Chapter 2

"P-Papyrus..?"

"WHAT IS IT? IT CAN WAIT! WE NEED TO GET RONNY TO TORIEL'S PLACE NOW!"

Sans shakes his head to clear his thoughts. Shake away the tears. Shake away the feeling of peculiarity in his bones. Instead, he adjusted the limp body of the once thought murderous child and straightens up.

Papyrus lands a hand on his shoulder to indicate that Sans is able to teleport. Sans takes the hint and teleports to what was a mystery to them all, what was behind those giant purple doors. Now they know.

"MS DREEMUR?! WE NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION NOW!!"

Sans tries to get rid of the feeling of uncertainty, he was pretty sure they were all...

Toriel approaches the brothers, medical kit in hand, not noticing the frame in one of the said brother's arms.

"What's wrong...?"

As she asked in a hurriedly and already worried tone, her eyes lay on the figure in Sans' hold. Her expression has gone from a normal worry to horrified. She reaches out and quickly starts healing her at the best she could. As soon as she ceased the profusely bleeding, Ronny was taken out of Sans' grip and laid down to finish the rest of the bandaging in the guest room.

"I thought you were all dead," Sans blurted out.

He hadn't really meant to say that aloud. Especially in front of them. Especially in a time of urgency. Right?

Papyrus looked his way in bewilderment. Confusion and concern written on his skull. However, something in Papyrus lit and he relaxed just a smidge.

"RONNY TOLD US TO HIDE SO SHE COULD SURPRISE YOU WITH SOMETHING SPECIAL. SHE NOTED THAT YOU SEEMED PRETTY DOWN IN THE DUMPS, SO SHE WANTED TO HOLD SOME KIND OF SURPRISE PARTY. SHE SAID TO POP OUT WHEN YOU CAME BACK WITH HER TO THE PLACE WHERE I FOUGHT HER."

Sans had felt as if he was just hit by a boulder. The realization smacked him like a rocket crashing back down to Earth. He understood what Ronny's intentions were, all this time. His white pinpricks broaden to the maximum limit and dashed his vision to where Toriel was bandaging her up. At this point, said goat was returning back outside the room.

"Alright, she'll be okay but she needs a lot of rest and healing on her own. Now tell me what exactly happened. How did she get this wound?"

What?

"She can't just be okay?! She just stabbed herself over and over and over again! It's impossible for anyone to live from that!!"

Both Papyrus and Toriel were in utter shock. No words came. Not even a breath. But then, Papyrus had the courage to speak up.

"W-What did you say she did, b-brot-ther..?"

Sans exhaled deeply, "She was planning to do this the entire time. At first I thought she killed all of you, but she made you guys hide for this entire plan. Then she broke down an-and cried and kept repeating "I give up" and she pulled her hair and it looked like she was trying to protect herself and said she gave up, what didn't I understand or-or I don't think she was even talking to me, I don't think she even heard me, she just kept saying that and after she stabbed herself repeatedly, I saw her smile! She was smiling while she was dying! She WANTED to die! Why would a kid want to die?! Just why!?"

Somehow, Papyrus was actually being calm. He wanted Ronny to be well, but he also wanted his brother to be okay too. It was time to take responsibility.

"Woah woah woah, Sans calm down. It's okay now. She's going to be okay. Sans if you're not feeling it now, we can talk about this later. Both Toriel and I still need to digest everything you said."

As the two brothers try to calm each other, one particular person stands in the corner, suddenly dazed. They stared straight at Ronny's still body, besides the movement of their breathing, tears spark at the bottom of their eyelids.

"Sh-she tri-tried ki-ki-ki-killing herself..?" She ended off brokenly. "She looked like such an innocent amazing child when I first saw her. Why would she- what happened to her that she wanted to-t-to d-di-di-die-e-e-?" She sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She was the adult, she needed to be calm in a situation like this. Right??

Sans fixated himself, he needed to try to stay calm for all of them. They needed him. Right???

"Tori I think you should go get some rest. I'll stay here with Ronny-"

But as soon as he started as soon as he got cut off by the unexpected Papyrus.

"No sans. I've got this. Both you and Ms Dreemur need to rest because both of you broke down and clearly been through a lot. Especially you Sans. Please Sans, I've got this."

He truly agreed to this. He was exhausted. He was, after all, fighting the kid, being through that mess, all of this, and now he just wanted to flop down onto a nice, comfy bed. Though, he was still getting the nagging feeling of something bad was going to happen.

"Alright, but after I rest up I'm going to watch her and you're going to rest. Also tell me immediately if anything happens."

Papyrus nods.

"Tell me as well and thank you Papyrus," Toriel stated.

He smiles this time and she returns it. Sans and Toriel retreat to their resting areas and Papyrus huffs as he sits there watching over Ronny. Papyrus thought this might be the right time.

Yes. Yes it is.
