Bad Dream

  Jane walks down the long golden-tiled corridor. "The Judgement Hall....." She muses. The concrete pillars lined up along the corridor, huge glass-stained windows in a neat row....with golden light flowing through them, each has the emblem of the kingdom of monsters....a winged circle hovering above three triangular shapes. 

  Small, familiar footsteps echo through the walls and pillars. A child appeared before her at the end of the corridor--- Frisk....He is holding an ash and blood-covered knife. 

  Three times, the bell sounds in the distance. 

 "So....you finally made it." Jane's mouth moved on its own despite all her fears. "The end of your journey is at hand. Was what you did....really worth it?" Something's wrong.....she cannot move, she tries to shuffle her feet....but something glued her to the ground. She tries to scream....nothing came out. "All those people you've killed.....my brother.....even Matt...." tears stream down her cheeks. "Was it......really.....worth it....?" 

  The child standing before her is no longer Frisk....they smile creepily and brandish their knife. They take a step forward. 

 "If I had to go back on the promise that I made you, so don't step over that line.....or else.....you're not gonna like what happens next." She exhales, her mouth curling up into a grin by itself. 

  The human takes another step, their knife gleaming in the golden light. 

  Jane sighs. "Sorry....old lady. Guess you want things the hard way huh....?" 

  The depraved, vile human child smiles. 

 "It's a beautiful day outside...." She closes her eye-sockets. "Birds are singing.....flowers are blooming, on days like these, brats like you....S H O U L D  B E  B U R N I N G  I N  H E L L !" She flings open her eye-sockets, her right eye glowing a dangerous red mixed along with purple. 

  The kid charges at her with the knife, yelling.....and misses. 

 "Missed me, CHARA-SITE." 

 "I. HATE. PUNS!" They slash at her and miss again. 

 "C'mon, I thought you love them." 

  Chara grumbles and attacks. 

 "STOP" Jane screams to the invisible force that's controlling her. And it stops.... 

  Chara doesn't miss this time, their attack hit Jane across the chest....red substance oozes out of the enormous cut. She clutches the wound and fall to the ground, pain.....is what she's feeling. She let out a soft chuckle. "It.....really hurts.....doesn't it? Luke.....do you want......anything......?" Pieces of her starts to fade away as she gives her last, trembling grin to Chara. And everything goes dark. 

  A small smiling flower appears. "Howdy, it's me! Flowey the flower. And don't pretend you don't know me." 

  Jane is back in her body, her fully functioning skeletal body. She doesn't smile when she sees Flowey. "What do you want?" She glares at him. 

 "No, you see.....it's not what I want....it's what you want....~" He gives her that fake innocent smile. 

 "What are you up to this time?" 

  Something wraps around her ankle and yank her off the ground. She exclaims in surprise. "Sh*t!" 

 "Tsk, tsk, tsk.....cursing won't get you anywhere, grinning trash bag." 

  Jane growls "You little--" A thorny vine covers her mouth. "Shiffm!" 

  "You really hate me....don'tcha?" Flowey laughs evilly as a red soul appears beside him. 

 Jane struggles as the thorns pierce through her bones. 

 "Keep struggling and it will hurt more." 

 "I. hate. y o u...." Jane growls under her breath, her mouth full of thorns. 

  Flowey points towards the soul with one of his leaves. "This seems familiar....does it not?" 

  Jane glances at it and her eye glows a violet color. "F r i s k . . . ." 

 "That's right. This is a soul....Frisk's soul, the power of DETERMINATION." 

  Jane struggles and struggles....the thorns grinding through her. "Don't you dare lay a single petal on him!" She finally manages to speak. 

 "Why would you care? He almost murdered you anyways....why even bother?" Vines start closing in on the small, red, heart-shaped soul. They look like they're about to hurt it. 

 "Because he is my FRIEND!!!" She yells as the vines stop. 

  Flowey chuckled "Friend? Remember that last timeline where he killed your brother....~?" 

 "Don't. you. p u s h  m e  . . . ." Her eye fires up a radiant glow of anger and hatred. 

 "Ohhh, I'm a little silly skeleton who's gonna kill a smiling flower...How p a t h e t i c." Flowey's friendly face shifts into a scary one, how it melts and reconstructs itself into a different shape.....disgusting.... 

 "You misunderstood me, S O R I E L." She smirks. 

  The thorns around her body tightens, Flowey looks annoyed. "Don't call me that. I'm just a soulless husk. Calling me my real name won't change anything." 

  The vines tangle themselves around the red soul, it looks like they're suffocating it to death.....squeezing life out of it. 

 "STOP! You good for nothing murderous flower....." 

 "Murderous? I thought you were the one, whose killing's the most bloodiest." 

 "Shut up!" She yells as she struggles to free herself from the thorns. 

 "And the way I see it, you are such a rad influence.....regarding how you 'bleed' to death." 

 "S h u t  U P !" A Gasterblaster aims at Flowey. 

 "Watch where you aim that.....you might hurt someone~*" 

 "As long as that target is you, I'll have no problem hurting." 

 "Well, well, well.....are you sure this target is me?" He laughs as the background brightens up, showing Jane's room. And in Flowey's place.....stood Matt. 

 "J-Jane......calm down....!" There's a frightened expression on Matt's face. 

 "M-Matt....?!" Jane realizes what she was doing and the Gasterblaster disappears. She drops to her knees and down onto the floor. "Oh god.......what did I almost just do......?!" She sobs, covering her face. 

  She's a monster......and monsters are dangerous.
