  ~♥You Petal Prick♥~

~~

  I walked through the entryway at the end of the branching hallway where I made my groundbreaking entrance, and came across yet another yellow flower. This time it had a face. A smiling, friendly yet creepy face. A cold chill runs up my spine. Literally. At least my face was hidden by my hood and any showing bones were covered up by other articles of clothing. Then it spoke. As if it wasn't creepy enough.

Flowey: "Hi. I'm FLOWEY. FLOWEY the FLOWER.You're new to the UNDERGROUND, aren't cha?You must be so confu-"Me: "So you gonna keep talking or is there a point to this little spiel?"Flowey: "I uh....right. Well let's just get right to it, I guess."


All of a sudden, a little red glowing heart [♥] floated from somewhere beneath my rib cage and was now hovering in front of me.


Flowey: "See that? That is your SOUL. The very culmination of your being.You need to make your SOUL stronger by obtaining LV.What's LV? Why, LOVE, of course.You want some LOVE, don't cha? Don't worry. I'll share some with you."
Then it winks at me. Ew! We just met, flower. Don't be winking at me all creepy and shit. I'm bored with this if you couldn't tell. But then he continues....unfortunately.
Flowey: "LOVE is shared through....little white....'friendliness pellets'"
Out of nowhere, these little white, seed-like pellets appear. I shouldn't be shocked because I use all types of magic. But he's a fucking flower! He's literally got leaves for hands! How is he using magic, with his face?!
While I'm distracted with my thoughts, he thrusts the pellets towards the heart....and they bounce off it, the heart unscathed. I can see his face is utterly confused.
Flowey: "W-wha...h-how did you....why didn't.....what?"Me: "Thought I wasn't paying attention, weren't cha?"


I mock his way of speaking and smile rather evilly. The heart floats back inside my rib cage and I step forward, kneeling down to him.
Me: "'Friendliness pellets'? You think I'm some sort of moron? I know when my life is being threatened. Could say I'm an expert in that field."
I then grab him by the stem with a firm grip, a choking sound emitting from him and pleas for me to let go.
Me: "Listen here, you little shit, and you listen good. You do not want to mess with someone like me. I can make your worst nightmares and fears become a reality. Don't test me, plant."
I let go and walk past him, leaving him in a coughing fit. I walk a little further and hear a woman's voice humming. I peek around the corner and find a goat woman in a purple, long sleeve dress, heading in this direction. She turns the corner and is startled by my presence.
???: "Oh, my child. You scared me."Me: "Sorry?"???: "It is quite alright. Did you just arrive here?"Me: "You could say that."???: "I hope you did not hurt yourself."Me: "Nah. I'm fine. I am Arissa. Pleasure."Toriel: "I am Toriel. It is very nice to meet you."
I held out my bony hand for her to shake. She seemed surprised. I mean I would be too if someone stuck out a bony hand to me. She looks at me with wide but curious eyes.
Toriel: "My child, Would you please remove your hood?"
I knew this was coming. No hiding it now. I pull back the hood to reveal the white canvas that is my skull. She gasps.Well what was she expecting? She already saw my hand. What else did she think the rest of me looked like?
Toriel: "My child....You are not human?"Me: "Not entirely, no."Toriel: "Are you a monster, child?"Me: "Well that's kind of rude."Toriel: "I did not mean it to be rude, child. The only ones that normally fall down here are human.But you do not appear to be human. And the only other species down here are monsters so that is why I ask."


I sigh. Well, she seems nice. So I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell her my true nature.
"My name is Arissa Verdana and I am a witch."
