Not Alone Part 2

"Nnnnh...." Sans eyes slowly opened as consciousness returned to him. "Wh...what....ha....appened?" He shook his head and rubbed it with his gloved hand, brushing snow off of it. "Ugh....my head...."

"Sans?! Sans!!!!" He looked up to see Hope looking for him, holding Papyrus close.

"Over...here...." He raised his hand up slowly and tried to stand, only to wince in pain as he looked down at his leg. His leg was trapped under a heavy, broken branch. "Ow...." Hope rushed over and sat Papyrus down, looking at the branch.

"Get....get it...off...." Hope nodded and began to push it. Sans winced and cried out as she slowly pushed the large hunk of wood off and he whimpered when it was finally free. "How...bad?"

"It's broken..." Hope whimpered. She sat him up carefully, leaning him against a rock. She looked at the broken bone, frowning. "I'm sorry...."

"For what?" Hope shifted anxiously where she sat, giving him a pained expression. "You didn't break my leg or anything."

"If...If I had let go-"

"No way. There's no way I was gonna let a girl fall down like that." Sans huffed, crossing his arms. Papyrus crawled over and hugged Sans's arm, shivering fearfully. "Besides.....he would've just knocked me down here anyways..." He mumbled. Hope gave his leg another glance before rolling her sleeves up. "What are you doing?"

"I'm...gonna take the hurt away." She said, taking a few deep breaths. "I can do it...but...."

"But? Wait, you can use healing magic?!" Sans watched as she rung her hands anxiously. "What's the matter?"

"It....it isn't normal....."

"Down here, nothing's 'normal'." Sans shrugged, wincing as Papyrus accidentally bumped his broken leg. "Besides...isn't an ability like that kinda...'handy'?" Hope froze and blinked a few times before giggling. "Gotta 'hand' it to you, you're pretty tough for a human."

"Hee hee s-stop that!" Hope laughed. She smiled brightly for a few moments longer before taking a deep breath. "O-Ok....please just...promise...promise me you won't....make fun of me...ok?" Her voice had grown timid and Sans tilted his head.

Why is she so scared? It's just magic....right? "I uhh....yeah." He said, rubbing the back of his head. "I promise." Hope held her hands out over the break in his leg, closing her eyes. Her hair began to glow a beautiful shade of golden yellow, along with her hands. Sans watched as the break slowly mended itself, as if the bone was growing back at a rapid pace. "W-wow.....I've never seen healing magic like that before." He whispered. The glow finally faded, and he looked at his leg, Papyrus staring and poking it. "Not even a scar....that's amazing Hope!" He looked up, but his smile vanished when he saw Hope looking down at her own leg. "Hope? What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing!" She said, hiding her leg and wincing. "Y-You need....to go before he comes! I-hey, ow!" Sans moved her and looked at her leg. Blood leaked from a large gash on her leg, the bone almost visible and clearly broken.

"I...it's...nothing....honest."

"Nothing? Nothing?! Your leg is bro-" He stopped, looked at his own leg, then back at hers. "...Broken.....but it wasn't a few moments ago....." He looked at her and she whimpered, her eyes staring at the snow. Papyrus waddled over to her and hugged her arm, his big eyes looking at her with worry. "....You said you....could take the hurt away...this is what you meant?!"

"Y...yes....you're not hurt, right?" She asked. "I got it all, right?"

Got it all...yeah, you did alright. But....this isn't right! "Healing magic doesn't do this to the user! What is this?"

"I don't know." She whispered. "I've always been able to do this. It'll heal in a few hours but....but you don't have time for that!" She grabbed Papyrus and handed him to Sans. "Go! What if he comes back? He'll hurt you!"

"He'll hurt you too, stupid!" Sans snapped, taking Papyrus and holding him close. "You can't stay here either!"

"But...you have your brother...." Sans frowned and looked at the smaller skeleton in his arms. "I...don't. So....please...." Sans rolled his eyes and stuffed his brother into his hood, then knelt down. Grabbing at his sleeve, he tore it off and carefully wrapped it around her injured leg. "W-What are-" He helped her stand and slung her arm over his shoulders. "Sans-"

"You fixed my leg....and I know we just met, but you're the only friend I have." He cut her off before she could continue. "Why did you do that anyways?"

"You should always be kind to those you meet!" Hope smiled. "Besides, my Uncle would want me to help....although he'd scold me for doing this." Sans smiled a little as Hope giggled.

She's so weird...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a few hours of endless, silent walking, Sans stopped and leaned Hope against a tree. "You doing ok?"

"I should ask you that, silly bones!" Hope pouted, moving her leg carefully. "It seems mostly better now. I think I can walk on my own..."

"Good." Sans plopped on his back, sighing. "Whew! I'm pooped! You're heavier then you look."

"Hey! You're not supposed to make fun of a girl's weight! At least, my Uncle says that." Hope mumbled, a smile on her face. "So, Sans? Who was that?"

