I Fell, You Picked Me Up

A/N: This is told from Chara's perspective. A bit of a theory of my own is thrown in the midst.

...................................

Falling, falling, falling...

I came to die, but you found me. You brought me to a new home, accepted me as part of a new family; your family.

I always wondered... what did I do to deserve such a caring mother, a passionate father, and a loving brother? All were new to me. You were all different from me, you were another species that my kind called 'monsters.'

But how come I got along with you the best?

Was it because I was a monster, too? Like what humans called me when I fled?

But you were all kind, you all had a spirit different than mine...

It was what I wanted to have. I wanted to be happy.

But that happiness eluded me, no matter how hard I tried to grasp it. I couldn't feel things the way you could, the way anyone could.

I thought differently, tainted by the world as I was. I was the dark things humanity tried to hide, the insanity they all feared.

I just wanted to escape it.

I thought I could stay forever with you and be a family. But all I wanted was to erase.

By any means necessary. I couldn't erase myself from existence the first time, so that's why I... why, I...

It was all an accident, the first time. I didn't mean to make him sick. We were both in the wrong, but I remember euphoria bubbling up inside me. It made me laugh when he was sick.

I found a way, through a simple mistake...

And so I did it, and I should say "sorry," but there's a big part of me that refuses to apologize.

You should have left me to die the first time.

When I learned that I would be able to merge our souls together, I used the DETERMINATION that he told me about. That shady monster, the one that had been around so much until...

What was his name? Ah, yes, Gaster.

I remember feeling my lungs burn, and how I clawed at my chest trying to breathe, but my organs stopped their functions. That was when I felt it leave me, my spirit - my SOUL. And I was able to bond with yours, and we became one.

It was so easy to control you, but it almost felt like I was the one being controlled. My mind, my emotions...

So our powerful body moved closer to the humans, and I knew they would strike us down. Our only choice was to completely erase them.

But you refused. You were against me in this, and I felt like the foolish one then.

Of course you wouldn't. You were too weak.

You were a very loving brother, after all.

So you were able to take control, and I felt our SOULS shatter when you turned to dust.

But... my spirit still lives on. That unstoppable drive that fuels me... is YOU. You are the one that keeps bringing me back.

Why can't you let sleeping demons lie?
