Together Fallen (Complete)

Chapter 22 : Remeberence

Your feet come down on solid ground, and you open your eyes. You expected Grillby's, but appeared in Sans' living room. Luckily for your eardrums, Papyrus was out somewhere, supposedly on duty. Sans flashed you a frown, paired with a glare. You looked at him curiously again, completely unaware of the reason behind his looks. Then you think that maybe he thinks you reset. Of course if that were the case, you would remember. Right? You don't think you would do something like that. Your uncertainty brings guilt, and curiosity. But your thoughts don't get too far, because Sans starts the conversation. "So. You all don't remember Anything from last time?" You look at him, the words suddenly confirming your own thoughts. "No. But when we fell, me and McKenna sort of recognized the deja voo. We couldn't really be sure until just now." You say. Then Sans looks around the room. He looks at you, fear in his eyes. Your not sure why. "WHERE'S JORDAN!?!" He says nervously. You reply, curious at his reaction. "He wasn't with us when we woke up, but we all remember seeing him when we fell. Why? Did something happen? Do you know where he is?!?!" You start to rush your questions, extremely worried about Jordan. A nagging feeling crawls up your spine, and suddenly an image of a pile of DUST fills your minds eye. You shake it off, anxious now. Sans looks at you, and he realizes what he needs to show you. "I know how to make you remember!" He says. He grans your hand, and neither of you blushes. You feel a tug at your heart, but it feels so natural, like it has been goimg in for weeks. He drags you out into the snow, and the rest of your company shuffles after. Sans stops at a specific spot, and turns to your parents. He pulls out a bottle of ketchup, and turns to your parents. "I want you two to lay down right here, eyes open, and hold hands." He says. Your mom seems appalled. "Lay in the SNOW!?!" your mom says. "Just try to trust me, and it will be clear." Sans replies. Your parents grudgingly obey, laying down side by side, hands clasped. Sans stands above them, and pours the ketchup out in a tight circle around them. As he backs away, you gasp

    McKenna shrieks.
You frantically run over to her, expecting to see a suffering Jordan. What you find is so SO MUCH WORSE. "No. No no no nooo..." You frantically search for amother reason that your parents might be lying in the snow. But as you approach, those hopes drain from you. Your parents... Mom... Dad... Lie faces up in the red-tinted snow. You fight back retching sobs that threaten you at the sight of there cold... Dead hands clasping each other. You kneel between them, overcome with grief. YOUR Parents... Just gone. All Chara's fault.

You and McKenna stare ahead, shocked as your memories begin to flow. You back away as a tear escapes, running down your face. Your parents begin to stand, feelimg cold and looking worried. You take another step back, and are pulled into more memories.

You grab McKenna and gently shake her awake, putting a finger to your lips. You know she can help you now. Because now you know that she has perserverence. She understands your signal, and the two of you leave the room quietly. When you reach the lobby, the nice bunny inn keeper is gone. You look behind the desk, but already know what you will find.

The sight of 💀DUST💀sends a shiver down your spine.

They keep flowing, and for the first time since appearing in the room, you wish they would stop. You didn't want to remember anymore. But they didn't stop. When they finally do, you are sitting in the snow, in a fetal position, tears flooding down your cheeks. Again. You think.
