This had been going on much longer than Frisk could remember. They'd get so far, and then reset, and then begin again, over and over. They used to keep track of how many times it had been, but after so many times they began to lose count and it began to be pointless to even try anymore. But they could not give up trying to be good and go down the correct path! Especially not when-
"Friiiiiisk, I'm bored now. You're fucking boring, let's just kill them all already, please?" Chara. The two of them were stuck sharing a body and would fight for control. It was often a race to be the one who hit the reset button and the one who won got control of the body until the next reset. Frisk always did their best to not let the winner be Chara, but they could not win every single one and Chara played dirty. Luckily, this run Frisk had been the one to hit the reset button before Chara. Chara was in control last time, and Frisk had to watch as everyone they loved was murdered for the thousandth time by Chara. Every time, Frisk would try and warn them, tell them to run and go far away, but they could never be seen. The only one who could see them was Chara, and Frisk felt that Chara had a sick enjoyment at seeing them try so hard before murdering their friends.
Frisk shook their head and signed at Chara. "No killing." They weren't able to speak. There had been some sort of accident when they were younger that left their vocal cords damaged, but Frisk could not remember what had caused it. After the accident, their parents had them all learn sign language, which Frisk was very grateful about. It did make it difficult when trying to talk to people who did not know sign, but Frisk had learned to deal with it.
Chara, on the other hand, just huffed and glared at Frisk. "You're such a wimp, we could get so much farther and so much stronger if you just killed everyone. Or better yet, gave me control of our body for a bit, you know, just for half a run."
Frisk narrowed their eyes at Chara as they walked. They were already nearly done with this run and intent on not letting Chara have the next run either. "My body, you mean." They signed, frowning at the translucent form of Chara. "It's not your body."
"It could be." Chara said, smirking. "I just have to figure out how to get rid of you and then this body is all mine." They laughed, but Frisk ignored them. They were coming upon the hall where Sans would judge them and did not want the skeleton to see them signing at nothing. They were sure that would not be a good thing. Frisk had the inkling of a feeling that Sans might have some idea of what was happening, but never mentioned it to e skeleton. They did not want to assume and then thrust the reality of the situation onto their best friend.
As they walked into the hall and saw Sans waiting their for them, Frisk went to smile and was ready to be judged, but then Chara took off down the hall ahead of them, leaving Frisk staring with wide eyes. They were heading for the reset point, they were going to reset the timeline before Frisk had a chance to go through the motions of the end! This was something that had not happened yet, but Frisk could not let it happen. So rather than let Sans get a word in, Frisk took off, darting after Chara desperately. They had to beat their counterpart to the check point! They couldn't watch their friends, their family, die another time!
"Hey, kid, wait!" Frisk could hear Sans behind them, but they did not stop. They could see the translucent form of Chara ahead of the, looking over their shoulder and giving Frisk an evil grin. Frisk shook their head and pushed themself harder, faster, just to catch up with Chara. They barely noticed as they ran passed Asgore, startling the king at their sudden entrance, and even more so when Frisk did not even stop at the sight of the King. It would not matter anyways, not if Frisk could not get to the reset point before Chara.
Frisk ran through the doors into the tunnel just in time to see Chara turn to look back at Frisk with a smirk. But that just filled Frisk with DETERMINATION, and they forced themself to sprint and jump ask Chara went to push the reset button. As Chara's hand hit the reset button, Frisk's hand came down on it at the same time. They looked at each other in shock for a moment before Chara smirked.
"Perfect. . ." Chara hissed as everything faded away.
