Amy's POV

   The first thing I realized standing outside the Ruins door, was that the surrounding area seemed to be nothing but snowy forest. The ground was covered in a thick layer of snow starting a few feet from the Ruins door, at least up to my knees. The trees were tall, far too tall for me to safely climb. And even though I was Underground, it was cold enough for me to see my breath. I rubbed my hands together as I started walking through the deep snow, legs going numb almost as soon as I stepped into it.

   "I should have grabbed a cloak or something from the Ruins...then again, I wasn't exactly expecting to have to leave, let alone be entering a winter wonderland when I did." I muttered, keeping an eye out for any Monsters. I had no doubt that Tori and Toriel weren't the only Monsters down here, and if the rest of the Monsters down here were like Tori then I had to keep my guard up. 

   I wandered through the trees and snow for a while before spotting something up ahead through the trees. I crept closer, trying to be as quiet as I could until I peered from behind a tree. Laying in the middle of a large clearing, was what looked like a sleeping skeleton. Though there were some obvious differences from a normal skeleton. The first difference was this thing was at least 11 feet tall, meaning I was just under half its height! The other thing I noticed was it looked wider than most skeletons I'd seen before, and was wearing clothes too! It had on a worn, black jacket with fur around the hood, a red sweater, black shorts with a yellow strip up the sides, and strangely enough, pink slippers.

   "Pink slippers? Seriously?" I giggled. The skeleton let out a snort and I clapped my hands over my mouth, hoping it hadn't heard me and was waking up. After a few tense moments, it seemed to fall back asleep. I looked more closely, noticing this skeleton had claws on its hands, and the skull had two horns pointing out the sides and one atop the head. I crept closer but suddenly heard a branch snap behind me. I sup around- and met the snarling face of another skeleton Monster, inches from my own.

   This one looked almost exactly like the one in the clearing, except the hoodie was a faded baby blue, the sweater was white, and the shorts had a white stripe on them. It wore the same slippers however. The Monster sniffed me, eyesockets narrowing as it noticed the Dust on my shirt. Did it think I'd killed Toriel? Did it know her? Gulping nervously, I backed away- only to hit a solid object seconds later. I looked up and met the red gaze of the skeleton that had been in the clearing.

Comic's POV

   I'd been watching this Human since they came out of the Ruins. It had been a long time since another Human fell into the Underground, and this one was covered in Monster Dust. I knew I had to keep an eye on her, make sure she didn't kill any more helpless Monsters. I watched from a short distance as she wandered through the forest, struggling to get through the deep snow- well, deep for her. She wasn't a very tall Human, she couldn't have been more than half my height. Her red hair made her stick out in this white forest, easy target for any Monsters nearby.

   I watched as she came upon the clearing one of my brothers was sleeping in, my twin. I growled softly as she looked at him, figuring she was getting ready to make her move against him. I came up behind her, growling as a branch snapped under my weight. She spun around, eyes wide. I sniffed her over, confirming that it was in fact Monster Dust coating her clothes. I almost chuckled when she tried to back away, only to back right into my twin's chest.

  'Hey, Bro. Have a nice sleep while the Human almost snuck up on you?' I said to him through our Bond. He growled at me in reply, eyes snapping down to the Human before he shoved them to the ground, pinning them in place with just a single hand. I let out a huff as she struggled under him in vain, looking at her SOUL- only to find no signs of Malice, or Guilt or Corruption at all. Only Sadness, Fear, and Loneliness.

   'Hey, back up off her. Her SOUL's clear, the Dust isn't her fault.' I said.

   'How can you be sure?! She's covered in it! She's a filthy Monster Killer, she smells like those goat ladies at the Ruins! We need to get rid of her before she kills anyone else!' he growled at me. I noticed the girl starting to cry and yanked him off her. He let out a huff, turning his back to me but not walking away. I walked to the girl, doing my best to let her know we meant no harm.

   "N-no! L-leave me alone!" she said, crawling backwards until she hit a tree. I dropped to all fours, trying to look less intimidating as I walked over to her, stopping within arms reach. She shook, with fear or cold I couldn't tell. I saw the tears on her face freezing to her skin and made a split-second decision. Reaching forward, I snatched her up and gathered her in my arms before she could protest and stood on my two legs again, heading for the Den. My twin followed me, growling and grumbling the whole way.
   

   'Can not believe you're bringing that thing to the Den...if it goes after our younger brothers, I'm not saying I told you so.' he growled. I ignored him as I held the shivering Human girl against me, hoping she'd warm up as I pulled my jacket around her more to block out the cold wind.
