"Hey! Wait! There's no need for you to be dragging me to your house!" Toby shouted.
"I tried to take you serious but you think I was joking so you left me with no choice!" I shouted.
Yeah. I wasn't kidding I would drag Toby to my house to find out what was going on. By the time I got in the house, Mizuki looks at the monitor shocked. Something wasn't right.
"What happened?" I asked her.
"Look." She said with fear.
I look at the screen and I see Dante sleeping and as he's dreaming he is standing face to face with a goat monster that reminds me of Asriel but was taller than him, has Asgore's horns and is wearing similar clothing as Toriel's. But that wasn't what scared Mizuki...it's the nasty glare he's giving at Dante. That spells trouble and I know there's going to be a fight. Here's what's going on. Dante sees the monster with fear and says "Who are you?!". The goat monster didn't say anything for a while as the background music was suddenly playing strange creepy ambience music. The goat monster says "I am Astra. Prince of the underground. Son of Asgore...you have something that belongs to me and I want it back." For some reason Dante knows what's going on and says "The book?" Astra walks up to Dante as if he was going to hit him but Dante backs away in case it got ugly. "Yes...the book. I am it's original owner. Give it to me. Now." Dante refuses as the music suddenly stopped.
"Oh no...please don't let it be a boss fight so soon." I whispered.
The uncomfortable silence was seriously getting me on edge as I see Astra making a fist on his right hand. This was not going to go well...He says "Very well...then I'll take it by FORCE!" The fight was going to start but Toriel shows up on the nick of time with a plate of slice of cinnamon butterscotch pie and places the plate next to Dante and leaves the room as she closed the door. The look of shock Astra had on his face when he saw Toriel turned to sorrow with the words "No...mother wouldn't want this..." Then vanished.
"Can someone tell me what's going on?" Toby asks.
"My friend is inside the game and might be killed cause he has no knowledge of this game. He's going to die in there!"
"Hmm...there could be a chance Flowey may be involved." He says.
"Flowey? What about that jerk?" Mizuki asks.
"You don't know do you? Flowey is a dangerous and powerful enemy and I don't even need to remind myself that he can do somethings that can affect the game. But if your friend is in the game then we have a serious problem." Toby said with fear.
"How so?" I ask.
"...It's his little game..." Toby said as he looked at the monitor.

(Toriel's house)
I wake up gasping for air from that nightmare I had...but I wonder...was it a nightmare? He looked so real...he wanted to kill me but...for some reason didn't want to. I look at the ground and I see a slice of pie on a plate. I ate the slice once I got out of bed and to my surprise...that was damn good. I should definely make one myself. (A/N: my friends made one yesterday and man was it good. I highly recommend making one and try it yourself if you're curious.) I left the plate on the bed, went out of the room and decided to look around a bit when I came across a mirror. Now you're saying "This is no time to look at yourself at the mirror." well this was crazy...this "Astra" goat monster I encountered in my dream looking at me with same tired expression I have. He would mimic my movement while I was looking at it and as I got close to the mirror, he shouts at me so loud I nearly fell to the ground. Of course, like an asshole he is, he vanished and I see my own reflection again.
"Asshole..." I muttered.

"What do you mean it's his own little game?" I asked.
"Well you know how Flowey tries to manipulate you as a killer?" Toby says as he looks at the monitor more.
"Yeah?"
"Well I think he's trying to step up his game and try to do that a new player who has no knowledge of my game for example your friend. Has he killed any monsters?"
"No."
"Good. If he starts killing monsters then whatever darkness was sealed in your friend will start to unleash itself like what happened to the main protagonist but I fear it maybe far worse than that." He sighs.
"Damn..." Mizuki grumbled.
As Dante wakes up, he eats the butterscotch cinnamon pie and leaves the room when all of a sudden, Astra's reflection is on the mirror instead of Dante's. He mimics Dante's movement for a bit but as Dante gets close to the mirror...Astra shouts at Dante in Wingding language "Get out of my face, you fool!" But that was not the thing that scared us...it's the angry face Astra did. His face looked like Asriel's transformed form but...more scary. Hell...it even scared Toby when he saw that face. Thankfully Dante's reflection came back when Astra's reflection disappeared as Dante muttered the words "Asshole."
"That was scary..." Toby said.
"No kidding. And I thought Asriel was intimidating." Mizuki says.
As we continued looking at the monitor to see Dante talking to Toriel how to leave the ruins when Flowey's face shows up on the monitor with that dumb smile he always show.
"Trying to ruin my game? Hmm...what to do with you three?" He ponders.
Before I shout at him, he finally smirks at us...
"I know! I'll have you be in it!" He chirped.
"Leave Dante alone!" Mizuki shouted.
"I'll do whatever I want with him. Besides...I have plans for him and you're part of it!"
A huge flash of light blinded me, Mizuki and Toby as Flowey laughs evilly...what was he going to us I have no clue but I know it won't be good...

(Near the ruins exit)
I managed to convince Toriel in letting me leave the ruins and to my surprise she didn't fight me when she was getting serious about it. At least she gave me a hug as good luck knowing that she cares about me. Anyway, I walk through the corridor and I see Flowey looking at me with a smile.
"You again..." I growled.
"I'm so sorry. You see...I'm not like myself when I'm near strangers. You see...that lady you saw placed a curse on me to act like that. The monsters can't be trusted...they lie to you just so you can lower your guard and then kill you before you even know it. Best you kill them before they take that chance."
I glared at him knowing that he was pushing my buttons the wrong way. So He sees this and sighs. He's acting again.
"Fine...be that way. Remember it's kill or be killed out there and you'll thank me later when a monster tries to kill you."
With those final words, he burrows him in the ground as I feel my anger rising when I heard that. Asshole is manipulating me to become a murderer. Well that's not going to happen cause I know a liar when I hear one. I continued walking through the corridor and as I exited the ruins...I was greeted by the harsh cold wind of winter...
