Aurora opened her eyes, shivering slightly. There was a blizzard happening. Most of the buildings were abandoned, broken and unused. Sora was about two feet from her, curled up in a ball of warmth. Aurora got up, feeling pain in her entire body. She limped over to the dragon and picked her up. Aurora realized that some part of her was bleeding and leaving blood marks in the snow. Snowdin was deserted, all the monsters either traveling or... dead. A blue D.A.D appeared in front of her, "Oh, cool! Ya came!"

Aurora nodded, leaning against a tree. The red Dutchie came next. "Garnet... Can you see where I'm bleeding?" Aurora asked the red dragon, feeling wet all over from the snow. Garnet examined the wolf and then held out the wolf's right arm. "Here. You've got a wound here. Not big, but it's bleeding. I'll be right back. Azure, watch them." Azure saluted, and Garnet disappeared. Aurora winced, not wanting to wait a single second longer. Azure sat next to Aurora. 

Aurora felt the tears come back, "W-what are you g-going to do? H-how will you get S-Sans back w-without a reset?" Azure smiled. Then he stood up, and Garnet appeared. "Who said we're not gonna reset?" Azure asked her, and a reset button appeared in front of them. Then it glitched away. Garnet laughed when she saw Aurora's shocked and scared expression, "Don't ye worry, Aurora! We're not gonna reset 'de timeline! That gonna mess it all up." Garnet stepped towards Aurora, wrapping a bandage around the wound. "Ah found it in 'de ruins of Grillby's. Don't ye worry. It's clean."

Aurora was surprised at how fast the pain subsided once the bandage was around the wound. Sora whispered something in her sleep, still shivering. "Do you have anywhere for us to rest?" Aurora asked Garnet. The red dragon thought, "We has a small place. C'mon, I'll show ye." Aurora got up, the pain gone. The new trio went towards the river, where the boat usually was. There was one house, with the windows boarded up and the door locked. Aurora knew about the door because when Azure tried to open it, the door didn't budge.

"Ya know I have 'de key, Azure!" Garnet scolded her partner, taking out a rusty key. She placed it in the keyhole and luckily, it still worked, unlocking the door. When the trio entered, most of the furniture was gone. A couch was pushed underneath a window. A dresser was placed on its side and was against a closed door. Anything else that would've been in there was gone. A shotgun, clearly brought from the surface, was on top of the couch, next to a pistol. "Our weapons," Azure bragged, seeing Aurora stare at the guns.

"Mind if I place Sora on the couch?" Aurora asked them. Garnet shrugged, picking up the weapons. Aurora put the small dragon on the blood-red couch, where she curled up and evened her breaths. "Want something to eat? We got....." Azure asked from the kitchen, and clattering noises were heard. "Ramen and... hotdogs..." Aurora sat next to Sora, feeling weak and tired, "I'm fine..." It wasn't long before there was a loud banging from the outside. Aurora jumped up, now wide awake. Sora did the same, her ears flicking rapidly and her eyes wide.

Garnet didn't flinch. Instead, she tossed the shotgun to Azure and simply ordered, "Shoot." The blue dragon obeyed, cocking the shotgun and shooting right at the door. No answer. Azure shot again, right at the same spot. This time, something screamed and a loud thump was heard. Sora jumped up, running towards the door. Aurora tried to get the ringing out of her mind. No... It couldn't be... Could it? Aurora jumped up as soon as Sora managed to get her paws to open the door.

When she did, the monster fell fully onto the ground. Garnet ran from her place, her eyes wide. Azure dropped the shotgun. Papyrus... Aurora thought, running towards the skeleton. Papyrus was in his normal form, now wearing a black sweater and black pants. The skeleton let out a weak groan, not moving. Azure and Garnet exchanged glances and helped Papyrus to the couch. Sora whimpered, "Papyrus okay?" Nobody answered. Nobody talked for a while. Sora and Aurora in shock and worry. Azure in guilt. Garnet in confusion and guilt. 

It was about an hour until Azure spoke up, "Seems like 'Dhruv' is changing them back. This way he'll have full power to transform... you...." He pointed to Aurora. Aurora held her arms, not answering to whatever he just said. She was shaking. Just a tiny bit. In fear. Sora got onto her hind legs, "Sora protect Aurora! Sora protect Papyrus!" Aurora wanted to smile, but whatever she did seemed painful. Suddenly, Aurora fell onto her knees. Sora screamed, then tried to help her up. Aurora felt pain everywhere. "R-run...." she managed to say. Azure backed closer to the door, his tail brushing against it. Garnet backed up a few steps. Sora didn't obey, "Sora help Aurora!"

Azure slowly turned the doorknob. Claws began forming, replacing Aurora's paws. The places were the patterns were hurt the most. Aurora felt the horns and tail growing. Even wings began forming. "P-please... leave...." Aurora whispered, her voice sounding different quickly. Azure opened the door, backing away. Aurora's eyes widened. Dhruv was behind him, a knife in hand. Don't... please... Aurora thought, but she knew that she was useless. Aurora let out a roar, unable to control it. Her vision became blurry. The pain grew, making it impossible to ignore it. 

Then darkness began swallowing Aurora's vision. The last thing she saw was a blur of blue falling on the ground and a blur of red running towards the strange little blur of white and blue. Aurora heard the thump of herself falling on the floor.

Did he hurt them?

Am I dead? 

Why did I agree to this...

Why did I follow them...

I only made things worse...

Sans... If you can hear me... somehow...

I miss you...
