Within The Barrier (An UnderTale Fanfiction.)

{Chapter Six: Snowstorm}

{I've put some music up at the top so you all have an idea of what I listen to when writing this. Frankly I've recently discovered this musician and I love their work! Check them out, their channel is Tristan Gray!  (Note this song was changed to C# Minor for all you music geeks so the mood has been changed and doesn't sound 100% the same). Also in this chapter I tried to get a lot more descriptive so I hope that worked out. Now on with the story ;3. }

The air was thick and heavy, a sense of panic settling on the three as they began to look around frantically for the source of the noise. The wind howled around them, branches making their way to the ground while the tree's began to sway from side to side. Arial was quick to realize what was going on right as a larger branch fell right in front of them, causing them all to flinch backwards.

Then a louder more sickening snap sounded.

"GASTER MOVE" Arial shrieked upon realizing what was going on. She quickly pulled back but Gaster went forward, a tree falling in-between Arial and the other two. 

A large flurry of snow flew up into the air, more trees being knocked over or moved by the old spruce tree. The snow didn't seem too be letting up either and it wouldn't be long where opening the door to Home from the outside would become a distant memory.

Slowly as most of the snow caused from the fallen trees began to settle, the air filled with panic and fear as they noticed Arial wasn't there with them.

"ARI!" Gaster called out quickly, looking around for a path around the tree. There was absolutely no way the two could get over it as of now, especially with all the snow.

"I'M FINE G!" She called over the trunk, calming his nerves as he looked over at Harrington who seemed to be taking everything in.

"Do you know the way back still?" He asked Gaster slowly.

"Yeah... We should go get her help." Gaster responded

"Then off we go! We will be back Arial!" Harrington shouted enthusiastically, dragging Gaster along through the snow for a moment. 

Once again there was silence between the two, though Hari was marching along with enthusiasm rather than the awkwardness the three had shared earlier.

The snow began to let up enough for them to actually to see one another as well as some of their surroundings. Though the temperature definitely dropped.

Skeletons typically don't feel temperatures until they began to get extreme. Usually they would begin to get cool around the same temp that water freezes, and would begin to get warm at around 100 plus degree's. 

Now for them to get cold it would have to be well into the negatives before it got uncomfortable or they would have to be ill in some manner. Same concept for heat except it would have to be well into the 100's because of their lack of Thermoreceptor nerves, the nerves responsible for -temperature. They are not none-existent though, they are mostly located in the spine with is usually the first part affected by temperature changes. 

At this point it was beginning to become a little chilly for Gaster, even through his sweater and lab coat. Harrington didn't seem as affected at the moment though, probably having something to do with his armor.

"Who knew the temperature could get so low down here.." Gaster finally spoke up, hoping to get over his own awkwardness and start some small talk. 

"Oh? I guess its getting a bit chilly." Hari responded with a smile. "Though we are almost there and we can help get Arial from the other side of the tree. Luckily no one was hurt" Hari added.

Gaster hummed a response while looking around at the snow that became nothing more than a soft snowfall. Eventually his gaze landed back onto his hand intertwined with Harrington's. His blush quickly returned as he quickly slipped his hand out of Hari's grip, silently hoping he didn't take notice.
