"Sena?" A small voice asked. Feeling small hands on her arm. And a wet face? Buried on her arm too. "When are you... When are you gonna wake up? I– I miss you. Please, wake up. I want to talk to you again. Even if you don't talk much. I want to, I want to see your smile. Please. Please."1097Please respect copyright.PENANANOH1eVlH6E

Sena’s eyes shot open wide, the pale yellow ceiling was the first thing she saw, though she didn’t expect to feel… well rested…? Or feel well at all. Though she still felt like an airplane ran her over after getting hit by a truck. But she felt relatively ‘fine’ as most people would say.1097Please respect copyright.PENANA9EqEzkDNJ3
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAUiFKUxHdrs
And she definitely didn’t expect to wake up in a soft, comfy bed. Come to think of it, she didn’t even know where she is at the moment. She sat up, wincing in pain when her head throbbed a little because of how fast she sat up, but shrugged it off, looking around, her eyes scanning the room, looking for at least the slightest hint of information that would tell her where she is.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAPiSwK5IBWV
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAjV480oiAU4
All she knew was that she seemed to be in a… shared room. Two twin beds on both sides. The side she resided at was decorated with photos, stickers and posters of constellations on the wall that reached up to the ceiling. With furniture such as a nightstand with a framed picture of a blue bone (?) along with a lamp, a dresser, a desk with a computer on it, and shelves stocked with pictures of people along with trophies and certificates. The other side of the room was almost identical to the side she was in, only that it was more so empty.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAqUrIqofF7o
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAK8DsbqfmX1
Seemed like it’s been a long time since anyone ever used that side of the room. Dust particles resting on the surfaces of all the furniture were key proof in supporting her hypothesis. She eventually noticed her clothes folded neatly and placed right on the dresser along with her gear. Except… where are the knives? And if her own clothes were on the dresser, then what the heck is she wearing?1097Please respect copyright.PENANA8pjLw6KXZj
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAlfLc1wMUUD
Looking down, Sena noticed that she was currently wearing a baggy worn down t-shirt, it was old, but felt very comfortable. Her head snapped back towards the pile of clothes- realizing that her pants was there as well, she frantically pulled the covers up, looking at her legs- oh- she was- a tad bit bare. She still had… a pair of boxers on? But it was too short, she then realized all her wounds have been patched up, wounds that already healed weren’t bandaged but had been cleaned.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAA1mA7pdId4
1097Please respect copyright.PENANA7ARQ9QYldM
Her eyes trailed from her legs to her arms, they were bandaged, with a few ban-aids here and there. At this point, questions began to swirl inside Sena’s head. Where is she? Why is she here? Who changed her clothes? Who took her in? Who patched her up? Her eyes widened when epiphany struck her- where’s the kid?!1097Please respect copyright.PENANAzDtYGklJDU
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAxI4w1WwLEP
She struggled to move, but eventually got off the bed, almost falling over when she tried to walk but still managed to catch herself. Using anything she could get a hold of as support, she eventually made it to the door. Her anxiety spiking as worry filled her soul as she turned the doorknob. Opening the door, it’s quiet creaks filled the air, and then a click when she closed the door behind her.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAQcPpzlaVdk
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAN0uPIi4LRh
Once she exited the room to the hallway, she took note that the house was… quite large. Probably larger than she thinks it is. Scanning the area, doors notably reached to the end of the long hallway. In the middle of it was a staircase down. At the moment, she didn’t know where to go next, it would take a while for her to go through all the rooms, but it was for the kid. She made the choice to check the rooms first-1097Please respect copyright.PENANAoQbujtKI01
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAglaiR4olUA
“Help!” A voice screeched from downstairs. Sena’s eyes widened in alarm. It sounded like it belonged to a kid, like it belonged to him. She took off running, the sound of her bare feet thumping rapidly against the ceramic floor echoed in the hallway, no doubt throughout the house as well with how hard she ran.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAodVmTvU18q
Ignoring the sharp stabs of pain on different parts of her body, she pushed through, either clutching or holding that specific part of her body, the only thing on her mind was to make sure he was okay. She didn’t care about herself. It’s all about him to her. Even if it meant risking her life.1097Please respect copyright.PENANArdwsAA35on
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAE7GZS2sn5D
The staircase was carpeted, so it wouldn’t matter that much if she tripped, resulting to her carelessly running down the stairs. Amazingly, she didn’t trip once she reached the next floor down. Another hallway, another set of stairs leading down, but there was a room before her that was open to the hallway, a living room that was connected to a kitchen with a simple doorway.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAcMRX6otj3b
1097Please respect copyright.PENANA6rJLriUliQ
The moment she arrived; however, all eyes were on her. Well... eye-sockets more specifically. Whatever they were doing, watching T.V., reading a book, solving a puzzle, or playing a board-game, they stopped, just to look at her. The expression on their faces were more of shock rather than confusion.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAIdZm0z7uow
