What Went Wrong?

Chapter 17

"TORIEL! ASGORE! IN HERE QUICK! IT'S ASRIEL!" Undyne was screaming when Asriel staggered into the Throne room.

Mom an- I don't deserve to call her that- no... Toriel and Asgore scrambled into the throne room. When they saw the shape Asriel was in the gasped and knelt down beside him. Undyne knew it wouldn't be wise to barge in so she closed the Throne room door and guarded the entrance to the castle.

Asriel whispered to me... very faintly, "Chara? Chara, it would have... never... worked..." My eye's widened into huge ovals and I could feel our souls slowly disconnecting.

Toriel was crying again whispering to Asriel, "It'll be okay, it'll be okay." I felt my heart crumple. He was dying and there was no way to stop it.

This was all MY fault. Then I realized something. My soul was still attached to my body. My soul wouldn't shatter but made me stay by my body at all times. My souls was attached to the most determined thing in the Underground, and in this case, that was me. I wasn't combined with Asriel anymore. Asriel must have done something to make my soul go back to my body so I wouldn't die too. He was back to being my brother again that wore that same green and yellow striped shirt. It was torn because there were arrows and spears still stuck to his body, he was trying to rip them out. I wanted to hug him so bad but I couldn't move away from my body. It felt like I was stuck in a jail cell, I was floating above my body but I couldn't move.

Asgore was trying to get answers from Asriel, "WHY DID YOU GO TO THE SURFACE?! WERE YOU ABLE TO TALK TO CHARA WHILE YOU ABSORBED HER SOUL? DID YOU LET HER SOUL GO? DID THOSE NASTY HUMANS ATTACK YOU?!" To the last question Asriel nodded and a tear slipped down his check. Asgore looked furious. He then knelt down beside Asriel and was whispering to himself something I couldn't make out.

Asriels HP was almost 0. It was dropping drastically. I tried screaming but nobody heard. I tried running over to them to hug them. I tried calling for help.... But Nobody Came.

I was helpless again and I collapsed beside my body and solemnly watched my brother die. It's then that I realized how painful it was to watch someone you loved so much die. And this was all my fault. I thought I could help the monsters but I only brought them more despair. Ghostly tears flooded down my face and for some reason couldn't tear my eyes away. The tears burned like hell... but the black inky tears never stopped.

Asriel laughed and winced in pain and whispered, "I love... both of you... so much. Please put my dust... beside Chara's grave... please. I would... never doubt... you... Chara..." His HP reached 1 and he screamed out my name, "CHARA!!!!" and then vanished into dust.

The weirdest thing happened, I was suddenly right beside Asriel. It was like I was summoned. The gentle winds blew his dust across the garden and Toriel couldn't hold herself up. Asgore cradled her as she wept so loud I could have sworn I felt everyone in the Underground heard it.

He was dead. I was dead. Now everyone's hopes and dreams were dead. And it was. All. My. Fault. If I were alive I would have killed myself. If I were alive I would have never have been so determined to live after death. I wished the void of blackness would consume me and for me to never return. I didn't cry anymore.

My eyes melted into a deep black color and my old brightly red glowing soul dimmed and turn a deep black. I stood up with darkness covering my eyes and laughed. I laughed so hard black liquid oozed from my mouth and dropped into the floor, but it's wasn't visable to the real world. I wasn't me anymore. I never wanted this to happen. I needed a new body. I needed to be corporeal. I had to fix my mistakes. I had to make my plan right! I'm going to set all monsters free, not anyone else but me! I want the power of the monsters respect and friendship! But first I guess I need to find out how to become corporeal. When I finally stopped laughing I noticed that I was back at my body again... stuck.
