I struggled to help sans but stopped when I heard Chara laugh, both me and sans looked in its direction. I glared the best I could with tears going down my face, I was scared. I wanted to keep sans safe. He makes me feel like I belong that not even my parents could give. We had a connection that others don't have. We have something more than just love; it is like our very souls are connected.

Then the demons' voice rang, "well, well, well. Here you are sans. It has been fun playing with you. What, don't you recognize me? It's me, Chara. I have had much fun messing with you and your loved ones but now it is time to get down to business. I want yours souls soon so I can continue with my plan. I think it is time to get in a more comfortable skin, this one has finished with its usefulness." And with the last word I saw in horror as she 'got in a more comfortable skin'. I felt like puking. The only way I could describe without causing anyone else to puke is the large males' body just peeling like a banana, into a small child that looked like a slightly younger Frisk. But way more creepy with the red eyes and the pale skin and the way 'too rosy for that skin' cheeks. a green sweater with a single yellow stripe visible.

It looked basically like the one in my dreams but older

It looked basically like the one in my dreams but older. I shifted my gaze to sans to see his face looked murderous. It started to carefully and slowly step towards sans like it was a predator and sans was the prey. It smiled widely. If I wasn't feeling soo scared I would have been furious that it even thought that sans was weak. I started to struggle in hopes that my monster strength might break the chains but all it does is rub my wrist raw, the sudden pain leaves me breathless and the gag prevents any air coming through my mouth so I have to breath heavily through my nose which I feel there isn't enough air going in. tears started to pool around my eyes and slide down my face. My wrist slowly ebbs with pain less and less. My tears start to block up my nose which makes it harder to breathe so I try to clammy tears to allow my nose to still take in air.

I look at Chara as she slowly stalks closer to sans, I switch to sans and see him tense, don't ask how cause I don't know unless you see it yourself, and he seemed to get stiff as it approaches him. The lightning within sans skull seems to quicken with its shooting in sans skull with what I can see through his eye sockets. the glow is also brightens as Chara starts circling sans in a very wide circle around him and his skull starts to turn, soo I can't see his eye sockets as he is turned the other way.

My soul suddenly feels weighed down like last night (if it was last night and I was only out for only a lot of hours after I fell asleep). I have to wonder if sans lightning in his skull has to do with this feeling. And if it is, what happened last night for him to feel it before it disappeared. Then my thoughts get lost as I hear Chara laugh again, "Oh sans, your little girl seems confused. Haven't you told her? Well I think now is a really good time. Or do you want me too? I would love to tell her your little dirty secret." I want to say that he didn't have to; that I accept him as he is but the gag kind of stopped that so all I got out was muffled screaming. I then decided to try to remove it.

Sans stopped following Chara for enough time to flip his hood over his skull before retuning to follow Chara. I was expecting sans to stay quite but his voice rough filled the area, "Papyrus isn't my actual brother. Him and a kind scientist named Gaster took me in. you see, I had parents who wanted to break the barrier but their ideas were not viewed in a good light. Soo they decided to hide away is a little place hidden in the ruins; this was before Toriel left to live there so the only one who knew about my parents were the monsters that lived there. Their experiments were to change monsters in hopes of them passing the barrier without problems but any monster they tested on turned to dust only a few seconds after the experiment began and they never go any results from them. After awhile they stopped taking those monsters and tried to think of a new plan. Then they thought about making a monster that was strong and could survive. So they took little marrow extractions from both of them and created me.

I was new; they allowed me my childhood for a whole year before the experiments happened. You see, monsters remember all their memories from their first day and I had never expected that year what they had planed for me. First it was small things like strengthen both my soul and my body. Then they started to hit the big things when I turned four. They started to expand my abilities, more powers than monsters are meant to be able to. They had taken my body apart molecule by molecule then rejoined them after they added things to my very structure. At time I believed I might have turned to dust but surprisingly I had stayed together. I remember every injection, how it burned in my bones. The machines that zapped right into my soul, the pain.

Then when I had hit five they decided to introduce a new serum to me. At first it didn't seem like it did much as there wasn't anything happening, boy was I wrong. Then the pain hit, like my very bones burning. Like my body was falling apart then rejoining. When I felt relief of the pain subsiding I realized that I wasn't how I was meant to be. I was much larger than I was originally then there was my form, I was on four legs and had many extensions, including a snout like skull. Then rage overpowered my mind. I couldn't help but feel as I turned and erased my parents as if they were never there in a single blast. No dust or anything."

I saw sans was getting this off his chest, I had been working on my gag and it had finally fallen away but I wasn't gain to try my wrist just yet. I knew sans wanted to tell me the truth and let his past out. Chara was smiling like a crazy person and still circling sans. Sans took a deep breath before continuing, "Whatever they injected into had started to warn off, though it was still very much woven into my entire existence now it had allow me to regain most of my usual form and size. Though I was slightly taller and still had the odd skull it was a two legged me. I ran from the only place I knew. I ran until I had reached a place just covered in snow. I raced into the woods in hopes of never being found.

Eventually I collapsed near a tree exhausted and tired. I started to cry as I knew I had no where to go. Before long I heard the crunching of feet. I bolted up in alarm to see a very tall skeleton holding a bundle. I shook with fear at this new figure. I tried to rattle my bones in hopes of scaring him off but instead he comes closer and kneels in front of me. I looked into his eye sockets expecting hatred or disgust but instead I saw sadness and kindness. It was then that I knew this man didn't see some experiment or an object but a child who was lost and cold.

He reached out with a spare hand to help me but my fear had kicked in and I had scrambled back. The man had paused then thought. Soon he smiled then moved forward again to be directly in front of me and placed the bundle right into my hands. I was confused and opened the top of the bundle to see a tiny month old baby skeleton. It had opened their eyes and looked at me. I had expected fear to see a beast with a bone snout but instead the little skeleton put both its little hands on my snout and giggled. That had made me smile and my body completely returned to normal. Then I had learned that the man was Gaster as he took me in as acted as a father to me. The little baby skeleton was Papyrus and I loved him like a brother. I never saw anything different than my little brother. I had found that the experiments my original parents did didn't allow my body to grow like they should soo I stayed as a small skeleton compared to papyrus.

When I get overwhelmed or filled with rage another part of me which I call a primal side emerges and makes sure to tell others of its presence but making your soul heavy. Papyrus remembers that day and knows of this side, he has even tuned himself to be able to sense when it surfaces and calms me down. Then years later after Gaster had found me he suddenly disappeared and no one but me and Papyrus remembers him. I miss him just as Papyrus does, we started to look out for each other. Many things have happened since that day Gaster found me but I never forgot that day. I... I understand if you see nothing but a beast." It broke my heart to hear his sad voice say that.

I smiled sadly and with the truth ringing in the very words I replied, "I love you no matter what. Skeleton or beast. We are together and nothing with change that." Sans head snapped to me as I smiled at him. His widens and the white pupils he usually had shows at the front of the lightning storm still brewing in his head. We understood each other, and we accepted each other, flaws and strangeness and all.
