The Hell He Created (SansXReader)

Chapter 16 - ♪♣♪☼↕○♣‼

*You're tired, but you open your eyes, anyway. 

Something about where you are is... Changed. 

Everything is dark and it feels strangely warm despite the absence of light. The floors are hard and feel as though they are made of metal. The sound of your foot hitting the tiles echoes down what sounds like wide corridors both in front and behind where you stand. It's an eery sound, yet familiar. 

*You call for someone- anyone- and a voice relieves you.

*"hey." 

It's Sans, and he gently takes your hand to close the distance between the two of you. 

*"heh. uh, sorry. i think i brought us here by mistake. old habits, right?"

You feel much safer with him beside you, yet there's a feeling that you can't shake. A feeling of being watched. You ask him where you are.

*"we're underground. in the lab, i think. the warmth in the air is probably from LAVALAND, since that's where it is."

*"doesn't matter. we should get out of here. fast."

Sans illuminates the large hallway with his magic and leads you through the darkness by your hand, treading carefully along the loud aluminum tiles. There is little noise, save you and your partner's footsteps. 

You hear something rumble and stop to determine its direction. You ask Sans for his input.

*"likely the CORE. if we follow it, we'll find some source of light, at least."

*You remember that you both can teleport, and remind Sans, but he shakes his head.

*"the barrier was destroyed, physically, but the magical energy used to create it hasn't worn off yet. it could take decades for it to finally dissipate completely."

*You nod and continue onward, and your eyes begin to adjust to an approaching light.

The air starts to grow warmer and warmer with each step. Finally, you reach a door with windows revealing the source of light.

You see something in the center of a large room, glowing and emmitting a heat that is almost hard to bear. Something about it draws you closer to it until Sans gently pulls you back.

*"hey, uh. be careful. this place isn't safe."

You look over the ledge of the bridge leading to the center of the room, and see a series of bright colors whose force and heat cause minute vibrations against the metal floor. You know if you lean any further, you would fall right in.

You would fall in just like he did.

*"did you hear something?" sans asks, and you both glance around the room to see nothing. however, you begin to hear it, too.

The sound of a child's laughter, coming from the CORE in the center. You squint to see a small shadow slowly emerging from the bright machine. As soon as you can make it out, you call out to him.

*"do you know who that is?" Sans asks, and you reply with a name that seems to surprise him.

The boy looks at you with a smile and waves. 

*"Hey, sis. I missed you."

*You call his name again, and tears begin to well up in your eyes. 

He smiles and beckons you closer. 

*"I've waited for you, sis. I've waited so long to see you again."

The figure in front of you seems genuinely happy, and you share almost as wide as smile as him.
