Chapter 1
(If you see something that needs to be corrected or fixed, feel free to message me.)
When news broke out that the monsters were free from the underground first emerged, tensions were high. From the legends, it meant that a monster or seven monsters had turned into beings with immense power and that they were more than ready to have their long-awaited and well-deserved revenge. So the humans braced themselves, only to have a child come forth to explain that the monsters only wanted peace and were genuinely happy to be freed. No one expected that they would have been reintegrated so quickly with society and accepted as a whole, then again the generations of hatred towards monsters have sized down since the monsters have been trapped for about six/seven generations. The generation of this time is more into accepting you even if you're different, so the monsters had it easy. If it was even one generation earlier, another war would have broken out and the monsters would be pushed back into the mountain, or even more likely wiped out.
Evalyn was disgusted, she couldn't bear the sight of monsters, they had to been hiding something. No one can be that calm after being trapped for so long against their own will. She knows that they're planning something, waiting until they can build up everyone's trust then that's when they'll strike. So she only shopped in human stores and went out of her way to avoid monster neighborhoods. She thought about hanging a sign that said, "No Monsters" but previous humans that have done anything along those lines were shamed by protesters and labeled on social media and even news outlets as bigots. Didn't they have the right to express their hatred if they're not hurting anyone? It sickened her and just to make it worst they were everywhere. She had to smile at them and laugh with them. Declining very strongly when they wanted to hang out, who did they think they were. They will never be equal to her or any human for that matter. So as she sat alone in her house drinking her coffee, a knock at the door drew her attention. She placed the cup down and went to answer it. A little bunny monster was holding a box of chocolates, and two bigger monsters, that must have been her parents, weren't too far behind.
"Hello, ma'am. Would you like to buy a chocolate bar?"
She couldn't even force a smile and with a stern no she nearly and almost impulsively slammed the door in the monster's face. After going back to her couch another ring was at the door. She huffed wondering if the parents would castigate her, but instead, it was a little human girl with the same box of chocolates.
"Hey miss Eva!"
"Aw, hi Emma! What is it you have there?"
"A box of chocolate, each is a dollar, want one?"
"Sure!"
Evalyn took out a dollar from her pocket and handed it to Emma.
"Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome."
Emma skipped off, but before Evalyn could close the door she saw the little monster rabbit and Emma talking and laughing, while the parents did the same. Evalyn couldn't close the door fast enough, but that was at snail's pace considering how fast she threw out the chocolate. She's never talking to those monster loving bitches ever again.
The next day
Evalyn groaned as she got ready for work. When she left, Emma was leaving for school and waved a hearty "Hello!" to her neighbor and Evalyn replied with a slammed car door, then sped off to work.
She pulled up to the hospital and let out a sigh of relief until she saw a whole shin-dig out front that no one told her about. She dropped off the car with the valet, then walked around to the entrance which was packed with monsters and humans celebrating. She pushed past everyone until someone grabbed her arm.
"Miss Evalyn, there you are! Frisk, Gaster, I would like you to meet one of my leading ladies."
She recognized Frisk immediately. So this is the little shit that brought on this hell. Forcing a smile she shakes hands with the child. She stepped back and looked at the tall monster and waited.
"You're not going to shake my hand?"
"I can't tell if you have any. Sorry, with so many monsters it's impossible to keep track."
The monster extended his hand. Her smile faded when she took his hand then quickly let it go, wiping it behind her back. With a nervous laugh, her boss tried to keep things positive.
"Sorry, she's just a little nervous and really doesn't want to offend anyone, which is great, because she's in charge of the HR department, but soon that title is going to have to change, isn't it?"
Evalyn winced and grunted.
"Oh don't worry Evalyn, no one is going to take your job. You'll just have to do it with a monster!"
Evalyn tried her best to apply a smile again, but it was forced.
"That sounds awesome. I never get to interact with monsters, so this will be a great experience for me."
"Likewise."
"I wasn't talking to you."
They all looked at Evalyn waiting for an apology that would never come. Her boss laughed even more and pulled her aside.
He grits his teeth, "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Why are we renaming the HR department? Why can't they make an MR department for their kind!"
"You better keep your voice down. The monsters have agreed to put in a lot of money to this hospital and it would not only bring monsters and humans closer together, but it would improve everything greatly around here."
Evalyn almost bites her lip off.
