Horror's Day 3

If there was ever a day to be nervous, today was that day. Nightmare, Horror, Killer, Dust, and Error gave you a quick run down on Horror's home universe and rules and things to look out for there. Now you realize why Horror's name is what it is.


"Remember to breathe, sugar." Horror mutters, rubbing your back in a form of comfort. "I'll be there the entire time, and if not you can call Nightmare, Error, and Cross if you need help."


You nod shakily, hugging your Nightmare plush close to your chest. You take a deep breath in and scoot closer to Horror. "'M ready now."


Horror nods and picks you up, carrying you through the rift into the cold, empty forest just outside Snowdin.


Immediately, you can see how this universe was different from Red and Black's. First and foremost, there was blood everywhere, on top of that the very air around you screamed danger and betrayal. The trees seemed more crooked and twisted giving the area a haunting feel, and the shuffling in the forest promised nothing but death.


You latched onto Horror immediately, feeling nervous and in danger. "H-how long is this going to take..?" You mumble, scanning your surroundings constantly. You felt almost as if you father was going to come back from the dead suddenly and attack you.


"Hopefully, only about an hour." Horror says, keeping his eye forward and keeping a strong grip on you. "But, it could last for about five if I'm unlucky."


You nod and allow yourself to be guided through the forest by Horror, jolting when you hear footsteps down the way. Horror on the other hand smiles relieved. "That must be my brother. No one else comes out here."


Sure enough, a taller, and crooked looking skeleton appears further down the road. "SANS! THERE YOU ARE! IS THAT YOUR BOSS'S CHILD? IT IS WONDERFUL TO MEET YOU, (Y/N)!"


You smile softly at the energetic and friendly skeleton. "Hi." You say, giving the taller skeleton a small wave. "Sup, bro. Where's fish face?"


That seems to spark some recognition in the taller skeleton as he stands up straighter and suddenly turns around. "AT THE HOUSE. THE QUEEN INSISTED THAT SHE WAIT THERE FOR YOU AS I GO GET YOU. SHE IS MOST DISPLEASED, ALTHOUGH I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHY. WE GAVE HER THE REQUESTED TAXES, SO ALL SHOULD BE WELL."


"She's just being greedy, bro. Don't worry about it." Horror waves off his brother's concern. "I'll take care of everything, just need ya ta watch the little bit here."


Horror's brother looks down at you, and gives you a bright smile. "AS I SAID BEFORE, IT IS WONDERFUL TO MEET YOU, I AM PAPYRUS SANS' YOUNGER BROTHER AND YOUR GUIDE FOR TODAY!"


You giggle and smile up at him. "Thank you, Papyrus. I hope we can have some fun together!"


Papyrus stops and kneels down and picks you up. "YES! WE SHALL PREPARE A FEAST FOR TONIGHT'S DINNER, AND PLAY BOARDGAMES AND CLEAN UP THE HOUSE!"


You smile and pat Papyrus' face in a show of affection. "Okay!"


----


You glance around the town from atop Papyrus' shoulders. You notice that everyone is staring at you, and it's making you slightly uncomfortable. Horror seems to notice this, and gives the residence of Snowdin a warning glare.


Once they look away, you let out a small, relieved breath. They were glaring at you like you were going to be their next meal. "HERE WE ARE SMALL GUEST! OUR HOME!"


You glance up at the small two story cabin that the two brother's reside in. "Oh. It's nice!" You say, watching Horror unlock and open the door, giving the blue fish woman with red hair a glare.


"You two head upstairs, I got ta talk to Queeny here." Horror says, glancing back at you and Papyrus.


Papyrus waves at the fish woman, surrounded by two guards. "HAVE A GOOD TALK WITH MY BROTHER, YOUR HIGHNESS!"


You give the angry looking woman a small, nervous smile as Papyrus walks off to his room upstairs. All you receive in return is a glare.


Once you reach Papyrus' room, you let out a small, relieved sigh. "Is she always that scary?" You mumble.


"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SMALL HUMAN?"


"It's just that... She was glaring at me like someone I used to know..."


