Love in Lowercase

Chapter 2: Alive Again

Chara could hardly believe it. She was alive. She was back on the surface, years and years after she had climbed Mount Ebott. She had loved living with the Dreemurrs, and they had accepted her as one of their own. Now she lived with Toriel again, back on the surface this time. It was... A mixture of feelings. She hated humanity. Her parents hated her, her friends hated her, and she hated herself... but then she met more humans. Sure, it hadn't really been face to face, since she was dead and casually floating around, watching and helping, but she had still gotten to know a bit about them. All of them seemed nice, like the girl who was incredulous about her SOUL, or the boy who sounding like he was speaking in tongues because of his accent. But those two had barely shown any of their personality to Chara. Their soul traits just didn't align as well with hers, so they couldn't hear her as well was her guess. The cowboy had died fighting Mettaton, getting his spine kicked in half, and the really confused about her SOUL girl had bean skewered by Undyne. That was possibly the worst thing Chara had ever heard. Her scream of shock as the spear plunged through her chest, and her breathing getting raspy and shallow as she leaned over, blood spilling into the ground. Even now, just relaxing in the cool bedroom Toriel had set up for her, she shuddered. All of these kids met a more unfortunate end then her. But some of them were worse, since they could her Chara, and and she got to know about them through their talking, or their way of FIGHTing and ACTing. The girl with the tutu who had been unfairly and unreasonably killed by Sans in the Judgement Hall, despite her lack of murders, or the glasses wearing boy who ending up caught in Muffet's webs and getting his neck snapped. The ribbon wearing girl who was killed by her own adoptive father, and the bandanna sporting boy who had accidently gotten killed by Papyrus and bled out in the snow, possibly also dying of hypothermia. And then there was Frisk. A young girl with Determination, like Chara, and a heart of gold. Chara guided her, and Frisk managed to free the monsters, like Chara had wanted to do. On her way back through the Underground, when Frisk reached the flowerbed where Chara was buried, Chara told her that. Frisk dug up Chara's own body, and used her Determination to resurrect her. Chara didn't know how to feel about that. She hated humanity! Why was Frisk so nice? She decided to wall herself off from Frisk, and hope that Frisk would forget about her, like everyone else did.
