A/N: If anyone could voice Chara in this fic, I'd choose StardotDubs.

I met Frisk in the Underground. He fell down Mount Ebott and landed on top of yellow buttercups. My grave. His determination awoke me from death. From there we went on to free monsterkind. We broke the barrier. We freed everyone. Some of the monsters used half of Frisk's SOUL to bring me back.

Then something in the timeline malfunctioned.

All the monsters we met on our journey forgot. How I know, I don't know. I don't recall a single name of any monster. Neither do they. I met Frisk again at a friend's party. We talked and we came to the topic of the timelines. Apparently, the malfunction erased our ability to reset, but we still had our memories. We wanted to bring their memories back, but we didn't have a clue where the monsters were. We decided to live out our lives together.

"Welcome to Silent Hill! Silent Hill, a quiet little lakeside resort town. We're happy to have you. Take some time out of your busy schedules and enjoy a nice restful vacation here. Row after row of quaint old houses, a gorgeous mountain landscape, and a lake which shows different sides of its beauty with the passing of the day, from sunrise, to late afternoons, and sunset. Silent Hill will move you and fill you with a feeling of deep peace. I hope your time here will be pleasant and your memories will last forever!"

That was what the brochure said what made me and Frisk to go here. We had a great time together, and I felt our relationship grow into something big. Then something happened. Frisk fell ill with a disease. Our love story ended, and I was left to brood in the cold world.

"I'm here."

I stared at the brick sign that spelled the words "Rosewater Park".

'So this is that park...Frisk...Are you here?'

I walked into the park, no monsters to heed my small walk. I hoped to see Frisk there. I walked down a few steps before I reached a boardwalk. On my right was Toluca Lake. I could still remember when we both were there, staring at the water. As I walked more, I began to see something in the mist. A person. My eyes watered as I ran to the person.

"Frisk?"

He turned around and smiled at me.

"No...you're not." I plunged into despair again as I came to the realization that this was indeed not Frisk.

"Do I look like your boyfriend?" The man asked.

"No...my late husband." I replied. I looked at him, he wore a black jacket, and ripped jeans. "I can't believe it. You could be his twin. Your face, your voice...just your hair and clothes are different."

"My name...is Francis. I don't look like a ghost. Do I? See? Feel how warm I am." He placed his hand on my cheek, and I swatted it away.

"You're really not Frisk!"

"I told you...I'm Francis."

"Sorry, I was confused." I said as I turned around and walked back the way I came from.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm looking for Frisk. Have you seen him?"

"Didn't you say he died?"

"Oh yeah...three years ago. But I got a letter from him. He said he was waiting in our 'special place'."

"And that's here? Anyway, I haven't seen him. Is this your only 'special place'?"

"Well, there's the hotel, too, I guess. The one on the lake...I wonder if it's still there."

"The Lakeview Hotel? Yeah, it's still there. So, the hotel was your 'special place', huh? I'll bet it was."

I continued my walk until Francis grabbed my arm.

"Don't get so mad. I was just joking. Anyway, it's not that way. It's this way." He pointed at the opposite direction I was going, so I walked in the way he was pointing. Francis was following me.

"You're coming with me?" I asked.

"You were gonna just leave me here?" He replied. I was reminded of Frisk's pacifism.

"No, but..."

"With all these monsters around?"

"No, I just..."

"I'm all alone here. Everyone else is gone...I look like Frisk, don't I? You loved him, right? Or maybe you hated him..."

"Don't be ridiculous." He followed after me.

"So it's okay?"

"Yeah, fine." I sighed.

We walked through the fog ridden streets of Silent Hill, the monsters seemingly coming in more groups as we navigated. Francis' company was, to say the least, very annoying. In those minutes, I started to think he was more of a burden then a help. He refused to fight, even if a girl fought in his place. He would snap at me if he got hurt by a monster I would find on the streets, infuriating me. I needed to find more ammo, and possibly something new to protect myself instead. It wasn't until we got to Texxon Gas that I laid my eyes on my new weapon. There was a car parked in the gas station, with a pipe stabbed through the front window. With a mighty pull, the pipe loosened and I almost fell on the floor.

If a wooden plank could kill one of the monsters, then a pipe would do the work faster. We walked to a building called "Pete's Bowl-O-Rama". As I opened the front door, Francis broke the silence.

"I'll wait here. I hate bowling."

"I didn't come here to play, you know."

"Hurry back, okay?"

I entered the building. I opened another door to a storage room. I heard voices, two. They were familiar. I saw the two people, Eddie and the boy I encountered when I left Blue Creeks Apartment. They didn't notice me, so I eavesdropped on their conversation.

"So what'd you do? Robbery, murder?" The boy asked.

"No, nothing like that." Eddie replied.

"Hah! You're just a gutless fatso!"

"What did you have to say that for?"

"I thought you said the cops were after you."

"No, I just ran 'cause I was scared. I don't know what the cops are doing."

"But if you did something bad, why don't you just say you were sorry? Well...I guess I run away a lot too."

"It's no good. They wouldn't listen. Nobody will ever forgive me."

New confusion hit me. What did Eddie do? As I was thinking, the talk kept going.

"Did you find the man you're looking for. What's his name...Frisk?"

I walked into the room where the boy and Eddie were talking. Eddie looked at me as I approached him. He was eating a pizza. The boy wasn't anywhere near the table. I looked around.

"Eddie?"

"Oh...umm, you're..."

"Chara. We met in the apartment building."

"Yeah, I remember, but..."

"Are you alone here, Eddie?"

"Uh, no..."

A green bowling ball rolled over to Eddie. My eyes turned to the direction it was coming from. There was the boy standing near the door.

"Bye-bye!" He shouted as he ran out the door.

"Wait! Come back! Eddie! Let's go after him!"

"Huh? Asriel? But why...?"

"Asriel? Is that his name?"

"That's what he said."

"This town is full of monsters! How can you sit there and eat pizza!?"

"He said he was fine by himself. He said a fatso like me would just slow him down."

"Forget you." I ran out the door to meet a panting Francis.

"Did a little boy run out of here?"

"Yeah, he was too fast for me. Aren't you gonna go after him?"

We ran down a path to another brick wall. The gap between the buildings was enough for a small child to fit through.

"He probably got through here and ran on to Carroll Street."

"Is there another way?"

"Yeah, this way."

Francis led me to a backdoor of a building. I grabbed the handle and tried to unlock it. Damn, the door was locked. I tried my best to pry the door open, but it didn't work.

"No use, it's locked."

"Move aside."

Francis took a key from his jeans pockets and unlocked the door. He opened it.

"Ladies first."

"How did you do that?"

"I'm a master thief."

"Oh. Let's go."

We made our way through the night club quickly, grabbed some stuff, and came out through the front door. I caught a glance of Asriel going through a door to a hospital. Brookhaven Hospital to be precise.

"There he is!" I pointed at the building. Francis nodded and we entered the building.

'I have to go after Asriel. I can't just leave her all alone. Also...maybe he'll be able to tell me something about Frisk.' I thought.
