Chapter Text
The monster let out several more horrible screams which began to contort into loud snarls. He stood before the others, now a full hound, glowing orange eyes skimmed over the three skeletons.
They stood still, it felt as if the time stopped, and no one breathed as they stared back into the monster's eyes. There was a long silence before Papyrus took a slow step back, both short skeletons pressed to his sides. He didn't break eye contact with the monster as the wood behind him creaked with the contact from his foot. The monster suddenly reared up and growled, that was all the warning Papyrus needed to bolt.
He flung open the door and ran, following after him the monster smashed through the entire doorway, leaving a gaping hole in front of the house. Papyrus while still running, grappled Blue harder and brought him to Papyrus's neck, allowing him to sit there. He shifted Fell in his arms and held him to the side before quickening his speed.
The falling snow hit against him in little drops as he ran, but he paid no attention. The snow shifted with every step along with the patches of ice, which he had to watch out for. One little slip and it could be over. The monster was in hot pursuit of them, Papyrus went as fast as he could go through the snow and biting cold. He rounded a corner and ran further, Fell nervously played with his fingers as he loosely hung next to Papyrus's side. The monster was close behind them and gaining, snow being flung into the air behind it. It's jaws were open and in want of something to close them around as it chased behind the other skeletons.
A soft hum of magic erupted in his throat and gradually grew louder as a light began to shine through. Papyrus immediately knew what it was. "SANS TELEPORT US, NOW" Fell took in the words and nodded before trying to gather as quickly as he could. He grabbed the back of Blues bandana and Papyrus's arm before there was a flash of cold on them, worse than the snow. Colors and darkness flashed over their eyes until they landed on something solid with a thump.
They landed someplace else, Papyrus looked around while trying to fight back nausea from teleporting. They were surrounded by tall pine trees, coated in white snow that looked as if they had been painted on. They were somewhere in the forest, the sound of the monster's blast going off was heard in the distance, apparently they moved just in time. Papyrus placed Fell on the floor as he caught his breath. Fell looked up to Papyrus and Blue with uncertainty.
"So do we have a plan, or are we fucking around until he kills us?" Papyrus snarled at him and waved a hand in his face. "Give me a damn second to figure something out." It was silent for a moment until they heard a deep rustling slowly inching its way closer to them. Fell froze before slowly looking behind him, where the monster was slowly coming into view once again. Papyrus materialized a glowing bone and held it at his side as the monster steadily approached. Blue climbed off the back of Papyrus and jumped up in front of him.
"N-no Papy don't hurt him! Papyrus's gaze never left the monster, which he could hear snarling. "Sans I don't want you getting hurt, move over" the taller skeleton pushed Blue to the side, who grabbed his arm. "Papy he doesn't mean to, please don't hurt him!" Papyrus lowered his weapon after staring into Blue's big eyes. He looked to Fell and then shared a worried look before Papyrus sighed. "I'll hold him back until he turns back, just stay behind me."
Blue quickly nodded as both him and Fell retreated behind the bone-wielding skeleton. He concentrated and watched as the monster continued to approach, a dark glow to its eye. Papyrus held off his attack until the monster was no less than fifteen feet away. He shot up several huge bones from the ground in front of the monster, it skidded back trying to stop itself. It failed and smashed its snout into the wall, and fell back.
The monster got up and angrily growled as it clawed at its sore snout. It rammed into the wall of bones with its side and broke some of them before winding up to ram again. Papyrus grunted as his wall taking a beating from the monster. Blue nervously clung to Papyrus's leg, watching the monster run up again to the wall and break more of the bones. It tried again and again as Papyrus quickly tried to repair it, but the destruction was too great. It roared out and broke the last of the bones before breaking through it completely. It stifled through the broken bones and broke into a run once again, approaching the skeletons as fifteen feet turned into ten and it got closer, closer, closer.
Fell looked up in fear and awe, muttering but two words to himself
"Oh Shit"
