Royalty : Mafiatale :

Chapter 18

I heard the door to the other room shut quietly and quickly, the smoke from Sans' cigar leaving a misty trail in the air. What could they all be talking about in there? Business to do with the mafia or perhaps something personal I guessed. I placed my food back on the counter, forgetting my hunger for a moment. I didn't hear the noises my stomach made due to being lost in my thoughts. I wished I had listened a little closer, as I found out a little while later. I looked over to Lil' Pup, drawing like they always did. I smiled seeing a sight so sweet and out of place in the madness of smoke, booze and blood. This sort of life was normal for the monsters that lived in this secluded world, even Lil' Pup was more accustomed then me. I had only been here a day after all, who knew how long the child had been here. My curiosity peaked, hearing soft mumbles with occasional shouting from the back room. My heart thumped violently in my chest, almost pushing my hand away as I placed it over the fast paced organ. I had to know, Undyne's reaction to me making me more curious as to the subject the monster's spoke of. I stepped gently passed the child that lay on the floor, making my way over to the door and placing my ear against the polished wood surface. I could hear a little better, words still not being completely clear but able to be made out. 

" What were you thinkin' Sans! Takin' in another human like this! " I hear a soft chuckling, almost sounding arrogant and cocky and I assumed it to be Sans. Shuffling noises came from inside the room before letting silence settle once more. 

" What can I say Undyne? My business is mine and mine alone. Keep to yer'self unless you wanna sleep with the fishes hehehe " I could tell that his words were nothing more then a petty and harmless threat, having realized that the skeleton wouldn't have the heart to hurt another of his own kind without good reason. Also the pun that he carefully placed in there gave me the impression that he wasn't taking himself or the situation seriously. Undyne seemed to huff, pulling the door open with a swift and quick movement, causing me to fall backwards onto the floor. I stuttered, unable to speak clearly or even apologize for my actions. Distastefulness turned to a scowl as Undyne grabbed me by the collar of my dress, my legs dangling in the air. 

" What did ya hear punk?! " I sobbed gently, not knowing what to do or say. I just looked to the floor in fear, not answering the fish woman or looking her in the golden eye. A sudden rush of cold air flies by me, causing me to fall to the floor with a loud thud. A glowing blue bone pinned Undyne's sleeve to the wall and left the woman struggling in its grasp. 

" Leave the kid alone, she's just curious ya know? Tibia honest she got more guts then you Undyne " What? What was Sans trying to do? Was he trying to get himself killed?
