Stay With Me

by Fophelia1331

When Frisk enters the land of the monsters, the UNDERGROUND, it is up to her to decide the fate of monsters and humans. Will she pacify the land? Or tear apart the world at it's seems? It's not easy to stick to doing the right thing unless someone is there backing you up. Will Frisk take the hand of kindness? Or dance the path of the dark? (Fem Frisk)

Chapter Four: You're Blue Now

"Was that you singing last night dear?" The innkeeper asked when I was leaving in the morning. I had my whiteboard out and wrote 'yes'. "Okay dear. It was so lovely! Would you like to come by every few nights and perform to bring some customers in? I could pay you or give you a free room for the night," she said.

I pondered over it for a while, but Chara came up with an answer fast. 'No way! Tell her no! We have better things to do! We have to find Azzy and take over the timelines! Not waste time in some inn luring in strangers!' Chara screamed in my head. She hadn't decided to appear to me in person today yet.

"Okay, I will. I'll perform," I replied, making up my mind. 'Who is this Azzy? And why would I help you destroy the world?'

'I can't wait around forever. Soon I'll have to go to more desperate measures' she said, appearing in front of me. She smirked at me as my head started to ache slightly. She had undoubtedly caused it, somehow.

"Have a nice day!" The lady at the desk called out as I left, oblivious to what was going on with Chara. I had hoped Chara would disappear completely after her silence last night, but that clearly wasn't happening anytime soon.

I walked out of Snowdin town, but not before saving again. As I walked the snow falling started to obscure my sight. After walking a while I saw an outline of a figure not too far off. Once I got closer I immediately knew who it was since he started to speak to me;

"HUMAN! LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT SOME INTENSE FEELINGS TO YOU! THE JOY OF FINDING A ANOTHER PASTA LOVER, THE ADMIRATION OF ANOTHER'S PUZZLE SOLVING SKILLS OR HAVING A COOL PERSON THINK YOU ARE COOL TOO! THESE FEELINGS MUST BE WHAT YOU ARE FEELING NOW!" Papyrus said, in his same loud, excited voice he always uses.

'Never let anyone sneak up on you like that!' Chara said through gritted teeth.

"I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE LONELY. DON'T WORRY! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL BE YOUR… NO, THIS IS ALL WRONG! I CAN'T BE YOUR FRIEND! I HAVE TO CAPTURE YOU!"

'Serves him right,' Chara muttered. 'That sack of bones has to realize that in this world it's kill or be killed.'

Just after Chara said that my list of options appeared in front of me along with my SOUL and the sight-blocking snow disappeared. I looked through the ACT menu first, but it said that I could only flirt or insult, so wanting to do neither of those I hit the spare button right away.

"SO YOU WON'T FIGHT ME? WELL FACE MY FABLED BLUE ATTACK!" He said. He sent a bunch of bones flying towards me, but they were all blue. Blue attacks are harmless if you stay still. I froze but stayed on guard, waiting for him to try to trick me. After his blue attacks stopped coming, I relaxed, thinking that his first attack was over. But then to my surprise, my SOUL changed from its natural red color to a dark blue color and fell to the ground. While I was distracted, Chara screamed out my name and a bone hit my SOUL.

"YOU'RE BLUE NOW! THAT IS MY ATTACK!" I tested out what this blue SOUL did before I made my next move. It turns out that it moves the same, just lower down so I jump more often to dodge.

It wasn't that hard to dodge, and I just kept sparing. I knew I had made progress when he started telling me that soon he would use his 'special attack'. Honesty, the hardest part was Chara. She kept yelling out 'Kill him!' or 'Fight him!' or variations of either. At some point, she even tried to use more tricks to make me feel sick or give me a headache but stopped after it changed nothing major.

When he finally said he was using his special attack, a dog ran over with a bone, which was apparently his special attack. The dog ran away with his "special attack", so Papyrus had to use a "completely normal attack", which was actually pretty cool. At first it was like all the other attacks, but then bones making the words "Cool Dude" flew by, then came a bone on a skateboard, then a ton of bones packed together came toward me. Somehow after I jumped my SOUL continued to go up, until it went over a giant bone. After that there was just one, tiny bone that came by, it was suspicious, but nothing came of it.

"WELL *huff* IT'S CLEAR *huff* THAT YOU *huff* CAN'T *huff* DEFEAT ME," he said, out of breath after his attack. "I SEE YOU SHAKING IN YOUR BOOTS! I ELECT TO GRANT YOU MERCY, HUMAN!"

'I say you kill him now, while he isn't expecting it!" Chara offers her advice. 'But you never listen to me, do you?' She says, seeing me reach for the spare button. Once I hit it, my SOUL disappears along with all the buttons. Then Papyrus turned around, looking into the distance.

"I HAVE FAILED! I'LL NEVER GET TO JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD! AND MY FRIEND COUNT WILL REMAIN STAGNANT!" He said sadly.

I pulled out my whiteboard and marker and walked up to him. I would've tapped his shoulder, but since he was so tall I could only tap his back. Then I held the whiteboard so he could see as I wrote.

