Chapter 3: The caring mother

I'm trying to keep the P.O.V switch between them each day, so it's all clear on who it is. Might do both in one chapter later on, but for now, it's switching up between the two main charachters.

(Lucy P.O.V)

"YAY! I won!" I said as I sat down on the chair up in the living room, smiling as I saw Lucas come in as well. "I beat you in a race!"

"Heh, that you did sis" He said as he grabbed a chair and sat down beside me. "You also started before me, you little cheater" He ruffled my hair as he sat down beside me.

"Aww, but I won!" I really felt happy finally beating him in a race, but looking at him and knowing how hurt he had it, made my smile fade away. "Big brother…are you okay?" He turned his head towards me, and smiled one of his fake smiles. It was something he did, when he wanted to not worry anyone, but I have learned to see the difference. "Of course I'm okay, it's just a bit itchy that's all" He said as he used his other arm to rub his back. "So don't worry about that" I tilted my head towards him, looking at him with tears starting to form in my eyes. I was just about to say something, when I heard footsteps coming from the stairs and was getting louder as it got closer to us. I turned my head towards the entrance and wiped away my tears, knowing my brother would be worried if he saw it. He was always like that, making sure others was okay, rather than himself, and that made me worried. I knew he was older than me, but I was just worried about him. I smiled and waited on the person coming, knowing well who was coming after us. I could see Toriel coming up from the stairs and turned towards the living, and she started to smile and walked up to us.

"Morning my Child, glad to you see up" Toriel said as she looked at me. I smiled and stood up from the chair, walking up to her and hugged her.

"Glad to see you too Toriel. Thank you for taking care of me and my brother" I said as I let go and pointed at my Brother. He was looking at Toriel with a curious look, before smiling and walking up to her. He stretched out his arm.

"Thank you for taking care of me Toriel. She told me what you did" He said smiling. Toriel smiled and grabbed his hand, shaking it.

"No problem My child, glad to see you up and well. Is your back still hurting?" She said with a worried sound in her voice. I looked at Toriel, and could really see her as a mother, though I didn't know if she has had children before or not. Should probable ask big bro later, he knows more of this then I do. I looked back at my brother and saw something move in his eyes…like a small glow. What was that? I thought to myself as I sat back down at the chair.

"It's not hurting as much now, it's a bit itchy now…but that's probably come from the scar I guess" He said, as he rubbed his back. From my angel, I could see the back of his sweater, and I saw a trail, of what seemed to be dried Blood going from his left shoulder and down his back, looking like a big scar. Is it still hurting, or healed…I wonder I thought to myself as I kept looking at his back.

"I'm glad for that Child, good to see you feeling better. Now, what are your names, my children?" Toriel asked us as she started to walk towards the kitchen. Lucas turned around, looked at me and nodded following Toriel in the kitchen. A smile appeared on my face as I stood up and followed them. She really had a mother instinct in her, would actually call her my mom, if it was not for my real parents. I wondered how they were doing now, if they had noticed us being gone or if they cared at all. I wiped my brown eyes, feeling small tears forming up and I couldn't just stop it. They would be worried I hoped, I really missed them, even though we haven't been gone for a long time. Think we had been gone for a couple of days now, wonder how they would react to that.

I shaked my head and walked to the kitchen and saw Toriel starting to make something.

"So yeah, our names" My brother said as he walked up beside Toriel. "My name is Lucas, and that is my sister Lucy" He pointed at me when he said my name. I walked up to the other side of Toriel and smiled. "Thank you for taking care of us Toriel" I said as I looked at the counter and saw different ingredients for something spread all over the counter. "What you making?" Toriel looked at me with a confused looked, before widening her eyes and smiled. "Oh, how silly of me. I'm making a Butterscotch-Cinnamon pie, my child. I forgot to ask which you prefer, so I thought I could bake a pie with both, hope that is okay." Lucas looked at me and nodded, and I understood fully what he tried to say to me. He and I always managed to understand each other just by looking at each other, and that was really helpful at time. But sometimes, it scared me, since I could see it in him that he looked scared…afraid. I knew I should do something about it, try and help him, but he just shakes his head and tells me everything is okay. I looked back at him, and I saw the moment in his eyes again. What is going on here? I thought as I tried to look closer, but he just turned back to Toriel.

"It's okay Toriel, we like both Cinnamon and Butterscotch, so everything is alright" He said as he looked around the kitchen. "Anything I can help with?" Toriel just looked at him and smiled. "Don't worry, I have everything under control. But maybe go change, have some spare clothes in the closet in your room. Your clothes seem a bit ruined" She said as she pointed at him. I looked at his clothes, and the blood that was earlier on his back seems to have been going around his body, since it was dried up blood on the sides of his jacket. I looked more closely and I could also see part of his jacket and sweater being ripped up all over his arms and around his front. I rubbed my eyes, making sure it wasn't just something I saw and was shocked when I didn't see it disappear. That wasn't visible when I saw him earlier, how or when did they come there? I thought, since I couldn't remember seeing them when I was checking on him when we fell to the underground. But what really made us fall down, and not just land there right away I don't understand. He smiled and nodded.

"Sure thing Toriel, the clothes feel itchy a bit as well, so will be good to get them off me" He said and walked out from the kitchen and back to the room we were in. I watched him leave and looked back at Toriel.

"Is…t-there anything I can help you with Toriel?" I asked her as I looked at her making the pie. She turned to me and gave me the kind smile she always had.

"Actually Lucy, do you think you can get some plates and prepare the table while I bake this Pie? It's in the cupboard right beside me." She used her left arm and opened one of the cupboards lowest down. I smiled and crouched down, looking around. Plates, glasses, cups, some kitchen tools and other stuff inside. It was pretty big inside, and it looked smaller just looking at the opening to it, didn't really think It was that must space in it.

"How many do we need Toriel? Three right?" I asked her as I pulled out a couple of plates out. She nodded and moved over to the oven, putting the pie in.

"Yes my child. Three plates and three glasses should be enough for us. You can place them at the table in the room beside here, should be enough place for it there." She said as she closed the oven and started to clean up. I took the plates in my hand and used my other hand to bring out a couple of glasses and put them on top of the plates, balancing them on it. "Be careful Lucy, don't want you to get hurt" I turned my head towards Toriel and could seem what looked to be a small glint of sadness in her eyes.

"It's okay Toriel, I am being careful" I said to her as I stood up and walked to the living room and saw a table placed right beside the wall. I walked up to it and started to place the things down. This started to all feel like home, the only thing different is that I actually enjoyed it. Mom and dad always forced big brother and I to make dinner and set everything up, and now, seeing that I get to help and having fun while doing it makes it all better. I kind of missed home, but being here with Toriel was so much better.

I placed down the glass by each chair and then placed down the plates in front of them. I smiled and went back to the kitchen, seeing Toriel still cleaning up.

"Thank you for helping us and taking us in Toriel, we r-really n-needed it" I said as I walked up to her and hugged her. I could feel her body twitch a bit form the sudden contact, but it loosened up as quickly as it got there. Sounds of plates being moved and glasses being placed up in each other came from where she stood.

"No problem my child, I'm really happy that you want to stay" She said as she moved her hand around me and hugged me back. "Do you mind getting your brother? The pie is almost ready" I let go of her and smiled.

"That I can Toriel, I'll be right back" I said as I turned around and headed towards the room where he and I was sleeping earlier. Wonder what took him so long to change, it doesn't take that long to switch clothes does it? I thought to myself as I passed the living room and headed towards the room.

I'm sorry if i don't get Toriel's personality completly right, i just see her as a mother figure, and that's why i make her like it.