"I... I Don't Believe That She Will Hurt You. She Knows Of What My Brother Does And Knows That If He Is Protecting You, That It Is For Good Reason." Papyrus explains as gently as he could, sensing the sensitive topic brought up.


You smile softly at Papyrus and nod. "Okay. Thank you Papyrus."


"NEYA HEH HEH! OF COURSE! NOW, SHALL WE PLAY THAT GAME I PROMISED?"

"What are you doing here, Undyne."


The woman smirks darkly, glaring at Horror. "Now, now Sans. You know better then to speak to me so casually. I am your Queen now, after all."


Horror scoffs and frowns as his eye sockets narrow. "Answer the question, your highness."


Undyne growls at the miking tone glaring right back at Horror. "Watch your tone."


Horror stays silent, only crossing his arms awaiting the warrior queen's response.


"... I will need double the amount of food from your section from now on."


Horror stares at Undyne in shock, before a low growl escapes him. "...what?!"


"You heard me."


"We have been giving you over half of what we manage to scavenge here, barely managing to keep ourselves from starving to death, and yet you still have the gaull to ask for more?! We literally cannot give you anything more!" Horror hisses, shaking with rage.


Undyne scoffs and stands up, leaning down to look Horror in the eye. "You can, and you will. Else, I'll have to send my two friends here to go ruff up, and maybe even kill the two little kiddies upstairs."


Horror pauses, then laughs. He laughs long and hard before composing himself and staring down the tyrant queen with a smirk.


"You wouldn't dare."


Undyne raises an eyebrow, before shrugging and waving her hand, signaling for the guards to go after the human and taller skeleton upstairs.


Horror's hand twitches towards his ax, but before his fingertips can even brush up against the handle, Undyne lunges forward and tackles Horror to the ground, pinning him.


"You're gonna regret that, your majesty."


_____________


You giggle as you once again move another one of your pieces into the finish row. "Yay! I got another one in!" You exclaim, your eyes excitedly looking over the "Sorry" board.


"YOU ARE QUITE GOOD AT THIS GAME, YOUNG (Y/N)! BUT I SHALL NOT LET YOU DEFEAT ME, BECAUSE I AME THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" Papyrus shouts, before laughing happily.


"Yeah! Nyeh heh heh heh!" You mimic.


Suddenly, the door to Papyrus' room slams open and the two guards that were with Undyne come marching in aggressively.


Fear pumps through your system as you let out a terrified shriek. You clutch onto the stuffed version of Nightmare, and fumble for the pen your Papa gave you right after you woke up.


Clutching onto the silver pen, you slam it into the ground and a black, inky, tar-like substance bursts from the pen.


"PAPA!! MAMA GLITCH!! HELP!!" You screech, clinging onto the stuffed toy for your life.


In an instant, Error appears in a burst of glitches and Nightmare steps out of the inky puddle. Papyrus rushes over to your side and pulls you into a hug to comfort you, and shield you from the battle and almost certain bloodshed to come.


You clutch onto Papyrus' battle body as you repeat the phrase 'Papa and Mama are here.' over and over again.


-----


Nightmare was not happy.


He doesn't think he's been this angry since he learn that his brother brought you back to that sorry excuse of a father.


He knew Error wasn't much better. The pure rage, and hate coming off of him was so thick and so much that Nightmare could practically touch it. Nightmare almost thought that Papyrus could feel it too, because he went to shield you from the upcoming bloodbath.


"Hello."


___________


Undyne pauses in her atempt to impale Horror with her spear as shrieks of fear pierce the air.


Those screams, they weren't from Papyrus or a young human. They were her guards.


Horror's chuckle snapped her attention back to her previous victim. "What. Did. You. Do."


"The Boss just came to save his kid. ...And from the sounds of it, Error too."


"Who the hell are they?!"


Horror smirks as he keeps his eyes on something behind her. "The god of destruction and the god of nightmares, and negativity."


And suddenly an sharp pain erupts from Undyne's side, and blood comes up from her throat.


Horror stares in shock as Undyne collapses next to him, keeping his eyes on the preparator.


"Don't hurt my Uncle."
