It was silent.

Actually, it wasn't.

Papyrus was crying loudly. Screaming apologies and just panicking over the loss of your limbs.

Sans was blankly staring at your femur that is clenched in his phalanges. Bite marks and blood all over it.

Speaking of blood, it was literally everywhere. The brothers were a messy eater. You were pretty sure that it's because of the hunger.

The sight of both of them all bloody and hungrily eating your limbs made an image flash in your mind. You shook it off as usual, focusing on them.

You were just sitting there. Because that's all you can really do. You can't really run around and play in the snow with only an arm and a leg can't you? Because if you can.. that's what you're gonna do.

Papyrus was drowning himself with guilt and Sans was.. still staring at your femur, seemingly in disbelief and regret.

Papyrus was going on and on about how terrible he his for hurting his friend and was about to cut of his arm as an apology for you having to cut off yours. Sans didn't even seem to disapprove of this.

Having enough, you yelled angrily.

* Inhale* " AHH!!!"

The skeletons flinched, startled by your sudden loud outburst.

Papyrus and sans turn to you slowly.

...

You were huffing and grumbling. You were growling at them to assert your anger.

But all they really see are cute puppy-like growls. And a little pouting bunny.

You showed them your arm that is slowly regenerating-- forming new muscles and bones.

They both stare in shock, awe and maybe a little relief.

" A-ARE.. ARE YOU GOING TO BE OKAY?.." Papyrus said, sounding regretful.

You hummed patting his head with your still attached hand. Sans never took his eyes of your regenerating arm.. it trailed to your leg to see them regenerating too.

" We'll take you to our place."

" SANS..?"

" Come Papyrus, carry him. It's dangerous out here." Sans said as he wrapped your haori in a black cloth that he took... somewhere... To avoid staining it with blood.

" YES, BROTHER!" papyrus took you in his arms gently, afraid to hurt you more.

You yawned. Drowsiness taking over you.

Regenerating really takes a lot in you.

Stabs and bruises can heal without taking so much energy in you, but forming new parts of your body is very tiring but you can manage. Sleep is all you need.

You slowly closed your eyes, feeling the gentle rocking motions caused by Papyrus speed- walking. The lovely sounds of papyrus's boots crunching to the snow and the gentle howling of the wind lulled you to sleep.

____

You felt weight in both your back and your front. You opened your eyes.

You saw Sans in your arms, sleeping peacefully and papyrus behind you, his head resting on your shoulder. His calm breathing indicates that he's asleep.

The world around you felt different. The same difference. You're back.

You felt all your limbs intact. You felt no exhaustion, nor drowsiness. It's as if you woke up in a different timeline.
