Duska

It's been a whole month with the... swapped skeleton brothers. After I got over my cold Sans 'introduced' me to Alphys that ended with an axe inches from my face. It worked out eventually with a cooking lesson that turned out with her house being on fire. Papyrus and Sans wanted to take me out with them on their patrol and I quickly agreed, it's lonely at their house alone. 

"UM... HUMAN? DO YOU... WANT TO GO BACK TO THE SURFACE..?"

I sigh and look at the blueberry, he's looking down at the snow as he plays around with his hands. I put my hand onto his skull and pet him a bit, it's a bit awkward as the top of his head sits just above my shoulder. 

"It's... more difficult then that for me. So I don't think i'll be leaving for a while."

He looks up at me and I smile at him, then fall over from his tackle hug. I laugh and hug him back as his head sits on my shoulder.

"YAY! IT'S FUN HAVING YOU AROUND!"

"Y-Yeah..."

I look over at Papyrus to see him smiling sadly at me, I return it and help Sans up before jumping up myself.

"come on bro, i wanna finish this quickly."

"YOUR JUST GOING TO GO TO SLEEP AS SOON AS WE GET HOME!!"

"exactly."

I giggle as Sans groans and we go back to the patrol, I did patrol's with Papyrus a few times when we were in the Underground so i'm used to the long walks. Flowey's asleep in Papyrus' arm as he feels uncomfortable when i'm not around, he doesn't say it but it's visible to everyone else. I suddenly shiver but with the clothes i'm wearing, including my Sans' jacket, I shouldn't be cold. I rub my arms to try and make it go away but it doesn't work.

"cold kid..?"

"Just sh-shivering for s-some rea-"

My eyes widen in recognition, I grab the two skeletons hands before running back towards their house.

"woah! what's wrong!?"

"HUMAN!?"

"Just run!!"

The sound of tearing paper comes from behind us and I try running faster but my left hand gets weighed down suddenly which makes me stumble.

"OOF!! PAP!!"

The two of us turn just as Sans' hand is yanked from my own, he's being dragged across the snow by a black mist coming from the tear. As he's being dragged a more solid, thin black substance stabs into him which makes Papyrus yell his name and runs towards him.

"sans!! no!!"

The needle yanks out of the small skeleton and his head falls into the snow, no longer moving. Papyrus reaches him and is able to grab his hand before the black mist can drag him further, I teleport behind him and grab Sans' other hand. The mist climbs over and around him as it pulls him back.

"don't take him!!"

"Just pull him!!"

Vines wrap around Sans' body and I spot Flowey off to the side with a strained face, the vines are trying to pull him back but the mist seems to be winning. A sharp pain comes from my back and I gasp, my grip weakening but I try to stay awake.

"n-no..!"

Papyrus sounds tired, turning my head I see a black needle digging into where a humans abdomen would be with a sad look on his skull.

"s-sans..."

It is pulled from him and he releases Sans' hand as he falls to the ground. Flowey grunts as he's now basically the only one keeping Sans from entering but the mist is inching him closer to the tear.

"Y-You'll b-be fine..."

The needle is pulled from my back and my subconscious fades as I hear Flowey yell out my name. The tearing sound returns and brings me despair as I fall asleep.

"why the hell would someone take him!?"

"How would I know!? It took Duska from her Universe so why not the short-stack!?"

"because he's never done anything wrong!!"

"Neither has she but look what happened!!"

I try to sit up but my body still feels tired and heavy, so all I can do is lie here and listen to Papyrus and Flowey argue. It's nice to know that Flowey is somewhat standing up for me but I know he would never admit it.

"how do i get him back!?"

"Again with the stupid questions!! I! Don't! Know! Duska and I would be home by now if I did!!"

The sound of a Gaster Blaster scares my body awake and I shoot up from my spot, I had been sit up against a tree and now i'm looking at a mad Papyrus shooting Blasters at Flowey.

"Stop you idiot!!"

"tell me how!!"

I groan as I stand and immedietly run for Papyrus, tackling him before a Blaster could directly hit Flowey. I pin him down with my arms and he furiously tries to push me off. I bury my hands into the snow and his hands try to push me by the shoulders, but i'm monsterly strong. Being a hybrid can be useful sometimes.

"i need to get to sans!!"

"He'll be fine!! I'll tell you something as soon as you calm the hell down!!"

He tries pushing me away a few more times before crossing his arms and turning his head away, I can feel his soul beginning to calm down and after another minute I jump off and sit in the snow.

"I... I think your brother will be fine... If I was taken from my Universe with a tear I think that one sent him back to said Universe. He should be with my Sans and Papyrus and they'll look after hi-"

"how do you know..!? he could be anywhere!! he could be in the worst universe possible!!"

"That tear looked exactly like the one I was pulled into. Sure there were... tentacle's and not mist... but it seems to be able to shift as it likes. You just... have to believe that he's safe in my Universe, up on the Surface."

Papyrus' eyes widen at me mentioning that we're on the Surface in my Universe but after a moment he sighs and pulls a cigarette out of his pocket. I would usually argue against him smoking but now is not a good time to piss him off, smoking will help calm him down. I sigh and see Flowey back in his pot, he must of climbed in himself, and he's fast asleep. He must've worn himself out.

"he had better be safe..."