"His name's Flowey....and he's a cruel, horrible little flower." Hope curled up a bit and Sans sat up, brushing snow from his sleeves. "He constantly torments me and Paps...I dunno why though..." Hope moved close and hugged him. "H-Hey!"

"Sorry....but you needed a hug." Hope smiled and moved away. She picked Papyrus up and moved closer to Sans, the three of them huddling for warmth.

"So....what do we do?" Sans took Papyrus and put him in his hood. The smaller skeleton yawned and snuggled in, falling asleep.

"We....we just keep moving and hope he doesn't find us." Sans muttered. The two walked close, Hope taking his hand and squeezing. "What are you doing?"

"I...I'm scared Sans." She whispered, looking around in the darkness. "I don't like the dark...and this is so weird..."

"You kinda get used to it when you've been Underground your whole life." Sans commented. "It isn't that bad but....I wonder what the sky looks like sometimes."

"Oh, I can tell you!" Hope smiled and walked a little further, taking a nearby stick and drawing in the snow. "It has large, puffy white clouds....and a big, pure blue sky! Like the color of my bow!" She explained. She continued her crude snow drawing. "There are trees and-"

"Lemme guess, flowers, right?" Hope shrieked when Flowey popped from out of the ground, his face lit by a bright smile. "Well howdy there kiddos! You managed to survive such a long tumble down!" Hope threw the stick and it hit Flowey in the face. "Ow!"

"S-Sorry!"

"Why are you apologizing to him?!" Sans snapped as Hope moved closer to him.

"Because I hit him and it wasn't nice..."

"He tried to kill us!" Sans countered, scowling. "You don't apologize to that!"

"S-Sorry..."

"Ahem..." Both children turned to Flowey, holding the stick in a vine as he scowled at them. "As adorable as your little couple's quarrel is...it's getting old very quickly....and I hate it when things get old and boring." He grinned as he slowly rose from the ground. "How about a new game, hmm? Ever heard of tag?" Both kids moved closer to one another as he rose higher, the stick being crushed in his grip. "And I'm IT!!!!!" He raised his vines and slammed on the ground as the two children began to run away. Sans dragged Hope behind him when he grabbed her arm. "Aww now don't run like that~! Maybe we should make this freeze tag, hmm?"

"N-No thank you!" Hope called out as they ran.

"Don't turn around and talk to him!" Sans shouted. Flowey grabbed some nearby rubble and began to throw it at the kids. One large piece landed nearby, sending the two kids flying into the air. "Hope! Pa-" Sans was cut off as he hit the ground hard, his world turning black.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope struggled to her knees when she saw Sans hit the ground hard. "Sans!!!!" She rushed over, shaking him. He had several cracks on the side of his head and Papyrus began to sob loudly. "Shh, it's ok Pappy! We'll-"

"I'm coming~...." Flowey cooed in the air. Hope's eyes widened and she put Papyrus on her back. She lifted Sans's arm over her shoulder and dragged him under a fallen tree next to a rock, keeping the three of them hidden in the dark.

"Where are you little shits at?!"

"Shh, quiet down Pappy..." Hope whispered. She moved Sans so his head was resting in her lap. Frowning, she took the bow out of her hair and tied it carefully around the cracks on his head, then pulled him closer. She trembled as she could hear Flowey close by, and she did her best to keep Papyrus silent. Please don't look here....please please please.....

Once the area went silent, she sighed and checked Sans over. "I don't think his HP went down...I've never had to Check before...." She whimpered. "You did good too Pappy..." She smiled and pat his head. He beamed proudly and hugged her arm. She whimpered as more noises sounded around her and she froze as the tree was lifted by a large vine. Her eyes were filled with terror as Flowey's face appeared in front of her. "Ah.....ah...."

"Found you~....." Hope grabbed Papyrus and lifted Sans as best as she could as the tree was thrown off to the side. "Where do you little dust mites think you're going, hmm?"

"L-Leave us alone!" Hope snapped, glaring at Flowey. "What did we do to you?! Why are you hurting them?!"

"Why?" Flowey laughed loudly, the voice echoing around them both. "Because it's fun! Besides, it's not like they're gonna remember....which makes this even more of a treat!"

"You....you...." Hope watched in horror as a vine came down nearby, causing her to tumble away from Sans. She hid Papyrus safely in a small crevice and ran to Sans, covering his body with hers as small, white pellets began to rain down from above. No! I won't let them hurt him! Her hair glowed slightly as a large, red shield formed around the two children.

"Oh ho? Now this is interesting...." Flowey slammed down hard on the shield, watching it crack more and more. Hope cried out when it shattered, coughing harshly. "Hah, never seen that before! Do that again!" Hope ducked and buried her face closer to Sans as it reformed, breaking quicker. Hope let out a gargled cough as the strain on her Soul grew. Flowey continued his onslaught, Hope feeling as if her entire body was being crushed over and over again.

Please....please wake up Sans...please..... She sobbed. Please wake up..... She watched as his eyes slowly opened, looking at her with a dazed expression. "Sans....."

