Chapter 39 - Bloody Forest

Do you know what it's like to see someone you care about just... gone? Just like that?

Toby did. Oh, he had so much experience with it. At first, he had a few friends when he was younger. A few kids that felt bad for him and included him on their games of tag down the street, right across from the small pond located at the end of the town he used to live inside of. He was fully aware that they just felt bad for him, but he didn't mind. They were rather nice, and the games gave Toby a chance of friendship.

Unfortunately, the bullying had outweighed the good, and that resulted in him being homeschooled. The recess games were cut off, and he started seeing his friends less. They still let him play with them, but not so much as before. His sister would sometimes even let Toby play with her and her friends, it was nice.

Alcohol is a funny thing, really. Sure, Toby's Dad was always an a**, but it was just snarky remarks before. He didn't like Toby's tics, he wanted a son he could play football with instead of one that woke up crying every night and needed special attention from his Mother. The gambling was a problem, too, but at least his Father understood that they still needed to have some money for necessities. And his Mother was always firm on the money, to make sure they had enough to buy what they would need. The family was always a bit dysfunctional, but that was okay. With a kid who had as many disabilities and needs as Toby did, and with a gambling Father, they couldn't exactly be perfect.

As life does, however, it went downhill. The kids grew apart, as all friend groups did, and Toby stopped going by the pond. The bullying continued, the tics only seeming to worsen. What really hit the family hard was when his Father actually won a large gamble of three thousand dollars. It was supposed to be a good thing, but instead led to his Father dedicating his life to gambling in beliefs he could earn more. He quit his job, and would spend hours upon hours gambling away their life savings just to earn more money.

Toby and his sister insisted on their mother to leave him, begged for her to see how the man was dragging down the family. The drinking had worsened in him, and he had even hit Toby before. "Oh, don't worry," Their mother would say, "It's okay, he's a good man at heart. I know I just need to help him change."

That's not what he needed, not what the family needed. Their Mother insisted on seeing the good in him, even though the drinking grew worse, and the gambling intensified. Their Father made no effort to better himself, he didn't care enough. Their Mother started working double shifts, even got a second job just to help put food on the table. His older sister had to get a job too, resulting in Toby being home alone with his Father more. That's when the hitting really started, when it was late, and when the two of them were home alone after his Father lost more money to gambling. Toby couldn't feel the physical pain, but the emotional pain was there.

And that pain stayed when his sister was lost in a car accident.

The pain continued when he brought a hatchet down onto his Father.

The pain worsened when he held a match in his fingers to burn down the town, watching the flames surround him.

Then, the pain became quiet whispers when Slenderman appeared in front of him.

It finally disappeared when Sans had arrived that one fateful day, smiling at Toby like he was worth a d*mn.

But the pain returned when the bullets hit.

Watching it was horrifying, Toby wanted to scream. He saw the red dots on his arm, but his body couldn't move. He was in a painful jerk, the only time he could feel physical pain. The time when his muscles contracted and he couldn't move them, standing there as his body seemed to mock him for trying. But then Sans was there, pushing him to the side while summoning a wall of bones in front of the window.

The bones didn't do much. It was a last ditch effort to try and protect himself as he tried to move out of the way, but there hadn't been enough time. The bullets were already being fired, and the wall of bones couldn't handle it. There was no time to do anything but just watch as they hit his bones, his ribcage, as well.

There was no scream, no cry, nothing. Sans just fell, dropping limp onto the ground as his blue hoodie started to stain red with blood.

"S-Sans..." Sally had choked out.

Sans saved his life. Sans pushed him out of the way.

Sans was dying for Toby.

That's when the chaos ensued.

Toby was next to the skeleton before he knew it, crouching down while frantically trying to do something to help. Anxiety built in his chest as his tics worsened, the boy forcing his arms to move through the pain as he tried to help Sans. There was nothing he could do, Sans was a skeleton. Putting pressure to the wounds helped a bit, but they were just bones.

The bullets sounded dull, lessening to background noise as Jane and Jeff were by his side, trying to help Sans. Jeff took off his own hoodie and tried to wrap it around the wounds, but it wouldn't help.

"Is there anything we can do?" Jane yelled to Eyeless Jack, who was now crouched down with them.

That's right. Eyeless Jack used to go to medical school before he became a CreepyPasta.

"Let me think!" He yelled back.

