I'm Not Normal! (Undertale)

Chapter Seven: Obvious

"Stupid. Stupid. Barrier." I hit my head on the table to every word I groan out. I look up and around my room, looking at the different sheets of paper hung around my room. I roll my chair over to a piece of paper that might just help me break through the block that I'm struggling with at the moment. I bring out my soul and measure it carefully, making sure not to mis-read it,
wanting a highly accurate result. I grab another piece of paper and write down the results.

Human Soul
Height = 5.1cm
Width = 3.2cm

Monster Soul
Height = 2.5cm
Width = 1.3cm

I work out the volume of the souls, working out how much determination it would take for it to break the barrier. I multiply the volume by seven, how many human souls it originally took to break the barrier. I walk into the hallway and walk towards the computer room; turning on the quick computer, letting it load as I grab some pieces of paper. As soon as I hear the computer load up, I start to search up glass jars for sale with the correct volume that I need with the overall volume of the human souls. I find one with a small amount of space extra. I could always just measure out what I need in the jar and then just draw a line where it the right amount would be.

A few days pass by quickly. The glass jar arrives at our door. I thank the delivery man, open the box, taking all of the foam and bubble-wrap out id the box, leaving a medium-sized jar in the other-wise empty cardboard box. I take it out and place the jar in the corner of my desk.

I sit on my chair in my room, leaning back in it, I bring out my soul, I pick up the small injection tube from the clean box and place it next to my soul, slowly pushing the needle in, I pull out exactly 0.03ml of determination from my soul. I place the determination in a small to medium glass jar. My hands go shaky, just enough for me to see and feel it.

I walk downstairs and watch TV with my mum. She's already answering all of the scientific and mathematical questions. I start to answer them with her. One question that interested me and mum comes up. 'What is the barrier now made of?'.

Everyone on the show looked as if no one knew. The answers appears on the screen.
'A: Chemical determination
B: Monster souls
C: Fire'
I grabbed a notepad to write down the answer. Everyone chose 'C: Fire' I shake my head as I think it's the wrong answer. The correct answer flashes up as 'A: Chemical determination'. I smile. A though passed through my head 'Out-determine the determination' I run up the stairs and write it in bold wingdings and circle it with a highlighter. I place it next to the glass jar containing the determination. I look through all of the work that I have done in trying to break the barrier and look at one wall with notes about the two kinds of souls. 'Human Soul: Consists mainly of determination, however, different traits can be within this soul. Determination can be refilled by doing things that the human likes' I look across at the next page along 'Monster Soul: Contains determination, doesn't refill as quick as the human soul. 1 week for 1% of determination.'
"So I could use determination from both souls?" I speak aloud to myself. I clean the needle and place it next to my soul, ready to extract from the monster soul.

"Georgia, are you ok? You've been up here for a while." My mum states as she walks in.
"GEORGIA ARIAL CORONA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Mum shouts at me, placing the needle down onto my organised desk, I calmly reply.
"I'm out determinating the determination" I say. She thinks for a mintute, looking at all the work I've done. My mum takes the needle off the desk, she inches it towards my soul.
"How much?" She asks me.
"0.03 Millileters" I reply back, she squints and extracts the correct amount of determination, releasing it into the jar - the bright red liquid looking as if it glows. I absorb my soul again and go to sleep, still being able to feel my hands shake a bit.

I wake up and get ready for school, I look in the mirror and see a black line running from the bottom of my left eye. I get a make up wipe and try and rub it off - it doesn't. I sneak into my mum's room and place foundation over the top until it cannot be seen. I blend in the make up to make it look natural. I get in the car, ready to go. Mum driving me to school. I get out of the car and go through the gates. Heading to my first lesson, it feels like everything is just getting on my nerves, the noise of the corridors to a simple door opening. I sit in science and write down everything I should. I notice a mistake in the board.
"Sir? If E=mc squared then wouldn't the answer be 25.7049?" I ask him. He checks on a calculator. "Yes it would. Did you use a calculator?" He asks me. I shake my head. "Lets see..." He looks under the desk, staying under there, looking at the different skirts and trousers the girls are wearing. Luckily I wear trousers. I swing my leg towards him and he suddenly stands up. "No calculator... Well done Georgia." He says. I keep quiet. The bell goes an I walk next door to Miss C. Dreemurr's classroom, she has no class.
"Hey Georgia. You ok?" She asks, I nod. "You aren't speaking, something's wrong."
Nothing is wrong, just the fact that Billet was looking up the girls' skirts in science just now I sign, Chara gasps at the fact I just gave her. Frisk walks in and gasps straight away, she runs over to me. "Georgia? What is that?" She asks me, I shrug. She grabs a baby wipe and wipes the make-up off.

