Chapter 3: Conflict Time
Ebott Ville, Peace Memorial Central Park, 1 year 7 months after the release of monsters and magic back in the world.
"FRISK DREEMURR STOP RIGHT THERE!" Ok now I´m
ROYALLY screwed
Toriel stood right next to the king.
And she was LIVID.
**"Fuck this shit I´m out."
Chara don´t leave me i´m scared! Didn´t you say that you´ll be there for me when I need you? I said sarcastically to my soul-mate but she seemed not to realize this.
**"No no you got it all wrong, if you bring shit upon yourself and by that I mean getting mom mad at you, you sure as heck are alone and-"
"Frisk" a stern and concerned voice rang through and the human policemen that were not used to the tone from the ex queen just shivered in fear.
"Frisk" she said more calmly, "Please, I believe that you have a good reason to protect this…" she seemed to hesitate a little "creature, but you don´t know what kind of danger it- "
"STOP" Ok I should not rise my voice to my mom but I have been through enough therapies to know that I cannot bottle up my anger. And come on, I´m tired, drenched, my hair is dripping wet and my feet are burning and maybe I´m a little mad at my family trying to kill an innocent person.
**"UGH Frisk what the actual HELL?"
I ignored her too. I don´t remember the last time I defied them this way "Do not call him creature ever again." Ok, now I remember it was when mom wanted me to stay in the Ruins for the rest of my life and Chara was fine with that arrangement, not wanting to defy her authority. Yeah that thought will really help with the anger building up.
"Whatever did he do to deserve immediate execution? I´m sure that any of you would really execute another living being in front of thousands of viewers" I told them as I pointed at the camera that was still live streaming and that was what made the both of them take a step back.
I left the ex couple with that thought and turned again to Mr. Higgsbury.
Actually he seemed to completely ignore the situation he was in and judging by how he was aiming to jump at a dove that drew near to the commotion the black cat-like friend was starving.
"Mr. Higgsbury remember what happened the last time you tried to eat a bird" that halted him and he looked at me guiltily "That´s what I thought, ok come here" I reached out for him, he smelled my hand and nuzzled it a bit.
Pet, pat, pet, pot.
Prrr prrr prrr
*Shadow King is glad at the petting but looks like he is in need of a can of tuna… or twenty…
*YOU WON
*You earned 0 XP and 0 gold.
Huh? Shadow King?
**"Shadow King what does that mean?"
I… I don't know.
"Frisk please.", "Frisk… for the love of the angel stop touching it" pleaded the ex couple but they did not expect that I would not pay any mind at them and by that time the… Shadow King? Was with his tummy facing the sky and begging/mewing to be pet and by the angel I could not resist such cuteness.
Pet, pat, pet, pot, pat.
Prrr prrr prrr….
Hehe so cute
Ok it looks like that's enough for you.
**"Fricking finally"
Sorry, I will explain when I am 100% sure that no one will attack him, I just want to show them that he means no harm
Ugh she is mad at me now. But before I could try and making up to her somehow I saw movement in my rearview and tensed up immediately, ok something orange?
"MY LITTLE HUMAN FRIEND PLEASE, I´M SURE THAT KING ASGORE DIDN´T WANT TO APPROACH THEM WITH MURDERY INTENTIONS, BUT I DON´T KNOW IF IT IS GOOD FOR YOU TO BE TOUCHING THIS BLACK GOOPY CAT-LIKE FRIEND OF YOURS REMEMBER THAT GOOPY THINGS AND HUMANS DON'T MIX WITH EACH OTHER" It seems someone remembers when I got sick after eating some cup noodles on sale that he bought from a human store but were past their expiration date and were goopy already, yikes. Papyrus was approaching us slowly but wary of the shadow´s being movements and when I turned at him I saw Sans just behind him with eye sockets almost devoid of his normal eye lights and ready to reach for the tall skeleton and teleport them away if needed.
"YES PUNK! WHAT PAPYRUS SAID, IF THE KING SAYS THAT YOU SHOULD NOT TOUCH IT YOU BETTER LISTEN!" added the shouting wet fish woman. Her tone actually made the shadowy one ears perk but otherwise he remained on the ground. Wonder why Papyrus´ voice did not affect him and Undyne´s did… gotta ask him.
**"And how are you planning on doing that smartass if he is not sentient"
He is sentient! Actually he is the most intelligent person I have ever met!
**"And then why he has not defended himself?! Or told them to stop, or, I don´t know something? But you´re not paying attention to me so fuck it"
And she was right, not because I don´t care about her input to the situation but how can I speak to her even in my mind when not only the eyes of my family but maybe the whole state is watching us right now.
**"Sometimes I hate not to be corporeal, but yeah you´re right you can´t keep this up so do whatever you need to do and let´s go home."
Hehe right away, pal.
While petting I felt something sticky? In the right side of his belly…
ok let´s see…
Blood.
Blood.
He had a wound from the right side of his torso and by the looks of it; it spreads to his back, I´m not so sure with his goopy consistency right now. We need to put him to sleep somehow so he can transform back.
Hopefully.
"Frisk, that creature is very dangerous and must be dealt with immediately, please stand aside and let me put him out of his misery" It looks like Asgore got back his ability of speech, but did not dare to step ahead and remove me himself.
Everyone around me looked at varying degrees of displeasure, anxiety, anger and disbelief for the ones I could recognize, they are going to get me grounded for life after this. But as an answer I just sighed long and unsteady.
**"Frisk, he is being serious about this, don't make him mad if you don´t want a trident through your tummy, again"
Stop the "again" comments! Do you think that I don't remember?And he would not do it right? At this I started to tremble.
**"OK, ok calm down!"
Calm down; CALM DOWN what if I can protect him what if… huh…
**"Look here-"
Shhh Chara silence!
**"WHAT!?"
Z
He fell asleep…
It´s not like she could be heard outside my head but the first thing my mind would reason is to silence every source of noise. The spirit stilled at my words anyways and watched the dark being breath slowing and purring when my hand touched his body. All the present gasped when his shadow form dissolved in wisps of odorless grayish smoke…
A very sun burnt skin appeared below the wisps of smoke, hair style… did not change even with the transformation, his eyes were closed, his size shrunk a little from his shadowy form his clothes were in rags but one could discern a blood soaked red vest, black pants, but above all the most important feature is that without the shadows… absorbing, encasing? His body he had all the features of a 30 or so year old human male.
I allowed a smile at his sleeping form.
"Hungry…."
**"…"
Ok that´s a start.
