Further Into The Distance - Fallacy x Encre (Book Two)

Chapter 14 - Treatment

I have been going to treatment with Sans now for multiple months now.  Sans brings me to different AUs all the time.  A bunch of them knew me already and I now know them.  Right now Underfell Papyrus is teaching me to fight and control my magic for battles.  I kick his butt hard and I giggle clapping.  "Me win!"  I shout.  Sans comes over to me, and says "The proper way to say it is 'I win.'  No worries you'll get it eventually."  He says.  "I... I... I, not me... I."  I mutter thinking hard.  Suddenly a portal opens and Underfell Papyrus looks worried.  I start to cough hard feeling a pain in my chest.  Sans places a cloth over my mouth.   He is rubbing my back as well.   I stop coughing.  "You alright kid?"  Sans asks me.  I nod slowly.  He wipes away spit from my mouth.  He looks the cloth and his eyes widen.  "What?"  I ask worry filling me.  He then shows me the cloth.  There is only a small amount of blood on it.  I then feel extremely proud of myself.  "It is working!"  I say excitedly.  I then cough sweat dropping.  "You still aren't a 100% kid..."  he says picking me up.  I hold onto him.  "Who is that?"  I hear.  The voice doesn't sound too happy.  I go to look but Sans keeps me from looking.  "No one you know... It is just another Sans."  I hear Underfell Papyrus say.  "Yeah... Well see you Edge."  Sans says.  I go to say something but we go through a portal.  

Time skip...

"Sans... Can you teach me how to make those portals?"  I ask Sans later that day.  "Why?"  Mettaton asks.  "I want to be able to do it myself."  I say crossing my arms.  They laugh.  "I guess that is fair."  Papyrus says.  I get excited.  "But only if your next appointment goes well."  Sans says.  I nod agreeing to it.  

At the Appointment...

"There... Now just rest, you'll need to over the next few days."  Dr. Undyne says.  I nod slowly. Suddenly the doors open as I am slipping on my shirt.  Sans goes to pick me when I hear "Oh... Is Lord Fallacy not here with you Encre?"  I look to see someone who looks like Papyrus and Underfell Papyrus.  Sans freezes.  "Who is that?"  I ask.  "Papyrus... Encre, died in Underlust... He wouldn't know who he is."  Dr. Undyne says.  "What?"  The one in Orange says. I am now confused and my head is starting to spin.  "Does he know he is here?" He asks.  "Encre... Calm down... Look me in the eyes."  Sans says.  I look Sans in the eyes.  "Breathe... Just breathe."  He says as he holds my face in his hands.  I take a deep breath.  "Don't start to over think... It makes you feel worse remember?"  He says.   I nod slowly.   "Who is Fallacy, Lord, or is it how he said it... Who is Lord Fallacy?"  I ask.  "They were someone you knew before you met Mettaton and Dr. Alphys."  Sans says to me.  "Oh... Okay!"  I say feeling better.  Sans sighs.  "Mettaton will kill me if I don't get you back before your set time."  Sans laughs then he goes to walk off.  "Sans~"  I whine.  He turns and smiles seeing me with my arms raised.  He picks me up and carries me. "Bye Dr. Undyne, see you next week!"  I say waving at her.  "Be good Encre! Remember to not do too much exercise." She says. "Can I at least take walks?"  I ask curiously.  "Of course, but remember to stay warm and not to take too long of one."   She says.  I smile happily and say "Alright!"  She smiles. 

Time skip...

I have only been getting worse over the past few days, but I don't let them see me hurting. I am sleeping a lot more due to being in pain.  Right now I am taking my walk. My chest is burning so I stop walking while holding my chest.  I lean against a tree then fall backwards.  I hit something hard and grab my head since it hurts. "Woah..."  I hear.  I open my eyes to see the portal close. "Oh no..."  I mutter.  "Just breathe..."  I mutter under my breath, before breathing deeply.     I look around to see older style dressed people.  I am scared of them all.  "WHAT IS GOING ON!!!"  I hear someone yell.  I cover my head and start to sob.  "Hey... Kid do not fret."  I hear.  I look up at them to see them about to touch me.  "No!" I say panicked.  They pull away.  "I am sick... I am really sick, don't touch me."  I say panicking.  "Let me take you to my home then..."  I hear.  I then see someone who looks like Dr. Undyne.  They pick me up and I do not fight it.  I end up passing out due to the pain now in my head and chest. 

I am laying on something firm but soft when I open my eyes.   My soul feels funny.  I try to look at it but it isn't showing up.  I am starting to freak out.  "Woah, calm down there kid."  I hear them feel someone touch my shoulders.  "Dr. Lofty he says he is sick."  I hear.  I blink a few times before looking around. "What is your name?"  I hear from beside me.  I look over and sit up wincing.  "Encre... I... no... My name is Encre."  I struggle to speak.  "Encre... Are you alright?"  A yellow lizard asks me.  I shake my head no.  I am starting to feel hot suddenly.  The lizard feels my forehead and says "You are burning up! Dearie, you should take off your jacket."   I nod slowly and do as told.  I look through my shirt for my soul and can't find it. "Where my soul?"  I ask.  I then say "No... Where IS my soul?"  I ask again properly.  The yellow lizard looks confused. "Sorry if I am freaking you out... I just started to speak again... I was a mute for a... Decade..."  I try to explain.  "A mute?" I hear.  "Um... Someone who... Does... Not speak very often."  I try to explain.  "Oh..."  The lizard says.  "Um... May I know where my soul is... It is highly contagious... My illness."  I say worriedly.  "Eterna and I are trying to remove the gunk off of it, it should not hurt you, unless... You are a vampire."  The lizard says.  I nod slowly.  "Can I see my soul?"  I ask. "If you want to." The lizard says helping me stand.  I set my jacket where I was sitting.  I am slightly shaky as I stand.  "Are you alright?" The one who looks like Dr. Undyne asks.  "I get like this after my treatments... I am usually bed ridden till my next appointment, since I have been only getting worse."  I say nervously.  "Well, this is going to get that gunk right off your bright little soul, so do not fret!"  They say.  "Hey... I thought you said his eyes were coloured..."  I hear.   "Oh... I must... Had been in pain, while sleeping again."  I say softly.  "By the time Dr. Lofty and I are done with with you, you will only hurt from scraps and cuts."  The one that looks like Dr. Undyne says.  "I... Do not... Remember the last time... I did not... Hurt..."  I mutter.  "So Encre... How old are you?"  The lizard asks me.  "I am sixteen..."  I answer as they both lead me into a room.  I see my soul.  It looks so much healthier than it has for a long time.   I can see the rings of colours again.  It moves towards the glass.  "Wow... The kid found their soul right away."  I hear. My soul feels lighter and then I watch as a chunk of the gunk comes off of it.   I feel myself being able to breathe easier.   "Woah... Look at the scarring..."  I hear.  "That is from the needles and my other treatments... The other treatment leaves my soul weak, instead of my bones."  I say softly.  "Darn..."  The one who looks like Dr. Undyne says.
