Chara is lame (but kinda smart)

"Chara..." Sans growls. I get unnecessary flashes of pain and sorrow followed by a red piece of cloth in the snow and a reset button. Did she kill Papyrus?

"Hey, fat boy. It's been a while. How are you? Depressed, as always?" Sans grinds his teeth and clenches his hands into fists. Shadow is expressionless. Bolt groans, unconscious to the world around him. Chara laughs. She scans us, smiling evilly at me and Shadow.

-Don't let Chara know your the nice one.- Shadow says in my head.

-k-

I switch my stance, changing it from a shy sweetheart to the demon maniac stance I've seen Shadow use a million times. But I wasn't fooling Chara. I swear I was trying.

"Awwwwww..." Chara jeers, "You must be the sweet girl in the background, aren't you?"

"No, I'm not!" I say.

"Yeah, you're not fooling anyone. How many monsters have you killed?" she points the tip of the knife at Sans. I step in front of Sans, protecting him from her."

"No!!!" I yell. "Don't kill monsters, and monsters won't kill you!!!"

She laughs at me. "Naïve child. Kill all around you. They are ALL your enemies..."

"KILL OR BE KILLED!!!" Flowey says from behind her. With a laugh of triumph, he snaked his vines around Shadow, Sans and Papyrus, lifting them off the ground screaming and kicking. But he left me, to make fun of me...

"Beam..." Bolt says from his imprisonment. "You..."

"You are too precious for this world." Shadow says behind me. "You're too sweet and kind and honest. You could find the good in even Chara, who is lame, but kinda smart."

As my friends struggle against the vines, I stand weaponless against a demon of pure evil capital vile.

Fast as what you get when you mix Dragon ball z with what happens when my mom goes to karaoke night, Chara steps up in front of me, ready to kill me. I don't let that happen. Instead, I skid away, and grab a stick. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, its not like I have the guts to kill her.

I get hit. The world spins. Someone is yelling. When I get my senses back,  Chara let Sans free, only to kill him, possibly for more than the first time. Or the second, or the third...

This, feeling runs through me. It makes me shake. It's powerful, almost as powerful as determination. It makes me want to attack Chara. So I do. I jump her and attempt to claw her eyes out. I stop when I hear the sound of Sans protecting me.

-Don't.- I hear. -Don't be like her. Don't stoop to her level. You're better than her. You jumped in front of me to save me, even if you were the one in danger. You wouldn't kill even if it was to save your own life. You, are the reason this world isn't already reduced to rubble. Thank you.-

I stop. The words he thought directed to me because he believed in me instead of thinking I'm a freak. Chara growls and kicks me off, taking off, Flowey doing whatever Flowey does to get around.

Shadow frees Bolt and Papyrus does whatever he's doing. I-I'm not sure what he's doing. Okay I'm looking away. It's weird.

Sans staggers over to be and takes my hand, eye glowing blue. It slowly dissipates.

"Thank you for giving me determination." I say.

He looks at me. "No" he says "Thank you. For giving me something else to look forward to when I wake up in the morning."

I give him a hug. He gives a reason to live. We give each other determination.
