Predator and prey...

POV CHARA

- It's a beautiful day outside... birds are singing, flowers are...

What the hell is happening!? I question myself as I see a memory of Genocide. Am I dreaming...? I need to wake up!

- ... on days like these kids like you... SHOULD BE BURNING IN HELL! - Sans said with a grin on his face.

I don't want to fight him! Never again! I promised myself I won't hurt him anymore. I tried to move but I couldn't. I only could observe as my own body moved on its own.

- NO! STOP! - I screamed but it was no use.

I watched as past me battled Sans. It must be my first Genocide... The look on Sans's face is... it's before I broke him... I clenched my teeth. My blood was boiling because of the anger I felt. Finally when the battle was about to end. Sans has closed his eyes pretending to fall asleep. I saw myself doing a final strike. I had enough of watching I decided to interfere. I got myself close to me from memory and touched myself. To my surprise, it worked. It was as if I entered the body from memory.

I knew what I had to do. I looked at Sans he is still "sleeping". I looked at the knife I held in my left hand.

- Even if this is just a memory... I swear I won't hurt you ever again. - I said with tears in my eyes as I took a swing and stabbed myself in the stomach which resulted in my waking up from this fucked up dream.

Because of the shock, I screamed a little when I woke up. I was having problems with catching a breath but I didn't put much attention to it. Firstly I examined where am I. I looked at the walls. From the design, I could tell I'm currently at Gerson's shop. "What happened?" I questioned myself as I noticed bandages on my body. Also, the fact that my sweater was not on me made me a little anxious. I decided to move off from a bed and look around the shop to see where Sans is.

I slowly got up. My wounds weren't healed yet but my determination was already taking care of that because of it I was able to move without much pain. My head was a little dizzy but it didn't stop me from searching the shop. I looked for my knife in case someone is close. Luckily it didn't seem to be stolen. The knife was laying on the floor next to the bed. I picked it up and went to the doors leading to the second part of the shop.

As I opened the door a horrible sight welcomed me. Sans was laying in a pool of blood on the floor right next to the entrance that was blocked by bones. Immediately I rushed towards him.

- Sans!? Sans!? - Filled with panic I tried waking him up but my attempts were unsuccessful.

I looked at his body, blood was coming literally from everywhere. His legs, arms, chest even his mouth and left eye. I never saw him like that before! It's bad, extremely bad! If I won't do something quick I'll be having a pile of dust instead of my partner.

Shit! Chara think! Bandages? No, it won't help him now. Fuck fuck fuck...!? What can I do!? I took a deep breath and tried to calm my mind to think of a solution. There must be a solution! Right!?

That's it! Determination, but how am I supposed to do it? There's no time to think this through with each moment my chances of saving him are getting smaller.

- Okay, all or nothing... - I put my hand on Sans's chest.

I gathered determination in my hand and made his soul appear. His soul... what happened to it? It turned out from a light blue color to completely black. It's cracked and unstable... from the cracks is coming a blood-like substance... what the hell? I don't have time to think about it.

I grabbed his soul and tried to give my determination to it. To my surprise, I didn't even have to send the determination myself. Sans's soul begins to drain determination out of me by itself. It scared me a little but I let it do its thing. The amounts it drained were enormous. It was as if the soul was a starved predator greedily eating the prey that it just caught. With seconds I was getting more and more exhausted.

I started to sweat and my eyesight was getting blurry but it didn't stop me. I don't care if my determination is being swallowed by some kind of predator as long as it will help Sans I will do it! As I was on edge of losing consciousness because of determination drain the soul stopped. I looked at it as it was making the cracks on it heal itself in a matter of seconds. The color of it also changed a little from pure black to a darker shade of crimson.

I breathed with relief. Whatever I just did it helped his soul recover. That must also mean that his life shouldn't be in danger anymore. I felt happy about what I accomplished but at the same time, I felt strange anxiety. While I was giving determination to Sans I felt like a... prey... I felt dread go down my spine. I know that Sans would never consider me as some kind of prey but still at that moment it felt as if I was being... devoured by him.

- Snap out of it Chara! - I slap my cheeks getting out of my train of thought.

Now that his state is stable I should cover his wounds but first I need to take him off this floor. I prepared myself to drag Sans onto the bed. To my surprise, he was much lighter than I anticipated I think that makes sense after all he is a skeleton. Once I placed Sans in bed I looked around for bandages there must be some left right? All of them couldn't be possibly used on me right...? I searched all around the shop but I didn't find any bandages. Damn it Sans you should have left some for yourself, you bonehead!

Suddenly an idea popped into my mind. I take out my knife and cut the sleeves from my sweater. I use them to cover Sans's both arms but it wasn't enough for the legs or his chest. At least It's better than nothing... I'm tired extremely tired...

- I need to rest but I can't if I go to sleep we will be... v...vulnera-ble... damn it body why are you not listening to me! - I say under my nose as I'm about to lose consciousness.

With the last ditch of power, I make myself lay next to the Sans and I hug him from the back.

Well if someone is going to kill us while in sleep at least we will die like a couple~ - I giggled a little while my eyes closed...

I fall asleep...