Toby could see the others around him. Sally was now standing in the window, taking bullet after bullet while screaming death threats at everyone outside. Slender went wild, grabbing as many people as he could and simply killing them. All of the more human CreepyPasta were busy protecting them, standing around them.

"We'll cover you!" Tim was yelling, "Help him!"

They managed to kill off more people while Toby helped Eyeless Jack pick up Sans, them looking at Slender. Slender could teleport them out of there, sure, but he was their biggest power house right now. "W-What should w-we do?" Toby asked.

"I-I... We need to get out of here!" Eyeless Jack yelled.

A guard turned to shoot at Tim, but he was suddenly being knocked down and being dragged backwards, disappearing from view into a nearby phone.

Ben?

Toby barely had time to react before Laughing Jack was suddenly grabbing one of the guards as a hand rested on Toby's shoulders, the brown haired boy looking up at Slender before-

He was looking up at trees now.

Toby, Jane, Jeff, and Eyeless Jack were all crouched in the forest now, Sans still in Eyeless Jack's arms.

"Why didn't we do that before?" Jeff yelled.

"Slender probably didn't have an opening, Laughing Jack coming back gave him an opportunity to teleport us all away," Jane said.

The two were out of breath. Blood started to drip onto the forest floor below.

Suddenly, the other CreepyPasta started to appear around the group one by one. The two proxies came first, Hoodie dropping face first onto the ground while Tim landed on his butt. Sally followed, quickly turning towards Sans and rushing to his side, stepping on Hoodie's back in the process. Smile Dog was next, also running with her to Sans, but standing by Jeff's side. They all were a bit slow, all tired from the fight they just had.

Finally, Ben and Laughing Jack appeared with Slender, the two smiling to one another.

"I hope you two had a fun time," Jane hissed.

"Yeha, Laughing Jack made this really funny face and-"

Ben dropped his sentence when he finally noticed Sans, his smile falling flat and his eyes widening. He must have not noticed before, probably because the others had been blocking Sans from view.

"What- What happened?" Ben yelled, rushing to Eyeless Jack to look at Sans.

"My little potato, my sweet little potato... " Laughing trailed off, teleporting next to Sans in a puff of smoke, his voice shaking.

He held out shaking hands towards Sans' face, lightly cupping it. Sans didn't move.

"What took you guys so long?" Slender growled.

"I-I didn't... we didn't..." Ben choked out, shaking his head as he looked at Sans.

"Can't you fix him? You're a doctor, fix him!" Laughing said, grabbing Eyeless Jack's shoulders and lightly shaking him.

"We can't," Smile Dog explained, "He's a skeleton monster, remember what he said before? When we were talking about the resets..."

~~~~~~

"But humans don't have the ability to use magic, so normal medical procedures don't really work on monsters. Our bodies are made of magic, they need magic to heal."

~~~~~~

"I can't... I-I can't do anything," Eyeless Jack hissed, hugging Sans close to his chest. "I'm a Doctor and his boyfriend but I can't do anything!"

"Aren't you made of magic? Can't you heal him?" Tim asked Laughing Jack.

"I don't know how!" Laughing Jack yelled, "I've been trying! I can't!"

"Then what good are you f*cking for!" Jeff shouted, throwing his arms into the air.

"Is Sans going to be okay?" Sally asked, her voice quiet.

Jeff crossed his arms. "Let's just go kidnap a monster and force them to heal him, we might all be tired, but they won't be able to handle all of us."

"Can you f*cking stop being an idiot for five seconds?" Jane snapped.

"She's right, we won't know if they could even heal, either. We need a monster that we know can heal, Sans said most of them can't even heal wounds this serious." Smile Dog looked at Sans. "He's going to die soon if we don't do anything. He won't like this, but Sans did mention someone that he knows can heal really well."

Slender nodded. "I don't think we have much of a choice now."

"But he..." Hoodie said, hesitating. "We don't even know if Undyne will heal him."

"We have to try!" Sally said, holding onto one of Sans' limp hands. "What if he... he doesn't... I don't want Sans to..."

"None of us do," Slender said, resting a hand on Sally's shoulder, "That's why we have to try, and if she says no, we'll just force her. We're CreepyPasta, and when we want something, we'll get it. We have to hope that she'll get her act together and heal him."

~~~~~~

Undyne heard the knock. She made her way to the door, opening it lazily before she froze. Standing on the other side of the door was a blue masked man with an unconscious and bleeding Sans in his arms, bullet holes in his usual blue hoodie.

"Help," The blue masked man choked out, "Please."
