Undertale: giving soul

Wishes

In a dark Laboratory behind a large sheet of shatter proof glass lived a small child no older then six.

"Garrison! Why have you not given me her update yet? It's almost noon and I have to meet with the King soon".

"Y-yes miss Director", handing her the reports she left in a huff.

She was agitated because of the fact that the child was not making progress at all since coming here other then learning basic skills.

Once they were alone he played with the surveillance system recording over it with blank data.

"Alright little one she's gone".

"Yay~ oh what should we play today sir Garrison".

The child was not an idiot and knew what type of person the Director was, "let's play the Scientific species game~".

"ABC order? Or by year of discovery!", she said back holding up a make shift card game from ripped pieces of paper.

"I like going by year~", Garrison was the only one nice to the child and raised her to be bright and cunning.

The small girl would never show her true colors in front of the Director, she knew to not be harmed she would have to act like she knew nothing at all.

Deep down she yearned for freedom and to enjoy the out side world with others just like herself but settled for the one bit of kindness she had now.

"Oh look at the time! Wait right here", leaving and dimming the lights he came back with a small cupcake and a candle.

"Has it been that long already?", she questioned.

With a happy nod he knelt down, "happy birthday little one~ now make a wish".

Covering her eyes she whispered, "I wish . . . ".

Blowing out the candle it was dark then the lights turned on, "what did you wish for~".

". . It's a secret", she smiled widely as he handed her the small cake and escorted her back to her chamber.

"Well then have a good night little one, I hope we can convince the director differently on her plans". With a strong nod he activated the cameras as he went on leaving the laboratory.

"If only she had more time . . Will the Director really dispose of the child", worried he stayed in his thoughts.

Everyday for the past 2,555 days I have been here living and testing and solving solutions.

Once I realized I was being punished with more work and being drugged with her experiments I started to 'play stupid' as Mr. Garrison put it.

He was kind to me and showed me proper things to establish and elevate my education and characteristics.

I was bright but limited to this small confined lab. "my wish . .", It was the same as every year I've been here. "to be free . . . to run . . . to eat anything but oatmeal . . to be with others my own age . . have fun . . see the different monsters. .".

I am now older but still have no name, "he calls me 'little one' and she calls me 'It or Thing' but other then that I don't really have a name".

This place is awful and the people are rotten or spineless . . She talked about someone she was meeting today, "the king".

'If he knew he would help me right?!'.

I looked around my room and I've always thought I could shimmy out the vents but I was to small to reach it on my own . . Till now.

I've been secretly using magic in small intervals as to not set off the alarm she placed if i ever broke something, 'I refuse to suffer any more then I already have'.

She had planned to use me to help the monsters escape but after I failed her so many times she was going to toss me away in a few weeks.

I placed myself under the vent, "forgive me Garrison". Making a thick and tall bone I raised myself up popping off the vent, "this should do".

I was able to go in with ease as I put the vent back on crawling my way threw, 'did she never think of covering the vent?'. There was a light at the end of the vent leading right out side of a Lab door.

"Okay maybe not as easy as I thought", I had no idea where I was.

Hopping out of the vent I looked both directions before heading down a hallway, "be strong . . Don't be scared".

Tugging at my bandages a bit I stopped, 'people are going to question me if they see me'.

Looking around I peeked threw every door I came across and found a place that had a long white robe, 'This will do for now'.

It had something in its pocket and a badge on it, "huh? . . . A key card! . . What's This , 'W.D. Gaster?' . . I don't think they will mind if I snag it for a while".

Running along I came across a map layout on the wall with arrows, "to all new comers . . Go to section 2b. . . Authorized personnel to 1A- Oh that's where I need to go!! 1A ".

It was to the King's castle as I ran along to a Large door over grown with plants, "its locked!". Taking out the key card I waved it around unlocking it, "ha! Nice~".

Sneaking in I walked along the wall hiding behind pillars and avoiding the knights.

'There are more the closer I get so I should bump into him soon'.

"Like I was saying your Majesty, I will have results soon-", it was the Director and she was being interrupted by someone.

"Please Director Lin, we have heard you say this for years! If you wish for us to support you Give Us Proof!", A tall man in a black turtleneck said glaring at her.

"Unfortunately he is right, I can not keep funding you if you don't show me your progress".

'he's the king . . I remember her talking about him all the time'.

There conversation went on as I stayed hidden behind the pillar.

'Now I have to move before-'.

"Found You!", a small voice came from beside me scaring me.

"Ahh!", I fell to the floor. A goat child a bit bigger then me with a smaller child that looked like me next to him.
