Stereotale chapter 5: sans
A/N: I know it's been forever, but I've had a lot to deal with over the past few months. I'm not going into detail, but just know that I pretty much lost all inspiration for a long time. But anyway, im gonna revive this series, and I will try to work on it more often. Thanks for sticking with me.
After you heard papyrus walk away, you quickly stuck your head out from behind the lamp and looked: double checking that papyrus, was in fact, gone: and just as you thought: the nicely dressed skeleton was long gone - leaving to do his 'royal guard' duties -. With this knowledge in mind, you took one slow and cautious step out from the lamp, which, unfortunately for you, didn't take you very far; given the fact that you were still on edge from hiding in fear, and that the cold had nearly frozen your legs - which were only protected a thin pair of pants -, you stumbled and fell into the snow, your face hitting the icy ground with an audible thump. As if on cue, you heard a laugh come from sans, who was standing right next to you, and, trying to cover his mouth, unsuccessfully stifling the laugh, which you clearly heard. Following this, you got up from the snow and brushed yourself off, before proceeding to glare at sans; which must've scared sans a bit, as he took a step backwards, and stopped laughing. "Whoa there… I-i didn't mean to offend you." Sans stammered nervously as he spoke - still a bit shaken from your angry expression - "I was only joking. alright?" You stopped glaring at sans, and tried to take another step forward, but, since your knees were still cold, you stumbled yet again: this time catching yourself on sans' hoodie, which, surprisingly, managed to hold your weight. You gripped even harder, causing you to start pulling the hoodie off of sans, to which Sans clearly felt a bit uncomfortable, as he tried to shy away in reaction to your touch; but, sans couldn't move, as the force of your grip was too strong for him to break away from. Feeling your grip starting to fade, you decided to call out to sans, "Hey! Mind offering me a hand or something? Can't you see I'm having a bit of trouble?", frustration clearly audible in your voice.
Sans must've picked up on the frustration in your voice, as he proceeded to hold out a hand towards you; you let go of his hoodie, grabbed onto his hand, and after a bit of pulling, you were back up on your feet - now holding onto sans' shoulder for support -. Once you were upright, you took a few deep breaths before slowly starting to walk away, after a few steps, you were gonna start running, but just before you could start running down the path; you heard sans call out to you, "Wait! Before you go…" you sighed and turned around "I have a bit of a… well… thing that could help you out. Come here", he said as he gestured for you to come over. Reluctantly, you strode over to sans - walking with all the grace of a drunken horse, and all the precision of a one eyed archer - and you stared at him, giving an expression which said, "hey! What the hell are you waiting for?" Sans - sensing your impatience - got down on one knee and spoke, "hold still." he said, before proceeding to rub his finger over your leg, stopping just above your kneecap. You were about to run away, thinking that you were just about to be raped by a skeleton; however, you stopped when you saw sans' hand, which was glowing with a strange blue aura. You were about to ask why his hand was glowing, but before you could, you saw a flash, and just like that, the aura was gone, and so was the paralysis in your leg.
You tried moving your leg, and just as you thought, it moved perfectly: as if nothing happened. You smiled at sans and gave a hasty "thank you"; before proceeding to run down the trail, excited about what lies ahead.

A/N:
This is only a preview sort of deal. I will finish writing chapter 6 very soon; I can't give a definite release date, but I'd say the end of next week is a good estimate.
