What Went Wrong?

Chapter 21

When they woke up I said grumpily, "Took you long enough! I never realized how long humans slept! At least this is more entertaining that tearing little bugs apart in the dirt."

They frowned at the last part and then asked me a question I hate answering, "So sense we will be together until I leave this place, will you please tell me your name o' invisable force?"

I rolled my eyes and the decided, yes, I'll show them myself and tell them my name. I evilly told them, "I want you to clearly say the name Chara out loud." They looked like they needed a good dose of fear before they continued, "Do it." I urged them.

"Chara?!" They called out mindlessly.

Then I felt myself change into a visible shadow and I giggled creepily so they would notice my presents. They turned and look me up and down. I was floating slightly above the floor and my red eyes was the only color on my ghostly body. They seemed scared by my odd, ghostly appearance and I saw the fear rush over them, but they seemed determined to greet me happily.

"So your name is Chara?" They asked. It seems we don't have to communicate though thoughts while I was visible to the human and monster eye.

"Yeah. I'm Chara, the demon that appears when you call its name." I shrugged and said as normally as possible.

"Demon?! How could you call yourself a demon?! I don't think it's to nice to call yourself names like that! No one should underrate themselves like that! I'll just call you Chara." They reached out for my hand but I didn't take it. Hey, it's not like they could have shaken it anyways, I'm a ghost! So they slowly put it back down and just gave me a little wave instead. "By the looks of your... shadow? You look like a human. Is that true?" They asked.

I rolled my eyes again but still kept calm, "Yes. I was once a human but killed myself for what I thought was for the good of others but turns out I screwed up and there is no way for me to fix it." I felt like I was ranting but stopped myself from saying more.

I didn't even say that much and they already had tears in their eyes! They wiped their eyes and said, "I'm so sorry! If you don't want to talk about it it's okay, but if your ever need to talk to someone you can talk to me!" They smiled and the it faded quickly and asked me, "Wait, why are you following me everywhere?"

I sighed, shook my head, and answered, "Well, to simplify this down, I was the very first human to ever fall down here... if I had to guess maybe nearly a hundred years ago I fell down here. I was the most determined person down here so when I died my soul stayed attached to my body. Then you fell down here and now you are the most determined person in the Underground and my soul is now attached to yours so I'm forced to tag along with you everywhere. Although I guess... I don't... mind it." I slightly smiled. It was good to finally be able to talk to someone other than little pebble or ripped in half bugs. Then I asked, "By the way what's your name?"

"I'm Frisk!" They waved their hand at me again.

Then I noticed I was slowly turning invisable again and I simply said, "I'll be by your side, I will talk to you through you mind. Until next time... bye." I waved them bye and disappeared. They smiled at where I once was until I was completely invisible again. They turned and put the Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie into their backpack and opened up the door and walked over to where Toriel sat but before talking to her, Frisk walked into the kitchen.

They opened up the fridge and I told them to definitely take the dark chocolate bar sitting in the fridge. They took it and look at the expectation date and it spoiled over ninety years ago. I laughed nervously and said, "What can I say! I forgot to eat it before I died... heh..." They laughed it off and put it back into the fridge. Then they went to go talk to Toriel.

When they showed how persistent they were to get out of the Ruins, Tori's eyes darkened a little and she quickly got up and ran down the stairs to probably go lock the door to Snowdin. I encouraged Frisk the continue on. We met up with Toriel and she started to tells us why we shouldn't continue. She solemn said, "Every human that falls down here meets the same fate. I've seen it. Again and again. They come. They leave. They die. You naive child... if you leave the Ruin they... Asgore... will kill you." I was too shocked to hear the rear of her speech. Asgore? Dad? He was... killing all the humans that fell down here? Did he kill all six of those humans?!

Then I looked up and saw Toriel and Frisk fighting each other. Well not full on fight but Toriel was attacking Frisk and Frisk was only sparing her. Her weak spot is a loving family which I suppose spare is in that general area. After a while the fight ended with Toriel hugging Frisk telling Frisk not to come back. She stood up and walked out of the room as Frisk sadly smiled and waved Toriel goodbye. I heard Toriel start to cry while running off upstairs.

"Ready to continue forward, Frisk? Ready to see the rest of the Underground?" I asked.

Frisk sighed and replied, "I'm gonna miss Toriel. But yes let's continue on."

Then Frisk walked over to the large, arched, purple door and opened it up. Dust flew off the top of the door as this must have been the first time in years it's been open. Then Frisk walked out and the giant door slowly closed shut behind us. I waved my goat mom goodbye, for I don't know the next time I'll ever see her. A small tear rolled down my cheek but I turned away and continued to help Frisk.
