Love Can Fly

Chapter 1

   I slowly opened my eyes after what seemed like forever. I blinked, a bright white light shining above me. Am I...dead...? I didn't feel dead. Then again, you probably don't feel anything when you're dead. I sat up. Apparently, I wasn't dead. What a shame. My hands brushed something gentle and I looked sharply to my hand. Things started to come into focus, and I realized I had landed on a soft bed of golden flowers. So that's how I'm still alive...Damn flowers... I closed my eyes and focused on finding any pain. There was no 'new' pain except for a sharp feeling in my left wing. I unfolded my wings and tried to stretch them, screaming in agony when my left wing made a snapping sound. Broken. I've had to deal with things like broken bones and scars before, but none were ever on my wing! I let out a shaky breath. I didn't cry, I don't cry, but I sure as hell felt like it. I stood up slowly, making sure my wing stays as still as possible. I quickly learned a trick to where my wing didn't hurt with every step I took. I walked all around, and there wasn't much to see. I walked into the next room, where I was greeted by another golden flower. This one had a cute smile upon its face, and it seemed to have tiny green wings attached to his stem. It spoke with friendly charm. "...Howdy! I'm Flowey, Flowey the Flower!"

"Hello!" I say happily, pretending like I hadn't tried to kill myself.

"You're new around here, ain'tcha?"

"ye-"

"Someone ought'ta teach you how things work around here! By the way, welcome to the underground!" This flower was so nice! A little to much for my liking, but you know that's the last thing I should be questioning. A golden heart-shaped object was suddenly pulled out of me, and I stared at it, shock coursing through me. "You see that? That's your SOUL, The very culmination of your being." Even Flowey was also surprised, but for a different reason. "Right now your SOUL is weak, but it can get stronger if you gain LV! What's LV stand for? Why, LOVE of course!" Okay, something was funny about this. "Down here, we share LOVE through little white...friendliness pellets." As he spoke shiny little white pellets surrounded him. "I can share a few of mine! Move around, get as many as you can!" I ignored my suspicion and did as told, when pain shot throughout all of my body. Floweys expression changed. It was no longer cute, but evil and menacing. "You FOOL. Down here, its kill or be killed. Now, D I E." I gave an awful shriek as more pellets surrounded me and my SOUL, trapping me. I couldn't fly out! The pellets moved closer and closer, and I was trembling with fear. This was not exactly how I wanted to die.

"God save me now!" I cried out, and suddenly a fireball came out of nowhere and knocked the flower out of the ground. "...God...?" I ask like an idiot. A pretty female figure stepped out of the shadows. She looked like the cross of a goat, human, and a bird. She had soft white fur and kind red eyes, which reminded me a tad bit of rabbit. She also had lovely white swan wings extending from her back, and she had a light purple dress with a strange symbol on it.

"What a terrible creature, terrorizing such an innocent youth..." She spoke gently. I backed away, in case this was another trick. "Oh! Do not worry my child, for I am Toriel, caretaker of the ruins. Come, let me guide you through the catacombs."
