My name is Chara Dreemurr. I do not know how, but I have awoken in the body of a small, quiet child, in a world I only vaguely remember. This is quite a conundrum, no?
"Asriel! You can't give up now! We still have to save everyone, remember? All we need is seven souls and everyone will be free!" I said this as my brother, my very best friend, took yet another blow.
"All you need to do is attack them back!" I insisted, watching as he was wounded again.
"I can't, Chara, i-it's not right..." I was very confused by this, of course. It made no sense!
"What do you mean?! They're the enemy! They're attacking you! All you need to do is attack them back and everyone will be happy!"
"I..." His grip around my lifeless body tightened. Here it comes, I thought, preparing to watch him blow them all away. It's not like they didn't all deserve it, anyway.
"I can't." He smiled, turned around, and began to walk away.
"What?!" I yelled, confused and angry. Why wasn't he fighting back? Doesn't he know how horrible these people are? How happy Mom and Dad will be once they see we've broken the Barrier?
"I'm sorry, Chara. I can't do this. Let's go home."
"Asriel, no you have to fight back! If they think you're weak, they'll hurt you even more! Asriel, come on, listen to me!" But he wouldn't. He refused to.
"Asriel!" He shuffled and limped all the way back to the Barrier's entrance, standing there for a moment, doing nothing.
"We have to go back, we have to! Asriel, just listen to me! I'm not your enemy, they are!" He stepped through the Barrier, oddly silent.
"Asriel! Chara! Oh, my children!" Mom ran over to us, bringing Asriel into a hug. Then she noticed the wounds, her eyes going as wide as plates and her face just as pale.
"Oh my goodness! Asriel, what happened to you?!" He smiled and laughed, and didn't stop for a few moments.
"Mom...I'm so sorry..."
"Oh Asriel, it's going to be alright. Asgore, fetch the doctor as quickly as yo-"
But when she turned back to her child, he was no more.
And neither was I.
