Chapter 6: Snow, Blood and Dino Dad

Aidens view

As soon as she was through the door, i pulled on her arm, dragging her away from the door, and where Toriel was trying to reach for us.

Gem stumbled and looked down at her arm.

"That freaking hurts." I heard her say to herself.

I glanced down at her arm and my eyes widened. The burn must have caught on a rock. It was now bleeding. Badly.

I grabbed her coat from where it was wrapped around her waist and tried to get it on her.

"Gem, get your coat on! I'll look at your arm soon." I hissed trying to drag her away from the Ruins.

She dug her feet into the ground and dropped her school bag and dug through it to grab the leggings.

"C'mon we have to get away!" I yelled at her, trying to get her to listen.

I watched as she slowly wrapped her arm with a piece of legging she ripped off.

I opened my mouth to tell her the needed to put the knot over the wound but she stood and put her coat on. Then her bag.

"No! Gem! Aiden! Come back! I'm sorry for hurting you! I didn't mean it! It was an accident! Please come back! I can't let them kill you!" Toriel screeched, trying to push the door open more.

"I'm tired….and cold…." Gem mumbled starting to shiver. I felt her sleeve and the coat sleeve was soaked.

"C'mon, just keep walking." I grabbed my hand, trying to get her to walk.

"No! No! Come back!" Toriel wailed as we walked away. Her wails echoed through the trees like and owls screech.

We walked for a few minutes and i heard a crack. I whipped around and Gem fumbled for her knife.

She flicked it out.

"I won't let nothin hurt you…" She mumbled.

After she said that to me, i felt my face redden. She was in shock from blood probably didn't mean it or didn't care but i couldn't help smiling at her.

"I won't let anything hurt you either, not as long as i'm here." I said, my hand tightening around hers, wondering if i meant my own words.

Gem took the knife back, against my protests(which i doubt she heard.)

Every step we took, i felt more and more worried about her. She would lean more and more against me.

"You're warm…" She mumbled at one point.

This was not the Gem i knew. Not the Gem i…'like.' It was weird, not having her attitude or her witty comments. And I was surprising she was tolerating me helping her.

We finally approached something other than snow. A bridge. A really tiny one.

Gem mumbled something before going limp. My eyes widened and i stumbled, not prepared.

"Gem!" i cried, trying to wake her up.

A shadow caught my eye and i whipped around, my eyes burning with hatred and fear.

I was on edge and I wasn't going to let anything hurt Gem.

"Come out! Show yourself!" I yelled, my voice shaking.

A figure stepped out of the trees.

It was a dinosaur looking creature with dark yellow scales.. It had no arms and scars on its had broken teeth and looked like he was a war veteran of somesort. But he had pity in his eyes. I was guessing he was a father.

"No need for the Hostility." he told me. Glancing at the gun in my belt. He didn't know that it was for show. I used that as my advantage.

I growled, narrowing my eyes at it. I reached for the empty gun.

"Why should i trust you," i snarled, my eyes dark.

"I can help your friend." he motioned with his tail to across the bridge.

I couldn't narrow my eyes anymore so i just glared.

"We have stuff in Snowdin that could help her." He took a step towards me. I took a step back.

After what happened with Toriel, i wasn't trusting him. And if Flowey wanted to kill us, who's to say This dino doesn't

"Hold on kid. No need to be scared." he told me in a calm voice. Was that worry in his voice? Another step forward.

Another step back.

I picked Gem up in a carry that would allow me to run.

I did what i thought was best for her and ran into the forest.

"Wait!" the dino yelled. I could hear him chasing after me.

I couldn't run as fast as i probably could with Gem but i was determined.

I eventually out ran him. By now Gem woke up but was only half awake. She was mumbling things like..

"Leave me alone Stone" or "put the camera away mom."

I found an old wooden shack. I had trouble with opening the door but when i did, warm air rushed out. I quickly hurried in and set Gem down, freeing my hands so i could shut the door and drag one of the chairs from a table and wedging it under the door handle.

I leaned against the wall, sliding down to sit with my knees folded close to me. I crossed my arm over my knees and rested my head on them.

"Aiden? Where are you?" Gem mumbled from where she was.

"I'm here." I told her, my voice cracking.

"Good…." I heard her mumble again before going silent.

I looked up at her.

I had to get that cut cleaned and taken care of. She's lost a lot of blood. I had to keep as many risks away as possible. Including infection.

I crawled over to her, careful not to stand or go anywhere near the window. I had learned a few things from Jack and my Brother.

I carefully took her coat off of her. The right sleeve was soaked and sticky. I set it aside quickly and grabbed her arm gently and unwrapped the piece of legging Gem had used as a bandage.

