Eliza's View:
* What do you mean, Ellie?

* You bypassed the rules and replace yourself with Sofia, only to make yourself happy. Why not make me happy?

Well...she made a point.

* My dear, you know how dangerous he is...

* We're all dangerous! Especially you.

* How am I dangerous?!

* You can control time, control people, I mean who knows you could be casting spells right here!

* Right Ellie, that's enough.

* What are ya gonna do if I don't stop? Control me?!

* Of course not!

* You only use your magic to your own advantage...

Ellie started to walk out of the house.

* Ellie, wait!

Her eyes went pink as she turned around to face me.

* I don't know why I bother to listen to you.

She opened a portal into a new timeline, holding her scythe. I couldn't let her go back to her old ways... it would only hurt her! A purple barrier blocked her way.

* Ellie don't do it, we've talked about this, you can't keep on hurting people!

* You hurt a lot of people, and you don't seem to help or regret it in the slightest.

"Guys c'mon, we can talk this out!" Grim said.

Ellie slammed the door behind her, she had already gone.

* She makes a good point.

I turned around to see Mia.

Victoria's View:
Eliza left her house wiping tears off her face and went into snowdin forest. She went to her usually spot, laying down in the snow with her eyes closed. She began to talk to herself, and so I listened closely.

* You guys, I'm fine! At this point, you're the people who keep me somewhat sane..

I used a spell to enter her mind.

* Why don't you- Oooo new Eliza!

* Victoria?!

* Nevermind, not an Eliza.

I raised my hand casting a spell and the other Eliza's froze in their place. Eliza stood up, undoing the spell.

* Stop!
Eliza yelled, angrily.

I could feed on her anger, on her frustration...my plan was working perfectly.

* Or what? You gonna control me?

Eliza glared at me.

* Gladly.

She raised her hand when I changed her mind setting. She saw me as Ellie.

Eliza's View:
* Ellie?!

She stabbed her scythe into the ground, people falling in pain.

* Ellie, STOP!

I tried to override her fear magic but it was no use.

* You can't do anything about it. =)

She watched people dusting, I had to take action. I teleported to her, blasting her away from her scythe. She grabbed a purple soul near her and expanded it, making sure she mirrored my every attack.

* Ellie you're going too far!

* Try to stop me.

I had to...I needed to stop her from doing something dangerous! I stared at her, filling her mind with commands. She knelt to the floor, holding her head.

* I-I'm sorry Ellie...but I can't allow you to do this-!

I reversed her 'irreversible' mistakes, she screamed, telling me to stop. But I couldn't. She tried crawling away from me, mumbling something I couldn't quite hear...how much killing had she done in this timeline?!

* St-S...

She passed out and I stopped. I blinked and realise I was in the chair...around the table...

* You really are a villain like me, Eliza~

All the other Eliza's had Victoria in their arms, making sure she didn't escape.

* Ellie...why did I see Ellie?!

* You put her in her place, of course.

I needed to find her.

I went out of my mind, blasting Victoria into my void and locking it tight. I ran to where the fight took place...and Ellie was laying on the floor.

* Ellie?!

I ran to her and she grabbed my hand.

* W-Why...

* Victoria I-she-

Ellie's soul lay next to her. I realised my terrible mistake. When I reversed it...I reversed too much... taking the energy from her soul...

I began to heal her weak soul but it wasn't working. Panic rose through me. I looked at her soul and it seemed fine but she herself was feeling exhausted.

See what you've done?
You're a danger to those around you.
Look at what you've done.

* Ellie..? Ellie wake up!

Hours later...

Asgore angrily told me the punishments I would be facing for causing such mayhem in his precious kingdom. I stood in silence, listening.

* Be gone. Your house arrest begins now.

I teleported home and sat down. Ellie was resting in New Home.

"You alright? You look sad!" Grim asked as he jumped into the sofa.

* Haha yes.. I'm on house arrest for a week.

Zir's head turned to face me.

* What? Why?!

* I...I hurt Ellie. Accidentally though!

Emily, Tord, and the cat turned to face me.

* How can you accidentally hurt someone?

* Emily, I don't really want to talk about it...

A few days later...

I was washing the dishes when I looked outside to see Aurora. What was she doing here?

Aurora's View:
I smiled at Eliza, she knew I was up to something but she couldn't stop it~! I placed Victoria's device on the snowy floor, switching it on. The magic of those around me drained out of them, entering the device. Eliza opened the window and yelled at me.

* Aurora, what are you doing?!

I ignore her and continued. Surprisingly, she rushed out and used magic to stop the device, I dropped into my portal... leaving her to be framed for this.

Eliza's View:
Guards started to rush towards me, this was bad. I used magic, creating a blinding gas around them as I ran. Aurora had just framed me!

* ELIZA STOP!

More guards started to chase me, I open a portal ahead of me to the afterlife but before I could reach it, a tranquil dart stabbed me right in the back. Everything started to go blurry but I was so SO close to the portal. Someone grabbed me as I blacked out...was I too late?
