Chapter 5
After a minute of looking at me, Frisk looks back at the TV. I sigh and move my hand to my neck. I massage the sore muscle, wincing at the pain it brought.
Soon I feel myself getting close to slumber, so I close my eyes and fall asleep.
*Time skip. Again. Sorry.*
I'm woken up by someone screaming.
I curse and crack open one eye.
And my god. The scene in front of me. My god.
My aunt is there. She's standing up, and the one screaming. My director is there too, and he's trying to calm my aunt down. Sans and the goat creature from before, and another goat creature, are all standing up against my aunt and my director.
I'm guessing I'm still in Papyrus's lap, but when I see him come out of the kitchen with a plate a spaghetti, I look up. My head is resting in the lap of a fish woman with long red hair. I blink before also seeing a lizard-type monster peeking over the edge of the couch.
Frisk is still on the floor, but has turned off the TV and fallen asleep with my hand still in her grasp. I wiggle my hand out of her grasp, and after a minute she lets it go. However I end up waking her up.
The fish lady whom I'm using her lap as a pillow, sees me stirring and yells. "Hey, punks. The human is awake."
I cringe against her loud voice, before sitting up. Which makes the cloth around my neck, that I didn't realize was there, fall off.
My director and aunt both look at my neck. My director angry as all hell, and my aunt panicked. She soon gains her composure and opens her mouth, probably to say something along the lines of what did you monsters do to my beautiful niece, but I raise my hand up.
I cough once before I swing my feet over the edge of the couch and stand up. I'm shaky, but I'm able to stand. Which is great.
As soon as I stand up my aunt hurries towards me, but I side-step out of her path before she reaches me. "Please don't touch me with your nasty hands." I say, calmly before walking over to my director. "Hey there. I need to talk to you."
He nods. I turn to the group of people that took care of me. I bow and say, "Thank you very much for your hospitality. I don't want to be anymore of a burden to you, but may I borrow your kitchen for a little?"
The female goat-creature nods. "Thank you very much..." I trail off waiting for her name.
"Toriel." She responds with.
"Thank you very much, Toriel. I'm sorry if I take longer then needed. I just don't know my way home, nor do I think I could make it home. Also I want to resolve this as soon as possible." She nods again and I pick up my aunt with my magic and place her in a chair in the kitchen. "Sans, I'm gonna need you to come with me too. And also Frisk can come as well if she wants."
Frisk shakes her head and climbs onto the lap of the fish lady. The fish lady wraps her arms around Frisk, letting Frisk fall asleep against her.
I look at Sans who just shrugs before going into the kitchen. My director follows and I look back at the family before saying, "Thank you again." Before turning and entering the kitchen myself.
As I sit down, right across from my aunt, and glare at her. My director looks between us before asking, the obvious, "What happened to your neck, Katrina."
My aunt tries to say something but I seal her lips. "My aunt. She tried to strangle me." I say, looking down, and unsealing my aunt's lips.
"SHE'S LYING!" My aunt cries hysterically. "IT WAS ALL THESE MONSTERS THAT SHE IS WITH RIGHT NOW! THEY CAPTURED HER! THIS ONE SITTING WITH US KNOCKED ME OUT BEFORE I COULD SAVE HER!"
I feel myself get angry. "The only monster here, in this house, is you aunt." I say, trying to keep my temper.
"SEE THEY'VE ALREADY BRAINWASHED HER INTO THINK I'M THE MONSTER FOR TRYING TO SA-" My aunt starts to say.
I start laughing, and look at Sans, looping my arm around the back of his chair. "Really? Brainwashing? That's a laugh." I turn my attention to my director. "If you're going to believe me, which I hope you will, my friend here," I pat Sans's shoulder, "saved me from dying as my aunt here was trying to kill me."
All Sans does is nod, probably not trusting his voice. However my director, whose name is John, looks at him. "Can you tell me what happened?"
Sans coughed and looked at me for a quick second and I gave him an encouraging smile. He looks back at John and says, "I was one of the four people that were going to see Katrina after the show. We talked for a little, and when we left, my brother realized he left his scarf there. I went back to retrieve it, but there were security and a 'Do not disturb' sign on the door. The security wouldn't let us, meaning Frisk and myself, in but we somehow managed to convince them. Once we got in the first thing Frisk and I saw was this woman here trying to strangle Katrina. So, I did the first thing that came to mind, and I got her off of Katrina. Then Katrina fainted and I brought her here because I was worried that her aunt would kill her if I brought her back to her house." Sans says, then falls silent.
John looks at me and I nod, then wince again because damn my neck hurt.
John then says, "Thank you. If you don't mind, can you keep Katrina here, and make sure she always has someone near her? I only ask you because all of our guards can be easily swayed by Diana (my aunt's name because I gave up with always calling her my aunt and shit.) and her charms."
