Brokentale: Underlost Losttale

Mix up

        In the eerie and desolate forest where the smell of blood coated the surrounding trees, a monotone human stood blending in with her surrounding. Stretching out her fingers, she let her magic dance through them: searching for any hints of the missing child. Letting out a sigh, she was a bit disappointed to not have sensed her, but in the same time she was glad. For she did not believe the small child would have bode well in this universe. Preparing to leave, she stopped when she sensed someone behind her. Turning around quickly she was meet with nothing but snow. A heated breath fanned across the back of her neck, carring the smell of death and decay. Very slowly, she soon felt a pair of cold sharp boney fingers griping her shoulder.

"Sans, don't you know how to greet an old friend?" Core, calmly asked. She could hear the monster grin as they tighten their grip.

"heh, you're right. where's my manners. why don't i treat you to a hotdog as an apology?" Forcefully turning her around, she was faced with a skeletal face with the back of his skull bashed open. "this new dog', pales in comparison to all the rest!" Core smiled softly at horror!Sans as he lifted his ax high into the air. Not even attempting to escape, she waited for the impact. Until something pulled onto her soul.

"Oh! Sorry Sans, guess we'll dine later, someone's calling me."

"what!?" He questioned as he lowered his ax. Before she could elaborate, her soul began dragging her off. Horror!Sans tried to grip tighter onto Core's arm to prevent her from escaping, but her body was quickly turning to mist. Lifting his ax once more, he tried to take a swing but was stopped when something crashed behind him. Feeling a pair of warm arms hugging him from the back, he lost his hold on Core. Core chuckled as she was leaving, seeing Frisk trying to console the disappointed skeleton.

                Closing her void like eyes, she let her body catch up to her soul. Opening them once more, she was faced with a very annoyed looking skeleton. Confused and curious, she tilted her head as she looked at the tall skeleton wearing an orange hoodie taking an extremely long drag from his smoke. Blinking a bit, she tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Hi there Orange. Strange of you to call me, but I must say that I owe you some thanks. Sorta saved my head there, literally."

"knowing you, i doubt it. so, friendly meetings aside, why don't we cut to the chase?" Core smiled as she sighed. Placing her hand on her waist, she waved a hand to let him say what he wanted her there in the first place. "i would like to ask if you've seen sans." Core raised her eyebrow as she pointed at her void like eyes. Papyrus let out a small groan. "blue...or blueberry, have ya seen him....or can you try and see if you can tell if he's  anywhere around. cause i can't seem to find him."

"Hmmm....." Core closed her eyes as she tried to sense him. Taking her awhile, she could hear the grinding of his teeth against his cigarette. "Sorry, he's not here." Orange, clutching his fist, he let out a struggled sound of frustration. Seeing him tremble with anger and pain, Core laid her hand ontop of shoulder. "I said he's not here, not that he's dead." His eyesockets widen in confusion and relief as he stared at her. "He must of went to another universe."

"what?.....how? i mean...why..." Core placed her finger to her chin, trying to straighten her thoughts on what she was sensing.

"Well, let's see. I'm kinda sensing alot of random things right now. But basically someone came in and gave your brother a ride out of here."

"wait....why-" Core shush him by putting her finger against his mouth.

"I'm not done. It would seem the driver had a stowaways and one of them landed not too far from here. But don't worry, the driver will keep your brother safe." Swap!Papyrus let out a sigh as his body slightly relaxed at the news. "Aren't you glad you don't have to go and kill your precious girlfriend?" His faced grew bright orange rather quickly.
