Your POV
I let out an "oof" as I collided with the ground.
And, I'm... not dead.
My head swung upwards as I evaluated my surroundings. "Woohoo!" I cheered, throwing my arms in the air. "I'm alive!"
At a terrible price, as I was soon to discover.
I shakily stood up, my legs feeling a little like jelly. I stumbled over to a doorway, and, seeing as I had nowhere else to go, I stepped through.
Before I could get very far, though, a golden flower came out of the ground and blocked my path.
I flinched at his sudden appearance, but soon recovered and gasped. "They are real!" I squealed in excitement.
The flower scoffed. "Well, yeah. And the humans locked us down here for over 100 years."
"Aww, I'm sorry about that," I apologized for something that wasn't my fault. "What's your name? I'm (Y/N)."
The monster smiled, and tilted his head. "I'm Flowey. Flowey the Flower."
"Nice to meet you, Flowey! I've gotta get going. I'll see you later." I began to walk away, but a vine gripped my leg and pulled me back.
"W-wait! You don't know how things work down here! I can show you, if you want!" he offered, sounding a tiny bit impatient.
"I think I'll survive," I answered, smiling down at him.
I dislodged my leg from his grip and walked through the next door.
"WAIT! YOU AREN'T READY!" Flowey screeched, but I ignored him.
He seems nice enough.
I ate my words as vines grabbed both of my legs, but this time they were thorny and really hurt as they punctured my skin.
"I TOLD YOU THAT I WOULD HELP YOU!" Flowey growled, glaring at me.
"Fine, fine," I whimpered, wincing. "Just let go."
He sighed and released me, his smile returning. "Welcome to the Underground, (Y/N)!"
I felt a burning sensation in my chest, and a golden heart emerged from it. "Woah, cool!" I said, stars in my eyes.
Flowey grinned. "That's your soul! The very culmination of your being!"
"My... soul?" I echoed, moving it around at will.
He nodded in amusement. "Yup! Your soul starts off weak, but in the Underground, it will get stronger if it gains a lot of LV."
"What does LV stand for?" I asked absentmindedly, still admiring my soul.
"Great question!" he praised. "It stands for LOVE, of course!"
I immediately stopped and shot him a 'really?' face.
He either didn't notice it or didn't care, because he went on. "Why don't you take a little LOVE? I'd be happy to share some with you!"
I debated whether I should trust him, because 1: he was a talking flower, 2: I literally just met him, and 3: he hurt me with vines.
So, I shook my head. "I'm fine, thank you." I folded my hands, giving him a small smile.
"W-well, I thought that you would want some because... Oh, forget it. I'm tired of you." With that, he disappeared into the ground again with an irritated look on his face.
I shrugged, wondering what got him so mad.
(A/N: This is literally how I'd act though XD)
A white figure whisked towards me gracefully, her purple dress flowing behind her. Upon closer inspection, I saw that she looked like a goat.
Crap. Is she... dancing?
I shivered, wiping my sweaty palms on my pants.
"Hello, my child. I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins. And you?" the goat lady said, stopping while her flowy dress swayed.
"I-I-I-I... I'm (Y/N)," I squeaked, covering my eyes with my hands. "I need to get out of here," I whispered under my breath.
"Nice to meet you, (Y/N)," she responded, her voice as soft as velvet.
Uncovering my eyes a little bit, I saw her have a sweet, motherly look on her face.
She did a little twirl and offered her hand. "Join me, my child. I shall guide you through the catacombs."
I froze, a scream building up in my throat. I definitely needed to get out of there.
My whole body trembling, I screeched and felt tears growing in my eyes. I took off running, Toriel calling behind me, sounding very confused.
I pressed on, my fear growing. I had no idea why I was afraid of such a stupid thing, but I really was.
I climbed up some stairs quickly and tried to escape my phobia. It was okay. I was okay.
My breathing returned to its normal state as I took a deep breath.
Toriel turned around the corner, staring at me with a confused expression. "My child? Are you alright?"
I returned the stare, my face white. "I-I'm sorry, ma'am. I just... I'm afraid of dancing."
She put a paw to her mouth as if she was trying not to laugh. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll try to keep myself from waltzing."
