Chapter 3:Escape


Alia was reading a story about some kind of war. Well,she was trying to-She couldn't really understand the words. 

 "Harm...Spell...Souls..."Alia mumbled,staring at the page as though that'd reveal anything. She sighed,"Miss Toriel?"

 "Yes,my child?"Toriel replied from the kitchen. "Are..Are there any other places to get books?"Alia mumbled. "Excuse me."Toriel said. "Where...I uh...Is..Is there another place I can go to get new books?"Alia asked.

 "Quiet,child..There's no way out."Toriel said. Alia could imagine the look on Toriel's face:A haughty glare,as though she were saying she knew everything. Wait,was she using haughty right? "I think haughty means thinking like "Ha! I'm better than you!" "The girl mumbled.

 Alia rembered the door. One way exit,huh? Maybe she could explore the basement and play it off as her being innocent enough to not know about the possible dangers..

But still,if she left,Alia would be trapped outside the door. If a monster attacked her,she'd be defenseless. But,she couldn't stay here! She had to go home! She had to see her family!

'Griffin must be so worried about me,I hope..'Alia thought. She hoped her brother cared enough to help search for her.

 "Child,would you like to hear me read a story?"Toriel asked. "Yes,ma'am."Alia replied. Toriel looked annoyed by Alia calling her ma'am,but that couldn't be right..Toriel was fine with it before..Before the fight. Did the fight affect something?! Alia listened to Toriel read the book,but her mind wandered off quite often.

 It was night and Alia wanted to talk with Flowey. He seemed knowledgeable and acted nicer than how Toriel was acting now,so... The female pulled her hair into a short ponytail. 'That's bound to come loose soon..'She thought,grabbing a forest green sweater and putting it on. It was a little snug on her,but hey-At least it was warm!

Alia made her way to the flower. Said flower was staring at the doorway to the golden flowers. Or was he asleep? "Hello..?"Alia whispered,causing the flower to whirl around to face her.

 "C-Chara!? You're back?!"Flowey asked,wide-eyed. "No,I'm not Chara.."

Flowey laughed. "Good joke,Chara! But c'mon! Let's get out of here!"

 "How exactly are we gonna get out of here?"Alia asked.

 "We're both SOULless,so let's kill a monster and steal a human SOUL!"

 "Are you sure?"Alia asked. "Yep! Now,let's go!"

 "Wait! Toriel's acting weird..She gets upset when I mention leaving and call her ma'am.."

 "What? That's weird..Be careful..If anything else happens,leave the RUINS."Flowey said.

 "I..have another question..Can you show me how the green soul works?"Alia mumbled. "I don't really know..But maybe the shield is important somehow? A girl asked me about the green SOUL too!"

 Alia nodded,"I have to get going. Toriel might get mad at me if she finds out about this.."

 Flowey nodded. "See ya,buddy!"He vanished.

 While walking back to Toriel's,Alia was attacked by some Froggits and Loox. No matter what she did,they attacked without mercy. But strangely,the shield in front of her block some attacks.

  Alia punched the golden flowers once sitting up. "Why me?!" She glanced at the flowers closely. Some were turning white?

 Everything was the same as last time,though...Toriel seemed a little more aggressive? Probably nothing...And some things looked more broken than before..Maybe Alia's just now noticing the ruined state of the underground?

 It was the night Alia talked to Flowey. She repeated the night,expect for the soul question. She ran after that. She ran until she reached the house. Toriel was still asleep,luckily. "I need to go now!"She said,before realizing that she may need extra clothes in case something happened. She grabbed a white a blue sweater and her original sweater. She put both in a bag she found and went downstairs.

 Everything was an eerie quiet as Alia walked to the Ruins doors. "Bye,Toriel.."She mumbled,walking out the doors.

  Alia had been walking for a few minutes,and had come across a bridge. A sharp pain in her abdomen caused Alia to look down. There was a thing coated in blood poking out. Alia ran as fast as she can. Something appeared in front of her,causing her to stumble. The next thing she knew,she was falling.

 Alia glared at the flowers. She was going to escape the Ruins. She was going to find a way home. She repeated everything,acted the same. But when she asked Toriel about going home,Toriel basically threatened her.

  Alia was talking with a Froggit. "The surface is lovely,I guess."She said,causing the Froggit to attack her. Alia managed to block the attack. The Froggit attacked some more. "I-I-I'm sorry!"Alia exclaimed. The Froggit left.

  "Please! I have to go home!"

 "This is your home now!"

 "My home on the surface!"

  "Go to your room!"

  "But-!"

    "Now!"Toriel summoned a fireball,her face almost morphing to something different. Alia ran to her 'room'. It was starting to feel more like a prison cell to her. The whole Ruins felt like prison to Alia. She had to act a certain way in order to live! Alia grabbed her bag-full of supplies-before leaving the room and going downstairs. As expected,Toriel was about to destroy the doors.

 "Please! Stop!"Alia begged.

  "I am doing this for your own good! They-Asgore-will kill you if you leave!"

 "But-! I...I need to get back to my family!"

 "Fine. If you want to leave so badly,fight me. If you win,I'll let you leave. If I win,you stay here."

 Alia dodged fireballs to the best of her ability. She got hit a bit,but hey-she was alive! She was doing better than first time! She decided to Spare Toriel. She continued this until Toriel stopped. "Why must you be so kind? It'll kill you out there.."Toriel said,sighing. "Leave. Do not come crying to me when you get attacked."

 Alia walked to the bridge. She was ready in case of an attack.

 "Human,Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around a shake my hand."A voice said behind her. Alia turned around and-Was that a skeleton? She shook his hand,and a weird noise cane out of it. The skeleton said nothing about it,so Alia dismissed it as her starting to lose it.

 "Come on."The skeleton said,grabbing her wrist and dragging her. "Please let go!"Alia cried out,trying to free herself. The skeleton's grip tightened. "I'm taking you to Undyne."He said. "What?! Why?!"Alia asked. "So we can escape this nightmare."

 "Please! St-"

 "Sans? Who's that?"A voice asked. "It's a human."The skeleton-Sans-replied. "OH MY GOD!"The other-Holy cow,that's a tall skeleton.

Some time later,Alia was sitting in her 'cell'. She could literally just walk through the bars! But,Papyrus looked so happy to capture a human..To keep herself entertained,Alia tried to make theories about her soul.

"Why's it green? Why do I have a shield? Can I move it?"She paused,"Is my soul gonna be used to break the barrier?"
