Child of my Killer

Bitter, Son of Horror

As the soul of Blueberry was about to break, time stopped. A woman stepped into the world, sporting buzzed dirty blond hair, blue/grey eyes, a Gaster and Sans T-shirt, A Red and Classic sweatshirt, and Cheshire cat leggings. "Your probably wondering why I killed off Blueberry? So many stories of him being friends or mates with the bad guys, but I know of none where he's actually lived their life. What better way then to reincarnate him as someone's son?" She took out a pen and wrote a name. That name opened up into a window and she pushed Blueberry's soul through. "I won't take up any of your time, reader. Enjoy." Kyran winked and gave a two finger salute, disappearing as time started again.

Horror POV

Blueberry's words still rang in my head as I stepped through the portal to home. I'd wanted to stop, but if I had, it would have been me not going home to my brother, not him. My bro needed me. I was the one keeping them fed. My work with Nightmare kept food on their plates, whether it was human or not. I shuttered. I'll hunt humans, sure, but eating them is a whole other story. I know that I shouldn't be picky, but I'd rather Papyrus be fed than myself. So I ate at the mansion, whenever we were off duty. My fingers thrumbed against the coffee table. What was taking Papyrus so long anyway? If it was that bitch queen Undyne again, I swear I'm gonna- "BROTHER! I HAVE RETURNED BEARING A SHOCKING GIFT!"

I paused and looked to Papyrus. "a gift..?" Papyrus never has 'gifts' anymore. Unless it was a corpse I had to deal with or his 'spaghetti'. This 'gift' took the shape of a small basket though. "papyrus.. were you experimenting with other foods?"
"NO! EVEN BETTER! I FOUND IT AT YOUR STATION, ADDRESSED TO SOMEONE NAMED HORROR! I COULDN'T LEAVE IT TO FREEZE, SO I TOOK IT IN HOPES THAT... maybe we could take care of it..?" Horror? It was addressed to me? I approached the basket, sniffing. I smelled.. Lust's scent, fresh magic, fleece, paper, and ink. I peeked inside my soul dropping. A baby.. of all aus, he had to drop it off here?! Lust and I have been a thing on and off for awhile, but this.. this was something completely new. I picked the card up and paced while reading it. All it really said was that the kid was mine, and he didn't wanna see me anymore if I wasn't going to stay with him. I was only good with one commitment. That was my bro. I tugged at my skull, thinking. The kid was mine, it was mine and I could barely feed Papyrus. How was I supposed to take care of a kid? How could I commit to that?!

I looked at Papyrus. "you know we can't. we don't have the resources." Papyrus whined. "I'LL WORK EXTRA HARD! I'LL CUT DOWN ON MY PORTIONS! PLEASE SANS!" Oh stars he was begging. "i'll.. see what i can do. no garentees though!" I went to my room and called Nightmare. "what."
"lust ditched me with a kid. says it's mine."
"and?"
"i- i need more food.."
"what can it offer?" Of course. "it's my kid. i will train it. it can hunt with us. it could be even stronger, in it's youth. with the right training, it will serve you as i do."
"mm. very well. i will grant your request, but i want to see it. see if it's really worth it.." I grimced. "yes boss." Was that a smart idea? Probably not. But at least it would survive for the time being.

I went back down to Pap. "here's the deal. we'll keep it for now. it's going to start working and hunting with me when it's old enough. i want it to get used to my hunting buddies asap, so i'm taking it over later. capiche?"
"HE."
"what?"
"'IT' IS A HE. HE SHOULD HAVE A NAME. HE LOOKS LIKE A BERRY.." Now that I was looking at him closely, he did look like.. I nearly laughed. What a cruel joke. The child looked like Blueberry. Except for the large red eyes, he looked like Blueberry. So why not give him a name like that of the Sans? I thought of all the berries that I knew of. Huckleberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, Strawberry.. some of those, if not all, were already nicknames of some of the Swap aus. I sighed. This whole ordeal left a bitter taste in my mouth. My sockets widened. "bitterberry.."
"B-BITTERBERRY?"
"that'll be his name. call him bitter for short."
"IT'S KINDA STRANGE... OK! WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY, BITTERBERRY!" The child laughed. I sighed again. At least Papyrus was happy. How long could I make this last?
