the middle of the night when Savannah was woken up by a high pitched squeal and turned to see Frisk sat upright on the other end of the couch, hands over her ears, eyes squeezed shut and screaming.
"Frisk, Frisk, what's wrong?" Savannah asked, shaking the younger girl "Frisk?" Frisk opened her eyes and saw savannah looking at her, a look of worry on her face "Frisk, what's the matter, why were you screaming?" Frisk gave a shuddering gasp and threw herself at her sister before sobbing onto her shoulder as Savannah put her arm around her "hey, what's the matter?"
"I-I K-killed her" Frisk sobbed, her voice muffled as she buried her face into Savannah's shoulder.
"Who are you talking about?" savannah asked, pulling Frisk away from her shoulder so that she could look at her and saw that the little girl's face was streaked with tears and more were rolling down her cheeks "who did you kill?"
"Toriel" Frisk replied in between sobs "I didn't mean to do it, something was making me do it, I didn't want to do it, I didn't."
"I think you just had a nightmare" savannah replied, rubbing her back "you didn't kill her when we left the ruins did you?" Frisk shook her head, wiping her eyes with her sleeve "see, everything's okay. She's still alive."
"It wasn't just that" Frisk replied "after I you know, did what I did what I did to Toriel, Flowey showed up and he seemed pleased with what I did, he seemed pleased that I killed her and he called me Chara again. I don't get it savannah, who is Chara and why does he think I'm them?"
"Beats me" Savannah replied with a shrug "maybe they're somebody he used to know and you reminded him of them."
"I think that might it the reason he said that I reminded him of someone back in the ruins when I went in that room with the candy and he tied me up with those vines" Frisk explained "maybe he was talking about this Chara person." Just then, they're came the sound of someone running down the stairs before Papyrus came bursting into the room, striking a hero like pose.
"HAVE NO FEAR, THE GREAT PAPYRUS IS HERE" he declared before striding over to the two sisters and looking at Frisk "WAS IT YOU THAT WAS SCREAMING TINY HUMAN,ARE YOU IN ANY TROUBLE, WELL DO NOT WORRY I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL PROTECT YOU, I WILL FEND OFF THE VILLAIN."
"It's okay Papyrus, Frisk just had a nightmare that's all" Savannah replied just as Sans entered the room with an amused expression, hands in his pockets and looking at a Frisk.
"Was that really you screaming and scaring the bone outta me?" he joked, ruffling her hair.
"I'm sorry, it was a really scary nightmare that's all" Frisk replied.
"Well you don't need to worry about nightmares, they're not real" replied Sans "but I guess it must have been really scary for you to scream like that and you don't half have a loud scream for such a little thing." After Frisk had cheered up a little, everyone had gone back to bed and the next morning, Savannah decided it was time to continue on with their journey now that Frisk had recovered from her fever and was well enough to travel.
"IT'S BEEN REAL FUN HAVING YOU TWO HUMANS HERE FOR THE PAST WEEK" said Papyrus, pulling both girls into a hug "I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FUN TIMES WE HAD, MAKING SPAGHETTI, SOLVING PUZZLES."
"It kind has been fun" Savannah replied "and we're great-full for what you guys did for us, taking us in when Frisk got sick even though you were originally going to capture us."
"YEAH IT'S A SHAME I NEVER DID ACCOMPLISH MY GOAL OF CAPTURING YOU AND THE TINY HUMAN BUT NO MATTER, WE ARE ALL FRIENDS NOW AND IF ANOTHER HUMAN WAS TO COME TO THE UNDERGROUND, I CAN CAPTURE THEM INSTEAD" the loud talking Skeleton implied "BUT DON'T THINK OF THIS AS GOODBYE FOREVER, I HAVE A FEELING THAT WE WILL BE SEEING EACH OTHER AGAIN."
"Well I wish we could stay here a little while longer but we need to get back to the surface" Savannah explained "our parents must be worried about us by now, we must have been missing for quite a while now."
"AH YES SO I'M GUESSING THAT YOU ARE SEEKING THE BARRIER, THE VERY THING THAT KEEPS US MONSTERS TRAPPED UNDERGROUND BUT OF COURSE, YOU TWO WILL BE ABLE TO PASS THROUGH BECAUSE ONLY THOSE WITH A HUMAN SOUL CAN CROSS THE BARRIER AND SEEING AS YOU TWO ARE HUMAN, YOU HAVE HUMAN SOULS AND WILL BE ABLE TO PASS THROUGH THE BARRIER. NOW, IN ORDER TO GET TO THE BARRIER, YOU WILL NEED TO GO THROUGH THE KING'S CASTLE, THE KING OF ALL MONSTERS" both girls looked nervous, remembering what Toriel had told them about their King "BUT NO NEED TO WORRY, HE'S A BIG FUZZY PUSH OVER, HE'LL PROBABLY LEAD YOU BOTH TO THE BARRIER HIMSELF."
