[ON HOLD] Fallen Glitches

3 - Curiosity Killed The Cat

Part three. Enjoy! (This chapter is full of references to anime, however, this was unintentional. Comment if you spot any.)

=========================================================================

Ink's POV: (Short)

Everything is set. I hope, no, I know he'll show, but until then - we wait.

=========================================================================

Error's POV:

Once a majority of the pain had subsided, I opened the code files and searched for Ink's latest creation. It didn't take me long too find it, though, Ink usually disguises them better, but I'm not complaining - it makes my job easier.

Ink had made a new AU copy. The code indicated that it was a copy of the UnderSwap AU, but there were bits of it's code that were missing. I'd have to go to the AU itself to find out why though, which is a huge pain.

I closed the files and sighed. "BeTteR GeT tHIs oVEr WiTh."

I opened a portal to the newest UnderSwap copy and looked through, everything seemed to be normal, but, I sensed something was wrong. I didn't like the feeling of this AU. However, being the curious being I am, I went through the portal despite the horrible feeling crawling down my spine. Instead of closing the portal after me like usual, I left it open in case I needed to exit quickly.

Gingerly stepping forward, I edged away fom my only source of safety. As I left the safety of the portal I felt multiple sets of eyes watching my every move. I summoned my strings and a couple of sharpened bones. I have a right to be paranoid, I get attacked in almost every, no, actually every AU I step foot into - no matter how pacifistic it's inhabitants are.

Once I was a few metres away from the portal I had to close it anyway - if I got attacked now, it would be entirely useless to me.

I took the route the human takes to Snowdin Town, partly so I could do Blue's pointless, but amusing puzzles, but mainly to see why code was missing from the files.

I carried on towards Snowdin Town, keeping an eye socket out for anything unusual. A few times I thought I saw something or someone hiding in the treeline, but whenever I went to take a closer look there was nothing there.

I didn't encounter any monsters on route to Snowdin which was odd, unless the human started a genocide route... but even then there'd be dust piles.

I walked past the Snowdin shop and Muffett's, and headed for Blue's house. The deserted town was eerily silent, there were no monsters to be seen or heard. The only indication that there should have been inhabitants in the frozen town was the warm, welcoming homes that sat in the pure, untrodden snow.

The AU had an unfinished feel to it along with an underlying sense of unease. I'd been on edge the entire time I'd been in this AU - it just didn't feel right. My thoughts had initially gone to Nightmare and the gang, but there was way too much positivity for them to have been here.

Standing infront of the Swap brothers' house I felt uneasy. I was waiting for Stretch to jump out from somewhere and try to kill me. When that didn't happen, I brought my hand up to the door to knock, but stopped. Placing my palm flat against the wooden door I sighed - no one was going to answer if there's no one here.

I couldn't bring myself to start destroying the AU, I'd made a promise to Blue that I would leave him and his copies alone unless there were too many or they were the only AUs being created. Now, don't get me wrong I hate making promises just as much as any other Sans, but, again like any other Sans, there's one thing I hate more than making a promise - that's breaking one. I don't know how Blue got me to make a promise, but somehow he did. He reminds me a lot of... someone.
