Undertale: Fay Route

Fay was on the couch with her head leaned back and feet stretched out in front of her. Even without being, well, her, Fay could hear the conversation in the kitchen. Pinching the bridge of her nose, Fay scowled. Frisk just had to say something... Meanie... After Sans explained that humans die if they don't eat there was a moment of silence. But not a very long one.

"WHAT?!?!?! TALL HUMAN! COME BACK! YOU MUST EAT BEFORE YOU DIE! I CAN NOT LET A PRISONER UNDER MY CARE DIE! HUMAAAAAN!!!"

Fay cringed as she heard Papyrus knock over the table in his hurry to stand up. The plates audibly shattered as Papyrus ran up to Fay with teary eyes. Sans followed after his brother at a sluggish pace but kept a keen eye on the girl. Frisk was a little slower coming out of the kitchen. A very familiar sent hit her and Fay's eyes snapped open. She knew what was wrong immediately. Ignoring Pap's attempt at scolding her, Fay shot out of her seat and made her way over to Frisk.

"HUMAN! YOU MUST EAT! I CAN NOT LET YOU-"

"Quiet! Not right now Pap... Frisk... Let me see..."

Frisk jumped a bit and held their hand behind their back. Frisk shook their head and took a step away from Fay. Narrowing her eyes, Fay held out her hand, as if demanding something. Sans looked at Fay curiously and Pap stood with his mouth still open from speaking. Frisk sighed and placed their hand on top of Fays. It was cut and bleeding. It encompassed a large portion of Frisk's hand, meaning there was quite a bit of blood. Letting out a hiss, Fay quickly pulled out some bandages from her inventory. Something Frisk didn't even knew she had in there. Without facing them, Fay called out to the skeleton brothers.

"Papyrus. Get some fresh water please. Sans, can you get a few clean towels? Frisk, sit down please. I know you're used to this, but you can still get light headed..."

The sudden seriousness in Fay's voice shocked everyone enough to make them do what she asked. Surprisingly, Sans was the first one back and held the towels out to Fay. He was looking at Frisk, or rather their blood, with wide eyes. He seemed a little freaked out. Memories flashed through Sans head causing him to cringe. Papyrus came soon after with a cooking pot full of water. Putting it down next to Fay and Frisk, Papyrus finally got a good look at the wound.

" OH GOD, TINY H-HUMAN ARE YOU OK!?!?!?! SANS WHAT DO WE DO! WHAT'S ALL THAT RED STUFF?!"

"It's blood. It isn't as bad as it looks. It just needs to be cleaned... This is probably from when the table was... I'll fix it up now..."

"isn't that stuff supposed to, ya know, stay inside? from what i've heard, it's really important."

"It is... Think of it like a liquid soul... The more you lose, the weaker you get. However, if you heal it the right way, you can make more and get better... But it takes a while, and food helps. Though sometimes, even if you don't lose all of it, you can still die... The body and brain are unable to receive oxygen. Without oxygen the human brain shuts down and dies. This is called exsanguination, or in layman's terms, bleeding out. Actually, one only needs to lose about one third of their blood to die. A human approximately one hundred pounds only produces around one gallon of blood... I would guess Frisk is only fifty-seven, meaning they have only a little over half a gallon of blood to spare. Actually, bleeding to death is one of the worst ways to go... You are still fully aware of you and your surroundings but are unable to focus, move, or even communicate at times. You basically get to watch your death while trapped in your own body. You feel yourself slowly-"

"okay, i think that's enough Fairy... you're freaking everyone out..."

"Huh? Oh. Sorry... I started ranting... Don't worry though! This isn't even enough blood to cause someone to faint. Maybe be a little dizzy... You'll be fine Frisk. All done!"

As Fay spoke, she dampened a rag and used it to gently wipe off the blood and clean the wound. It really wasn't that bad. Putting the dirty rag aside, Fay then use the clean one to dry off Frisk's hand and put pressure on the wound. Dumping the dirty rags into the pot of water, Fay quickly and expertly wrapped up Frisk's hand in the bandage. The bleeding had almost stopped now and Frisk was fine. Aside from hearing the horror story Fay just shared. Though the one most affected was Papyrus. He was now crying and hugging Frisk tightly asking if they were okay. Fay shook her head in good humor and gathered the supplies to take to the kitchen.

"Frisk is perfectly safe. It was just a scrape from a plate shard. They will be fine after eating something."

"A PLATE SHAR- OH MY GOD NO!!! IT'S ALL MY FAULT TINY HUMAN! IF I WERE MORE CAREFUL YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN HURT! I COULD HAVE KILLED YOU TINY HUMAN! I THE GREAT PAPYRUS BEG FOR YOUR FORGIV-"

Fay watched Pap coddle Frisk and sighed. Frisk seemed distressed from getting so much attention but was otherwise fine. Looking to Sans, Fay coughed to get his attention.