"Then we get to go home?" Frisk asked, smiling and turning to her older sister "Savannah, we have to go to the barrier then we can go home."
"Okay Frisk but we need to say thank you to Sans and Papyrus" Savannah told Frisk "after all, they did help look after you when you got sick." Frisk nodded and turned to Papyrus before giving him a big hug round his leg because that was the only thing she could reach.
"Thank you for looking after me" the little girl said "you made me feel better." Papyrus cackled and lifted the small girl off from the floor, holding her in his arms like a baby.
"YOU ARE VERY WELCOME AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS MY DUTY TO CAPTURE ANY HUMANS THAT WONDER INTO OUR WORLD, IT WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE TO CAPTURE THEM IF THEY'RE UNWELL" he implied.
"Where's Dunkle Sans?" Frisk asked and both Papyrus and Savannah were quite surprised to hear what she had just said.
"Frisk, why did you call San's Dunkle?" Savannah asked "That's the first time I've heard you call him hat before."
"Well he's like a Dad and an Uncle, so that makes him a Dunkle, Dunkle sans" Frisk replied with a cheeky smirk as sans appeared out of nowhere, chuckling and ruffling the Six year old's hair.
"Well I didn't know you saw me as your daddy and uncle at the same time" he mused.
"Little kids, they're so adorable aren't they" Savannah teased, petting Frisk on the head only to receive a playful scowl from her little sister.
"You can stop now Savannah I ain't a doggy" Frisk implied, giving Savannah a playful punch on the arm before turning to Sans with a sweet smile.
"You don't mind me calling you Dunkle do you?" the little girl asked "I came up with that name you know, Dunkle."
"And I like that name, Dunkle Sans" Sans replied with a chuckle "heh heh Dunkle Sans." After the girls had said their goodbyes to the two Skeletons, they left the house and where outside once again in the town of snowdin.
"So which way do we go now?" Frisk asked, looking around "I don't think we can go that way" she pointed in the direction towards the ruins "we can't go that way because that was the way we came."
"I think we go that way" Replied savannah pointing to the path ahead of them "that seems to be our only option and I don't wanna be hanging around this place much longer, I wanna go home."
"So do I" Frisk agreed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear "I want to see Mommy and Daddy."
"We will soon" the older girl reassured her before taking her by the hand "well, are you ready." Frisk nodded and the sisters headed off into the next area which was made of blue walled caverns with tiny crystals embedded in them.
"Wow, this place is amazing" Savannah commented "just check out all the little crystals in the walls." Frisk was wondering around the room, fascinated by the crystals in the walls that she accidently bumped into someone.
"Hey, watch it" a young kid's voice said and Frisk saw that it was a small lizard like creature, he was a light orange colour and he wore a yellow and orange striped shirt but the one thing that caught Frisk's attention was the fact that he didn't have any arms.
"Sorry for bumping into you" Frisk said apologeticly "I was looking at the crystals in the walls." Savannah walked over to the pair and asked the armless little creature who he was and what he was doing out here.
"I'm Monster Kid, but a lot of people call me MK for short" he replied "I snuck out here to see Undyne, she is so cool, I'm guessing you guys have heard of her" Savannah and Frisk both nodded, remembering Sans and Papyrus telling them about Undyne, how she was the head of the royal guard and that she vowed to capture any humans that fell into the underground and take their souls.
"Hey wait a minute" MK piped up, a huge grin spreading across his face, his eyes transfixed on Frisk's purple and pink sweater "you're a kid aren't you, I can tell because you're wearing a striped shirt."
"What's that got to do with her being a kid?" Savannah asked, the Eleven year old raising an eyebrow at MK.
"All kids around here wear striped shirts" he replied before noticing that Savannah was wearing a yellow t-shirt, a red hooded jacket, knee length denim skirt, dark blue leggings and red and white tennis shoes "hey wait a second, how come you're not wearing a striped shirt?"
"I just didn't want to wear one today" she replied "and besides, not all kids where striped shirts, well, not where we come from, now if you'll excuse us, we need to be somewhere." MK was looking confused at what Savannah had just said whilst she and Frisk headed on further through the cavern in order to proceed with their journey to get to the barrier and get home. They were now passing a large waterfall and Frisk saw something behind it, something round and pink and the little girl was curious to know what it was so she went behind the large waterfall before Savannah had a chance to stop her and came out a few seconds later holding a small dusty tutu in her hands.
"Look at this, isn't it neat?" the six year old beamed as she showed savannah what she had just found.
"I think you better put that back" Savannah implied as she inspected the tutu, seeing little small dirt marks around it "it's filthy and it could belong to a little girl monster, she probably lost it and is now looking for it."
