Chapter 1

Frisk's body landed on the bed of flowers. It hit hard and his body didn't move. Chara rose from her grave again when his body landed on it. She's always awoken by his determination. Chara knew she had to get him to eat the flowers. She would have to possess him again.

Chara glanced over at him. He hadn't gotten up yet. He must be unconscious. Chara thought as she came down beside him. She had to concentrate. She had to get inside his head so she could control him again.

Chara tried for awhile and finally she got ahold of his DT. Her ghostly form flew inside Frisk.

Chara blinked open her amber eyes and sat herself up. She breathed in and out. She knew what she had to do next. She picked a handful of the flowers on her grave then she picked more. If she was going to do this, she needed more than what she gave herself the first time.

Once Chara had more than enough she took a deep breath. She noticed that Frisk was still unconscious. She closed her eyes and shoved the flowers down Frisk's throat.

Chara let go of Frisk's DT. Chara stopped possessing him and became a ghost again. She watched as Frisk's eyes shot open wide. His red eyes looked pained. He gasped for air. He couldn't take the taste. He was dieing. Slowly. Painfully. Just like me. Frisk was coughing and vomiting. His body was trying to get rid of the poison but Chara knew it wouldn't work. She tried the same thing.

"Frisk. You can't keep killing. I'm stopping you. Here and now."

"Heheh…" he coughed up blood "You're stopping me... from killing...by killing me...yourself?"

Chara realized what she had done. Frisk was right.

"That means…" he coughed more blood until he laid on his back and muttered his last words.

"You're no better than ME!" His body went limp and his eyes stayed open. Showing his bright, taunting, red eyes. His last words were as clear as day. He had died. It was over.

Chara felt a bit of sadness. She knew what she did was wrong but...how else was she supposed to stop him? She watched as his soul appeared from his chest. Chara was about to reach out for the soul but she retracted her hand. She couldn't take it.

It would be wrong… if he's dead...than no more resets...but...Flowey can reset with enough DT. If Frisk is dead than Flowey can get control of the timeline! I can't let him screw up everything!

Chara reached her hand out and touched the soul. As her hand touched it a bright white light appeared and lit up the room.

Chara eyes adjusted to the light as the room came back to normal. She blinked her eyes open and saw she was on the ground. She sat herself up again and looked around. The first thing she noticed was Frisk's body was missing. She tilted her head in confusion. Wasn't he...

When she was distracted by the missing body she didn't hear someone come into the room. She hear a sharp gasp and whipped around quickly to find her mother in awe. Her hands were near her face as if she was going to cover her mouth. She had tears coming from her eyes and rolling down her cheeks.

Chara looked up to see a goat monster wearing a purple dress with a pattern of the Delta Rune.

"Chara? Is that...really you...my child?" Toriel took a few steps towards Chara.

Chara replied in an almost non existent voice, "Mom?"

As Toriel came closer to Chara, Chara saw something change in her mother. Instead of seeing her normally, her mother had a giant cut in her dress. Her eyes were tears of blood and her eyes which were normally a dark red, turned right red. Like Frisk's.

Chara started to back away in fear. She wasn't sure what was happening. Was this her mother? What was wrong with her?

Toriel, seeing the concern and terror on her daughter's face, rushed over to Chara, knelt down and hugged her. Chara for a second froze. She got the image of her zombie like mother out of her head and wondered why her mother was able to see, hear and touch her. Then she realized. She was alive. She hugged her mother tightly and started to cry as well. The two hugged and cried for a while until Toriel took her child by her shoulders and smiled down at her.

Chara saw that her mother looked normal now. Weird. Must have been...the light...or something…The two stood up and started walking through the ruins.

Chara held Toriel's hand through the ruins. Toriel asked how Chara came back but Chara didn't know. She told Toriel that it must have been a miracle even though Chara knew exactly knew what had happened. Toriel took Chara back to her home in the ruins. Chara was too happy to care about a lot of problems that were current.

She didn't want to know how she was alive. She didn't even think about it then. She was just happy that she was alive and breathing and walking and talking. And in her own body nonetheless.

Chara sat down at the small table in her mother's home. Toriel baked a butterscotch-cinnamon pie and gave a slice to Chara.

"Chara...so much has changed since you've...parted from us…" Toriel said as she grabbed a chair and sat next to her daughter.

Chara, pretending she didn't already know asked,

"Oh! Really? Like what?"

"Well...as you can see...I've left your father."

Toriel's voice sounded upset. Chara knew this but she still hated hearing it.

It must have been hard on them. But she and Dad were so happy. Why did they have separate? Why can't they just make-up?

"Oh...I see…" Chara trying to sound like she didn't know but she was still upset about it too.

"But, but you can stay here! With me! We could be happy here!"

"Yeah. You're right…" Chara loved her mother but she didn't want to be cooped up in one place for the rest of her life. She wanted to stay...but somewhere deep down..she wanted to get out. Something didn't feel right.

After Chara ate her pie, Toriel showed her to her new room. It was a small reddish-pink room with one bed off to the right and a dresser behind it. It had a box of old shoes and a toy chest.

Chara felt so tired. She hadn't gotten sleep in about 20 years or so. Plus she had walked a long way to get to that house. She got into the bed and Toriel tucked her in. She turned off the lights and let her daughter sleep. When Toriel closed the door, Chara's eyes shut the moment the light went out. She tried to fall asleep, but all she could hear was Frisk's last words ring in her head like a broken record.

You're no better than ME!
