Frisk awakes to take in the world around her. For a moment she panics before remembering that she was now living with Chara. It felt strange to think that. She cries out as a rather sharp needle like pain shoots through her wrist. Tears spill down her face, and she holds the wrist delicately. The door bursts open, and she finds arms wrap around her. Frisk is momentarily confused, until she suddenly remembers who it is.
Her body starts to relax against Chara. "Are you okay Frisk?" She asks in concern. She pulls away a bit to stare into Frisk's lilac colored eyes. She can see the tears that glide down the younger girl's cheek, and she wipes them away wordlessly. Frisk for a brief second looks like she is unsure if she should tell Chara. When she lived with her mommy and daddy, she would get punished if she bothered them about any injuries. As if reading her mind, the older girl speaks up. "You don't have to worry, I'm not going to punish you if you tell me something is wrong." She reassures.
Frisk bites her lip, before trusting that Chara won't actually hurt her. "My hand hurts." Tears well up in her eyes again, and Chara sighs. The two of them would either have to go to the city or they would have to wait for Gaster who was actually certified medic.
"Can I see your hand Frisk?" She questions. Frisk nods, gingerly holding out the hand that was injured. Chara observes it, red eyes taking in the sickening discoloring that surrounded the wrist. It was bad and Gaster wouldn't be able to return here until around 1:00 PM. She didn't trust the city, but Frisk was in pain. Chara had the urge to slaughter those Humans again. "Can you be a big girl and wait until later. Somebody will be over, and they can heal you right up." Chara assures her. The young girl nods, smiling.
Getting up from where she had kneeled next to Frisk. She walks to the kitchen. "So what would you like to eat Frisk?" She questioned the small. The small child seemed thoughtful eyes wide.
"Can we have pancakes?" She questioned. Chara nodded smiling softly at the young scared girl. She began making pancakes, and placed a plate down. She watched happily as Frisk ate. She waited until Frisk was done eating before picking the plate up and bringing it over to the sink. Looking at the clock she found it was only 10:00 AM.
She needed to do something that would distract Frisk from the pain of her wrist until Gaster returned. "Hmm, Frisk would you like to here a story?" She questioned the young girl. Frisk nodded, eyes staring at Chara. The two of them went to sit down at the couch, and Chara smiles happily at Frisk as she sits in her lap. "Okay well this story is rather quiet long, and it might be a little sad. I hope you don't mind." Chara said.
"I don't mind, I just want to hear a story from you Chara." Frisk said sweetly. The older girl nodded.
"Okay well here I go." She says clearing her throat. "Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: Humans and Monsters. One day, war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. The greatest of their magicians sealed the Monsters to the Underground with a magic barrier. However, this barrier is not a perfect barrier." She pauses, letting Frisk absorb the information. She was staring wide eyed at Chara, and the older girl gives her a smile.
"Does that mean the Monsters are evil?" Frisk asked. Chara chuckled, shaking her head no.
"No Frisk, Monsters are made of magic and compassion. They are really kind when you let them be." She says, causing Frisk to nod. "Anyways, many years after the war, in 201X, a human child climbed the mountain where the Monsters were sealed. The reason they did this is because they were treated horribly by the people of her village."
"Really like I was?" The little girl questioned.
"Yes, like you were." Chara says, pulling Frisk close to her. "The child seeing a hole in the mountain decided that they would jump hoping to erase themselves from existence." She said. She heard Frisk gasp. "The child was taking in by the King and Queen of the monsters, and treated with equal respect as their biological son. The two children became friends. They came up with a plan where the Human child would eat Buttercups allowing the other to absorb their SOUL. For you see Monsters can absorb the SOUL of a Human which is a terrible thing. They would then cross the barrier, killing the Humans of the village and bringing six Human SOULs to break the barrier and allowing the Monsters to be free."
"That is horrible." Chara nodded, flinching slightly at Frisk's words.
"Yes, it is. But the Human child's SOUL was resisted by the Monster Child, who didn't want to hurt anyone. The Humans of the village severely injured the two of them, and it took most of the Monster Child's strength to return back to the Underground where they died. The king and queen grieved for their two killed children." By now tears were going down Frisk's eyes, and Chara silently wiped them away.
"That is sad." Chara raised an eyebrow waiting for Frisk to say something more. "All they wanted was to free their family, but they weren't able to do that. I'm glad they didn't kill anyone though." She said. The red eyed girl winced, suddenly realizing that perhaps she shouldn't say the rest of the story. But if she didn't then the Comedian would say something. After all he remembered all the timelines.
"It doesn't end their Frisk." She says, causing the young girl to nod. "The child was taking to a place far away from the castle by their mother. Meanwhile the king wanted to free the monsters and punish Humanity for the death of his children. Six Humans fell down, and six Humans were killed."
"Who were the six Humans?" Frisk asked. Chara sighed, during one of the timelines, she had been awoken by their determination. Finding that they were nothing like Frisk, she lead each of them through the Underground and to their death. Even Mira, Mira who was her little sister.
"Well the first Human to be killed was a teenage girl. Her name was Mira and she had a Light Blue colored SOUL. There are many different versions of what happened to her. All agree on one thing Mira wasn't a good person. She came with a Toy Knife and a Faded Ribbion. She went around killing the Monsters and in the end Asgore was the one to kill her. "
"Why did she do it?"
