Chapter 1: Why Now?
"Why?" said Frisk as she stood there in the middle of a Blizzard. "Why is this so hard all of a sudden?" She was not alone, across from her about twenty feet or so away was the tall skeleton with a bright red scarf wrapped around his neck. "This shouldn't be so hard, I've killed him, Undyne, Sans, everyone before." She stated before continuing "I… I even killed mom… twice." That was what she got hung up on. The first time killing everyone was easy none of them truly meant anything to her as she never truly bothered to care about what they said, she never bothered to listen.
The thing that threw her for a loop was the handful of changes she noticed. Previously she received the same old same old of "You're no human You're a demon!" or the oh so classic "I Hate you!" and everybody's seemingly favorite last words of "Burn in hell you demonic piece of SHIT!" none of their words truly mattered she simply went and cut them down all the same. She was first thrown off when she killed Toriel. Not only did Toriel stand firm after a handful of attacks but she seemed like she was fully expecting to be killed and was merely disappointed rather than surprised when Frisk delivered the final blow with her knife. "It was as if she already knew everything that would happen" she thought aloud.
Of course what hurt her worse than any of the flames Toriel sent her way had been those final words. "Please my child… try to be a good person… try to find true enjoyment in life. Don't go down the same dark path again please… I love you." Three words she never believed she would hear. So why did they hurt her so much? "It's not like I have a soul anymore if anything I should feel even less than last time… though that wasn't too much to begin with."
Despite her questions she knew there were not any answers to be found. Soon after she left the ruins she resumed her killing however, it felt different, she did not feel stronger with each kill she felt like there was a pressure mysteriously crush her inside her chest. She had been able to ignore it up to now but suddenly it was becoming harder and harder to breathe.
She recalled another change was from that short skeleton the first time it was a death threat this time it was simply a request based off of some more than likely pointless hope. She recalled his words "Kid please do me a favor, when you confront my brother please don't do anything rash." Well seeing how there was no way to avoid a confrontation with Papyrus she came to a decision. "I guess it's do or die time" She stepped forward to meet the taller of the skeletons.
"HUMAN!" the large skeleton exclaimed. "I JUST WANTED TO SAY YOU'RE WEIRD." He paused briefly.
"Understatement of the century." She mumbled unaware of how surprisingly loud her voice had been.
"DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?" he questioned
Taken by surprise from his impressive hearing she gave a startled reply "No… Nothing… No I didn't say a thing." She finished.
"WELL THEN AS I WAS SAYING YOU'RE WEIRD!" he said before he began his list "YOU DON'T SEEM TO ENJOY PUZZLES AT ALL, YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO WALK EVERYWHERE LIKE YOU ARE SHAMBLING, YOU ALWAYS HAVE THIS DEMONIC EXPRESSION ON YOUR FACE AS IF YOU CARE NOTHING FOR THE WORLD, AND… AND YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO BE SUSPICIOUSLY COVERED IN DUST." He pauses and breathed in before continuing. "WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT YOU ARE WALKING A DANGEROUS PATH AND ONE MISSTEP COULD LAND YOU INTO DEEP TROUBLE."
Frisk had a look of shock on her face 'This bag of bones seriously cares about me?' the thought seemed silly but his face showed her a look of legitimate concern. "Oh my god he's being serious." She said to herself this time much more aware of her volume.
"BUT FEAR NOT HUMAN I THE GREAT PAPYRUS SHALL HELP YOU!" he began
'Don't say it.' The though crossed her mind immediately.
"I SHALL BE YOUR…" he continued
"Please stop Papyrus, please don't do this to me." She said in a barely audible whisper
"FRIEND!" he finished.
"NO!" She shouted "I CAN'T BE YOUR FRIEND." Silence filled the air as the storm itself seemed to halt from her words. "I… I don't deserve your friendship I've killed too many people to be worthy of having any friends." Why was she saying these things last time when she still had a soul she did not feel anything? So why was she all of a sudden feeling guilty? Then she recalled a similar feeling from her battle with Sans' 'You felt your sins crawling on your back.'
Thinking about it she found it rather ironic how those feelings chose now to resurface. "I don't know if I have it in me to do all of this again." She said feeling her own legs beginning to tremble. They weren't going to hold out much longer. Suddenly her memories were resurfacing from when she previously faced down against Papyrus.
The weather was harsh with the nearly Arctic level wind of snowdin pounded across her face. She hated this weather and felt the urge to stab something and what better than an idiotic skeleton that mad the dumb mistake of getting in her way and pissing her off.
She wasted no time closing the distance before she picked up a rock and threw a large rock straight at the skeletons' head hitting the mark directly. She then rushed in and plunged her knife directly into his sternum before twisting and tearing it out leaving his rib cage torn open. She then proceeded to stab directly into his spine shattering a few vertebrae in the process before quickly removing the knife and using it to separate his skull from his broken body. He tried to say something but he never even uttered the first word before she brought the rock down from earlier smashing it against his skull causing it to cave in. She watched as the body turned to dust and was swept away in the wind before looking at the skull as it began to do the same.
Every single moment was vividly replayed in her mind; she was completely disgusted by how horrible she had been. Tears welled up in her eyes and her legs gave way. Frisk had dropped to her knees bawling her eyes out. She was losing her will to fight and did not even know if she wanted to continue living.
"HUMAN PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE I'M CERTAIN WE CAN BE GOOD FRIENDS IF YOU TRY."
"I Said No Papyrus! Besides don't you understand I'm not some child who has simply lost her way… I'm a cold blooded, soulless, sadistic killer." Frisk said confessing her sins to Papyrus.
"HUMAN I BELIEVE THERE IS GOOD IN EVERYONE INCLUDING YOU BUT I NEED YOU TO PLACE YOUR TRUST IN ME."
"Papyrus" Frisk said with deep regret in her voice.
"YES HUMAN?" said Papyrus suddenly question her change of tone.
"If you won't get out of my way then you will have to fight me." Said Frisk readying for battle.
Papyrus P.O.V.
"HUMAN I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT YOU." I said in a desperate attempt to keep the confrontation from further escalating. This whole scenario felt somehow very familiar to me but it felt like I might actually get through to her. I wish to save the human from the dark path she is treading. I see something inside her something filled with hope, joy, life. It seemed as if there were shadows desperately attempting to conceal her light. But the façade was breaking I was successfully getting through to that young girl filled with life. But then she said something that took me off guard.
"If you won't fight back then I'll just have to force you to." I heard the girl say to me with desperation in her voice. She really wanted me to hate her so I would fight back against her? This human was a strange one indeed.
My thoughts were cut short as I came back into focus just in time to see her dashing towards me preparing to strike. I couldn't move, I couldn't talk, all I could do was stand there frozen as I awaited my demise.

End of Chapter 1
AN: hey everyone this was my very first fanfic so I decided to do it on undertale however instead of simply doing a one shot or whatever I decided to do something a bit more ambitious (and probably stupid) so I plan for this to be two stories that connect to one another this is the first story and will only be about 4 chapters. Basically we are saying to hell with the pacifist route and even the corrupted pacifist route we are doing something a wee bit different. Anyway I already have part of my sequel story set up however I also had this idea a little longer so I decided hell Frisk can reset some things so why not connect the two storylines also if you don't like the dark tone of this story well don't worry this chapter is about as dark as it will get. May not be but I can say for certain that the sequel story I've got in the works will be much more upbeat.
Well anyway leave a review and tell me what you think so far. Constructive criticism is welcome.
Until next chapter this has been Fogstorm621 Hasta La Bye Bye!
