An Undertale Story: Return

Chapter four

"Atari..... we have to talk,"

I shook my head in disbelief, in front of me stood two rather strange look alike's of Sans only the have some major differences.

"Wh-Who are you?" I muttered barely even loud enough for myself to hear, the more colourful of the two gave a warm smile while the other whom was glitching all over the place shrugged.

"My Name is Ink and this is Error, we are Umm, well, the voices you hear in your head, back when you were first created Gaster had created a machine to try and bring us to him, it sort of worked when he blasted your head with that beam and had I not chosen to use a little magic of my own he would have killed you, all along he wanted to push you to a breaking point and bring you back just before death to make sure we stayed because well without us you wouldn't be standing here right now, when you first died I placed your soul into a little vile in which caused a small shard to stay in the actual world, I knew by doing this your Sans wouldn't do what Genocide or UnderFell did, which was murdering everything until there was nothing left for him to feel for, thankfully he knew something was amiss ever since you first complained about voices and managed to get information out of Gaster when you were all very little, and well after you did the Umm, thing, your soul shedded a piece of itself and well.... ERROR PUT HER DOWN!" The one who called himself Ink shouted, Error was using strange strings to hold me in the air as he studied me. He got closer than I would have liked and poked my stomach which made me lurch backwards in pain as he grabbed the small soul that rested there, Ink was walking over but stopped himself when he noticed what Error was doing. The glitchy Sans was testing it for something by prodding it and finally attached a string of whatever that stuff was to it, snarling I ripped myself free and the soul returned to me. Error didn't seem pleased by this and crouched down noticing I was in agony after that, with a smirk he grabbed my soul and began to do the same thing making me lurch back in pain.

"Error leave her alone!" Ink growled tapping his foot impatiently, finally after attaching a string to my soul he put my soul back.

"I was only creating a protective barrier Ink, chill, I was also making sure that if she died she would come here so we can help her," Error mumbled shrugging his shoulders, Ink gave a sigh and helped me stand.

"You better wake up now Atari, I'm sure we will meet each other very soon," Ink promised, I gave a half hearted smile before jerking awake. Clutching my chest I took deep breaths which caused Sans to wake up, seeing me clutching my chest he sat up with concern.

"Atari what's wrong!?" He asked his voice filled with worry and fear, I shrugged looking down.

TELL HIM NOTHING ATARI!!!

I heard Error shouted in my mind, wincing I looked at him slightly before looking down.

"J-just a nightmare," I mutter almost too softly to hear, with a kind smile Sans pulled me into a soft cuddle while I began to think over my dream.

"What was it about?" He hushed rubbing my back slowly, I froze at his question and he seemed to noticed and pulled me back to face him.

"I-It was nothing," I whisper wincing when Sans gave me a glare, I tried to pull away from his grip but it only tightened.

"Atari!" He growled, wincing I looked down tears forming in my eyes. Feeling his grip loosen I pulled away rubbing my arms, I could feel his regret coming off of him like a waterfall.

"A-Atari... I'm sorry," He croaked, I stood up and headed for the door.

"I'm going out," I grumbled before closing it behind me as I walked out, I put my large cloak on and headed outside into the cold snow of Snowden. Pulling the hood over my head I began to absently walk towards Grilbys, upon entering Grilby gave me a kind look as he walked over to the bar as I sat down.

"What's wrong Atari?" He whispered as he handed me a glass of water, I winced remembering my recent talk with Sans.

"I-It's nothing..." I mutter drinking the water, Grilby lifted my chin and when he noticed the hurt in my eyes his gaze went from soft to serious.

"Did Sans hurt you?" He questioned in a serious tone, I shake my head and without knowing it I was rubbing my sore arm. Without second thought Grilby grabbed my arm and lifted my sleeve to see a very bruised bone, yanking my arm away I pulled the sleeve back down tears beginning to fall down my face again.

"That bone headed idiot should know better than to snap, especially in your fragile state," he growled, hearing the door to the bar open I winced knowing it was Sans. Grilby sent him a glare as he sat dow beside me, wiping my tears away I continued to drink my water.

"Atari come on, I'm sorry, please..." Sans pleaded, feeling my soul crack I turned to him slightly.

"Sans its best you leave," Grilby warned, Sans shook his head.

"I won't leave Atari alone, especially with you," Sans growled glaring at Grilby, I knew Grilby always looked at me as a little sister but I had begun to guess that he was wanting more than that.

"Sans you aren't helping her, especially after what you did," Grilby hissed his flames getting brighter, Sans stood up and the two began to stare each other down. Being unable to stand this anymore I stood up my magic out of control, gripping onto the bar I felt sharp pains shoot through my head.

"Ohhhhh Ataaaaaariiiiiii!!" Hearing a new voice I took off, this new voice sent me into a state of panic for reasons I didn't know. Running I felt like my soul was being squashed, after running quite a distance away I collapsed. Looking forwards I noticed a large figure walking towards me, I tried to scream for help as I blacked out.
