"Darling? Come on, it's show time!" I was at a corridor leading to what looked to be a castle, monsters surrounded me as I sat up.
"Come on punk, if you're going to free us, we need you to do it now."
"T-the souls are down here, f-follow me."
"My child, you will be ok, I promise."
"(Y/N), stay determined!"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE FREE!"
"hey, what'd i say, i'm rootin' for you kid"
I slowly got up from where I laid, hurting all over. I was surrounded by all of the monsters I had met, along with who looked to be the king. I looked around me for that golden flower, but he was nowhere to be found. I knew that he was the one to call everyone here, so why wasn't he here himself?
I was lead by the hand by Alphys to a room with six glass jars. Each contained a human soul. I knew I didn't have the power to absorb the souls myself, but I knew just the vessel I would use.
"H-Here are the souls... are you sure y-you know w-what to do?" Alphys said.
"Yeah, I just need some privacy... I might not get out of this alive. Wait, um, can you quickly scan my soul?"
"Um... Yeah, o-one minute." Alphys quickly pulled out her cell phone, and pulled me into a battle. I almost passed out from the energy it took to not hit the poor girl, but I knew it would be worth it. "You might want to hurry up..." she said.
I looked at the screen, and saw that the white heart was almost all the way torn apart from the shattered soul. I asked Alphys to kindly leave, and waited for Flowey to show. Luckily, it didn't take all that long.
"I knew you'd show." I said.
"Is there something you want from me or..."
"I only have a little bit of time left... So I'm gonna need to do this quickly."
"What is it? Why are we in the room with the human souls?"
I pointed to my chest. "My soul... It's almost gone, but it can still feel, just not as strong as it used too. I hope you can learn to live with it."
"What? No, I can't..."
"Here, I'm going to unscrew the souls for you, and once you take mine, absorb the others immediately."
"No, (Y/N), I..."
"This is a little scary for me, but I know you'll be better of with this soul then I will..."
"(Y/N)! You're not thinking straight!"
"If I do this... you have to make a promise to me."
"What? No we can't-"
"I... I need you to promise to just break the barrier, and then return the other souls. You can keep mine, but just return the others. They deserve to be free, and you deserve to have a life worth living."
"I... Why are you doing this?"
"I'm going to die soon anyways... Please, I just need you to keep this promise."
"...Ok."
"Ok, then on the count of three. Are you ready?"
"One." I said with a shaky voice.
"Two." I heard flowey whisper.
"Three." As we said this together, I took the soul that I was barely holding on to, and shoved it to combine with the soulless being I had come to know as a... 'friend?'. I was able to see as he absorbed the six other human souls, and then for a reason I'm not quite sure of, I got up, and ran. I had tears in my eyes, and everything seemed to be in slow motion. I saw a flash of white light, and my life just flashed before my eyes.
My brother and I playing as kids, my parents getting along, the horrible divorce, my brothers suicide, my abusive father, the bullies at school, and my mother that was locked up in the mental hospital. Everything started to make sense. No wonder my soul was fractured. No wonder I was so weak.
I saw me running away from home, in the pouring rain, getting my one last view of the over world, before I fell into what I believed to be death. All of the feelings that I was blessed to feel one last time before my final bow. At least I managed to free the monsters.
My one last worry was that I would get pulled back to reality. If I got reset back into the over world... If I was forced to relive everything. Here, as I'm running away for the last time, I am finally free from the pain. I can finally be free. The sweat embrace of death was finally upon me, and I had no more will to live on.
I collapsed in the corner of the kings garden. How I got there, I don't know. My white heart was about to break. It was unstable, about to shatter into pieces. I saw Alphys running to where my body fell, syringe in hand. As everything faded to black, the last thing that I saw and felt, was my heart breaking, and absorbing into the ground.
(If you want a 'happy' ending, stop here. But... If you are still filled with DETERMINATION, keep reading.)
