Shadows Of Remorse (CreepyPasta x Undertale)

Chapter 13 - A Continued Discussion

He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

His own brother, his own flesh and bones, was standing right in front of him next to a serial killer. Right there, in the mall, right in front of him. Not once, but twice has there been a serial killer next to Sans, standing next to him as if they hadn't hurt someone before.

Papyrus was a big believer in redemption, that anyone could be a good person if they just tried, but they didn't try to be good people! Yeah, what Jeff had said to him was accurate, but Laughing Jack had almost killed Frisk.

When did this start? Was Sans always in ties with killers, and did Papyrus never notice? Or was it after they got to the surface, when he must have met Laughing Jack and Jeff. Maybe Sans was just threatened by them, they could have held weapons to his face and force him to be with them?

No, Sans had willingly called for Laughing Jack, and he willingly left with Jeff instead of go with Undyne and himself.

This was his fault, wasn't it?

To think that his brother would choose killers over himself had Papyrus sobbing into his hands, Alphys left speechless on the couch and Undyne digging her nails into her head from the realization.

They had screwed up.

Papyrus was a terrible brother. The girl was right, he didn't deserve to be called a brother after what he did.

"W-Wait," Papyrus said.

Everyone glanced over at him, the girl crossing her legs in front of her as she dragged them over the couch to better face him.

"He was w-with a girl, a little girl that he said he adopted but there were no documents," Papyrus said, "Her n-name was Sally. Do you think she...?"

"Sans said he was taking care of her because of her Uncle," Undyne said, rubbing her eyes with her hands.

"Brown hair, green eyes? Was she with a teddy bear called Charlie, wearing pink?" Bubbly asked.

"Oh Toby Fox no," Papyrus groaned.

"But she was only a kid! She was like what, six?" Undyne snapped, "No, I'm sorry girl, but you have to be off. There's no way a kid that young could have killed anyone!"

"Well, uh, when she was alive, she couldn't have killed anyone," She said.

"A-Alive?" Alphys asked.

They all stared in disbelief as the girl seemed to move for her phone before deciding against it, pushing herself back against the couch. She seemed uneasy and hesitant of everything she did, anxious even.

"Sally Williams was her name, when she was alive 30 years ago."

"Alive 30 years ago?" Undyne asked.

"I-I DON'T UNDERSTAND," Papyrus said.

"Sally was raped and killed by her Uncle 30 years ago," She said, "She was killed with a rock, I think, on her head. She died when she was a kid and is now like a ghost."

"YOU MEAN SHE DIED AS A HUMAN AND BECAME A MONSTER?" Papyrus asked, "LIKE HOW NAPSTABLOOK IS A GHOST? BUT HE WAS BORN AS A GHOST!"

"No, they're different, I'm not sure how to explain," She said, "Napstablook was born as a ghost, like you said, but he was born as that. Sally was killed as a human, but because her spirit wanted revenge on her Uncle, so her body died but her soul sorta lived on in the shape of how she died, if that makes sense. Basically, she lived past death and is stuck eternally living in her soul like that, I think. It's hard to explain when monsters have a species of ghosts, but uh, since she's technically older then all of us, and that she's immortal. I dunno how to explain, it's just something humans naturally kinda know since ghosts are pretty popular."
