Sans groaned as he blinked his eye open his head throbbing. "Where am I?" Sans asked as he sat up the cold snow of snowden looking around. He seemed to be in the middle of the woods "H-huh? I thought I was home." He said softly confused. But something inside him told him that he really wasn't in snowden, which was strange, since it's the only area that snows. It just... everything looked darker and.... Spookier. Quickly he got up following the path nervously out of the forest looking behind every now and then feeling like he was being followed. A snap echoed around him but when he looked behind him there was no one there. Weezing he spend his feet up glancing around before seeing a shadow pass through the woods in front of him

His breath hitched skidding to a halt not remembering when he started to run. "W-who's there!?" He called out spotting the shadow out of the corner of his eyes. He backing up again to where he guessed was town before bolting, his breath sped up as he saw the world around distort the snow under him becoming more solid and metal sounding and the darkness surrounded the area started to close in on him seeing the black figure closing in. His legs burned looking behind him trying to spot the shadow again. He suddenly crashed into something hard it tossing the air out of his non-existent lungs. He fell backwards crashing to the ground roughly hitting his spine on the concrete ground. Blinking he looked up and felt himself scream trying to back up. His eyes were locked onto the eyes of his brother. PAPYRUS, but he was melted, distorted, looking down at him with no emotion in his eye socket. Sans backed up hitting something behind him. When he looked up it was the shadow from before, his body was a mass of black except for it's white head two scars running from his eyes. "G-gaster? P-papyrus...?" his voice whispered quietly shaking in horror.

Suddenly he felt sick looking down at himself, gasping he saw his fingers were melting his jacket fusing onto his back. "No! No! NO!" His voice became garbled coughing and hacking as his own blood and melted bone filled his mouth. The world around him turn pitch black and all he could hear was his own sobbing echoing off the walls. Suddenly he heard faint voices distracting him from the magic crackling viciously around the area hurting anyone that would get close. At first he didn't recognize them but slowly papyruses and gasters voice filled his skull ringing loudly.

"Sans!" "SANS!" "Sans wake up! Please!" Wake up? Wha- "PLEASE BROTHER-!" He couldn't understand the voices from then on they colliding into each other making his skull feel like it was gonna explode. Squeezing his eyes shut he whimpered shaking hard.

"Sans! SANS WAKE UP!"

His eyes shot open suddenly a scream escaping his throat as he backed up hitting his skull on something. He thrashed feeling arms try to grab him he curling in on himself shaking hard and whimpering. "SANS?! SANS ARE YOU OK?!" P-...papyrus? Blinking sans looking over at the to, papyrus was trying to approach him but gaster wasn't letting him his hands gripping sanses shoulders tightly. "Are you with us?" He asked Sans slowly felt the burning feeling leaving him. He saw his eye had pretty much caught himself on fire. But it didn't hurt him but it felt like it, but he could see the magical burns going up gasters arm that he had been trying to shake sans out of it. Looking around the could see he must of tossed things in his sleep, the lamp that was on his bedside table was shattered against the opposite wall. The book shelf had a pile of books on the floor. the toy box had been crashed into the wall leaving an obvious dent. Gosh... what did he DO?!

"Sans?" oh... right... looking up sans tensed seeing gaster looking down at him. But instead of the anger and hatred that he expected, he looked worried and was shaking gently. Sans felt sick looking up at the black burt bone on gasters arm "Hey... it's ok" Gaster chuckled gently waving away sans but sans reached out checking gasters stats. Gaster gasped but didn't try to stop him papyrus hurring over

Hp: 30/98 Def: 50 At: 47
Lv: *Stadic*

Sans felt sick, He took half of his health, he could of killed him. He could of killed papyrus's DAD.