"We can always check" Frisk replied with a smirk before she began to yell "HEY, HAS ANYBODY LOST A PINK TUTU BEHIND THE WATERFALL IN THE DARK CAVERN WITH ALL THE CRYSTALS, IF SO PLEASE COME AND CLAIM IT NOW OR ELSE I'M KEEPING IT" no body came and Frisk turned to Savannah with a triumphant smile "well, looks like I got myself a tutu."
"Okay fine" said Savannah as Frisk put on the tutu "but if we run into anybody and they say it's theirs then you got to give it back okay?"
"Course I will" Frisk replied as she did little dance moves as the pair of them walked through a patch of small grass "I think I'd make a great ballerina you know, maybe I could be one when I grow up, I could..." Savannah threw her hand over the younger girl's mouth as someone could be heard approaching and they looked up at the top of the cliff side which was directly above the small patch of grass they were walking through to see Papyrus, but he wasn't alone because there was someone else up there with him, someone dressed in metal armour.
"UNDYNE, I'M HERE WITH MY DAILY REPORT" he spoke as the two girls listened, keeping themselves hidden "IT'S ABOUT THE TWO HUMANS THAT HAD FALLEN DOWN HERE A FEW DAYS AGO, YES, I DID TRY AND CAPTURE THEM BUT YOU SEE THE THING IS UNDYNE IS THAT THEY ESCAPED" there came a sound of clanking armour followed by an annoyed snarl which made Frisk whimper and grab Savannah's arm in fear "WHAT, YOU'RE GOING TO GO AFTER THEM AND TAKE THEIR SOUL'S YOURSELF, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO DESTROY THEM YOU SEE" there was another sound of clanking armour followed by an annoyed voice "I SEE, I'LL TRY AND HELP YOU ANYWAY I CAN." As they heard Papyrus leaving, Frisk looked at Savannah with a look of fear on her face, scared that Papyrus was going to betray them, that he was going to capture them for real this time and hand them over to Undyne.
"He won't do that" Savannah whispered, trying to keep her voice low "you're forgetting that he decided not to capture us when you got sick and he didn't stop us from leaving did he?" Frisk shook her head "there you see, now let's get going." They began walking through the tall grass but the rustling had caught Undyne's attention and the two girls looked up to see her slowly making her way to the edge of the cliff, brandishing a large blue spear, looking around before disappearing into the shadows.
"Phew, that was close" Frisk pointed out as they came out of the tall grass only to find that MK had also been in there with them as he followed them out, looking rather excited and he was jumping up and down on the spot.
"Oh my god, did you see the way she was looking at you two, I am so jealous" he stated "come on, let's go a watch her beat up some bad guys." He went to run ahead but fell flat on his face and this made Frisk giggle in amusement but he got right back up and carried on running before Frisk noticed that Savannah was in deep thought.
"What are you thinking about Savannah?" the six year old girl asked innocently.
"I'm thinking that we may be seeing Undyne again at some point" the older girl implied as a look of worry spread across Frisk's face. This world was beginning to scare her and all she wanted was to get back to the surface.
Meanwhile, Papyrus was heading back into snowdin, worrying about two human girls when he saw something rustling from underneath the snow before a familiar yellow Flower shot up from underneath, smiling sweetly at the Skeleton.
"Nyeh heh heh heh" Papyrus chuckled as she knelt down "if it isn't my awesome little Flower friend."
"Howdy Papyrus" Flowey chirped, still keeping his friendly expression "been a while hasn't it, what you been up to lately, capture any humans and speaking of humans, did you hear about those two human girls that fell down here the other day?"
"YEAH IN FACT I MET THEM" Papyrus replied "NICE LITTLE HUMANS THEY ARE, HAVE YOU MET THEM YET?"
"Well I did encounter them back in the ruins but I never got a chance to say hello to them" Flowey replied "Toriel took them to her home before I had the chance to introduce myself to them. Say, you don't happen to know where they're heading do you, if I catch up with them I could meet them properly, I'm sure they'll love to meet little old me."
"YEAH I KNOW WHERE THEY'RE HEADING" Papyrus replied "THEY'RE HEADING TO THE CAPITAL TO GET TO THE BARRIER AND IF I'M MOST CERTAIN, THEY SHOULD BE IN WATERFALL BY NOW, IF YOU HURRY, YOU MIGHT CATCH THEM."
"Water fall hmm?" Flowey pondered "well thank you very much Papyrus, I can't wait to meet these two human girls."
"NO PROBLEM, IT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR AND I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS MAKES A VERY GOOD FRIEND INDEED" he declared before heading off, little knowing that he had been tricked as Flowey's friendly expression morphed into a more sinister and demonic one.
"Don't you worry Chara, your old and best friend Flowey will see you real soon." Flowey then cackled evilly before disappearing into the ground.
