Sans woke up next to Serifa once more. He was very confused. What had just happened? Did he really manipulate gravity for these Royal Guards?There was one way to find out.

He looked at the ice skates he had given Serifa the previous night. ''Previous night''... He wasn't even sure what counted as the previous night anymore. Nevertheless, it wasn't time for those kinds of questions.

He focused on the skates and raised his left arm. The skates immediately started floating and going up, slowly reaching the ceiling. Whatever movement his arm was doing, the skates were following it. He tried to do the same with his right arm, which was still a bit sore after the damage it had taken. Fortunately, his right arm had the same power as the left.

Soon,he felt that, even by moving such small objects, the energy he was wasting was too much. He only had to use this power if all else failed. He also had to come up with a new plan.

-Serifa... Sweetie,wake up...

-Oh...hey there... she yawned.

-I'm sorry but...you have to get up.

-Why...? I'm so sleepy right now...

-I know you are, darling. But you need to listen to me.

-What is it...?

-There are Royal Guards outside. They have come...for you.

-Oh,my God... Serifa's eyes widened in fear. What are we gonna do now?

-Listen,I have an idea. You'll hide in the kitchen. I'll go tell the Guards that I got you and you're upstairs. If I'm lucky enough, they'll both follow me upstairs and you'll have the chance to run outside the house and hide.

-And if you're not...?

-Then...I'll have to fight.

-Aren't they monsters too though...? I mean...they are your kind. Would you really want to fight them?

Sans looked down.

-I don't want to fight them. But if it came to that...I'd start a war for you.

Serifa noticed the sad tone in his voice and changed the subject.

-Well...What if you do succeed? Where should I go?

-Run to Grillby's and hide. The people there love you, so if you tell them you're hiding, they'll be sure to cover for you.

-Even if they know that I'm human?

-I know that you're human. Am I betraying you?

-I guess not! Serifa smiled.

-Alright,get ready. Better do this sooner than later.

Serifa went into the kitchen and hid behind the half-opened door. Sans kissed her forehead before heading out.

-We can do it! he ensured her with a smile.

He went outside and greeted the Guards. They were surprised he knew they were there.

-How did you find us, Sans?

-This is my house guys. I know when someone is watching! he winked.

-Do you know why we are here?

-I can imagine. You're here for the human, aren't you?

-Yes...Where is she?

-I tied her up in my room. You guys can come take her.
