So yeah, I added some more to the preview or whatever that thing I posted was. I wanted to rewrite the chapter, but didn't cuz I didn't want to take a year for one chapter. So yeah, I also have no idea what to name this chapter. Um, enjoy.

Chapter 13: I Dunno, you make up the title.

We were still a good several miles away from the city, and the sun was almost completely gone. Mel was already asleep in my arms, and most of the group looked exhausted. "Hey guys, it's gonna take a while to get to the city, we should rest."

Mom was the one to reply, "It's okay my child, we can make it to the city. It's only a little ways to go, right?"

They haven't traveled on foot like this for who knows how long, they needed some rest. "The city's still several long miles away. I don't care if you guys think you'll be able to make it, we're stopping to rest right now." I got some disappointed looks, but I went on. "Look, I know when someone can go on, and when someone needs to take a break. You guys definitely need a break." I was determined to set up for the night, whether they wanted to or not.

Chara took one look at me, and knew I wasn't backing down. "C'mon guys, we're not winning this battle. Besides, I need a chocolate break."

I heard sighs of defeat from everyone in the group. They wanted to see the city, but I could tell that they also wanted to sit down for a while. I smiled, "This way, I know a place." I had them follow me to a clearing that I found with Mel on our way up Mt. Ebott. It had enough space for all of us to spread out, and it had a perfect view of the stars.

I carefully lay Mel down under a tree, and let the others get situated. Since it was a pretty chilly, I decided to gather things for a fire. I wanted to make sure nobody got a cold from their first night on the surface. So I started picking up anything that could be used for a fire. I stepped over this one root to get a branch, and immediately took a nosedive down to something close to a small cliff, clothes getting torn and me getting hurt. The small cliff was steep, but didn't go too far from the clearing, so I could probably make it back to the clearing. When I stopped falling, I just lay there, hurting pretty badly. And I could only do one thing, so I whispered, "Ouch..."

I could see the top of the mini cliff and the skull that peeked over it, "uh kid, are you still alive? please be alive." I raised an arm and set it back down. I heard a sigh of relief, "thank asgore. good, i'll be there in a sec, ok?" I gave a thumbs up, and Sans was right next to me, pulling me up onto my feet. "don't do that again, ya had me worried. besides, you still have to talk to the humans for us." I gave him a look, and he quickly said, "and you're my best friend."

I didn't break anything from the fall, but my whole body ached. "Well, it's not like I wanted to fall down a mini cliff, hit a few trees, and end up with a few cuts and a sprained ankle. And I could never just abandon everyone like that... you guys are my family, everything I have."

"awww, you can't go all sentimental like that, it kinda makes it harder to talk to you about the thing." Sans brought us back to the clearing in seconds, "c'mon, let's get ya patched up."

I sat down on the log he motioned to, "What thing are we talking about right now?"

He handed me a cinnamon bunny from my satchel, "oh, ya know, where your biological parents are and what they did to you when you were with them." I almost choked on my cinnamon bunny, but managed to keep a straight face and be silent. "you always wore that tank top to bed. and i always saw the scars, but i never said anything. i never said anything because you'd always push me away when i mentioned something from your past, and because you seemed so happy without anyone knowing anything about your past. but now we're on the surface, and your past is waiting to meet you again. i don't know how bad those people were, but you can't go back to them. even though you promised to stay with us, they could always try to take you away. so, tell ol' sansy all about those mean people, or i can keep an eye on you 24/7. which will it be?" He was serious about this.

I swallowed the last bit of the cinnamon bunny, and I prepared my excuse. "My parents were good people. They could never hurt a fly, and they loved me and Mel with all their hearts. The took good care of us, always making sure we were smiling, always making sure we were content with how things were. I don't know how it started, but I got bullied. I only ever had one true friend all my life, but she had to move to a different state. It was then that people started teasing and hurting me, everybody hated everything about me, and I didn't know why. One day, a group of girls and boys came up to me, they offered to be my friends. I was lonely, hurting, I desperately wanted people to talk to. So I happily accepted their offer." I took a deep breath, making it seem like it was hard to talk about it. So far, Sans was buying it. "One day, I came to school happy, and excited to talk to my 'good' friends. I don't know what I did wrong, or if I even did anything, but they did everything that's engraved on my back. That was my last day of school there... and that's also the day my parents died. There was some accident while they were coming to pick me and Mel up from school." I looked at Sans, forcing tears to spill down my face. He believed every word, and pulled me close. I continued with my extravagant lie, "They were just getting things for my birthday, y'know?" I did a few sniffles, and he held me tighter. "Anyway, they died that day, and left me and my sister alone. We were supposed to be put in foster homes and whatever, but they were going to take Mel away from me. So I took her and ran, I didn't know where I was going or what I was going to do, but I ran away with her. I started homeschooling her to the best of my abilities, took care of her the best I possibly could, and made sure she didn't grow up so fast. And a year or few later, I'm right here with you guys." I didn't like lying to the lov- the bestest friend I ever had, but no one could know about my past. Well, excluding Chara, Alphys, and Mettaton. By the way, am I an awesome actress or what?