"The Monsters don't know this, but Mira was the younger sister of the Human Child who wanted to free the Monsters. She had seen the Monster Child carrying the body of her sibling and decided later on she would kill all the Monsters." Chara felt tears welling up in her eyes, but she ignored it. "The second Human to fall was Matthew. This happened many years after Mira fell. Matthew was older then the two who fell before. He was confident and didn't think. He always rushed into a fight, but they didn't think and were killed early on."
"I don't think I want to hear any more about these Humans Chara, maybe later?" Frisk asked unsure if she was offended the older girl who took her in or not. Chara though smiled at Frisk and nodded.
"Well after the sixth Human was killed a seventh one fell down. This Human came from a past much like the first Human child. The determination of the seventh Human Child and their SOUL was what woke up the first Human Child. As a ghost, they helped the seven Human Child through the events, and they succeeded reaching Asgore, but not before killing a few monsters. The first Human Child encouraged them too." Yes, Chara had encouraged Frisk. She remembered that very well. "They spared most of the monsters though, and fought against the King. After they spared the King, they had to fight a very evil creature. It took the six Human SOULs. That made the monster very powerful but the six Human SOULs rebelled against the evil creature. They helped the seventh Human Child."
By now Frisk was starting to be absorbed in the story. She listened intently, and Chara gave her a smile.
"They succeeded in beating the evil Creature and went to the surface, where one of their friends called to talk about what had happened in the Underground. The First Human Child was not happy though. They convinced the seventh to reset the timeline. The seventh Human child remembered it all, and began their own way. They refused to kill the Monsters and befriended them." It had enraged Chara that Frisk had done that. Still though, it had worked and they had gotten their happy ending in a way. "The seventh Human Child fought against the evil creature again, but it turned out that the evil creature was the son of the king and queen. The prince fought against the Human Child but wasn't able to go against their determination. The prince was moved by the determination of the seventh Human Child and broke the barrier freeing the monsters." She decided not to tell Frisk what happened to the prince, her brother Asriel.
"So that means the Monsters should be free right?" Frisk asked. Chara gave a small smile, continuing with the story.
"For a time they were happy, but a powerful being from the Void called PLAYER completely reset the timeline, making everybody forget. The seventh Human child this time was curious what would happen if they killed all the monsters. They went about doing so. They killed all their former friends, but in the end the First Human child took them over. They killed the king, and then erased the world and timeline. The two children were together in the never ending void, always together. Then the seventh Human child sold their soul to the first one. With that they were bound together forever. Even if the timelines kept resetting." The younger girl seemed thoughtful. Chara wondered what was going through her head.
Finally the younger girl spoke up. "Does that mean that the first child had fallen in love with the seventh?" Chara blinked in surprise, but thought back to it. Yes, she had fallen in love with Frisk. Even if she made them keep repeating the timeline though she had no control over her actions thanks to PLAYER.
"Yes, I suppose it does." She sighs. "The first Human Child kept resetting the timelines going through each of those three scenarios over and over again. They grew more and more powerful with each monster they killed. Finally though after hundreds of timelines, they met another being. This being offered them a way to be free from PLAYER and so the first child took it, if only to be able to live with the seventh child they fell in love with. And so they planned and planned, but nobody knows if they succeeded or not." She told the younger girl. Nobody knew because they hadn't done the plan yet.
"Thank you Chara for the story." Frisk says, giving Chara a peck on the cheek. It caused the older girl to blush. The two of them didn't notice the tear in the fabric of reality, or the fact that Gaster stepped through.
"Yes, I must say that was a beautiful and tragic story." The skeleton said. Frisk jumped, looking wide eyed at Gaster. You could see the fear in her eyes as she stared. "Don't be afraid. I'm a friend of Chara's."
Chara nodded to Frisk who had looked over at her. "He is a friend you can trust him Frisk." Frisk nodded, smiling brightly at Gaster.
"Hello Mister." She said. Gaster chuckled.
"Please call me Gaster Frisk." He says. Frisk nods.
"So, Gaster, could you look at Frisk's wrist, and see what you can do to heal it?" Chara questioned. The tall skeleton nodded, and kneeled on the floor so that he could get a closer look at the broken wrist.
He examines it closely sighing, as he reaches into his back pocket. He brings a container out and it is filled with a ointment that smells really disgusting. "This might hurt a bit Frisk, but this ointment can heal broken bones in a matter of days." Applying it gently Frisk whimpered, but calmed down as Chara enveloped her in a hug. Soon, Gaster was done, and he put the ointment back. He then patted Frisk on top of her head standing up. "There you go." He says.
Frisk looked outside, wanting to go play, but she was afraid that Chara wouldn't like her for it. "You can go out to play Frisk, I don't mind. I have to talk to Gaster about something." She told her.
Frisk smiled brightly, before taking off. At the last second she smiles at brightly at Chara and Gaster. "Thank you grandfather Gaster." She says before taking off outside. Gaster chuckles shaking his head.
"She is something, I can see why you feel in love with her." He says, causing a red blush to cross Chara's pale face. She coughs clearing her throat.
"Yes, anyways is it possible this time around?" Gaster nods, serious look coming on his face.
"Yes, I believe so."
"But it is not a guarantee." Chara said, voice in a matter of fact tone.
"Yes, that's right. PLAYER will more than likely interfere. But that won't happen until Frisk enters the Underground." Chara nods. She looks out the window, watching as Frisk plays happily and carefree.
"Well let's just hope that this will work." She says. "I want everybody to break free of PLAYER."
"So do I Chara, so do I."
