I brushed some dirt from my shirt and ate the extra pie Toriel left for me at the exit. I was, currently, leaning against the door and eating the warm dessert. My shirt was torn at the sleeve, singed at the bottom, and overall covered in dry blood. My skinny jeans were ripped partly on my thigh and knees, but my sweater was able to cover the tear on my thigh. However, it isn't completely covered. As I looked down at my jeans, I desperately attempt to cover the rip but I give up on my tenth try and just ignored it. My face is slightly dirty; clean enough to look presentable. A cut is still on my cheek from where I was hit by Toriel. My hair was falling down from its ponytail but when I tried to put it up again, the elastic snapped and I was forced to keep my hair to the side; almost covering half of my face.

After finishing the pie, I looked up at my HP bar and was relieved to see it max out. I placed the plate and fork in front of the entrance of the Ruins and walked forward to the winter forest in front of me. An icy pathway was made with knarly, bare trees on either side of it. Although a little concerned about the slippery terrain, I couldn't go into the dense forest and risk getting lost. I sighed and started, carefully, walking on the path. The sky was slightly dark but, surprisingly, it was light enough to see everything ahead of me. With each crunching step and each flurry falling, I started to feel uneasy. I felt like I was being watched, stalked even!  I quickened my pace and as I was walking, I heard the crunching of another pair of feet behind me.

But, when I turned around, I didn't see anyone and I could only see the footprints of someone that WAS following me. I shivered at the footsteps and, cautiously, went back to walking on the path. Every step made me feel more nervous. My breathing coming out heavy. My steps coming out wobbly due to my nervous state. Every now and then, I would hear the footsteps of someone, the snapping of twigs, or the wind picking up like someone just ran by me. Each movement made me jumpy and push me into getting out of this place of horrors.

Suddenly, right before me, is what looks like a barricade, or someone attempting to create a barricade. I stood there for a second, wondering why anyone would make a barricade. Before I could start walking, I felt the breathing of someone behind me; a male breathing at my neck and sending my nerves in a frenzy. I froze and my eyes widened; my face like a fawn without its mother. I was preparing for the guy to kill me or knock me out, but nothing happened for a few seconds.

'Oh god. Please don't tell me I'm going to die.'

'You're gonna die.' Chara said, the feeling of an evil grin on her face.

'I hate you.'

'I know and I don't mind at all.'

Before I could start arguing with Chara, the male behind me gave a low chuckle; making me shiver since he's right behind me.

¨Human.¨ he stated. I know trying to run away would be asking to die, so I kept my body frozen. He let out another breathy chuckle and went back to talking to me. His voice low and intimidating; and his breath smelling of...........ketchup? Man, has this guy been drinking packets of ketchup?!

¨Don't you know how to greet a new pal?¨ he asked, ¨Turn around and shake my hand.¨ Reluctantly, I turned around but looked down at the ground; ready to accept defeat and die. He offered his hand out, startling me at the process. I quickly offered my hand in a shake. Big mistake. When I took his hand. a loud fart sound came and I jumped pulling my hand away. Then, I started laughing at how I fell for that. When I looked up, I was shocked to see a skeleton with a blue jacket, black shorts with a white stripe on the pant legs, and pink slippers.

He had a grin on his face and his eyes were just white pinpricks in his eye sockets. He let out a small laugh; his laugh low but jolly.

¨hehehe..........the old whoopee cusion in the hand trick. it's ALWAYS funny.¨ I nodded; trying to control my breathing from all of the laughing. ¨You got me!¨ I giggled, holding my stomach. His smile widened and he placed the used whoopee cusion in his pocket.

¨anyways, you're a human, right?¨ he asked, which I quickly nodded and wiping the tears from my eyes.

'Hey, this skeleton isn't that bad.'

'Don't be fooled by his humorous behavior.' the child warned.

'Oh, Chara. You hate everyone. He is probably a good guy.' I reassured her, smiling to myself.

¨that's hilarious. i'm sans. sans the skeleton. i'm actually supposed to be on the watch for humans right now.¨ Oh god.

'Told ya.'

I gulped. Is Sans going to take me to Asgore? Please, Naomi, if you can hear me, please don't let my life end like this.

¨but.......y'know.........i don't really care about capturing anybody.¨ I let out a breath of relief. ¨now my brother, papyrus..........¨ Oh no. ¨he's a human-hunting FANATIC.¨

Great, now I have to deal with his brother hunting me down. I don't want to hurt anybody, but I want to live to. 'I told you, you need to get into habit of killing monsters. You'll feel less remorse the more you kill.' Argh, she's right. But, I can't help the monsters if I am killing all of them! 'Sorry, Chara. You know how I feel about that.' at that she let out a huff of displeasure.

