Chapter Nine

Sans got up slowly and observed his surroundings. He was in a dark area with no light to shine in, and his travel companions had disappeared from sight.

(Frisk had run off ahead of me. So she could be around here somewhere!)

Sans started to pick up speed, trying to find where Frisk could be. No sign of her anywhere. No sign of Chara or Asriel either. It was nothing but darkness.

There was an illusion that came into sight, but they looked so real. Sans looked relieved to see them at first. It was Frisk and Chara. Sans's eyes blackened. They were holding hands. They seemed happy. Their eyes were covered by the shadows. They were laughing. The fake Chara went towards the fake Frisk.

"I really love you, Frisk. Thanks for choosing ME." The Chara had a crooked smile.

"Of course. You're HUMAN. I can't believe you'd thought I could ever love a skeleton." The Frisk kisses Chara.

Sans couldn't believe what he was seeing. It couldn't be real. (My mind must be playing tricks on me.)

Frisk would never say that. She believed that monsters and humans were equal. She would never think any less of him because he was a skeleton...right?

Frisk?'s eyes glowed yellow. She looked straight at Sans. "Oh, he's here. Well, I guess you know now."

Chara suddenly lifted a knife behind Frisk and then stabs her without notice. Very similar to the Chara Sans knows. That striped sweater. The disturbed look. He licked the blood right off the knife in mockery towards Sans's tear stained eyes. He appeared to transform into a child.

Remembering past times, Sans knew that he would've fought back normally. But this time he just couldn't. He didn't even know how to respond. He hated that Chara had the satisfaction of seeing him cry, but he couldn't stop the tears from flowing down.

"That's right." Chara mocked with an eerie smile. "Your human can be like me. I did you a favor. She only seen you as monster trash. I can have the satisfaction killing her and everyone over again." He spat on her dead body, which faded away. "I will always come back. A L W A Y S."

"No!" Sans yelled. "You won't stay here forever because..." he trailed off. (Why is it always like this?) He wondered. (I can never escape it...it can't really be this hopeless, right?)

"This make things easier for me with your despair." The child approaches. "DIE!" The child swift fully went towards Sans.

There was a light coming from the ceiling.

"SNAP OUT OF IT, SKULLY!!"

A familiar voice.

Some blood splashed a little in Sans's face. The child's knife dug into the taller human's side. The human had a familiar hoodie up. It was... Chara!!

-Note here: Storyshift Chara will be referred back to Chara and the killer Chara will be called the child.

"Heh." Chara coughed a little blood. "Nice try, mini me." He looked back on Sans. "Sorry I'm late." He falls over.

Sans stared in shock at Chara on the ground. (Did he really just...do that for me? Even though I almost killed him?)

Sans sat down on the floor next to him. "I didn't expect it to hurt so bad seeing you like this...I always thought I hated you. Heh..."
