When you both reached the top, the batteries were in a plastic bag. You already know which batteries you're looking for. You open the plastic bag and search in to look for the right batteries. You finally found the one you're looking for and put it in your bag. You also noticed there was a little tornado in the room. You kept wondering how on earth can a tornado can fit inside the skeleton's room. "Okay, Frisk. I think this is the right one. Let's get back home before the skeletons come back." You said as you climb down the dresser. When you reached to the ground, you noticed Frisk wasn't with you. They were still up top. "Frisk, what are you doing?"

"(Y/N), didn't we need another string since we lost the other one?"

"Oh yeah...Alright, but make sure the string is long enough." Just as Frisk was about to put the string in their bag, you heard the door open. Frisk hides behind one of the ketchup bottles that were on his dresser. You look around where to hide but this place was a mess. You run towards the mattress with some kind of bunched up sheets and hide behind it. The short skeleton came in with a tired look...Okay, let's admit it, he's always tired. The skeleton seems to be in deep thought and went to his desk...and fell asleep...Welp, that's that. But you couldn't be sure. You quickly tip-toe your steps very quietly so you won't wake the skeleton up. When you thought it was safe, you run towards the dresser to get Frisk, till you trip on his sock that was very close to the tornado. The tall skeleton was right, he should really pick up his socks. The tornado picks you up and started to spin you around with other objects heading your way. You screamed as you heard Frisk yelled out your name.

"Huh?! What was that?!" You heard the short skeleton said. This is not good! You manage to grab on to a crumpled piece of paper and crash down to the floor. Everything seems blurry a bit till you stare up at something. You realize what were you staring at. The short skeleton sees's you. You have been seen. You couldn't take it anymore. You quickly ran, hoping you wouldn't get caught. "Hey! Wait!" The skeleton called out and try to catch you. You duck down from his first catch and ran around different directions. "Come on, little small fry. I ain't that bad." You knew this was a trick, you can't trust them. You heard the skeleton groan behind you as he tries to catch you. You saw a crack in the wall that could maybe be an escape, you would even be able to get Frisk out of here while the skeleton is distracted till he gives up but before you go in, everything stops. You couldn't move, you couldn't run. What was going on?! "You made me do this, kid." Your whole body was blue. You try to at least move a bit, but it refuses. You turn around to see his right eye socket have a blue flaming eye. He was using magic. You felt your body floats up towards him, you try to get away but you couldn't. You see the ground higher than before till you're in front of the skeleton face. "Kiddo, don't you know to greet a new pal?" You felt tears coming into your eyes. You didn't want to die, you didn't want Frisk to be all alone.

"N-n-no. I-I d-don't know h-how to g-greet a n-new pal." You said, trying not to say anything else. One wrong word could get you killed.

"Really?" The skeleton said as he stares down in your terrified eyes. You nodded. "...Why are you so small? Did someone shrink ya for stealing a bone or something?" The skeleton asks as it raises its right bone brow. (IDK, do they even have eyebrows) You shook your head for no. "Then what are you?" You felt yourself pulling, even more, closer to the skeleton. 'Don't say it, (Y/N)! Don't say it!'

"...I-I'm a B-B-Borrower." Why did you say it!? You told him what you are!

"A Borrower?...Heh, and what exactly do you 'Borrow'?" he asks.

"Uh...W-I...I b-borrow s-stuff. L-Like f-food, s-strings, t-tissue, a-and other stuff. S-Something that y-you d-don't miss." You nearly said 'We' since you don't want the skeleton to know Frisk is also here as well.

"Does that includes the matches and the candlelight you were trying to steal." Oh no, he's angry, very angry! You didn't steal them. You were only borrowing!

"N-NO! I wasn't stealing them! I-I only need to so I could see the dark a-and have some heat! I-It's always cold in my home! I was borrowing them!"

"Small fry, last time I check, borrowing something means to ask permission and eventually return it. If you take something and don't give it back, then that's stealing." No, that can't be right. You would never steal. That's what Borrowers do, you just borrow! 'Think (Y/N)! Think! Say something that won't get you killed! Anything!'

"I'm sorry!! I-I didn't know that was stealing. I-I was just...just...I...JUST PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!" You screamed in fear, you just hope Frisk escapes.

"Eat you?" The skeleton looked confused a first before a smirk appears on his face. "Well, I am a little hungry."...Crap! "And I'm way too lazy to get a snack from the kitchen. I think you'll be a perfect snack." No. No. NONONONO! Your parents were right, monsters do eat Borrowers! And you're about to get eaten by one! He lifted you up high and opened his mouth as you let out a scream of terror. Flailing your limbs, depressed to try and pull away from him, but it's no use. You see his razor sharp teeth and his massive glowing blue tongue light up his mouth. You were pulling closer and closer towards his mouth.

"NO! W-Wait! Please don't eat me! Please don't eat me! PLEASE!" You both heard something knock over off his dresser and fell to the ground. You turn around to see it was one of his ketchup bottles.

"...So there's more of you?" You look back at him and shook your head.

"N-No! I'm the only Borrower here!" You try to cover but he didn't buy it. He went towards his desk and also pulled you along only to be dropped in something and hear a tight shut. You look around and realized you were in a jar.

"Not buying it, kiddo. So...stay put. Or else I'm gonna have to eat your ribs." He said and went towards his dresser to find another borrower. You just stand there in fear, why didn't Frisk leave when you were captured. Why did they stay? 'Frisk, please tell me your home. Please tell me that was just a mouse.' You thought as you watch the skeleton moved his stuff around. Suddenly, you heard a small tab behind you. You turn around to see Frisk! How did they? And who was-!? No. No time explaining. You both have to escape.

"Frisk, help me knock this jar down, that way maybe you can get the top off." You whisper to them. They nodded and put their hand on the jar while you push your whole body against the other side. You back up a bit and slammed your body aginst it and it fell down. You saw Frisk run up to the top and start to turn the top off. It pops out and you ran towards them and hug them. But you still have to get out of here. You pick them up and quickly climb down off the desk and see the crack hole isn't too far.

"Hey!" Crap! You cover Frisk with your body as you run faster than ever and made it in time and took a sharp turn right to see a small ladder you made. "Get back here! Look, I was only kidding about the eating part! I wasn't really trying to eat you, I was just scaring you! I-I didn't mean too!" He have to be lying, he has too. Once you and Frisk reached towards home, you put Frisk in the living room while you go to your room and sit on your bed to cry. Fear starts to rise in you. You have been seen. You have been seen! But at least Frisk wasn't seen. But the skeleton saw you. He's probably going to tell the tall skeleton when he gets home! They might set up more traps or worse, call an exterminator! This can't be happening!

"(Y/-Y/n)?" You turn your crying face to Frisk to see them standing beside your door. "...Y-You said if were ever seen...does...does that mean?..." Frisk says as tears were coming in their eyes too. You nodded your head as Frisk run towards you to give you a hug. You're both gonna have to move. If you've been seen, you have to move to another house.
