Memory Lane [DISCONTINUED]

~!* Chapter 3 *!~

"Tori...el?" Gosh, nearly called her by the nickname that stranger gave her. She walked in my room and sat besides me on my bed.

"Yes, my child?" She gave me a motherly hug and smiled sweetly.

"Remind me...why can't I go outside?" Yes, I wish I could go outside. I'd be happy if I could go walk around in the backyard. Staying inside made me look pale due to not having enough contact with the sun.

"Oh, sweetheart...the monsters outside aren't as nice as me. They hate humans and kill everyone they see. The have big, sharp teeth. Long claws. They're all black. Bloodthirsty animals who don't have emotions and feelings." Toriel said and I sighed. That's why I can't go outside.

Toriel seemed to notice my sadness and quickly gave me an another hug. "I..just want you to be safe."

"I know...and I'm greatful for what you're doing for me. You're taking care of me...like a mother." It's the first time I've used this word. 'Mother'... Toriel really did seem like a great mother but..why did everyone else she meet leave her and never come back?

"I'm happy to help you out."

"Toriel?"

"Yes?"

"I...it's nothing" I decided against asking her about going outside disguised as a monster. That's stupid. When did I ever think of that?

She gave me a confused look but brushed it off.
"You can tell me anything, okay? I have to go and do some errands now, I'll see you soon."

With that, she was gone.

Right...'see you soon'. That's what she tells me every day. Leaves at morning, is back at lunch and then reads. And then leaves again.

Will this go on forever?

-:-Two weeks later-:-

I'm sick of this. Every day is the same. I'm exhausted, not because I have been doing stuff, but because there's nothing to do. I've read a lot of books about random stories that won't affect me, I've re-decorated my room 10 times out of boredom, I've eaten pies and cakes for the last 4 weeks.

I can't take this anymore. It's torture.
Today, is gonna be the day ill leave the ruins.

I know this will crush Toriel's heart, but I can't keep on living like this. It's not the lifestyle I wish to have. I want to go outside and explore the Underground, because what else can a girl with no memories do? I can't sit inside all my life and just...stare out the window.

I put on my fuchsia and light gray sweater Toriel gave me the first day I came here, black pants and some gray sneakers Toriel had gotten me. I put on my black backpack which was filled with snacks and water. Also a map I found in one of the books. I was ready.

I took in a deep breath and waked downstairs to the living room. Toriel was reading what seemed like a newspaper. She looked at me and immediately stood up.

"W-What do you think you're doing?" She asked in a hurried/scared tone.

"Toriel, I...I wish to leave the ruins. Before you say no, I know what dangers I'll meet out there. I can take care of myself. I want to go, I can't live like this anymore. I'm sorry I broke my promise. I'm sorry I wasn't the perfect child you wanted me to be." I pinched myself to keep myself from crying as I saw tears in Toriel's eyes. I had let her down, broke her heart.
