Lit tale!
Monika's P.O.V
I shivered in a tiny ball, waiting for the inevitable pellets to kill me. I had deducted if the pellets can do damage to frisk, they can do damage to me.
This wasn't fair. Why did I have to die?
Then, to my undying confusion, a fire ball came flying out of nowhere and slammed into the homicidal flower, and sent him rocketing across the room.
My mouth dropped open, while frisk smirked.
Frisk: Right on schedule.
Monika: What?
Frisk: Er… OH LOOK! A TALKING GOAT!
I stared at frisk, not believing them for a second.
Monika: Frisk, if you wanna get out of a conversation, try using a better-
?: What a miserable creature, torturing such poor innocent Youth.
Monika: huh?
I turned to see that indeed, Frisk was telling the Truth. In front of us stood a tall humanoid figure, covered with snow white, soft looking, cuddly fur. She had two floppy white ears, and soft brown eyes. She wore an elegant purple dress, with a white symbol emblazed on the front. She had two horns coming out from either side of her head, and a snout like… well… a goat.
I thought: She looks so cute… for a half goat, half human possibly demonic being.
?: Do not be afraid, My child. I am Toriel. Caretaker of the ruins.
Monika: …You know, I think my weirdness factor has reached its limit today.
Frisk: Shhh! She's nice!
Toriel walked over and knelt in front of Frisk, checking them all over for any kind of injuries.
Toriel: Are you hurt small one?
Frisk: No, Miss Toriel.
Toriel: I can't believe that flower had the nerve to try attacking a human a second time.
Frisk looked surprised at this. So, did I. there was another human down here?
Toriel: Come closer, little one.
I noticed how gentle Toriel was with Frisk, treating them with personal space, and yet at the same time examining them for any kind of injuries.
Monika: It's almost like she's treating you as if she was your-
The words caught in my throat.
I couldn't bring myself to say the word.
I had forbidden myself long after I discovered what My world was to ever say it.
But it leaked out anyway.
Monika: Mother…
My fists clenched tightly, and I felt a tear drop roll down my face and hit the ground.
?: Big kids don't cry.
I jerked up and looked around. I glanced over at Frisk, but they were too busy talking with Toriel.
If it wasn't Frisk, then who was it? It sounded so familiar, yet so distant.
Frisk: Hey, you ok?
Monika: Hm?
I looked up to see That Toriel was gone.
Monika: Where did she go?
Frisk: She said she was going to take us through the Ruins. Come on! Let's go.
Frisk ran ahead, and I floated after them, wondering who had spoken to me.
3RD PERSON P.O.V
As Monika and frisk took off after Toriel, a transparent figure that couldn't be seen watched them run.
He looked like a younger version of Toriel, except he was a boy. He wore a green and yellow striped t-shirt, and had Red eyes.
?: Heh.
The figure smiled sadly.
?: She acts just like you, Chara.
The figure slowly faded into the darkness.
Monika's P.O.V
I must say, for a goat lady that I'm not sure that is still secretly planning to kill us, Toriel is such a kind and smart lady.
She might be a tad overprotective, but other than that, she's like a combination of Sayori's and Yuri's personalities. A tiny bit of Yuri's shyness coupled with all of Yuri's love for knowledge, and Sayori's Sweet and kind personality along with a tiny bit of her forgetfulness.
We had been walking through the ruins for a few minutes now, and I already had made that deduction. In fact, if Mrs. Toriel was a human, I would think she would be a great teacher chaperone for th literature club.
She had shown and taught us many things, for example, how to solve the puzzles of the ruins (Even though they were so easy a toddler could have done them)
She taught us how to engage in a fight (I still don't understand why every time we enter a fight the world goes all black and white. Plus, now there were buttons we had to push before doing anything. I swear, if this isn't another simulation like my old world, I don't know what it is.)
She even gave us a cell phone. (I still can't believe frisk called her on it, called her mom, and then flirted with her. I swear I will never understand them.)
Then she told us we had to stay put forever.
That's when I got bored.
We had waited for an hour for her, but she still hadn't returned.
Monika: Frisk, as much as I hate to say this, I think we need to continue moving. Something might have happened to Toriel, and if we just sit here and wait for her, something might happen to us too.
Frisk: But she said-
Monika: Frisk, what if Flowey comes back?
Frisk sat there, contemplating that, before sighing, and getting up to continue.
We walked through the ruins, encountering many monsters, like Froggets and Whimsies. Frisk talked and joked and flirted with all of them, but never did their hand stray to the fight button. I wonder why.
One of the most particular fights I remember was one with a ghost named napstablook. His personality reminded me a lot of Yuri's. his shyness, not his depression.
After a while of puzzle solving, Frisk and I came to a crossroads. One led to an old tree, the other led to a balcony overlooking a huge city. Frisk went to the balcony first, and looked over it to study the city.
I, on the other hand, was studying a plastic knife on the ground. It had a purple blade and a black handle. I looked over to see if frisk wasn't looking, then stretched out my hand and grabbed it.
Funny thing, I can't touch humans or monsters or basically anything alive, but I can touch objects. Weird huh?
I slipped the knife back in my pocket, and me and frisk headed to the old tree.
Toriel was waiting for us there, apparently trying to call us. Looks like she got her phone back from that dog.
Toriel: Oh, me! Small one! Are you hurt!
Frisk shook their head, while I floated next them, bored.
Toriel: I shouldn't have tried to surprise you like this. It was clumsy of me…
Toriel rubbed the back of her head embarrassed.
Toriel: I suppose it doesn't matter. Come now Small one. I wish to show you something.
Frisk nodded, and they headed towards the house, before stopping randomly in a spot in front of it. I saw them do this millions of times, and yet, I never understood why they did it.
They went into the house, and I followed them.
The house was neat and tidy, with two hallways. It had a staircase leading down to the basement, and had pictures and books everywhere.
Toriel: Do you smell that? It's a butterscotch cinnamon pie!
I nodded in understanding. So, that's what that call at the rock puzzle was about.
Toriel: and not only that… But there is another person here I would like you to meet!
I perked up at this. Could this be the other human she mentioned?
Toriel turned and called into the kitchen.
Toriel: Could come here, My child?
I heard footsteps echo in the living room, then a very familiar face stepped into the main room.
A short, Pink haired girl with a red bow in her hair stepped into the room. She was wearing a pink sweater, with brown shorts and boots.
Monika: Sayori?