"Eva, are you racist against monsters?"
"They are not the same species. They're not equal to a human, so I can't be racist." To cover her ass, she stood up straight and smiled, "I just find it so weird. This is happening so fast, I'm just mad no one told me about it. Let's get back to your friends."
The man wasn't able to call her back in time before she stood before the child and the monster.
"Sorry that this has to be cut short, but I have to get to work."
Before she could walk off a hand grabbed her shoulder. Seeing that it was from the tall monster, a stroke of sadness went through her that she would have to burn her favorite shirt.
"I'm going with you."
She scowled, "Was that a command?"
He smiled at her and she felt her blood boil. So turning on her heels, she practically stomped towards the HR department as the monster gracefully followed and she tried ever so hard to ignore the laughter and giggles that seemed to flow through the hospital. When she reached the department, a huge cake was in the middle of the room and her employees laughed with monsters that would soon be hired to work there.
A co-worker pulled her into the crowd, "Ahh! Yes! This amazing woman right here is Evalyn. She's going to be our boss!"
All the monsters crowded around her and she couldn't help but feel disgusted.
"Excuse me, I'm going to go to my office."
She hurried off and ran into her office, taking deep breaths.
"You hate monsters don't you."
She nearly jumped out of her skin, "Why are you in here?"
"I told you I was coming with you."
She watched him as he walked towards her, making her hold her breath, then he sat in a chair, folding one leg over the other. She sat at the edge of her desk and glared at him, as he smirked.
"So do you hate monsters?"
"..."
"Don't worry, I won't say anything to anyone."
"Do you think I'm that stupid? Even if I did, why would I admit it."
"You're not denying it."
She walked around the desk and sat in her chair.
"You do understand that monsters are only going to become more and more integrated into society. So if you have feelings to express I suggest doing it now. Do you want me to go first?"
Evalyn leaned forward with the widest grin on her face.
"I hated humans. As I worked endlessly in my lab, the motivation of ripping humans apart and using them as test subjects brought me great joy. Then I 'died' until something brought me back. I thought they've finally done it. I thought they found a way to bring me back and that monsters would finally be able to rule the surface while humans, at least the few that we allowed to live, would be at our feet. However, when I came back I found that the very being I hated, the very being I wanted to destroy, saved monsters. Even so, I tried to convince them that Frisk was just a child, that the adults would kill us first chance they get, however, we were accepted with open arms. I thought about closing myself off, but wasn't that what monsters were fighting for? Freedom? So even though I still have hate and pain in my soul, it's slowly being replaced with something more positive. Even with people like you."
The monster stood up and approached her desk. Evalyn yawned and tried not to make eye contact.
"I hate monsters and the fact that you have names is funny. That you go into human stores is funny, I mean why are you at a hospital? Why couldn't you build your own? Then you can't even say you hate monsters or else you lose your job, then you get shamed to the point you can't leave your house. Then everywhere you go it's so god damn happy and cheerful all the time! Like really. Humans trapped you guys down there for so long and you're telling me that you're not scheming against us."
She was standing and looking him right in the eye sockets.
"So you hate monsters for the simple reason of what you did to us? You're afraid that humans will get what's coming to them. That's funny."
Evalyn closed the space in-between them and he bent over so that she could see the full extent of his grin. When their faces were inches apart, she felt the air and room turn until someone burst into the room.
"Miss! Oh, whoops am I interrupting something?"
Evalyn jumped back and pushed the monster out of the way.
"What do you want?"
"The young savior Frisk is asking for Gaster, saying that they have to go."
"Ahh, thank you, ma'am. I'll be seeing you around Ms. Evalyn."
He left the room and Evalyn almost threw a fit. Her co-worker steps in and shuts the door with a slice of cake in hand.
"Hmm, it looks like someone is closing the gap between monsters and humans in a different way."
"It would be a cold day in all 9 levels of hell before that happens."
"Don't be shy about it. I've seen a few monsters that I thought were cute myself."
Evalyn shoved the co-worker out of the way, clocked out and spent the rest of the day at home.
Author's Note:
I wrote this a LONG time ago as a part of one-shot stories about Undertale. However coming back to it, I'm like "hmm... I can really flesh this one out." I don't like long stories, but I'm going to try to make it between 5 - 10 chapters... Who am I writing this to? Does anyone still read Undertale fanfiction lol.
