Burning in Hell

Chapter 1 | Hell is Where the Heart Is.

[ The video above is one of my favourite Undertale lyric comics. All credit for the video goes to its creator, Lucynthia Ritonia. I believe you will find it to fit nicely with the story, carry on. ]

"On days like these. Kids like you. Should be burning in hell."

I can't count how many times I've done this, but at least they are always predictable in this fight.

I dodge the first knife slash.

"What? You think I'm just gonna stand there and take it?"

I dodge again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

"Look. I gave up trying a lo-"

They hit me, a giant slash of the knife, right down the middle of me...

"Wha- what, no. No. NO. That's not how this is suppose to happen."

They stand over me, blood stained knife in hand, with an unforgiving yet expressionless look.

"That's not how this works... You. You don't get... You don't get to kill me... Not... Not now..."

I begin to cry out, "No. No no. No. NO! What have you done! NO!"

I'm hyperventilating, I can barely catch my breath. Little black dots appear in my vision and then everything goes dark.

But I'm still crying, crying to the darkness around me. Screaming. My eyes feel on fire, but the rest of me feels cold.

Far off in the distant darkness I hear a voice, "Sans..."

I'm crying too much to respond.

The voice seems to come closer.

"Sans... Sans... SANS"

I cry even harder because now I can place the voice.

I can't breathe, I'm choking on my tears.

Next thing I know, I feel two arms reach around me, I flinch away from the sudden touch.

"Sans... Sans, it's... it's okay, I'm right here."

I open my eyes, everything appears blurry at first from all the tears, but in the darkness I can see I'm back in my room, in my bed, with Papyrus sitting next to me.

"Are you okay Sans?" Pap asks me.

I rub the tears from my eyes and try to slow my breathing, though I'm still breathing heavily. I feel down the front of my body to find no knife slash, and I look back up at my brother.

"It... It was just another nightmare." I finally stutter out.

"Another one?" Pap says, with a tone of extreme concern, "That's the third one this week, Sans, are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah... I think." I silently breathe out.

"Do you want to tell me what happens in them? It might help... You know... If someone else understood"

I shake my head in refusal as more tears well up in my eyes.

I can't possibly tell Pap what happens in my nightmares... He wouldn't understand... He doesn't know I fight for him every time he dies, he doesn't remember what the surface looks like, he doesn't understand the resets... He can't know... I can't burden him like that...

The tears that have welled up in my eyes begin to stream down my face again, so I shove my face into my blanket to try and make it stop. But all does is bring back the shaking and the hard to breathe feeling.

"Hey... Hey... I didn't mean to upset you Sans, It's okay... I'm right here."

I hug Papyrus tightly and sob into his shirt, as I do I feel his arms come around me.

"Shhhh..." he says quietly, "I'm right here and I'm not leaving you."

Oh, how I wish he could understand he will...

[Hey Everyone! I hope you liked the first chapter of "Burning In Hell". This is my first attempt at writing an Undertale fanfic, so I'm still trying to work out how I want to write Sans and Papyrus, so there may or may not be shifts in their character during this, I'm not sure. This was inspired by a post I made on my tumblr page (dragons-armors) and the addition made to the post by the-boy-whocriedwolf. I don't know how long this story will be yet, but I'll try to have it finished before I go to college just so there won't be any huge gap in the update times. Love y'all. <3]
