All my life ever seemed to be was hunting. Hunting with Nightmare to stay alive. Hunting in the Underground to feed my brother. Everyone believed that I was just a dirty monster Killer. That I hunted because I was obsessed with hearing the cries, feeling them break under my power. And I was starting to believe it too. Then.. I met her. Lillian. Of course we met on less then friendly means. I was going to kill her to feed Papyrus. Instead of being afraid though, she accepted her death staring me down with beautiful silvery blue eyes. In the end I couldn't do it. My ax slammed into the bark above her head and I disappeared, bewildered that I didn't do it.

When I saw her again, she was thin and frail. Obviously starving. Obviously freezing. I should just end her. Put her out of her misery. I didn't. I took off my jacket and wrapped it around her small body. Why was I acting like this? Why couldn't I kill her. I lifted her up and she complained quietly, incoherently. She was tired. I took her to my room and piled my blankets on her. I went down to the kitchen. "where is it. where is it.." I found it. A can of fruit, probably expired. The last normal food in the house, yet Papyrus refused to eat it, saying that I should have it. I'd refused to. Since neither of us were going to eat it, I supposed the human would be better off with it. I grabbed a spoon and went back to my room. I stared at her. She was asleep. I sighed. "kill her.." She was weak. Vulnerable. I could wrap my hands around her neck and snap it like a twig. Instead I put the food and spoon down on my nightstand and went to the corner of the room to keep watch.

I heard her stir. I didn't move. I was taking a bit of a nap myself, so it didn't really register. I heard the can being pried open. I heard her attempt to eat slow. She was failing. It went silent. I heard her moving, coming closer. I felt her tenderly touch my arm. Yet I still slept. She curiously bent my phalanges. My elbow. Lift my shirt to see what the weird glow was. It was when she went to touch my soul that I snapped to awareness. I grabbed her arm, gentle yet firm. My eye bore into hers. Surprise, yet no fear. "don't." I warned with a growl. "You.. aren't as bad as they say."
"no. i'm worse."
"Then why haven't you killed me? Why did you feed me? Warm me up?" I chuckled. "merely fattening you up for my bro. He likes his meals fresh. warm." I walked to the door. "stay little lamb." I closed it behind me.

It's been nearly four months now. She was still in my room. I've taken to stealing from other aus to feed her. Its not like they'll be needing it anymore. Their dead. "Horror."
"hm."
"Thank you for this, even if I'm 'just a lamb'." Right.. a lamb. 'My lamb- no! She's food, you can't love her. That's just torture. She's just going to die in the end anyway..' "hm."

Six months. I saw this monster I had to kill wearing a white gold ring with a shiny diamond in it. I had to take it. It reminded me to much of Lillian. I got home and to my room. I placed the food down with a spoon and the ring and went to my corner. She was in the shower. I could hear the water running. Funny that Papyrus never noticed. Or maybe he did and hasn't said anything. I suppose either way worked. I tried not to. I really did, but I love her. I can't kill her. I was lying to myself, saying I could, but I can't. I care to much. I want to protect her from my horrible world. From Nightmare, the guys. From the monster that I was. I looked at my hands. All I could see was the blood spilled. "Horror?" I was dangerous. "Horror!" Just another killer, undeserving of someone like her. "Snap out of it!" She was to pure, to perfect for me. "Damn it Horror!" She pulled my skull towards her, her lips connected with my teeth. I growled, and kissed back on instinct, pulling her closer to me. She broke it first. "I love you.."
"i don't deserve you."
"But you love me too." I nodded hesitantly. "i'll just hurt you in the end.."
"No. Your not what everyone thinks. Your better then that. I believe it, it's time you did. You do what you do because you have to." I nuzzled into her.

"What's this?" Lillian looked at the ring. "It's beautiful.."
"it.. reminded me of you." I replied. "It's.. it's for me?" I nodded. "yes." She walked over and kissed me. "Thank you.." I hummed happily. "Wanna be husband and wife?"
"husband and wife..? don't we need a ceremony and all that?" I asked curiously. I couldn't allow her near Undyne. "The way your world is? No. You can simply be my husband and I can simply be your wife." I made a show of pondering the question before nodding. "ok.. wifey." I pulled her in for another kiss. "i love you.."
"I love you too."
