Echotale - Thought So (G!sansxFrisk)

The Yard

*Frisk's POV*

When G stopped beating me, everyone went back to their cells, so did he.

Though Bella didn't.

She told the closet guard and he took one look at me then took me to the infirmary.

Bella had helped me after all.

Though I do wish she would have done it sooner.

Then again, it was possible that G would have hurt her as well.

I walked back into my cell, my nose bandaged and bruised.

I didn't need to see my reflection to know how bad I looked.

Bella's face was enough, her sharp smile strained and weak, as if she was trying too hard.

"... I know I know..." I said in my confident voice, as if the whole thing was normal.

Though my insides mashed inside me with embarrassment and regret.

Ever since I was in the prison all I had felt was regret.

Every move I was going to make would be regretful, and I knew there was no way around it.

"No no! You look.... Uhh..." I could see Bella's struggle with words, and as her mouth hung open it was difficult for me to look away from the slick, sharp teeth.

"You do not have to elaborate. I know what I look like," I shrug and sit next to her on the bed, my face turned away from her, preying she can't see my failure.

What was I thinking back then?

Of course she could see my failure.

She watched me fail.

I suppose I was just thinking about how stupid I was.

How stupid I am.

"... That isn't such a bad thing," Bella finally said as she looked at me, her head tilted to see my face.

I continued to hide it and whispered, "I'm a fool, Bella. I should have just kept my mouth shut."

"No! You were wonderful! I don't think anyone has ever stood up to him like that! Or even talked to him for that matter. You were brave," Bella said as she weakly smiled at me, her sharp teeth hidden with thin lips.

I appreciated her effort in making me smile, but it didn't change the ache in my soul and heart.

"... That wasn't bravery, that was anger," I explained turning to face her slowly, as if when she sees my face she will slap me across the face.

"It was still bravery. And I am sure people will look up to you now," Her words sounded true, they sounded right, but how could I accept something that might not be truth, since nothing is true in prison?

"They will ignore me."

"Not an issue."

"I'm a target to G now!"

"He wont try that again after what you did."

"I wont try what I did again after what he did."

"Then there is no need to worry about him doing it again."

I growled low and laid back on the bed, my nose feeling pressured and weak as blood flowed under my skin.

Silence filled the room, and I didn't need to look at Bella's sharp smile to know she won our argument.

"... I can't help my fear, Bella," I said after a while of emotionless silence.
