Hello, Undertale fandom!
This will be a continuation of the pacifist route, but it devles into Chara and Frisk's lives before they came to the underground, as well as adding a spinkling of my own theories and twists. This will follow their day-to-day lives, with multiple conflicts.
I hope you like it!
NOTE: THIS STORY WILL NOT BE UPDATED AGAIN UNTIL STARRY SKIES IS FINISHED.
Frisk never regretted staying with Toriel and the others, not a second. They treated them like they were worth having around, even as they made mistakes. So it was only natural that when Chara was agitating them over their past life, they retaliated.
"Chara, you say her name, and I will rip your soul from the void it is in." Frisk said, eyes glowing an eerie purple color. They were hostile, but they pitied Chara a little. That didn't change the fact that they were going to rip them out of the void if they said anymore about their past life. Frisk was only doing this for Chara, but the anger they felt was real. Chara grinned as they flickered in and out of existence.
"Oh please," Chara sneered, "It's not like mommy dearest would ever suspect me. Besides, she says you're good enough for her, I suppose you weren't good enough for your mother, or should I say, Mika."
That was it. Reaching into thin air, they yanked their hand out, only to reveal the body of Chara. It was obvious that she was a girl, just like Frisk, but they didn't know if Chara was agender. Was that the right term? Frisk thought so.
Chara hit the ground with a loud thud, attracting the attention of Toriel and Sans.
They ran up the stairs as Frisk got up.
Throwing open the door, Toriel gasped at the sight of Chara on the floor, Frisk standing up and putting her on the bed.
Sans' eye sockets glowed a bright blue. Frisk looked over at him, shaking their head no. Sans shot them a warning look, and Frisk looked back at them with a hard stare, shaking their head no.
His eye socket dimmed down, as Chara raised their eyebrows.
"But...Chara? How?" Toriel managed to get out.
"I did some research. As it turns out, you only needed five human souls to break that barrier, and the plan was to get Chara to eat buttercups, a flower that has magical properties and can pull you in the void if you eat enough, also making it look like Chara died, while she was in the void all this time, watching. Waiting for the chance to come back. Their soul was still used, but not in the way you think it would." Frisk began to explain.
"Remember how I suddenly gained magical powers?" They asked, turning to Sans.
Sans nodded. "yeah, it was strange. what's that have to do with anything kid?"
"Well, the other effect of chara going into the void is that she lost her soul temporarily, causing it to pick another human to host it." they explained, waiting for Chara to pick it up.
She caught on, and began to explain. Her bangs covered her eyes, so they couldn't see the tears of regret building up in them. "My soul stayed inside my body, but as Toriel took my body and buried it under the flowers, the humans that fell on those flowers were possessed by my soul, which was possessed by evil, leading them to kill some monsters they encountered. Fortunately, they each had their own specific trait that allowed them to fight against the other soul that had invaded them. They were all killed by Asgore in the end. I also know what it feels like to have two souls in my body. My father was a serial killer, and he would abuse me from time to time, but one night, he got into a fight, and stumbled home, where he died before my mother and I. His soul floated out of him, and as I was the closest, and 7, so I reached out and touched it. For 7 more years, I was tormented by constant thoughts of wanting to kill something, anything. I was rude to everyone I met. Once I had fallen down, the part of me that was my father's soul was tamed for a bit, and I was able to be the perfect child that you know, Toriel." she said, voice quivering slightly.
Frisk's eyes widened as they saw two tears fall from Chara's eyes.
"Then, he came back, wanting me to kill the monsters and humanity. I knew I had to do something-anything-to rid the evil soul that dwelled inside me, so when I found out about the buttercups, I managed to convince Asriel to let me 'kill' myself, and what power I could use from my father's soul, I split it in half, leaving half to exist beyond my grave, to convince the others I was 'dead', and the other half possessed Frisk and the others, giving them what magic power my father had gained. But, that doesn't change the fact that those innocent kids are dead because of me." Chara finished, tears flowing like a river down her face.
"i thought humans couldn't absorb other human souls." Sans said.
"My father was never human, and some humans are tainted. When a human kills or injures another living being intentionally more than once, their soul becomes tainted, and keeps becoming tainted until it's black, unlike pure souls that are completely a solid color. Some humans are born more pure than others. Anyway, the soul becomes more tainted as it goes on, so if someone hit another person, their soul wouldn't be tainted, but if they did it again, then it would taint. We call these tainted souls, the Dark Stars. Humans can absorb tainted souls, but are not given any power unless it is extracted by the host of the soul." she said, head in her lap as she tucked their legs into herself.
"So, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not telling you, and I'm sorry for making you all suffer." Chara cried, tears spilling over their cheeks.
All was quiet, the two monsters watching as Frisk wrapped their arms around Chara.
"It's alright..." Frisk soothed, making Chara look at the other human in shock. Frisk opened their arms for a hug, which Chara excepted, wrapping her arms around the girl and crying into her shoulder.
Toriel snapped out of her stupor, walking over to her two adopted children and taking them in her arms, she whispered, "It's okay, my child, you weren't in control, you had no idea. It's okay. I'm just glad you're alive."
Sans only nodded at the girl, showing his sympathy, but still letting her know he was suspicious.
(The next day)
After the other residents of the house (who were overjoyed to see her back) were told her story, they prepared a room for Chara. She had slept in Frisk's room the first night. It was right in-between Frisk's room and Papyrus' so she could go to either one to talk.
Toriel had registered her for school, and she would be starting school on Monday. Her cover story was that she was Frisk's twin, who had transferred away but was now back.
She rolled over on her side, grabbing the laptop that was provided for her. She sat up, setting the computer up and getting onto the internet.
She had no idea how they could afford all of this, and Toriel was taking her and Frisk out tomorrow to shop for decorations for her room. Maybe Toriel had made a company? That sounded plausible. They did use chunks of solid gold in the underground, so maybe that was it?
She shrugged.
Clicking onto Youtube, she browsed around a bit, subscribing to funny gaming channels she found, (Markiplier, Jackscepticeye, Game Grumps, Commander Holly...etc.) and other random channels.
Clicking onto the game grumps' channel, she went to playlists, selecting the playlist titled Super Mario 64.
The first episode started, and she lied down.
"I really don't deserve to be forgiven." she thought. "But I suppose these idiots just won't give up."
Was it any good? I hope you liked it.
Question Time:
Do you guys listen to Panic! at the disco?
Until next time,
