Chapter 25a: Voices

Sans opened his eyes. They were still dark and void. He sat up on the bed and looked at Serifa sleeping.

''You killed her.''

-W H O ' S   T H E R E ?

He looked around him suspiciously. He saw nobody.

''You killed everyone, didn't you?''

-W H O ' S   T A L K I N G ?

''You know you did it.''

Sans summoned as many bones as he could and filled the room with them in an attempt to scan it for invisible enemies.

''You can't kill me!''

Sans finally recognised his own voice.

-W H A T   D O   Y O U   W A N T ?

''You killed everyone!'' ''You killed your friends!'' ''Papyrus died because of you!'' ''You only bring pain!''

-S H U T   U P .

''Undyne went crazy by killing Papyrus because of you!'' ''The spiders died!''''You killed Alphys!'' ''You lied about Asgore!'' ''You killed your King!'' ''You killed Royal Guards!'' ''You went against your own kind!''

-S T O P   T A L K I N G   T O   M E !

''You turned into a real monster.'' ''Monster!'' ''Murderer!'' ''Killer!'' ''You only destroy.''

-G E T   O U T   O F   M Y   H E A D ! Sans shouted, waking Serifa up.

-Sans...? Who are you talking to..? she yawned.

''Whose fault is it?'' ''It's all her fault'' ''Yeeeees, her fault!'' ''She turned you against everyone!''

-Sansy...? Are you okay...?

Serifa approached Sans and tried hugging him, but he pushed her away.

-D O N ' T   T O U C H   M E .

-What? Why...?

-IT ' S   A L L   Y O U R   F A U L T .

''That's right!'' ''She did it all.'' ''She is evil!''

-What did I-

Sans suddenly tackled Serifa down and put his hands around her neck.

-W-What are you...

''Go for it.'' ''It's all you're good at.'' ''Destroy her!'' ''Destroy evil!''

Sans's grip started to get tighter.

-Sans...? This... S-Stop...!!

''She's the source of all the trouble!'' ''She's the source of all the pain!''

Sans tightened his grip even more. Serifa could barely breathe, let alone speak.

''That'sit!'' ''You're doing well, Sans!'' ''Keep going!'' ''End her!''

Serifa was chocking. She tried to kick him and fight back, but she couldn't.

''Only a little more.'' ''You'll be free after this!'' ''More human souls, more human souls!!''

Serifa's eyes had teared up. She tried pulling Sans's arms to make his grip looser, but to no avail. She couldn't even move them at all. He was too strong for her.

''End it all Sans!'' ''You're doing so well!'' ''This is the right thing todo!''

Serifa had started feeling dizzy. She looked into Sans's empty eyes. This wasn't Sans. But he had to be in there somewhere.

''You'redoing it!'' ''Almost over!!'' ''Almost there!''

Serifa,with what little strength she had, lifted her arm up and held ontoSans's cheek. Her senses were getting weaker and weaker.

''She's trying to trick you.'' ''Don't pay attention to her!''

The hooded figure was watching and suffering in silence, unbeknownst to everyone.

''Just a little more, Sans!'' ''You can do it!''

Serifa's tears were falling as she felt her life being choked out of her. She caressed Sans's cheek.

''Good job, Sans.''

Serifa's arm dropped as she lost consciousness for good.

Everything went silent. Sans couldn't hear anyone anymore. He got out of bed,leaving Serifa behind. He was neither sad nor happy. He was feeling nothing.

Ashe walked to the door, he tripped over Serifa's ice skates. He remembered watching her dance on the ice. He remembered kissing her.He remembered the fun they had with Papyrus. He remembered exploring Snowdin with her. How awful she was! All this time, she was tricking him, exploiting him to survive! Oh, what a terrible creature! Yet...why was he crying?

The girl who never wanted to harm anyone. Who always begged him not to kill. Who sacrificed herself for him to escape Undyne. Who gave herself up at Grillby's to prevent bloodshed. The girl who always brought peace and light in his mind.

Sans's eyes finally returned to normal as he realised what he had done. In horror, he ran back to her. There were red marks all around her neck.

-NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!

Sans shook her. He pressed her chest to bring her breath back. He kept trying and trying. Nothing happened.

-Come back, come back...please come back...

He checked her pulse. She had none.

-I'm sorry... Just...come back... Please... he cried.

 But Serifa was long gone. And, this time, it was completely his fault. He looked at his hands. These hands that had killed so many people,ended up killing the one he loved as well. Shedding more tears, his left eye flashed.