I open my mouth to protest, but before I can Sans says, "I wouldn't mind. Let me go ask Tori."
He gets up and lumbers to the door which he pokes his head our of and asks Toriel. He comes back a minute later and says, "She said it's fine."
"Well, that's settles then!" John says and grabs Diana.
"W-Wait! I can't just impose on these nice people!" I stand. "I can just get a hotel room or something!"
John shakes his head. "No but's Katrina. You wouldn't make it to a hotel. This place is in the middle of nowhere, no offence Sans," Sans just shrugs, "so the nearest hotel is a good 30 minutes away from here. You're hurt, and if you get any more hurt, then I will never forgive myself. So be a good girl and stay here. For the sake of your own health. Please."
I sigh in defeat, and nod. John proceeds to drag Diana out of the house and into the car, and drives off.
I lean against the table, resting my hands against the top. I stand like that for a minute before someone tugs on my sweatshirt. I look down to see Frisk standing there, making grabby motions with her hands. I pick her up and she signs to me, 'Go out into the living room. We want to welcome our new houseguest"
I follow her instructions and go out into the living room where everyone is. I keep Frisk in my arms, seeing as she doesn't want to move and smile. "Hello. I don't know many of your guys names. Would you mind telling them to me?"
I soon learn that the fish-lady's name is Undyne, the lizard scientist lady is Alphyus, the older male goat creature is Asgore, and there was a younger male goat who's name is Asriel. (Yes I'm 100% aware that Asriel can only come about when Flowey has human souls and shit, but just role with it please.)
I greet them all before turning to Undyne, who's ironically standing next to Papyrus."I would like to say, nice to meet you Undyne, and also thank you both for lending your laps for me to rest my head on. I'm sorry that I did that, and sorry to impose on you like that. But thank you, really."
Papyrus's cheekbones turn orangish, and Undyne lets out a hearty chuckle. "It was nothing, punk." She says, slapping my shoulder.
I grin at her personality, already liking her.
I turn back to Toriel and ask, "So, sorry fro intruding and all that... Uh, you look like you have a lot of people here, and if I need to I can just sleep on the rug here." I touch the edge of the rug lightly with one toe.
"Nonsense." Toriel says. "We have plenty of rooms."
I look up at her. "O-Oh. Alright." I say, before I get dragged off by Toriel to what will be my room for the next few days.
"Sans's room is right across the hall, Papyrus's is on the right of his. Frisk has the room right next to yours and Asriel is next to Frisk." Toriel says.
I walk into my room, and almost die. It has a painting of a sunset encompassing an entire wall, and the rest of the walls are a red, orange, yellow, and blue color. I look around at the bed, which has a cream colored comforter and blue sheets. There is also a light blue micro-fleece blanket. I instantly want to jump on the bed, but I know my clothes are probably filthy
"Uh, where's the bathroom, and do you have any extra clothes I can borrow?" I ask, turning to Toriel.
"Yes. I'm sure Undyne has something that she can give you, seeing as you guys are around teh same height, and if you want a sweatshirt, Sans can probably lend you one." She says. "Also the bathroom is to the left of Sans's door. Or there is another bathroom at the other end of the hall, by Asriel's room."
I nod. "I need to take a shower, so, maybe where Frisk takes showers, so I can just borrow their shampoo, conditioner, and body wash?" I say, and ask at the same time.
"That would work, child." Toriel says before leading me to the bathroom by Asriel's room.
She pushes me in there and almost closes the door before saying. "I will have either myself, Undyne, or Frisk deliver the clothes up to you. Go ahead and take your shower."
I nod, and she closes the door. Once she does I start the water running and while it's getting hot I strip of my outer clothes, leaving my underwear, undershirt, and bra on. Once the water becomes hot I take off the rest of my clothes and jump in the shower.
I bend over to grab the shampoo before putting an ample amount in the palm of my hand. I whisk it through my hair, and then wash it off before going at my hair with conditioner. Right before I start to wash my body the door opens.
I immediately tense before I hear Undyne say, "Calm down, punk. It's just me."
I let out a sigh, and she leaves. I finish washing my body and rinse. After that I turn off the water and start to dry myself with a towel Undyne helpfully left me. She also left my bra and underwear, but took all my other clothes.
I sigh as I pull on the clothes, and brush through my hair. As I look at myself in the mirror, I see a broken mess. I shake my head once, then look at myself sternly.
I exit the bathroom, and almost slam my face into Papyrus's ribcage.
"HUMAN! Are you okay?" He asks.
"Fine. Fine."
"Oh good. I was coming up to see if you had gotten hurt. You were taking so long in the bathroom."
"It's all good, Pap." I say.
He smiles and goes back downstairs.
Okay. Okay. I'm done now. Sorry. It's long. And stupid. I'm done with the stupididty of this chapter. SOrry.
Love you all! ~Taba ^~^
