Chapter 2: The Ruins
You and toriel walked to the end of the hallway and opened the door, and the inside of the ruins... was simply... breathtaking: it was coloured a dark reddish-blue colour, with the doors being a dark purple, and having an ornate design painted onto them. After noticing the design, you tapped toriel's shoulder and asked her a question, "What exactly does this design symbolize?", she replied back, "I vill explainen zit later my child. Vee must make haste, lest ze flower komes back to try and kill us." And with that, you gripped toriel's hand again and pulled lightly, signaling toriel to go forward. Picking up on your signal, toriel gave you an intoxicatingly sweet smile and kept walking through the hallways.
As you walked with toriel, you mostly looked around at your surroundings, gazing in wonderment at the complicated architecture and the brightly colored flowers growing all over the place. However, there was one thing you didn't notice at first, but it occurred to you after a few more minutes of walking... you tapped on toriel's shoulder again and asked her a question, "who is the gardener in this place? Come to think of it, why are these flowers not growing in pots or anything, but rather, in random cracks in the ground?", toriel hesitated for a moment before replying, "I know zis may be hard to beliefe, but, no one haz maintanen zese plants for ofer 200 years. In fakt, zis place, 'zee ruins' az zit'z kallen now, used to be a prosperous city, vif more monsterz zen vu kould kounten. But now, zit'z just a shadow of zit'z vormer selv."
You thanked toriel for the answer and you both continued on, with nothing notable happening until much later. At least... You think it was much later, but you can't say for sure, since your memory kinda blacked out after toriel gave you that explaination.
...
Regardless, the next thing you remembered after that, was weird, to say the least. While you were walking, alone, you heard some weird noise: which sounded like a stoned fax machine. Considering the weird nature of this noise, you slowly turned around and faced what it was, it was a GHOST. Or, at least that's what it looked like at first: but upon closer inspection, it looked to be a girl with a sheet over her head. Right when you looked at her, she said "Senpai notice me!", following this, she started crying: but not any ordinary tears, they were anti-gravity tears, ones which started homing in on you. Thinking quickly, you ducked and slid to the right, managing to avoid one tear, but, unfortunately for you, you ended up ramming into at least 3 other tears in the process.
After all the tears finally stopped hitting you, and her taking a temporary break from her crying, you decided to talk to her, "But, i'm your senpai, yandere-chan.", she paused for a second, appearing to contemplate what you had just said: during this time, you decided to distance yourself from her, lest any more tears come your way. After changing position, you waited a minute, after which, she spoke up again "ok... Just get away from me", and with this, she flung out more tears, which you dodged with ease due your spatial advantage. Following the second round of tears, you thought for a moment, "well, she doesn't seem to want me to talk to her, despite the inital plea for me to 'notice her'.", suddenly, your thoughts were interrupted by another wave of tears, but oddly enough, this wave of tears completely avoided you, deliberately dodging you no matter hard you tried to run into them. You thought for a few more minutes, occasionally moving to dodge a few stray tears, until, you had an idea, "so, she has low self-esteem? Ok, i've dealed with her type before: i know what to do." And with that revelation, You spoke again, "hey, i like the color of your eyes. You know, the white matches pretty well with your, uhh... Light-gray body." This time, she replied back, "hey, you seem pretty nice, wanna see a cool trick?", you nodded your head, and she showed you her trick: which consisted of her creating tears, which didn't go towards you, but went over to her: creating a blur around her which you couldn't see through. You waited there, wondering what type of form the ghost could acquire, or if it was something completely different.
Until eventually, the blur disappeared and the girl started walking towards you. You just stood there, not sure how to react or get away without seeming rude, until, your thoughts were interrupted by a wet sensation on your mouth. The girl had kissed you, but, since she didn't have any sort of tongue: all you got was a mouthful of ectoplasm. You swallowed the green liquid, which, oddly enough, tasted like grape jello. The girl noticed you swallow and she smiled and bowed to you, she spoke with a more humanlike voice, "thank you, i spent all my time trapped under this sheet, but now, i'm free. I'm glad you were there for me.", you stared back at the girl once more, and you were stunned to look at her 'new form', she was now anthropomorphic in appearance, with light-gray skin, green eyes, and wearing ornate white clothing. You gave a smile of satisfaction and looked back up, but as you did so, she said one last thing to you, "goodbye.", before disappearing in a cloud of what looked like shredded paper.
...
You didn't really remember much else besides toriel leading you into her house. She slowly opened the door, which was almost twice her size, and stepped in. You soon followed behind, and took a quick look around, staring at the flower patterned walls and the wood flooring: which was beginning to rot with either age or overuse. But you could only look for so long, as toriel soon grabbed your hand and started showing you around the house: the first place she went was down the hallway to the right, she stopped in front of a door and said "zis iz my bedroom, pleaze zu not go in here wifout askink me.", she then took a few steps forward and said "vell, zis iz it, your new room: veel vree to make yourself at home.", she then stopped for a minute and looked over towards the kitchen, she then grew a scared look on her face and said, "Oh, hold on, ze pastriez are burnink!", she then ran off with surprisingly quick speed towards the kitchen, almost tripping over a snail in the process.
You found this kinda strange, however, you just went into your room, and looked around. You saw stuffed animals lining the shelves and a bedside table with a lamb. You yawned and decided to go to bed, seeing as you were tired out by the day's events.
...
You woke up and looked around, the light was turned off, despite you not doing so before you went to bed, and there was a plate on the floor, which had some strawberry flavored toaster pastry on it: you weren't hungry now, but, you put it in your pocket to save it for later.
