Author's note: Look, this is my first fanfiction I've put out. I have done role plays, but not one on Undertale. I know that Chara and Frisk are gender neutral, but I always saw Chara as a boy and Frisk a girl. Please don't show too much hate on this. If you have suggestions and not hate comments, please review and I'll do my best to either edit it later or add it in for later chapters. Anyway, I'm making this M just cause you'll never know and knowing me, later on, there will be M stuff. So, please have fun and if you like it enough, then share it with your friends, you know, the ones that know you go on this site and give no fucks. See, there is one reason for the rating! My own language!~! I own nothing but this fiction idea, Toby Fox owns Undertale. OK, let's go.
Chapter One
Frisk decided to climb the mountain, always hearing the rumors of people going up there and never coming back. It all started about a hundred years ago with the first case being a young child running up there. Her family had always said to her since she was a baby that the child, Chara, was her grandmother's twin brother. "He went up there to kill himself", Frisk's grandmother had said many times, "because he didn't want to live with an abusive step-father that mostly had beaten poor Chara for his bad mouth. After my brother ran off, your great grandmother had my step-father leave and had most of the family searching for her son. It wasn't until a year to that day we found out Chara's fate."
"A boss-monster carried his lifeless body towards the village and laid him down on the meadow of buttercups, Chara's favorite thing about the village. The villagers had attacked the monster, convinced that the monster had killed the sad child. I, however, thought differently once I saw his face. The monster looked so sad, on the verge of tears," she recollected sadly, being on the verge of crying herself each time she told this part, "before taking my dead twin up again and running out of the village, back up the mountain. I felt so heartbroken at that sight that I married out of the village once I was old enough, knowing that all the people in it had tried to kill the monster that was only returning my brother."
So, after hearing that told to her over and over after Frisk's ten years of life, she went up the mountain. Young Frisk could barely understand the signs (because of the long words that are all 'legal stuff' as her grandmother said) they put up along the trail to the mountaintop, but they all meant to turn back. The signs went up over the years from the six other people that went missing in the hundred year span between Chara and now. Most people didn't have the DETERMINATION to get past the third sign that was about a mile up. Frisk panted and gasped for breath, making it up to the end of the trail after three hours of climbing, she being only ten and clad in her favorite striped sweater her grandmother had knitted her made things harder, but, thankfully, she had thought ahead to pack enough water and some food for the hike.
Frisk looked up at the sky, frowning inwardly. She had always felt the pull to something in the mountain, but it wasn't until her grandmother had said that Chara was her age when he went up to kill himself that she used all her DETERMINATION to climb here to give her respects to her long-dead family member. Shrugging off the backpack, she take out the last of the ham sandwich her grandmother had packed for the first day of school Frisk was meant to be at now. Knowing that her grandmother will be angry at her once she saw the note that explains why she skipped school to do this. She is the only family Frisk had known, her mother dying in her childbirth and her father dumping Frisk onto her grandmother a month after that, claiming he couldn't handle a reminder or a child that will have a speech impediment. So, with speech being an issue, Frisk's grandmother taught her how to sign and write at an early age, explaining that she had that problem as well now and then.
Thinking of her grandmother made poor Frisk want to run back down the mountain side to hug her. She shook her head, doing her best to keep her course, turning towards the woods while feeling determined, heading to the spot she was drawn to the most. There, at the spot, was a rather large pit, so dark and brooding that she is sure this is where Chara went. Setting the backpack down at the spot, Frisk moved forward to see if she could spot the bottom. Not looking where she stepped, Frisk tripped over a thick vine, tumbling forward, into the pit, almost like her ancestor did a hundred years before….
Groaning, Frisk woke up sore, almost like the time she went swimming at the beach with her grandmother (who was a very active member of the village, even for an 117-year-old woman) and her estranged father for hours, getting sun burnt and a small shell out of it. Pushing herself up, Frisk saw that she had landed on a bed of flowers, buttercups to be exact. That made her feel weird, knowing that Chara's dead body had laid on a similar bed of flowers in the village by the monster. Shaking her head to wake up fully enough to stand, she made her way into a room that had a strange spot of grass in the center of it. Moving closer to it, a flower suddenly popped out of the ground, not only that, it had… a face?
"Howdy! I'm Flowey, Flowey the Flower!" the flower said. Frisk backed up some, staring wide-eyed at the thing. How- how did that thing-? The thought was interrupted by it. "You're new to the underground, aren'tcha? Golly, this must be so confusing to you. No worries! Your friend, Flowey, is here to help ya out!" It winked at her just before things got weirder.
Frisk felt something being pulled out of her chest as the background of the room darken and all color had left from Flowey and her, leaving them both black and white. Looking down, Frisk let out a shocked gasp, seeing a shining, red heart over her chest. "This is your SOUL, it's what you use to make friends down here! You make friends by gaining LV. What's 'LV' you ask? It means LOVE, of course!" Frisk saw something moving behind him. Suddenly, six flower petals came forward towards her, moving slowly to Frisk's SOUL. "These are called 'friendliness pellets'. These are how you gain LOVE. You want some LOVE, right? Then run into the pellets!"
Being overly trusting, Frisk had walked forward, into the pellets…. Only that once one hit her SOUL, she fell to the ground, pain raking through her. She could almost see numbers in front of her suddenly dropping down from twenty to one HP. Looking up at Flowey in confusion, wondering if this was supposed to hurt so much, only to see the flower's face had morphed into something that wasn't so friendly. "You idiot. " The flower said, it's voice becoming something demonic, "In this world, it's kill or BE killed. Why would ANYONE pass up an opportunity like this?! DIE." More flower petals appeared, surrounding Frisk and her small heart. Flowey started to laugh manically, making the petals close around her.
Then suddenly, the petals disappeared, shocking Frisk, making her almost miss the fact her HP was fully restored. Flowey seemed confused as well when a flame suddenly knocked it out of the ground, making it yelp. Looking around for the reason why the flame came out, she saw a tall goat like woman stepping out of the shadows. After what happened, Frisk try to cover her SOUL out of fear of being attacked again. She sees it was stupid to do that once she talked. "My, what a terrible creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth… Ah, do not be afraid, my child. I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins. I pass through here every day to see if anyone had fallen down. You are the first human to come here in a long time. Come! I will guide you through the catacombs" The color came flooding back along with the background once she stepped forward. She held out her clawed hand to the confused Frisk, smiling at her to reassure her. She took Toriel's hand and smiled back, quickly following her out of the room…
AN: Welp, hoped you guys liked that. I'm going to skip ahead in the next chapter to the point where Frisk arrives at Torri's house. I know I screwed up on some dialogue Flowey had, but hey, this is my first time doing this and I'll edit it if you guys dislike it too much. If I do well enough on this, I'll make one where… well, you guys will see. I'll do my best to make the next one a bit longer. Anywho, please let me know what you think and I'll do my best!
