Determination (Charisk) [OUTDATED]

6 - CROSSBONES AND CROSSED LINES

A/N: graphic descriptions of a broken bone.

(CHARA POV)

Stood there was the great Papyrus, in all of his glory. He started to speak too,
"HUMAN, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL CAPTURE YOU HERE AND NOW, AND I WILL GAIN POPULARITY BEYOND YOUR UNDERSTANDING. UNDYNE WILL FINALLY LET ME JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD!! NYEH HEH HEH! NOW TO CAPTURE YOU!" The color drained from the area and Frisk's soul appears in front of her, bright red as always. Papyrus throws out a bone attack, being pretty easy to dodge. But out of nowhere, a whole bunch of blue bones appeared, and went right through her.
"Frisk! Don't. Move. Blue means stop. As long as you dont move, you won't get hurt." Frisk looked at me with a worried expression and nodded.  She looked back at papyrus and pleaded for mercy, papyrus looked uncomfortable and bugged about this. He retracted the bones and frisks soul changed color. Frisk squirmed at this and fell to the ground wincing.
     "YOU'RE BLUE NOW." He changed gravity for frisk and she fell right onto sans' and papyrus's shed. She tried jumping but she was just on the shed wall. Papyrus summons some more blue and white bones to assault Frisk with. Something didn't seem right, though. We're Frisk's eyes... Blue? Maybe not. She only had them open for a brief moment... I must be seeing things.
     "Hey, Frisk. Try flirting with him," She looked at me funny while concentrating on not dying. "What? It always works for me!" She smiled and said
     "Damn right."
     "What?"
     "What?" She continued to flirt with papyrus using all of those cheesy pickup lines from earlier. Papyrus got all flustered and ancy. He panicked and just ran a bone right through frisks arm, oh my god. You could hear her bone basically shattering.

     It felt like time stopped. Frisk's body was dangling by her left arm from the 8 ft bone that lifted her up into the air.

     The color returned to the area, making her blood a vibrant red against the blue of her sweater. It trickled down the bone and dripped into a pool of crimson slush below her almost lifeless body. Her expression looked like she was screaming, but there was no sound, at least, I couldn't tell if there was.

     The ringing in my ears grew louder as my vision swam, it felt like I was going to choke and throw up at the same time. I felt a sharp pain in my SOUL the more I look at Frisk. Like, mabye I'm feeling a fraction of what she's feeling.

     The bone dissipated and Frisk fell to the ground. I couldn't move for what felt like forever.

     "Oh my god Frisk!" I ran over to frisk becoming solid and fully visible without realizing it. Papyrus looks shocked to find another human but is also in shock not only from hearing the bone fracture and break in a lot of places, but also from hurting Frisk. Frisk is on the ground, eyes looking straight up. Oh God. Papyrus shouts:
     "OH ASGORE I NEED TO GET SANS, IM SORRY HUMAN AND IM SORRY GREEN HUMAN!" He runs and tries to go get his skelebrother and the next part gets a bit hazy as I'm seething with rage. Frisk is on the ground, clutching her arm which is bending and ripped in several places it shouldn't be. I stand up.
     "I'm sorry? Sorry isn't going to cut it." I'm fuming at this point and the whites of my eyes fill with black as dark goo starts pouring out of my eyelids and the corners of my mouth. Papyrus notices this and starts to cower away.
     "NO, PLEASE. IM SORRY. DON'T HURT ME PLEASE!" What am I doing? I fall and kneel on the ground beside my Frisk. Tears running down, mixing with the black substance.
     "GO! Get help! Please!" I'm crying hard at this point. Papyrus nods and cowers away, my breath is getting shorter. "Frisk, babygirl, stay with me. Don't fall asleep." She turns her eyes slightly and tears start down her pale face.
     "D-Don't call me th-that please."
     "O-Okay I won't." I put my had on her face and she puts her face into my hand and stops crying, if not then at least audibly. I wipe away her tears with my thumb. The hole in her arm is still bleeding, leaving a pool of frozen, red, slush beneath her. Stay with me Frisky. I can barely breathe not only from staying tangible, but also because I'm choked up. She looks at me and smiles.
     "It going to be okay." Her smile is interrupted by a sharp inhale followed by her face getting paler. She turned her eyes away.
     "No! Frisk. Frisk! Frisk look at me."  She glanced over at me like she was looking right through me. She was, actually looking right through me, and she said:
     "S-Sans."
I looked behind me and sans had a glowing blue eye and was running full speed towards frisk. I kept by her side as sans got down next to me.
     "looks like you are better at your job than you tho—" Sans looks at Frisk's shriveled and contorted arm. His eyes widen and he goes over and pukes behind a tree. Sans rushes back after wiping his mouth and starts muttering in a voice only me, himself, and frisk could hear.
     "multiple galeazzi fractures, a single monteggia fracture, shattered ulna and a right angular mid radial fracture." He looked over at me out of the corner of his eye, and nudges his head towards the arm. I didn't think this meant anything but I decided to help anyway, both me and Sans, in unison it seemed, tried to re-align her arm, while sans used a sort of controlled gravity manipulation to dampen the pain. Frisk was passed out at this point but I could still feel her blood pumping, faintly. I had hope. Hope that she was too determined to give up. Sans had wrapped his jacket around her shoulder like a tourniquet, and used snow to close and ice the hole in her arm. I looked at papyrus who was nervous and sad. He looked at me as I made my head and hand visible, I winked and put my finger over my mouth, tears still streaming down my face. I turned back to see the smile gone from Sans' face heavily focused on the task at hand. Right, back to work. Hang in there, Frisk.

