MissingTale(Short Story | Chara's Findings)

After Frisk left the room, Chara looked around a bit wanted to make sure they didn't miss anything before going to the next room. They had taken off their old green and yellow striped shirt that was covered in dust. Chara never knew why there was so much dust around here. It didn't look natural, unlike the built-up dust in this place. Chara put on the new yellow and green striped shirt. Chara pondered and questioned why all these new shirts were in an abandoned house like this. They had been neatly folded and everything. Something didn't fit.

They left the room and went into the one beside it. This room was blue. And and looked bigger than the last one. The bed was in the far left corner and had a table at the end of it, facing the wall. There was a table, a lamp and a diary. It was closed and also looked dusty. The whole room in fact was dusty. There were books on the bookshelf that was next to the bed and a small dresser after that.

What took Chara's interest were the golden flowers on the bookshelf. They were wilted but still had a slight golden glow. Nothing seemed too interesting in here otherwise and they didn't want to look at all the books.

They had left the room and went to the next one but it was barricaded. Wood covering the door. It didn't help that the door was locked too. They gave up on it and went to the mirror beside the door. They looked at themselves. They couldn't see to well with their hair covering their eyes. They brushed it out of their face and then looked. Bright red eyes shone back at them. They weren't worried about them though. This was the first time they had seen themselves and they didn't wonder anything about it. They just looked. Chara gave a weak smile as they looked. Then they frowned as they saw something behind them. A picture.

It was covered in dust and it was hard to make out what it was, but from what they could tell it looked like a monster and a human. They seemed happy. Chara turned to face it and looked at it more carefully. They took the dust off but the glass was fogged. Chara tried to see what else was in the picture but it was hopeless. Chara didn't want to look at it anymore. It made them feel uneasy. They looked away from it and their stomach growled. Chara walked away from the mirror and went towards the kitchen.
