Chapter 1
I wake up with a scream then quickly stop when I realise where I am. I look around at the same four purple walls and messy room I always wake up to. How could this be? Was the whole thing a dream? Could it all be summed up to wishful thinking? No, it couldn't be. It was too real. I could still feel the sun light on my skull. There was no way that could have been a dream. But why was I laying in bed, back underground? It made no sense so I guess it was just a dream. Suddenly my door opens and slams against the wall.
"Sans! Why are you screaming? I was just making spaghetti, now it will be ruined!" My brother looked at me as if I actually had skin on my bones.
"Uh, nothing bro, just a bad dream I guess… Scared me to the bone." I attempt a smile and wink at him, trying to play off as if nothing was wrong. Even though I was freaking out.
"Sans! This is not the time to make bad puns! I must return to my precious spaghetti! It's a new recipe you know." Papyrus ran back to the kitchen as the smoke detector went off.
I sighed and slowly got out of bed. I wasn't exactly excited to get to work. Another day working at the sentry station after dreaming about being free was going to suck. Especially not seeing that beautiful sun set and breathing in the fresh air. How could I imagine something that I have never seen before? I kept thinking about my dream as I grabbed a bottle of ketchup from the fridge and headed off to work.
After making sure my puzzles didn't need to be recalibrated I headed deep into the Snowdin forest where my post was. When I got there I wrote in the journal Papyrus made me do each morning and night. I tried to tell him that there was never anything to report because no human had never stepped foot in Snowdin forest since we moved here, however he insisted and I hated to see him upset.

Nothing to report as usual, just a conveniently shaped lamp and a couple rocks…
I put down the pencil and sighed. How could I go back to work after dreaming about freedom? I couldn't get my mind to focus so I opened the bottle of Ketchup and downed it in a single gulp. Just as I was thinking about taking an unusually early break and heading to Grillby's, I heard a door open and shut. I turned around and looked deeper into the woods towards the mysterious door that I practiced my knock knock jokes on. Something resonates inside me as I see a shadow of a small monster. I remember something about the dream I had the night before and got closer. I hide behind a tree as the shadow got closer. If it was that kid monster again I would guide him back to Snowdin, wouldn't be the first time, but what if it wasn't? I crept closer, close enough to see the monster's clothing. The child has brown hair and was wearing a striped light magenta and blue shirt, blue pants and plain brown shoes. The child looked exactly like the human child in my dream. I decided to follow them as they headed towards Snowdin to get a closer look.
