So, here I am. Walking through the Ruins. Alone. No Toriel or anyone except for myself.............

'Ugh! Can you move any slower?!' And my new brain 'pal', Chara. She's been like this ever since our previous argument. What were we arguing about? About killing the Froggit or sparing it.

Flashback~

'COME ON!! Why don't you turn this blasted frog monster into dust?!'

'I told you. I am not going kill any monsters, even if they are frog monsters.' I repeated, pointing to the slightly confused Froggit. He wanted to fight us but there is an option on performing an ¨ACT¨. I wanted to take that chance, but Chara objected and told me to kill it. 'Besides, killing can fill a person with guilt and stress!'

'UGH!!!!!! Of all the children that came down here, I get stuck with YOU?!!!' she whined and pouted. I ignored her petty excuse of convincing and finished sparing the Froggit in time. She stayed quiet but after a few minutes, went back to complaining again.

Flashback Ends~

I sighed and walked towards the open gate. In the next room, it looked the same except for the pile of leaves on the floor. I remember jumping in leaf piles when it was fall up in the surface, it all seemed like a distant memory. But, it has only been 3 days of being down here! I loved it down here; Toriel has been the greatest mom and she even gave me my own cellphone! However, she told me it is for emergencies, ONLY. So, I just kept it in my black backpack and didn't even bother to look at it.

As I walked towards the leaf pile, I realize that it was occupied; much to my disappointment. Then, the most peculiar thing happened: There was a ghost 'sleeping' on top of the pile! It had oval eyes, a line going down between both eyes, and a small frown. He looked depressed and the atmosphere around him seemed.........sad. I guess his feelings altered mine because I started to feel sad as well.

'Huh. It must be what ghosts can do like in all of the paranormal shows on TV say.' I thought, curiously. I don't think he wanted to talk because the ghost tries to act like he is sleeping. Although it looked like he didn't want anyone bothering him, I couldn't help but feel pity for the ghost.

'GOD!!! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, YOU TRANSPARENT SACK OF NOTHING!!!' Chara screamed. I guess she has anger issues, huh?

I walked slowly towards the depressed ghost and kneeled down on the floor to get a little closer. To be honest, he looked super adorable even though he looks extremely upset. As I got closer, he seemed to say 'Zzzzzzzz' a lot louder; which would be a clear indication from others to leave him alone.

'Lily, leave the crybaby alone. He might get a 'tantrum' and then we'll both be in trouble.' she advised. But I didn't listen to her and rubbed his forehead to comfort him. The ghost suddenly shot up and stared at me, bewildered.

¨W-What are you d-doing?...........¨ he responded, his voice quiet but still low to suggest the ghost is a male. I stared at him back, blinking rapidly in confusion.

¨Hi. I'm Lily, I just wanted to see if you're okay.¨ I explained, giving him a small smile. He tilted his head and looked at me weirdly.

¨H-Hey, aren't you a h-human?..........¨ the ghost asked, nervously and started to slowly disappear.

¨Wait!¨ I called to him and he stopped hesitantly. I sighed and looked at the ghost with kind eyes. ¨If you think I am going to hurt you, I'm not. I made a promise to a friend that I would NEVER hurt a monster.¨

That is what caught the ghost's interest and he gave me a soft smile. He suddenly frowned. ¨I-I'm sorry, I d-didn't introduce myself. I am so s-sorry for being so r-rude.¨ he sobbed, acidic tears falling towards me. I gasped and quickly dodged the tears as best as I could, but one of the tears hit my skin. I held in my screams as I looked down at the burning, bubbling part of my arm.

It hurt like crazy and, when looking at my HP, my health was at 15! ¨No, no! I-It's fine! People forget to do stuff all the time! It is nothing to fuss about.¨ I comforted, softly. He sniffled and looked at me happily before looking at my arm.

¨Oh no! I......I hurt you! I am so s-sorry! I am such a fool!¨ the ghost cried as more tears came towards me. Again, I had to avoid the tears that came falling down but fell and got two tears to the leg. I bit my lip, hard, and held my leg in pain.

¨I-It's fine! I can heal later! Just, please stop crying.¨ I asked, trying my best to stand up. He looked down and continued to sniffle a little bit. He kept whispering 'I'm sorry's and calling himself stupid and what not. I know what I had to do, even if my HP is at 10............

'Nuh-uh! Don't you dare do it.' Chara growled menacingly.

I ignored what she said and gave the ghost a big hug. You would think hugging a ghost is impossible, but, somehow, I was able to hug him. He felt so soft and almost squishy, like a marshmallow. He went quiet and was frozen to where he was. I hugged him a little tighter and whispered, softly.

