An Echotale One shot
a love story and action/adventure
first person POV (alternating)
its my first time writing one of these so..... enjoy
Please don't mind any spelling mistakes xD
It was so quiet. The underground had no noise at all. I always praised myself for bringing Papyrus down here with me. He protested but only a little bit. He knew that it would be best until the war had ended.
I was grateful that he'd listened because if he truly didn't want to... I couldn't force him even if I'd tried. He was still a bit childish but only about himself. He was very smart and I was proud of him. I enjoyed how when I asked him to stay away from something... He did.
It was quiet, and beautiful, and peaceful. I never neglected it on my daily walks. I would light a cigarette and Stop in each of the three sections of the underground to make sure everything was up and working
Gaster had taught me enough for me to know how to start, and run the core so that was another daily chore added to my list. Keeping Papyrus away from prince flower power was another thing. Supposedly the flower and Asriel had split before we were all let loose and the flower was good now but I would tear him petal from petal before I'd let him touch my bro.
We hadn't done anything wrong..... At least papyrus hadn't. And we both paid for anything we had done. We were finally catching our break, and I was starting to relax a bit. Whatever we had deserved was received and accepted and everything was good....
So why..... Is there a human here...?
I supposed that my sins weren't all paid or something. This was a new punishment. She looked determined, like.... Someone else I knew a long while ago. She was pretty, I'd give her that... But looks couldn't save her from my wrath...
I hated humans... With a burning passion that I guess I got from Gaster, my father. I thought that when Frisk had fallen I could give her a chance to prove herself, for Tori's sake and my own. When she ended up being an alright kid, I allowed myself to believe all humans would be the same...
Because I was foolish...
I had a wake up call when I watched a male, human of course, try to hurt papyrus. I was there to stop him though. I had used a bone to impale his hand, pinning him to the ground. I wouldn't ever admit it to anyone but I saw Chara when I pinned that man.
This caused the war. Yeah I felt guilty but I stopped caring when I watched Frisk..... Someone I believed was my BEST friend..... Walk away from me on my death bed. I'd let my vision blur and blackout. Not only was I depressed to find that I woke up, but I couldn't find her anywhere.
Something inside had snapped and suddenly I didn't care if humans had died or not. She had abandoned us when we needed her most and the chance she'd won herself was blown away like a leaf in the god damned wind.
I wasn't planning on giving this girl a chance. She was no different than the others. If I let her go she'd probably hurt Papyrus and that wasn't exactly a risk a was willing to take... When she'd cut my arm it had sparked my interest. I got the idea to use her in practice fights to strengthen myself.
I wasn't actually interested in how or why she was down here, it was a question asked to allow myself time to think things through. I hated how weak she sounded while she explained so I kicked her to shut her up. I refused to have a weak opponent.
When she used magic to heal herself I was stunned. 'They got a hold of magic?!?! Now I'm really fucked....' I thought. I wanted to freak out. The stupid thing she said about being a little nicer because she wasn't my pet had thrown me over the edge.
She was surely determined... Which was weird because last I'd known, Frisk had the only determination soul.... Perhaps I was mistaking it for bravery.. I would beat the bravery from her as long as it got her to fucking listen to me...
I blacked out, I couldn't remember what I'd done but there were only so many guesses you could make when you come back to a bloodied female human passed out at your feet. Another blood stain was added to my black boots. I was thankful you could only see them if they were shining.
With a sigh I picked her up and slung her over my shoulder. I would keep her in the shed so Papyrus didn't notice. If she could heal herself then I'd slip a tray beside her and wait for her to wake. I had questions. Like who was left and who she was.. Why she was down here and shit. I wanted to know who I was fighting so I could break her mentally too. Fuckin humans....
