Chapter II : Only Death Can Hug You Now

Cold. Cold. Cold.
Dark. Dark. Dark.
The cold that is old and the Dark that barks.
The Cold bites to the bone, the Dark screams until the ears claims mercy.

Everything is lonely, boring, and forbiddens to think 'bout good things, about the life, about the light that shines.

Elena turns around, looking in the shadows to try to recognize something or someone. Nothing. Nothing left. She suddenly looks at her feet, to see her rotten body, enlighted by the cold light of the moon, taken apart by the flowers, that slowly wrap their vines onto the dead corpse, little white worms which eat her tanned skin and her beautiful open eyes, making her sick.

On the merge of throwing up, she closes her eyes, only to listen to the worms that eat her flesh, like a human who eats meat mouth opened.

"Heya you, my beautiful lady, it's now time to rejoin me. With one kiss you are mine."

The white-haired teenager opens her eyes and lets out a shriek. A skeleton in a black gown, a scythe in his hand and his hood on making his face fade in the shadows that only his blue-colored eye can be seen, is just in front of her. Without a move due to her temporary paralysis, the skeleton walks to her and hugs her by her back. Recovering her conciousness, before he could talk into her ear, Elena struggles, hitting with her fist the skeleman in his face, and then get out of his arms, saying senslessly that nothing of that is real, and running the faster she can through the corridor.

"In no time, you'll accept my lips to smash onto yours, and you'll be mine forever, says the skeleton before he disappears"

Then, she stops. What is happening just in front of her eyes is unbelievable. A tall skeleton was talking to a tall white goat. Her eyes widen at the monsters, thinking she is a fool and this is the Death, that this is not real, fictional like the skeleton she just met, but man these ones feel so real.

The white goat, who's wearing a black dress and who has red pupils, continues to walk towards the corridor she has been running through. The tall skeketon, was elegant, wearing a black costume, but Elena keeps her attention on his face. The skeleton's face is smooth, with two cracks, one going from his left eye till the top of his skull, the other going from his right eye to his mouth, his mouth full of spiky teeth, with a shitty grin.

Surprised by the sight, she take a step back, and soon collided with the wall. Turning her head to the left, she can see her rotting corpse from one hundred meters or more. The goat lady continues to walk, reaching the next corridor with the skeleton. She looks at Elena, but her gaze turn, because she's a ghost, no one can see her. But when the man looks at her, his little shitty grin disappears from his face. He gazes in her eyes, surprise surrounding him.

"Who are you? asks the man, curious and very surprised.
-... I.... I..."

It was the only thing she could say. Her ghost body starts to shake, her eyes no longer contain the tears she was keeping. They escaped her eyes and run on her pink cheeks, while Elena is sobbing.

"Hey, why do you-
-Gaster? What the fuck are you talking to the wall?
-Ugh... Toriel... We have a big problem...
-What?
-There is a human ghost in front of me. She...
-Fuck! Don't say I've lost an occasion to kill another human?
-I'm afraid."

Toriel rushes in the corridor, runnin' toward Elena's corpse. Gaster turns his gaze back into her eyes.

"When did you fall? How did you die? Tell me now!"

The aggresivity of his words make tears run away faster, Elena collapes on the floor, on her knees, her eyes blurring with the tons of tears, sobs echoing through the corridor. A warm hand landed on her head, the hotness making her jump, and then relax, the tears' hallway dries, the whinings stop. The white-haired young lady open her eyes, looking at the skeleton, crouching at her height.

"Everything is gonna be alright... If you do what I order you."

Elena cannot believe it. Is he trying to freak her up? Oh man... If she wasn't dead, Elena would have punched him right in his face like the other.

"Heya? What are you trying to do? You frickin' skeleton? It's not 'cause I cry that I'm weak! complain the ghost.
-Ouh... What a beautiful and perfect subject... I can bring you to life, if you want darling, says Gaster with his fuckin' smirk back."

Is... Is he serious? He really can resurrect her? With her tanned skin like before? Elena looks in his eyes, confused by his words.

" You... You..?
-I can do that of course...
-GASTER! GET YOUR FUCKIN' ASS HERE! shouts the white goat, now crouching beside the corpse.
-I'M HERE ONE SECOND! So... I'll talk to you, but now, you follow me or you stay here, you can't flee so do your choice."

The tall skeleton gets up, walking calmly into the hallway. Not wanted to be alone, the white-haired spirit follows Gaster, who reaches finally the room, and the bed of golden flowers, which are trying to take apart her limbs and which grow bigger and larger. These, if they existed before the fall, would have save Elena's life, but the destiny was against that, surely.

When Gaster crouches beside Toriel, Elena allows her to look at her body, now crouching just in front of her head. The young lady's ghostly hands stroke her white hair, that slowly begins to be more translucent. Her red lips are intact, but everything is being eaten by the flowers and insects. Tears escaped her eyes another time, reconstructing the tears' hallway.

