Determined Love (Charisk)

Chapter 16: The Accident

Frisk knew exactly which vents to step on to traverse the puzzle. Chara was having trouble, and kept stepping on vents that sent her back, frustrating her. There was no way she was going to let Frisk beat her.
Chara stopped moving to observe the vents around her to try to find a clear path to the end, when she saw three paths. One to the east, south, and north. "Frisk!" Chara yelled.
Frisk stopped moving and looked behind her. "What is it?"
"Which way are we supposed to go?" Chara said, still looking around.
Frisk noticed the three paths. "Oh yeah.." She said quietly. "Change of plans, Chara! We need to open another door, like the one before!" Frisk said, pointing at the giant door ahead of them, much like the one towards the beginning of Hotland.
"Well, which way are we going?"
"We should split up again, I'll go to the south, you go north."
Chara hated the idea of splitting up, and was worried something would go wrong. "Y-yeah.. okay Frisk." Chara started to walk towards the north, looking down.
Frisk ran towards the south, eager to get her puzzle done quickly and return to Chara.

*Frisk's P.O.V.*

I head towards the south, quickly. I know that Chara is going to be worried if shes by herself to long. I know she is a great person, and won't get into any trouble, but I still want to hurry. Ahead of me are self propelling tracks and blue lasers. I know all I have to do is stay still, and I won't get hurt.
       I step on the track and stagger a bit, forgetting how fast they move. I compose myself quickly so I won't get hurt by the lasers.
At the end of the track, I jump off and jog over to the puzzle room.
*Ring Ring*
I checked my Caller I.D.
*Alphys is calling*
I answer it.
"Hey!" Alphys says, "This um, doesn't have anything to do with guiding you.... but.. Would you like to watch a.... um... human TV show t-together sometime? It's called.... Mew.... Mew Mew Kissie Cutie" Alphys said, nervous.
"Sure!" I said, I loved that show actually, and wanted to watch it again with her, and possibly Undyne.
"R-really?" Alphys seemed happy. "Well, let me tell you about it!"
Alphys began to drone on about the show, and I sat down to listen.
When Alphys finished her long droning, I continued to the building. The puzzle was similar to the last square puzzles, with a final SHOOT ME square I had to figure out how to shoot. I could faintly remember this from the last run, so it took me a few tries.
I turned the panel every which way, making the regular squares dart around, until eventually, the path to the SHOOT ME square was clear. I shot it, and heard the familiar tune, saying I won, and left. I already miss Chara, and I want to get back to her as soon as possible.

*Chara's P.O.V.*

I hate being apart from Frisk, it makes me worry, but I decided to keep my head up, and quickly finish the puzzle and meet back up with Frisk. I jumped on the last vent going north and saw the building ahead of me.
I closed my eyes, and I started to feel dizzy, and my whole world became black. I thought I felt myself fall, but I opened my eyes ans saw something.. and on closer inspection, it was a particular skeleton, leaning on the building. I decided that was imagining things with the darkness and walked closer to the skeleton, just to make sure he was really there.
"heya kiddo, just checking in." Sans said, flipping a small bone in his hand.
Relieved I wasn't imagining things, I say, "Funny seeing you here Sans."
"how are things since our last meeting?" Sans said, not looking at me.
"Fine, I guess. Frisk and I are having fun." I said, wondering where Sans was taking this.
"no, i meant, how are things with you, kid. how's life knowing you can't kill mercilessly?" Sans said, his eye sockets loosing their pupils. "does it eat you up inside to know you can't rip into my friends like you once did? that you can't watch as they die at the end of your blade?"
I had tears in my eyes at this point. Why was he saying these things to me? I thought we started over. I couldn't respond, I didn't know how to respond. I just started to cry.
Sans summoned two Gaster Blasters on both sides of him, and chuckled to himself. "welp. sorry lady, this is why i never make promises." He said, pointing to me, making the Blasters move slowly towards me.
I didn't know what to do, seeing the Blasters advancing on me made me scared, confused, and sad all the same time, as they inched closer, I felt something else though. I couldn't describe it.
The Blasters got closer, and closer, and the feeling was filling inside me. No longer was I sad or afraid. I started to laugh. A sadistic grin reached across my face.
"NOT IF I KILL YOU FIRST SANS!" I yelled. I couldn't control myself, I sprinted towards Sans and tried to strike him, but suddenly he disappeared, and standing in his place was a Vulkin. I couldn't stop myself, and I struck the Vulkin as hard as I could.
The little guy fell to the ground, and started to cry lava. He had one HP left.