"DAD! YOU'RE HURT!" Papyrus said worriedly rushing over his hands glowing a bright green "Ah I am quiet ok papyrus, do not worry about me." Gaster waved off papyrus nervously before turning back to sans that looked like he was going to be sick. "M' sorry..." Sans said softly gulping as he removed himself from the battle screen. "It's ok, i've had worse." Gaster tried to laugh but it died softly papyrus healing gasters arms as he knelt down "I'm more worried about what type of dream would almost kill you." He said sans blinking in shock. "H-huh? K-kill me?" Gaster nodded slowly drawing out sanses soul leaving both papyrus and sans in scared shock

Hp: 0.3/1 Def: 1 At: 1
Lv: *Stadic*

Sans looking away feeling nauseous, maybe it was because of his low Hp, maybe it was because of his almost not intended suicide, He didn't know. Coughing he started to shake as the adrenaline faded to burning pain feeling papyrus cup his skull in his free hand powering healing magic into him. It was already doing wonders for the pain. "Thanks..." "Thanks..." They both mumbled at the same time, chuckling when they realized what they did. "OF COURSE! I SWEAR BOTH OF YOU NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL!" He said a little shakily, but pretty good considering he realized his brother had such low Hp AND almost killed himself and his father. Finally when papyrus deemed safe he let them both go of the healing magic.

Gaster was back up to a good 76 while sans was still a little low at a 0.7. "WE'LL! LET'S HAVE SOME BREAKFAST SHALL WE?" Papyrus asked gaster nodding "Yes, I think that would do good for all of us." Gaster hummed gently. Sans tiredly hummed in agreement papyrus rushing out the room with the same vigor as always gaster following behind. Sans stayed on the bed for a few minutes shaking in tiredness of spending so much magic while sleeping but he got up anyhow after some hesitation. He jumped when something fluffy suddenly was at his side amelie looking up at him worriedly. "Heh, oh yeah, hey amelie." He said tiredly petting her head "Im ok, mr. snazzy is ok." He joked gently. Amelie nuzzled into sanses side sans wrapping his arms around her to keep his balance "Thanks" He said voice rough. Amelie helped him down the stars sans just climbing on her back as he hung on already asleep before they hit the last step.

"SANS!!" Sans mumbled tiredly as he felt himself be lifted from amelie's back "YOU CANNOT JUST USE AMELIE AS A HORSE!" He said. Sans hummed hearing gasters soft snickering on the edge of his consciousness. "S' easier and it 'lifts my spirit'." He felt himself stop and being lifted to papyrus face sans cracking an eye socket open. A huge grin cracking on his face when he saw papyruses expression. "Your not even a ghost" He grilled as sans snickered "We don't have 'nobody' either though, give me a break, 'Cracking' 'humorous' puns early in the mornin' is harder than ya think." Sans grinned yelping as papyrus dropped him "I'M DONE WITH THIS FAMILY!" Papyrus screamed storming off gaster catching him with his magic before sans hit the floor sans laughing his heart out at his horrible puns.

Once sans and gaster both calmed down from there laughing sans got off of the floor before stumbling clinging onto amelie as she dodged in front of him to catch him "Are you ok?" Gaster asked worriedly as sans shakily tried to stand as he used amelie's back as support. "Yeah m' ok." He said softly looking up at gaster "How long till e' gets back?" He asked. "Not long, sit down and i'll fix up some breakfast." Gaster said getting up to make something for breakfast as sans scrambled onto one of the nearest chairs.

A long, deafening quiet fell over the two making both of them tense up at the others presence. "So...." Sans sans coughed it fading back to quietness. "Ah....So... what's up with the... nice act?" Sans asked switching to wingdings to keep the conversation hidden. Gaster always spoke in wingdings, but papyrus couldn't understand much of it, he mostly read gasters hands that signed behind him. When sans spoke wingdings however, hands did appear if he wanted them to, but not this time. Gaster, sensing sans didn't want papyrus to over hear made his own 'hands' disappear to only talk in wingdings "This isn't a act sans." Sans scoffed looking off "You don't have to act all nice without papyrus is around." Sans glared at gasters back even if gaster didn't tense at then "I know you want to take me back, fate of monster kind REMEMBER or did you just forget." He hissed pure venom in his voice that made gaster flinch and turn around to look at sans. "You never loved me before and you don't love me now, just drop the act." Sanses eye sockets blackened his hands balled into fist on the table. "I'm not b-" "I'M BACK!" Papyruses loud voice stated seeming a little hesitant. Sans instantly turn to papyrus, hands relaxed and eye lights flickering lazily, looking just like normal. "Hey paps." Sans hummed calmly. Gaster watched sans in stunned silence, not because of the venom, no, he kinda deserved that. It was more about how quickly the skeleton changed from anger to laziness in a flash. It was almost unnerving. "MAY I HELP WITH COOKING?" Papyruses voice snapped gaster out of his shock the weakly smiling "Yes of course" He hummed.

