A/N: HI everyone. This chapter is a bit earlier than normal due to the fact I am rained in my house at the moment. In case you haven't heard, a hurricane just hit my local area. Now I am safe at the moment and will be fine, but there are many out in other parts of my state that might be. So wish or pray for their safety if you would. Sorry for getting personal there. Anywho, thank you FanFicEssie for following and favoriting this fic.


She wasn't sure if she had heard silence quite so loud. The teen could hear the waterfall that she had crossed ages ago. Kendall braced herself for the inevitable; she clenched her fist in case the skeleton decided to attack. "I didn't intend to decieve you," Searifa muttered lowering her head the frills on her head pressed lower against her head. Kendall wondered if the skeleton would hit the other monster; was there a punishment for treason. Would she step in or would she use the distraction to run? Could she abandon the monster who had been nothing but kind and helpful?

The taller monster was quiet for a moment before smiling wide. "WOWIE, YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD FRIEND. YOU WERE WILLING TO LIE FOR KENDALL," Papyrus replied pulling the reptilian monster into a hug. Searifa's green eyes widened comically as a smile spread widely across her snout. Kendall let go of the breath she didn't realize she was holding. She was more relieved than she thought she would have been. "LYING ISN'T A GOOD THING TO DO, BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR REASONING." Kendall relaxed as she laughed at the short lecture. The skeleton released his hold on the reptilian monster. The chef backed away as both monsters turned their attention to the teen.

"Sorry about that, Pap. I just want to get home," Kendall admitted. The skeleton's dark sockets seemed to burn a hole through her; he could probably see right through her. He could see what she had done and that made Kendall feel sick. "I-I am sorry," she repeated her tone softer as a lump formed in her throat. "You are both so nice and I don't deserve it." Searifa and Papyrus looked at each other confused like they couldn't understand why she would think such a thing. "I dusted so many monsters and yet you are still helpful."

"YOU MAY HAVE HURT A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS GOOD IN YOUR SOUL. I BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN BE GOOD," Papyrus declared as he smiled. Searifa nodded in agreement with his statement.

Kendall could feel what felt like a chill shiver down her back like something crawling down her back. "I wasn't even a nice person before I fell," she shouted. She didn't know why she said it. She just didn't want to see those understanding expressions. She just felt horrible and their kindness wasn't helping. Maybe a part of her wanted them to hate her, to see her for what she was.

"The person you were before you fell isn't our concern or even who we are helping. The person you can become is who we are helping. You may have not been a kind person when you fell, but you can be a kinder one now," Searifa said with a smile.

Kendall sighed holding out the bag of food in her hands; it was clear that she had lost this argument. "It might be a little cold," she replied as the monster took it from her fingers.

"It was very kind of you to buy this for me," the reptilian monster replied as she reached into the bag, her tone was a little too smug for Kendall's liking.

Kendall blinked at the monster as she opened the container she had gotten. Searifa seemed to sniff the steam with a discerning look."I didn't think of it like that," the teen admitted the previous guilt easing slightly to a different more warm feeling.

"I AGREE WITH SEARIFA. YOU COULD HAVE JUST RAN AWAY INSTEAD OF HELPING. WOWIE, OUR FRIENDSHIP IS ALREADY DOING WONDERS," Papyrus cheered as both human and monster grinned as well.

Kendall rolled her eyes, "You two are crazy, but the good kind of crazy." She couldn't keep the smile off of her face.

"I prefer the term optimistic," Searifa replied as she closed the now empty container of food. Kendall looked at the reptile in disbelief; the monster sure could eat. "I believe that I am ready to move on."

"THE NEXT CAVERN IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT KENDALL." Something told Kendall that the skeleton would probably say that about just about every place in the Underground. Papyrus marched toward the room that Kendall just came from and Searifa followed behind. Kendall walked behind both monsters who stopped at the edge of the new cavern.

They both looked up at the shining ceiling. "Kendall, this is the Wishing Room. I am not familiar with human customs, but monsters used to wish upon the stars," Searifa began her green eyes focused on the lights above, "We no longer have the stars, but we do have the crystals."

"BUT DON'T WORRY. WISHES ON CRYSTALS COME TRUE TOO," Papyrus said posing heroically. "I WISHED FOR MORE FRIENDS AND I MET YOU TWO." Kendall could feel her chest warm at the statement. The skeleton seemed so enthusiastic that the teen had to agree that they were sort of friends. "WHAT DO YOU WISH FOR?"

Kendall looked up at the cold lights above as she tried to think. She couldn't believe that the crystals would grant wishes, but both monsters were looking at her with expectations. She bit her bottom lip nervously; what did she want, what can she possibly wish for. "I just wish to see my family again," she whispered softly. She hadn't really thought of it, but she did miss her family. She missed her sister and her parents. Would they look for her? Would they miss her and wished that she hadn't gone on that camping trip.

"And you will," Searifa said putting a hand on the teen's shoulder which broke her depressing spiral. Kendall looked at the sympathic eyes/ eyesockets of the two monsters.

"KING ASGORE IS A BIG FUZZY PUSHOVER. IF YOU JUST GO UP TO HIM AND ASK HIM, HE WILL LET YOU WALK BACK TO THE SURFACE," Papyrus clarified. Kendall didn't want to doubt the skeleton, but she knew that people disappeared on Mount Ebbott. The two of them just talked about a human that was already killed down here.