"I take her to my lab, I'll resurrect her, says with a monotonous voice the skeleman.
-Glad to hear, because I don't want to see you anymore, you make me lost a human soul, I can't forgive you for that."

Gaster rises his large shoulders, then rises his left hand, envelopping Elena's corpse with a purple aura. Putting his other hand on Elena's spirit, he teleports to his lab.

She opens her eyes, spun around to see the room she's now, while Gaster lays cautionnly her rotten flesh on a white bed. A door opens, making Elena jump from surprise, as Gaster turns around, chocked.

"Dad?! What are you doing?"

             🕳️ 🖤💙❤️~❤️💙🖤🕳️

"Geez... Were can he be...?"

Flow scraches the back of her neck, her gaze locked onto a calm waterfall, waiting.

Suddenly, a purple portal opens, and a female skeleton appears from it. She has the same smooth face and cracks than Flow, but she has, in her dark orbits, purple irises, and her hair is curly and a beautiful brown, with the tip becoming clearer until the end of her mane. Yeah, her hair is a big mane! She's wearing black combat boots with black fur, black jeans, a red crop top, and a leather jacket, without a hood, and a white fur with lil' brown and grey spots inside.

The skeleton has a little smirk on her lips, a joint between her teeth.

"Someone needs my service? asks with a charming voice the woman.
-Yeah... I pretty need you, Hell.
-Glad to hear it, sis. Were shall we start before I wanna kick G's ass?
-Who?
-My G! UGH.... A faint purple comes onto her face. That's not what I mean... Geez... I mean EchoTale!G, from my universe..."

Flow chuckles. Ha ha ha... How can she be so adorable when she talks 'bout her crush...

" HE' S NOT MY CRUSH SCUMBAG!"

Flow forgets that her bestfriend can actually reads in her mind, and becomes embarrassed, and Hell started to blush in a deep purple too.

"It's for all the times you've said that G was my crush... But he's just a fuckin' criminal man! How can I crush on EF!G?
-Simple darling, you love him.
-Butt, it doesn't explain...
-Stop, tibia honest, I see you two together... So sweet. And stop with my jokes, you steal them from me!
-And G too.
-WTF?
-I'm friend with G, says the blue-haired woman.
-HOW CAN YOU? YOU DIDN'T LIKE YOUR G?"

Flow chuckles while Hell is very confused and shocked. She's right, she can bear EchoTale!GasterSans, but not EchoFell!GasterSans. She rises her shoulders as a response, and starts to walk, her friend following her closely.

"So, G is still in Waterfall, we need to find him before he gets to Hotland or return to Snowdin'.
-'kay, replies EchoTale!GasterElena. I'm gonna do the caves, and you the houses. Sound right?
-Right for me."

The two similar go to their way, the brunette walkin' to the end of Waterfall, while the blue returns on her footsteps to ring at doors.

Hell's PoV:
~

Holy crap... I'm gonna get so bored for searching this piece of shit. Yea, my G and him are so similar, that's terrifying. I've seen EchoFell!G before, and in a way he's different from G, very different. Honestly, I know that he hides in the caves, so I can really find him in one hour or less. He can take hostages into their home too, so I sent Flow there beacuse she's efficient for that.

There are five caves in Waterfall, so it cannot take too long, since I can teleport with my portals.

One portal. In a dark cave.

And this is the first cave. Oh boy I'll be so lucky if I find him here. Heya, reader, pray for me please, instead of just read what I'm thinking and doing, I say, winking toward the reader's screen. Yea I can play and break the fourth wall, isn't that cool?

~
??? PoV:
~

A purple portal is invoked. A woman gets out of it, and I froze. Isn't Hell? Isn't the skeleton G is running around for? And I'm correct, a purple flame is ignited in her right eye socket while she is getting deeper in there, getting closer from me.

Yeah I'm so stupid, I'm hidding behind a rock, she'll find me in one second. Think, think bag of bones... Maybe I can kidnapp her? Or make her my hostage so I can be free! 'Cause all I want is to be free far far away from the fights in Grillby's... Oh man, I miss Grillbs. Her magic is getting close, I can feel, her wicked black magic is getting very close from my hiding place.

While she looked behind the rock where I am, I get up, take her in my arms, cover her mouth with one hand, and sit down another time, her on me, confused and angry.

"Hmf Hmf HMF!!! she talks.
-Hun, can you please shut up? I don't wanna go in fights thank you!
-Hmf HMMMF!
-What? I ask her when I take my hand of her mouth.
-I said, you shouldn't do that if you didn't want to in there. I was saying also to the reader that I'm lucky as fuck.
-Ah.
-Shithead, can you release me? Or I'm gonna kill you!
-Hey you don't remember me?
-What? asks surprised Hell, her head lift and she looks at me. Aren't you G? From EchoFell?
-In bones, my dear.
-BUT I KNEW I WAS SEARCHING FOR YOU NOT MY CAT YOU STUPID MOTHERBONER!"

