***Okay, I'm gonna warn you guys: this chapter is what gives the story its name. The characters belong to Toby Fox, the story plot belongs to me, and without further ado, let's begin.
"...and seriously, can he not lower the prices? Did he think he was selling cars or something?" Undyne said as she walked into the house.
"We d-didn't have to g-go there," Alphys said. "Ah, I'm fine with it. I know you like it there, and I like to see you smile," Undyne said, smirking. She yawned then. "What do you say we call it a night?" she suggested.
Alphys nodded. "Y-yeah," she agreed. She, however, had other plans.
XxX
If there was one fact that was certain, then it was this: Undyne was a heavy sleeper. She was out in ten minutes, laying face-down on the bed. And quite frankly, she looked like she was dead.
Alphys finally put on her glasses and went to the bathroom. The cold sink water easily removed the make-up that blended rather well with her normal skin. Then, they were visible: several red marks that ran up and down her arms. Her self-harm scars.
She sighed before going to the kitchen and finding a knife. Bracing herself before doing so, she dragged the knife across her arms over and over. It burned worse than anything, and the sensation of blood leaking across her arms wasn't any better. She tried to force back her tears and all the voices that told her to stop.
"F-forget those voices. I've done h-horrible and ten l-lied about it to e-everyone. Th-they appear in my d-dreams-or rather, in my n-nightmares-and they g-get their revenge. I d-deserve this...just as I d-deserve death. I d-don't want them to h-haunt me any l-longer. I can't t-take it!" she cried out, completely forgetting that she was supposed to be doing this quietly.
She made a long slash running diagonally across her torso and accidentally cried out in pain. "I-idiot!" she hissed while rebelling tears trickled down her cheeks. She slit her tongue then. The coppery taste of blood quickly filled her mouth.
The rest was a blur; she started roughly cutting herself everywhere frantically until she finally collapsed. And the last thing she saw before blacking out was a blur or cerulean rushing towards her.
***Well...it was a bit longer. Anyways, be sure to leave a review on the way out and I'll see you in the next chapter!