"You may not believe so, but King Asgore does have a kind heart. He is not beyond reason," Searifa reassured. The teen wanted to groan at the hopeful expressions on both monsters' faces.

"What do you wish for, Seari?" Kendall asked now desperate to change the subject. She didn't want to think about the King of Monsters and she didn't want to think about the end of her journey.

The reptilian monster looked a little confused for a moment. Her green eyes darted to the sky as if the crystals held the answer to the question. "I wish for your safe return. I wish that you will leave safely and perhaps even visit from time to time," the chef chuckled softly.

Kendall swallowed the lump in her throat; she was slightly upset that the wish wasn't for Searifa herself. "Sure, maybe I can get some humans to help get all of you out of here."

"WOULD YOU REALLY?" Papyrus asked his eyesockets almost gleaming. "IF YOU HELPED BREAK THE BARRIER, YOU'LL BE THE ANGEL."

"the angel?" Kendall repeated, "who is that?"

"A legend or prophesy. It is said that one who have seen the Surface will fall and the Underground will go empty. Can you imagine Papyrus if Kendall really is the Angel?" the reptilian monster asked her voice raising in excitement. The two monsters seemed to build off each other's excitement.

"WE'LL ALL GET TO SEE THE SURFACE. WE CAN SEE THE SKY, CLOUDS-"

"Don't forget the rain and snow," Searifa interrupted. Kendall opened her mouth to speak, but the two monsters didn't hear listing the many thing on the surface that they could experience. She didn't want to hear the simple joys that they have never experienced, she didn't think she could take anymore guilt for crimes she hadn't committed. She was about to shout at them to stop when a loud ringing sound broke off the conversation. Papyrus pulled out a cell phone out of nowhere.

"GREETINGS UNDYNE."

"WHERE ARE YOU PAPYRUS? THE HUMAN WAS JUST SEEN NEAR THE WISHING ROOM," Undyne's loud voice shouted. Kendall and Searifa looked at each other nervously as they heard the captain.

The skeleton looked nervous sweat magically beading along his forehead. "WHAT A COINCIDENCE. I AM ALSO AT THE WISHING ROOM." Kendall slammed her palm into her face while Searifa looked like she paled. "I WILL BE EXTRA VIGILANT AS WE PASS THROUGH. I GUESS I WILL SEE YOU SOON." The skeleton hung up the phone with a click.

"Papyrus," Kendall groaned, "Why did you tell her we were here?"

"I agree with Kendall. It wasn't a very wise decision."

"UNDYNE IS ME BEST FRIEND. I CAN'T BETRAY HER BY LYING TO HER," Papyrus answered as if it was obvious as the crystals above. Kendall grumbled under her breath, but the idea was admirable.

"That is fine. I'll just cast another illusion," Searifa said calmly. Kendall could feel the magic swirl around her tightly. "Everything is under control. We'll continue our journey and Undyne will not suspect a thing. "

"I DON'T THINK YOUR MAGIC IS WORKING. I STILL SEE HER," Papyrus said worry clear in his voice.

"That's normal. Illusions only work if you don't know the truth. I would advise you not to touch anyone, Kendall. The mind realizes the conflict of information and the illusion is broken."

"Sure thing," Kendall said before grinning mischievously. "Mom."

The reptilian monster sighed frustrated, but didn't say anything more as the trio moved through the wishing room. It was quiet as the two monster and teen passed through the dark cavern. It made Kendall feel nervous; were the other two also nervous or was it just her? "Hey, Seari," the teen called out to the reptilian monster who was ahead of her. The chef looked over her shoulder and responded. Now that Kendall had the monster's attention she wondered what to say. "uh, what are those flowers?" she asked pointing to the tall blue flowers that seemed to glow.

"THOSE ARE ECHO FLOWERS. THEY REPEAT THE LAST THING THEY HEAR," Papyrus answered turning to face the teen. He looked a little nervous and Kendall was sure that he was still feeling guilty about the call from Undyne. "SORRY, SEARIFA THAT QUESTION WAS FOR YOU."

The reptilian monster laughed, "That is quite alright, Papyrus. I tend to overexplain anyways."

Kendall made a note of agreement as she brushed a petal on a nearby echo flower. "I wish the human passes through peacefully," the flower whispered. Kendal drew a sharp breath in. She stood frozen in front of the plant just staring at yet another reminder of her guilt. She didn't hear the soft footsteps near her and she didn't notice the monster who stood beside her for a moment. Searifa leaned over the flower and whispered something softly beneath her breath. Kendall didn't catch what she said, but did hear the echo. "I wish that you forgive yourself." Kendall turned to say something to the monster but she and Papyrus were already near the end of the hall.

She glanced at the echo flower once more. Forgive herself? Can she actually just move on from what she had done? Can she just act as if she was justified in killing those monsters? Kendall sighed to herself. She wanted to listen to Searifa and forgive, but what she wanted more was to go back to the beginning. Start her journey over again and change her decisions. The teen laughed to herself but that was impossible. She couldn't turn back the clock anymore than she could bring those monsters back to life. "ARE YOU COMING KENDALL?" Papyrus called from the end of the cavern with Searifa by his side.

"Yeah, just taking in the sights," she called back to the skeleton. The teen may not be able to turn back time, but she can do better from now on.