¨hey, actually. I think that's him over there. i have an idea. go through this gate thingy. yeah, go through. my bro made the bars too wide to stop anybody.¨ I listened to Sans and went right through the gate with him following behind me. After walking some feet, we approach what looks like a station. Like those little stands that you see people sell stuff.

¨quick, behind the convenietly-fitting sentry station.¨ he urged me and I ran behind the station; hiding in one of its compartments. All I could see is darkness and bottles of ketchup and mustard. Suddenly, I hear the crunching of snow from the left of me and I froze; keeping my breathing quiet.

¨sup, bro?¨ Sans greeted someone.

¨YOU KNOW WHAT'S 'UP', BROTHER! IT'S BEEN EIGHT DAYS AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T.......RECALIBRATED. YOUR. PUZZLES!¨ a high and loud voice exclaimed. Puzzles? How is that supposed to stop anybody? Even I can pass something as simple as a puzzle. Unless................is this loud skeleton the ONLY one that uses puzzles on humans? If that is so, then I am kind of BONED at this point. I held in a giggle at my little skeleton joke.

¨YOU JUST HANG AROUND OUTSIDE YOUR STATION! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?!?¨

¨staring at this new compartment in the station.¨ he said coming over where I was hiding. Oh no, please don't Sans. ¨it's really cool. do you wanna look?¨

¨NO!! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT!!¨ the other skeleton, pouted; stomping his feet onto the snowy ground. ¨WHAT IF A HUMAN COMES THROUGH HERE!?! I WANT TO BE READY!!! I WILL BE THE ONE! I MUST BE THE ONE! I WILL CAPTURE A HUMAN! THEN, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS.......¨ I stifled a laugh as I heard this skeleton nag and give himself a title. It was kind of adorable; I felt this was his younger brother. 'Aw. He must be so small and adorable!' I thought to myself, gushing over how cute his brother may be. I stopped thinking to hear what else ¨The Great Papyrus¨ has to say.

¨WILL GET ALL THE THINGS I UTTERLY DESERVE! RESPECT......RECOGNITION....... I WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD! PEOPLE WILL ASK, TO, BE MY, 'FRIEND?'I WILL BATHE IN A SHOWER OF KISSES EVERY MORNING.¨

¨hmmm..........maybe this compartment will help you.¨ he suggested with a cheeky grin. I let out a quiet giggle at Sans' humour. I heard Papyrus stomping at the ground again.

¨SANS!! YOU ARE NOT HELPING!! YOU LAZYBONES!! ALL YOU DO IS SIT AND BOONDOGGLE!! YOU GET LAZIER AND LAZIER EVERYDAY!!!¨ Man, Papyrus has very good vocabulary.

¨hey, take it easy. i've gotten a ton of work done today. a skele-ton¨ he said, sending a playful wink at me. I choked and started quietely slamming my fist onto the ground; trying to keep a laugh in. Man, this guy is killing me!

¨SANS!!!¨ Guess he doesn't like puns.

¨come on. you're smiling.¨

¨I AM AND I HATE IT!¨ he yelled and then, he sighed. ¨WHY DOES SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME...............HAVE TO DO SO MUCH JUST TO GET SOME RECOGNITION..........¨

¨wow, sounds like you're really working yourself............down to the bone.¨ Sans joked, giving me another wink. My giggles have stopped and all I could do is smile; while shaking my head. 'Oh, I feel bad for Papyrus.'

¨UGH!!!! I WILL ATTEND TO MY PUZZLES...........AS FOR YOUR WORK? PUT A LITTLE MORE, 'BACKBONE' INTO IT!!!!!!!! NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!!!¨ Then, I heard Papyrus walk off but heard him coming back. ¨HEH!¨ Finally, he left. I sighed in relief and giggled at how the two skele-bros bicker. It was kind of adorable. In a not-so-weird way, you know.

¨ok, you can come out now.¨ Sans signalled.

¨Umm. We may have a problem.¨

¨hmmm? and what's that kiddo?¨ he looked down to where I was.

¨Hehe. Here's the simple story: I may be stuck.¨ I struggled to say, trying to squirm out. He laughed and spent some 20 minutes trying to get me out of the 'convenietnly-fitting' compartment.
