Murderers lurk here

You shivered in your snow cave. Not wanting to wake up just yet, you kept your eyes shut. The snow you laid on had made your side go numb, and forearm slightly blue. You turned yourself to your other side, but in doing so, knocked some snow onto your shirt. "AH!" you quickly sat up in shock, which caused the ceiling to cave in on you.

Your head poked out of the hole. You guessed it was day time from the somewhat brightened underground. You crawled out of the pile of snow and shivered. You breathed on your hands in an effort to warm them. Your stomach growled. "God, I haven't eaten in awhile..." you muttered. The last time you had actually eaten was when you ate the rabbit pie, and even then that was minimal.

You scooped up some snow and put it in your mouth, letting it melt into water before you swallowed. "This'll have to do for now" You sighed.

Apparently it had snowed during the night time, which meant sans couldn't follow your old tracks. But now that meant you couldn't retrace your steps. You were completely lost. You turned at a familiar looking tree, and sank into the snow. It was 3 feet deep there for some reason. "I'm g-gonna get hy-hypothermia before I get-t out of these woods. " you shuddered and climbed out of the snow.

Sans woke up early that morning. He walked down the stairs and swung around the door into the kitchen. Papyrus stood at the stove "cooking" something. Though sans assumed it was just some old pine cones he had found outside. "GOOD MORNING BROTHER!" Papyrus gleamed down at him. "WHY ARE YOU UP SO EARLY?" Sans smiled at his brothers curiosity. "I'm gonna set up some traps in case a human comes along."

Papyrus' eyes lit up. 'CAN I COME ALONG?" he hopped from one foot to another. Sans cocked an eyebrow. "Don't you have to recalibrate your puzzles?" Papyrus' face fell. "YOUR RIGHT SANS... MAYBE LATER I'LL JOIN YOU!"

"Sounds good to me Pap's." Sans smiled lazily as he left the kitchen and went out to the shed to grab his stuff.

You eventually found yourself in the same clearing from the night before. A line of blood gave it away. You grimaced at the sight. The memory from last night was not a pleasant one.

You walked between two trees and continued on. Wind pushed violently through the trees. You ducked your head, fearing you might lose it in the wind. The branches above you smacked against each other, causing the entire forest to sound as though bones were clicking and creaking though.

No... don't think about that right now. You had to stay calm. If you panicked, you'd probably find yourself in a worse situation.

A loud snap sounded above you. You leaped out of the way just in time, as a branch crashed down to where you had stood. You stared silently. Your eyes grew hot, and soon tears began to rolls down your face. "SHIT, SHIT, SHIT! EVEN THE FUCKING FOREST IS TRYING TO KILL ME" You swung your arms in frustration and rubbed the tears from your eyes. "EUGHHHH!" You just had had enough. Your leg was lacerated, you were starving, you were tired, a psychopath was hunting you for dinner, and you had to go to the bathroom!

Ok... maybe that last one was fixable. But it still sucked.

You looked down at the branch. It didn't like it had just fallen randomly. The end was cut very cleanly, which could only mean one thing. You slowly looked up at the tree. Above you, a monster stared down at you hungrily.

"OH FUCK" you broke off a piece of the branch and began to sprint away from the monster. Seeing this, the monster leaped from branch to branch, and finally leaped to the ground and chased you on all fours. Your legs felt stiff and heavy. The only thing that kept you running was that adrenaline rush, buzzing in the back of your head.
