Chapter 8: He's Not Enjoying This
Flowey
I hate the snow!! It makes the dirt really hard to dig through!! But... if I want to get back to Frisk and Chara then I have to find Duska... Where the hell is she!? I've been searching for two weeks now!! Everywhere except the high security home of the bone bags, which she probably is. I groan and tunnel through the ground, forcing the frozen dirt out of my way. I pop up from the ground right under the kitchen window of their house, I doubt that they'll see me over here.
"HURRY UP PAPYRUS!! YOU LAZY PIECE OF SHIT!!"
"sorry my lord, i am coming."
I poke my head around the corner to see the two brothers walking off into town, probably further towards the Ruins door. I feel my face turn into a smirk and return back to the window, it's pretty high above me but I have my ways. Vines shoot out from the ground and wrap around the ridges of the window's frame before gently pulling me up to the window to see in. Duska's got her back to me, wearing black shorts and a gray short-sleeve. Where's that smiley trashbag's jacket? I swear she had it before we went through the rip. I tap on the glass hard with a leaf which seems to make enough noise to grab her attention, her head swivels around with her face brightening as soon as we make eye contact. Although her left eye was slightly swollen, a black mark surrounding it with a cut beneath her right. I stare as she runs over and opens the window, making sure she doesn't make me fall to the ground.
"Flowey!!"
"You've been HERE for the last two weeks!? You should be far away from here by now!! Look at you!!"
"I can't!"
She points to the collar around her neck that looks all technical, probably made by this universe's Undyne or something.
"I can't pass through the doors or windows and it seems to block off my magic."
"Okay... so where's the smoker..?"
"In the shed... h-he... they've been starving him. He c-could be dust by now!"
She's starting to get cracks in her voice, she sounds like she's going to cry. Oh god why did Frisk make me go with her!?
"Alright alright! I'll check up on him! Just... don't start crying!"
She nods but suddenly runs off before returning holding a large piece of blue clothi- Oh it's his jacket. She doesn't want me to wear it does she!?
"C-Can... you bring this to him..? I-It's not safe here... they keep beating m-me up and I don't want it a-any more damaged..."
I sigh but nod, as long as she doesn't cry or anything then i'll do it. Her smile returns and she goes to pass it to me but stops before exiting the window. Oh, the collar thingy. My vines grab it for her and wrap it up tightly, if I put it on i'd probably die from too much contact with trash.
"Thank you Flowey."
"Yeah yeah... If the smoker's in there i'll... find him some food too..."
Again she nods and my vines slowly lower me back to the dirt, I hate the smelly trashbag but the hybrid's never been mean to me nor Frisk and Chara. I sigh and travel to the shed, using my vines to unhinge a piece of wood so that I can come through. The room is too dark for me to see in and I would yell if there weren't monsters outside.
"i... got a... visitor... huh..?"
My eyes adjust to the weak, vulnerable pile of bones in the corner of the room, I feel like I could turn him to dust by just touching him.
"Well... your alive then. I guess i'll be back with some foo-"
"the kid... safe..?"
I sigh and nod, about to go get some leftovers from Muffet's or something but the heavy weight on my vines make me stop. I drape it over him and I see a faint smile, god i'm getting mushy. I leave before he says anything else and appear behind the fast food place, it's gross back here! The soil's polluted all to hell!
"Gah!! Clean up a bit you eight-legged slob!!"
I groan and start searching the back, maybe there's some edible food in here that could make the smoker strong enough to escape and let us leave. I eventually find a bag with a non-eaten burger and fries, they seem fine so I take a bite of a fry and find it good enough not to kill the calcium pile. I search a bit longer until I hear the jingle of a bell so I hide behind the trashbin, holding the bag of food with my mouth. The spider girl walks out with the angry Papyrus from this Universe, a smoke in his mouth.
"you need to pay up muffet."
"I've told you again and again Papyrus, your 'Lord' owes me money!! So i'm not paying anythi- GAH!!"
The skeletons hand wraps around the spider's throat and I see it tighten ever so slowly.
"you will pay, or i will kill you and get the money myself. your easy to replace as i'm sure there are plenty of monsters out of jobs."
She nods and drops into the snow, coughing to gain back air. He kicks her in the stomach before leaving the alleyway, a few minutes later so does Muffet. I sigh and check where they were standing, a small candy bar is slightly squished where she was laying. I smile and throw it in the bag before returning to the shed, the skeleton was asleep as he held onto the jacket tightly.
"Hey!! ... HEY!!"
I whisper-yell at him but he doesn't shake, lazy bastard. I throw the bag into his lap which makes his eyes fly open, I think he would have jumped too but he seems completely out of energy.
"you... forgot the... honey..."
"Just eat the damn food!! I think the skeletons are inside with Duska, she looked a little beat up too."
"y... you said-"
"I nodded! She's alive and not dying, that should be good enough to satisfy you! Now eat already!"
He glares at me with anger but slowly starts to eat, getting faster after taking the first bite of the burger. I wait as he eats by playing around with my leaves, it's hard to entertain myself with no thumbs or fingers.
"heh, thanks."
I look up to see him with a lot more energy then before, although when he tries to stand his hands and neck are held down by chains. I sigh and move my vines towards the locks, moving them around the metal contraptions until they all fall off him at once.
"your pretty good at this."
"At what!?"
"saving others."
I let out another sigh, I guess I am changing. At least I don't have to relive the same things over and over again anymore, it was slowly killing me. These events are new, all I want is to see the end of it and go home.
