Fate of the Fallen

by Jonathan Anubian

Frisk has fallen underground, but she is not alone. Is it just their imagination? Or is Frisk really the innocent face she shows to everyone. This is the story of how Frisk gained her courage and followed her heart on the path she thought was right. Warning: Violence and Major Character Death. This will be an AU.

1. The Fall Prologue

When I fell down into that dark, gaping, hole I wasn't alone.

I'd heard stories that there was a world of monsters below the mountain, and that if you ever wandered up its slopes you'd get killed and eaten. But I couldn't stop her. I've never been able to stop her, she's too strong for me.

"Look Frisk. I wonder if that's where the Monsters live." Grinning at me with that look in her eyes always made me tremble. Everyone knew I was a cowardly child, always shy and hiding behind someone else. But she was the only thing I was really afraid of.

"M-maybe we sh-should go back to the v-village..." Laughing she grabbed my hand, a grip like cold iron.

"Don't be silly, you coward. If there Were any monsters they'd have come down the mountain long ago and eaten everyone. But, you know... I wonder if there really is something down there. Something the adults just don't want us to see." A side glance made me shiver and swallow a whimper. No one could stop her now, she was too determined all the time. Determined to go her own way no matter the consequences.

I should have been stronger. I should have stopped her. But there was nothing I could do back then. It was my fate to fall, but it was also hers.

"Woah, looks at that. It's so dark and creepy. Come on Frisk, come look at this with me." Shifting my feet a little closer to the edge of the gap I shook as I stared down into that abyss. But as I looked closer I could see something bright at the bottom of that endless darkness. Was that... a bed of yellow flowers? Suddenly I felt something push me from behind and flailed my arms, trying to keep my balance.

"Tch, you're always such a cowardly nuisance. Maybe you should just jump and do everyone a favor." Turning pale as I began to fall I reached out and latched onto her arm as if she were my only life-boat in an ocean storm.

"H-Hey! Wha-" That was when we fell. That long descent that made me feel as if I were being swallowed by the darkness. Closing my eyes I felt the tears leave my cheeks as I realized that we were going to die. But it wasn't my fault.

It wasn't my fault.
