"-Shit!"
   Sora peeked out from the kitchen, a plate of french toast in her hand. "What wrong??"
   "Papyrus is gone!" Sans responded, a distraught tone in his voice.
   Sora flinched, her ears pinning back. "Wh-Where would Papyrus have gone??"
   "I have no idea. But I'm hoping he's just out getting food or something, and not doing something stupid," Sans mumbled, picking up his phone and dialing his brother's number.
His heart sank as he heard the faint sound of Papyrus's ringtone, coming from his room. "Dammit... Of course he left his phone..." He sighed, plopping down on the couch. "Well... I'm gonna wait it out for a little bit. Maybe he's going somewhere and then coming right back, and I'm freaking out about nothing."
"Sora sure it all turn out fine. Papyrus can take care of self, Sans know this." The dragon sat down next to Sans, handing him the plate of french toast.
Sans gave a slight smile, but it was forced. "Thanks Sora. You're the best."

Meanwhile, in the heart of Waterfall, a medium-sized, fluffy creature was wandering around, as if looking for something. His expression was unreadable, particularly due to the dragon-like skull that covered his face.
The creature whimpered, wordlessly praying that he'd find his owner soon. They were really closely bonded, so it was unlike him to just disappear on him like he did.
Finally, after what had seemed like ages of finding nothing, he caught scent of him. Sure, it was faint, and it didn't exactly match his owner's, but it was better than nothing.
Hopeful, he ran towards the direction of the familiar scent, a series of small, yet excited barks escaping him.
'Cyburrus! Dear god, I hope this is really you!'
But when he reached the source of the scent, he was taken aback by the sight that greeted him.
Standing merely a few yards from him was a massive skeletal beast, with glowing neon-green eyes and curved, ram-like horns extending past its cheekbones. Looking down its body, the fluffy creature noticed several band-related tattoos, all of which were connected to the human band called "Three Days Grace". The tattoos were the only evidence he needed to figure out who it was.
'Oh god... Cyburrus... What happened to you?'
He cautiously took a step forward, his fur bristling out with both fear, and as an attempt to make himself appear larger than he truly was. He barked, in hopes that he could get his owner's attention.
The beast's head snapped over to him, its neon-green gaze boring into him. It let out a low growl, turning the rest of its body to face the creature.
"Arrrrrrrkannnnnn..." the skeletal monster hissed, without a hint of his regular voice being present within the depths of the beast's deep growl.
The fluffy creature flinched at the sound of his name, not expecting this beast to have been capable of saying it. He squeaked, taking a few more cautious steps towards the monster, his ears pinning back against his skull.
The beast suddenly let out a booming roar, lunging down at Arkan with incredible speed. Arkan yelped and jumped back, immediately twisting around and making a run from it.
The creature roared again, stomping its foot on the ground angrily, but choosing not to give chase, for some reason. Maybe on some level, it knew what would happen if it attacked the poor fluffy animal. Arkan was tiny. A single bite could have done serious damage to him.
Still, something within the beast's mind was crying at the thought of what it had just done to his beloved pet.
Dammit... Why can't I just have control for even a couple minutes?

   A fluffy red Dutch Angel Dragon peeked out from  under the desk, his ears flattened against his head. "I-Is the coast clear?"
   He looked around, the light reflecting off his glasses eerily and making it look as though his eyes were completely white. He sighed, crawling out from beneath his hiding spot, wincing as he felt a jolt of pain through his leg.
   He carefully lifted the bottom of his lab coat and looked down, inhaling sharply between his teeth at the site of the wound. There was a huge gash running down his thigh, with blood still gushing from it.
   "Hmm... I wonder why it hasn't infected me yet... The effects seemed immediate with all the others..."
   He looked around once more, as if making sure nobody else was coming to hunt him down. "Eh, well, all I'm doing here is posing a risk to others. I should probably go and try to put myself in containment down here.
  He turned back towards an abandoned hallway, and he ran as fast as he could go down it, eventually finding one of the old experiment rooms. He darted inside and locked the door, sealing himself away from everyone else.
   "Okay... Lets see here..." He looked down at his wound once more, his heart skipping a beat as he suddenly realized that the gash was healing itself. "Huh... That's new..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   "Okay, we've waited almost the entire day, and he's still not back. As much as I hate to do it, I wanna go look for him."
   Sora looked at her boyfriend in surprise, her eyes flashing different colors in confusion. "But..."
   "I know what I said before. But... this is different. He's my bro. I gotta know that he's okay," Sans replied, standing up and turning his gaze towards the front door as he slipped on his jacket. "I want you to stay here though. Just in case thing go to shit."
   Sora opened her mouth to protest, but quickly closed it again. It wasn't worth arguing with the skeleton about it. She merely watched wordlessly as Sans opened the door and stepped outside, immediately becoming engulfed in the swirling snowstorm outside.
   "Oh Sans... Sora hope you not get hurt..."

   Okay! I know this was a shorter chapter, but trust me, the next one will be normal length. ;3
   As I've mentioned before, any OCs mentioned in here should be in my OC book... all except for Arkan. I'll add him eventually, but as of right now, he's not there.
   He's a Toy Demon (you'll meet another one briefly in the next chapter), and he's the companion of my skelesona (Cyburrus). I have his design sketched out, but I never finished it, oof.

   Everybody else should be in there, including Cyburrus and the "red Dutch Angel Dragon", whose name is Comet.
   Anyway! Hope you guys enjoyed! And I'll see you in the next update!
   Until then, stay determined!