"Georgia, no, what is this?" She asks again, I shrug.
"I genuinely don't know" I explain, Frisk decides to explain to me what it is. "When Gaster, or your dad, lost some determination through research, he gained crack like those in his face. Have you lost any determination? Because once you have them scars in your face, you never get rid of them?" I nod my head.

"How come?" Chara asks at my response; I explain my research to them both. They understand but tell me to stop. Of course, I won't. That's want the scientists who made the barrier want. For us to give up.
Knowing that one day you will break the barrier
Fills you with determination
"Ok, so that just dissappeared!" Chara shouts out of the blue. Frisk looks at me again and smiles. "So it has." She smiles. "That was close Georgia. Please don't do that again, I mean I knew something was wrong because you're going a bit pale." Frisk tells me.
"Last night I extracted determination. Like I said before. But I didn't say that it was from both souls. So which one do I stop extracting out of to make me feel better?" I ask Frisk is saying both of them and trying to persuade me to stop.
"Wait, if it was your monster soul that you extracted determination out of and you got that crack, an it's only human souls that get filled with determination. What happened then?" Frisk asks. I shrug once again an think. "Maybe my human soul decided to give a bit to the monster one." I suggest, Frisk nods.
"Sounds like a decent explanation." She smiles.
Chara goes on her computer and starts looking it up. "To keep them scars off your face, I suppose you can keep doing it with the human one." She says, looking at her computer.

"CHARA!" Frisk shouts. "I want her to stop for good!" She explains. I show them my soul and they see whether anything has changed.
"I can't see owt wrong" Chara says.
"I can! The red in your soul isn't as red as it was before. The red being determination." Frisk says.
"And you notice this with amazing eyesight?" I question. She nods in reply.
"I do have 20:20 vision; last time I checked anyway." Frisk chuckles.

"What did you two do over the weekend? " I ask the two, quite curious at what they get up to when they aren't at school.
"Just marking books, like every teachers does." Chara chuckles, Frisk replying with a similar answer.
"What about you? You said you were going to climb Mt. Ebott, then said 'no' to it." Frisk tells me. I look at Chara and she catches me looking at her, her eyes go surprised then squint slightly.

"You did it, didn't you? You went Underground." Chara questions me. My edges of my mouth curve upwards, growing further into a large smile.
"I found him." I tell the two, finding it hard to speak because of me smiling.
"How is everyone? I'm guessing you saw Flowey, Toriel, Sans and Papyrus." I nod.
"I also met Alphys. Undyne seemed nice after she battled me, thinking Sans was fighting for me." The other two gasp as if I shouldn't have bumped into Undyne. "But we're friends now, so it's all good." I tell them and they sigh in relief.

The school bell rings for the final lesson of the day. I walk off to it. As the lesson starts, many pupils have their heads on the desks. I open up the text book and read all of the information, writing down the important details with a few diagrams to show how a specific thing works as I patiently wait for the final bell to ring to signal the end of the day, where all the students can go home.

The bell finally rings and the students all rush out. I walk at my normal speed, walking behind the tree then proceeding to teleport home. I see Mum stood with a piece of paper.
"Georgia. Where were you on Friday after school?" I don't hear what she says completely And just reply with a shrug.
"Did you climb Mt. Ebott on Friday? - by yourself!" Mum asks worried, I nod, placing my bag down on the floor. "Why did you? How did you get back?" Mum asks me.
"One. I did it to find my father and, two, I have both of the souls it allows through if absorbed together, which they are." I explain to mum. She smiles, she comes up to me and hugs me.

"You know most people do it to end their lives, you know that, don't you, Georgia. And that even if they do surive, they're badly injured." I hold my arms and hands out.
"Well, I'm all fine, still alive and well. My back aches slightly, but I'm alright." Mum insists that I show her my back, so I do and she gasps.
"Georgia! It's all bruised! Following all down your spine. That's dangerous, Georgia. Don't do it again, please." Mum asks, worry in her words and tears in her eyes.
"I won't, Mum. I promise." I smile at her, she smiles back. "I met him anyway. He's really nice, all the monsters are! Why are they still down there?" I ask Mum, but she tells me that she doesn't want to answer and I accept it.

I lie on the sofa, straight into my back and it doesn't hurt. I think for a moment.

The blasters I have, one of the monster parts about me, had to be passed down through my Dad. My Dad's name - Gaster.

I'm calling them 'Gaster Blasters' now.
