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
That was my chance..... I slung my bag over my shoulder and as soon as that door opened, I ran. I ducked under his reach and into the snow I went. The streets and trails of the underground came flooding back to my memory. Like my plan was supposed to work. Was I really doing the right thing?
I heard a yell of anger from the skeleton and then the breaking of wood. He must've punched something..... Good. I questioned why he hadn't teleported to me yet. He certainly wasn't still trying to keep his powers a secret. Perhaps he was weak from the fight? He had healed me afterwards... I knew how much power that took..
It didn't matter. What did matter was what turns I was making. One wrong move and I'd be at a dead end. Then he'd catch me, and we'd go back.... I'd return to the shed no doubt. Once I knew for sure that he'd stopped looking, I would be okay to execute my plan.... No pun intended.
Of course I would still have to be careful. I couldn't be seen again or my chances of retrieving peace for the underground were slim to none. This was the only way to destroy my guilt and their pain. This was the only way to make the memories of Gaster go away. This was the only way everything would be okay.
I had ran all the way to waterfall and sat in a large patch of echo flowers. Sure, the light they gave off made me an easier catch but The patch itself was pretty hidden by the waterfall. Echoflowers seemed to calm my nerves. There was something about them that gave off a peaceful feeling.
I brushed the petals on one of the flowers and it did what echoflowers do, and repeated what it heard. Laughter. It wasn't mocking or rude, It was joyous and excited. It was from a monster child. Was that a reminder that I was doing the right thing? I liked to think so.
I wanted them all to be happy. I didn't understand how to do that until one day it had just hit me. At first it had broke me. I hadn't wanted to die, and I didn't understand why others would want me dead. I had taken a while to accept the fact that if my death gave an entire species happiness, it was my job to ensure that sacrifice.
For a long while I was afraid of death. I was afraid of what would happen to my mind and memories. As much as I wanted to make the sacrifice they needed me to make, I didn't want to forget. I wanted to remember why I made the choice I'd choose to make. I wanted- no.... Needed to remember them.
I had to tell myself that what I thought and felt didn't matter. That I was completely irrelevant. It was so easy for everyone else to do. All I had to do was believe it. Hats off to them I suppose. My stomach started to knot up, but I didn't stop my flow of thoughts. This was what I was here to let go of. These emotions were just the calm before the storm. If at any point it became too much? Well... we all knew what was happening anyway.
One of the flowers amongst the thousands of blue ones, was green. That was different. I went to brush it's petals when it turned and glared at me with it's beady eyes. I yelped and jumped back, recognizing it was only flowey.... And he wasn't green, it was jus the emitted blue light of the echoflowers reflecting off of his vibrant yellow.
"What are you doing?!? You were so close! You could've been comfortable! Safe!"Flowey hissed. Well now we knew he was watching me. Ya know, the normal for him.
I glanced away. "You and I both know I don't deserve that"
He stared incredulously. "What the hell are you saying Frisk?!? What the hell gave you that idea?!?"
I didn't reply. How could I?
I couldn't explain it to him. It would take up more time than I had. He wouldn't understand unless he were in my mind, and even then I don't believe he would agree with me. I had believed so strongly in my plan that he couldn't stop me even if he tried.
He let out a breath of defeat and I pulled my knees up to my chest. I didn't care if Flowey stayed to patronize me. It didn't matter. Nothing did. Soon I would be gone, and the war would end.... Right?
God I had hoped so... I didn't mean for this war to even start. Perhaps leaving the monsters underground would've been the better option? I was so young. And just like now, all I wanted was for them to be happy. I wanted them to see the stars. There would be a new star in the sky soon.
It was time to play the waiting game.
