A Tragedy (Sans x Frisk)

Chapter 8

SANS POV

Walking out to the warm and cozy living room. The comfort this would normally bring is lost on me. The goat walked past the living room to a dining table sitting and resting her head on the table. My guess is to calm herself. I sat across from her smelling the wonderful pie that now can only make my stomach churn. This feeling can not be explained. I've never had to answer the questions I know she's thinking. The questions that I've never thought I'd ever need to explain. She won't even understand... how will I make her understand... Frisk if only you weren't hurt and if only your plan could have worked out but now we're gonna have to play it by ear. For the underground's future, our friends' future... our future... I can't back down now. Even if this scares me...

After a while of silence the goat lady lifted her head gently off the table her fur slightly damp by most likely the tears that must have fallen but if only I had remorse for her. The goat lady took a deep breath most likely preparing her words carefully before speaking. "That child how do you know her? How is that possible? She's only just fallen here and there's no way that she got passed my hus- the king before. I would have remembered!" She was babbling like a baby with no end in sight. Words just spilling out of her mouth repeating the same questions and words like even her own brain wasn't believing what she was saying. Soon the words fumbled to sounds "I...I...I couldn't... I wouldn't... I can't believe I did that." She completely broke down into sobs. I sighed, even though I was angry with her she at the end of the day is my friend. I walked to the other side of the table and sat in the seat next to her and put my hand against her shoulder.

I said, trying to comfort Tori "Hey, I know you didn't mean to just take a deep breath and calm down. I'll explain everything to the best of my ability." She looked a little unsure still but more ready to have information dumped on her but even so I still waited for her sobs to subside before I went to try and explain the weird world we've ended up in.

I started with explaining what resets were. It was the only logical starting point. "So Tori, so... how do I explain this?..." I didn't know how to explain this without any sciencey words... I got it!!! "So do you know the weird deja vu feeling you've been having. The feeling that this has all happened before. The weird aching feeling you had when you met Frisk?" Tori kind of gasps and stares at me like she can't believe what I'm saying, her mouth was open speechless. I waited a minute to see if she'll respond, no words still came out so I continued, "You get that feeling because it really did all happen before, it's called a reset. A being that has an extreme amount of determination can reset the world from a certain point. It's like when you restart a video game from the beginning or even your last save. It's a special power that many people in the past has.. had, Frisk is just the current one." She still stared at me fish faced, she must be hanging out with Undyne.

I waited till she had the courage or understanding to respond, it took a while. It was almost killing me to wait. She finally spoke saying, "This is all a bit hard to believe, You can't expect me to just believe the words you have spoken the moment they leave your skull do you? How can you prove this?" I didn't expect her to believe me right away, I don't exactly know how to prove it though. I could tell her something that happened in the future but she might just think I made it up but before I could even respond a door slammed behind me. I jolted up to my feet my magic flaring, hand raised glowing the blue embers that seem to be my new reality, already sweating from anticipation. Why am I so threatened, it's probably just Frisk. Why am I so scared of what's gonna come around the corner? I heard footsteps, they weren't even, one foot was hitting harder on the floor then the other and the steps were spaced apart. It's Frisk, I dropped my magic and ran towards the hall. I turned the corner and saw Frisk limping down the hallway stopping to breathe heavily. I ran to her lifting her uninjured arm around my neck stabilizing her. "Frisk are you ok? Why are you up and about? Let's get you back to your room." I pleaded with her to turn around. She didn't say anything and she didn't really budge in the slightest. I looked at her face seeing closed eyes and uneven but calm breathing. Was she sleepy walking? Instead of walking her back to the room I continued to walk in the direction she was heading letting the sleeping? Frisk guide me. Before we could get to the end of the hall, Tori turned the corner. The moment she saw Frisk she bent down and rushed her with a hug before I could stop her. Frisk's eyes shot open and her arms slowly engulfed Tori, well the best she could anyways. Tori started to tear up but what was more surprising was that Frisk broke out into sobs.

"Mom I'm so sorry!" Frisk blurted out between sobs. Toriel let go of the hug for a second to look at Frisk and say "It's alright my child you did nothing wrong, it is I who hurt you." Frisk screamed "NO, you DON'T UnderSTAND!, I hurt dad, Asriel, and now I hurt you! I can't be forgiven!" Toriel and I stared in shock at Frisk, well that isn't Frisk. "Frisk?" I asked in confusion. She seemed to ignore me and stay crying and looking at Toriel saying, "I never got to apologize, I thought you and dad just forgot about me! No one ever said anything about me before!" Toriel responded confused saying, "Child I don't understand what you are saying and what this has to do with my late son but please what do you mean?"
