A/N: Hi everyone. I bet you are all surprise that I wrote another chapter so soon. Well, it is a bit shorter so that helped, but what helped the most is the review I got from helenamasox. Yup, I am easy to motivate.


Kendall shuffled down the stairs carefully. She looked back at the closed door. She mustered everything in her to continue forward. The next chamber was dark with a single blot of sunlight like a spot light. It shone on a small patch of grass with a single flower sprouting.

"Flowey," Kendall growled as she glared at the plant who started to bob in the nonexistent wind.

"Wow, I am sooo impressed," Flowey drawled with sarcasm dripping off each word. "You managed to go through there without killing a single monster. Hehehe. She must think you are so sweet, but we both know the truth…. You're a killer just like me," the flower's face twisted into something horrifying.

Kendall shook her head holding herself trying not to think about the dust that had covered her hands. "I'm not that anymore. I am not going to hurt anyone," the teen shouted stomping toward the plant intending to crush it.

Flowey slipped under the dirt before popping up beyond the light. "Wow, I thought you weren't going to hurt anyone," the plant mocked.

"You're an exception," Kendall growled walking past the plant. She could hear his laughter as she left the light behind. Pushing with all her might, she opened the large stone doors.

The cold wind whipped into the hall. The teen smiled a little, pleased that her sweater blocked some of the cold out. She took a confident step forward, letting her feet sink into the snow. The door slammed loudly behind her. She jumped slightly almost tripping over her feet.

She laughed at her jumpy reaction before walking through the snow. She was unsure of the way, but she knew that she had to find Searifa. If anyone would help her through the Underground, it would be her previous guide. With a plan in mind, Kendall continued down the path. The crunch beneath her feet were the only sound she heard.

Kendall could see a small bridge up ahead. She sighed to herself before a noise behind her made her spin around rapidly. "Who's there?" she called, trying to remain calm. The dark trees stood silently, creating shadows along the white snow. Kendall kept her eye trained at the path taking a couple steps back.

"Careful there, kiddo," a deep, familiar voice called. Kendall jumped turning around to face a short skeleton. He wore a blue jacket and slippers. She stumbled back recognizing the monster in front of her.

"Hi, my name's Kendall," the teen started trying not to shake under the other's scrutiny. She held out her hand, is shook in the air between the two.

"I'm Sans. Sans the skeleton," the skeleton replied taking her hand. A loud flatulent sound broke the tension. Kendall laughed; a bit nervous and caught off guard, but it was a good trick. Sans seemed to relax a little.

"That's pretty funny," Kendall said releasing his bony hand.

"The whoopie cushion in the hand trick is always funny," Sans said with a cheeky smile. He leaned back on his heels. "You know, kid, you don't seem so bad," he said a strange edge in his voice.

Kendall's smile fell. "I am trying to change. I really wasn't so nice before I came here," she admitted.

"Hmm, my bro would probably say that he believes in you. He's cool like that," Sans admitted. Kendall didn't know whether to be nervous around the skeleton or to relax.

"How about you? What do you think? Can I be forgiven for what I have done?" she asked; it was vague and she figured he wouldn't know what she was talking about.

"Hey, who am I to judge? As far as I know, you seem like a kind kid," Sans said with a shrug. Kendall sighed in relief even with the stressed word. "I am actually on break. Are you hungry?"

"I am hungry for pasta actually," Kendall said hoping the skeleton would lead her to Searifa's restaurant.

"I think I know just the place and I know just the shortcut," Sans said holding out his hand once again. Kendall took it a little cautiously. Instantly the world seem to swirl before her eyes.

Once her spinning vision stopped, she clutched her stomach to prevent herself from vomiting. Sans chuckled beside her releasing her hand. Kendall shook her head to look at the quaint restaurant. "This restaurant just open recently. My bro and I haven't ate here yet, but I heard that it was good," Sans said as he led the way. A cheery tune rang as the pair reached the door. "That's my bro now. Go ahead, I should be gettin' back to work. I can't believe I let you drag me away." Kendall turned to face him, but he had already disappeared.

She frowned as she squinted trying to find him. How did he leave so fast? Kendall shrugged deciding it wasn't important. The teen had something more important to do. She gathered her courage before pushing the door open.

The restaurant was empty and quiet. "Hello?" she called out.

"I am coming. I apologize I was.." Searifa's voice started trailing off as she caught sight of the human at her door. The reptilian monster's green eyes widen as her frills stood on edge. "Distracted," she finished.

Kendall flinched at the fear that emitted from the other. Was she this afraid the first time they met? Did the cook see the dust on her hand and knew that she could be next? The teen could feel her guilt weight her down. "Can I help you?" Searifa asked cautiously.

"I just need a place to stay low for a while," she said, "it is a little chilly outside."

Searifa nodded, "Of course, I am nearly done for the day. After I close, I can take you to my home." Kendall wanted to cry; the monster still was kind to her.

"Can I help you close? I can wash dishes or something," the teen offered.

The lizard shifted uncomfortably. "I haven't started the dishes, but I would feel dreadful making you do them."

Kendall brushed her off walking past the chef to the kitchen. "If you are letting me stay, it is the least I can do." The teen looked at the piles of dishes. She was slightly discouraged, but she did owe it to the monster. "It's not so bad," she lied, rolling up her sleeves.

Between the two of them, the kitchen was clean quickly. Kendall waited for Searifa to bundle herself up before two braved the cold.
