Cherry and Katie's Undertale Adventure

chapter 3

Frisk soon woke up and saw that a dessert was left behind and the same thing happened to Cherry. Toriel couldn't help but feel this was a familiar thing to her, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Katie was listening to her read, a small smile on her face. The voice was quiet, but actually feeling content.

"Mm... Pie..." Cherry smiled as she sniffed the dessert.

Toriel giggled as she made a joke about snails. Katie giggled quietly, her eyes currently turning more red than her normal blue. Frisk chuckled as well while Cherry smirked out of amusement.

Toriel smiled at the two who had just joined them. "Hello, my children... I wasn't expecting you to be awake yet." she smiled.

Katie nodded. Frisk gave a small smile to Toriel.

"Just thought I'd check in after my nap." Cherry said, feeling mildly refreshed.

"Well, it's nice to see you awake... Was there anything I can help you with?" Toriel asked with a smile.

Katie slowly straightened up. It couldn't have been that time already, could it?

"Just curious, but we should be getting back home, so, when can we go?" Cherry asked curiously.

Frisk nodded in agreement as that seemed very important.

"Oh... Um... Why don't I tell you a fact from this book '72 Facts about Snails'?" Toriel suggested. "Did you know that snails don't make good shoelaces?" she asked with a small giggle, trying to distract them.

'Oh, well, time to move on and... Protect our friends from the monsters ahead.' the voice said to Katie.

Katie pouted a little, it was nice here.

Frisk gave a small chuckle in response.

"Um... That's good to know..." Cherry said, not really sure how to react to that, but it seemed silly.

Toriel smiled, thinking she had distracted them. Katie hoped she had too, just for a bit longer.

"So, um, how do we get out of the ruins?" Cherry then asked the goat lady, this place was nice and all, but they had to get back to where they belonged.

Toriel put the book aside and stood up. "Stay here... There is something I have to do." she said and walked out of the room.

Katie glanced at her toy knife, but then made sure it was kept in her belt. She looked at the others then. Frisk watched as Toriel left and had the urge to follow her.

"Where is she going?" Cherry wondered.

Toriel went down into her basement. Katie shrugged and though she didn't want to leave, she led the way to follow Toriel. Frisk and Cherry followed Katie as they came downstairs into the basement which looked a lot like to where they once were before.

"Children, further along here lies the door to the Ruins... I am going to destroy it," Toriel said. "Now be good and go upstairs." she then finished and carried along.

Katie bit her lip, but followed. Cherry's eyes widened in shock to that. Frisk followed with Katie as if by instinct which made Cherry follow like a sheep.

Toriel sighed as she noticed them still following her. "I'm doing this to protect you... If you leave the Ruins, they... Asgore... Will kill you," she told them. "I will destroy the door so no more children will be hurt." she said and carried on.

Katie bit her lip again, but continued to follow. Frisk and Cherry just kept following after Toriel, ignoring her protests.

Soon they reached a door at the end of the corridor and up a little. "Is it that unbearable to live here with me? Fine... But before you may go, you have to prove to me you can survive out there." Toriel frowned and turned around, sending them into the fighting world.
