"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."1098Please respect copyright.PENANAbKHx05zEaz

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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAZhdBptdMAA
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAOpJ24SWTSe
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAi0MxneewWb
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAStHOeYR3z4
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAuWPFSwznO7
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAm1QxuMzbCZ
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?1098Please respect copyright.PENANAQb5w8YCfeg
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAmywgnLOkkL
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAziDy9FrcfK
1098Please respect copyright.PENANANg1574tG1D
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?!1098Please respect copyright.PENANAFjJXQfilUh
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ5tJJmz25
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAsnRDEglYJ7
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAwroA7MFWOw
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-1098Please respect copyright.PENANARQlkejFZih
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAkJMS7bndg0
“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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAVXmPJ999Xb
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANA4PD8W0RoVA
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAHQexIjCSLP
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAzaP3N55TYV
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAXkb50U2UU8
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANASARUNje5iA
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAOFQt1FvWqf
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAtDVfsOZyAD
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA48tAySGiM6
“Uh, who?”1098Please respect copyright.PENANAOO3bxg3g1r
1098Please respect copyright.PENANArAV8KOPJ49
“PERCY, WHERE’S PERCY.” She snarled at him. Gripping the collar of the guy’s t-shirt then she shook him.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAWjMBbzS2TZ
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAdoXP9ucMmA
“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-”1098Please respect copyright.PENANAypoHau4OUd
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAzGUh6CeJPf
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANA21f5U6IRnc
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAdrZq7MMY48
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAjwl88QCS8V
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAWDpcRlaT02
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANA6XA8Wc2021
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAM4fp3Xccwh
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAadzXHb2gZ7
1098Please respect copyright.PENANARxrUJd5ref
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANASKOaxUBGmt
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAH7ZMsq5RRL
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAYL0TBpzFzJ
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAzNKr5bvAxI
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANA9bBDlQYClz
1098Please respect copyright.PENANANrnpsn1doi
"Let me go!" She snarked at him. Squirming and struggling more violently than before.1098Please respect copyright.PENANA6bxgBjQFpI
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAjZHEzj7xNS
"Whoa, whoa, calm down there. There's no need to be violent–"1098Please respect copyright.PENANAj445B1nKsY
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAndHE568W5c
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANASLahz3coEo
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAX445D7QSlf
"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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAZSoHzJwyp9
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAEHcysraap4
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANA65W3aMze5D
1098Please respect copyright.PENANApKD9bmQ5Cp
“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.”1098Please respect copyright.PENANAyjJWZfWsKZ
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAWHfalX0AZQ
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAc6hRs5VlLf
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAE4luIxnWwW
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?!”1098Please respect copyright.PENANAGdegICxpbc
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAjpw2UUGHTu
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANANWQDLq3hIG
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAIgKwMG6iOM
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?1098Please respect copyright.PENANAOhLA8ptKth
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAmHhvxyotwq
What on Earth.1098Please respect copyright.PENANA1wLwhRrpek
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAedgYdm0hVT
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAzub0BYQHxE
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAxofCJu6vIT
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?”1098Please respect copyright.PENANAMjNHPlexAk
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAoxJ1yFg3pb
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANArhqO5LRi3Y
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAZChmlIveeL
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANA3PmIebKd65
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAhynQZibmEI
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANA96SFPpuMlD
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAU7I4Yruy4k
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.1098Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ47FEsmdf
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAXvNarLBXy8
“I’m just happy that you’re okay.”1098Please respect copyright.PENANADSu7DjGZWF
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAfGuuskK5Co
“I’m happy that you’re okay too.” Sena's smile widened just a little bit more, and hugged him back.
