Your Pov:

You have been running for what seems like hours. Tears fill your eyes after the sight of your family's lifeless appearance.
'They're coming..'
You run up the mountain, desperately hoping to lose the monsters behind you.
You reach the top and find a cave, It's empty.
'It's empty?'
You continue walking 'till you see a dim light just below your gaze.
The tips of your toes slightly hang off.
Another step, you would be falling.

"Come on! We need to find them."

You jolt back at the sound of that voice.
That hideous voice.
You tremble. Frozen in place.
Suddenly hearing footsteps approach you.
Without hesitation.

You jump.

You've been falling for what seems like an eternity.
You close your eyes. Embracing for impact.

You slowly open your eyes.
"Agh..." You groan.

Confusion rushes through your head as you try to remember what happened.
You look up, seeing nothing but a hole in the sky.
You remember.

'How did I survive that fall?' You question yourself silently.
You stand up feeling a sudden sharp pain in your back. whincing at the surprise.
You brush off your slightly torn clothes as you gaze around the room.
There is nothing but a pathway and a bed of golden flowers beneath your feet, which you assume to be buttercups..
'Oh jeez...' You frown, feeling guilty of ruining a perfect bed of gold.
You shake your head and turn to the pathway.

You enter a room with another buttercup. But 'Wait- It has a face!?'
Your eyes widen at the flower, who just seems to be smiling.
"Howdy!"

'Oh my god, it speaks-'

"I'm Flowey! Flowey the flower!"
You put a weak smile on your face and wave at the flower, not wanting to be rude.

"I-I'm y/n!"
The flower stares at you, a wide grin across it's face.
"You're new to the underground, aren'tcha?"
You tilt your head.
'The underground..?'
"Golly! You must be so confused! Someone ought to reach you how things work around here." Flowey sighs, still wearing the uncomfortably large grin.
"I guess little ol' me would have to do. "

You suddenly feel sharp movement coming from your chest.
..!!..
You look up to see a (f/c) heart.
Your eyes widen at the sight.
"See that heart? That is your SOUL. The very culmination of your being!"
'My soul..?'
"Your soul starts off weak, but will grow stronger after gaining LV!"
Flowey pauses and turns his attention to you.
"Lv..? What is-"

You were interrupted. Hah.
"What is LV? You ask. Why, LOVE of course! You want some LOVE don't you?"

Flowey stares at you.
The way he emphasises on that word... You don't trust it...

"Here! Have some LOVE! Or as I like to call them; friendliness pellets."

What looks like little white bullets form in front of Flowey, slowly making. It's way towards you.

You dodge them.

The smile on Floweys' face weakens into a glare.
"Heh..."
A low, demonic chuckle arises from him.
You try to take a step back, only to be held in place buy thorn-covered vines.
"Agh!-"
You yelp as the thorns dig into your skin. Your eyes fog up with tears.
"YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, DON'T YOU? YOU JUST WANTED TO SEE ME SUFFER."
Flowey cackles.
The pellets form a circle around you, slowly closing in.
"DIE."
You shut your eyes.
All you hear is his demonic laughter echoing around you.

Until it stops.

'Am I dead..?'
You slowly open your eyes to see a green light surrounding you and-
'A goat..? And no Flowey.'
The goats eyes widen as they notice you.
"Oh, my child! Are you alright?"
Their voice is kind and soft, much like your mother's.
You give her a comforting smile.
"Y-yes, I'm fine thank you."
You struggled to sit up, but managed after a couple of tries.
"Oh my child please, you are wounded. Come with me and I shall heal you properly."

You hated to admit, but you couldn't continue at this rate.
You agreed to her offer.
Her smile is warm and comforting, unlike Flowey. You know you'll be safe with her.

"Thank you for your help, I'm y/n."
You smile as she holds your hand to assist you.
"What a beautiful name, my child. I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins."

"Nice to meet you Toriel."

She takes your hand and guides you through the Ruins.
There were many puzzels along the way, you're smiling with excitement. You loved doing puzzles and so far, these puzzels didn't seem to hard.

You frown after Toriel wouldn't let you do much, being injured.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We reached a small, brick purple house.
The inside feels warm and cozy, already making you feel drousy.

"Come my child."
Toriel takes your hand and leads you into a room.
"You can rest here while your wounds fully heal. I apologize my magic couldn't do much."
You frown at Toriels words.
"You did more than enough for me today, thank you."
Toriel smiles and closes the door.

You crawled into the bed.
'Holy- This bed is so soft'
And just like that.
You've fallen fast asleep.

You wake up in a cold sweat

You gasp, clutching onto your chest. Your short gasps of air soon turn into calm breaths.
You jump out of bed, silently whincing at your forgotten pain and left the room.

'No sign of Toriel..?'
You looked at her empty room and chair.
You were hoping to get some comfort.
You disappointingly walk back to you room.
Until you hear a familiar sound of laughter coming from down stairs.

You quickly, but silently make your way down to the basement, to see Toriel leaning against a large purple door.

You freeze and hide behind a wall.
You hadn't noticed, but you began to ears drop on the conversation Toriel was having, you noticed another voice.

"Then I told him, I had a skele-ton of bad jokes, heh."

You hold the urge to burst out laughing.

You notice Toriel seems upset. You think the voice did too.

"hey lady, you alright? did something ruin your mood?"

'Oh my god, that was horrible.'
You cringed at the joke.
Then looked up instantly and Toriel began to speak.

"A human fell down today."
You could sense hints of fear in her voice, making you feel uneasy.
"oh?"
"They were terribly injured. If I didn't get there in time, they would've-"
You wanted to run and hug the motherly goat.
But decided to stay quiet and listen.
"but you did get there, don't beat yourself up over something you didn't do."
.
"Can you do me a favour..? A promise perhaps..."

"oh i don't know, i don't really like making promises..."

"Please."

It was silent for a good minute. The only sound to be heard were the breaths you took.

"alright. what can i help you with?"
The voice replies leaving Toriels eyes wide.
She normalises them and smiles.
"Will you protect them... The human.."

Another long silence fills the room. Sending a small uncomfortable shiver down your spine.

"alright, i promise."

Toriel stands up and leaves with a small, quiet chuckle
"I snow I can trust you."

You silently run back upstairs and into the bed, falling asleep without notice.
