Hand

A bang suddenly awoke her. She snapped her eyes open only to see a knife inches away from her face. The holder was straight faced with only shadows to show emotions. They lifted their head to the light. It was a girl, brown hair, maroon eyes wearing a lime and pink striped jumper and a golden heart charm necklace.

They hesitated.

"Holly?" The girl whispered.

"Chara?" Holly replied, shakily.

The attacker sheathed her weapon and hugged Holly, "Sister… we thought you were dead. I came to try find you and fell down that hole. We need to get out of here. I killed a bunch of those freaks outside. I'm sure if we keep going-" Chara was stopped.

"You… You killed them?!" Holly screamed, distressed.

"Yeah, what else am I supposed to do? They'd have killed me! We need to leave…"

"No, I'm not going with you if you're going to kill people! Sans'll stop you!" She said, warningly.

"Fine, if you're not gonna do as I say, I'll have to do this." Chara said.

She grabbed her sister's shoulder and smirked.

. . .

It was so sudden and powerful.

All Holly's kindness in her soul was replaces.

No there was only one thing she could feel.

The need to murder.

. . .

A few days of death later, Chara and Holly arrived at the golden coated hall. Both wielding a dagger, they walked past each pillar.

A warp.

A familiar skeleton stood ahead of them.

"Sansy, Sansy…" Chara taunted.

"You two've been busy… I would follow my script but it doesn't show here." He said, "You've killed my brother…"

Holly flinched.

"Holly, i know you're not yourself. Chara is controlling you and i'm here to fix that."

A wall of bones spawned around Holly, imprisoning her. Immediately, her knife began slashing against the marrow. It was pointless thought. They wouldn't move.

Sans pointed at Chara, "you stay there."

A floating cow skull, called a gaster blaster, appeared. It's eyes and mouth glowed blue, threatening to fire a laser towards the evil child. Concentrating on Holly, Sans walked over.

"kiddo… i know you never wanted to hurt anyone… just calm down…" His bony hand carefully approached the imprisoned human. Flashbacks of his house filled her head and she sliced at his arm. He pulled away, "gotta make this hard don't ya?" He laughed.

The bones fell down suddenly. Not all the way, but it allowed Holly to move a bit. She immediately shot herself to attack, but as if waiting, Sans side stepped and took her by the shoulder. The rage disappeared.

"S-Sans?" She mumbled.

Before he could reply, a demonic voice came from behind him.

"Oh no you don't!" It was Chara, impaling him through the chest with her knife.

He gasped, the bones trapping Holly slowly dusting and flying through the air. She cried for help, but nobody came.

"Quick, ignore him." Chara said, pointing to the depleted figure wincing on the floor. "Look, the door opened, it's our one-way ticket to escaping this hell. Wait, what are you doing?"

A weird grey heart appeared above the near dead monster's body. It was upside down and was decaying to powder. Holly was making a grab for it. She could tell it was the life force for Sans and didn't want for him to die so she tried to stop the soul from disappearing. Her sister tried to pull her away towards the exit but she wouldn't move.

"Let! Go!" Chara yelled.

Nothing could be heard anymore. Holly's mind was blank. Full concentration was set on keeping her saviour alive.

All of a sudden, the skeleton's body lit up. The light from the tinted window was now inadequate compared to him. Chara screamed, blinded while Holly gave a groan of what was seemingly pain. When the glare dissipated, Sans was stood, stronger than ever. He was glaring at the demonic child.

She stood back in awe for a second then looked back at her sister who was on the floor, hugging her arm in agony.

"This is your fault."

Her steel dagger was dropped. Already coated in blood, it glimmered red in the moonlight. Its perfectly pointed blade dug itself into Holly's weak body. She flinched unable to defend. Even Sans made a quick grab for it, only to miss by an inch. Holly's devious sister seemed apathetic whilst she whimpered. The skeleton had had enough. His unnerved gaster blaster had a shot of courage and flew towards Chara.

It fired.

. . .

"kiddo wake up!" a whispery voice said.

Holly gently opened her eyes.

"thank goodness you're awake." It stated.

A familiar white skull was in her vision.

"Sans Where… where am I?" she mumbled, lifting her head to look around.

"back at my house, when i 'died', it restarted everything. all the people you killed came back to life. i bought you back here using a… shortcut. Well, most of you. Your arm…" He paused.

In horror, Holly pulled her right hand out from under the covers. She screamed.

The people walking nearby the window stopped to see what the hassle was. Sans quickly closed the curtains. Holly's hand was missing. All the skin and flesh was no longer there and all that was left was a skeletal hand. The bones weren't even connected, just floating as if magnetized. She wriggled her fingers, they moved. "Ah!"

"chill kid, chill" Sans said seriously, "it's okay. when you held my soul to bring it back, the power was too much and it burnt a lil body fat off. thanks by the way…"

Holly was still staring at her hand, checking the other as well. That one was fine.

"welp, the least I can do is let you borrow a pair of my gloves." He chucked her a pair of black, leather mittens. She carefully placed them on.

He sighed, "i guess you'll be wanting to go to the suface n-"

"No"

Sans looked at her in awe, "what?"

"You heard me. No, I don't want to go back up, I want to stay here with you and papyrus." Holly said firmly.

He couldn't believe it, "really?"

She nodded. They sat in silence, the only noise coming from Snowdin villae outside.

Until, "SANS!"

"pap?"

Papyrus had kicked the door open. He was holding something, "ANOTHER HUMAN FELL."
