(Dreemur family x reader. not romance)

(y/n) was a human child that the Dreemur family adopted. She was quite conflicted with herself. Her old life was full of pain that she never shared with her new family and friends. One day she opened up at a little dinner party they all had together.

"If I could have everyone's attention please, I have something that I need to get off my chest" She said meekly.

"Of course my child, what is on your mind?" Tori asked.

"I want to share the things that happened before I fell. You need to know why I came here and why I don't want to return"

"Kiddo, that's not necessary-"

"Yes it is Sans, I've held back the truth long enough. If I am to truly be part of this family, I need to come clean about everything"

"Then by all means child, tell us what we need to know" Asgore said placing his large hand on her shoulder.

(flashback)

I tried to ignore the hurt inside

and bit by bit part of me dies

the smile on my face, is just a lie

a lie, a lie, I just can't hide

Young (y/n) sat in the middle of her living room floor crying. Her mother had beaten her for some unknown reason and called her a useless child.

a blade of a knife, that cuts so deep

the pain, the pain, I don't dare speak

I can't let you know, the way I feel

the secret I will keep

She couldn't complain about the pain or it only became worse. knives that were freshly polished and sharpened, ran themselves across the bruised skin.

I don't need your sympathy

your vicious lies, they're killing me

and you don't even understand

the things I feel of who I am

The girl loathed sympathy and pity, they were only lies in her eyes. No one could ever understand.

tried so hard to bring you joy

my heart is cold, the flames have died

I hide behind the lie that has become

the new me

She did everything her mother wanted, yet it still was not enough.

I toss and I turn

I just can't sleep

your gone so long

that's fine with me

I won't turn around my mind is clear

but the wounds that you leave

never heal

(y/n's) father left a year ago. He would write letters wanting forgiveness, but he hurt his baby girl too much to be forgiven. Her mother was devastated and that's when things turned for worse.

now I know you'll never change

you've got that same look on your face

and things will never be the same

it's over now and you're to blame

(Y/n's) mother constantly blamed her for her father leaving. Mother was always drinking and screaming.

twist the knife, I feel the pain
you hurt me, but I won't complain

but like a fool, I'm smiling through the tears

a fool for you 

She had been hurt more time than could be counted, yet she kept smiling through the pain.

She left home and headed up the mountain.

a trick of the light, where am I

time fades away like yesterday

She layed in the flower patch looking up at the hole she fell down.

I don't need your sympathy

your vicious lies are killing me

and things will never be the same

it's over now and I'm to blame

She thought the monsters were only nice to her out of pity, but it was soon proven to be untrue.

can you do one last thing for me?

put me out of my misery

I hide behind the lie the has become

the new me

the real me

She who once craved death, now resides happily in her new home.

(flashback over)

"Oh my dear child! How awful" Tori gasped.

"Don't worry sis, we'll never treat you like they did. We love you" Asriel said hugging his adopted sister.

"The 'kids' right kiddo, your safe here" Sans said cracking a pun.

One by one they all gave words of encouragement to the young female.

This filled her with determination.