Hell, with her free hand, does a facepalm, while I'm laughing. Her body is so warm against mine, making my spine shiver.

"So, let me go!
-Nope.
-LEMME GO!
-No my beautiful dear.
-Why?
-Because I don't wanna Flow to send me in Grillby's.
-Cool, I won't tell her so.
-How can I believe you?
-If you make me a promise, starts Hell, I won't go tell her.
-What kind of promise?
-A promise that persuade me to shut the fuck up."

I'm thinking... Maybe I can do that.

" We, the Gs, are working on jealousy, like the GasterElenas. And I've listened that he's hanging out with Alphys, so I can tell him that you hang out with your Grillby."

Hell takes a moment to think, her mane emetting a gorgeous perfume.

"Seems fair. Thanks, G. Surprisingly, you can be a good friend.
-Wow... Thanks you
-It's my pleasure, so please get your boney arms the fuck off me!"

I chuckle and take my arms away, Hell sitting now back to the cave's wall. She finally gets up, walking a little, always not so far from me.

"You love Flow, don't cha?"

Her white pupils look at me, my face starts to blush in a deep yellow. Hell crosses her boney arms, a big grin at her smooth face, holding her gaze directly into my eye sockets.

"N-No! This is false! I hate her! She just wants to throw me in jail! To see me fight like a frickin' lion!
-She says the same damn thing when I talk to her. And her, she didn't blush."

Embarresement makes my bone cheeks more yellow, my white pupils become red irises. She hates me? At this point? Yea, I'm a criminal so I'm normally her enemy.

"HELL? WHERE ARE YOU?"

The shout is behind the waterfall, that protects the cave's entrance. A wave of sound make my bones shaking, like Hell's ones.

She gazes at the waterfall, the caracteristic dark blue color of Flow's magic lights up a bit of the entrance.

"I'm here, in this cave..."

Hell gazes at me, nodding and thanking me by a little smile. Her legs walks toward the waterfall, her purple tentacles repelling the water, and letting a sight on the woman skeleton with her blue hair that create a gorgeous blue light. Her dark blue irises inspect the cave.

"No ones's here, Flow, thank God I checked it.
-Sure?
-I'm not G of course! But I found something! He's not far!
-LEMME SEE!
-Heya calm down, you're like Alphys in front of Mew Mew Kissie 4.
-Fuck Hell I don't need to be patient! I need him!
-Well! Lemme one second. Call Undyne.
-M'kay. UNDYNE ! COME SEE WHAT HELL HAS!"

While Flow was shouting and turning her back, Hell takes big steps and comes closer from me.

"Heya, I need your arm.
-My what?
-Your arm! I'll bring you after that okay? Trust me, I make her go away.
-Fine, take it."

With one mouvement of my right arm, I dislock my left arm and hold it to Hell. She takes cautionnly the arm.

"Thanks."

She leaves by running the cave, opening with her magic tentacles another time the water curtain.

Hell's PoV:
~

She gets out of the cave and runs toward EchoFell!GasterElena, that is still shouting at Undyne.

"Heya! Look at this!"

Flow turns around immediatly, looking at G's arm in Hell's right hand. Her orbits open wide, a big smirk at her lips.

"You're a genius sis, I love ya.
-Me too. He surely fights with someone and his arm has been taken apart.
-Yes! We're so close! We have to continue!"

Flow takes the arm, her boney fingers traces circles gently on G's arm. She examines every detail of this arm, and looks at the big hand, touching every centimeter. Hell gazes as her friend, so strange, is looking so interested onto Gaster!Sans' arm. Hell raises her skele-brows, as she continues to touch it and as the arm shivers.

Suddenly, Hell takes violently the boney limb from Flow, making a squeak, and walks. Flow shakes her head, then joins EchoTale!GasterElena, walking toward the end of Waterfall. Hell turns around to face Flow.

"I'll be back, I'm gonna see where Undyne is. Continue and search in the next cave.
-Okay, see ya.
-See ya"

The brunette runs at the opposite way, opening a portal and jumping in. Soon, she is in the cave where G is, jumping from the celling, and landing one knee on the floor.

"So, here your arm"

She gives G's arm back to him, and then continues what she was saying.

"I've made Flow going to another direction, so now you can go back to Snowdin or find a better place to hide. Better than a rock. I hope she'll not get you.
-Thanks you, GasterElena... I don't...
-Don't cha thank me, and you will told to G that I'm hanging out with Grillby, so my plan is perfect. It's my turn to thank you."

Hell walks to G who's already back to the rock, bends toward him, and kiss his forehead, making him blush a deep yellow.

"Thanks ya, friend, see ya soon I hope."

And then she walks toward the exit.

"Hey! Hell? I've a question.
-Yea? says Hell, turning around.
-You love G?"

She smirks, turning around, and repelling the water curtain with her purple tentacles.

"Think what you think"

And then the blue curtain shuts when she gets out of the cave, letting G without responses for now.
