Well, lets see what kind of shit I'm stuck in now. The teenager stood up after finishing her golden crown and started to walk down the dimly lit cave. She quickly realized that her shoulder bag was missing.
She turned around and found it laying a few feet away. Good. Notebook, check. Pen, check. Glasses, check. How is this place even bright enough to see in? She suddenly thought.
She continued down the wide path and made it to a grand entryway. She gingerly stepped through only to find a single golden flower bathing in a small patch of grass directly under a spot of sunlight.
Alexis walked up to it and reached down to pick it. She jumped back in surprise as the flower opened it's eyes and blinked.
What the hell is going on... a flower... with eyes... and a mouth... and it's staring at me... The girl's eyes were wide with fear as she backed away from the plant.
The flower perked up and smiled in response.
"Howdy! I'm Flowey. Flowey the Flower! You're new around here, aren'tcha? You must be so scared." The young girl started to breath heavily and her eyes widened more.
Shit. It talks. The flower fucking talks. Great. I'm in even deeper shit than I thought.
"Come here and I'll teach ya how things work down here!"
"Umm, uh... n-no, um, th-thanks F-F-Flow-Flowey..." Alexis stuttered as she backed away even further.
The flower pouted and replied, "that's no way to teach a friend after you try to pick them. It was very rude of you to try that, but I'll forgive you!" The little golden bloom straightened up and smiled again. The girl took a deep breath to compose herself in front of the little yellow creature.
"Okay. Umm. Again, no thanks. I'll make it on my own." The flower suddenly seemed to have been absorbed by the ground and Alexis sighed with relief. A second later, the flower appeared in front of her. She screamed and fell backwards onto her butt. "What the hell! Stay away you creep!" she yelled. Flowey squinted in disapproval.
"Those aren't very nice words. That's no way to greet a creature that's trying to be friends with you, now is it?"
"I said, stay the hell away from me you freak of nature, or whatever you are."
Flowey smiled and replied, "I'm a flower. Now let me help you or you're gonna have a hard time down here. There are monsters that aren't very nice, but I can help you with them. It's really no trouble. Who would want to pass up a chance to have a friend like me?"
"Fine, them what happens to all the other humans that fall down here? Where are they?" She girl asked skeptically.
"Why, it's been at least a decade since a human like you has fallen down here. And they never listen anyway. They always want to kill the monsters. And lets just say that things don't end well for them. They're too weak, but I can help you be strong!"
The young girl weighed her options and finally came to a decision. She stood up calmly, stepped in front of the flower, then stepped over it. She continued down the corridor, making her way to another entryway.
"Hey!" Flowey yelled at her. "Come back here!" Alexis continued walking, but picked up her pace slightly. "Fine!"
The flower creature then appeared a few feet in front of Alexis and started shouting again. "If you think you can survive without me, then you're wrong!" The girl walked past him, but it reappeared. "You need me! They all needed me! But nobody ever listens to the sweet little flower, now do they!" The girl walked on, but a bit faster. "You'll regret this! They all regret it!" The flower screamed angrily from behind.
The teenager speed walked through the dimly lit doorway. Only right as she went through it, she ran into a wall of white fur. Her body was thrown to the ground for a second time that day due to fright.
"Oh!" a motherly voice exclaimed. "I'm so sorry!" The tall figure then bent over and extended a hand. "Let me help you up dear child. Please forgive me for not being careful. I was not expecting a human. The area is usually empty."
The teenager looked up at the figure skeptically. Alexis relaxed her muscles, but refused the monsters help. She slowly pushed herself up to her feet and stood in front of her next obstacle.
She looked at the monster with distaste and replied, "hey there cow lady, I-" The girl was stopped from a gasp coming from the creature in front of her.
"Oh! Silly child. I'm a goat, not a cow." The "goat" lady giggled at the teenagers confusion. "But please, call me Toriel. I am the caretaker of the ruins. I check around here almost everyday to see if a human has fallen."
Alexis raised her eyebrows. "Okaaaay... ya, I fell. But how the f-..." Something about the goat woman in front of Alexis made her restrain from cursing at her. "How do I get back up. My friend is up there and he probably thinks I'm dead. I have to let him know that I'm alive."
Toriel frowned. "I am so sorry my dear. You cannot return to the surface. The barrier keeps us trapped down here."
"But I HAVE to get back up there." Since when do I care how someone feels about me? The young girl questioned.
"Dear child, the only way you can make it back up is if you managed to get past the king AND kill a monster. It's impossible to accomplish!"
"What am I suppose to do then? Wander around down here forever?" The young girl started tearing up. I thought life couldn't get any worse. This is a whole different hell to live through.
"Child, -" Toriel was cut off by the teenager standing in front of her.
"Stop calling me a child. Please stop calling me child..."
The goat woman's face saddened with pity. "Then what shall I call you dear?" She asked in a sweet, motherly tone.
"Alexis. My name is Alexis," the girl replied with a deep breath.
"Well, Alexis, if you ever end up beyond the ruins, most monsters will try to kill you. They want your soul to help break the barrier keeping us down here. But in the ruins, I can keep you safe." This just got even better... Not only am I stuck in this shit hole, but almost every living thing down here wants me dead. Great. "Please, follow me. We will go to the ruins and you can get some sleep. You look like you need a good nights rest."
"That sounds fantastic actually."
"Oh, and just out of curiosity, do you prefer butterscotch or cinnamon?"
"I actually like them both equally."
"I'm glad to hear that."
"One last thing," Alexis stated as they started to make their way to the ruins, "do you know Flowey?"
"Who?"
"He was this golden flower that wouldn't shut up about teaching me how to survive down here. It was kinda creepy."
Toriel looked confused. "I didn't think any monsters were out this far past the ruins. Usually they stay inside of them. And I've certainly never heard of a flower looking monster before."
"Oh, well. As long as that thing stays away from me, I'm pretty okay."
