Chapter 2: Goat Mom
"Uh.... Yeah." I said as the woman helped me up. The first thing I noticed was that she was a goat. A goat that can shoot fireballs and can talk. This world gets weirder and weirder,what's next? A skeleton that makes puns and drinks ketchup!?
"Let's get you cleaned up." She said as she held my hand and we started to walk away from my near death experience. Soon,we entered ruins that lead to a house. She opened the door and we walked in,I closed the door behind me,as I learned from a butler when I was in Valla. When I caught up to her,she was running some water in the tub.
"Oh! There you are my child." She said,looking a bit relieved from my presence. "Let's get you out of those rags." I looked down to see that my clothes were a bit dirty,but nothing too bad.
"They look clean to me." I replied,obviously confused.
"Nonsense! They're dirty and need to washed!" She said as she started to take off my jacket.
"I can take off my own clothes." I said as I grabbed something out of the pocket and put it on the counter without her noticing.
"Ok then... Let me know when your done so I can dry you off." She left after that,and I changed out of my clothes. When I was out of them,I put them outside the bathroom door,aside from my jacket which Goat Mom took to get the bloodstains out from my previous fights. Before I finally got in the water,I quick took a look at what I took out of the pocket. It was a locket that one of the butlers from Valla gave me before Anankos killed him for trying to escape. I opened it up to reveal 2 pictures,both from when I was young. One was of my parents and me,a couple days before I met Ariel. They were always concerned about where I went,but as soon as I told them about Ariel,they were finally understood. I still miss them despite them being gone for 7 years.
The other picture was of me and Ariel,a month after our first year of being friends. We were holding a giant flower wreath. Lady Mikoto was surprised we even got it in the house. That day I made myself a promise that I broke,if Ariel was still unmarried when the war was over,I would marry her. I never knew she was a princess,and I would be turned into a Faceless and killed. I hope Kaze is keeping her safe right now,protecting her and treating her how I would. Then,I decided to put the locker back onto the counter and get in the tub. The water was still surprisingly warm despite me looking at the locket for a while. I decided to relax a bit and play with the bubbles,which made me feel like a little kid again. After a but of that,I got washed up and got out to put a towel around my body so she wouldn't see, you know..... As I opened the door to let her know,I smelled cookies. It intrigued me so I went to the kitchen where there was a plate of star shaped cookies and a cinnamon pie on the counter.
"Maybe one wouldn't hurt...." I told myself as I grabbed a cookie. As soon as I had the cookie off the counter I heard Goat Mom come back,catching me in the act.
"Get back in the bathroom,your making a puddle on the floor!" She said as I got back in the bathroom,cookie in mouth. I finished to cookie before she got in the bathroom,making it look like I didn't take a cookie. She probably saw me take it anyways. When she got in the bathroom,she put a pair of pajama bottoms on the counter,most likely for me.
"I'm sorry I made a mess in the kitchen." I said.
"It's alright my child. What is your name?"
"Anthony." I replied back,questioning why she didn't ask for my name earlier,
"I am Toriel."
"Nice to meet you."
As we continued the small talk,she dried my hair while I dried my body. She left to quick make dinner while I put on my underwear and the pajama bottoms. I grabbed my locket and put it around my neck,as the pants didn't have pockets. When I got into the kitchen again,there was a plate of spaghetti and some garlic bread.
"Enjoy my child." She said as I got into the chair to eat.
"Thanks!" I said,enjoying the food.
"Your welcome." Toriel replied as she smiled and grabbed a glass of milk and handed it to me. I smiled and continued to eat.
Soon,I was starting to fall asleep when I felt Toriel's hand on my shoulder.
"Are you feeling tired little one?" She asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Let's get you to bed then."
She lead me to a bedroom,where I got under the soft purple and blue covers.
"Would you like me to read you a story?" She asked me as I got comfortable.
"Yes please."
As she was reading the book,I was drifting off to sleep,finally finding a comfortable place in this weird world....
