Where I Belong ~Undertale Story~

Chapter 13

~Powerful Outburst~

The walk home was quiet and the tense air grew thicker. As we got back to Snowdin, I didn't even turn back in to my skeleton self. I was just so ticked off. I mean, I understand that I worried Sans like crazy. I get it. If it were the other way around, I'd be worried sick too. But the way he blew up on me was COMPLETELY unnecessary.

Sans: "hey uh aren't you cold?"

Me: "I'm fine, alright? The house is literally right there." I snapped and I saw him visibly flinch.

Usually I'd apologize on the spot for being so snippy. But in the moment, I felt my attitude was justified. Like I understand you were worried, but really? Was the yelling really necessary? You act like I purposely went out of my way to almost drown and get hurt just to worry you.

I walked into the house, slamming the door open. It made Gaster jump in surprise. When he saw it was me, he got up from his spot on the couch, dropped the book he was reading, and rushed over; grabbing and hugging me close, checking me from head to toe.

Gaster: "Oh Arissa! What happened to you?! We were all so worried abou-"

Me: "Get off me Gaster. I'm fine okay? Everyone needs to quit worrying about me. I'm a witch for god sake. I can take care of myself."

Gaster was not happy with my tone and gave me that dad look. You know, the one that says 'you better check your tongue or we're gonna have issues'. But I didn't care.

Me: "Oh don't look at me like that! Look, I'm fine. Alright great. Glad we got that out of the way. I'm going to bed." I huffed as I shoved past him.

 But before I could get out of range of him, he grabs my wrist and drags me outside. Sans tries to stop him and also somewhat explain but Gaster ignored him, as well as my yelling for him to let me go and my threats to hurt him if he didn't.

Once we were a ways away from the house, he let me go, turning to look at me with that disapproving look again, arms crossed.

Gaster: "Alright, what's with the attitude huh? You think that snapping at me is going to get you anywhere?"

I rolled my eyes

Me: "Oh clearly not. Why do you care huh? I've been through plenty worse. You know that so why are you so concerned now?"

Gaster: "Because you are still a child in my eyes and since your mother is no longer here to teach you, that leaves me to fill her shoes."

Me: "DON'T you bring my mother into this! It's not like you knew her! So how can you possibly speak about her!?" I spat

Gaster: "I'm sorry but I recall you were the one to give me your mother's soul. And I know you could have given me any one of your souls but you chose that one specifically. Because like your mother, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AFTER YOU YOUR WHOLE LIFE, REMEMBER?! I wasn't there physically but I was STILL THERE! And your mother KNEW THAT!! That's why her soul took so easily to me. If you had given her soul to anyone else, it would have fought against the host. But because she knew it was me, she was quick to accept me. And she would be so disappointed in how you were acting right now!!"

That hit me hard. I had almost forgotten that I had given Gaster my mother's soul. I started tearing up. She truly would be disappointed in me. But my anger was blinding me. It controlled me. And if I didn't calm down soon, something bad was going to happen.

Me: "And so WHAT!? It wouldn't be the first time someone was disappointed in me!!! And news flash!! YOU. AREN'T. MY. DAD!!"

Gaster: "I MIGHT AS WELL BE!!! SINCE YOUR PATHETIC FATHER WALKED OUT ON YOU!!"

Oh.

That did it

The snow surrounding me started to swirl around the spot I stood, the trees started to bend to the spinning direction of the increasing wind. I levitated high in the air from where I once stood. Suddenly, there was a vortex of wind, snow and leaves. Gaster realized what was happening and was yelling for me to calm down. But his efforts were fruitless. I could no longer hear him. I was lost in the hurricane of emotions. 

Rage. Anger. It filled me so quickly that before I realized what was happening, it was too late.

Lightning started striking out at random spots. Gaster had to teleport constantly to dodge them. Sans suddenly appeared, seeing the state I was in, did his best to try to help me. I was blind and deaf to his attempts though. Nothing could get to me right now.

Until...

"I'M SORRY!!!"

I blinked and suddenly was aware of my surroundings and actions. I looked down to see the skeleton.

Me: "What? " My voice echoed, as if a god was speaking to him.

Sans: "i'm sorry!!! i shouldn't have snapped at you like i did. i was just worried sick that i had lost you and....i don't know. i just lost my temper. you didn't deserve that."

Well....he wasn't the only one in the wrong.

Me: "Sans I-"

An unbearable pain shot through my body and I plummeted to the earth. Gaster was quick to catch me and he examined me as I writhed and screamed.

Sans: "what's wrong with her?!?!"

After a few minutes, Gaster's eyes went wide. He brought out my cracked soul that, because of my outburst, had shattered yet was barely, barely, intact. 

Gaster: "If we don't fix this quick, she will forever be locked in a unbreakable magic coma. Let's go."
