"well, why are ya so concerned? are you a human?" He asks again.

"Look, the fact that you kill people in general is bad. It doesn't matter. I'm concerned at the fact that you kill people." I say.

"look." He reaches out to me.

"No!" I smack his hand away. "Look, I'm not even suppose to be here. I was being chased by wolves when I fell down and suddenly ended up here. I don't even know where here is." I say, my voice cracking. "Just leave me alone."

"kid, can we talk about this?" He asks.

"There's nothing to talk about. I have to go, I need to find a way home." I say walking toward him and kissing his forehead. "Don't look for me." I say walking away.

"kid! wait!" He calls but I just continue you on. I jump the rail and jump into the water below. That wasn't the best idea considering my cloak would be soaked and heavy, but hey, it's just like having thick fur. I swim across the water for what seems like hours before reaching other side of the bay. I sat there for while, it was windy and I was soaked and sneezing. I took the cloak off and searched for a place to stay. I found a little cave and hung the cloak on one of the rocks so that it could dry and I curled up and fell asleep. I suddenly felt my body warming up and I slowly opened my eyes to look around. I sit up looking at a wall and look down to see a hand, a bony hand.

"Sans?" I say softly and he starts to shift and slowly sit up.

"kid, ya finally awake?" He says softly rubbing my head. "welcome home."

"Sans-" I stop and remember that I wasn't wearing my cloak. I hop out of the bed immediately and he almost falls out of the bed. "You knew didn't you?"

"of course i knew." He replies chuckling.

"Then why didn't you kill me? Why are you keeping me alive?" I ask.

"cuz ya don't pose no threat to the monster race. i don't have a reason to kill ya, well that and something else." He says smirking at me.

"Where. Is. My. Cloak." I ask and he points to his closet door. I see it hanging there and walk over to it. It smelled so fresh, he had washed and dried my cloak for me. "How did you even find me?"

"yous can thank 'Viper' for that." He replies laughing.

"What's so funny?" I ask.

"he just seemed to like that name so much. i tried to call him over to me after ya left, but he wasn't payin attention. he immediately responded when i said Viper though." And suddenly a floating bonehead popped up and attacked me on the spot. "see, he really likes ya."

"Sans. What is the other reason you're keeping me around?" I ask looking at him trying to keep Viper from licking my face off.

"that there, is bone-ified information." He says yawning.

"It's about me, I should know about it at least." I say pouting.

"you'll learn about it." He says standing up stretching. "anyways kid, i gotta go and pick up ya clothes."

"My clothes?" I look at him strangely.

"yeah, i got ya some actual clothes made so thatcha don't have to wear that cloak all day everyday. i'm sure it's crampin ya style." He says as he begins changing into his shirt.

"Can you warn me before you do that!" I say turning around.

"oh, sorry. you can peek if ya want to." He chuckles and my face turns red.

"Stop boning around!" I reply crouching in the corner. He walks over and places a hand on my shoulder.

"i'm kidding kid, calm down." He says rubbing my head. "by the way, what is ya name?"

"Oh I never did tell you my name." I say uncovering my face and turning towards him. "It's Ray, my name is Ray." I add.

"ray, that's a nice name. i'm sure you're an arRay of fun." He says and I start laughing.

"You're a real Comic, Sans." I reply and we both burst into laughter.

"Brother! Is someone up there with you?!" I hear a voice call from a far away distance.

"i thought he woulda been gone by now." Sans says standing up. "nah, bro. i was just on the phone crackin a few jokes!" He yells back.

"Well, I'm going to get going now! I'll see you later!" He yells back.

"well ray, i'm goin to go get ya clothes, i'll be back soon okay. please don't run away this time, it puts alotta stress onna guy like me." He winks and leaves out. I flop down on the bed and sigh only to be attacked by Viper again.

"Viper, what's with that skeleton of yours. He's weird." I say looking over at the happy Viper. "Am I just some toy to him? He knows I'm a human, but he doesn't kill me because I'm no threat. There's more to it than just that and I know it is." I say flipping over and smashing my face into the pillow. "Viper....... I like Sans, he's cool and all, but things can't stay like this. People are going to find out about me and then one day, eventually, I'll have to leave. I guess I shouldn't get too attached." I sigh and Viper starts whimpering. "I'm sorry Viper."

"Bark."

I know I could stay, but I have to go home at some point in time." I explain.

"Bark."

"Sans wouldn't miss me. That's absurd." I reply.

"Bark."

"What do you mean Sans talks about me?" I ask glaring at him. "You knew this entire time and didn't tell me. That damn skeleton is going to pay for all the trash he's been talking."

"Bark."

"Calm down? I am calm." I say taking a deep breath and rubbing Viper.

"Bark."

"You're just now realizing I can understand you?" I look over at him. "I did live with wolves for years at a time. It'd be dumb if I didn't know how to speak dog." I reply. "Anyways, what does Sans say about me?"

"Ba--"

"i'm back with ya clothes." Sans walks in through the door causing me to shoot up on all four.

"Dammit Sans!" I say.

"oh viper, i think it's time forya to get back to the others." Sans glares at him and he disappears.