"H...Hope? Wh...what's...happening?"

"Sans, I-" The shield shattered and Hope collapsed on top of him, a soft, glowing red liquid coming from her lips as she heaved for air.

"Aww, is that all you have?" Flowey slapped her off of Sans with a vine, making her cry out in pain as she hit the ground hard with her shoulder. "You're just a weak, pathetic little human! Can't even muster magic for no more than mere moments!" Sans watched helplessly as she was tossed around on the ground, listening to her pained cries. He struggled to get up, feeling woozy from his injury as Hope was lifted by a vine around her neck. She grit her teeth and struggled against the grip, but her fingers couldn't pierce the plant, instead making bloody marks with her breaking nails.

"H...Hope....ngh..." Sans felt another vine wrap around him and he struggled, gritting his teeth. "L-Let us go! Stop it!" He growled, his left eye briefly flashing before dimming back down.

"Heh, still can't use your magic, can ya?" Flowey grinned as he looked at the two, his large face almost like a sinister, dark moon in the bleak cavern. "A pathetic, weak little human girl and a useless little monster who can't fight back.....which of you to crush first?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sans struggled hard in the tight grip around him despite his head injury. No...no! I can't let this happen! He thought. This...this is my problem, not hers! "Let her go!" Flowey turned his gaze to Sans and his Soul froze behind his ribs. "S-She....she..."

"Aww, the little boy worried about his girlfriend?" The flower taunted Sans, his eyes filled with a perverse glee. Sans turned worried eyes to Hope as her fearful, colorful eyes stared back at him. "So, what then? You wanna offer your life for hers, is that it?" Sans felt torn on how to answer.

If I do....I leave Paps all alone....and her too. Monsters would kill her on sight... He thought. But...but if she dies....I lose my only friend...I'd never....I....what do I say?!

"I'm waiting~...."

"S.....Sans...." He turned to see Hope giving him a weak smile. "I...it's...o......ok....."

"No..no it isn't!" Sans snapped. "You're the only friend I've got you moron! Don't go saying things like that!"

"Aww, how touching." Flowey smirked, squeezing them both tighter, making them scream in pain. "Well...guess I'll have to decide then." He lifted them up and down slowly, looking between them. "Eeny....meeny....miney........" He stopped when Hope was highest and he grinned. "...Mo." She turned her gaze to him, panic in her eyes.

"Hope!"

"Sans, I-" A loud, audible snap could be heard as if it was right next to him as her neck suddenly went at an odd angle. His eye lights vanished from his sockets as Flowey dropped her limp body down into the snow.

"H.....Ho....pe?" He trembled as he was tossed slightly in the air, caught by his foot. He was forced to look down, seeing her body laying haphazardly in the snow. "A....ah....h....n...no...."

"Hahahahaha! The looks on your faces are just downright priceless!" Flowey cackled, throwing Sans towards the ground. He crawled over, cradling her as she stared at him with sightless eyes. He closed them, and felt his Soul slowly begin to burn. "Aww, are you crying? Got nothing to say?"

"Y...You...." His shoulders rose and fell with his harsh breathing as his entire body felt like it was on fire. "Let me ask...you something, you demonic weed..."

"Oh? Heh, very well. Go ahead." Sans turned around slowly, his left eye suddenly alight with fire, flashing between yellow and pale blue.

"Do you want to have a really bad time?" He screamed out his anger and pain, feeling power build in his hands. He gestured at the large flower, and before Flowey could react, his entire face had been pierced with bones. The flower crumpled to the ground as Sans breathed heavily. He slumped forward as the world around him faded to white.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sans gasped awake, gripping his chest in fear as he looked around him. I...I.....the woods outside Snowdin? How...how did I get here?! He thought, his mind racing. Flowey.....falling down....and Hope....she....Hope! He turned around to see the young girl curled tightly with Papyrus. "Hope! Hope wake up!"

"Mngh....five more minuets..."

"No, wake up right now!" Hope yawned and stretched a bit. "You...you're alive...."

"Sans, I....I..." Hope reached up and felt her neck, her eyes going wide. "I.....I was..."

"He killed you. I saw it....snapped your neck..." He grabbed Hope and hugged her. "A dream...it had to have been....just one bad dream..."

"Sans...it wasn't." Hope whispered quietly. Sans backed away and looked at her with a worried gaze. "I.....I don't think it was. I mean, we had the same dream and..." Sans watched as she kept rubbing her neck and swallowing hard. "It couldn't have been.....right?" Sans sat cross legged, arms folded in front of his shoulders.

"No...it felt too real." Sans admitted. "But Paps seems unaware so...maybe some kinda weird cross dream or something?" Hope shook her head, still rubbing her neck. "Stop that...it's kinda creepy."

"S-Sorry...." She mumbled, blushing a bit. "But....my Uncle told me something once."

"Hmm?"

"He said those with really strong Determination can alter time......he called it..." She shivered a little and looked at Sans.

"...........A Reset."
