Chapter 2

(Dante's pov)

We went to this strange room that had switches on the ground...I was curious what the switches do like...are they traps or do they nothing if they are pushed.

"Welcome to your new home, innocent one. Allow me to educate you in the operation of the ruins." Toriel said as pushed some switches on the ground and pulls the lever making a door open.

Huh...so that how it works. Like her own personal security code to enter her home.

"The ruins are full of puzzles. Ancient fusions between diversions and door keys. One must solve them to move from room to room. Please adjust yourself to the sight of them." She tells me.

After a few minutes of me studying the pressure plates and the lever, we continued to the next room and look...more levers...but marked with arrows? What?! Uhhh...

"To make progress here, you will need trigger several switches. Do not worry. I have labeled the ones you need to flip." She said as she walked to the other side of the hall.

...What? I got nothing to say about this. Anyway, I pulled down the labeled levers as a spiked floor deactivated. Well...that wasn't a challenge. I was really hoping for a challenge.

"Splendid! I am proud of you, little one! Let us move to the next room." Toriel said as we went to the next room.

I wonder what she plans to do with me. Can I really trust her?

(Rachael's pov)

10:30 AM

(Conneticut)

I was busy preparing for work when I hear my little sister shout...

"Rachael! Dante is in the game!"

Now normally I would call her a liar cause a lot of fans I see sometimes have the creator of that fan game in it... but then again...I was the one who convinced Dante to play Undertale so I had to check out what was going on. My sister points at an unusual character sprite that's heading to Toriel's home. As I look closer, sure enough it looked like Dante but...younger? As if that wasn't convincing enough, he stops near the entrance that leads to Toriel's home as he says the words "Does Rachael know this was going to happen to me? ...no. if she did knew, I would've seen her by now."

"Does Toby Fox know about this?" My sister asks me.

"Hell no. He would freak his ass off if he saw this. Did he gain any EXP?"

"No. He's been sparing monsters when Toriel was telling him to spare the monsters in battle. He was even kind enough to spare Napstablook. Why?"

"Cause "it" might try to control him if Dante gains any EXP. As long as Dante doesn't gain any EXP, he's good and "it" won't control him."

My sister knows who I'm talking about and gets the hint what I'm getting at. I refuse to say it's real name after learning it's true intention from a very messed up ending and permanently affected my game.

"Sis, look. He's going to meet Toriel."

"You keep on Dante's progress. Let me know if anything unusual happens. I'm going to talk to Toby Fox about this shit."

"Let's hope he listens."

"He better or I'll drag his ass here."

And that's something I'm going to do if he doesn't tell me what's going on.

(Dante's pov)

(Back at the underground.)

"Oh dear. That took longer than I thought it would." I hear Toriel at the distance.

She walks near a dead tree and notices me before making another call. She rushes towards me like the worried mother she is and started checking on me as if I were hurt.

"How did you get here, my child? Are you hurt?" She asked.

"No. I'm fine." I shook my head a bit.

"That's good...I should not have left you alone for so long. It was irresponsible to try to surprise you like this. Errr..."

"Surprise?" I asked with my eyebrow raised suspiciously for a second.

"Well...I suppose I cannot hide it any longer. Come, small one." Toriel said as she went to her home.

I followed her in the house and I suddenly felt a strange vibe of calmness...reminds me like my house at the real world. Toriel tells me that she made cinnamon butterscotch pie for me. To be honest...that's something I never tried before and I want to eat it cause I'm damn hungry. She then lead me to an empty room. As she tells me that it was going to be my room to stay, she starts petting my head...slowly...It made me feel more better strangely enough. She then rushes to the kitchen thinking that something was burning and I entered to get some rest...but before I could do that...I looked at a family photo on a counter. I see Toriel, a big monster with a beard and big horns, two goat kids but one of them had horns like the bearded monster. They were all smiling in the picture...like a happy family. Made smile looking at it too. For some odd reason, the book starts to pulse again and hit me a flash of light...then I get this strange memory.

"*****! ******! It's time to take a family picture!"

"At this time, mom? I'm studying for school."

"*****. It's only one picture. You'll be back to your studies once we finish taking the picture."

"Fine...I'll be there shortly."

That was...strange. This book is trying to tell me something but what? I wonder...
