What if they come back to kill Pap? Sans sighed at the thought and let a few tears roll down his face. He wiped them with his sleeve and started out the door. The bright snow and chilly wind made him shiver. He looked back in his warm, dark house before Sans huffed and shut the door behind was walking toward his post. Looking around, he suddenly heard a noise, it sounded like bells, ringing slowly. Then, Sans felt something go through his body, it was painful. He fell to the ground, his vision getting blurry. All Sans heard were screams of pain and cries of agony. The world slowly started to fade out around him. His consciousness fading away as pain pulsed through him. His last thoughts as everything went black were... What's going on?

Darkness, just darkness, a noise, and beeping noise? Breathing, he hears breathing, soft yet jagged breathing. Voices, someone is speaking, they're too faded to hear. Sans strained to open his eyes, he winced from the pain in his ribs as he opened his eye slowly. The bright light of the room blinded him.

Sans looked around, only to realize he wasn't able to see out of one eye. Then he wondered, Why do I have pain in my ribs? Why can't I see out of one eye? He realized he had a breathing mask on, and that he was attached to an IV. Sans scanned his memories for any information on how he ended up like this. Nothing was there, not even a single trace of a memory related to Sans's condition. He sighed, not knowing what to do. It hurt to breathe, it hurt to move, he was blinded in one eye, and he was confused. Then Sans heard a faded voice. "Oh you're awake," A figure walked up to him. "You were injured, someone helped you, they dragged you here and gave you to me." Sans looked at them. It was Alphys, she still had her huge scar on her neck. The sight of it sent shivers down his spine, Sans didn't try to speak.

He didn't really know what was going on, but he obeyed as Alphys examined his body. "You know Sans, you were taken here with multiple broken bones, torn off limbs, and a huge crack in your skull. My question for you is, can you remember anything that happened?" Alphys asked, Sans, shook his head. She sighed, "Well it's probably for the best you don't remember..."

Sans nodded slowly, not wanting to remember the horror I must have experienced. Repeating the words in his head. "Multiple broken bones, torn off limbs, and a huge crack in your skull." He looked up at Alphys, who looked a little nervous as usual. "S-sorry S-Sans, but I have to take m-my m-medicine, I-I'll be back." She walked off to wherever her pills were. Sans laid back down. Getting lost in thought, he started drifting off. Then he closed his eyes, forgetting the hardships of life.

"Hello Sans, I've brought you this pie to celebrate your birthday," Toriel said to him. "Thanks, Tori," Sans paused before speaking again. "just set it over there." He finished, before walking over to Papyrus. Papyrus was currently cooking spaghetti. "Hey Paps, how's it going?" Sans asked, his brother looked at him. "I'M FINE DEAR BROTHER! HOW ARE YOU?"
"Same old lazy pun-loving brother you know," Sans replied. "WELL, THE SPAGHETTI WELL BE READY SOON SANS," Papyrus said returning his focus on his spaghetti. Sans chuckled and saw Frisk. "Hey, Sans! I brought a gift for you." Frisk handed Sans a neatly wrapped gift, it was light blue wrapping paper with dark blue polka dots. "Heh, thanks, kiddo." Sans said ruffling her hair.

Then everything faded away into the black void of his memories.

Thu-Thump

Wilhelmina awoke to soft humming. She looked to her side to see Toriel softly humming while sewing, she was sitting in a chair. "Oh, you're awake, can you speak?" Wilhelmina shook her head and frowned slightly. Toriel looked at Wilhelmina. "Do you know sign language?" Toriel asked.

Wilhelmina shook her head again and looked down. "That's alright, I'll teach you. But for now, I have something for you." She said holding up a dress for Wilhelmina to see. "It was a little old and worn out so I fixed it up for you. Your clothes seemed to be ripped when I found you. So while I repair it, you'll wear this." Wilhelmina nodded and carefully took the dress. It had a symbol on it that she didn't understand. Purple, blue, and white were in a particular pattern with a dark purple cloak and black boots. Toriel walked out of the room, allowing Wilhelmina to change.

After she put the dress on, she took her torn clothing, her pastel yellow sweater, some jeans, a light brown jacket, and a pair of brown boots. Toriel waited outside, Wilhelmina brought her the clothing. Toriel smiled warmly, "My child, why don't you explore?" Wilhelmina nodded and wandered off. She heard a soft tune... It followed her, as if trying to get her attention. Wilhelmina hummed the tune she heard, looking at the ruins. Pillars, flower beds, trees, it was full of life.

A few days later, Toriel hacked away at the rock, then she heard the ruins' door open. Toriel looked to see Papyrus, with the winged design on his skull, he walked in, his cloak silently waving behind him. "Toriel, have you made any progress on the project I assigned you?." He said looking into her eyes. "I'm afraid to say that we're still working on it, King Papyrus, we're still trying to find material to keep it stable and the machine itself stable my king."

Papyrus sighed, "It must be finished soon, or more monsters will die." Toriel looked down in shame. All these monsters were depending on the workers in the ruins to finish the project and they're not even close to being done. "We'll try to finish it as soon as possible Papyrus..." Toriel finished, then she thought. What am I going to do?

At the end of the day, Toriel dismissed the workers back to their resting areas. Leaving her to get lost in thought, she looked at the unfinished project. I don't know what to do... Papyrus is depending on us to finish the project... She thought, looking at the ruins. Then she heard soft footsteps, she turned around and saw Wilhelmina. Toriel bent down, "Hello my child, is something wrong?" She asked her. Wilhelmina signed something about hearing some weird noises. And that she was scared... Toriel hugged Wilhelmina, "It's going to be alright..." Even though she knew that it was most likely the opposite.
"Just stay near the house, ok my dear?" Wilhelmina nodded and started to go back home. Toriel examined her unfinished project once more before following her. Heading to their home.
