"Look, I'll be straight forward with you," Sans said, making both Chara and Toriel stop and turn around.

He was still facing the treelind as he spoke, "My brother really would like to see a human... So, it'd really help, Y'know... If you kept pretending to be one."

And he walked off towards where he and the demon had first met.

"Sans?" Toriel asked in confusion, "He knows she isn't what she says she is... But how? He didn't see me die..."
~~~~~~

Toriel felt so guilty as she watched the human approach Papyrus.

She had just watched Chara kill so many people. Not just a few, she had brutally murdered everyone she could find in cold blood, smiling that grin as she did so. Toriel couldn't believe she had even tooken in,a dn raised this child as her own after witnessing this. By now, everyone in Snowdon had fled or had been murdered, leaving onky the two skeletons.

Toriel could tell Sans and Papyrus were close, especially how Sans cared so much for his little brother. After watching them mess around with puzzles for a little bit, she grew to like them even more then she did, and she knew Chara was going to kill the youngest as she approached. Sans was nowhere in sight, but she knew there was something off about him. He definitly knows something is going on, unfortunately, Chara knew as well. She was constantly keeping and eye on him, and him keeping his eye sockets on her. Toriel was glad he was being catious, especially when he threatened the human by the bridge.

Toriel had decided to make it her job to explain to all of the monsters what had happened when they turned into spitit form, so she followed Chara around in order to do that. She also asked them if they knew anyone who could contact the dead, like a medium, but so far, no one knew anyone with that ability.

"No, Papyrus, run away!" Toriel cried out as Chara grew close.

Chara had already grown in her LOVE level, already to the number 8.

"Halt, human!" Papyrus said.

However, she didn't halt, instead took a few more steps while grinning at him.

"I, the great Papyrus, have a few things to say!" He said, "First off, you're a fricken weirdo! Not only do you not like puzzles, but thr way you walk from place to olace, and they way your hands are always covered in dusty powder and ketchup!"

"Please, Papyrus!" Toriel begged him, "Don't fight her! You have a loving brother, don't face her!"

"So?" The demon asked, tilting her head.

"It feels... Like your life is going down a dangerous path," The tall skeleton said, "However, I, the great Papyrus, see potential in you! Nyeh heh heh heh!"

Chara took a few steps forward to try and taunt him, making Toriel gasp fron utter fear.

What MONSTER had she once loved?

"But worry not, for I, the Great Papyrus, will gladly be your friend and tutor! I will turn your life right around!"

A few more steps, and she was closer.

"I see that you are approaching! Are you offering me a hug of acceptance? Wowie, my lessons are already working! I, the great Papyrus, accept you with open arms!"

Toriel could only watch as they faded to black and white, watching as the hand undoubtedly reached straight for the fight button.

Fight*

Slash

HP: 0

"No!" Toriel screamed as Papyrus was hit, his HP plummeting to 0, just as hers had.

Sans' brother stared down at his chest and the human with sadness as his skull fell from where it should have been, landing on one of his red gloves.

"W-Well, that's not what I expected..." He muttered out as his body turned to dust, flowing away in the breeze while his head bounced to the ground.

"Well, you should have," Chara grinned, her red eyes filling with the murderous joy Toriel had spotted too late within her own life.

"But... Still... I believe in you! You can do a little better, even if you think you can't do so. I-I promise!" He said.

Chara smirked as she walked up to his skull, placing a foot firmly between his eye sockets.

"I can, but I won't," She said, snickering as she crushed his skull into dust with her mere foot, his cry of pain echoing throughout the empty town.

Papyrus' spirit glanced around, looking down at his gloved hands.

"That human... Why...?" He asked to himself.

"Because," Toriel said, floating up behind him, "She isn't a human anymore. That is a demon in a humans body."

"Oh, hello!" He said, "Who are you?"

"I am Toriel, I was once caretaker of the ruins," She said, "But, when that child fell down, they killed me, just like they have you."

"Oh..." Papyrus said, looking to the side, "Are we in the afterlife?"

"No, we are mere spirits now, Papyrus," Toriel said, "We can only watch as the monsters, who are still alive, die one by one to her hands."

"How do you know my name?" He asked, his happiness a bit down from being brutally murdered under the foot of a human he trusted.

"I've been following her ever since she has killed me," Toriel explained, looking to the side, "So I know about you, I tried warning you, but you nor Sans could hear me. I wasn't able to save you."

Papyrus looked around in a hurry, "Did Sans-?"

"No," She said, "She hasn't murdered him. You know, he tried to save you."

"He did? How?"

"When you went off, he threatened the girl," Toriel said, "He really cares about you, did you know? He asked it to help make you happy by doing yout puzzles, and he threatened to kill it on multiple occasions. He knew it was a threat and tried to save you, but in the end, neither of us could've."

"I hope Sans doesn't fight her," Papyrus said, "He's only at one HP and one Attack... He's... He's..."

Papyrus trailed off as he hugged himself, trying to stay calm. Toriel drifted over and offered him a hug, in which he gladly accepted.

"Your brother is smart, Papyrus," She said soothingly, "He won't try to take them on. After all, I'm sure Asgore will send his Royal Guard members after that demon. They'll be dead and Sans will be safe."

"Thank you Toriel," He said, pulling away.

However, it was cut short when footsteps could be heard.

"Papyrus?" Sans called out, "Where are you?"

"Oh no," Toriel said.

"Sans..." Papyrus said sadly.

Sans had entered their feild of view, looking around for his brither with his hands in his pockets. He called out his name a few more times before he haulted in his tracks.

He noticed the dust and scarf on the ground.

The two spirits watched as his eye sockets went black as he shuffled towards it, snow poofing upwards as his knees landed in the snow inches away from the red fabric.

"Oh no, Sans..." Papyrus repeated sadly, watching his older brother slowly pick up his scarf.

"P-Papy," He choked out, hugging the scarf close to his chest as tears spilled from his eye sockets, "Why did you face them? I begged you not to, s-so why?"

"I'm so sorry," Papyrus said, reaching out to hug him, only to phase through him like Toriel did before.

"That little demon is going to pay!" Sans cried out, tears spilling from his eye sockets as his left one glowed a bright blue.

"Oh my..." Toriel said, watching Sans with concern.

"B-Brother," Papyrus said, a few tears streaming down his skull.

"I can sense his magic from here," Toriel muttered.

"I just want to be able to hug him again," Papyrus muttered, his hsnd phasing through Sans, "I-I never knew how much I would miss hugging Sans."