'We can be friends Papyrus.' And his reaction was so heartwarming.

"OKAY!" He hugged me, lifting me off the ground. "YAY! I HAVE AN INCREASING NUMBER OF FRIENDS!" He put me back down. "WHAT IS YOUR NAME HUMAN?"

'FRISK'

"WELL FRISK, FEEL FREE TO COME BY MY PLACE TO HANG OUT IF YOU WANT!" He responded, as cheerful as ever.

'I'd love to, but for now, I want to meet some more friends. By any chance do you know where to find,' I pause as Chara says, 'Are you sure about this?' Well, I can't hide anything from her I guess. 'Undyne's really tough, she'll fight you before you can get a word in.'

"WHO FRISK?"

'I have to find her at some point, otherwise, I'm sure she'll find me. I'll figure out how to come to terms with her,' I decided. 'Undyne?' I finished.

'Frisk! That's probably how Jesse died! She won't stop to read your little papers, she'd just chuck a bunch of spears and end everything!' Chara actually seemed worried about my safety. Like, genuinely worried. But I had made up my mind.

"YEAH! SHE LIVES IN WATERFALL! I'M SURE YOU TWO WOULD MAKE GREAT FRIENDS! MAKE SURE YOU COME BACK TO VISIT SOMETIME! OH, AND HERE'S MY PHONE NUMBER, IN CASE YOU EVER NEED HELP!" he said, handing me a paper with his phone number.

'Is he that much of a loser that he carries around a paper with his phone number?' Chara snickered at my side.

"WATERFALL IS THAT WAY," he said pointing to the east. "I'LL BE AT HOME BEING A GREAT FRIEND! NYEHEHEHEHEH! BYE!" Papyrus said, before running towards the west.

I started walking Chara started talking again. 'What a weirdo. Anyway, why Undyne? Why can't you go after, I dunno? Al- nevermind, she needs to be alive to be able to harm him. And you need to pass through WATERFALL to reach her.' I let Chara continue her ranting, not even bother to tell her again that I wouldn't kill anyone. 'You'd need a much high LV to take on Sans, but Papyrus or Toriel would be doable.'

I froze up. 'I could never ever hurt Toriel you sicko!' I mentally screamed at her. 'I'll never kill!'

'Sure,' Chara said, smirking before she disappeared from my sight.

Navigating WATERFALL was difficult, with all the echo flowers repeating stuff, maze-like paths and darkening hallways, but sometimes Chara would help me navigate. Chara was really confusing, one moment she was trying to get me to kill or hurt something or someone, but the next she was helping me out.

As I walked I snack on one of my cinnamon buns since I hadn't eaten all day. I got distracted when Papyrus came along I guess.

'You're seriously going through with this?' Chara asked, appearing in front of me again. 'This isn't gonna end well.'

I kept walking, Chara had to have known by now that I wasn't changing my mind. Chara walked backward and stayed in front of me. We were walking on some sort of boardwalk or some from the looks of it. 'I'd rather face her here, seeking her out, than her seeking me out and possibly fighting in front of Papyrus or someone,' I replied, trying not to let Chara anger me.

A large crack sounds out as a blue spear hits the board in front of me. I jerk to the side to see the figure in dark armor that threw the spear, standing on the land a few yards away from the boardwalk. Another spear materializes in their hands after a moment.

'Run! You messed with the bull, now you'll have to deal with the horns!' Chara screamed.

I started running away but had to dodge a bunch of spears too. 'Who's that? Why are they throwing spears at me?' I asked frantically, throwing myself out of the way of another well-aimed spear.

'The president!' Chara said sarcastically. 'It's Undyne of course!' I could tell that Chara was rolling her eyes, even though I couldn't see her face. 'Your SOUL will be the seventh if they can take it. She wants your SOUL to free the UNDERGROUND.'

I keep running a few spears grazed me, but none stopped me. Undyne had really precise aim, but it's not like I was sticking around to watch. Eventually, I made it into a patch of tall grasses. After moving to the middle, I stopped and tried to hide. Undyne followed, but ended up grabbing this Monster Kid, who I saw at Snowdin town. After waiting a minute to make sure Undyne wasn't waiting for me to give up my position, I stumbled out of the grasses. It was getting late, but I was too far to reach the inn in time, before I collapsed out of exhaustion at least.

I lied down next to the northern wall and rested my head on my backpack. Before I thought too much about it I started singing again;

"On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night.

There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
Such a lovely face.
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'

And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say"
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
Such a lovely face.
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, what a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'"

And another chapter is done! I realized while reading over the first chapter that I said the monsters left the underground, that was a mistake. All the monsters are still in the underground.

Okay, now that that's said, the song is called "Hotel California" by the Eagles.

Now, I have some big plans coming up that are going to set this story and the main Undertale story apart, so it is gonna change a lot! I also can't wait to do the upcoming parts, so stay tuned for the next chapter! I hope your day is excellent!
