Chapter Four: The Child

Pulling the pie from the oven, she watched her son stroll back into the room; the human tucked under his arm. Her brown locks damp, pale skin clean from all that muck and she looked tiny – tinier than before one of Chara's shirts. This human was so…so young. Green orbs stared up at her curiously.

This human was adorable!

Something within melted.

She looked to her son. He knelled in front of the child, throwing a towel over her head and began drying her dark locks – a genuine smile on his lips…

He was smiling! Her son was smiling! She hadn't seen him smile…she hadn't seen him smile since then…since…

"See, not only will I protect you but I'll take care of you too. I'm your big brother now, so remember you must always come to me for something. No matter how silly, sis." He declared again though to her furry ears, it was the first time she was hearing this and she also quickly noticed the green heart around the human's shoulders. He'd given her his heart – his only link.

However keeping the human would be dangerous. Not only for her son and herself but for the child as well; if any of the others discovered she was here...chaos would be unleased. They had after all trapped the humans down there for a reason. They were evil, evil creatures without the ability to show mercy and always wanted more, more and more. They never stopped.

This human though, Frisk… Toriel saw no evil.

"Okay, brother." The child signed and smiled, her son's smile grew. He suddenly picked her up and cuddled her tightly to his chest, the both of them giggling. Their delight was soothing to her wounded and divided soul, her uncertainty vanishing. The human was welcome to stay as long as she wanted.

The child – she was her child now.