"sorry kid, i just needed to know the truth. you know i'll always be there for you though, even if you don't think you can come to me, i'll be there." I agreed, so I nodded. "you can set up that fire of yours, but then you have to get some rest. got it?" I nodded my stupid, little, deceitful head. "kay, i'm gonna hit the hay now." He gave me a peck on the cheek, "night, love ya frisk."

"Night Sans, love you too." Ok heart, I know what you're thinking, but Sans isn't in love with me. We're good friends, friends say 'love ya' to each other, that love didn't count. And then my heart says, 'But Frisk, he's never ever said it like this before. It's always been a pat on the head, or a hug. This time, he gave you a kiss!' And since me and my heart could go back and forth forever, I block it out. But when the brain and heart start talking, it gives me a headache. My brain says, 'Shut up heart! Sans just gave her a kiss because of her sob story. We both know he never woulda done it if the story was happy, he only felt bad for the pathetic thing.' And when they start getting into me and my patheticness, I have to block it out, or else I'd go crazy.

"Heya partner, you look like you're thinkin pretty hard." Chara was right beside me, wanting something from me. "Y'know, I'm tryin to figure out why in the hell, did you lie to Sans? I mean, me and the other two already know what happened up here. They only know about those scars, not about the abuse or anything like that, but they know something. And, Sans is your best friend, the person you tell everything to. So why, did you not tell him about those people?!" That's what she wanted, an answer.

"Hush, they could overhear." She wasn't loud enough for someone to overhear, but it still scared me that someone could hear. I brought her as far away from the group as possible, "Look, if I told Sans the real deal, he'd kill someone. The last time someone hurt one of his friends or family, someone died. The friends and family that got hurt, actually died. The person who died, was you and me. What those people did to me, was worse than killing me. So no, I didn't tell him. Because had I told him, he would've hunted those people down, murdered them, and then we'd have another monster human war. We all need to live peacefully, so I'm not telling anyone anytime soon. Okay?" Chara did not like this idea, I mean, who would? But, she nodded in response. "Good. Now let me start this fire, and go to bed." I gave her a hug, "Night sis, love you."

"Night, love you too." Before we stopped hugging, she whispered, "And don't even think about getting to the city while we're asleep. I'm your sister, I know everything."

I was right at the edge of the city, getting ready to go in. I had snuck away to get here before dawn, I wanted to find the mayor, and talk to them about the monsters on the surface situation. My plan was to explain the situation, ask for materials and stuff for the future town of monsters, ask for the mayor to announce the arrival of monsters before they came, and to make sure that the monsters are treated fairly and all that stuff. But I was hesitating at the edge of the city. I was afraid to go alone, to go where anything could happen to me, to go where I had never been before.

"Snap out of it Frisk. You need to go through that city, march into the mayor's office, and make sure the monsters will be safe forever." I took a deep breath, and started walking. "I can do this, I can do this, I can do this."

I had made it through the city, and to the mayor's estate in one piece. I was now standing in front of a secretary's desk, patiently waiting for the woman to finish her phone call.

She took another minute, and directed her attention to me. "It's pretty late at night for a girl like you to be here. And since it's so late at night, you probably want to get into the mayor's pants for some sort of reason. But right now, he's sleeping. So I suggest you take your pretty little ass out of this building." She was either tired, mad at me for whatever reason, or she's been in this situation too many times before.

"Actually, I'm here to talk to the mayor about a pressing matter," I said politely. She gave me a face that said 'I'm not buying it'. I gave an exasperated sigh, "Okay, I think I know why you think that about me, but I'm here about the monsters that used to be under Mt. Ebott."

She got up and called out, "Security!" She glared at me, "I don't want to see you here again, even if it's only for business. Telling lies like that, if you had set one foot in the underground you'd be dead by now." The security guards came up and it was hard for me to process exactly what was happening, but I had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen. The woman whispered something to the guards and they were taking we away.

Now the gears in my mind were spinning, "Where are you taking me?!" The guards didn't answer, and they had iron grips on me. I tried to keep calm, "If you let me go I can show you proof of what I said," Still nothing. "Please, my family's waiting for me, I can't just disappear on them."

