Kris turns and looks at me again. Not with the same expression as before. But a smile. Well, now that Toriel is back, I wanted to ask her a few questions. I tell Kris this and head off down the hall.
Kris starts following me and for a second I am very confused. I realise as he keeps going after I stop that he was just heading to his room. I guess he wants to be left alone.
"Ms.Toriel?"
"Yes, child?"
"Why did you let me stay with you? For all you knew, I was a thief."
"Child, I had a feeling about you. I knew from the moment Kris brought you in that you were a good person. The way he looked at you made me sure of it."
My child, aren't you tired? Please go rest. We don't have any spare beds, but please, take a chair in the living room."
I can't but feel like something's wrong. Cecilia won't answer her phone, and she always answered her phone. I know that Dad would protect them, but they would have called me by now.
I lay back into the brown chair next to the TV. It was so soft.
Next thing I know, I wake back up. I got up out of the chair, but I start falling. All i'm seeing is white. Bleach white. I start screaming for help. For anyone.
But Nobody Came.
I woke up to the concerned and kind faces of Kris and Toriel respectively.
"My child, are you alright? We heard you yelling and came to check up on you."
"Yes, I'm fine, just a nightmare."
She looks at me in disbelief, but continues.
"Well, child, I would like to inform you of some good news. You will be getting to stay with us for a while. Aren't you excited?"
"...Yes."
"Great! My child, please get some rest. Today is your first day of school, and you really need sleep, do you not?"
"Yeah. Thank you mom."
"Of course, my child."
"Goodnight."
And so I went back sleep.
