Disaster (Cross!Chara X Reader)

Chapter 6

(Chara's POV)

A girl stood there. She must have been at least 2-3 years older than we were. Long blond hair moved gently in the air as she waved happily. Echo waved back with much less passion before putting the box down.

"Hey, Denise. It is good to see you" she answered with her usual tone. The one called Denise ran up to her giving her a tight hug, actually holding her up in the air a bit. Echo gently patted her back as she got let down. Then Denise's attention shifted to me.

"Oh! I see that you have a friend with you!" she chirped.

"He's just my patient" Echo answered. Something stung when she said so.

"What's your name?" Denise asked.

"..." I didn't feel like answering.

"That's Chara. He's a bit of a brat" Echo answered for me.

"I'm not a brat!" I snapped, glaring at her.

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say" she answered, not even looking at me.

"Ah! I see that you're here with the medicine! Perfect timing as always!" Denise said, picking up the box before heading inside. Echo followed, forcing me to do the same.

"How have things been lately?" Echo asked.

"If I'm gonna be honest... it hasn't been too well..." Denise answered, her eyes sticking to the ground.

"How come?"

"A few of the gang has been sick a lot, despite the medicine... we were attacked and barely managed to hold them off. And...Anna... she's very ill... Could you..-" she got cut off.

"I will tend to her immediately. Could you please show me to her location?" Echo asked, putting a hand on her bag. The blonde nodded and turned to me.

"You can sit and wait on the couch if you want to, Chara" she said.

"I don't have to listen to y-" I started.

"Chara. Don't you think you've caused enough trouble already? She knows better than you do" Echo snapped, almost glaring at me.

I can't tell what it is. But in a way, Echo scares me.

"Fine" I sat down on the couch, slightly pissed.

(Your POV)

You followed Denise into one of the rooms. On a bed laid Anna, the youngest in the group. Her short, black hair was messy and greasy. While she seemed to be asleep, her face showed distress.

"If you could, please leave the room for a bit," you said, turning your attention to Denise.

"Yes of course..." she replied, leaving the room quietly.

"I hope you don't have to wake up to this, Anna..."

"She'll be just fine," you said a while later.

"Thank God..." Denise replied. You didn't let her stay calm for long though.

"But she was affected by some sort of venom. Do you have any idea of how she could have gotten it in her body?" you asked.

"Not really, no. Anna was actually found unconscious in front of the base... maybe she got bitten by some sort of snake?" Denise guessed.

"I have two theories about what could have happened," you said after a moment of silence. "This could be the work of a black widow. I'm thinking since she seems paralyzed... but I think option two is more likely..."

"W-what is option two?" Denise asked.

"It was a venom created by humans, with the mindset of using it on other humans" you answered.

"Why would someone do that?? I know we're all trying to survive and all, but that is just crazy!" Denise yelled, her hands shaking. You looked over at Chara for a moment. He seemed entirely calm about the situation.

"We don't all have the same mindset, Denise. Some people want more than to just survive. Some people want to conquer. And considering we're much fewer now, it's easier" you answered.

"But what is there to conquer if everyone dies?" she asked.

"I think that either they can't really understand that, or there's something they want here" you answered.

"Like what?"

*Crash*

"Me"
