HP (Dust x Goddess Child Reader)

Waterfall

You'd bunked down in a place known as Librarby. You didn't know what a Librarby was, but it had lots of books. Your daddy had read you plenty of those. You used a tunnel system to avoid Grumpy and get food at a place called Shop. There was lots of Cinnabunnies there. They were yummy. As for Grumpy's gift. You were going to make him a new jacket! You'd had plenty of free time in the Void so you were a pro at sewing, knitting, and other such things. It was going to be blue with a red hood. The sleeves would fade to black. You hoped he would like it.

ΩΩΩ

You were working on the gift when Grumpy slammed in. "I found you!" He shot attacks at you. You dodged and your magic reacted once more, a barrier of smoke wrapping around you as ditched the place. You took the tunnels and hid in the Inn. "Well that was fun! It's like hide and seek but with training involved. You had no clue he was actually trying to murder you. "I wonder what happened to the others?" You asked out loud while you started on the gift again.

ΩΩΩ

You were taking a break, walking through the forests of Snowdin. Then something appeared in front of you. You screamed, startled. "Oh. You startled me.."
"𝙾𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛!" It was a floating skull with a red scarf. "Heya kid." You jumped just in time as Grumpyskele's knife came down. You giggled. This confused him. "Why are you laughing!?"
"Cause this is fun!" You scampered off. "Try and catch me!"
"𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚑𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚗?"
"I don't Fuckin know." He shook his head and gave chase. You ran through the entirety of Snowdin and into Waterfall. Let the game begin.

ΩΩΩ

You loved Waterfall. The ground glowed a pretty blue. The waters glowed even brighter. The ceiling reminded me of home, but with tiny jewels in it. You'd never seen anything like it. The best part was that the flowers spoke. So you ran around yelling at the flowers. "Here I am!"
ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕀 𝕒𝕞!
ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕀 𝕒𝕞!
ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕀 𝕒𝕞!
They all echoed. This would SOOOO throw Grumpy off. You weren't looking were you were going as you laughed and ran. You tripped. You fell. Straight into the fridged waters of the river. You've never been in a river before. You'd never swam before.

ΩΩΩ

ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕀 𝕒𝕞!
ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕀 𝕒𝕞!
ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕀 𝕒𝕞!
ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕀 𝕒𝕞!
ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕀 𝕒𝕞!
ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕀 𝕒𝕞!
The Echo flowers repeated over and over everywhere, making it impossible to find out where she actually was. "𝙷𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝚒𝚜 𝚌𝚛𝚊𝚏𝚝𝚢, 𝙸'𝚕𝚕 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝."
"I know." Where was the Damn thing?! He kept his eyes peeled. "Split up. We'll find her faster."
"𝙰𝚕𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛! 𝙲𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚖𝚎 𝚒𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚒𝚝!" Pap disappeared deeper into Waterfall. I sighed. "Why me.." Why did I get stuck with the brat. I was so going to murder it when I found it. Then we'll see how much she likes this 'game'.

ΩΩΩ

You sunk deeper into the waters. Your magic formed a barrier around you, once more. It would keep you from drowning for now, but your magic wouldn't hold out for long. You have maybe two hours, tops. You'd never been afraid before, but now you were terrified. You didn't wanna die. "DADDY! NIGHTMARE! GRUMPY! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" You screamed. But nobody came. You cried and cried hysterically for help, but nobody came. You were trapped down there until you died.

ΩΩΩ

I walked through the fields. This was nice. This was peaceful. Nothing compared to the guys at the mansion. It was complete chaos there. But here.. Just me, Pap, and that brat. "..." Why was I even Trying to find her anyway? She didn't matter. She was some big shots kid. He could always have more. I should just call Pap back and go home.. I sighed. "If I'm lucky the brat will have drowned.. I highly doubt that though. She's stubborn as FUCK." And that was kinda admirable in a stupid, humanish, sort of way. "Damn it Dust! Don't grow attached, don't grow attached."

ΩΩΩ

Scared. You were so scared. You were alone. So alone. You'd never been alone. Not truly. You'd always had daddy. Now you had no one. You'd never feared the dark, but now you didn't want to see it. You just wanted to be out of here. Or at least see the dim [M/C] glow of your magic. You wanted to run away from Dust, laughing, like earlier. You wanted to be startled by the ghost head. You wanted to watch tv with Killer and Eat Horror's yummy food. You wanted to be with your daddy and Uncle Light.

ΩΩΩ

Papyrus appeared in front of me. "Anything?"
"𝙽𝚘. 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝚠𝚎𝚒𝚛𝚍 𝚋𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚖𝚊𝚜𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑."
"Wait, what?"
"𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎'𝚜 𝚊 𝚠𝚎𝚒𝚛𝚍 𝚋𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚖𝚊𝚜𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚛."
"She's.. Drowning..?"
"𝙸.. 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚔𝚜! 𝙶𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚓𝚘𝚋, 𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛! 𝚆𝚎 𝚍𝚒𝚍 𝚒𝚝!"
"..." He started walking away. So that, dumb, determined, intelligent, gullible, stupidly likable brat was finally dying, huh? He stopped. "God Damn it."
"𝚂𝚊𝚗𝚜?"
"Where."
"𝙴𝚡𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚖𝚎?"
"Where's the Damn mass?" My eyelights flashed a warning. I wasn't messing around. "𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚊𝚢." I ran after Pap. That Damn kid. I told myself not to get attached! No.. This is for the boss. I'm NOT attached... I'm attached. Damn it. Just as I got to the edge a circular, blackness disappeared. 'The child is not yet strong or powerful enough to protect herself.' That's what nightmare had said. I kicked off my shoes and dived inside the depths. I could see her. Tired [E/C] eyes looking up at me with a mix of shock and relief. I grabbed her by her arms and made my way up until we finally broke the surface. "This is only because the boss wants, ya Damn brat." Just because I grew attached, didn't mean I was going to let her know that.
