Chapter Text
Snowdin was dark, which made sense beacuse it was night, or at least what you would class as night.
The underground never got any natural light so there wasn't really any way to tell weather it was night or not, the monster of the underground just assumed what time and would go to sleep.
Its was the one time of the day where everything would get darker beacuse of lights being swich off in houses and shops.
You would imagine it eire, but no there was and odd peace of being in a sleeping town.
Despite the time one shop was open ... its warm orange lights glistening off the snow and the melody like hum of voices hushed inside.
The bar glowed warm amoug the cold dark sleepy town, almost as if you could touch the brickwork and feel the warmth.
Out the back a small figure huddled covered in a large coat and odd fabrics ,its face hidden under its hood.
It was shaking slightly and rocked gentally back and forth.
Its seamed to be clinging to something,
cradling something.
Suddenly the back door open ,rushing out light and unmuffling the chatter of voices.
The small figure shifted still and shrank under the coat.
In the door way stood a flame monster.
He looked young and had glasses over his what you would have guessed eyes.
He was wearing a shirt and bow tie with a gray hoodie over the top, almost as if he put in half amount of effort and gave up.
In his hands he was holding two plats of ash which presumably must have been food.
He spoke in what would have mistoke for a voice .It was more like hisses and crackles of flames with a slight whisper of an voice.
But besides the strangeness of this you could still make out the announced of a child in his voice.
"I don't get why he got so mad" the flame monster exclaimed tipping the two plates of ash into the bins besides him.
"It was only two burgers .. and besides it was be-..."
He rub the bridge of his 'nose' and let out a sigh.
"I'm talking to myself again ... aghhh"
Turning around he headed into the warm again.
But the a small shift court his eye.
"Hello?"
The flame monster stepped out , this time further then before.
He left the door open, letting the light eliminate the area where the movement had come from.
"Urr... is anyone there?"
The small figer let out a breath the he was holding.
"Hey" the flame monster aproached the small bundle of fabric.
"Are you ok?"
Before he could reach down ,the small creature stubbled as he stood. Shattering across the snow.
Until suddenly he fell face first, refusing to use his hands to catch his fall.
"Hey wait-"
A small whimper escaped the buddle followed by a cry of a baby.
The figure sat up and hugged the martial infount of him.
He wasnt the one crying.
In the bundles arm wrapped up in red cloth was a small shivers creature.
Tears rolled down its face as it cried.
"Sssh shhh ... im s-sorry papy .... i didnt mean to 'urt you" the bundle sniff rocking the small creature in its arms.
"P-please dont start crying again"
He sounded very young ... stumbling over his words.
"I'm sorry didn't mean to scare you"The flame monster said ,taking a brisk step forward.
The little bundle darted around desperately looking up to the flame monster.
Although his hood shadowed his face ,you could see his small face under it.
He was a skeleton monster.
His big glowing eyelights stared up at the flame monster. Tears brimming the edges.
"No y-your not scary .... i fell on papy"
He said with a childish tone.
"Um... you can come into the warm ... if you like..." the flame monster shrugged.
"No you'll take 'im away"
"W-what-" before the flame monster finshed what he said the small bundle darted into the woods, despairing into the darkness.
The flame monster just stood with one of his arms still out stretched slightly.
"Who and what just happen?"
