Gem's View:

I don't know why i've brought myself to trust this boy so quick. I answered every one of his questions. But i found out as much about him as he did me.

His favorite color was a warm brown, his favorite food was cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting, he loved the smell of pine and cranberry, he loved to drink cream soda, and he also sang, like me, except he played guitar and piano.

That surprised me about him. Who would have thought a kid like him, could play and instrument.

As i drifted off I leaned against him. I think he could be a good friend. I had never let anyone but Stone get this emotionally close to me. But these past few days have probably been the best in a while.

I was glad to call Aiden my new 'friend'.

I felt him shaking me awake and my eyes snapped opened and he covered my mouth with his hand and held his finger to his lips. His brown eyes were wide with fear and he had our bags in his one hand by a strap.

I gave him a small nod and sat up.

I noticed that his coat was in my lap. I felt my face heat and I tossed his coat to him.

I quickly put my coat on and as I did so I heard voices outside.

My hands shook as I slung my bag over my shoulder with a hiss.

We hadn't had the best experience with monsters so far.

Aiden had a fire in his brown eyes, making them dark. His blond hair reflected the little light that came through the window. He dumped the berries from his hat and into his bag real quick and he put his hat back on.

I had to admit that Toriel did get his style right. The coat, the hat, everything fit with HIM.

He grabbed the chair from where it was wedged under the door knob and dragged it away.

The voices were REALLY close. Nearly outside the door. I could make out some of what they were saying.

"MD said there were humans! And look at all the tracks!" A male voice chirped, his voice laced with excitement.

"But what if they're hurt?" A quieter voice, female, chimed.

Aiden grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes, Amber meeting Chocolate.

We shared a nod. I trembled as the door swung open.

Two monsters stood outside the door. I dashed, my hand still In Aidens, dragging him with me.

We ran. Well…. For about ten yards.

I suddenly felt very cold despite my coat and I froze mid run.

"Running? That's not very Ice." A voice laughed.

A tear rolled down my cheek as I began to panic. Is this how we end? Killed my monsters. I clenched my teeth as tears rolled down my cheek. The world faded to black and white as desperation filled my eyes.

"Sans you didn't start a fight did you?!"

"No! It must have been one of t-" the Males voice was cut off as I took a step towards him, despite the weight I felt.

"Wha-" Another step. More weight came crashing down and I collapsed. The world came back color. I was to weak.

"Core! See! These humans are dangerous." 'Sans' Snapped.

The voice I assumed was 'Core' spoke again. I curled up and put my hands over my head, trembling. Thoughts raced through my head.

This is the end isn't it? I'll never see mom, or Stone or my Step-dad again. I've failed them. I've failed Aiden.

"They're afraid." She growled back. I felt a bony hand on my shoulder. I tensed under the touch. I bit back a whimper.

"Let's take them back to your dad." Core's voice sounded from above. "They need help"

The pressure and weight lifted and i let out a gasp before curling into a tight ball.

"Gem!" I heard Aiden's voice call. It sounded far, like he was on one end of a tunnel and I was on the other side.

I heard the faint bickering of the two monsters.

"Aiden?" I reached out blindly, curling my head under my other arm as far as I could. The snow stung my face, but I didn't care.

I felt his warm hand grasp mine and I looked up at him.

"Gem it's okay…." He tried to calm me. I was afraid.

I held on to his arm tightly. He was the anchor.

The tunnel became shorter, and i could see through the tears.

The snow crunched as The two monsters turned and looked back at us. A blue glow filled the clearing and i let out and involuntary squeak of fear.

"Relax, just a little light." 'Sans' Grunted.

As the light brightened i saw them clearly.

They were not ordinary monsters. They were skeletons.

A small, short one stepped forward.

"It's okay." she murmured.

She was wearing a white shirt under a red, hoodless zip-up sweater and a long light blue scarf, that matched her eye lights. She wore dark gray pants and a pair of white sneakers.

The bony hand she extended to us had a green wristband around the wrist.

I scrambled back away from her, knocking Aiden over in the process. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him protectively as I snatched my knife out of my pocket.

"Don't be scared….We won't turn you in." Core whispered softly. She turned to her companion. "RIGHT, Sans." She growled.

I glanced at Sans. He was a skeleton also.

But he wore a black shirt, with something sciency printed on it, under a navy blue sweater with white fur along the trim of the hood, much like my own jacket. He wore a pair of black basketball shorts with a white stripe down the sides. He had on a black pair of converse with fluffy pink socks. He had a look to him, like he could crack a joke but also say something super smart at the same time.

"Yeah…." Sans grunted, looking down at his fluffy socks.

"And why should we trust you?" Aiden growled. I looked up at him. His eyes looked as if they could start a fire, his lips were pulled into a snarl, showing his teeth, and his face was flushed red, with both anger, and cold.

"Please...we won't hurt you...we were just...Curious! We heard there were humans and i didn't want them hurt!" Core told us, reaching another hand out as she crouched to our level.

Aiden and I eyed her nervously. I decided to set my knife down and hold that hand out cautiously out to her, since Aiden still gripped my other wrist.

Her bony hand touched mine and I flinched. She pulled me towards her a bit, earning a growl from Aiden.

"Your different…." She tilted her head and blinked at me. I blinked back.

She turned to Sans.

"We have to get them out of the cold before they freeze. Can we shortcut back?" As Core asked Sans this, I removed my hand from hers.

Sans stepped forward with a nod. He reached his bony hand out to us.

"Grab my hand. And don't let go." He ordered, his eye lights shining with seriousness.

I looked up at Aiden and he looked down at my. His mouth was a line and his eyes were narrowed. I gave him a small nod and he repeated the action.

Together, we reached out and grabbed the older skeletons hand.

"Okay, now don't let go." Sans told them, grabbing Core with his other hand.

Then there was a flash of light and we were gone.

Well, Merry Christmas! Here's a Chapter.

I have a question?

Should i also make a point of view from a person at the surface? If so...Who?

Anyway's as always, if you have any tips or advice, let me know! It's always welcome!
