16 - In My Way

Illys' POV :

She stood at the end of the hall.

Carefully watching my every move as Sans starts to dust away.

The 'sun' shining through the window, the flowers were blooming, the birds were singing, dust scattered in the hallway, the hints of the battle before still present.

So peaceful yet eerie.

Her expression darkened when she saw me,

My clothes were covered in dust and blood..

And I myself was covered in bruises and cuts from the recently won battle.

In my way...

I maniacally smiled at her. I pointed my knife at her, readying myself for another battle.

First time I've ever had a proper battle with her. Usually I would strike her down without a fight, but this was different.

Our first battle..

But before I could move forward my vision starts to blur and everything went black.

...

I woke up in a pitch black void, similar to the 'save screen'

"Greetings, partner." I heard a familiar voice say, I reached for my knife and threateningly swinging it in front of me.

Looking around to try to find my opponent.

There was nobody there, just voices.

All I remember was...

Oh, I passed out.. this must be a dream right? All I need to do is wake up.

"I see you're already getting bored of this world." The familiar voice commented.

"What does that even mean..?" I questioned myself, still cautiously glancing around to find the source of that voice.

"Why would you sell your soul in exchange of a world you'll destroy anyways?" They asked monotonously.

"What do you..-"

Just then I realized that unknown familiar voice was the thing from.. my last genocide..

They emerged from the darkness, it was the child-demon-thing that erased the last world.. the thing that literally exchanged my soul for the creation of another world.

I stepped back, "Surprised to see me again?" They smiled creepily. Holding my knife in front of me defensively I frowned at them, "What do you want?"

They ignored my question and asked something in turn, "What do you gain from doing.. this?" I tried to attack them, but they dodged right in time. They took out their own knife, noticing the incoming attack and I jumped out of the way.

"Answer the question." Dodging every attack I threw at them, they still held that same eerie smile..

"I -I don't know? I just.. want to get out, and I've tried everything!" I replied, frustratedly still trying to hit them.

"Will you please stop?" Their smile faltered, I kept on trying to land a blow on them. They swung their knife while I wasn't paying attention and nearly tore my right arm off.

Shit... Why'd that hurt..? This is a dream, right?

I kept a fair distance from them, not wanting to get injured even more. I guess I can't use my knife either since my arm is basically sliced open.

"Everything?" They turned away from me, "Y..yes.. that's why I'm doing this.." I replied, still wincing in pain. I clutched my right arm as my knife dropped to the ground with a clang.
