My Guardian Angel [Chara x Reader]

Broken Promises

Tick.

Tock.

Tick.

Tock.

Have you noticed?

It's been a while since this story started, so let us think.

Time has passed, and whether you've noticed or not, the world has changed. You've changed. I've changed. These characters have changed.

Our actions change us, and the things around us, so let me ask you again.

Have you noticed what has changed?

Or has time slipped by you?

Tick.

Tock.

The future is something you set your will upon. Then the action that you take, that the people around you take. That determines if your future comes true.

Of course, it's not so simple.

Nobody is perfect.

A single misstep, one miscalculation can cost...

Everything.

Your future is like a feather that lies on a knife's edge.

A wisp of wind could send you soaring to what you desire...

Or spiraling down to oblivion.

Tick.

Tock.

Can you really say that you've forged your own path?

When you finally succeed in the goal you've been trying to achieve,

Can you really claim that accomplishment as your own?

Out of all of the factors in your life, can you really say that your actions are what fulfilled your goal?

Or perhaps, did you obtain it by chance?

A fortunate series of events that led you to this point?

Or...

Was it predestined? Is your life a woven tapestry that depicts all that has and will happen?

What about these characters?

Do their choices matter?

Or does everything lead to the same point?

Tick.

Tock.

Tick.

Tock.

Our time here is ending.

The sands of time have fallen.

The clock has reached the fourth hour.

The bell chimes.

Let us begin.

Chara's eyes fluttered open.

What time is it...

Sitting up, she looks around.

Everything was still dark, the night was unnaturally silent.

"Ugh..." Chara groaned as she flipped back onto the couch, trying to go back to sleep.
