Fairytale - An Undertale AU

Chapter 14 - A Good Person

Ink looks at me, a hand on my arm. Blink a couple times, I start to stand again. Stumbling, Ink catches me. Anna's memories tumble into my head. Pushing my hair back, I look at Ink. His eyes meet mine and he gives me a look of hurt. Stepping away, my eyes are wide as I look at him with the new light Anna gave me. His looks away, turning around and walking away.

"Go," he says.

"Bu-"

"Go!" he yells, looking back at me with eyes full of rage. Heart throbbing, I nod and teleport away. Once I open my eyes, I realize I'm somewhere new. Somewhere dark and lonely. Glancing around, I see papers hand's from strings. Where is this? Slowly, I take a step. This place has a ground at least. Walking through, my heart begins to race.

"Hello?" a deep raspy voice says. My breath hitches as I realize where I am. Error's place. Glancing around, I try to locate him. He rests his hand on my shoulder and I jump. Turning on my heel, he gasps. Stepping back, a look of shock crosses his face. Suddenly, I feel something in my hand. Looking down, my eyes widen. It's a basket of food. Anna must have done this. "Wha-"

"I-I'm sorry. It's just that you looked lonely, and I thought you might want someone to talk to," I say, looking away. What am I saying?! He's the enemy! What am I doing here anyways? Error glances around, panic in his face. Right then, I notice it. What she was talking about. There was pain and sorrow etched through out his face. The loss of losing someone in your hands. Looking down at my own, I sigh, knowing just how that feels. "Look, I know if you want me to leave," I murmur.

"N-No!" he cries. Shocked, I look up. "I mean, I don't want you to leave," he says.

"U-Um, ok," I say. Tension fills the air. He looks at the basket then back at me. I can see it in his eyes. He thinks he's hallucinating. And it breaks his heart. Sighing, I look at him and grab his arm. He gasps. "I'm not fake. I'm here," I say, looking at him. His eyes widen as he looks back down at his arm.

"How did yo-"

"I just know these things. Anyways, why don't we have some food," I say, smiling at him. He slowly nods, walking over to where I laid my blanket. His eyes glaze over all the food as I set it out onto the blanket. I have to do this. Not just for me, but also for her and him. Sighing, I cross my legs and look around.

"Um, I don't think Ink would like you being here," he says.

"So?" I retort, looking at him. Our eyes meet, and for a split second, I feel something. An emotion I can't quite describe. He looks away and down at the food. Sandwiches, salad, and sweets lay before us. Heart pounding, I look around. "It's quite dark in here. Why don't we lighten it up," I say, raising my arm. Colors appear, dancing all around us. Error looks at them with wide, awed eyes. A smile crawls across my face as I make the grass and sun in our blue sky. He looks back down at me.

"Why are you doing this for me?" he blurts.

"Because, I, well, um," I say, stumbling over my words. The feeling comes up again, the pang in my chest. It's her, I know it's her. She want's to take control. Should I let her? Slowly, I stand up. "It's because Anna is in me. Her soul," I say, resting my hand on my heart, "is residing in my body." Error stares at me with wide eyes, shocked.

"H-How did, what?" he says, looking at me. Sighing, I close my eyes.

"It's me!" she cries, in her voice. Her looks. Allowing her to take a control was the only thing that felt right. Running over to Error, she runs on him, laughter in her voice. His eyes are trained on m- I mean, her. Tears begin to brim on the edges of them as he hugs back. It's warm. She looks at him. "Hey, why are you crying? This is supposed to be a happy thing!" she says.

"I'm so sorry," he sobs. My eyes widen.

"For what?" she asks, resting a hand on his shoulder.

"For killing you! I'm sorry for starting the war! I'm sorry for hurting your family, I'm so sorry," he cries, gripping onto her. She seems shocked, only to smile. He blamed himself. For everything that happened, he blames himself. Looking down at my hands, it hits me. They don't blame each other, they blame themselves. Walking over to him, she rests her hand on his cheek. He looks up at her with wide, watery eyes. Suddenly, I switch back into control. Anna's soul barely had enough energy to stay in control for three seconds, let alone that. He looks at me, noticing the change. Looking away, he sighs. Quickly, I pull him into a hug as tears run down my cheeks. He's shocked as I sob into his shoulder.

"Please, promise me. Promise me you will never blame yourself again," I sob, my arms wrapped around him tightly. He rests his hand on my back, eyes still wide with shock. Her sorrow, her pain, it fills me. It's all I can feel as I cry into his chest. It's all I seem to know. He hugs me back, tears sliding down his own face.

"I promise."
