With her cowboy hat, and a sort of fake gun, she looked like a real wester girl.
The justice soul was running, she had to be arround fivteen or something.
Why was she here ? In this place full of monsters ? Who all wanted to take her soul ?
She didn't knew ! She was thinking, all of that was just a legend !
She fell here because months ago, her brother was gone from the orphanage.
Both of them losed their parents, she couldn't lose her brother.
She couldn't lose anyone, not again.
That's why she was running.
She wanted justice to raise. She still don't get why her hot-headed brother wanted absolutely to come here. Maybe because of the legend ?
The legend in the book.
People in the orphanage said that a girl took the book with her after escaping some bullies, and that the book was near a big hole in the mountain.
How could her brother possibly don't fall for this history ?
He always has been like that. She sould have kept an eye on him.
But she didn't. And now he was surely somewhere in this place full of dangers.
It's been days now.
The cowgirl really was lucky.
She was clever, she avoid all and every traps Monsters have made for her.
But her faith was written arround Hotland. (A place in the Underground)
-Hello there.
She jumped at these words. She didn't saw the monster coming.
-Dammit !
She turn back, but another monster was here.
-Heya. Sorry for that.
On her left and right were only lava.
She understood, she didn't have any chances anymore.
-P-please, don't kill me ! I... I'm here for my brother ! He is twelves and... He wore bandanas !
I... Think he had his boxer gloves... Do you know where he could be ?!
The two skeleton stay quiet for a court moment.
The short one took a step in her direction, encouraged by the taller one.
-I'm....sorry, every humans that fall here....
Some bones get out of the ground and pierce the cowgirl.
-...Die.
The yellow soul has been destroy into pieces.
-Take the soul and bring it to the king castle.
-Why me ?
-Because my experience gonna wake up soon. I want to see her.
-Experience !? Are you mad !!??
-Do NOT talk to me like that ! Is it clear ? Just bring the soul to King Asgore !
The short skeleton step back.
-Yes...Dad.

-I see you are awake.
Actually, I wasn't completely but this is nice to wake me up when I'm having a dream.
I didn't answer at first, I wanted to understand where I was.
-Are we in an hospital ?
-What ? No no no. You are in my laboratory.
I turn back to him.
-You did not tell me you were a scientist !
-I didn't tell you much. Anyways, I get you here to stabilizate you soul.
-What ?
-Stabilizate your soul. You are here for your soul.
-What is wrong with my soul ?
-Well, your soul was losing her energie and I prefered not to take any risk.
He looked very serious now.
-That is very nice to you. I am fine now. I need to go find my sister.
I stood up too far and miss to fall.
-Whoa there, just a minute, you still need some rest.
I didn't try to fight back when he put me to bed again.
Guess I was too tired anyways.
He told me he was going to search some food even if I wasn't hungry.
-You need to take some forces. I go get you... something.
Right.
I closed my eyes.
But everything was dark.
No toughts about my familly anymore.
I still had hopes and that's all that matter.
I saw something really scary.
My visions told me something really bad.
Something is going to happen.
And I will not like it.

Again, M.Gaster woke me up.
-Are you okay ?
-I am fine... Said with a sleepy voice.
-Did you had nightmares ?
No need to tell him about the visions.
-Yes.
-Do you want to talk about it ?
Your wife is gonna die.
-No, thanks.
-You must miss your familly.
Was it the first time he ask me a question not related about the Hybrids but about me ?
YES.
-How could I don't ?
-Maybe you don't want to talk about them, then, I could talk about mine ?
That is interesting.
-Well I know you have a son...
-Two, exactly and a wife.
I smiled, he seemed so happy to talk about his familly.
He continue :
-The older brother is the one you met at the garbage dump, his name is Sans, he have ten years old.
-Does he have a younger or an older brother ?
-Younger ! Papyrus is three Sans love him so much, the last day, he ask me to go to the garbage dump to search toys for Papyrus.
-That's s cute !
He smiled.
-Isn't it ? Papyrus adore is brother too. He say that he want to be as cool as him.
-Aw.
Gaster continue to talk about his sons for a while and I ask him about his wife.
-Ha. My wife.
All of the sudden he was not smiling anymore
-You see, she is very sick since Papyrus was born.
-Ho no.
Three years ? Seem a lot to me.
-What kind of disease does she suffer from ?
He stayed silent for a moment.
-I...could we talk about something else ?
-Ah ! Of courses ! Excuse my impoliteness.
He wave is hand.
-That's nothing.
I hesitate a little before deciding to talk about my familly.
I told him about my father, saying how much he would look like the scientist with some glasses,
talked about mom, about how much she care about us,
and my sister who was as cute as his sons, and how much I miss them.
-Poor you.
-I am an Hybrid I don't need any pity !
I stood up and praticcaly scream thoses words.
-I'm sorry, I'm sorry ! Please calm down...
I sat, grumpy.
-Excuse me, but are Hybrids more importants ? Deserve more respect ?
-What ? No ? Everyone is important for shifting the balance !
-The balance ?
I schrug at his question.
-I just heard some adults saying that, same for the pity thing.
-I see.
He took a look at his watch.
-Time to go to bed. I will come back tomorrow.
-Wait, you mean I am going to stay here all alone in the night ?!
He was already walking in the direction of the door when he turned back :
-Exactly.
-But - !
The door slamed.
...seriously ?
