Memories

by constantly-surviving

What if even after 10 years, none of the monsters had left the Underground? What if Humans had even forgotten monsters ever existed? What if Frisk forgets it all too? After leaving the Underground, Frisk is "rescued" by frightened humans who happen upon the newly surfaced group. Too many times being dropped by the Humans while running away causes Frisk to lose her memory!

1. Prologue

10 years have passed since the citizens of the Underground have been freed, yet, they are terrified still of seeing the Aboveworld and Humans. And yet again, there is something they do not know. When Frisk, the young gender ambiguous child who freed them all, initially fell they came from a time when Humans had all but remembered that monsters even existed. Since the destruction of The Barrier, not one monster has exited the Underground because of their fear of being persecuted once again.

This leaves us a lot of questions, doesn't it? Why hasn't Toriel, Asgore, Sans, Papyrus, Frisk, or any other members of the gang said anything? They all left the Underground upon the Barrier breaking, didn't they? We all saw them run off.

Yes, they left the Underground. But, when they happened upon some unsuspecting humans, all they encountered was fear. All any of those few humans saw was 6 terrifying creatures they had never seen before. And they had kidnapped a small 8 year old girl. Scared for the young girls life, and their own, the humans fought against them. Alas, they were no match for the monsters. Only 2 humans made it out unscathed, with our young protagonist, not knowing what they had done. This results in fear for our 6 loved ones, and them resorting to hiding on the Mt. Ebott, waiting and planning.

What happened to Frisk, you ask? Nothing pains me more than to tell you that while the humans scurried off with the child, they were jostled around so much that they were dropped many times, resulting in Frisk losing their memory of their entire adventure and even before they fell. The only thing they remembered was their own name.

Now, in 211x, Frisk is an oddly adventurous 18 year old, happily identifying as genderfluid, but they're okay with she/her pronouns. She does often think about why she has no memory from before she was 8. It gets her down sometimes, but not for long. She's come to really love her foster family very much since they took her in. As the years went by, she was told many scary stories about the horrible and dangerous monsters she was found with.
