Chara had woken up from what felt like a deep sleep. She was confused. "Wasn't I ... dead?", she whispered. She looked around. "The flowerbed". She walked onto the flowers of blue and green and looked up. She saw someone, but they weren't looking at her, and she withdrew quickly. Soon, she heard a rock hit the flowers, followed by a human being.

Frisk touched her head. She wasn't bleeding. She made sure she wasn't bleeding anywhere else then stood up and looked around. She saw cave walls and a person. She looked down and saw the flowers that probably saved her life. She looked at the person. Chara looked at her.

Another child was looking down. They didn't follow the theme established by the two kids already there. They was wearing a black hoodie and black sweatpants and had a backpack with food, water, and a weapon. They were so thin you could see the slight imprints of her ribs and had pale white hair and skin, being extremely tall with dead blue eyes. They saw what looked like a person speak.

"Hello", Frisk said. "Who are you?"

Chara looked at the child and then looked down. She ignored them, and Frisk walked closer.

"Hello? I'm Frisk, and you are?"

Chara took a few steps back but answered. "I am Chara".

Frisk nodded and smiled.

The child who hadn't fell was still watching them. They could hear voices behind them and knew she had to jump soon, but she was postponing that moment. They decided not to waste any more time, since both kids weren't in her way, and jumped down. They hoped they would die.

The new child did not die, and wasn't even knocked out. They woke up and looked around, seeing rocks, flowers, and two people. When she saw the people she recoiled in fear. Chara smiled while Frisk looked confused and upset.

Frisk walked closer to the new child, and the new child walked further away until she was aginst a wall. Frisk smiled calmly and asked "What's your name?".

The child stayed silent. Frisk asked again. "What should we call you?"

The child looked at her. "We'll call you Unknown then", Arach said. Frisk asked them a question "Unknown, can you talk?".

Unknown nodded. Frisk then asked "Why do you not?'.

Unknown shook her head. Frisk nodded and walked through the one way to leave. Chara went to follow them, and so did Unknown.

"Why am I so... drawn to Frisk?", Chara muttered to herself. Unknown looked at her and shrugged. Chara glared and said "I never asked you". Unknown kept walking, only a bit farther away from her.

Soon, Frisk found a sentient flower that was a blinding white. Chara and Unknown were not far after. Frisk had a red soul, Chara had a black soul, and Unknown had a white soul with a black core. The flower was surprised by both the three souls and the different colours of the souls, but ignored this. Another thing he disliked was the sight of Chara, but he also ignored this.

"Hello! I'm Flowey. Flowey the flower!"

Frisk was smiling.

Flowey looked a bit closer. "I haven't seen you before. You're new here, aren'tcha?".

Frisk nodded.

FIowey smiled. "A fool I can manipulate", he thought to himself.

Flowey explained his version of things. "Down here, you have to gain love. Love is transferred through these friendliness pellets here. Here, take them". Both Chara and Unknown mistrusted him but for different reasons.

"Don't believe him", Chara whispered to Frisk. Frisk ignored her and believed Flowey. Flowey then damaged her to one health point left. Frisk collapsed and was held up by Unknown. Flowey laughed. 

"Down here, it's kill or be killed! You shouldn't have believed me. Now you're going to die!".

Flowey went for her, but what looked like a goat-human hybrid named Toriel blasted him out of the way.

Flowey dissapeared and Toriel took his place. The souls of our group withdrew back into them, and both Chara and Frisk calmed down. Unknown, however, became even more fearful at this sight.

"Hello", Toriel said with a smile. "Who are you?".

Frisk smiled. "I'm Frisk, this is Chara, and we call this one Unknown since she didn't tell us her name".

Toriel was a bit confused but continued. "Come with me, I can show you this place. It was once great but is now ruined, so it is known as the Ruins". Frisk and Chara followed her, but Unknown hung back for about fifteen seconds before following them.

Toriel led them through the traps that lined the underground and no one was injured or died. Unknown was the most careful and got through the traps faster then anyone else. They all got past the traps and got to Toriel's house. By then it was dark, so they all slept. Chara and Frisk ate first while Unknown did not, another strange thing they noted.

Frisk dreamed about their life before they fell. She had a few friends and lived a generally normal life without hassle. No one really disliked them and they were nice to everyone. One day one of their friends dared them to go to The Valley of the Crypt. Celtrius, being a fool, agreed. They went to the Valley of the Crypt, and like the stories said fell down.

Chara dreamed of her life before. She was a monster that looked eerily similar to her current form. She was royalty from far away, near the exit. They had taken this form for an unknown reason, and now had to figure out how to get back.

Unknown was thinking about her life before. It was horrible, and it hurt them to even think about what had happened. However, they did it anyways. Unknown had ran away from her family. They pursued her, and she ended up here. They had a near escape, but survived.

They got up and went outside. Before they came down here they did this to beg for food, water, and money, but now she was going for a different reason. Unknown went back through all the traps, doing all of them with ease. They got to the flowerbed they fell on and plucked a flower from it. They put it in their hair, hidden behind the majority of their hair. They ate a small snack and went to sleep.
