It was raining in the next room. Like so many other things in the Underground, I had to pause a second and take it in. Frisk dashed back to get two umbrellas.

"I grabbed you an orange one."

They grinned, pleased with themself.

We met MK, huddled in one corner, drenched.

"Yo! You can hold umbrellas? Great! Let's go!"

Frisk and MK (mostly MK) chatted on about the awesomeness of Undyne while I did some hardcore thinking.

About what? Good question. So much had happened since we stepped through the Ruin doors, and I can scare remember it all. One thing did pop up on my mind though. Flowey the flower with his unsettling talk of "changing the game". This had left me with a multitude of unanswered questions. What game? Why would he think I changed the 'game' of all people? He had said something about me not knowing what I assume to be a vital peice of information. And this made it interesting? I felt like I was missing something obvious, something right in front of my face.

I glanced at Frisk, who was smiling patiently at MK. I tried to shake the unnerving encounter with Flowey the weed from my mind. I instead thought of Sans.

He had told me, during his long excuse for looking at the deepest corners of my soul without permission, that I intrigued him.

Why? What did I have that the other orange souled human didn't? More unanswerable questions.

"Woah! Allie look at that!"

We had walked to where we could see Asgore's castle in the distance. I'll admit, it was a breathtaking sight. The glowing gems on the roof sparked overhead, giving the huge building in the distance a surreal look. We paused our journey to take it in.

The next room proved to be a bit of a challenge. It was a tall, sheer ledge. Sometimes, being short really does put one at a disadvantage. I was small and Frisk was smaller, MK being smallest.

We put our umbrellas up and pondered the problem.

MK suddenly spoke up.

"Yo! You want to see Undyne, right?"

I didn't say anything but Frisk nodded agreeably.

"Here climb on my back."

We thanked MK profusely until he blushed.

Once on top, we looked down at him.

Frisk called,

"What about you?"

"Don't worry, I always find a way through."

That he did. Poor thing tripped again, but scampered happily away, carefree.

I grinned at Frisk.

"So, make a new friend?"

They grinned shyly at the floor in a manner I had never see before. I thought I even detected some blushing.

"Frisk?"

They just nodded and walked on, now defiantly turning red.

"Oh" I called in a singsong way.

"I get it."

They groaned and whined.

"Allie..."

"No no no!" I smirked triumphantly.

"This is your first crush. It's very important."

They mumbled something under their breath that I couldn't make out. I shook my head, still smirking. We headed on in silence. Soon we reached a bridge, over a dark expanse of nothingness that put me on edge for some reason. I felt twitchy and nervous as soon as I stepped on. I tried to pin point the feeling as we walked. What had changed? I stopped as I realized what it was. The music box. I could hear it anymore. Frisk had stopped too, but for a different reason.

"What's that?"

A blue spot had appeared on the bridge directly ahead of us. Another materialized on our left. Then on our right. More followed in quick cessation, closing off all exits.

"Frisk, get ready to run."

Without warning, the blue spears shot up from the points all around us, but faded immediately afterwards. Those spears were familiar.

Undyne.

More of the blue spots appeared in a quite random fashion. We took off sprinting, dodging the blue circles of death.

The path split off, turning into a maze of random left and right turns and dead ends. I had no idea where we should head. I was just trying to stay alive. I skidded to a stop right in front of a point and let the spear strike then fade.

"Just take it slow! We don't have to run mindlessly thorough."

Frisk nodded, apparently getting my meaning. More dots appeared, this time underneath us. Time to move. We took a sharp left into another dead end. Dead is how we were going to end if we didn't find someway out of this.

"Right!"

Frisk pointed to were we could both see an extensive platform of the bridge. It was different, and seemed the way to go. We sprinted across, dodging more easily in the open environment. The only path away was much smaller but we ran on. Screeched to halt at the edge of another dead end. I gasped for breath, hands on knees. I couldnt run anymore. Frisk's chest was heaving up and down, but they tugged at my sleeve.

"We can't stay here. The spears stopped, let's go."

I nodded, hitching my bag higher on my shoulders.

But as we walked, a terrifying figure appeared. Undyne. My heart skipped a beat, then two then three as she said in raspily female voice,

"One more soul until we're free." She looked at Frisk, directly. I knew she understood that Frisk was monster kinds ticket to freedom. I screamed in desperation while the armor clad Undyne swiped her hand across the air. Frisk was only a few steps ahead of me but that was enough.

Spears sliced the path clean off, sending me falling down, down, down. I couldn't even see their face. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.

Dèjá vu. The smell of golden flowers. The pain shooting through my body. The pain in my heart knowing I had failed Frisk. I pried my eyelids open reluctantly. I was soaked in water, covered by petals of the yellow flowers i had obviously landed bodily on. How long had I been out? I squeezed my eyes tight shut, the last image of Frisk facing Undyne burned in my brain. Hopelessness spread over me. Here I was, alive and mostly well. And Frisk...

I had promised them. I had told them I would protect them to my last breath.

"Feeling down?"

My eyes shot open, my heart jolting in my chest. I knew that voice.

A smiling face in a golden flower spoke again.

"I would be too if I had left the only person I cared about in the clutches of a cold blooded human killer intent on seeing their soul ripped from their body."

The flower giggled in a obvious mimic of Frisk's own carefree laugh.

"What a shame."

I clenched my teeth, staggering to my feet. I gripped my back pack, ready to sling it over my shoulder.

I hissed at the flower,

"You told me you were 'changing the game' or what ever the hell you said. Is this what you wanted? Is this it?"

Flower just laughed again, pleasure filling its grating voice.

"No no. I have something special planned for you. I mean," It paused, looking up at the ceiling as if pondering my odds.

"If you ever get your sibling back alive."

I growled in frustration.

"I'm getting Frisk back! If it's the last thing I ever do!"

"It might just be!"

Then the flower was gone, leaving only an echoing laugh and my boiling hatred to fill the room.

Surprisingly, I didn't feel so hopeless anymore. No, what I felt was anger, frustration, and fear to be sure. But also courage and determination.

I threw my pack over my shoulders and waded into the knee deep water. Piles of garbage surrounded me. A roaring waterfall with the occasional bit of trash flowed down to my left. I was alone.

*a feeling of dread hangs over you, but you try to stay determined*

Oooo! That was a fun one. Thank you precious people, as always! (Shout out to Our Anime Lives for being epic awesome amazingness)
