Chapter 1
Spirit's eyes fluttered open as her senses slowly returned to her. She lifted her head weakly and looked around. Something seemed off, but she couldnt quite place what it was. She remembered a little bit of what happened. Dr. Alphys had chosen her for a test... it was for something called "determination". She remembered being the last test subject. The others failed. She was put in a strange looking machine before blacking out. And then she woke up here. She tried standing up, but her legs trembled and she fell. She felt her HP go down by 1 point. She decided to check her stats. She was shocked to see she only had 2 HP. I need to be more careful, she thought. Spirit's ears perked up as she heard someone approaching. She froze. "Need a hand buddy?" The voice came from behind her. Her tail and wings twitched. "Heh. I'll take that as a yes." She lay still as she felt her soul be lifted up and her body slowly followed. She was slowly set down into a skeleton's arms. She felt a little embaressed having to rely on someone else for safety, but appreciated it anyway. She instictively leaned back a little, showing she was a little more relaxed. She slowly drifted off into a deep slumber.
Spirit woke up on a couch with a blanket on top of her. She checked her stats again and noticed her HP was now 100 again. Glad I dont have to worry about THAT anymore. But who was the skeleton who rescued me..? she thought, shifting uncomfortably. "Look who's finally up. And I thought I was the lazy one." She rolled over to see that skeleton again. She knew it was him because she recognized his blue jacket. She sat up. "Thanks for rescuing me and all... but who exactly are you?" she asked, with a little more caution then she would have liked. "Oh, right. The names Sans. Sans the skeleton. And you?" he said. "I'm Spirit." "That actually makes sense, considering you were DYING to know my name" Oh my god. Did he just make a pun??? But it WAS kinda clever. And this isnt the first near death experience I've had, she thought. "Anyway, I have an old jacket in the closet if you want it. The thing won't fit me anymore. But since you're so small, I think it'll be big on you. She looked down and realized she WAS that small. She could see her ribs plain as day, along with multiple scars. Her fur was matted and tangled, despite how short it was. She decided to take a look at her soul. She was surprised it wasn't the same. For starters, it was right side up, instead of upside down like a monster soul should be. And it was red. She clearly remebered her soul being white before the determination experiment. Does this mean the experiment was a sucess? she thought. "Never seen a monster with a human soul before. How did ya manage that fluffy?" he said, looking at her with amusement in his eyes. "I don't know! It wasn't like this before," she said, "Anyway I'm going to look around the house for a bit. See ya later Sans!" Spirit felt a shiver run down her spine as she walked away. She passed a table with a bunch of sheet music on it. She picked one up and looked at it. It read "Megalovania by Sans". I didnt know he wrote music. Anyway I kinda wanna try this song, but it looks so hard! I guess I'll give it a shot, she thought, Its violin though... Where am I supposed to find a violin around here?? Maybe Sans has one around here somewhere? Spirit checked the door nearby. She quickly realized it was a closet, as it was filled with white T-Shirts and blue jackets. None of them looked her size, except one. She took it out and slipped it on. This is a pretty comfy jacket. Now back to finding a violin... she thought. "Looking for something Snowy?" Spirit jumped as Sans appeared right in front of her. "Sorry I scared you, but seriously, are you looking for something?" he asked. "Um, actually yes. I found this composistion you wrote and i wanted to try playing it. But i need a violin." she said. "Oh ok. I'll be back," Sans said as he teleported away again. He reappeared with a violin case in his arms. "Knock yourself out fluffy. I couldn't play this to save my life" "Thanks Sans." "No problem. Besides, I'm more of a trombone guy anyway." Spirit took the violin out of it's case and realized he was right. It looked almost brand new, apart from a scratch or two. She held it for a second, and began to play.
