Fear's Backstory

"ASGORE IS DEAD!"

Crowds gather around Undyne as she yells out. 

"W-What do you mean dead?" I ask. "Asgore can't be dead!"

"Well, he is." Undyne stabs a spear into the snow. "That damn human killed him."

The monsters in the crowd gasp. I hear some mutter curses, some start sobbing, and some just don't react.

"Toriel has taken over." Undyne goes on.

"Her?" My brother looks up. "She's been in the Ruins for years! Does she even remember how to rule?"

"Well, she has to." Undyne scowls. "We all depend on it."

~~~~~~~~

About a year after Toriel took over, everything began to fall apart. Sections of the Underground are now starving because Toriel doesn't know how to rule.

Snowdin has the worst of it. Our soil is too frozen to dig into, and we can't plant anything. We have barely anything left.

Waterfall, of course, is thriving during this time, with its rich, moist soil and perfect temperature for crops to grow. But Undyne won't let anyone pass through. If people from Snowdin want to get to Hotlands, and vice versa, they have to take the boat.

It's not very ideal. My brother's gotten sick, and we can't treat him. We need food. We've already lost so many monsters due to starvation.

"Where are you-" My brother coughs. "Going, F-Fear?"

"To get you something to eat." I growl, slinging a giant axe over my shoulder.

"But-" He coughs again.

"Just stay here." I walk out of the house, growling. "If Undyne's gonna keep all the food to herself, she can kiss my ass as she turns to dust."

I walk to the edge of Snowdin, and I stare up at the barbed wire gates that Undyne set up.

"Tch, she's lost her mind." I teleport tot he other side of the fence. My feet land in a puddle of water. "Actual food, here I come."

"HEY!" I hear Undyne snarl. "GET OUT OF HERE!"

She runs up to me, a spear in her hands. Her hair is messy, and her eyes are wild. She's truly gone insane.

"Not until you give us some food, Undyne." I growl, readying my axe.

She lets out a low growl, and as I raise my axe, I feel something hit the left side of my skull. Pain floods my entire body, and I fall to the ground. I look down, seeing blood drip thickly, coating shards of bone that have fallen to the ground.

"Get out, Fear." Undyne snarls. "Don't make me kill you."

My vision blurs, and I stagger upwards. I blink the blood out of my eyes as my head throbs with agony. I turn and teleport back to Snowdin, where I collapse in the snow, unconscious.

~~~~~~~~

"B-Brother...?" My brother looks up at me as I walk into the house. My head is wrapped in bandages, yet it still hurts like hell. "What happened..?" He coughs.

"...Undyne.." I drop the axe on the floor and sigh. "I couldn't get anything..."

"I-It's ok... Fear..." He whispers.

"NO IT'S NOT!" I snarl. "I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU DIE BECAUSE SOME LITTLE BITCH IS BEING TOO SELFISH." I start to get dizzy, and I sit beside him. I start to sob. "I just... D-Don't wanna lose you.."

He struggles to sit up, and he coughs. "Sans..."

"I told you to stop calling me that."

"I don't care." He grabs my hand softly. "Don't think about that right now. I... I think we both know I'm-" He coughs. "Not gonna make it, but.."

"N-No, you have to." I grip his hand tightly. "I-I'll force her, I'll-"

"Stop."

"I-"

"Just come here."

He pulls me into a hug, and I break down, sobbing.

"I can't lose you..." I whisper.

"You can live without me, Sans." He murmurs. "You'll be fine."

~~~~~~~~

I'm not fine.

My brother died a week ago to starvation.

He was FINALLY starting to get better.

But the hunger got to him before he could heal.

I'm losing my mind.

"W-We're all gonna die." I whisper, staring at myself in the mirror. My eyes are wild. My skull has healed, though nothing can fix the gaping hole that took out my left eye socket. I can't see very well through that, now. "We're all gonna starve to death down here..."

An overwhelming amount of anxiety hits me, and I blink. It's so strong, I feel like I'm being stabbed in the soul. I snap my fingers to go see who's feeling these emotions.

"W-What the-" I look around as the sunlight blinds me for a few moments. "This... Isn't the Underground...?"

My nonexistent stomach growls, and I run to a nearby store, forgetting about the person with all the anxiety. I may or may not have stolen a sandwich, which earns a small rock to the back of the skull as I run out of the building.

I look to my left as another wave of anxiety hits me. I run through some nearby alleyways until I come across a skeleton curled up in the corner of an alley, trembling. The anxiety seems to be coming from him.

"You look, uh... Upset, bud." I kneel in front of him, speaking quietly. "Here." I break off part of the sandwich and hand it to him. "Mind if I sit with you?"

"W-W-Who are y-you?" He asks, voice shaking as he bites into the sandwich.

"My name is Fear." I rub his knee softly. "You don't look so good. What's wrong?"

"T-T-T-They're a-all dead." He sobs, burying his head in his arms.

I pull him into a hug. "Hey, it's alright."

"N-NO IT'S N-N-NOT." He pulls away, summoning two sharp, red bones and aiming them at me. He lets out another sob, and they dissipate. "I j-just w-w-wanna-" He lets out a half laugh, half sob. "I d-don't even k-k-know what I w-want."

"Well..." I pull my knees up to my chest. "Why don't I keep you company while you figure that out?" What's yer name?"

He's silent for a while before speaking.

"...J-Just c-call me C-Craze.." He mumbles.

"Alright." I rub his shoulder gently. "What do you say we stick together, hm? You look like you could use a buddy."

He sniffles and nods, resting his head on my shoulder as he finishes the sandwich. "T-Thank you..."

"Of course."
