Chapter 2
You feel like your drifting. You know it's morning and that you should probably wake up soon, but it feels so nice in your bed. Though…..there's something not…quite….right. You frown slightly. Your sleep addled brain trying desperately to come up with a reason why the morning feels off. Rolling onto your back, you strain your ears for a reason you can't quite comprehend at the moment.
All you hear is silence.
...
All you hear is silence?
…
ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE.
No yelling.
No pounding fists on your door.
No demands for you to get up and make breakfast.
Your eyes snap open.
That's right! Ash said he was going out of town and would be gone for the next few days!
You feel excitement well up inside you as you fling yourself out of bed. That excitement is dampened slightly though when your legs buckle underneath you. 'Right.' You think to yourself, 'First aid first, then exciting day.' Gingerly wrapping your arm around your chest you slowly make your way to the bathroom at the end of the hall. Grabbing the first aid kit under the sink, you set to work tightly wrapping your bruised and sore ribs. Once you finish that, you tape some gauze over the cut above your eye before looking at yourself in the mirror and nodding.
Not bad. Just a little sore.
Popping some aspirin in your mouth, you head back towards your room. Changing into a pair of black skinny jeans, a faded green button up shirt, and a pair of tennis shoes you think about how you are going to spend your day. You don't get to go out very often, but you've always loved the outdoors. Going out and spending the entire day at the park sounds like the perfect way to spend one of your free days. Grabbing a light jacket off the foot post of your bed, you make a quick detour to the kitchen to grab a breakfast bar before heading out the door. Fishing around in your pockets for your keys, you find your IPod, headphones, and charger. Shrugging to yourself as you lock the door you turn and start towards the bus stop. It's at 30 minute ride to the park.
You need some way to pass the time.
oOo
You have been here all day.
The trails were comfortably worn down. The sun was bright and warm. The breeze pleasantly cool. The city of Ebott had spent a lot of money creating this nature park at the base of the mountain. The higher parts of the mountain were still blocked off with signs and caution tape (everyone had heard the rumors about the people who went up there) but after several inspections and renovations, the bottom of the mountain was deemed safe for tourists and was turned into the beautiful park you were currently walking through. Now though, it was getting late and you knew that the park would be closing soon. As you start your trek back towards the entrance of the park, you stumble across what appears to be an orphanage field trip (if the 'Ebott city orphanage' logo on the chaperon's t-shirts are anything to go by). You observe them passively from a distance before you see something odd. A small child, who couldn't be older than 10 or eleven, was surrounded by a group of other children at the back of the group.
They were crying into the sleeve of their slightly too-large stripped sweater and trying to hide themselves away from the obviously hurtful words the other kids were saying to them. After what seemed to be a particularly sharp insult from the little boy standing next to them the kid began running away. You glance at the chaperone wondering why they haven't started chasing the kid down yet. Realizing they were too 'preoccupied' with the other children you take it upon yourself to make sure the kid is ok. Looking in the direction the kid ran off in you notice with slight worry that instead of turning right or left at the crossroad, they jump the caution tape and keep running up the path.
You start to run after them.
You're breathing heavily. Your still bruised ribs screaming at the treatment they are all of a sudden receiving. Running as fast as you can, you manage to keep the kid in your sights. You call out to them, desperately trying to get them to at least slow down. Eventually, they clam down enough to hear you and come skidding to a stop. Once you catch up with them you realize how lucky they really are. Stretching out in front of the both of you is a huge ravine. It's deep, pitch black darkness seeming to swallow any light that tries to penetrate its inky depths.
You feel a small shiver make it's way down your spine.
Panting so hard you can barely form the words, you inform the kid that it was too dangerous to be out here and that they should go back to the group. Taking one more look at the huge foreboding hole in the ground the kid agrees, turning and racing back the way they came.
You take a few moments to try and catch your breath. To your ever growing panic, however, it seems to become harder and harder to breath. The constricting bindings on your chest are too tight. They don't allow you to get enough air into your lungs. Spots dance in front of your eyes. You sway back, scrambling to find some footing. A dizzy spell hits you. Your world fades out to black.
You know you are falling.
Then, you don't know anything.
A/N: Alright guys I just have some stuff to clarify before I continue this story. First off, this story is going to be long, slow going, and probably full of short chapters. Sorry. :/ If you are looking for a fast pace 'love at first sight' kind of thing, then go look somewhere else. Second of all, I do not plan on writing any smut. Do NOT ask for it. Things might get a little *cough* HEAVY *cough* but it will never escalate past some making out and heavy petting. Another thing: THIS IS GOING TO BE A REVERSE HAREM SITUATION. If you couldn't tell from the description, the reader falls through multiple timelines and will be spending a substantial amount of time in each one. Not all of the versions of Sans they meet will result in a relationship, but many of them will. Lastly, I update when I want to. there is no set date for my chapters to come up. I could update every day for a week and then not update for several months. If you have a problem with that, I suggest you leave now and wait for when the story is finished before reading it. Other than all that, please just read and review! XD
