Sans Pov

It was the right moment. She was feeling scared and I wanted her to feel safe. I finally had the guts. Pun intended. But these damn creatures have to ruin everything. I decided we could talk about it later if she even knows what that was. I hope she knows what it means to me at least.

Max and I rushed out of the hut. He was starting to use the power of whatever it was his power was of summoning the earth to do his bidding. I used my magic feeling it hot in my eye and summoned a bone getting ready for attack.

Before hand killing these thing's were no problem. But now I feel like I'm betraying Frisk because she is one of these things. I've slaughtered dozens and each one was a friend I thought I was putting out of their misery. I can't even do that for Frisk.

As we stepped out I saw Toriel throwing fire straight at the some of the Takers trying to take some of the children's souls. There were dozens more trying to go after the grown up that were running every where.

We both froze in panic. How could this have happened? There was a secret door behind a rock with a freaking waterfall to really cover it. I looked towards Max to see him as worried as I was. "What do we do?" I asked. He looked around as he was searching for something. He must have found it because he soon looked at me with the fear gone and the fury in his eyes. "You stay here and help Toriel blast some of these freaks. I'm going to find out how they got in the first place."

With that he ran off throwing earth at any takers in his path. I then saw that some takers were coming after me. Luckily it was no one I knew. "Alright. Whose looking for a bad time." I said as they growled and started running fast towards me.

I used my magic to throw swarms of bones straight through their heads or through them not killing but wounding. Some that got closer I had to throw, punch or stab. I watched as Toriel was setting a fire wall to protect the children and keeping the takers away. I heard her screaming for them to get to safety. As an old friend I knew what I had to do.

"Toriel! Drop the fire wall! Protect the monsters who survived!" I screamed as I was still fighting off some of the takers trying to take my soul. She looked at me with her eyes wide and filled with fear. "Sans if this wall goes down they'll attack the children. They go after the weak!"

I looked at the ones trying to take down the wall but get incinerated in the meantime. I remembered what I did with my second encounter with Undyne. While fighting I screamed to her again. "Toriel! Trust me just bring down the wall and get them to safety!" She looked hesitant but did as told and let the wall go.

They all then stopped paying attention to me and looked hungerly at the children. As they all started to run I felt the magic burning as I used my strength to make a thirty feet tall wall of bones summoned from the ground. I made each one of them blue so if they even think of trying they won't die but they will get hurt very very bad.

The children were screaming, crying and begging for help or their mom. Toriel gave me a look of thanks before telling the children to run the other way into hiding. I had to make sure to keep my strength to keep that wall up and to fight off the one's who are trying to come after me. I used all my strength before, I can do it again.

My mind started to ask a lot of questions. Where the hell is Max? How did this happen? Why do they keep coming? Is Frisk okay? Did Frisk enjoy what we did? It all started to focus on Frisk. I soon realized the wall I had was starting to fade. I tried to bring it back but I was getting weaker by the second.

It felt like the time in the hall in a past timeline. I gave it all I got and the girl in the green stripped sweater kept coming back. Everything I did was for Papyrus. And It still wasn't enough. I got slashed in the end because I was starting to fall asleep. I was always lazy at the most serious things.

I saw a swarm of takers starting to come after me. I felt weak in my chest and realized my wound from the fight with Undyne was starting to open with all this stress. I could feel my knees getting weaker and the magic inside starting to fade. The wall was going to break, and these takers would take my soul.

Before I gave in to everything happening to me I saw someone running and starting to attack the swarm of takers who were going to attack. I looked closely to realize it was Frisk. I realized I was on one knee ready to fall. I tried to stand but my side was killing me. Her eyes were fully dull and her teeth were dripping with magic residue. I watched as she fought each and every taker off. Not one got near where I was.

When she had the time she started to run towards me. "S-Sans...!" She said her voice not fully there. I tried to sit up but I failed once again. "Kid! My wound from Undyne opened. But I'm okay! I can still keep that wall up from getting to the children. You gotta get out of here."

Frisk shook her head and placed a hand on the side of my skull. "F-fight...You g-g-go..." She said putting her forehead against mine. I wanted to protest but another swarm of takers were coming this way.

I looked as she fought them. They scratched and clawed, but they couldn't do any more damage to her. She growled and screamed not letting one past her. I figured the wall would stay up long enough as long as I wasn't dust.

"I used my magic once again took a short cut to the hut. As I sat there wounded on my knee trying to find some way to help Frisk, the bed was moved all the way to the side revealing a passage deeper in the ground.

The curiosity always did kill the cat.

I grabbed a hold of the table and used it as a way to fully stand up. It hurt like hell but I was able to be a man. I made my way down the staircase going down into the secret passage limping with every step.

I finally made my way down to see a large cage in a single empty room. It was broken and wide open. I didn't want to know what was in that thing. I saw another door that led down a long hallway. I sighed and held onto my side trying to hold myself together. I wasn't ready for the pain that might endure after all of this.

