When Aurora woke up, Sora was nudging Sans. "What are ya doin'?" Aurora asked the dragon, who looked at her wide-eyed. Once Sora saw that it was Aurora and nothing else she replied, "Sora tries to wake up Sans. Sora found ketchup for Sans." Aurora stood up, wincing at the pain she felt as she got up. Sora tilted her head, getting back onto her hind legs. "Aurora hurt?" Sora asked, walking towards the wolf. Aurora shook her head, doing a downward dog to stretch.

Sora handed Aurora a hotdog, "Sora found hotdog in Sans' sentry." Aurora thanked her and ate it. When she checked on Sans, he hadn't changed much. Only that his teeth were normal now, he still had claws, and there was a small tail that had ripped through his shorts. He was still asleep. Aurora shook him, trying to wake the small skeleton up. Sans grumbled in his sleep and slid onto the ground. Aurora smiled.

"He's still alive. That's good," she told Sora, standing up from her knees. Sora beamed. Aurora picked up Sans and walked to the side of the cabin. It had stopped burning from the new-fallen snow. The roof was completely gone and so was some of the top walls. "You ready?" Aurora asked Sora, who nodded. Both females were determined. Aurora pressed her back against the remains of the cabin and scooted to the front. That's when the surprise came. The entire front wall was burned off. The living room and kitchen were in ashes. Large white wolves sniffed at the remains, hoping to find something edible in the rubble.

The two females, one holding a passed-out skeleton male, managed to sneak by the open house and to the land where they would usually meet Papyrus. Instead of the skeleton, strange clumps of snow which showed a deformed dragon were fighting. Each had two holes on their 'head,' representing eyes. Black goo dripped from those sockets. One had two horns, the other had holes instead. Both had holes-small ones-that replaced their ears and mouths. The two looked at them, then let out a scream. It was another distorted scream, like Alphys'.

Aurora was surprised at the force the call made. Aurora fell, and so did Sora. The one without horns took the advantage and rammed the horned beast onto its side. The horned beast roared, sending the bare one back. Aurora got up, picked up Sora, and ran past them. The new blizzard nearly threw her down, but she managed to bring her friends to the Waterfall. The two beasts roared, but Aurora didn't hear their clawsteps following them.

Aurora put Sora down and made sure she held Sans tight. Once that was done, she rushed past the waterfalls and towards the area with Sans' sentry station. Once she saw the echo flower, she calmly brushed a petal. "I've always wanted-rgh!" came from it. "A-Al... I-I don't know what's-ngh-happening... But I... I..." Before the monster finished, there was one of those scream-roars and a large splashing sound. It didn't take long for Aurora to notice who was talking, Oh my god! It's Undyne! She turned to face Sora, whose eyes were wide again. "U-Undyne okay?" the dragon asked. Aurora shook her head, continuing deeper into the Waterfall.

They passed the chest and the waterfall where the rocks slid through a waterfall. Some rocks were broken or completely torn apart. Aurora picked up Sora and wadded through the water, being careful and avoiding the stone. She put Sora down when they got to the other side and continued their journey. The large grass was cut, about as tall as Aurora's knees now. She sighed, annoyed at the wet grass. It slowed her down. Still, they continued through it. Here and there, Sans made a muffled sound. The tail of his was longer, and he had his sharp teeth again. Blue blush covered his cheekbones.

They were at the boardwalk when Sans let out a muffled scream, clenching his teeth. "Sora and Aurora rest here?" Sora asked, wincing at the scream. Aurora looked at the small and poor dragon, "No. We must keep going..." Sora nodded, letting out a yawn. Aurora realized that Sora hadn't slept for a long time. Aurora felt tired herself. Maybe just a bit longer... Aurora told herself. It took about an hour for them to find the old Nice Cream Cart, which was now turned over and raided from. There was blood spilling it, and an armless yellow monster ripped in half. Good thing I didn't know him, Aurora thought, thinking they should continue. 

But her arms and legs hurt so bad. And now she was carrying Sora! Aurora yawned, placing Sora and Sans against the ground wall. Aurora made herself comfortable next to Sans, trying to close her eyes and keep them closed. After a while, she heard a voice. "How nice to see you again, Aurora..." the voice hissed, causing Aurora to open her eyes.

This time, it was a dragon-like ghost. Blood leaked from holes, including its eyes and mouth. Whenever the ghost talked, blood spilled from its mouth. Sometimes black blood or even organs. The dragon laughed, "Don't worry. Only you can see it. To the others, I'm just a dragon-ghost. Luckily, I'm not in my real form now." The beast tilted its head, its eyes full of danger and worry. "I can't really say I anymore, can I? I mean... It's confusing. It's me, Dhruv! I just used ol' Nap-Stab-Look's beast..." The way Dhruv said the ghost's name struck Aurora.

Dhruv looked surprised, "You know what it means. Don't ya? Well, ya don't? Let m' tell ye. Nap-When Sans is weak and falls asleep during the battle." Aurora shook her head, covering her ears. She had to drown him out. This wasn't real. It couldn't be. Dhruv grinned, "Stab-When you stab Sans, killing him..." Aurora wanted to scream. She wanted to. But she couldn't... Dhruv tilted his head, blood spilling everywhere, "Look-When Sans takes his last look at his own wound..." Then the beast erupted into laughter. It didn't last though.

A large white beam destroyed the ghost, letting it take its last scream. Aurora recognized the beam and turned, "Sans!" The skeleton smiled at Aurora and chuckled, "I'm awake, then..."
