(A/N: Some of this will & won't be in Frisk's POV. I like changing it around as I go.)
Frisk POV:
"So, you'll save them? All the monsters? And you won't let me see Sans again?" I shivered as I whimpered out the question, starting to become encased in snow.
"You got it, Partner. All you have to do is agree to let me take control for just one time line, and everyone will be happy," the voice came out, sounding overly gleeful.
I thought it over, as I glanced around, seeing the blizzard slowly start to lighten up. A fresh batch of tears started rolling down my face at the realization that Sans wasn't looking for me. He was probably still with a Muffet, touching her the way he had touched me, telling her how beautiful she was. I let a sob break through, as I pressed my numb hands to my face. I knew I was being ridiculous. No other relationship had ever worked out. Why would this one.
I nodded vehemently, "Yes. Yes! I agree! Please, just... I don't ever want to see Sans again!"
The laughter that was before very giddy and childlike had now become dark and twisted. I focused, imagining the reset button in front of me, and sighing as it appeared. I had once promised Sans that I wouldn't ever press this button. A pang of pain struck my heart, as I remembered him promising he only loved me, and would always love me.
"Just press that button, Partner. And this will all be over. As the comedian word say, ahaha, another one bites the dust." Chara laughed again, that same disturbing sound escaping.
I sighed and gave in. Pushing the reset button made me feel like I had just done something terrible, as I started being pulled away from my body. The sensation of losing control over the body that you've inhabited for the past 20 years is something I'm not sure I'll ever forget. It started with toes and fingers going even more numb and limp than before, them moved up to my limbs, torso, and finally head. I couldn't even feel my body, as it fell to the floor.
"Wow. I didn't think you were actually gonna give in that easy, Partner. Man, this is gonna be fun," Chara said, as they stood in my body, before starting a new save file; a new timeline.

I opened my eyes to an empty living room, sitting up and groaning, "What the fuck happened?" Looking around, I realized it was the skeleton brothers' house. I started to stand, before my shaky legs gave out and I fell back on the couch.
"you were out for 3 days. paps was starting to worry you'd fallen," Sans spoke, and I could almost hear the smirk in his voice, as I jumped and screamed.
"Mother fucker! Was that really necessary?" I growled, glaring at him behind me, while he tried to stifle his laughter.
"what? did i rattle ya there?" the skeleton walked around the couch and sat in the chair he had placed across from me while I was out.
"Ugh. When can I leave?" I glared at the floor, not wanting to fall into playful banter with him, especially since I knew how painful it would be for me to continue my quest. "I need to go see the king."
"sorry, pal. not until i find out just who the hell you are," I recognized the tone and knew that if I looked up, I would see two hollow eye sockets. "i've got a bone to pick with you, buddy. you see, the last time you were around, everyone seemed to just drop dead. actually, what was really the problem was how stab happy you were."
I felt a weight slam into my stomach, as I recalled vivid memories of me slashing through Toriel, stomping on Papyrus' head, stabbing my knife into Undyne's heart, and most graphic of all: Sans sending bone after bone into me. "I... I'm not here to kill anyone. I just... want to help."
"you can help by telling me everything. who are you? why did you kill everyone? what do you know?" The questions sounded angry, as if he was trying to force me to spit out answers that I, myself, was still trying to find out.
"I... I'm Frisk. The human. I killed everyone because..." My mind drew a blank, although Chara giggled softly from the depths of my mind, forcing me to feel the dust that once coated my hands. "Because I could. And because I could, I... I had to. I was... bored."
I saw Sans stiffen, as I told him what he had said to me in the previous timeline. He was silent for a few minutes, before sighing and leaning back into the chair. As I looked up, feeling the weight of tears in my eyes, I saw the blurry outline of his smile.
"I... don't know anything. All I know is that I want to save you. And I am so... SO sorry," I shakily whispered, hearing Chara growl angrily, as I shoved them into the back of my mind. I was determined to not let them take control, no matter what. I would not let myself grow weak again.
"okay. fair enough. well, do you... remember anything before the previous timeline? anything about me? or paps or anyone?" I could tell Sans was desperately searching my expression, but I kept a poker face, as I shook my head.
"All I remember is killing. And before that... I don't know. It feels... monotonous." I saw disappointment and pain flash almost too fast for me to realize what it was, in his expression, before he nodded. It was silent for a few minutes, as we both sat there, him trying to tell how honest I was, and me trying to not break down and cry over my guilt and pain.
"well, spaghetti is in the fridge. and papyrus is inviting over a friend," he spoke, standing and stretching, before walking towards the stairs. He obviously wanted to get away from me, which I wanted to do, as well. If I could.
I cocked my brow, as I finally heard what he said, wondering what friend it could possibly be. Someone from Snowdin, maybe? After my encounter with the jester, I'm a little wary of Snowdin's people. "Do you mind my asking of who?"
"just a gill he knows. you might have been herring about her from Papyrus?" His expression told me that he was back to using his puns, as I tried to decipher his words.
Fish puns? Who looks like a fi-- "Wait, Undyne? She's coming over now?"
A nod from him was all the response I got, before the front door was nearly knocked down, and muffled yelling was on the other side.
"OPEN UP! LET ME SEE THE HUMAN!" She sounded just as terrifying as when we first met. I know I was planning on dying, but by the hands of Undyne?
The door opened, as she walked in, looking around angrily, before finally settling on me, as she started advancing, Papyrus hot on her heels. "Shit."
"FRISK, LANGUAGE!"
