Chapter 1: The sheep in wolves clothing
(Third person)
Frisk walked alone in the true lab. The amalgamates were gone, had left for the surface with their families but if any monsters were still here, Frisk was determined to find them. This run was different from his last ones; it had been more 'free'. This run had let him solve a different set of problem with different methods. Frisk contemplated the reasons why as he walked into the refrigerator room and heard something, a distant crying. Frisk ran towards the crying and inhaled it before he saw it; a dust cloud swirling up from the medical tables. Frisk coughed as he walked through the cloud, determined to understand what was going on. As he reached the door frame Frisk had to stop himself from gasping as he saw the interior. The fans were working and had pushed most of the dust into the corridor but were eroding away the monster on the medical table faster. Frisk rushed to the monster, worried as the monster cried on with dusty tears. The monster's legs had atrophied into stick like stumps and its paws were thin. It seemed to be an anthropomorphic creature with vines growing along its body with flowers that had started to wilt and shrivel along with the vines. Frisk held the figure's paw as gently as he could, trying not to hurt the disintegrating monster.
A reedy voice quavered, "Who's *Cough* there! Alphys? are you here to save me!" The monster looked relieved, its blindness giving it hope that someone had come to save it. Frisk told the monster he was a human and asked what happened. "A h-human! get away from me! I don't want the monsters to hurt me more for not killing you" The monster tried to crawl away but one of its stumps of a paw disintegrated from it's feeble weight. Frisk soothed the creature with the news that they aren't killing humans any more. He told it that the barrier is broken. A smile greeted the monster's face and it began to cry all over again.
"I don't want to die, I just wanted to see the surface, so did my family but they were executed for… Something. The monsters caught me picking Rhododendrons from the gardens for my family's grave, but they thought I was going to try and poison them as a revenge for my family's execution. I could have attacked, I could have fled and hid but I knew it was useless to fight. They beat me to near death and then they dumped me here for Alphy's experiments but she instead decided to take me in. One day she disappeared and now *Cough* I'm about to die alone while everyone is having fun on the surface. I don't know what I expected but that seems to be my fate."
Frisk tried to divert her with a query.
"My name is Rose what's yours? Frisk huh? that's an interesting name" Rose said before going into a coughing fit. Her eyes widened in panic as she strained for breath.
"I don't want to die. I want to see the surface and try Nice-cream and make friends and…. and" Rose stopped as the stumps of her legs broke off and began to disintegrate immediately. Frisk looked at Rose, a monster who was attacked and was now made to die for something completely innocent, an attempt to honor a loved one. Frisk knew he could actually change the outcome this time. He cupped his hands against his chest and summoned his soul into his hands. He held it out to Rose who felt the presence and gasped before coughing and spluttering. "I can't take this, you deserve a happy life on the surface with your family and friends… I have nothing to live for. Please leave me to die in peace and go to the surface" Rose said as she refused to take Frisk's soul.
Frisk moved closer, practically touching the soul to Rose's chest. "I can't I-I W-w-wont" The yawning chasm of eternal night stretched wider inside Rose and, as she to grew more afraid of her impending doom, the freely offered soul became an almost unbearable temptation. Frisk told Rose that he had lived more lifetimes then most people could ever dream of and that everyone deserves a second chance. Rose hesitated before reaching out for Frisk's hands. "Just promise me that if you are inside my head that you will guide me though and be my friend?" Frisk nodded before saying yes as she finally grabbed his hands with what remained of hers. A blinding light filled the room, going all the way to the surface as Frisk's determination and soul repair Rose's crumbling body.
