New Experiences

Frisk of course, would not fight. She told Toriel she would not fight her.

"That attitude will get you killed!" yelled Toriel. Angry tears almost seeming to form in her eyes. They were quickly pushed back by cold, hard rage.

Frisk's turn was over. From her few fights, she had noticed that it almost seemed like they took turns. One would go, and frisk would spare or talk for her turn, and the monster would attack. When the person was done, it was the other one's turn.

Toriel's attack started. Frisk thought that she might go easy on her, but she was very mistaken. Balls of flames came at her from all sides. One came close and burned the skin on one side of her face. Frisk screamed in agony. She had never felt pain like that before. She had gotten too distracted on the pain. She stumbled, right into another ball of fire, which hit her in the shoulder. It dug in deep, almost burrowing into her, before it burned out. Frisk almost blacked out. She told herself to stay determined though. The attack was over.

Flowey burst out of the backpack.

"Eat the pie! It will heal you!" he cried. This sounded rather strange to Frisk, but she obeyed. Anything she could do to try and stop the pain. She ate the pie. It was delicious. Her wounds felt better. She felt good again. Must be something weird with monster food, she thought.

At the sight of Flowey however, Toriel hissed.

"You! Whatever you are! I bet it was you who made the human do this! Made her want to leave! I blame you! You have been lurking around here for ages, you accompany every human that's fallen. You're the reason they're all dead! It's you're fault! You won't succeed this time, that I can promise."

Flowey looked taken aback.
"Are you serious!? They wanted to leave without me helping them. People don't like being locked up. I just helped them along. You don't know what you're talking about. Time has made you cruel and cold. Now just be quiet and let us beat you."

"No fighting," Frisk chided. "We will prove ourselves though. We will make it past and out of here, but you should know as well Toriel, I will NOT hurt a single living creature in this place."

"You are a foolish child," said Toriel, but said no more. Frisk spared, and then it was time to dodge again. Frisk didn't have any more food to heal herself, so she better be good about dodging. The fireballs seemed to rain from the ceiling. It made it hard to dodge, because Frisk would have to look up and dodge at the same time. She was doing better this time though. She hoped that didn't jinx anything. She got by with only a slight graze, the pain which she pushed through. She spared during her turn again, but Toriel just seemed to get more annoyed.

The next attack was hard. The first fireball hit her shoulder again, another hit her leg, causing her to fall. Once she was on the floor, she couldn't get up. The pain was too much and she was starting to black out. She was covered in the fire now. It was over.

"Frisk! No!" cried Flowey. He seemed almost to be on the verge of tears. That was strange, she didn't think the flower liked her that much. Things got fuzzy and muted, like she was lying under a huge fluffy blanket.

She heard Toriel whisper, "I'm sorry." before the world went black.

-------------------------------------------

Gasping, Frisk shot up in bed. What? How was she alive? She was dead. That couldn't have been a dream. But, there she was, lying in her bed at Toriel's house. Flowey was in his flower pot on her bedside table.

"F..Frisk?" Flowey asked. "What did you do? How did you go back like that?"

"So that wasn't a dream? asked Frisk, in a kind of dreamy tone. She could almost feel the fire burning her skin, feeling the world slip away. "What happened? I didn't do anything on purpose."

"I think I had that power that you have now once. I don't have it anymore. You can reset time. Whenever you die, you go back to your "save" point. The last time you saved must have been in the night, so you reset back to then. No one ever remembers the time jumps. I'm afraid you're going to have to go through all that again."

"How do you know that we went back in time?" asked Frisk. She kind of understood the whole concept, but it was still kind of hard to take in. I mean she had DIED. If she didn't have this power, she would have been gone for good. It was a kind of a scary thought.

Frisk tried to get more food or something. The pie was back in her backpack. They couldn't find anything else you use so they just went out to talk to Toriel again. It was hard to act just the same in front of her anymore. She knew what was coming, and it was hard to be friendly with someone who had watched as they killed you not too long before.

They went through the same stuff again, the fight, the talking. Flowey was right, Toriel didn't remember doing this before. It was pretty weird. Luckily the attacks were the same though too, so Frisk already was better about dodging. She made it a few more rounds before she was taken out again.

Frisk went up against Toriel many more times after that. She always spared, always did the same thing. It had seemed like months when Frisk dodged a final attack and Toriel stopped, gasping for breath. Killing Frisk must have been harder on her than she was letting on.

"You have proved that you are strong. You are foolish, but you may just yet survive. If you step out of this door however, I ask that you never return here. You are no longer welcome. Now, please just go and leave me in peace."

With that, Toriel turned and walked away, back down the corridor to the stairs leading back up to her house. She walked out of sight without looking back.
