She Who Needs No Alibi
Frisk climbs on to her dresser top and opens her window, "Sans'll believe me."
She jumps out the window and lands in the grass with a soft "Ooph." She stands quickly and runs towards Sans and Papyrus's house. She gets there and just as she's about to knock, she hears Sans's voice from inside, "I'm telling you, Pap, I saw her do it."
"That is silly!" Papyrus replies, "The Human would never kill me!"
Frisk's eyes widen, Is that why he..? He thinks I'd..? She steps away from the door, bringing her hands to her chest cupping them over one another. Tears fill her eyes and she turns, running down the street. She runs until she enters the forest. She slows to a walk, breathing heavily, tears coating her cheeks. She shakes her head, "I don't understand.. Why is everything so wrong?"
She wipes her face and sniffles. She looks around as she walks, she's never roamed in the forest, Toriel didn't want her in there alone. Frisk thought that order was pointless, she went through all of the Underground alone, hadn't she? As she walks, she sees The monster kid and Chara. She frowns lightly and hides behind a tree. She peeks around the tree, When had she left the house? I didn't see her on the road.. The monster kid shakes his head, "I swear, I don't know!"
Chara twirls a knife and Frisk's eyes widen, Where did she get that? Mom doesn't keep knives in the house. The look in Chara's eyes is empty, soulless. Frisk doesn't like the look in her eyes. Chara sighs lightly, "All you had to do was tell me what I wanted to know. If you don't have the answers I need, then you're no longer useful."
"W-wait!" he squeaks.
Frisk's eyes widen, What is she-? Chara stabs the monster kid before Frisk can even finish her thought. Frisk covers her mouth to keep from screaming as the monster kid instantly turns to dust. Chara shakes her knife, watching the dust fall. Frisk turns away from the scene, hiding behind the tree. Her eyes are extremely wide, and tears fall down her face. Her entire body trembles, Chara.. She just.. Murdered that monster.
She quickly runs from the forest, trying to get to Sans's house as quick as possible. She gets to the skeleton brothers' house and knocks frantically, sobbing, "Sans! Sans!"
Sans opens the door, a confused look on his face, "Kid?"
She throws herself at him, clutching his sweater. She sobs against his torso, "He's dead! Oh, my god, he's dead!"
Sans frowns, "Who's dead? What happened, Frisk?"
He leads her inside and closes the door. They sit on the couch and she's still clinging to him. Papyrus comes into the living room, "What's going on?"
Sans looks at Frisk for the answer and she continues to sob, "Chara killed him!"
"Wait, who did she kill?" Sans's eyes widen.
"The monster kid in the striped shirt." she replies, soaking his sweater.
He holds her, still frowning, "What did you see?"
She explains to him what she saw in the forest, and why she was in the forest in the first place. She even told him what she heard him and Papyrus talking about. Sans's sighs, "Kid.."
She moves away from him, wiping her face with her sweater sleeve, "Sans, I'm scared. Chara.. She killed that boy.. And Toriel, Asriel, and I have to live with her.. She was.. Looking for something.. I couldn't even move to stop her.. I should have stopped her.."
She sobs again, covering her face with her hands. Sans and Papyrus look at one another, then back at Frisk. Sans stares at her, uncertain of what to do, Chara definitely needs to be dealt with. Toriel has to know about the danger she's in. But Chara came from Frisk, what will happen to her if Chara gets hurt? Sans stands, "Come on, kid. We have to tell Toriel."
"She won't believe me." Frisk wipes her face again.
"She has to know, we can't just keep this a secret." Sans replies, "What if Chara hurt Toriel?"
Frisk winces, "What am I supposed to do? Mom raised Chara.."
"And she's raising you. She'll believe you if I'm backing you up. Come on, we have to get to your place before Chara does."
They appear in Toriel's living room and she looks up at them in surprise, "Oh, hello. What did I say about using the doorbell, Sans?"
She frowns, "Frisk?"
Frisk looks down, "Mom, I.. Chara's not safe.."
Toriel's expression becomes confused, "What do you mean, my child?"
"Yeah, what do you mean, Frisk?"
Frisk turns and her eyes widen. Chara's standing in the kitchen doorway with Asriel. Chara's eyes are narrowed and her arms are crossed. She seems relaxed, but her eyes still have that emptiness to them.
Frisk swallows, "I know what.. You did in the woods. I saw you kill him."
"Kill? Who did she kill?" Toriel stands, looking between her children.
Chara isn't fazed. She sighs, "Frisk, stop making up stories about me just so Mom will pay attention to you. This is getting annoying. Even Asriel noticed, didn't you, Asriel?"
She looks at Asriel and he nods quickly, "Chara's right."
Frisk's eyes widen, "Seriously? You're the one who's lying! Mom, you have to believe me! I wouldn't make this up!"
"She's telling the truth." Sans says.
Chara turns her cold gaze on him, "Did you see me kill anyone? Didn't think so. Frisk's just looking for attention. She doesn't like having siblings. She doesn't want to share our Mom."
Toriel frowns, "If Chara.. Killed someone.. Where is the proof?"
"Chara had a knife!" Frisk blurts.
Chara spreads her arms, "Check me, I don't have any knife. I sleep with Mom and Asriel, they'd know if I had weapons."
"Besides, she couldn't have killed someone," Asriel states, "She was with me the entire afternoon."
Frisk shakes her head, "You can't be serious.."