I limped every step after going through that hellway. Why would Max have such a long passage way. Why would he have a passage way?
As I made my way down the hallway it led to a single wooden door. I went to open it but it was already opened. Someone was down here. I know I don't have much strength but I wasn't going out like someone in a horror movie.

I summoned a bone in my hand and opened the door to find a dusted taker on the ground. I was in some sort of cave with the sound of rushing water. I kept going down and found out I was at the entrance of the camp.

As I got closer to the waterfall I saw a familiar Cat on his knees just behind the waterfall. I limped over and sat next to him. He was staring at a black dust pile looking like ash. He had tears running down the side of his face and the look of guilt in his eyes.

"Max? Who was it?" I asked. He wasn't scared that I was there. He just stared at the pile as he answered. "My sister." He said. I realized that this was the same sister he was speaking of in the photo on his desk. "But Toriel said-"

"But she only told you what I told her. This is what happen's when you keep the ones you love even if they are this...thing." He grabbed a little of her dust and held it close to his chest. "They eventually get tired of you. They go out looking for food on their own because what you give them isn't good enough. And when they come back they aren't the same person anymore. Then your forced to do something you hoped you never had to do."

I looked near the pile to see a stalactite from the cave was laying on the side. I put two and two together and realized he was trying to keep his sister alive by keeping her in that cage. He tried everything to keep her alive. But he couldn't give her enough and she escaped trying to get some food. She found some but accidentally brought some friends with her.

The rest I didn't want to think about. Is this what would happen if- No. Frisk is only going after the ones who are hurt. And I'm not keeping her in some damn cage like a prisoner. He tried to keep her wrong and got many hurt because of it.

"Your a hypocrite." I said feeling my sockets go lifeless. Max looked over to me offended. And he should be. "Excuse me?"

"I said your a hypocrite! You kept wanting Frisk dead, hidden. When all you were doing was keeping your sister in a cage! At least I take care of her instead of treating her like some animal." He stood up and clenched his first hard. "She was my sister! Your's is a human! There's a difference. I wanted to protect my people and her. It was the only way and I realize it was a mistake. Now realize she is too!" He said almost in face.

I stood up as hard as it was I was ready to throw a bone at this guy but he was one step ahead of me. He pinned me to the wall making chest bleed hard. "You want to protect her? Try doing that when she kills a dozen monsters. Then what will you do?" I looked at him wanting to give him a bad time right then and there. But I had no strength to do anything. I pushed him off even and started to storm off back to the door.

"I'm going to find Frisk to make sure she's fine. And to make sure your doing didn't kill anyone." I said before taking a short cut to the camp. I looked around to see black dust piles were everywhere. One pile I saw was of that bone I gave that kid. Near the pile was a blood trail leading to behind a tent where one stayed. I didn't want to see the rest. I already knew what happened.

"Frisk!" I called. The place was a ghost town. No takers, no people. "Frisk!" I called again but louder. "Toriel! Kids! It's Sans!" I tried. I then heard the sound of a takers growl and I felt my soul flutter thanking whoever was up there that Frisk was okay.

I ran closer to the sound to see Frisk digging herself into a monsters soul. The once fluttering heart was now sinking to the sight. I ran over hoping she would hear me. "Frisk! Stop!" I screamed. She looked over and was immediately filled with fear. I got down to her level and embraced her holding her tight in my arms.

"I...I-I'm sorry...I-did-didn't mean to." She sobbed in my arms with black tears falling down the side of her face. I held on tighter letting her know I was there. "It's okay... It's okay. Was he?" I was hoping for the correct answer. But when I felt her head shake my soul sank even more.

I looked Frisk straight in the eye. "Frisk. I know I was never good at making promises, but you have to promise me this. You have to promise to never eat a live soul again. I know it's probably hard for you to control but please promise me." She looked at me scared and uneasy. I knew it was hard for her. I couldn't imagine to be told to never eat something again. But I wasn't telling her that. I was telling her to not kill anyone. I didn't like that side of her.

She looked me in the eye and did her best to speak. "I-I promise." I embraced her again and felt lucky to be given a second chance with her.

A moment later Toriel came walking out no children behind. They must still be in shelter. She smiled as she walked closer. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything." She said winking at me. I felt blushed getting caught in a situation like this.

After making sure there was no more takers hiding somewhere in the camp, we grabbed the ones in shelter and let them collect the dust of the ones they loved. After cleaning the mess we all had a ceremony where we all gave a moment of silence holding jars of their dusted lovers. Toriel said a few words as Max was no where to be seen. He was most likely taking in his guilt and grief somewhere he knows he can't be judged.

After the ceremony we all wanted to sleep after such a long day. Before taking Frisk to bed, even if she doesn't sleep, Toriel fixed up my wounds and put me to bed in Max's bed. As she was patching up my wounds she asked where Max was. I decided to tell her. She deserved to know. She was surprised, but she wasn't completely shocked.

"We'll talk more in the morning. But I wouldn't tell Frisk. Do you understand why?" Toriel asked before leaving. I took a long sigh scared of why I knew my answer. "Yeah. I know. Goodnight Tori."
