What Went Wrong?

Chapter 41

After a moment or two of happy silence. Alphys shook her head as if she was trying to figure something out.

She said, "H-hey, that reminds me." She turned on her heels and looked at Papyrus. "Papyrus, you called everyone here, right? Well... besides, uh, her." She motioned in moms direction. "Uh, anyway... if I got here before you... how did you know how to call everybody?"

Papyrus let out a hearty laugh and yelled, "LET'S JUST SAY... A TINY FLOWEY HELPED ME."

The air suddenly dropped 10 degrees and Alphys's eye widened into huge ovals as she quietly squeaked out, "A tiny... flower?" Sans eyes widened and his smile looked as if it would drop if it could.

After a single second a long, green, sharply spiked vine shot through the walkway and roped everyone but Frisk into its grasp. Frisk stubbled backwards in shock and I floated closer to Frisk just in case. Sans eyes gone dark, pitch black... something seemed familiar about that but I couldn't place my thumb on it.

Flowey appeared from the ground and laughed maniacally. Frisk looked horrified and I could barely hold myself back from beating that tiny asshole into a shriveling pile of dirt. I could visualize it clearly in my head... my sharp knife slicing every tiny piece of that little flower until he became nothing must dust...

I shake myself out of that glorious thought just in time to hear Flowey screech, "I TOOK THE HUMAN SOULS!"

Frisk finally got to their feet and held their head high. They had a strong look of disgust on their face. Flowey giggles again and continued, "And now, not only are those under my power... but all of your friends' souls are gonna be mine, too! And you know what the best part is? It all YOUR fault!"

Flowey slowly got more and more boring... so boring to the point that I couldn't keep up with his evil monologue. I felt like his words were important but I wouldn't be surprised if I fell asleep during it. I turned my head towards Frisk who's eyes slowly began to widen in fear, I assumed the dumb flower was saying something that really hit home for them. I shook my head violently in attempt to keep listening.

"I'll hold victory in front of you, just within your reach... and then TEAR it away just before you grasp it!!! Over and over and over!" Flowey's face distorted after every repeat of the word.

His face slowly got sickening to look at and Frisk turned away. I visualized another disgusting way of killing him while he blabbered on again, probably insulting Frisk or trying to make a one ended deal. I could clearly see myself torturing the poor beast. Ripping his roots from the ground, crushing his cellular wall around his damn thin stem, stringing and tearing his stem into neat strands, plucking every golden petal one by one... and if that didn't hurt I would slowly ignite him, holding his just above a flame, toasting and scorching him until he couldn't keep consciousness and then kill him with a single blow! I blinked and tore myself from the thoughts. What's happening to me?! Stay alert! I rush over to Frisk who was cornered and who's life was currently being threatened by the asshat.

Just as I was about to step in and show myself small flames appear a block the bullets from harming Frisk. Mom smiles, lifts her head and whispers, "Do not be afraid my child... no matter what happens... we will always be there to protect you!"

Soon enough everyone joined in on helping save Frisk. Even Alphys who I didn't think had magic! All telling Frisk what they needed to hear and encouraging them to stand up, keep going. Even other monsters started to walk through the doorway like Napstablook, Muffet, and Shyrin. They came and helped Frisk when they needed it most. Flowey was wildly whipping his head around screeching, "NO!!!" at the top of his lungs.

My dad lifted his head and said, "Human, for the future of humans and monsters...! You have to stay determined!" He said those exact same words when I was on my deathbed.

In that moment... everything clicked. Everything around me fell silent even though their mouths still moved. Years ago that flower was at my grave... mourning me. I've felt him come by every once in a while and I could feel the tears land on every golden petal above my body. He's been trying to kill Frisk and take the seventh soul to brake the barrier because he had a promise to keep... Asriel would NEVER brake a promise... no matter the consequences. I stared at the soulless flower monster. Hot tears flowed from my eyes. He was doing EXACTLY as I told him to do... kill the humans and brake the barrier, he just couldn't express any emotion but anger. My brother... my lifetime friend... I have finally found you.

"Frisk... Frisk?! Tell As-Flowey... Tell Asriel that I love him. Tell him that please... please?" I whispered to Frisk without thinking.

Frisk's head snapped up and their eyes widened in surprise. But they did as I asked, bless them. Frisk knelt down next to my weeping brother and willed their bright red soul to appear... you could see the piece of soul that was my own, it was a deep red much darker than Frisk's. Everyone stopped talking and stared at Frisk in awe. Mom's and dad's eyes widened at Frisk's soul, recognizing my own. They both looked at each other and started to cry. Flowey's tears stopped and he looked longingly at the soul and then slowly back up at Frisk.

"Chara says they love you, Asriel." Frisk whispers loud enough for him to hear. Flowey looked back at the soul and mumbled something no one, not even myself could hear.

"What did he say?! Is it important?! Please! What di-"

"Repeat that Asriel? Chara couldn't hear you..." Frisk whispers to Flowey. I lean in close.

Flowey's eyes soft tremendously he leaned into the soul, very close, and whispered, "...I love you too, Chara. And I'm going to see you again."

Everything. Was. Silent. And. Everyone. Heard.

Mom and dad were silently crying in joy and shock. Alphys looked utterly confused that her flower excitement was living through my brothers soul. Papyrus just smiled with tears in his eyes remembering his best two friends. Undyne's head was held high, as if she was trying not to cry, probably remembering the time she carried my body to my bed and watched me die, or the time she helped clean up Asriel's dust. Sans on the other hand, look confused, as if he's seen this a thousand time but never exactly like this... got me thinking about timelines. I shake my head and return my focus to Frisk and Flowey.

After a sweet, blissful, quiet moment Flowey suddenly gave and evil smirk raised his right leave hand and start to absorb everyone's souls. He screech over the loud white noise, "ALL OF YOUR SOULS ARE MINE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

With the hundreds of souls being ripped from the monsters, the black room was being filled with a bright white color. I could feel Frisk blacking out and with that both Frisk and I were sucked into a loud bright white void.
