Chapter 10: A Vision from the Past
I feel a lot better once I finally leave the Tem Village. The music was awful and the temmies, to be honest, were kinda peculiar. Cats that acted like dogs? Also, what kind of music did they have down here? I really hope I never hear it again. I head back to the eastern path and start down the path once more. Thanks to lighting the crystal, the path is now brightly illuminated. I walk down the path until I reach a platform. Curious, I step on the platform. It slowly drifts away from the path across the water. Well, I guess I'm going wherever this takes me. The platform drifts me across the river until it eventually reaches the other side. I step off the platform and walk across the bridge.
I start down the new path on this side of the water. I suddenly tense. Something's wrong. "It's quiet, too quiet." Shwoop! A spear lands in front of my feet and I step back. I look up, it's the figure again. She starts chucking spears at me. I start running down the path, dodging spears as she throws them. I want to say something but it's better to just run. I barely avoid another spear and one grazes my shoulder. The cut is minor and bleeds very little. I keep running until I reach a dead end. I turn around. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. I'm trapped. I try doubling back but realize that there's nowhere I can go. I look down, I can't see where the ground is but if I could survive a fall from at least 9,000 feet, I'm betting this fall isn't half as far and probably just as survivable. I start walking back the way I came but suddenly I stop. The figure is back, she steps forward and she summons three spears. The spears slice across the road, cutting the bridge. The bridge shakes and snaps. The last thing I see is the figure as the bridge breaks, I fall backwards and everything fades to black...
I open my eyes. My head hurts and I can't see much. I look down but something's different. My red shirt with a green stripe is gone. This shirt is green and has a red stripe on it. I touch my face and gasp. Two large dimples? I didn't have any dimples or anything of any sort. So what's going on? Wait a second. Green shirt with red stripe, red eyes. Large dimples on the side of their face. There's only one person I can think of that looks like that. The female me. The girl who made my heart skip a beat. The girl who needs saving that doesn't want to be saved. Chara Dreemurr. But that still doesn't answer my questions. Why am I Chara and what's going on? I suddenly hear a voice I vaguely recognize. "Huh? It sounds like it came from over here?" The voice sounds like "Flowey?" A figure walks into view that I don't recognize. It looks like a young goat child. The only goat monster I've seen is Toriel. So who is this? They are wearing a green and white striped shirt. "Oh, you've fallen down, haven't you?" I try to speak but no words come out. "Here, let me help you up." I try to speak but the only words I can say are "My name is Chara." "Chara, huh? That's a nice name." "My name is-"