¨It's okay, everything is okay. I understand how you feel. I get sad all the time but it sometimes helps........¨ 'DON'T. YOU. DARE........'

¨To hug and talk it out.¨ I reassured him. He was hesitant and nodded while whispering a sad ok. I let go of him and sat on the floor, his floating form mimicking my movements. ¨So, tell me everything.¨

And that was how it went. He told me his name was Napstablook and that he lives over at some place called Waterfall. He spilled out why he was so depressed and how he was able to cope with it. He said making music helped him feel better and even let me listen to one of his songs he made. He had it on an I-pod and we listened silently to the slow, emotional music. After that, he went into detail how he doesn't remember his parents and the only people that are close to family were his cousins and snails.

When I asked him why he has snails as pets, he shrugged and says he just likes them. This went on for an hour and a half before I told him I had to leave. Napstablook looked down, sadly. It hurt me to see him upset after all the time we spent together. So, after giving him a hug and a good-bye, I started walking back to Toriel's house. I was starving and texted her that I was coming home.

'You should've just killed him.' Chara mumbled, 'He could have taken your soul to Asgore and then we would both be done for.' There was that name again: Asgore. A lot of the monsters I met kept saying this person's name like they were.........afraid of Asgore? To quench my thirst for knowledge, I decided to ask my ¨roommate¨ about it.

'Hey Chara?' I asked and she mumbled a yes under her breath. 'Who's Asgore?' That quieted the little she-devil for that small moment. I grew even more concerned when those few seconds became a full minute. Was this 'Asgore' a bad person? Why does he want our soul? I use he because the name sounds more masculine. As if on cue, Chara finally answered me with a short and disturbing answer.

'Asgore is the King of the Underground........... my father.' I gasped at the new-founded secret. Her father?! How could a human want to destroy his own kind for another?............... Well, I mean I was betraying my kind, not exactly killing them. But, this king wants to collect my soul all for monsters? Before I could say anything else, I caught sight of Toriel's house and ran up the steps to the front door.

~Time Skip~

Ever since Chara told me about Asgore, I have been itching to ask Goat Mom about Asgore and ask if I could take a trip to confront the king. I've thought about telling her during supper, but discarded the idea when Toriel stressed herself out just making food to my liking. I felt extremely spoiled but, because I was taught to eat everything on my plate, I ate without complaining. Later, when looking for Toriel, I found her in the living-room; enjoying a good book.

'I don't know, Chara. I don't want to hurt her feelings.' 'Hey! Do you want to save monsters or not?! This is your only chance to ask her!' she snapped. I sighed and walked towards where Toriel sat near the fireplace. When I approached her, she smiled and raised her book up to show me.

¨Hello, my child. Did you want to hear about the book I am reading? It is called, "72 Uses for Snails." How about it?¨ she suggested, looking at me with motherly kindness. I looked down and took a breath before asking.

¨How do I get out of the Ruins?¨

She stopped and thought for a moment before acting like I didn't say anything. ¨Um. . . How about an exciting snail fact? Did you know that snails. . . Some flip their digestive systems as they mature? Interesting.¨ I kind of gagged at the fact and thought how could that kind of fact sound interesting. I quickly shook my head in frustration. I have to focus on the situation at hand: Toriel is dodging the question.

¨That's sounds interesting but I need to know how to exit the Ruins. I'll call you everyday so you'll know I am safe.¨ I reassured her, looking at her with pleading eyes. She looked upset at what I asked her and simply stood up from her seat. I was afraid that I was going to be hit but she simply said this: ¨I have to do something. Stay here.¨ And walked out of the room.

'Follow her.' the little witch in my head told me. I sighed and, reluctantly, followed Toriel down some steps and into the basement. She suddenly stopped and told me, without looking at me. ¨You wish to know how to return, "home," do you not? Ahead of us lies the end of the RUINS. A one-way exit to the rest of the underground. I am going to destroy it. No one will ever be able to leave again. Now be a good child and go upstairs.¨ She quickly walked away and turned towards a corridor.

I was shocked. How could she do that?! I thought telling her and comforting her about my safety would be enough. But, she basically set my own fate by her standards! I thought bitterly. 'So, are we going to kill Goat Mom?' Chara asked excitedly. God, she was so creepy! Killing her is not going to be the best solution, it will only make matters worse.

'No. I have to stop her. There is no other choice: I have to disobey Toriel.' I proclaimed to my 'pal' as I walked down the empty corridor.