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAcuY1GS4jHK
The one thing that ticked Sena off was that she didn’t see the kid anywhere. The blank look on her face changed into a scowl, glaring daggers at the skeleton closest to her. Who glanced around the room as sweat began to form on his skull from the look on her face. “You. Where is he.” It sounded more of like, a demand, like she’s not giving the guy any other options rather than to answer her. Cosmic only tilted his head in question as his expression morphed into confusion.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAJlNGhsF6VL
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAXJoYWpDCwE
“Uh, who?”1097Please respect copyright.PENANAJX2Z9WybLA
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAIYEu7ZHaLT
“PERCY, WHERE’S PERCY.” She snarled at him. Gripping the collar of the guy’s t-shirt then she shook him.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAgyXJL164hh
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAvgOszgwzhx
“O-okay, calm down, the kid’s ‘lright-” Interrupting him mid-sentence was another scream. More desperate this time in the other room. Sena narrowed her eyes at him, glancing at everyone else as theirs widened. The guy paused a bit, holding a finger up. “Okay, that, it’s not what you thin-”1097Please respect copyright.PENANA745W4dXEdT
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAXstL8f4Lc6
Sena didn’t let him finish as she shoved him off the couch, about to dash towards the direction where she heard Percy’s voice. But around this time, everyone in the room was closing in on her. Of course, it was out of their intention to calm her down, because she really shouldn’t be running around like this after waking up from a literal coma.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAdlZSYHfJwd
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAFqpJIZ7Sqb
Thing is, in this scenario, Sena is like an animal. A very, enraged and distressed animal just from the look in her eyes. (Especially after hearing another squeal from Percy in the other room) And one thing you should never do is corner an enraged and distressed animal, because when you do, they don’t see your pure intentions of wanting to help it, all they see is a threat to their safety, an obstacle in their way that they can either avoid, or remove.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAjAI80s6aXs
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAT3fjFysb7w
Sena, of course, knowing the state that her body is in, knew she can’t fight all of them off. Maybe she can dust the closest ones, but at the cost of her losing energy and not being able to ensure that Percy is safe. So naturally she switched to another plan, avoid them and push them away. She saw a tall skeleton monster getting a bit too close for her liking in her peripheral vision.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAOPmWgDSFEQ
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAJeH4rBVNkf
While in reality, Papyrus just wanted to give her a hug because it always calmed Chara down as he witnessed Toriel giving her a hug after experiencing a panic attack,so he figure it would probably work on Sena too. Sena just saw him trying to grab her to hold her still. Sans, Sans was already panicking because he could see what Papyrus was doing, but he knew the human didn’t. He expected Sena to attack him, but all she did was duck, much to his relief.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAZxV5pEqzc1
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAxlK4ibLzz0
Sena backed away from the tall skeleton, while doing so, her eyes landed on a possible escape route, the doorway to the hallway, and no one was blocking it let alone was near it. All she needs to do is beeline her way through this crowd of bones, you know, while running. She glances to the direction where Percy’s voice was coming from, seeing that doorway blocked by three more skeletons, she noticed it looked like a kitchen area.1097Please respect copyright.PENANABEEOqBxoFE
1097Please respect copyright.PENANApo7W2t3Rvh
Recalling that there was an entrance to the kitchen from the hallway, so she makes a run for it to the exit to the hallway. But before she can even blink, someone appeared in front of her, making her slam into him, (guess what, it was Sans) Sena was just a bit taller than Sans, and since he was a skeleton, she managed to push him, making him stumble back.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAIXQWezF4MG
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAW0GW6l8y6d
Instinctively, Sans reached for something that could stop him from falling, in this case, that something was Sena’s shoulders. So he pulled her down with him. She struggled to get free, coherently shouting curses at the person.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAmoyVBAo7bb
1097Please respect copyright.PENANA27kaWaCx3y
"Let me go!" She snarked at him. Squirming and struggling more violently than before.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAhcUBgt0LB0
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAzuHitAJnbG
"Whoa, whoa, calm down there. There's no need to be violent–"1097Please respect copyright.PENANAtuIbp32Erg
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAnngXX9fHmY
Too late for that. When it became clear to the skeletons around her that anything that comes out of their mouths won't calm her down. They decided to use another tactic. Only one guy did it though.1097Please respect copyright.PENANACBUDTXTijr
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAruTl9KKgvs
"Do you not care for what happens to that child you carried here?" Edge boomed, the sentence sounding more of a threat than a question to Sena. She finally did stop, but now her attention now towards him.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAeNR06ZSix9
