"Whatever it is, it happens pretty much the same every day. No matter where I go to sleep, no matter what I do to try and prevent it, I start every morning, outside, at the bottom of the hole. Some days it's deeper. Others, it's full of mud. Sometimes there's bones, but I don't know if they're people bones or animals. I wish I knew the difference..."

We saved each other. I saved him on the verge of dying, while... he saved me from loneliness. When I met him, I finally found my meaning, I found my happiness, and I found what I was missing. He gave me a purpose, and gave me my freedom. That's all that matters... My life was rather boring and dull. Being a princess wasn't so fun after all. I don't want the throne nor do I want to be powerful. I just wanted to live normally and be free! Free to make a decision of my own, free to choose what path I want, and free to love someone I desire. I knew life wouldn't be that easy on me. When I met a certain black skeleton laying on my garden... well maybe my life isn't so bad after all. [Be warned that the grammar is slightly shit since I'm too lazy to actually edit it. Written when I was 13 and it's kind of cringe... I don't ship any ship I mentioned here anymore, stop commenting about it. Heavily mischaracterized... Well regardless, I hope you enjoy reading ^^] •art credit is @1530ry_3. You can find them on twitter! •highest rank #64 undertale <3Complete
