Beauty Is But Skin Deep

Chapter 2: Sans Night Terror

💀Sans💀

I look around, I saw Papyrus lying face down. He wasnt moving. I hear cackling in my ear. I look towards the noise but someone backhands me. The force sends me flying and I hit the ground.

He grabs me by the hood, whispering in my ear. "First Papyrus, then your beloved Mira, then you." My eyes widen and I struggle. "You won't touch her!"

He lifts me up and I see his face, Gaster.

"Sans! Wake up!" I open my eyes and find Error standing over me worriedly. "Are you okay, you were screaming in your sleep?" I nod my eyes half closed. I turn away hiding the blue tears that leak out of my eyes. "Okay, I'm going back to bed, goodnight Sans."

I say the same before burying my face into my pillow, crying silently. "Papyrus. Mira." I whisper to myself picturing their faces in my mind's eye. "I won't let anything happen. To either of you." With that I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

I get up, I pull a white tee, black jeans, and my jacket from my closet. I look around at my room. Asgore gave us money so we could buy this house. I pull on my clothing, grab my backpack, and leave with Papyrus and Error.

When we enter school, they went on ahead, I'm unaware that I had slowed down. Until someone knocks into me. I look down and see the top of someone's head. They mutter an apology before continuing. "Wow, kid, where's the fire?" I grab onto their arm, turning them to face me.

When I see her face I froze, it's Mira, tears stream down her face. "Woah, Mira, what happened?"

❣Mira❣

I walk into school, feeling dead on my feet. Nightmares kept waking me from my sleep. I suddenly feel like someone's watching me. I look out the window to my left, the yard is filled with students. I look to my right and freeze. It's that weird man from my nightmare.

His face has cracks in it, his whole body covered by a black robe, his hand is outstretched to me, the hole stood out even more now than in my dream. Tears fill my eyes as he smirks at me. I turn and run away as fast as I can.

I run down a hallway and right into someone. "Sorry," I mutter, ducking around him and trying to keep moving only to have him grab my arm. "Woah, kid, where's the fire?" I freeze and look up at him, it was Sans.

"Woah, Mira, what happened?" He quickly wipes away my tears. "I-I saw something, in the school yard!"

"Okay, what did you see?"

"The man from my nightmare with the weird face." Sans suddenly moves closer, I blush a little. "Where did you see him?" I point to the corridor I just came from. Sans made a stay here gesture and attempted to move down the hall.

But I grab onto his arm. "No, please don't leave me! Please!" I beg, the tears sprang up again. Sans looks at me and nods, pulling me into a hug.

"I won't let him hurt you, Mira." He whispers, I wrap my arms around him. He pulls away, just to wrap his arm around my shoulder. "Let's go to class. Before we're late." I nod and allow him to steer me in the direction of the classroom.

We attempt to meet up again, only this time in the public library. I help him get caught up and he's able to finish that paper. I clap as he wrote the last sentence. "You did it!"

"Only cause I had a great teacher." I ruffle his silver hair, blushing slightly. He smiles widely. "I'll go get us a couple of sodas from the vending machine." I nod and watch him leave before looking down at my book, attempting to read, but Sans keeps popping into my head.

I shake my head. I just met him, I can't be that into him, can I? I shake my head again. Footsteps draw closer I look up and see Sans. I smile, he sits down beside me, his leg pressing against mine. His heat jolts through my leg, sending it up my thigh.

I nearly dropped my book but compose myself. He pushes a Pepsi toward me, I grab it, thanking him. "Mira, I want to thank for everything you've done for me."

"Of course. I was happy to do it." I smile. "I really do appreciate it." I glance at him, he looks at me his eyes serious. I turn to him, placing my hands over his, it was so sudden that he jumps but soon relaxes. "Sans, I was happy to help besides I like your brothers they're fun."

Sans gave me a playful smile. "Really, well what about me?"

"I love hanging out with you you make me forget about my problems." Sans grin widens a bit. I smile as an idea struck me. "Hey Sans, why did the mummy have to go to the doctor?"

"Why?"

"Cuz' he was coffin." Sans burst out laughing, clutching his stomach. I laugh as well. We pack up our stuff and walk home together. I find out rather quickly that Sans doesn't like to talk about himself very much. But he'd like to know more about me so I tell him.

I share with him how I didn't know my mom or my dad, I was abandoned at birth, an elder couple took me in, raised me till I was 13 then they died too. From then on I only relied on myself.

Sans listens quietly. "I'm sorry to hear that."

"At least it made me stronger." I say, shrugging my shoulders. Sans looks at the ground sadly. We make it to my house. "Mira?" I stop with my key in the lock. I turn around and look at Sans. "Yes?"

"Do you want to meet me at my house tomorrow?" I smile and nod. "Sure." He smiles, waving goodbye before walking away.

Mira, opens her door and goes inside. Not noticing the figure, standing inside the shadow of her house. The oozing black figure smiles evily before disappearing.
