Chapter Four

Bricks and Parties

Shadow wasn't sure what to do. She watched helplessly as Sans went over to grab it. Bringing the paper over to Grillby for the two to read. The look on their faces were looks of utter disgust. Shadow could see the hate slowly forming in their hearts. She quickly ran to them and touched both on their shoulders.

"Don't worry, we'll figure this out. No need to be angry. That's what they want. The best thing we can do is call the police and move on", Shadow said, her voice calming both males on front of her.

"They broke the window!"

"They could have hit someone!"

"I say we go fight them!"

"Yeah, if they want war we'll give it to them!"

Shadow jumped onto the bar with a quick sorry to Grillby, "Everyone stop it!"

Shadow shouted with all her might and the room went silent, "I know I'm human so you might not want to listen to me. Just, please let me tell you why I work here. Maybe I can help change your minds. I chose to work here because of the people here. It's warm and kind in this place. My old job was filled with hate, rants, and fighting. It never led to anything but more hate. I couldn't stand working at such a place so I quit. We can't let them taint this place, this place is still pure and filled with love and hope. Let's show up the real monsters, the monster that broke the window. In the end it's not how you look that makes you a monster, but the kind of person you are! So, continue on the same we've always have. We shall make it through this, fighting isn't the only option!"

Shadows speech received some clapping from the restaurant's guests. She smiled and got off the bar and quickly started cleaning it. Grillby gave her kind smile and quickly went to the phone to call the police. Shadow knew they would help, they've been targets for hate too. Empathy is a strong thing, and Shadow knew they had it.

After about thirty minutes the police arrived. They cleared out the customers and quickly got their accounts on what happened. Shadow, Sans and Grillby were all that remained. The police asked them what happened. Shadow quickly recounted the story. After looking around outside for any evidence the police left with a promise of finding the perpetrator of this hate crime.

"I wish they could have found more evidence", Grillby sighed.

"The fact they found something is a good thing, even if they can't catch the guy this should deter people from trying this again", Shadow said with a soft smile.

"I don't like this. Those humans are awful, threatening us for no reason. They're gonna have a bad time if they try that again." Sans practically growled.

"No. Doing that will only help their case. By not attacking we're showing the world who the real monsters are. We must stay kind or a war could be on our hands."

Grillby just nodded in agreeance with the girl. Sans was still pissed off but didn't push it further.

"I'm going home", Sans tried to walk out only to be caught by the hood of his faded sky blue hoodie with fur lining.

"Can't we finish our drinks?" Shadow winked at him. Grillby seemed rather impressed with Shadow's actions.

"You want to finish our drinks after all this?" Sans looked taken back as he tried to process what the girl was asking.
