Chapter 21: A Strong Bond and a Weary Heart
Later in the next area…
"Hey, Kid over here!", Chara said waving and walking to Monster Kid.
"*Gasp* Chara!", Monster kid said happily.
"Whatcha doing here?"
"I was looking for Alphys, buut I was drawn to this", Monster kid said looking at the old statue.
"Oh the statue?"
"Nah uh", Monster Kid said then walked closer to the statue, "That", they said leaning close to it.
Chara walked up to the statue to see what Monster Kid was talking about, oh they were talking about the music box.
"Is there a chance you could pull it out?", Monster Kid asked looking at Chara.
"I'll see what I can do", Chara said shrugging.
Chara gives the box a gentle pull, then a regular pull, then tried to pull it out with all their might. But it didn't budge.
"Sorry Kid, it's rrreeaally stuck there", Chara said relaxing their hands.
"That's okay, I asked"
"Oh no it's fine"
"Well…I'm going to move on, hey want to walk with me?"
"Okay!", Chara said happily.
When you see Monster Kid and Chara together like that, it reminds you of Asriel. But they're Flowey yet again, you… wonder how they're doing. You know they can't feel compassion, but you still wonder…are they worried about you? Do they miss you? Are they sad? Are they…no, no they're never alone! Your Papyrus will ALWAYS keep them company, and Toriel and Asgore and…Alphys…..n-no…you have to…stay strong. This is…no time to cry, you wipe the little tears from your eyes. When you came back to your sense, Chara and Monster Kid were…gone…..you should go and catch up with them. *Gasp*…What…what is this feeling? It-it feels like some is behind you…you're scared, but you slowly looked behind you…nothing was there. *SIGH* that was…close, you were really scared for a moment. It felt like…deja vu. The moment and place was different, but the feeling and atmosphere was the same. What… was that? You looked up and saw Chara and Monster Kid walking back with an umbrella.
"So what were you going to do?", Monster Kid asked.
"Hang on…just…need to put it…in, HERE!", Chara said finally able to put the umbrella up.
And just like that, the music box begin to play as the rain drop fall over the umbrella. It's playing the same song from your world. It makes you smile. Some things never change you guess.
"Wow, that melody is pretty", Monster Kid said with a smile.
"Mmmhm", Chara said with a smile.
They looked at the statue for a little while and hummed to the melody, they're having fun. It makes you happy…and sad. They both get up and walked side by side into the rainy part of Waterfall, you follow in silence.
"You think it's okay to take another umbrella?", Monster Kid asked concerned.
"Of course, and besides, the other one was like a gift for the statue", Chara said taking out another umbrella then looking at Monster Kid.
"Oooh yea I understand, it really needed one", Monster Kid agreed with a smile, "You're smart Chara", they complimented.
Chara turned away and blushed with a shy smile on their face and a giggle, cuuute. The two of them proceed on again side by side, this time under the umbrella. No need being under there, you can't even get wet. Monster Kid kept talking about how cool Alphas was, while Chara smiled and nodded holding back the fact they were her enemy. This sure does bring back memories…-! There's that…feeling, you looked behind hide you again. There's still nothing, you…decide to walk beside Chara…to feel a little safety. Chara looks at you and gives a questionable look, you smile hiding your fear. Suddenly Chara and Monster Kid stop in place and looked up, they're in front of the small cliff. You know, you wondered why you couldn't just climb up there because it's not that tall and there were rocks that could support you. When you took a look and found out why, these rocks are so soaked you could easily slip off and hurt yourself. And just like that, Monster Kid suggested on Chara to climb using their head. However, Chara wasn't okay with the idea seeing how they've already have enough bruises. Monster Kid insist saying they'll be okay, they had a confident look on their face that Chara couldn't say no to. So before they began climbing, Chara kindly wiped off the dirt from their shoes using the rain. How kind. They put the umbrella up then climbed up on Monster Kid trying their best not to hurt them, Chara made it to the top.
"Are you okay Kid?", Chara asked looking down.
"Yea I'm fine!", Monster Kid said with a happy smile on their face, "And don't worry about me, I ALWAYS find way! Catch ya later!", they said running off.
Oh no, not aga-! *Gasp* They stopped themselves from falling by using there foot!
"Chara did you see that?! I did it, I did it!", Monster Kid shouted happily jumping.
Aaww they're so happy. They fasted walked out of the place soon after, Chara watched with a big smile on their face before leaving. Oh sweet another save point for Chara for, aaand it's between more Monster history. This made Chara sad again, you understand. Nothing else to say there, *sigh*….wait…where are the two of you again?
"YIKE!", Chara shouted in frightened by-oh no.
"YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME WIMP!", Alphys shout from under the bridge.
"SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT!", Chara shouted running and dodging Alphys' upper cuts….Why did you say that?
Oooh nooo, they're at the edge! The both of you heard Alphys' heavy metal foot steps getting closer, and it sounds ANGRY!
"GOT YOU NOW WIMP!", Alphys shouted holding two spears in her hands, "RRRRAAAGGHH!", she shouted jumping and attacking from above.
"AAH! Huh?!", Chara shouted dodging the attack then noticed the bridge cracking, "No, no, nooo!", Chara shouted running off the breaking edge!
You ran with them because you don't want to know what happens if you fall with it! You managed to get off, but Chara *gasp*! As the bridge fell out, Chara jumped and caught the broke bridge! They're trying to pull themselves up, but Alphys-
"You're soul is ours now human, no where to run", Alphys said approaching Chara!
"CHARA LET GO!"
"WHAT?!"
"YOU HAVE TO LET GO NOW!"
"BUT I DON'T-"
"THERE'S NO TIME, DO IT!"
"…*let's go of the edge*"
"NNNOOO!", Alphy shouted as they watched Chara falling into the abyss.
You mustered up your bravery and held back your fear to jump down. Please, please let Chara be okay.
