"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."483Please respect copyright.PENANABrFd0MJXYH

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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAwNmfuWp7Vv
483Please respect copyright.PENANA5MNXmnpldj
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAeHLMmAS0a7
483Please respect copyright.PENANA7JZaIFJcrT
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAEuJElCtDfa
483Please respect copyright.PENANAM1nC8NYBDi
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?483Please respect copyright.PENANAkei9apQm0H
483Please respect copyright.PENANAUhgN3lxWj3
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAzUumjr4Dgg
483Please respect copyright.PENANAeUZCVGJ0pR
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?!483Please respect copyright.PENANA0dlCqf0OBr
483Please respect copyright.PENANAqZbl4yRZwt
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAs6vUQCBClM
483Please respect copyright.PENANALKik26rrrj
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-483Please respect copyright.PENANAjWoQV0QJGs
483Please respect copyright.PENANA8Dwe7uzlmE
“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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAdkChS8mQkL
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANA2OeQAOav5s
483Please respect copyright.PENANASn8iQxunUf
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAHHko62L7xI
483Please respect copyright.PENANA5DgNShvDhb
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAFbkqBvl7ip
483Please respect copyright.PENANAJJSqMOiw80
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAkc6f3dDDFC
483Please respect copyright.PENANADMJLhQu2sV
“Uh, who?”483Please respect copyright.PENANAlCgafkDrDk
483Please respect copyright.PENANAqV8vlzM9t5
“PERCY, WHERE’S PERCY.” She snarled at him. Gripping the collar of the guy’s t-shirt then she shook him.483Please respect copyright.PENANAmfvlOOeaqL
483Please respect copyright.PENANAbjNuXqF2lN
“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-”483Please respect copyright.PENANAj6PVY3Sm34
483Please respect copyright.PENANASzk2b6jGCt
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAaKcc3MEbeK
483Please respect copyright.PENANACHZj3BjaSK
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANADh3NBiqbLw
483Please respect copyright.PENANAuPCai4vQQI
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAkAdgGbgeUA
483Please respect copyright.PENANADOARnDryNu
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAi5fyVS9Tz3
483Please respect copyright.PENANAG3uyeU1S0l
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAPse9gj1Lui
483Please respect copyright.PENANAGauh5Tww5K
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANA05608l3WHr
483Please respect copyright.PENANAP2Hz5NI11r
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAPscOo0AStH
483Please respect copyright.PENANAeuepExZ3n2
"Let me go!" She snarked at him. Squirming and struggling more violently than before.483Please respect copyright.PENANAdUiojQzkwY
483Please respect copyright.PENANAzW9s5nu9Xc
"Whoa, whoa, calm down there. There's no need to be violent–"483Please respect copyright.PENANA1TteJodczg
483Please respect copyright.PENANAKfdegEnWYv
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANApHVbKyqQ8X
483Please respect copyright.PENANAr1xo1nlzWS
"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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAYA3nZFVYlV
483Please respect copyright.PENANAZokWExkJJw
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAHTHrlokYCl
483Please respect copyright.PENANA2IvgrdmrnF
“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.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAu88mj7DOgx
483Please respect copyright.PENANA9t4Q7BnCWg
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANA5ePGs3m10J
483Please respect copyright.PENANAuamRz7TkbH
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?!”483Please respect copyright.PENANAK7Wj80dqDn
483Please respect copyright.PENANA87j8n2kyDY
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xupm466y5
483Please respect copyright.PENANAKWdoESsIrN
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?483Please respect copyright.PENANAuNUvldxd3c
483Please respect copyright.PENANARuG1LIRNZh
What on Earth.483Please respect copyright.PENANAOHQKcSLgKp
483Please respect copyright.PENANAq3tWvDWoPF
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANADqoJACSPk9
483Please respect copyright.PENANAmd3av4SfMS
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?”483Please respect copyright.PENANAL6pwcH1G0B
483Please respect copyright.PENANAEVpKJygHsi
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANADEIfZic9O6
483Please respect copyright.PENANAtUWegK5jb7
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANA46Dp41wtWG
483Please respect copyright.PENANAzxlWwfqfIA
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAlHCP4LzWrl
483Please respect copyright.PENANABgRwo2DDng
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.483Please respect copyright.PENANAtH5Dg5aCEQ
483Please respect copyright.PENANAEQYmBT7VQL
“I’m just happy that you’re okay.”483Please respect copyright.PENANAC9qUB6qVkU
483Please respect copyright.PENANAgVS0IzyMID
“I’m happy that you’re okay too.” Sena's smile widened just a little bit more, and hugged him back.