The two started breakfast instantly as sans relaxed petting amelie that had hopped into his lap on the chair, after he blew a fuse at gaster it did get hard to breath afterward but he didn't know why. Amelie helped though get his breathing to even back out, he even felt like crying but he couldn't understand why, gaster didn't deserve his tears. His chest started to feel heavy again after thinking that, maybe it was because he kept thinking about all the things gaster did to him down in the labs, or maybe about how he could go back there any moment if he pushed the wrong button. Or said the wrong th- A wet nose bumping his skull with a small yip broke him out of his musing. He didn't even know he had started to hyperventilate until he snapped out of his fear.

Breathing in then out as he relaxed back closing his eyes. Heh, three panic attacks in less than 10 minutes, he was positive that was a world record. Sighing sans closed his eyes resting his head on the table tiredly almost falling asleep before a plate clinked down in front of him jolting him awake. "ONE AMAZING PLATE OF PANCAKES FROM THE GREAT PAPYRUS." Papyrus laughed happily. The pancakes were burnt at the edges, and you could see a little glitter inside of it but you could tell gaster tried to 'help' him. Sans hummed eating it a lot better than straight garbage or starving. "It's good paps" He smiled as papyrus brightened noticeably. Everything did go back to normal once they all started to eat and chat, but there was a noticeable bubble around sans that's screamed distrust, but gaster and papyrus tried not to pay any attention to it.

After they ate breakfast papyrus waved a goodbye since he had to head to 'ROYAL GUARD TRAINING' as he called it gaster and sans left alone for the time being. "I should go to..." Gaster said eventually looking down at the startled sans "I have things to do and we'll.... Have to find an excuse on why project determination failed." He sighed tiredly looking away. Sans stayed quiet looking down nervously "What if you didn't have to." Sans suggested looking back at him. Gaster looked back at sans confused "What do you mean?" Sans looked down nervously not even sure what he meant himself. "I'm not dead am I? Why don't you just say something like..... ''The creation grew to much of a subconscious or something?" Gaster shook his head with a gulp "It was ah... kinda illegal to create you." He said sans looking at gaster confused "I wasn't allowed to create you." Sans looked at gaster in shock "Dang really? That's probably not smart right?" Sans scoffed rolling his eyes "No one would of found out." Gaster said as sans nervously nodded in agreement. "So what do we do? I can't really just..." he waved his hands around trying to get the words out "walk around, with a plate on my hand with a project that was said to of failed right?" Sans asked as gaster glanced away "That was your plan?" Gaster nodded "More or less yes, You could hide your plate in a glove, and I could just explain the project failed." Sans sighed "That's such a bad excuse with to many plot holes." Sans huffed.

"It's are best shot with me not going to jail and you not getting imprisoned again." He said sans taking a second to process that "What?!" He asked sharply pinpricks shrinking. "If I tell them the truth or even they find out, they'll know what you have done and capture you in the thought that you where a danger to other monsters around." Sans realized what he was talking about looking off "Aint I dangerous anyway?" Sans whispered eyes darkening as he looked at the ground. When no response came sans sank his head lower starting to shake. His eyes landed at amelie that had gotten to his feet she whimpering up to him nervously. Tears started to form in his eyes realizing he shouldn't of ever met papyrus, he was a danger to him and everyone around him. What would happen if he hurt someone, o-or even worse, ki-. Sans flinched as a hand rested on his shoulder he looking up to see gaster above him.

Nervously he gulped looking into gasters eyes. "I can teach you how to control it, in theory, but you will have to come back to the lab for that to happen, just so you don't destroy something, or someone finds out." Gaster said no emotion really clear in his words, nervously sans gave a small short nod soul racing in his chest.

he'll do anything for papyrus...

to keep him safe...
