Chapter 4
It's been a few days since that fiasco had happened. I'm surprised Papyrus and Sans are keeping me alive and fed, even though Papyrus' spaghetti isn't really that edible. Nonetheless, I'm still alive and well. Sans seems to have taking a liking to me since he keeps coming in and out of the shed. Not like I care or anything. One day, though, Sans comes in with some food for me. After I started eating he asks: "don't you ever want to go back?" I nearly drop the plate of almost edible spaghetti.
"Go back? To the surface?" I ask, he nods. I look down at my plate, my bangs hiding my face as my eyes swell up with tears. Sans tries his best to cover up his question, but ultimately fails at it.
"i'm sorry i asked that," he finally says after a silent pause. I look back up and give a fake smile. I don't care if he sees through it, though. It's not like it matters.
"Don't worry about it, it's not your fault," My tears stream down my face. I'm not going to hide them. Sans looks at me, a little dumbfounded for a second, then quickly changes his facial expression to his usual one. I quickly finish eating and hand him the plate as he stands up and leaves the shed, not bothering to lock it like he used to. I lean against the wall, looking up at the window above my head. It's a white-blue from the glint of the snow outside. It's very boring here, yes, but I couldn't say that to him. He seems so happy that I'm around and I'm acting like a stupid brat. Sigh, Maybe I shouldn't stay here. He probably wanted to leave this place, that's the reason he asked. Most likely. Maybe I should tell him the next time he comes in. That would be in the morning, though, and I can already feel the shed freezing from the outside in. I crawl over to the extremely small pet bed a try to get into a comfortable position on it, wrapping myself in my cloak afterwards. My body shivers as I lose consciousness.
It's pitch black and cold. Very cold. I feel like I'm in water and I can barely breath. I'm surprised I'm not getting hypothermia. I turn my body around, it's still pitch black. After a moment of doing absolutely nothing a pair of arms wraps around my waist. Voices echo from whoever owns the pair of arms, "… Why did you have to do that..?" They say. It seems to be a mixture of other people's and monster's voices. I can tell one apart from the rest, however. One of them was Sans'. I ask the person who has their arms wrapped around me, "Sans? Is that-" But I get cut off by someone strangling me. They pin me to a wall or to the floor, I can't tell, it's still pitch black. The voices echo again, including Sans', but there is another distinct voice. It's my mother's. "…Why did you run away? Answer me you foolish child!…" The grip gets tighter and tighter, until my eyes snap open into reality. My vision is blurry, but I can tell that someone is strangling me. Just looking at them with barely any details, I know..
..It's Sans.
"Sans.." I barely choke out his name, and he flinches at my hoarse voice, easing his grip on my throat a little. Something wet falls onto my face. Is he crying? "(y/n)," he quietly spoke, "i'm sorry, i have to do this. papyrus is making me," Sans sobs as his grip gets tighter, and you yelp. Sans hesitates before completely cutting off your windpipe from air. You struggle to speak the words "Lets escape this place together," before you pass out.
Sans stares at (Y/n)'s unconscious body, his tears cannot stop falling onto her (S/c) face. "i'm sorry, (y/n), we can't escape together unless i offer your soul to Asgore. please forgive me," Sans said quietly as he picked up her body and exited the shed, walking towards Waterfall, then Hotland, then the king's castle.
A bright light wakes me up from my slumber. I hold my hands in front of my (e/c) eyes, trying to soften the light as I open them. I sit up, and I try to talk, but instead I'm met with coughs and pain. I haven't felt this pain in a long time, it's a little nostalgic. I look to my sides and see the golden flowers that I saw when I fell here. I'm not back into those creepy ruins, aren't I? I hope I'm not. I look around the room some more, I've never seen this place before. I can't be in the ruins, the colour scheme is different. Suddenly, the sound of flower being crushed under feet are heard behind me. I turn around, and there is a giant goat-like-monster. It's sight makes me want to scream, but I can't, thanks to my throat. All I can do is cower.
"Hello, there," said the goat monster, "My name is King Asgore, and yours?"
"(Y/-(Y/n)," I manage to choke out.
"What a pretty name," Asgore coos, "Too bad I will be destroying the one that belongs to it," Asgore's kind and gentle face suddenly morphs into something sinister and cruel, "Now, be a good girl and stay still so I can rip the soul out of you!" Asgore lunges at me with a trident, I..
*Jump out of the way and grab the trident before it hits me.
*Flee.
