I Look up mustering the strength to see a wide, toothy-grin on his face. He wears a blue hoodie, a white t-shirt underneath, black shorts with white stripes, and a pair of slippers. His eyes empty but with a single dot in the center assuming its his pupil. His stands over me; his shadow covering me entirely I'm unable to make out what monster he is. He stares down at me, and with a slight drawl and creepy voice, he says,

???: ... You should be careful, H U M A N... Lazing and sleeping around could get you caught by the royal guards. And not to mention... You can get really hurt.
Polly: Haa... Haa... Heh, I'll be fine.

I get up using the tree as assistance, I walk ahead; past him. "What's happening to me? This feeling... it's similar to when I had those memories and that "Zell" guy in my head," I contemplated. Swaying a little from side to side as I walk to see up ahead a bridge across with a gate too wide to stop anyone. As I do, that very person follows right behind me.

???: You know... I'm supposed to on watch for humans and capture them.
Polly: Really? Haa... Haa... Well, i'm vulnerable, right now.
???: Yeah, but I don't really care about capturing anybody but now my brother, Papyrus... He's a human-hunting FANATIC.
Polly: Should I be afraid?
???: Fear is subjective in this case but me personally, I think you should. He's a very, scary, and awesome, guy.
Polly: ... Ha, I don't believe you-Erk!

I make it to the bridge and lay against the gate's pillar. I get sudden flashes of memories, I hold my head. "Memories..." I thought.

???: Hey, human, 'you okay? Your lookin' a lil wobbly...

Here's an enhanced and grammatically corrected version of your passage with improved visuals:

A memory flickers in my mind like an old VHS tape. I see a kid with long silver hair and a flowing green scarf, standing on a wide, snow-covered wooden bridge. The bridge stretches over a frozen river, its icy surface glimmering faintly in the winter light. Then, I notice a small hand—my hand, but younger. In it, I'm holding a snowball, and just as I'm about to throw it, the silver-haired kid runs up and pelts me with one first. The impact knocks me down into the snow, but I scramble back to my feet quickly. Just as I prepare to retaliate, the memory freezes and shifts.

Suddenly, I'm somewhere else, watching two children laughing and playing at a picnic, drawing and coloring. Then another memory flashes before my eyes—a weight in my arms. I'm carrying an unconscious child, tears slipping from my eyes, falling one by one as I struggle to keep going.

Before I can process it, the memories fade, and I'm left standing in a space filled with nothing but darkness. A voice echoes around me, pulling me back to reality.

??: You're weird... You peek into things that have nothing to do with you...
Polly: Who are you-
??: It's not your fault either... Truly, you are pitiful.
Polly: Just tell me who you are!
??: Remember the name of who is true... And the origin of your strength... Chara, "The First Fallen Human."
Polly: So, that means your the one in Toriel's book.
Chara: ... Before you go you should know... Beware the man-
Chara's voice is cut short when I hear Mani's voice calling my name.

Mani: Polly... Polly...! Polly!
Polly: Beware who!?... W-what... Mani!? Where's Chara?
Mani: Chara?... Oh! The kid in the book! But... You met them?
Polly: Was it a dream perhaps?

I contemplated for a moment and saw the figure appear in front of me again but this time his pupils disappeared and the stuck and still wide smile on his face.