1097Please respect copyright.PENANABDPuYZ154s
The hands gripping her shoulders were gone as the one holding her down let her go. But that was a mistake, she bolted towards Edge. Grabbing the tattered scarf around his neck, she pulled him down to her eye-level.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAyzjuAtgg8y
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAoF9OsTJiuJ
“Where. Is. He.” She growled; her voice dangerously low. The way she yanked the scarf would've no doubt choked someone if they needed to breathe. Normally, Edge, would have impaled anyone who did such acts towards him, but something was telling him not to do it, instead of a scowl on his face, there was a look of shock and surprise. Not liking the silence, Sena furrowed her brows as anger boiled in her chest. “If I see a single scratch on him, I will murder you and dance on your remains.”1097Please respect copyright.PENANAUFJAewGjRn
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAQGrFjKEsdx
Usually that would sound more of a playful threat if a sentence was accompanied by that last phrase. But at the moment, it was clear she wasn’t joking around.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAIcvXDk0GFH
1097Please respect copyright.PENANA3tNo3akS66
Suddenly, a high-pitched scream was heard from the other room. Sena’s head snapped towards the direction where the noise came from. She glanced a glare to Edge but immediately let him go as she ran, dodging the figures. She grabbed the doorway, to help her turn with ease as she was going too fast to actually turn by herself without any extra help. She called his name, worry laced in her voice. “Percy?!”1097Please respect copyright.PENANAONFvReymfa
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAXgkoZuGtHb
Expecting the worst, Sena stood in a stance, looking around quickly to search for the threat, ready to fight off whoever was hurting the boy. But then, the scene she sees before her completely leaves her speechless. The raging desire in her chest to kill anyone in the vicinity who hurt the child dissipated. Her on-guard stance and expression fell as she stood, confused.1097Please respect copyright.PENANACNVTh7LV7I
1097Please respect copyright.PENANArU4CJQPlvo
Her fists still raised but her intent was no longer to hurt anyone. She watches, in silent confusion, seeing the young child giggling as he plays with… floating giant dragon heads?1097Please respect copyright.PENANAuSUKFVFCyT
1097Please respect copyright.PENANA0J5foM4eNj
What on Earth.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAMQFXGuidXE
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAePFSoXBKtN
She didn't move or say anything, she just stared. The others followed. Some appearing, or the term, teleporting while others just walked through the doorway. Sort of, some of them ran in. Only to see her frozen on the spot, figuring she’s calm now after seeing Percy, they left her alone, not one advanced towards her to detain her. At least now she wasn’t thinking of jumping anyone for a misunderstanding. Because Edge could swear that he didn’t mean he’d hurt the kid.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAuIhua0a8wo
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAxas8bEqlpS
Percy finally noticed her. But being distracted, he gave one of the… skeleton head things the opportunity to push him a little bit too roughly, causing him to fall from the chair he was standing on to the floor with a hard thud. Sena snapped out of it, running over to Percy, pulling him up and grabbing him by the shoulders (although not roughly), immediately throwing him questions; “Are you okay?” “Are you hurt?” “What’s wrong?”1097Please respect copyright.PENANAITXBj8DkSn
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAlcZYhWnzsD
Percy never answered, he only stared at her, dumbfounded as his eyes began to swell with tears. Sena stopped talking the moment the first tear rolled down his cheek. Her expression remained blank, but her eyes betrayed her, surprise was clear in them, widening once Percy hugged her out of the blue, much to her further confusion. He didn’t even say anything, all he did was sob loudly as he tightened his grip around her. Sena only sighed, bringing a hand up to his head, patting it.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAIEa4q7GGUl
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAnNTL1B8KlA
The two blasters were confused with the whole situation though, they wanted to continue their play-date with the kid. But with the look Cherry was shooting at them, they decided not to interfere and only watched from a distance after joining their owner.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAUO2Fxq9fje
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAREcPuGPVGK
Percy was the first to pull away, tears relentlessly streaming down his cheeks as he began to blabber out words that didn’t even make sense. In the end, he managed to calm down a bit, enough to actually make his words that were spewing out of his mouth understandable. He told her how worried he was, that he thought she was gone, that she left her too.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAtLczvqSFyI
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAaHkTk1oFJa
Before he could even sputter anything else out in his crying state. Sena gripped his shoulders a little more tightly, not to hurt him, but to reassure him. Then gave him a small smile. But Percy knew that it meant something more. Way more. These smiles, they were a rarity, from her at least. Like a shooting star that disappears as quickly as it appeared. So he couldn’t help but smile back, and hugged her again.1097Please respect copyright.PENANAOgIIKXRlvr
1097Please respect copyright.PENANApzy2G4MPHT
“I’m just happy that you’re okay.”1097Please respect copyright.PENANADeCzjhT4rD
1097Please respect copyright.PENANAwmbZ2yNtWq
“I’m happy that you’re okay too.” Sena's smile widened just a little bit more, and hugged him back.
