Soulfell

Dreams

Frisk was in the void again. That wasn't a good sign, that was for sure. Luckily, with a quick look around she didn't see the child from last time. Until her eyes fell upon that speck far in the distance. Upon seeing this Frisk immediately turned and ran in the opposite direction, but was stopped short when she ran into something. Before she could pull back, arms wrapped around her and held her there. The only thing Frisk could see was a green sweater.

"I knew you'd come back for me~" the child from before teased.

Frisk tried to push herself away from them, but they were too strong. It was only then she noticed how tall they were compared to her; the top of her head was right at their chin.

"Let go," Frisk begged, terrified.

"Where's the fun in that?" They asked as they rested their chin on her head. "I just wanted to talk to you again. You didn't remember me last time."

"I still don't," Frisk told them.

They paused before crushing her with their arms. "You still don't remember? Are you just that stupid?"

Frisk winced at the pain before they let her go and threw her to the ground, pinning her underneath them.

"I'm the one who helped you through the Underground the last timeline, idiot!" They shouted at her, eyes dark. "I helped you that entire trip and you just threw it all away! YOU WERE ALMOST BACK ON THE SURFACE! YOU COULD HAVE MADE IT IF YOU HAD JUST KILLED THAT STUPID SKELETON! But you didn't! THEN YOU JUST RESET THE WHOLE THING?!?!"

If there was one thing Frisk hated it was getting yelled at for whatever reason, and being pinned under them didn't help either. She had forced her eyes shut and tried not to start sobbing.

The child in the green sweater stopped and was silent a moment before getting off of her. "Perhaps I'm being too harsh. I'll try not to yell at you again."

Frisk still didn't move, but she forced herself to say, "What do you want?" It came out timid and small.

"Well, there's a few things I want but I'll tell you the thing that I want the most." They paused for Frisk to react, which she didn't, so they continued, "I want to share your body."

Frisk opened her eyes at that.

"I was a bit harsh on you earlier," they said. "But it's only because you didn't finish what you had started. If you had gone a pacifist route like this one, I would've been angry if you killed Sans at the end too. It was just dependent of what line you went down. But now... long story short, I've been dead for a while now, but I want to live again. And after you absorbed the comedian's soul, it might be possible for another human soul to be absorbed since its half monster now."

"You want to live," Frisk concluded.

"Yes, but I need someone to have a body for me. It wouldn't be too hard, if it worked. You two would still have control most of the time, but I want to do some things as well. I won't get in the way."

Frisk thought over it for a few minutes. This child was a ghost, wishing to have a second chance at life. That wasn't bad. But...one thing still nagged her. It was explained away earlier, but she could stop thinking about it.

"What about last time?" She asked. "You showed me some awful stuff, and I don't want that to happen."

"I showed you what was supposed to happen if you had continued killing everyone. I'm not the bad guy here, I just wanted you to finish what you had started."
