Chapter One

Forget jobs with other humans, I wanna work with monsters!

There was a war between monsters and humans, and as a result they were trapped under a mountain, it just happened to be a different mountain. It was one in California. The game Undertale was based off these "monsters" that were actually humanoid. All of them looked fairly human, there were just a few traits that made it clear that they weren't. Some were part animal, or had odd colored skin, even various arms and legs. A lot of people accepted them because of the game, but there were a lot of genocide runners that agreed that they should be killed. The general public that had no idea what Undertale was had very mixed views. Sadly in this world of racism and hate towards everyone, no matter the color of their skin, these "monsters" walked into a living hell and there was no Frisk in this world.

This is a simple story of a pure hearted girl that fell in love with the world. Filled with kindness, her heart couldn't understand the reason for hate. She had a pure white soul, and in this world where "monsters" were real, and the humans treated them poorly, Shadow didn't have much of a place here. Today was the day though. She was going to leave her little apartment and try to find a new job. The young twenty two year old worked at a calm coffee house, or at least it was till the "monsters" came to the surface. Since then the shop had nothing but hate, but a nice restaurant with a bar opened up not too far from the beach where Shadow lived. The place was said to be run by these "monsters" that everyone seems to hate for some reason. She figured it would be a nice place to work, it would be quiet and away from the real monsters in Shadow's eyes. Humans were very hard to deal with as of late for her so she put in her two weeks notice and decided she was going to get hired at Grillby's no matter what.

Shadow slipped on a red tank top, with a short skirt and black tights, then threw a black hoodie over it. She quickly looked into the mirror, her ruby red eyes sparkling as she put on just a little bit of makeup. It was just enough to bring out her natural beauty. Then she tied her long shining straight red hair into a ponytail that swayed back and forth with every step she took. Grabbing her small red purse and slipping on a pair of short black heels with a red rose pattern on it, she walked out the door.

Grillby's was fairly close to her apartment complex so Shadow decided it was best to walk. It was a short twenty minute walk. Soon enough she was at the door of the fine establishment. She peeked her head in to see that it was pretty empty. It looked like there were only two people there; a man with fire for hair with bright green eyes, and a man with snow white hair, and black eyes with white pupils. Shadow skittered through the door. Her face bright red due to her shyness. She slowly started walking up to the bar. The two men stopped talking to look at her. They seem confused by her appearance. It was rare for a human to show up in a place ran by "monsters'.

"Um, h-hello?" Shadow nervously said, her voice squeaking as she looked at the two.

"Hello", said the man with fire for hair, "I'm Grillby, would you like to order something?"

Shadow's face lightened up a little at his gentle tone of voice, "I would love to but I'm here for another reason."

Grillby and the snow haired man narrowed their eyes at her. "Oh, what would that reason be?" Grillby asked, his voice getting a bit of an edge to it.

Shadow's face got red again when she realized what they must be thinking so she blurted out what she was here for, "I want to work here."

The two looked fairly shocked at her statement. The snow haired man spoke up this time, "Kid, you do realize this is a monster joint, right? It's no place for humans. Your kind only brings in trouble."
