Night Killer. Life is a slow race.

Part 10: Tricks are the treat

Killer threw the Librarian onto the kitchen floor; he had dragged him to Gerson's house so he could check his (Gerson's) library and take care of his new "pal." Letting the monster squirm away, Killer watches as the Librarian reaches up and pulls out his gag.

"W-why won't you just let me go?!" The monster bursts out, stray tears dripping down his cheeks. Killer just stares, Grinning manically as the monster burys his face in his arms, pulling his legs up to his chest.

"Oh Buddy! It's quite simple." Killer starts while walking towards the fridge, "Have you seen anyone else around?" Killer opens and looks through the fridge while he waits for an answer. 'Typical, just Apples.' He thinks before grabbing one and turning around. "No? Yeah, I haven't either-" Killer looks down, taking a bite of the apple, "Guess I'm just feeling a bit lonely, while looking for my friend."

Killer doesn't get anymore words out of the guy so he grabs a kitchen chair and takes it with him. When he gets out of the room, to make sure his prey doesn't escape, he closes the door and pushes the back of the chair up under the doorknob. With the monster effectively trapped, Killer quickly checks through every room, even the ones without any books. He sighs when he finds nobody yet again.

Making his way back to the kitchen, he pulls out his phone to check the time. 'Huh only been 4 hours?'
Killer just shrugs and puts the phone back into his pocket. Continuing to the kitchen, he reaches the door and moves the chair so he can walk in.

The monster hasn't moved from his spot on the floor, still sulking at the prospect of his demise. Killer walks up to him and neals down, "Alright buddy, your under my rule for a while. We're going to New home and you're going to take me to all the libraries you know of."

Killer waits for a reaction but the Librarian only curls into himself harder. Now starting to get tired physically, Killer let's a frown cross his face. Reaching behind his neck, Killer grabs the collar of his shirt and pulls him up.

Instinctively he grabs at his throat, but Killer doesn't let up as he gets closer to the monster's face. "Until I get bored of your sorry excuse of an existence, you're gonna do as I say. Capiche?" He says, as he tries to make his point known.

The Librarian nods fast and gasps for air once Killer let's go of his grip. Not wanting to risk the monster running away, he makes sure to move his hand, holding onto his shoulder firmly. "I'm done here, start walking." Killer orders, pushing against his prey's shoulder to get him to start moving, "We'll be taking a pit stop at the lab; you'll be so close to salvation, but you will never pass the threshold."

The two walk out of Gerson's house and start their way to Hotland. It's an almost silent walk as Killer keeps one hand on the monster and the other in his pocket; he makes sure he always has a grip on his knife incase the prisoner trys to run.

Soon the duo arrive at the lab. Killer knows that the alphys of this AU has most likely seen him on the cameras by now; he gets confirmation when he sees the door is locked. "Alright buddy," Killer starts, turning towards the Librarian, "You're going to get us in there."

The Librarian turns towards killer, his face says it all, "How do you expect me to get in there? The door won't open since your with me!"

Killer rolls his non-existing pupils, "You see that stone over there?" He whispers, pointing by the door, "Well I'm going to leave that direction, then hide behind it while her attention is on you."

"Won't she just see you?" The monster responds looking unimpressed.

Killer frowns, "There's a blind spot back there and her nerves are up." Killer pushes the Librarian towards the door. "Don't try to run buddy, I'm faster than you think" he whispers in his ear before hitting the buzzer. "Now, start pleading to be let in, make scene for me."

The librarian tenses as Killer gives one last squeeze to his shoulder before sliding away. Not wanting to find out what will happen if he fails, he starts talking. "Please Help Me! Anybody! First it was this human, now it's this skeleton. PLEASE I'VE WATCHED ALL MY FRIENDS DIE!" The monster does his best, letting the tears he's been fighting back make their appearance full force. He walks up and bangs on the door as he cries for help, soon he gets a response.

"I- is he gone?" A stuttery voice says from the buzzer speaker.

The Librarian hesitates a moment before answering, "Yes, but not for long, he is searching a house right now. Please let me in! I can't take this anymore!"

Killer watches them talk, 'Better than I thought he would be.' After a few moments the door opens; taking his shot, Killer jumps out and rushes the door as fast as he can. He makes sure to push the librarian in with him as he does.

"Good job, plan worked like a charm thanks to you!" Killer says cheerfully.

"Don't congratulate me, I've just doomed everyone in here." The Librarian snaps back while pushing himself off the ground, "Did you really have to push me like that?"

Killer turns around and laughs, "Not my fault you can't stay on your feet; I needed to get us both in here before she closed the door." He walks towards the monster and grabs the back of his shirt, pulling him up the rest of the way. "Now come on, I need to look through the info hall real quick, maybe me and you can have a little fun with the other monsters along the way.

-very sorry. I keep either being tired when I have time or my plans change at the last moment, I know this chapter is a bit boring and doesn't seem to fit with the last one but the next chapter will be following killer again to connect the dots. Thank you-
