Everything was a blur as she came to, the first thing she registered is the all too quiet atmosphere. Blinking to clear her vision, she started to sit up, holding her head in hopes that the pain would go away.
"HUMAN! ARE YOU ALRIGHT? THE GREAT PAPYRUS DID NOT MEAN TO HURT YOU!" One voice said in a yell. "THE GREAT PAPYRUS DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO! MY BROTHER WILL BE HERE SOON! SO WE SHALL WAIT HEAR IN MY HOU-"
Eyes widening, she searched the area, her mind having finished his sentence before him. Without a word, she dashed to the door. In a fit of panic, she flung open the door only to be stopped by a shorter thing. Mind fogged with fear, she pushed passed the obstacle, wildly searching for her home. Following the faint sound of crying across the street, she took off. Throwing open the door, she ran to the bedroom, picking up the crying baby, lulling her to a quiet whimper.
"I'm hear, I'm hear, shu-" "AAAAAAAA" A high pitched squeal of fear rang through the air, causing the baby in Rebecca's arms to burst into another set of crying.
Rushing to living room, she froze seeing why her sibling was screaming and ran to hide behind her legs. Standing at the door, was two skeletons. One tall and the other short. Snapping out of her momentary shock, she grabbed Thomas by the arm, hoisting him to her back while holding melody with her one arm protectively. Ears ringing from the screams and crys, she walked to the kitchen, slipping Thomas into a kitchen chair, she pulled out her cell, handing it to him.
"Imp, stop, it's alright, here, watch the silly pizza song, your favorite." Rebecca soothed. Grabbing a bag off the counter, she sifted through it, hastily making a baby bottle, then gave it to the baby. "Elf! Come calm imp. Dragon, time to awaken!"
"I'm not an Elf, I'm Joseph." Joseph replied walking out. Walking to the kitchen to comfort the youngest boy. Turning her attention to the two skeletons, she motioned them to come inside. She could tell that the tallest held guilt in his features though she didn't know how.
"Feel free to have a seat." She sight walking to the a side of the living room, searching the boxes with her free hand. Finding the bouncer, she pulled it out and moved it to the middle of the room. Gently, she pried the bottle away, and readjusting till the babe was sitting up near her shoulder. With gently yet firm pats on the baby's back, she checked on the boys while waiting for the baby to burb.
"You two are staring." Rebecca stated quietly. Placing the baby in the bouncer, she set it on low, so melody could bounce with no help.
"HU-" "shhhhhh, please, lower your volume. There has been enough yelling, screaming, and crying." Rebecca interjected with a warning glare towards the skeletons. Her mind mentally noting the look of disapproval from the shorter one.
"I TH-the great papyrus am sorry…" The taller one said in defeat. "I….did not mean to hit you or take you from these kids." Tears formed in his eyes as he sobbed silently. Using his gloves to whip away the tears.
Rubbing her head, she sighed, dragging her hand down to her cheek until it fell limply to her side. "I forgive you. However, I ask that next time, please knock more quietly and be mindful that here may be more than one in a house." Her voice was caring yet held that firm sound of reprimanding she always used with her siblings.
Her features soften seeing the tall skeleton grin. "Papyrus was it?" She asked receiving a eager nod. "Thank you for apologizing to me, but I-" "SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS~ SEND SHIVERS DOWN YOUR SPINE~ SHRIEKING SKULLS WILL SHOCK YOUR SOUL, SEAL YOUR DOOM TONIGHT~"
"Mom-Becca! You're phone ringing." Thomas said running to his sister. Once handing the cell phone to her, he hide behind her legs. "That mom and dad! They come and fight the ghosts!" He said still hiding.
Glancing at the number, she answered. "Hello? This is she- oh I see. Could I please call you back? I have some important matters to attend to. I assure you that I will promptly call you back so we may discuss your work. Alright, yes. Thank you byebye." Ending the call, she promptly turned her attention to her youngest brother. Kneeling to his level, she smiled softly.
"That wasn't mom and dad. That was my work." "your work?" "Yes. Now how about after Becca talk with these two nice….men. Then we unpack okay?" "Noooo, I want mom and daddy." He said, beginning to break down. With a broken heart, she pulled the child into a hug. "Shush shush, it's okay, how about we play a movie? The ghostbusters one." "Noooo, I want coffee." "Coffee, ghostbusters, and grilled cheese?" Rebecca tried. "and…no slime." He sniffed, caused the eldest girl to chuckle. "No, no ghost slime. Now, can you go tickle the elf so I can talk to these nice men?" Watching him closely, she sighed sitting in front of melody who was now asleep.
"Sorry about that." Looking up tiredly, she faked a grin. "We just arrived last night and haven't been able to settle in yet."
"S'kay," the shorter one spoke through his grin. "Its night to meet you." "SANS!"
