My Anomaly (An Error Sans X Reader)

Chapter 20 Alone in The Void

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

The rhythmic water droplets felt comforting in the endless silence. Though it too, after a while, became unbearable. Your eyes were tightly shut. Unable to open no matter how hard you tried to pry them open and reveal the light that pestered you.

You felt as if you were floating in water. You could feel a weightlessness in your body. One you were used to. The sensation of your soul being torn from your body was a new feeling, but familiar thanks to error. Is that was was happening right now? Was your soul out from your body? Somehow that didn't feel like the right answer.

How long have you been laying here? Drifting aimlessly in an empty sea in which you couldn't see with your own eyes. It felt like only a few seconds. How did you get here to begin with?

(Y/N).

You could hear someone calling your name.

(Y/N).

It sounded familiar. But no matter how close it sounded, or how much you wanted to touch it, it felt out of reach. Like a dream you feel lingering in your mind, but when you go to recall it the memories slip out from beneath your finger tips.

"Open your eyes child." This voice had clarity. Authority. Like a father demanding their child to wake up. You opened your eyes in an instant, gasping as if a heavy pressure was against your chest.

You sat up quickly, holding your chest as you did so, struggling to catch your breath. Where are you? You looked around frantically now coming to your senses. It was dark. The world around you was shrouded in darkness, aside from a very dim light source that only rippled across occasionally.

The world was gloomy, like a dark inky sea that was only 2 inches deep. At least, it looked like water. But when you inspected your clothes, your hair, they were completely dry. You hastily stood up looking around. Where are you. In your nightmares? The nightmare you'd get sometime surfaced in your mind. The dark sea. The blue strings only dragging you further into it.

"You're inside my mind." You jolted at the voice, turning around to try and see where it had come from. But it felt as thought it came from everywhere.
"And I'm inside yours. It's a terribly hard thing to properly explain with out any knowledge on how this works to begin with."

You looked up towards what you assumed was the sky. Inside someone's mind. And someone was inside of yours? But how?

"Who are you!" You felt brave. You felt...angry. Frustrated. Upset. You just got home. Reunited with your family and now something else comes to take you away.

"I suppose a proper introduction is in order, seeing as we are in one another's minds now." The voice seemed to garble at the end. As if who ever was talking was struggling to maintain speaking to you in a way you'd understand.

Suddenly the water moved, and created a shape. You jerked back breathing heavily. Maybe it was a mistake to be brave. The liquid took a moment to properly display the proper shape until it created a tall monster. He looked like sans and papyrus, in the way that he was a skeleton and unique like they were. He pulled at his lab coat, trying to obscure his cracked and holed hands.

Purple irises stared down at you from behind glasses, his skull was as cracked as his hands. Patches of the black liquid stuck to him in places, but aside from that he appeared normal enough.

"My name," he fiddled with his glasses, "is Doctor Gaster. WD Gaster precisely."

WD?
