Everyone says that it was Chara's fault. That it was she who killed everyone, that it was she who had corrupted Frisk. But they never knew her story.

Chara was always hurt by humans. They tricked her, they used her, and... they abandoned her. It happened so many times, she nearly became numb to it... When she no longer was good for anything, she was thrown to the side... Left to rot wherever the person thought fit.

But, when the monsters took her in, her soul began to change. It grew lighter and warmer! It grew happier and calmer!

Then, she died. She did it for them, for them to finally see the sun, but... something went wrong... Very... Very wrong.

Then she woke up, a ghost watching over a young, naïve, little child.

She watched as they were attacked again and again. She watched in horror as the monsters she once knew as friends and family tried to kill the human! As the story of how the six human children were murdered!

Oh, the shame and anger that befell the dead child! It turned and coiled into something so, so much worse.

One RESET... That was all it took for Chara to take control of frightened human's body.

She whispered promises of protection and happiness, the promises of a new day. Yet, the human child watched with tears falling down her face as her friends were turned to dust... Again... And Again... And Again.

They cried and plead! They couldn't watch this no more! They begged and bargained! They asked for so little, but it was still too much.

So, they fought for the power once more, toiling and turning, becoming one and then becoming two... Over and over again, till it all became a blur.

Then, like a small miracle. They woke up. Side by side, body by body. Knife in one hand, stick in the other.

The hatred in Chara soared to a new length! She no longer was tethered to a body not her own! She could end all of those silly, stupid monsters once and for all!

But one person stood in her way, Frisk the human.

Their eyes were narrowed with their DETERMINATION, but there was understanding in them... An understanding that the once ghost did not like.

So she attacked! But, she never landed a hit, Frisk was far too good at dodging, having learned the hard way from their body fighting Sans the second time.

The ghost grew angrier and angrier! Her own twisted DETERMINATION growing inside her as well!

Then, she finally landed a hit, but one that didn't end Frisk... One that ended her control.

The final human held Chara's hand, grasping it with love and care, their smile calm and warm. They took no notice of the pain, nor the blood the leaked from their wound. All that mattered at the moment, was Chara.

"You don't have to be like this. We can change them for the better... We can do it hand and hand... We can do it, together." Their free hand was outstretched, their smile never faltering, never once showing a sign of lie or fear.

Unknown tears began to well in the cold-hearted being, emotions of pain and guilt and sorrow flooding back in as one!

Yes, Chara was corrupted, but it was only because she was hurt so much and so badly, she no longer could see. It was Frisk's MERCY that not only saved the monster kind, but they had also saved their dearest friend from a destructive path.
