Alright here is chapter 9, this one is going to be completely devoted to explaining Chara in my eyes, I think she hates humanity because of some form of abuse, and learned to love the monsters like family, so they're no means psychotic or axe crazy, the only reason she is like that is...well just sit back and watch.
I own nothing except my ideas.
Ash and Frisk arrived in a room with a piece of cheese in some form of gem, Ash yawned.
"Are you tired Ash"? Frisk asks.
"Yeah, should have rested back at Snowdin huh"? Ash responded with a chuckle.
"Why...don't we rest here"? Frisk offered.
"But...what about Undyne"? Ash asked in concern.
"I don't think she knows we're here...I hope...how about I stay awake for a couple of minutes before going to sleep too"? Frisk suggested.
"Yeah...that sounds good". Ash said before getting comfortable against the wall and closed his eyes, starting to drift off to sleep quickly.
"Sweet Dreams Ash". Frisk wished.
"Thanks". Ash mumbled before finally going to sleep.
"So, looks like we're alone now". Chara said, standing in the voidless pit that is Ash's dreams.
"Chara"? Ash asked.
"Yes...it seems I can communicate with you in your dreams". Chara explained.
"Oh...hey Chara...do you mind if I ask you something"? Ash began.
"What"? Chara wondered.
"What is your opinion on the Monsters"? Ash asked.
"..." Chara sighed and sat down. "They were the family I never had, the Dreemurr's, they cared for me like Family, like I was one of their own...and Asriel". Chara actually started to tear up. "I...It's my fault he's dead...he didn't deserve it at all". She sniffled.
Ash slowly walked forward and went to hug Chara, only to get smacked back in response.
"Don't touch me"! Chara snapped angrily.
"Sorry! Sorry". Ash said, sitting down.
Chara sighed. "I bet you think I'm some sort of...psycho, killing myself for the Monsters...wanting them to be free at my own life". Chara muttered.
"Actually...no". Ash responded.
"What"?! Chara said in shock.
"Sure...your plan had a couple of holes in them, but you meant well till the end...I'm sure...despite the heartbreak, Asriel ever blamed you". Ash said with a smile.
"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE HE IS"! Chara roared at Ash. "He turned to dust and I couldn't even find him"! She growled at him.
Ash flinched. "Sorry! I...I didn't know". Ash muttered.
Chara's expression softened a bit. "Right...sorry". She muttered in return.
"No...I'm sorry, I got mouthy on something I didn't even know". Ash apologized.
"Thanks". Chara thanked softly.
The two sat in silence before Ash looked at Chara. "Could...you tell me about your time with the Dreemurr's"? Ash asked.
"Why"? Chara asked, a bit suspicious.
"Curiosity, plus I don't want to make that mistake again". Ash said with a smile.
"...Sure". Chara said before adjusting herself, sitting side by side with Ash.
"So...". Ash began.
"I'm thinking"! Chara said with a small blush, pulling attention to the two rosy cheeks she had.
"Okay"! Ash said in a panicked tone, going into thought as Chara wracked her mind, before glancing at her and taking in the subtle differences between her and Frisk.
Chara looked a bit older than Frisk, maybe she's the same age as him? Ash could see where she got the eye color from...despite being apparently adopted, the hair was a prime difference despite it being not TOO much of a difference. He smirked, Chara apparently had a bit of tomboy in her, if the shorts and a couple of scrapes on her knees were any indication.
"Alright...I got one". Chara said with a sigh. "It was when Asriel and I decided to make a pie for Dad, we accidentally mistook butter for buttercups". She began, noticing Ash's confused expression and rolled her eyes. "Extremely poisonous plants". She said with a guilty look in her eye. "We accidentally poisoned Dad, thankfully cooking dried them out and lessened the effect, letting him live...I tried to laugh it off since he wasn't mad, but I think that made me look like I didn't care". She said while hugging her knees.
Ash frowned and had to restrain himself from patting her on the back, knowing she doesn't appreciate human contact.
"That was when I figured out that I could use those buttercups to...to...". Chara choked up a bit. "You know...it was a horrible slow death...it hurt so much". Chara shivered. "Asriel...I put him through so much...luckily he pulled through...till the end though, the humans thought he had killed me, and attacked him, I tried to fight back on our behalf...but Asriel wouldn't allow it...he couldn't go through with it...they hurt him...and he died". Chara said, starting to tear up a bit.
"I'm...sorry". Ash said, not sure what to say.
"After that...I woke up and saw you and Frisk, and followed you two". She said, causing Ash to bring up something.
"What about the whole 'where are the knives' thing? And that speech when we first met"? Ash asked.
"That was...a facade, I tried to hide myself behind my anger...sorry". Chara apologized.
Ash nodded, the two sat in a silence before Ash started to hum a tune before he sung softly. "I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was~ To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause~".
Chara started to drift off when Ash started singing, despite not knowing the meaning behind the words, she could feel he put a lot into them. She yawned, and not realizing it, rested her head on Ash's shoulder as she went to sleep.
Ash stopped and looked at Chara, smiling, knowing she's starting to open up. "I promise Chara...I'll make you open up...then maybe I can help you". Ash said, before continuing his singing.
To be continued.
Shorter than the others, I know. But its intent wasn't to be long. Next chapter I PROMISE, is going to be Temmie Village and the Undyne fight, problem is...Waterfall takes a LONG TIME! So, be ready for anime references and so much more! R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
Also, FYI, I know my opinion of Chara is not majorly shared by the Fandom, but its my own opinion, so if you oppose my opinion, then fine, but please don't throw a fit over it, we all have our own opinions.
