Why? (An Undertale Fanfic)

1

Ziara's POV

Classes had finished for the day, I grabbed my things and left the school and started to make my way across the grounds.

I nearly made it out of the school grounds when I heard a yell, "Oi! Demon!" My heart dropped, I couldn't get away from him for one day, could I? I felt like crying, but I stopped myself, if I did then I would be known as the crybaby for the next month.

"What...?" I replied halfheartedly.

"You think I'm going to bully you?" Said Elijah, my bully, "Well, you are correct," He finished. There was no escape. I just looked at the floor and sighed. He looked slightly annoyed. He wanted some resistance. But he didn't say anything and just started to beat me up, a kick in the stomach to make me fall over, a slap on my arm if I tried to get up. I curled up in a ball to and just let him kick and punch me.

Eventually, he seemed to have decided he was finished for the day, he stopped kicking me and left.

I uncurled and laid on the floor for a bit before deciding to home and see what fun my oh-so-loving parents had in store for me. Note the sarcasm.

I stood up and began the long two-mile walk home, I had missed the bus again.

When I arrived, I noticed my father standing at the gate glaring at me.

"Where have you been!?" He yelled, "I told you to be back earlier, now go and clean the house."

I nodded and went inside. I went upstairs to my room and changed out of my uniform into black shorts, a green jumper with a yellow stripe, and brown knee-high boots.

I went over to the mirror and looked to see if I had any injuries, I looked normal, dark brown hair that reached my shoulders, blank expression, pale skin, and the bright red demonic eyes that were the source of all my problems. I didn't seem to have many injuries, a few more scars than the average 11-year-old but that was fine.

"ZIARA, YOU DISOBEDIENT CHILD!" My door banged open, I nearly jumped a foot into the air in shock, "YOUR FATHER TOLD YOU TO CLEAN THE HOUSE, AND WHAT DO YOU DO!? YOU COME UP HERE AND DO NOTHING, YOU LAZY BRAT!" My mother screamed at me.

"I'm sorry, I forgot, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I am," I replied, she rolled her eyes and grabbed my arm, dragging me out of my room and throwing me down the stairs, I screamed in fear. Luckily, when I reached the bottom, I was unharmed. She threw a mop and soap at me and left. I sat up and sighed then began to clean the house.

Ziara's POV

I walked up Mount Ebott, it was midnight, the moon was full, and all the stars were out so it was easy to see. I knew I would be alone here, it was too late for anyone to be out. Eventually, I came to my destination, a large hole in the mountainside, I sat on the edge and looked down into it, the darkness below was... pretty...

I brought my head up and stared at the sky instead, I always preferred night than day, the night was prettier, and at night none of my problems ever affected me, no one was yelling at me and calling me a failure, no one was bullying me because of my eyes.

I fell asleep

Temmie has brought you another temskip

Dawn was breaking, I woke up and found myself sitting on the edge of a hole, I must have fallen asleep. I realized I would have to return home soon. It was Thursday which meant I had to go to school. I sighed.

I stared down into the dark blackness of the hole... it looked so inviting... so much more inviting than the long walk back home... besides, I hated home anyway... and everyone hated me... I went closer to the edge

Why don't I just...

I jumped.