"Make sure Papyrus doesn't hug Frisk to death... Breathing is a thing too... I'll go clean this up..."

Sans nodded, almost in a daze as Fay walked into the kitchen. Holding the pot with one hand and balancing it on her hip, Fay swipes her other hand towards the broken table, chairs, and dishes. Silently and almost instantly, the table righted itself and everything broken fixed itself. The dishes were also repaired, cleaned, and put away. The spaghetti splattered about the room simply faded into nothingness. Grabbing a chair, Fay stood on it to reach the sink and washed away the bloody water. She also threw out the bloody rags after rinsing them off some. Putting the chair back, Fay quickly went back to the living room to find Frisk sitting it Papyrus' lap while being pet like a cat. Sans was next to them, leaning his back against the wall for support. Clapping once to gain their attention, Fay smiled at everyone.

"I think we've had enough excitement. Everyone, off to bed. It's gotten late and everyone seems really stressed. Frisk, you get the couch... Though it's not exactly made for sleeping... Hmm..."

Crossing her arms, Fay looked back and forth between Sans and Papyrus. Sans noticed this and raised a brow.

"what cha thinking Fairy?"

"Frisk, you should sleep with one of them. The couch it rather lumpy and won't help your circulation any... Only if they are okay with this of course."

"THE GREAT PAPYRUS HUMBLY OFFERS TO SHARE HIS BED WITH THE TINY HUMAN! IT IS THE LEAST I CAN DO! THAT MEANS THE TALL HUMAN SHALL SHARE WITH SANS!"

"heh, uh... wow... Pap. you're pushing me into a corner here... i'm feeling a little boxed in..."

"SANS!"

"heh, sorry bro... but hey, i don't mind. whaddya say Fairy? wanna shack up together?"

"No... No thank you... I'll use the couch... Besides, it's Sans room. I wouldn't want to intrude..."

Waving her hand in a dismissive gesture, Fay took a step back from the group and inched towards the couch. Papyrus was uncomfortable with this and was about to push the issue when Fay turned her attention to Frisk.

"Hey, you should go get ready for bed. You're looking a little tired out there Frisk..."

This immediately caught Pap's attention. He looked down at the human in his lap and noticed that Frisk was indeed getting a little tired. They had a hard time keeping their eyes open. Though despite this, Frisk kept shooting Fay strange glances. They were upset she didn't eat, but they were thankful she helped them. Frisk would have said something, but they were too tired to complain. Letting it go for today, Frisk nodded and started to stand up. Papyrus quickly rose to his feet and picked up Frisk in his boney arms. With a smile, he bounded over to the stairs.

"I SHALL ASSIST YOU TINY HUMAN! THEN SANS WILL READ US A BEDTIME STORY! IT'S MY FAVORITE ONE ABOUT A FLUFFY BUNNY."

Fay chuckled and shook her head as she watched the two go. Sans let out a yawn but kept his eyes on Fay.

"i guess i'll just clean up the kitchen while they get ready..."

"Oh! Um... I already took care of it..."

"wha-? when?"

"Um... When I took back the pot and rags..."

"there's no way you could have cleaned all that. not that fast..."

"Well..."

Suspicious, Sans slunk his way over to the kitchen to see the damage. Of which there was none. If anything, the kitchen was actually cleaner than it was before the incident. Shocked, Sans looked back over at Fay.

"there's no way... you were only in there for two minutes. the table was broken... how did you... Fairy... what did you do?"

Giving a nervous smile, Fay only shrugged. Sans' smile strained and his eye sockets went completely black. Taking a step towards her, Sans put his hands in his pockets.

"No. I want answers. Now. No getting out of it this time Fairy."

"SANS! WE'RE READY FOR BED! COME READ US THE STORY NOW. TINY HUMAN WILL FALL ASLEEP IF YOU DON'T START SOON."

Saved by the screaming skeleton. Sans ground his teeth then let out a deep sigh. Glaring at Fay as he walked up the stairs, Sans narrowed his eyes.

"We'll talk later Fairy... Don't even try to run away..."

Fay nodded and waved as Sans disappeared into Pap's room. Once he closed the door, Fay's smile dropped. Looking over at the couch, Fay sighed and plunked herself down. Tilting her head to the side, Fay closed her eyes and hummed a little. She did technically say that she would tell Sans what was up. So she could start there... But it wouldn't answer all his questions. Tough shit. Having decided what to do, Fay now only had to wait. She HATED waiting. Pulling a book out of nothingness, Fay leaned back on the couch and sat cross-legged. The book was another from the series with winged teenagers. She managed to get a few chapters in before there was an almost undistinguishable shift in the air. Not even looking up from her book Fay held up a single finger to signify for the new presence to wait a moment. Once Fay finished the page, she snapped the book shut and set it on her lap.

"So... Anything you want to start off with? One questions at a time please."

"yeah, just who the fuck are you?"
