Chara nervously watched all of her friends summon their magic. Chara wished she knew how to attack with her magic. Chara had found that she didn't have the ability when she had turned her soul yellow so she could try to self-harm with magic. That had failed. That was also the night of the Snow and Home run, so maybe she had the ability. Chara focused all of her mind and energy on Bane.

Chara stopped trying to summon a magic knife when she saw him put something over his head. She heard a familiar and very faint jingle of chains. Shiny gold light appeared in Chara's vision. Chara watched as Bane put on her Locket.

Chara's very own heart Locket she had gotten so long ago.


Chara was sobbing. She had just tried to kill herself again with the gardening tools. She ran into her and Asriel's room. It was her second month down in the Underground. Asgore seemed sad about Chara's suicide attempt, Asriel seemed scared, and Toriel seemed disappointed in Chara. Chara climbed into her bed and shoved her head under the covers and sobbed. She loved her family a lot. Chara would do anything for them. She just hated herself.

No. That was pretty much a lie. Chara hated what she had done on the surface. She hated what as done to her on the surface. Chara sobbed as she remembered those horrible times. She missed her friends, though. Especially Frisk. Chara really liked Frisk. Chara thought that she might maybe have a little small crush maybe on Frisk. Chara blushed whenever she thought of Frisk. Chara heard the door creak open.

"G- go away!" Chara yelled. She curled up into a ball under the covers.

"No, Chara! I care about you, I won't let you try to do that m- mean thing to yourself!" Asriel yelled back. Chara heard the jingling of chains. "In fact, Chara, I brought something for you to show that I care about you."

Chara pulled her head out of the covers. Asriel looked at her red face, brown eyes, and tears running down her pink cheeks. Chara looked at Asriel. He was holding something behind his back. Chara sat up and tried to stop crying. She didn't want to cry on whatever Asriel was getting for her. "What d- did you get me, Asri-" Chara said. She let out a sob before she could say Asriel. Asri, huh? That's a nice nickname.

"What did you call me, sis?" Asriel asked.

"I tried to call you Asriel, but I cried before I could finish your name. Sorry that I'm so sad. I called you Asri. I'm sorry if that's a mean name. Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt my feelings. Here, I'll leave so I don't hurt your feelings more," Chara said. She started to sob. Asriel came over and hugged Chara.

"No, Chara! I like that nickname, it's cool. But, I got you a little something. It took me a long time to find the stuff and put it together. It took a lot of my magic and I hope you like it," Asriel said. Asriel put his hands out.

In the Boss Monster's white, fluffy hands, there was a chain necklace. Chara quickly memorized the beautiful sound of the chains jingling. Upon the new silver chains, there was a heart shaped item. On the heart, there was a little latch on the right side and a hinge on the left. A golden Deltarune was on the top of the heart-shaped trinket. Some light sheened off the awesome creation. Chara reached for the beautiful object.

"Here, Chara. This is your Heart Locket. My magic made it so that when you rub your fingers on the back of it, you'll get happier. It'll only make you a little happier, though. There's a special something inside of it for you," Asriel said, putting the necklace within Chara's hands.

Chara turned her new, amazing Heart Locket around and slipped the chain over her head and onto her neck and shoulders. Chara felt the heart rest on her chest. Chara reached for the Locket and rubbed her thumb on the back and her index and middle fingers on the front. This soon became a habit for Chara. She smiled as it really did make Chara happier. Chara undid the little latch and opened the Heart Locket. It was a locket, after all.

Chara saw a brown, gray, white, and black photograph of Asriel and herself each holding up a bundle of golden flowers. Chara smiled as she looked to the other side of the Locket and saw Asriel's messy handwriting in three very important words that really helped Chara start to feel happy again.

Best Friends Forever.

Chara hugged Asriel after closing his amazing gift. Chara's tears no longer were full of sadness but were full of joy instead. Chara spoke softly five words. "Thanks, Asri. I love you."

"I love you too, sister," Asriel said as he embraced Chara back. Tears ran down both of their faces as Chara finally began to grow happy again.


Chara reached upward towards her chest with her thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Sadness and depression crushed upon her like a tidal wave. Bane had stolen one of the few things that made Chara happy. Instantaneously, Chara plummeted her hand into her pocket and felt for the bag. She pulled it out and checked it. Both pieces of paper were still in there. Her picture and Asriel's writing. Chara had kept them in her pocket since her suicide attempt on the bridge. Chara had wanted to die with these things.

But she wouldn't. They would die in her Heart Locket when Chara was old, when Chara died of natural causes. Chara would not kill herself or try to kill herself. She made a promise she intended to keep until she died.

Chara gripped her knife and glared at Bane. He would die for stealing that from Chara. Chara would make him suffer and watch him gleefully as he breathed his final breath. Chara only intended to kill Bane. Then, she would live on. Chara began to cry as she prepared for the second part of her final battle against Bane.