The burn was originally just on the back of her forearm, next to her elbow. But the cut from the stone ripped it open and widening it and deepeding it.

I thought for a moment.

What could i do?

And then it hit me.

Almost a year ago, i had decided to start keeping a first aid kit in my school bag since everyone in our little group always ended up getting hurt in some way or another.

I had my school bag when i fell.

I scrambled to where i dropped my bag.

"Where is it! Where is it!" i hissed, digging through my bag and throwing things out of it.

I spotted it at the bottom and snatched it up with relief

I scrambled back over to Gem and grabbed the ruined legging from her bag.

I had bandages, sure, but this could cover the bandages, putting more pressure on the wound.

I opened the small box, finding some little pads that are used to clean the wounds.

I was glad i had bought extra to put in this little box because one little package wasnt going to do it.

My hands shook as i opened one and began to get the grit and dirt from Gems arm.

She shifted with a groan, trying to pull her arm away.

"I'm Sorry Gem." I kept saying as i cleaned it.

I pulled out a roll of gauze wrapped the now clean wound with it.

Then i ripped a strip of fabric off the legging Gem had ripped before and wrapped it with that to.

More pressure on the wound, less bleeding.

I put what was left of the first aid supplies away. I took my coat off and laid it over Gem like it was a blanket.

I put my wrist on the head of the shivering girl.

"No fever. You're just cold." i said out loud.

I grabbed her coat and looked around to see if there was any water in the little shack. I crawled over to the counter and smiled as i saw the little sink. I bagan running the water and was instantly splashed in the face with freezing water.

Water dripped from my shaggy blond hair and into my eyes.

With a frown i began trying to wash the blood out of her jacket.

Once i was done i laid it on the ground.

My hands shook from the cold and my fingers were numb. But i was glad i did that.

I sat down near Gem and tried to warm up my hands.

"Aiden?" I heard her mumble.

"I'm Still here." I responded blankly.

"You sound cold." She yawned

"I washed your coat."

"Oh...thanks…"

It was silent for a few moments and i knew she had fallen asleep again.

"Your welcome…" i said out loud.

I was glad i stood up for her finally. Even if it meant i still had to wear these annoying braces.

I shifted them. I let out a yawn.

What time was it? I didn't know. How long had it been since the ruins.

I had no idea.

I rested my chin to my chest and began to doze off to sleep.

…

….

…..

I was sitting in class. Jake next to me and Ella at his side.

"Did you hear?" Jake asked my, flicking my arm.

"What?" I asked, blowing my blond hair out of my eyes.

"That freak tried to kill herself again." Ella answered for him, studying her newly painted nails.

I froze.

"Again?" I echoed. I always felt bad for her. I didn't want to hurt her. And i didn't like the fact she hurt herself.

"Yeah, she got a hold of some kind of knife. Her brother gave it to her i think. Ha! Even he wanted her to do that!" Jake laughed.

I frowed, staring down at my hands, folded on my desk.

"Your not sad, are you Den den." Ella cooed, using the name my brother used to annoy me as a kid.

I glared at her.

"Why can't you every give her a break?" I snapped, crossing my arms.

Ella rolled her eyes while Jake punched my arm.

"Why should we?" Jake laughed. I wished i could help her….but i can't…

The dream changed to when i first met Gem. i don't think she remembered. It was the day of the talent show and i found her crying.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Why do you care?" She snapped back, tugging her hair out of it's small ponytail, letting her hair cover her face.

I just shrugged and held out my hand to help her up. She reluctantly agreed.

"Tell me?" i asked, my eyes pleading.

"Ella...she..she's not my friend anymore." She said, crossing her arms.

I froze. Ella. Jakes so called 'Girlfriend.'

This was the girl they talked about. The 'Freak'. I smiled at her one more time, not sure what to expect.

"Um...That bad. Well, i have to go now." i said quickly, regretting every word. I had wanted to stay and give her a hug. I wanted to help her but i was also scared. If i helped her My brother and Jake would be after me.

As i turned and walked away quickly i heard her.

"Oh….okay…" I heard her whisper. I wanted to apologize and i didn't.

I'm a terrible person.

I wish i had been nicer. I wish i had been braver.

But i am glad i fell with her.

That i wouldn't have changed at all.

So i decided i'm going to alternate P.O.V's between Gem and Aiden. and the Dino with no arm was MK's Dad. i don't remember if MK had parents in Undertale but i'll find out soon and that will decide the Dino's fate. and again, if you have any tips let me know.

i will also have a poll on my profile about this story
