Suddenly, she woke up.
"What the-" she said in a panic, she looked at me and calmed a second. "My child, you have shown to me that you are strong enough to fend for yourself. You may go."
She waved for me to go, but I refused.
"No! Look what I did to you! I'm not gonna leave you here to fend for yourself," I told her.
"Go. I will be fine." She sat up, but with much pain.
"You're badly hurt. All because of me. We need to get you upstairs and bandaged up." I insisted.
Toriel decided it wasn't worth it to fight me on this. I grabbed her hand and helped her up to her feet. Her stomach still bled, but it had slowed down. She put her weight against me as we limped down the hall. Her hand touched my back and a shot of pain went through my back. I yelped.
"O my gosh, are you alright!" Toriel said worried.
I looked at her rather angrily.
"A fireball hit me in the chest, pushing my back into a wall of FIRE! Heck no I'm not alright!" I fumed at her. I saw her guilty look on her face. "But let's worry about you. Okay? Where do we have the bandages?" I asked trying to hide the anger.
"Our food has healing powers mixed into them. They heal us monsters, but they also heal humans," She replied. "The pie I baked could heal us both."
We reached the top of the stairs and I sat her down in her chair. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. I sliced a piece of pie for Toriel and one for me. I ran back in and handed her a slice. We munched down. When we finished, I could tell Toriel was much better. I felt a little better. I got us another slice. We ate that slice too, and soon I felt at full strength. Maybe a few pounds heavier but at full strength.
"Wow, that stuff really works!" I said happily.
Toriel seemed relieved, so I spoke. "Toriel, I have to go. It's my only chance to get to my real home. If I stay here all I will do is worry about my sister and be unhappy," I said. Toriel nodded glumly.
"I known that whatever's out there can kill me, will try to kill me, but believe me. With these bad boys," I said holding up my gloves, "and the motivation to get home, nothing can stop me!" I almost cheered, a confident smile on my face.
"I hope so. Here, I will lead you out." She got up and took my hand.
We walked down the hallway and went to the door. She bent down and hugged me.
"Be brave, my child," Her voice cracked a little. I could tell she was very upset.
"Hey, if I get out maybe me and Frisk will return," I tried to lift her spirits. She smiled.
"I would like that very much," She agreed.
She then got up and opened the door.
"Until we meet again, Favian," Toriel tried to assure me.
"Until we meet again, Toriel." I replied with a smile.
I stepped outside the door and… What the heck!? It was snowing! I turned only to see the door shut behind me. Well shit. How could it possibly be snowing underground? I looked around. It appeared I was in a forest. Trees rose up high until they touched the ceiling. It was cold, wind whipped around my face just like it did climbing the mountain.
The only way out must be through here. There was a path that I started to take. It was oddly quiet as I padded through the snow. I had this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. I walked a little bit faster.
I heard footsteps behind me. I whipped around only to see my own footprints in the snow. I was being watched by something. Walking even faster I continued on. I soon came up to a large stick. I didn't need a weapon like that, so I decided to step over it. As I went away from it, I heard a large snap. I turned again only to see that the stick was broken to bits. Something was here.I continued walking and came to a bridge. I heard heavy footsteps come up behind me. They got closer, even closer; they came up so close to me that I could feel whatever it was almost touching me. I froze.
"human," it spoke almost in a low deep tone, "don't you know how to greet a new pal?" It sounded like a deep voiced man. "turn around and shake my hand," he commanded.
Hmm, I wonder who that is? Oh yeah, everyone knows heh.