(FRISK POV)

     I woke up on the couch. My arm was bandaged, put in a splint, and wrapped in a cast made of weaved bone. Not creepy at all. Chara's Jacket was wrapped around me, not completely tangible but not ghostly. It was very warm and soft, and it smelled like pie, wind, buttercups, and Chara. He was peacefully asleep on the floor against the wall. My arm felt numb, but it was better than feeling whatever had caused it to be that way. Last thing I remember was a complicated blue and white attack and flirting with papyrus. Chara was asleep. It's late at night. I feel really hot. What is happening? It's like all the blood in my arm is boiling. I looked down and saw a faint, light green glow emigrating from under the gauze in my arm. I couldn't even feel the pain anymore. I put my free hand on the side of my neck. I feel really hot right now. Before I could realize what was going on I felt an ache in my SOUL, I took it out to look at it and it let out a wave of magic that caused me to fall asleep almost instantly. The next thing I saw was Chara laying down on a red, heart shaped bed, shirtless.

     (CHARA POV)
  I woke when I heard Frisk calling my name. I sat up and looked at where she was.
     "Frisk! Are you—" She was saying my name in her sleep. Pretty loudly actually, I wonder what— oh. Oh. I got up slowly and walked to the front door. I opened it and shut it quietly as I walked out into the cold. Sans was outside already, looking over the fence opposite his home, that protected citizens of snowdin from falling off the cliff it's placed on.
     "your girlfriend's pretty loud, kiddo."
     "Yeah I was thinking the same— wait. You can see me? Oh no. The worlds going to reset, we will have to do it again and and"
     "breathe kiddo. i've studied things like you for years, i know when you are, where you are, and what you look like. it's an... acquired skill."
      "Then why did the world not reset when I showed myself to papyrus? Oh, so many questions."
      "one at a time kid. first, you did a damn good job on her arm and keeping her alive. she woulda died if you hadn't been there for her. two, don't ever scare papyrus like that again, cuz' if you do," Sans' expression changes. "you'll be dead where you stand." He looks at my face and chuckles "nah, i'm just playin' with ya'. but seriously don't do that ever again, guys pretty spooked."
     "Sorry, I couldn't control myself, I thought Frisk wasn't going to make it."
     "nah you're good, kid. but she's very loud." My face turned bright red at the thought. "quite the bone you got there, kiddo." He chuckled, my face got even redder and darker to more of a maroon color. I pulled my shirt down over my hard-on.
     "You said she was my girlfriend, she's not."
     "that's a shame, kiddo. when her arms not in *gag* um... pieces, shes a pretty one."
     "That she is, my friend, that she is."
     "hey kid, how old are ya?"
     "18, I think."
     "drinking age is 16 down here, come over to grillby's with me." He pointed over to the bar&grill over next to the librarby.
     "I don't see why not."
. . .
    "I don't know what I doing wrong man!" I said drunkenly to my new best skelebuddy. "I just want her to *hic* loove me!"
     "bro *urrp* dude if i were her, i'd be missing out man!" He bumped into me. "there's this pretty sport... spook..... spot over in water fall and it's reeeeel pretty man, ya gotta taker there andandand giver a smooch." I was fully visible now, the alcohol helped with that.
      "But what if she rejects me? Isn't that like: *whispers* sexual harassment?" I don't want her to feel embarrassed and hurt her like that.
     "Bro man you're right, I'm such a numbskull." The bar echoed with our laughter.