The guards looked like nice guys, and I could see their steps falter. One of the guards had golden blonde hair, tannish skin, and was the same height as the other guard so they were both tall to me. The other guard had honey brown hair, fair skin, and they both looked buff but not super buff. The one with the honey brown hair spoke to me, "We're taking you into custody for sexual assault, at least that's what the lady told us. Sorry, we can't let you go. Your 'family' will have to wait."

"Can I at least show you that I'm not lying? I can show you guys my family, well, my adoptive family." I looked straight into their eyes, using the tears welling up to my advantage, "Please? If I'm not there before they wake, then they'll worry..."

I got two birds with one stone, and in unison they said, "Fine..." The blonde one spoke then, "Just don't try anything funny, or else the lady'll have our heads."

I smiled a small smile, "Don't worry, I'm not like most humans." I took out my phone and went to the gallery, "So if you look here, you'll see that monsters are real. All of the monsters in the underground are my friends and family, and I didn't photoshop this if that's what you're thinking." I scrolled to a picture with me, Sans, Papyrus, Mel, and Mom. I continued my little explanation, "The two skeletons are brothers and my close friends, the goat woman is my adoptive mom, and the other human is my little sister." I scrolled a little more to show where me and Mel fell into the underground, I took pictures of the small area and the hole where we fell. I was sorta prepared for coming to the surface, "And this is where mWee and my sister fell into the underground. No one on the surface knows what the underground looks like, but I do. And these are just a few of many pictures that I took while down there," I looked to the two guards who looked like they were in awe, "So do you guys believe me?"

The guard with honey brown hair asked, "Do you have anymore?" I nodded. They both looked excited, "Can you show us some more? We're... curious, and amazed. Oh, can we ask about them?"

My heart soared, if these guys weren't afraid or disgusted by the monsters, then others might not be either. I smiled a big smile, maybe almost as big as Sans', "Of course! Here's a picture of the ruins, the place where my mom used to live by herself. Oh and this is Snowdin, the place where the brothers and other occupants live. And we can't forget Waterfall, it's one of the most beautiful areas in the underground. See these flowers? Those are echo flowers, if you say something to or nearby it, it'll repeat what it heard. After Waterfall is the Hotlands, that's where the royal scientist resides and where you can get to the entrance of my dad's castle. And then there's the castle, it's beautiful there, but kind of lonely," I turned to see the two guards, millions of questions in their eyes, "Oh, I've been going on too long, you can ask some questions if you want!"

The blonde one asked first, "What are they like? Are they rude and bloodthirsty, or are they actually really gentle?"

"Good question! They're all really kind and gentle, just don't engage in a fight with them, you might be really sore afterwards."

"Do they have any kind of magic? We've heard stories about the war that took place years ago. If they do have magic, what is it?" That's what the brown haired one asked.

"Oh, they do have magic, but they'd never hurt someone with it. They have really advanced attacks that are difficult to dodge, but they also have healing magics where they can, well, heal you! "

The blonde asked a few questions, "How do you know how difficult it is to dodge their attacks? And what about the other humans who fell down there, are they still alive? And one last question, why were you adopted by the monsters?"

Oh boy, I forgot about the other humans who fell down there for a moment. I had to word this carefully, "Well, when I first interacted with the monsters, they thought I was attacking them. So, they attacked me. They didn't want to hurt me, but they thought they had no other choice, and they also kind of needed me to break the barrier leading up here. As for the other humans, they... didn't survive. But not because they were killed by the monsters, they died of natural causes. There was one human to ever fall into the underground, fell gravely ill and died, but we're not including her. The first human went into Snowdin unprepared for the freezing cold. The second human fell into a river in Waterfall, they couldn't swim, so they drowned. The third, they didn't survive the extreme heat in Hotland. The fourth was very violent with some monsters, and the royal guards had to do what they had to so the citizens would be safe. The fifth didn't have any food or something to keep them hydrated. And the sixth accidentally engaged in a fight with a monster, and she didn't survive his few attacks. But then there's me and my sister, we survived because we had... some experience in situations... similar to the ones in the underground." I looked at the guards, they looked sad to hear this news, but they didn't look like they wanted to hurt any of the monsters. I answered the last question, "And me and my sister were adopted because we didn't have a home up here. Our parents died when we were young, and we didn't want to be separated from each other, so we ran away and lived on the streets. After a few years, people found us and tried to take us away from each other, so we ran to Mt. Ebott. And that's when we found our family. So, yeah. Anymore questions?"

I heard a woman's voice, "Yeah, why aren't you out of here yet?"

Yeah, that's all that I added. I'm just starting to write more again, so the chapters might be a little short.

Um, yeah, bye.
