~~~Chapter 5: Not Yours to Keep~~~

Sans' POV

Shit, shit, shit!! The kid was gone!! One minute she was there, and the next she was sprinting away like Asgore himself was after her. Sans had teleported to where he thought the kid would be, but for being so small, she was pretty damn elusive. He cursed under his breath, scanning the white ground for footprints, but found nothing. Another storm had started shortly after Crys bolted, and now it had covered all the tracks he could have used to find her. He groaned in frustration, rubbing an eyesocket. This kid was gonna be the death of him...

A shrill scream interrupted his thoughts. Sans' eyelights snapped to where the noise had come from, and in a blink he was there. He spun around, frantically looking about for Crys, and came face to face with Error- the Sans that was well known for destroying AUs and battling Ink Sans. Error looked caught off-guard for a moment, before his grin widened and his face settled into one of neutrality. "W̵e̷l̶l̷ ̷h̴e̵y̷a̵.̷.̷ ̴D̴i̶d̴n̴'̶t̴ ̴e̷x̶p̸e̶c̴t̸ ̸t̴o̸ ̷s̸e̷e̷ ̴y̸o̷u̶ ̵h̷e̶r̴e̶.̵.̶.̸"

Sans flexed his phalanges, restraining himself from strangling the glitchy bastard right then and there. His sockets narrowed at Error, his voice coming out a low growl. "Where's the kid?"

Error laughed. "I̷ ̷d̷o̵n̶'̸t̶ ̵s̶e̸e̵ ̷w̵h̶y̴ ̵y̶o̶u̸'̸d̷ ̶c̸a̵r̶e̴,̵ ̵R̷e̶d̷.̸"

"If you don't tell me where she is, I'll blast yer glitchy ass straight to the Void."

Error looked amused by his threat. "I̷s̷ ̴t̵h̵a̴t̶ ̴s̵o̸?̸ ̵H̴e̴h̷.̷.̴.̸.̷ ̷W̸e̷l̸l̵,̵ ̵i̸n̶ ̶t̷h̴a̷t̴ ̶c̶a̴s̷e̵.̷.̸.̷"

Error lifted his hand, and Sans became aware of the sudden humming building up behind him. He teleported out of the way as a glitched black beam of light seared the spot he'd been standing in a moment before. He let his red magic flow from his left eyesocket, summoning his own Gaster Blasters and firing them at Error. As Error dodged, Sans caught a glimpse of Crys laying in the- was that BLOOD?!

He teleported away from Error again, kneeling beside the kid and Checking her. 2 HP.... He was gonna fucking kill Error for this...

He used a barrage of bones to keep Error at bay while he fished around his jacket pockets for something, anything, edible to eat. Error howled in rage, and Sans barely deflected another blast from one of Error's Gaster Blasters. He found a single Monster Candy and quickly unwrapped it, fumbling with it before shoving it into Crys' mouth. Immediately, her HP went up, some of the gashes on her body healing. Although it wasn't maxed out, it was the best he was going to get right now. Sans picked her up and teleported behind a tree, hastily taking off his jacket and wrapping it around the unconscious child. He looked down at her before placing her on the ground gently. "Be right back, babybones... I gotta go dunk someone..."

Sans teleported again, behind Error. Error turned just in time to get a Gaster Blaster straight to the face. Error screeched and raised his hands to his face, fingers pulling on the blue strings attached to his sockets. Sans swore and teleported backwards as Error's strings lashed out at him. He tried to ignore the humming voice in the back of his mind that warned him that Crys could freeze to death, or get attacked by another monster while he was busy fighting Error. He couldn't afford to lose this battle.

It was only a few minutes later when another portal opened. This time, Ink Sans stepped through. He was dressed in his traditional brown attire, his belt of colors strapped to his chest, paintbrush in hand. While Sans hated to admit it, Ink was a very powerful monster, and he turned the tides in Sans' favor fairly quickly. Error vanished through a glitched portal with a final murderous glare at Sans and Ink with an angry hiss. Ink turned to Sans. "Well! That was odd! How ya doin', Fell?"

Sans grunted. "Fine, until that motherfucker showed up..."

Ink frowned slightly. "Why was Error here?"

"He's tryin' to kill a kid."

Ink's sockets widened into a shape that made it look like he was raising an eyebrow. "A kid? Was it a grey Frisk?"

Sans scowled. "I know who Core Frisk is, and it wasn't them. 'Ve actually never seen this kid... Wait here. I'll go get her."

Sans teleported away, and a moment later he reappeared in front of Ink, clutching Crys to his chest. Ink moved closer and examined her, frowning. "I've never seen this human before in any AU.... Where is she from?"

Sans shrugged. "Dunno..."

Ink frowned again. "Fell, listen.... Error's been going crazy on the AUs the past day."

"So?"

"So.... I'm saying that this kid might be the reason Error was attacking so many AUs. The residents of the attacked AUs did say he kept telling them to 'give him the kid'."

Sans stared at Ink. Ink sighed and held out his arms. "Fell, just give m-"

"N O."

His growl made Ink pause. Ink frowned. "Fell, the AUs are suffering! Error will stop attacking them when he gets that kid!"

Sans snarled, gripping the tiny human child tighter to his chest. "Yer seriously gonna give that fuckin' psycho an innocent KID?!"

Ink glared at him. "Fell, her AU is probably already gone! She's not yours to keep!"

Sans hissed again. "I found her, an' she has nowhere else to go. You can dig her outta my DUST if ya want her that much!"

Ink sighed in frustration. "Fell, you've met this kid, what, ONE day ago?!"

"It doesn't matter when I fuckin' found her, what matters is yer tryin' ta sacrifice a goddamn BABY to that asshole!!"

"A single child shouldn't be above entire universes, Fell!"

"You can take yer universes and shove them up yer pelvis, fucker!"

Sans teleported back to his room before he did something rash and attack Ink. The last thing he needed was to seriously piss off Ink, if he hadn't done so already. Crys shifted in his arms, and Sans looked down at her. He quickly set her on the bed and teleported downstairs to get more food for her to eat. He tried not to think about how willing Ink was to sacrifice Crys to that glitchy bastard without even knowing what she'd gone through. He began healing her back to her full HP, focusing on the problem at hand. Once she had been fully healed, he gently removed her from his jacket and tossed it into the pile of dirty clothes in the corner. He could wash it out later. He picked her up and laid back on the bed, resting her on his chest. He could hear her heartbeat- faint, but even and strong. So peaceful... and calm.... He sighed, running his phalanges through her tangled hair. He'd deal with the consequences of pissing off Ink and Error later.... Right now he needed to sleep. He closed his eyesockets, and fell into a fitful slumber.
