Frisk lead the way up the mountainside. Six humans had fell before them, but they would make it. Chara followed, clutching a lantern. Asriel, a monster who had been raised on the surface after being rescued by a group of kind humans, brought up the rear. He knew not of the barrier and the monsters beneath.
"G-Guys, are you sure about this?" Questioned Asriel, stumbling a bit. "And so late at night?" He added.
Frisk nodded. "I'm sure." Her soft voice made the words even more reassuring.
"We better not fall down." Chara said, harshness stilling the creatures of the night's calls.
"Chara, be more optimistic." Frisk said, seeing the cave up ahead. "Look, we're almost there."
The trio made the final steps, standing before the eerie cave. "Now, we go in!" She said, smiling.
Chara inched closer, extending the lantern in. "Seems empty..." She stepped in, examining the cave with the lantern.
"C'mon." She gestured 'follow me' with her arm.
Frisk and Asriel followed, catching up. Suddenly, all three tripped on vines, falling down into the inky blackness.
Everything seemed to slow. Chara was reaching for the surface, her legs curling towards her.
Frisk was oddly calm, her legs lifting towards the surface.
Asriel was falling backwards, his arms and legs towards the surface.
Time sped up. They didn't scream. Chara had a slight smile, Frisk's expression was neutral, and Asriel had panic on his face.
They couldn't scream. Their voices were stolen by the void below.
Frisk looked down. They were close to the ground. She looked back up, not wanting to have the ground the last thing she saw.
She focused on the stars that were still somehow visible, breath slowing.
Then, everything was black.
