Undertale: REWIND

Failure

And then, before I knew what was happening, I was tied up and thrown into the pond to drown. Heh. I wish I did ...

Feeling returned into Frisk's body and they quickly sat up, gasping for air. Once again, it felt like the wind had been knocked out of their lungs. They held their head which was pounding harder than ever.

What was that? Was it a dream? Whose voice was that in their head? They were confused and lost. They were pretty sure they weren't hearing memories ... After all, Asriel and Chara were still alive. This voice was new ... They felt around to make sure they weren't still half-conscious. They felt the golden flowers, the hard ground, their pinch on the arm. Okay, everything was working.

Wait for me, Asriel. Frisk thought as they stood up slowly. I'm going to save you and Chara both.

They ran past the Ruins, past Froggits and Moldsmals ... only stopping at Toriel's Home to pick up Chara's diary and the red haversack. Then, they got out quickly and headed for Snowdin.

The cold air hit them like a punch. It was near impossible to run through Snowdin Forest when a blizzard was on the way. Once again, Frisk felt the curious stares on their back but paid them no heed. They had to fix their mistakes in their last run quickly.

Then they stopped. But they did do a reset after all ... there was no reason to think they were running out of time. Feeling guilty for being so self-occupied, they turned back and helped out the Gyftrots and other monsters in the area.

After leaving Lesser Dog (whom Frisk petted for 10 minutes straight), they crossed the bridge to Snowdin town. For the second time, they saw a badly disguised trap on the ground and a pile of snow at the corner.

They giggle in spite of themself, knowing already, what was going to happen as they cautiously stepped around the trap.

"HEY!" The skeleton jumped out from the snow.

They run over to hug Papyrus again who asked if this was some sort of sneak attack.

Sometimes, starting all over again wasn't so bad with great friends like him ...

There he was, his brother being a kind of doofus, trying to capture a human with his traps. He on the other hand, just keeps making awful jokes.

"Sans! What did you do?!" Papyrus cried angrily after getting electrocuted.

"I think the human has to hold the orb." He said, trying to suppress his laughter.

Then, that scene disappeared and faded slowly to darkness. There was a flash of blue in his left eye and suddenly, he found himself looking at a human child, filled with hatred.

"On days like these, kids like you ... ."

And then, he raised his hand, attacking the child before they could even react. In approximately 5 seconds, he had killed them. He felt a strange sense of both justified anger and fear, staring at the bloodied mess on the floor. Somehow, he knew that he would have to re-live this fight again.

Then that scene faded to darkness. Sans was back to looking at himself in third person, staring at a door at a cave. He knocked twice.

"Who's there?" rang a voice.

"Toby."

"Toby who?"

"To - by (be) honest, Snowdin's not so cold if ya don't have skin." He snickered.

The voice on the other side of the door laughed too, albeit a little forcefully. He tried another joke, and then another, but the laughter on the other side sounded less enthusiastic with every bad joke and pun. So he decided to ask what was up.
