"..." They both said nothing and did nothing for what seemed like an eternity.
"Go ahead…...just kill me and get it over with. I knew that a monster would kill me anyway. That's how I'll die….and I was right." Chara said.
"Like I said…...some. Your one of them." Orb said. He let go of Chara's fist. "Just drop this, let's go back home and forget this." He said.
"I can't forget it, not just this but what I've done. No one will understand me or even like me. I can't just go back to my old life, not after genocide." Chara said.
"...so?" Orb asked. Chara looked confused. "So what you committed genocide, you killed people, so what! I've killed a fuck ton of people. I know that you're not too far gone. I know that you can be good. You can be…..if you try a bit." Orb said. Chara said nothing.
"We can all live, we can all be happy. If we walk through this hall, everything, all of it, we forget it all." Orb said.
"...lier." Chara said. She swung her fist at him for a final time but stopped right in front of his face.
"...I..I can't do it." She said.
"How many humans have you killed?" Orb asked.
"What? Why does it matter anymore?" She said.
"How many humans have you killed?" He asked again in a more aggravated tone.
"I don't remember." Chara said.
"How many monsters have you killed?" He asks.
"...I don't remember either." She said.
"Why?" He asked.
"I don't remember how many I've killed….but I know why they're dead." She said.
"Alright, that's a good enough answer for me. Now can we all go home. I'm sure Toriel and Asgore would be very happy to see you." Orb said. He turns around and starts to walk forward but turns back.
"Still not commin'? Fine how about a deal." He says. He takes out his gun. He covers the barrel with his hand and pulls out a bullet. He puts his hands around his back.
"If guess which hand has the bullet is in then you come with us. And if you guess the empty hand…..then I'll kill you. Deal?" He asked. Chara stood there not moving.
"...fine…..I choose left." She said. He lifts his left hand and opens it. There's a copper plated bullet gleaming in the sun light through the windows.
"You choose….wisely." He said cracking a grin.
"Did you just really say that?" Frisk chimed in.
"Yep, now let's get home. Sun is gonna be setting soon and I heard that it might snow tonight. It's already cold so if you want my hoodie you can use it Chara or my scarf too if you want it." Orb said. He stuck something shiny in his right hand in his back pocket.
"Thanks but I'll be fine. Just be happy that I'm holding up my end of the deal!" Chara said.
"Fair enough but just ask if you need it." Orb said walking out of the corridor. The got out of the underground and we're meet with a view of the city with snow coming down from the sky.
"Wow it's so beautiful." Frisk said.
"Sure as hell not gonna argue with you on that Frisky." Orb said.
"I forgot how pretty the surface is during winter." Asriel said.
"Its okay I guess. Can we just get home!? We dont need to spend an hour just watching the city." Chara complained.
" Aww come on princess. Take a look, you'll like it. Hell you need to relax for a bit." Orb said.
"What did you just call me?" Chara asked.
"What? I just called princess. Nothin' much. Kinda like how I call Frisk Frisky." Orb said. Chara walked up to him.
"Never call me princess ever again." Chara demanded.
"Why it's a good nickname and it kinda suits you." Orb said. Charas face was getting red.
"Can it Bonehead!" Chara snapped.
"Aww is someone getting flustered?" Orb asked in a mocking voice.
"I'm gonna lose it! I really am!" Chara snapped.
"Heh okay that's fine." Orb said. His left eye glowed purple and he snapped his fingers. Chara's black and red soul appeared and turned blue. Chara was lifted in the air.
"So you can lose it all you want, you're not gonna be hurting anyone." Orb said. A few minutes of struggling later she gives up. Soon the four of them made their way home, not running into anyone this time. When Toriel saw Chara when they all walked in the doorway she had the same reaction she had with Asriel. A few days later everyone has gotten into routine but having Chara around has been strange for Orb at the least.
At night
"...you haven't been very um…."chatty" today I guess. Hmmmmm maybe I did something. Or your pissed at me for something I did. If its about Chara you know I had to do it…...she made me. You know that right.?" Orb said to himself. A few seconds went by when he heard something.
"Right." He heard the voice say.
