The Unhealthy Obsession (Geotale)

The Stalker

Tabby was alone in his room reading the book Undyne lent him when he heard a noise downstairs. He put the book down and got up, he only assumed it was Undyne. (Maybe she's here to tell me something) he thought to himself as he left his room and walked down the stairs, but to his surprise he didn't see Undyne, instead he saw a red portal. He had stopped half way down the stairs as soon as he saw it, he soon continued and walked towards the portal. Curiosity hit full force as he put a hand i to the portal, (i should go tell Undyne about this) he thought, but before he could pull his hand out he felt something grab ahold of him and pull him through. He landed on the ground and in the snow, he was shocked and confused, as he got up and looked around he noticed he was in what appeared to be his home town except somehow different. Before he could even take a step to look around he felt something hard hit the back of his head, before he could feel any pain he blacked out.

Tabby woke up in a dimly lit room, he felt pain in the back of his head, he soon realized he couldn't move. He looked down to see he was strapped down to a chair, two straps on his wrists, two on his ankles, and one on his neck. He felt fear creep up on him as he soon heard the sound of footsteps coming closer to the room. He was faced away from the door behind him, and at this point Tabby was terrified, he didn't know what was going on nor what will happen to him. He froze in fear as he heard the door slowly creak open, he heard the footsteps draw closer and closer until they stopped right behind him. Tabby whimpered a bit, he wasn't able to turn his head to see who it was, he didn't want to know, he just wanted to go home. Tabby was about to plead for his release when the stranger went around the chair and infront of him, he now had a good look at him. He was really pale, almost completely white in color, he had a single eye with a red slit as a pupil. He wore a black hoodie and long purple pants, but what caught Tabby's attention wasn't what he was wearing or what he looked like, it was the knife in his hand. It had blood stains and dust on it, the stranger then spoke "aww, im sorry Tabby, did i scare you?" His voice was so calm, it almost sounded genuine. "I see you're intrested in my knife?" The stranger brought the knife closer to Tabby's face, this caused Tabby to tense up and shut his eyes tightly in fear. There were now tears in Tabby's eyes, the stranger put the knife away "im sorry sweetheart, i didn't mean to scare you" Tabby opened his eyes and looked at the stranger, still overwhelmed with fear. "P-please.. i just wanna go home.." Tabby spoke, the stranger just chuckled a bit, "this is your home now" he wiped Tabby's tears away and smiled. "Now, are you going to run away?" "N-no.." Tabby responded, this made the stranger smile more "good" he said as he unstrapped the fearful smaller skeleton. Tabby seemed a bit too scared to get up from the chair, so the stranger decided to lift him up and put him down standing upright. The stranger then took out a blue collar and put it on Tabby, Tabby looked at it and to his surprise it already had his own name on it aswell as a phone number on the back. The stranger then attached a leash to Tabby's collar and lead him out of the room and out the front door. By now Tabby noticed he had some bandages on the back of his head, he thought about how he got knocked unconscious, he wondered if his skull was cracked. He noticed some other monsters staring at him, this was normal in his au but here it felt more threatening. "Be careful now sweetie~ these monsters bite~" Tabby felt more afraid now, he quickly got closer to the stranger, even though he had no feeling of security here, he felt the only one who would protect him was this awful stranger. The stranger noticed Tabby getting closer to him, he had this horrible grin across his face as if he planned this.

As they walked they soon got to a bar, Tabby knew he wasn't suppose to go in bars but he'd rather disobey Undyne this one time than get dusted in this god awful place. The stranger opened the door to the bar, Tabby cautiously walked in as the stranger soon followed, he lead Tabby to the bar table and sat down. He patted the seat next to him and Tabby sat there. "Hey Grillby, get me some wine" he said as Grillby got him a glass of wine, he then looked at Tabby with a smile as he took a sip of the wine. Tabby gathered the courage to finally say something "w-why did you take me here?.." the stranger finished his drink and put the glass down "because i want you" Tabby fell silent again, too afraid to say the wrong thing. This caused the stranger to chuckle, he put the money on the counter and got up with Tabby "its time to go home sweetheart~" Tabby went back to the stranger's side as they left the bar.

About an hour after they got back, Tabby had been allowed to look around the house but for the most part stayed in his room. He then heard the sound of the stranger leaving through the front door, the adrenaline started to kick in as he had the decision to run. He quickly decided the take his chance, he snook out of his room and opened the front door, he looked around and saw no one outside. Tabby took off in a sprint towards the ruins, (maybe Asgore will be there, he'd help me) he thought to himself as he ran. He felt his excitment grow as he saw the ruins, but to his dismay he was grabbed by his ankle causing him to fall in the snow. Fear replaced the excitement as he started to get dragged away, he tried to grab onto anything he could but with no avail. Whoever was dragging him seemed to stop, they then put a foot on his spine to hold him down. Tabby winced a bit in pain due to the pressure being put on his spine, before he could do anything to get away he felt his energy start to drain, soon to the point where he went limp. It all stopped and the pressure was released off of his spine, he was then picked up and held infront of the stranger from before. He had found Tabby, Tabby then noticed the red gem in his hand. (How did he get that?) Tabby thought to himself, he was too weak to talk, the stranger smiled at Tabby and held him close as he made his way back to the house. Tabby soon drifted off to sleep.
