But She Died

Pikachulover55 here, so there's another trigger warning in this chapter, the next few are gonna be rough so good luck guys!

Once they got home Sans took Shadow his room. Then he went downstairs to grab her new clothes and quickly brought them to her. "I don't know if you want to shower or just change but you can stay in here tonight."

"I need the shower, I need like twenty showers." Shadow looked disgusted.

Sans nodded and helped her to the bathroom. "Take your time Shadow. I'm so sorry I couldn't save you sooner."

Shadow waved him off with an, "it's not your fault", and shut the door. Soon enough Sans could hear the water running. Shadow was a mess as soon as the door closed. It was easy putting up a front for your friends but alone she crumbled. She was trying to think about how to make the stop tears running down her face. The big fat hot tears dripped onto the floor in front of her as she leaned on the door trying to hold herself up. She didn't wanna be alone, but she didn't feel safe sleeping next to Sans or something. She just got rapped, now's not the time for romance. Shadow was shaking, she didn't even wanna be in here alone. Gathering all her courage she called out, "Sans! Can you please stay outside the door? I'm scared..."

Shadow heard him running up the stairs, "Yeah, I can do that Shad. Just shower and wash away those assholes."

Shadow shakily undressed and got into the shower. She felt slightly safer knowing Sans was guarding the door. She let all the blood and cum wash off of her. It was gross. The cum was dried and sticky and practically refused to come off. After scrubbing for what seemed like forever her skin was finally clean it a little raw and red but clean. A long sigh left her lips as she hugged herself. She felt relieved that it was all over. She dried off and pulled on the pajamas Sans had gotten her then opened to the door. When she did Sans fell in. He was dead asleep. Shadow giggled a little and knelt in front of him.

"Hey sleepyhead lets go to bed", her gentle voice seemed to do the trick because Sans opened his eyes and started to groggily get up. Shadow helped him onto the couch. With that, she went to his room and crawled into his bed. The fact it smelled like him was amazing. He smelled like pine trees and ketchup. Soon even she was lulled to sleep by the comfort his room brought her. Thankfully she had a dreamless sleep.

Shadow found herself awakened by Papyrus ironically telling Sans to shut up. Shadow rolled over trying to sleep but Papyrus kept getting louder and louder and Shadow figured that sleep wasn't going to come back to her. With a long yawn, Shadow slid out of bed. Her hair was messy and tangled and her eyes were sunken in and blank as she wandered down the stairs.

"Hey Shad, see you're trying to be a zombie. Not a good look for you bud." Sans's smooth voice called out.

Papyrus started with the yelling again, "SEE SANS YOU WOKE HER UP!"

Sans simply shrugged and winked at Shadow. He knew Papyrus woke her up but out of his love of Papyrus he didn't say anything.

Shadow tried putting on a bright smile but it looked very forced. Her smiled looked almost painful. "Morning everyone."

Papyrus happily greeted her back and hugged her. At least he was fooled, Sans however knew and went over to her.

"Alphys scheduled you an appointment with our resident therapist Toriel. She should be able to help you. You can go over there anytime today." Sans walked over to her and put an arm around her.
