FEAR

Frisk Pov

I woke up very early, a nightmare, Gaster, he scared me, no one had ever been able to get past my barrier before, not even my own parents, he was dangerous.. But he reminded me a lot of Sans and Papyrus, I decided to clear my mind with a walk outside, I wasn't going back to sleep that's for sure.. I noticed a blue glow in the distance and walked towards it, I saw Sans clearly in the distance and walked closer, he was staring up at the sky, he was saying something but his voice was so low I couldn't hear him at all, I stepped closer but a branch snapped underneath my foot, I gasped and ducked behind a nearby tree, too late, the same blue glow surrounded me as I was lifted into the air and brought right in front of Sans who immediately after realizing it was me released his hold on me and I dropped to the ground, I patted myself off before looking at Sans, he had remnants of tears on his face, this made me frown at him, why would Sans be crying? I thought to myself, the glow from his eye socket disappeared and his smile returned, he told me let's go home that we had a big day ahead of us, he walked with me back home and we sat down on the couch watching the television until the sun rose, we both knew we wouldn't be going back to sleep.

The kid's in danger and I'm not doing enough to protect her, Gaster... Dad.. Why do you want to come back so bad..? Why are you attacking Frisk? Because she's a human? She's not like the other human's, but you would already know that, so why?! I could feel my rage grow, my eye socket lit up in a blue flame as I stared up, a tear fell from my eyesocket and I cursed under my breath "I swear to you Gaster, I don't know if you can hear me or if you're even listening, but if you come back, and you come after Frisk.. I swear You're gonna have a bad time. As I said these words I heard a branch snap behind me, someone ducked behind a tree, I raised my hand and gripped whoever it was in a magic aura and brought them closer, it was Frisk! I immediately released her and she plopped down to the ground, when she got up all she could do was look at me and frown, oh, I wasn't smiling, hard to keep up with it, I shook away my feelings and put on a big smile and walked back home with her, we watched television till the sun rose, we could both tell neither of us was going back to sleep, for her I couldn't tell why though, did she have a nightmare of some kind? I wasn't gonna ask, to not trigger bad memories, but I couldn't help but wonder.

Ever since that meeting with Gaster I can't close my eyes without seeing his face, it scares me, like he needs me for something but I don't know what.. But I can tell it can't be good, I don't trust him, he's not good like Sans and the others, it's like he's like the demon, Chara.. "You alright there, kiddo?" I heard Sans ask and snapped out of my thoughts, I told him I was just thinking, he asked me what about, should I tell him? I went over it in my head hundreds of times before finally deciding to ask him, "Sans are you related to Gaster?" His eye blazed blue immediately i backed up, afraid that I angered him, I started to apologize but he stopped me, "You've been having nightmares, haven't you kiddo?" I nodded, "about Gaster?" I nodded again, he sighed and angrily punched the air, "he has planted apart of himself in your subconscious, must have been when he injured you, you can block him out with training, it's what I had to learn to do.. He is Papyrus and I's father after all.." I knew they looked similar but I couldn't have guessed Gaster was Sans's father, nor Papyrus's either. "Sans?" I asked "Yeah kid?" He replied "how did you know I had been having nightmares?" I asked him, he sighed again and thought for awhile "I knew this question was coming, but I'm not a hundred percent sure how to answer it. I have nightmares of Papyrus dying the underground being destroyed, the king, Asgore, being murdered by humans.. My home burning down in flames, in my nightmare I kill them, all of them, till none are left, none, but me.. Or so I think, when everything is quiet and I'm surrounded by blood and in grief at my loss, Chara stabs me through my soul, rips it out, and eats it, then I wake up..it's an awful nightmare and I can't always repress it, because it wasn't put there by someone, it's my biggest fear.." His reply chilled me to the bone, it sounded horrible, to watch everyone you know and love die and then to in a fit of rage kill every human responsible, then innocent humans, and in grief and realization to have your sullied soul stolen and eaten by a demon.. I felt myself tear up, Sans had to deal with that fear everyday, was his happiness all an act? How much did he really hate the humans? I wanted to say something but no words would come out, I could only stare at him with tears rolling down my face. "Hey, there's no need to cry over me kid, I'm a tough old skeleton."

The kid had tear after tear rolling down her cheeks, she'd probably never heard something so horrible before, I told her I wouldn't let Gaster get to her, and that I'd fight him if I had to, but I already knew if it came to that none of us not even Asgore would stand a chance, he was just too strong, but with the kid's barrier we might just have a chance, "anyways, as soon as Undyne gets here we'll start helping you train, I'll teach you everything I know." I encouraged her to try and sleep, she agreed reluctantly, I told her I was right here,  she fell asleep on my stomache, no nightmares, she was sleeping peacefully.
