Blade (Short Story)

Goodbyes

Blade twirled a knife in her hand while Dust and Killer watched her closely. "c'mon guys. it's a simple question. why do you kill?" Dust crossed his arms. "that 'simple question' is just going to lead to many 'not so simple' questions and even more 'not so simple' answers." She dismissed his concerns. "it's not like we are staying anyway. all we want is answers then we are gone. well, actually hunter just wants time with horror, but still." Killer blinked. "others? there are others?" She knew he was trying to change the subject. "you'll see later. answers." Both skeletons sighed, sad that their evasion tactic failed. "we kill  because of the brats of our worlds. they forced us into postions we didn't really wanna take and pretty much went crazy with lv." Dust finally answered. Blade nodded, satisfied. "and i assume this is why you chose murder over me. you weren't in the 'right state of mind' to raise a child." They both nodded, impressed with her guess. "ok... why classic and red? why leave me in snowdin forest?" Killer flushed a little. "uh... the original plan was to kill you, but we couldn't. classic's au is off limits to everybody since it's the original... so we chose a location where we wouldn't be spotted dropping you off."
"i guess it's our own way of 'protecting' you. as your parents." Dust finished.

🔪🔪🔪

Blade rolled her eyelight. "right. ok, guess i can go with that. well that's all my questions." Blade pushed herself off the wall and headed towards the hall. Hunter and Horror were nowhere to be seen. "blade wait!" She paused, glancing back at Killer. "... if you wanted to stay longer... we can teach you everything we know.." It was harder for the 'mother' to let go this second time around. "no. i'm not a murderer. that's my choice." Blade replied before disappearing and reappearing I to the throne room. It seemed Glitches was about finished up as well. "princess. if we are done here, we should find hunter and go back." All attention went to Blade as Glitches nodded. "a-agr-ee-d."
"th-there-s a-an-othe-er o-ne?" Glitches answered immediately. "th-ere-s thr-ee o-f u-s-s." Dust teleported in. "boss- oh damn. you and error..." Nightmare glared, making Glitches glare at him.

🔪🔪🔪

Horror and Hunter came just in time. "dinner's done. was hoping ya little ones would stay for dinner?" Blade and Glitches looked at one another. For Hunter's sake... "v-er-y we-ll. we l-lea-ve a-aft-er thou-gh." Hunter saluted the princess. "yes ma'am!" So everyone went to the kitchen. It was silent at first. "it seems we've all had a... lapse in judgment.." Nightmare said slowly, flinching at Glitches glare. "nope." Horror disagreed immediately. He hugged Hunter close. Blade found herself homesick. She missed her pops and dad.. "i'd call it more of a... pleasant surprise." Dust replied. "one that we are not repeating." Killer agreed. Nightmare didn't argue this. "where are you headed next, little surprises?" Blade and Glitches were throughly shocked. "um, undertale. dad can get the other two to their proper homes." Blade replied.

🔪🔪🔪

After saying their goodbyes to their real parents, the Trio ended up in the peaceful world of Undertale. It was dark, the monsters were asleep. "you can sleep on the couch or something. we'll get you home tomorrow, k?"
"i miss pop.." Hunter replied. "i m-mi-ss unc-cle.." Blade smiled at them. "i know. i'm sorry." They snuck in to the entire family more or less crashed on the couch. Blade immediately felt bad. "... just give me a minute... or five." Her blue magic was pretty good so carrying everyone to bed wasn't all that difficult. She even tucked them in. "alright. i'm going to bed, night you two." She went to her room and hesitated. Then she walked further down the hall to pops and dad. She then crawled into bed with them, into the comfort of the skeletons who raised her. Would they be shocked when they woke up? Most definitely. She didn't care though. She was glad to be back.

The end!
