What Went Wrong?

Chapter 20

~Roughly over one hundred years later~

I was insane. I wouldn't deny it. My mind was corrupt and gone. I sometimes laughed at pebbles in the dirt randomly or I tell stories to myself, stories that had no ending or made no sense. Nothing ever changes. Toriel watered the flowers everyday during the late spring, summer, and early fall. Then during late fall, winter, and early spring I still feel her presents. She's the only one that shows up everyday without fail.

Sometimes that Flowey guy showed up and called my name, but I never talked to him. He seemed so lonely, I started to wonder how he knew me. I got to see my flowery grave, or sometimes the freshly fallen snow, or the crisp autumn leaves. Sometimes I even went a full year without being summoned. I wondered what life would have been like if my plan did work, or if I never did my plan at all.

Sometime I feel a thump on the top of my grave and then shrieks of pain. I always assumed it was just another human who fell down here... getting prepared to die or meet a horrible fate. I think I've felt five bumps so far. Counting the other dark blue colored grave that was already there the day I left the capital, that would be six humans so far, discounting myself of course. I'll assume that their all dead because I haven't heard from any of them again and heard Toriel cry about them every so often.

Like I said a while ago, I no longer feel anything. Hatred took over my life. For entertainment I magically mess around with bugs or slowly tear them apart. Or sometimes I move around my dead body and slash my ghostly knives around at imaginary humans. Until one fateful day... Something different finally happened.

I was doing the usual that day... tearing bugs apart with knives and with my hands. Then out of the complete silence I heard a high pitched piercing scream. You would think since I was stuck underneath the ground that I wouldn't be able to hear most things, but for some odd reason I heard nearly everything but most of the time it was muffled. Magic probably. Anyways I heard a scream that started far away then came close to my grave very fast. Then a thud and something hit my grave. Another human... Suddenly I felt something, my soul? I franticly looked up and I realized I was being ripped away from my grave and upward. My body disappeared from sight and I panicked. Then as I sporadically clawed at the ground to try to go back to my body until I came in contact with another being and blacked out for a moment.

I still don't see how it's possible for a ghost to black out, but at the time I realized something as I opened up my eyes and noticed my soul wasn't entirely mine anymore. I was stuck with another human. I tried escaping but I was attached to them I couldn't run away but I could feel their feelings and I could hear this persons thoughts. I'm sure they could sense my thoughts too, but I had no feelings so I wondered what they could sense that is mine. I remembered what happened that treacherous day, during Asriel and mine's finest hours. How we could communicate together, feel each others feelings, and know each others thoughts at all times while being one being.

This human felt pain and and they felt scared. They were knocked out from the fall, they fell head first... just like me. I wondered, who the hell is this lunatic?! Is this me? No. That's not possible. But they look just like me. You're insane, shut up brain! My questions started to pile up on top of each other.

After about a little less than an hour the human finally woke up. I was floating above them enjoying something other than blackness for the first time in forever. They had very low HP but they healed up with a bandage. They were lucky my flowery grave helped ease their fall and they didn't fall head first onto gravel and solid rocks like I did. Then they stood up and started walking forward. Since again I was attached to them I was dragged along with them whether I liked it or not. They some how still didn't notice me. They felt confused and curious. What an odd human.

They ran into the Flowey dude. The flower blabbered on for what seemed like WAY to long he tried to attack the poor kid. The flower then was finally taken out with a fire ball. I stared... It was... Toriel! She looked almost the exact same only taller! My heart ached for a second but I ignored it.

She said something to the young kid and took their hand and began to guild the child through the Ruins, literally dragging me along. I would try to dig my nails into the ground but they would phase straight through.

"Stop this RIGHT now you little human!" I screamed. I wanted back to my grave badly. I never expected to actually want to go back there!

It was either they didn't hear me or they just didn't care because they just kept moving with Toriel. "What's going on! I want back!" I sighed, there was no point in screaming when nobody could hear me. Then suddenly the human stopped and I heard their voice.

"Um... who's this?" They asked. "I can't see you! Who's talking?" They were turning and looking around franticly. A wave of fear rushed over them.

I remembered they couldn't see me. I wasn't thinking straight. "I am... uh... I am..." I wasn't going to give them my name... I'm remain anonymous, "You know what you don't have to know that right know! All you have to know is that I'm stuck with you until you leave the Underground. Until then you'll hear my voice whether you like it or not so... get. used. to. it." I said this all very sassily. I huffed and pouted.

I expected them to sass back but instead their determined soul glowed brighter and they smiled and told me, "Maybe once I'm left alone we can talk more. I would love to become your friend. I can tell by your voice that you aren't in a good mood but that's okay!" I rolled my eyes, seriously, they wanted to be my friend?! Ya, like I wanted to be their friend back, whatever.

Right after talking to me, they turned around and played with and spared a Froggit. I was shocked. I wanted to destroy everything. I was slightly angry but then I noticed that they were almost like the old me. I used to have hope, joy, and not as many morbid thoughts, just like this kid. But that was a very very long time ago. People change, and I changed for the worse.

Soon enough they reached Toriel's house. They smiled when they saw Toriel walk out of her home to greet them. Then when we went inside I smelt something I haven't smelt in forever. BUTTERSCOTCH CINNAMON PIE!!! I admit I nearly cried of joy at the familiar smell! Then Toriel grabbed they humans hand and walked them to Asriel and mine's old room.

I smiled. One bed was missing. I assumed they probably took one back to the new home that Asgore now lived in. They then walked around and investigated every little thing including our old closet and toys. Then finally they told me, "Goodnight! I'm going to go to sleep." And they sunk into Asriels old bed.

I slightly smiled. This kid was super nice. I decided maybe I should protect them. I had no idea where this idea came from I stood beside them and kept a watch out for anything that would cause harm to them. This didn't mean I like them, only that maybe they still have hope for going back home to the surface. A simple task right? Just get them out of the Underground and then I can return to my grave and be there in peace, or as close to peace that an insane person could have gotten.

While they were sleeping, Toriel walked in with a peice of pie in their hand and set it down beside their bed. She smiled down at them and whispered, "You look just like my child." Tears formed in her eyes but she blinked them away. She looked up and whispered, "I'll never forget you even in the darkest of times." Then she turned and walked out of the room and closed the door quietly.

I stared at were she once was, why didn't she say my name?! JUST SAY MY NAME AND SEE ME! I'M... NOT... DEAD! Then wiped my own tears away and went back to pouting.
