A monster knelt on snow covered ground, staring with a mournful expression. "My dear. Please... please don't leave me...," a soft voice pleaded towards the white snow. The wind howled behind her. It nearly drowned out that of another.
"Get out of our village! We don't want you here!" a gruff voice shouted through the blizzard. A pale, hairy arm grabbed the monster's coat and lifted the monster up. "Your kind has retreated. One piece of advice, take yourself and anyone who remains and leave." He threw her onto the ground.
The monster stared at the man in fear but managed to nod. She ran towards the mountain's entrance, sobbing as she ran.
It had been a couple of weeks. Any monster not in the mountain was killed, aside from maybe lingering ghosts, not that she really cared. The lone monster focused on a black and white striped scarf tied around her neck. She was in mourning. She was alone.
And although the King came to comfort her, she found no joy in his words. He was the one who saved them, yes, but he was also the one who led troops into battle, the battle that cost her husband's life. All they needed to do was run. Why did they think that the humans would lose? She buried her head into the scarf.
Suddenly, a hissing noise filled the room. The monster whipped her head towards the sound. It was a medium-sized humanoid monster with a skeletal appearance. It held two beakers in its hands. The skeletal face looked stunned. He quickly recovered, however, and began to laugh nervously. "Guess uh... too much sodium bicarbonate and an acidic base will cause that." He gestured to the foam shooting from the beakers and spilling onto the floor.
The monster couldn't help but crack a small smile.
The skeleton moved his way over to the other monster and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I know what happened, and I'm sorry. I've watched everyone for days on end, and have tried to make people smile. I'm glad that you did smile at least a little."
She blinked. "That was an act?"
The skeleton scoffed and flashed a confident smile. "Do you think that I, a scientist, wouldn't know what would happen if you mixed certain chemicals together? Especially if those two things were baking soda and vinegar? Anyway, I've got to act a fool for countless other monsters. Hopefully, I'll see you around."
The monster nodded and smiled once again. "See ya."
We have to find them," Chara shouted as she and Frisk ran towards Mount Ebbot.
Frisk said nothing.
Chara growled. "I bet it was Gilda. I BET YOU THAT! SHE KNEW HOW IMPORTANT THEY ALL WERE!"
Frisk nodded. "Don't you think we should have told someone where we were going?"
"Nah. I want to have this privilege to myself. She took my brother and my dad. Now she's going to pay."
Gaster glanced at a quickly scribbled note, lying on the table while walking to the refrigerator.
"Dear family,
Um... well Chara wanted to go find whoever is the cause of the monsters going missing. And um... well three are now missing from this household, including um... Asriel... so we'll be back.
PS. Um... please follow the path leading to the mountain. I think there might be a trap or something. Sure seems like a good spot for one."
"Whatcha reading?" Calibri questioned, staring at the note in question.
Gaster rubbed his skull with a few fingers. "Why must we do this today? The last few days have been stressful enough." He sighed. "We're going after Chara and Frisk."
Calibri frowned. "Where'd they go?"
"Mount Ebbot." He started walking out of the door. "It is far too early for this and they know it."'
Calibri quickly followed behind. "There must be a reason, right? Not just a day trip to scenic prison."
Gaster nodded. "Someone kidnapped Asriel, I think."
Calibri was taken aback. "What? Then we have to hurry! The King's son is an important member of the family!"
Gaster sighed once again and created a gray door that led to the mountain. "Through here and we should be there before they are." He opened the door for Calibri.
Calibri grinned. "Oh man! That's really cool! Where'd you learn to do that?"
"Long story just go through the door."
Calibri nodded and walked through. Gaster then walked through the door and caused it to vanish from sight.
Gilda grinned slyly at her army of blue. "This is going to be great." She held a piece of a white cloth and stroked it lovingly. "I'm terribly sorry that he had to struggle and that this all had to happen, but it was simply the only way." She jumped down to her subjects and walked past them.
There were approximately fifty monsters standing in lines. Some were tall, some small, one training dummy, one really buff seahorse. All were tinted a strange blue color, even those who had either thin skin or no skin.
She walked through the lines, marveling at her deed when she spotted a monster that made her recoil. It was a tall, fluffy monster sporting an apron.
"King Asgore." She made her way over to him. "How? How are you here? This magic only works on those who died in another time. And I had to have had the dust for it." She searched her pockets and pulled out a yellow flower. "It must have happened at some point. My magic doesn't lie, but who would kill the king?"
The ex-king did not speak and only stared ahead.
Gilda gulped. "Alright. I guess I can see this as a good thing. Afterall, who in the underground could take down a boss monster?" She suppressed some new feelings of nervousness and grinned. "I can consider my plan to be a success."
Done! So alright. I'm sorry again. I'm alive, yes. Given up, no. Just had a long writer's block. Also, I was in some other fandoms for a while. Right now I would technically be in the Zelda fandom still. (GUYS BOTW IS SOOO GOOD) I'm going to be honest right away and say, I may update less frequently than I did before. I can't really do daily updates but I hope you don't walk from this. Anyway, thank you for reading guys! Bye!
