Chara ran. She had no idea where she was, or where she was going. She didn't care. She was just running. And as she ran, she looked at the people around her. Everything she saw... bad... evil...

Chara saw a teenage boy and girl running from a store that had alarms blaring from inside.

She saw a figure in a hoodie mugging an old woman and stealing her purse.

She saw a man telling his wife he was texting a work colleague, when he was sending dick pics to another girl.

She saw two people trading money for a bag of white powder.

She saw a women about to push a man off a balcony.

Everywhere, everything Chara saw was bad. Bad. Bad things. Bad things. Bad people doing bad things.

No! Not bad people! She couldn't start thinking like that! Yes, they did bad things, but that didn't mean they were fully evil. We've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is what we choose to act on. That's who we really are.

Doesn't it seem funny, though, that a majority of them act upon the dark? It's because they're disgusting.

No... you're wrong... There's good! There is!

Really? Name someone truly good.

Uh... T-Toriel!

She killed Frisk a couple of times. Not to mention she tried to trap children with her, wanting them to love her against their will.

Then... Papyrus! He's an innocent cinnamon roll! And he never tried to kill Frisk.

He's a narcissist, and though he didn't try to kill her, he did try to capture her.

Then... then...

Chara attempted to come up with a person who was good and kind-hearted in every way, but...she was stumped. Everyone she knew had a selfish side.

See? You can't think of a single person. So, now, you know just what to do. RESET. You'll need enough determination, but luckily you've got a pair of twins who have a bunch of it! You just have to use one as a vessel, and kill the other and take their soul.

'N-no... I won't... I won't ever!' Chara sobbed, willing the voice to leave her head. 'I... I need... him.'

Chara stood and ran as fast as she could.

Remus was lead on his side on his bed. He had been for a while now. The other three Marauders had tried to talk to him, but he hadn't responded, unmoving. They decided to leave him alone, hoping he'd feel better later. If not, they decided they'd have to go to McGonagall and out the DADA teacher for his sick acts.

Remus stared at the wall, not able to forget the pain from when the curse was inflicted on him. The events of earlier that day kept playing over and over in his mind. It felt like what had happened had corrupted his mind, because... all he could feel was a desire to slaughter Merwin.

He was pulled from his thoughts at the sound of sobbing. He turned to see Chara stood there, crying ghost tears. Before he could say a thing, she sat on the bed and rested her head on his shoulder, sobbing into it.

'Chara? What's going on? What's the matter?'

'Th-the voices... they won't stop...' she replied between breaths. 'Please... get them to stop!'

'I...' Remus didn't know how to respond. She'd never mentioned voices before. What was he supposed to do?! 'Um... well, what are these voices telling you? ...Chara?'

When she didn't respond, he turned to her and saw she'd fallen asleep, leaning on him. Remus sighed.

He didn't know what was going on, but he desperately wanted to help.

Chara's eyes flickered open. She was led on Remus' bed, him having left. She sat up, noticing a note on the bedside table. She picked up the note, and unfolded it.

Sorry, Chara. I had to head to Astronomy. It'll be pretty late when I'm back. I really am sorry. I left you a chocolate bar, if that's any consolation. See you later.

-Remus

Chara picked up the chocolate bar and started eating it as she ran from the dorm. She didn't want to be alone with her thoughts. She ran through the school. After two minutes of running, she realised she had no idea where the astronomy tower was.

'Shit... I guess I'm fuck- '

Chara was unable to finish by the sound of footsteps and heavy breathing. Someone ran around the corner.

'Remus!'

He stopped running, hearing someone calling his name. Chara noticed, as he turned to her, that he had a black eye and bloody lip. Before Chara could ask what happened, a spell hit Remus in the back, knocking him to the ground.

'Aw, he thinks he can run away!' Mulciber laughed, walking up to the boy attempting to get to his feet.

'Don't let him get up!' Avery called. Mulciber complied, placing his foot on side of Remus' head, pushing him back to the ground. 'Oh, look at him! He's crying! Just like in the DADA lesson!'

'Please... please stop!' Remus begged.

'What was that? You want me to press harder? If you insist,' Mulciber grinned madly, pressing his foot down with even more force.

'AGH! P-please! Stop!' Remus sobbed, wincing in pain.

'Even harder? Oka- '

As Mulciber pressed his foot harder, it slipped.

It slipped onto Remus' neck.

SNAP!

'NOOO-'

Remus' hands went up to his neck, breathing heavily.

He was alive, stood next to the SAVE point at the top of the astronomy tower.

'Remus? Are you okay?' Mary MacDonald asked, from where she was stood next to Remus.

'U-um... yeah, I just... memories of DADA,' Remus lied.

'You really need to tell McGonagall or Dumbledore about that. Merwin can't do things like that!' Mary insisted. Remus just nodded as the two of them made their way down the staircase.

As they reached the bottom, Remus saw, at the end of the corridor, Mulciber and Avery. He quickly ran off before the bullies noticed him.

'Remus? Remus!' Mary called after him and he sprinted down the corridor. He didn't reply, turning the corner. He came to a specific portrait and pushed it aside, disrupting the person inside it, before entering the secret passage. He closed the portrait, and made his way back to the dorm.

'So, "Professor", how have your first two days of teaching been?' Frisk asked Sans.

The two were sat on bar stools ay Grillby's, eating burgers.

'pretty good, kiddo,' Sans smiled, taking a swig of ketchup. 'students are well behaved. only had one lesson with him, but remus seems good. he and his friends really got into the lesson.'

'Good to hear.' Frisk sighed. 'I still can't get over the fact you all know he's a wizard now.'

'yeah,' Sans sighed as well. 'kid, there's something I think you need to know. it's about chara. she's- '

'Yeah, I know,' Frisk replied. 'She's been watching Remus, following him. Basically stalking him. She told me about it. Apparently, she thinks he more "interesting" than I am. Kinda surprising, given he can't even talk to her, let alone see her.'

'that's the thing. chara is- '

And that's when Sans found himself stood in his office at Hogwarts.

'what the...? wait... was that what i think it was? if so, then someone has control of the timeline! it can't be frisk. she definitely didn't die, and she lost control of the timeline ages ago. but then, who does?'

He paused, thinking.

'actually, it doesn't matter. whoever it is, they aren't resetting, and that's all i have to worry about.'

And with that, Sans teleported to just outside Grillby's. As he arrived, he saw Frisk running towards him.

'Sans, I just want to say, that was not me!'

'yeah, i know kid. i think someone else has control of the timeline now.'

'What, so it could be being controlled by anyone?' Frisk asked.

'well, not anyone. specifically, someone with a determination soul. the question is: who in the world has more determination than you?'

Chara found herself stood just outside the common room, tears pouring down her face.

'Th-those bastards! If Remus couldn't SAVE, he'd be dead because of them! They killed him! They're sick! Murderers! Like Asgore, Frisk, Flowey... They...they need to pay! They need to...

'They need to die. They and all the other disgusting people in this world.'
