The human stood over the quaking flower as he begged them not to kill him. But they didn't listen to his plea. The...'human' scrapped the side of their knife against his face. Relishing the smell of fear that came from him. Plunging the knife into the small flower, they watched his face of fear and anguish twist into one of pain. Having shredded the poor thing, the 'human' plucked it out of the ground and started grinding the remains between it's fingers. Leaving it all alone, with nothing but darkness surrounding it.

Darkness...and more darkness enveloped you. Wrapping your arms around yourself, you felt your body quake. Walking through the nothingness, you soon found yourself in front a smiling human.

"Greetings. I am Chara."

Chara...?

"Thank you. Your power awakened me from death."

My...my power? I caused all this?

"My 'human soul'...My 'determination'...They were not mine, but YOURS."

No...I...I only wanted to help...I...didnt...want...

"At first, I was so confused. Our plan had failed, hadn't it?"

Plan...did they mean the plan they did with Asriel? To free the monsters?

"Why was I brought back to life?" The strange human placed their hands behind their back as they began to walk around you. "...You." They whispered behind you. "With your guidance. I realized the purpose of my reincarnation." They digged their nails into your shoulder. "Power. Together, we eradicated the enemy and became strong. HP. ATK. DEF. GOLD. EXP. LV. Every time a number increases, that feeling... That's me."

Chara!

Sensing your body flinch, they draped their arms around you. "Now. Now we have reached the absolute. There is nothing left for us here. Let us erase this pointless world, and move on to the next." You pushed them away, taking a few steps back. Clutching your chest, you stared right at the human.

'I...DO NOT!'

"No...? Hmmm..." they tapped their finger against their chin. "How curious. You must have misunderstood." Their smile widen as they rushed forward. Clutching your face with their hand, their eyes soon filled with darkness. "SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THE ONE IN CONTROL?" Their eyes leaked black like tears as their mouth stretched wide. Their darkness swallowed you whole, destroying what little remained of the underground.

Dark

Raspy wind

Devoted of any light

Cold, numbing your body...

You found yourself floating through the abyss with only your sins to accompany you. In a timeless space, you soon lost track on how long you laid floating motionless. In the back of your mind, you knew, you knew you could have let yourself give up. If you did, you wouldn't be floating in this endless void. But your soul wouldn't let you. Somehow, you where still determined to fix it all.

"Interesting.You want to go back." Chara's voice filled your empty void. "You want to go back to the world you destroyed. It was you who pushed everything to its edge. It was you who led the world to its destruction." Tears slid down your cheeks. "But you cannot accept it. You think you are above consequences."

No...I know...I'm not. But, I still...I still want to make things right.

"Then what are you looking for?"

The voice left you once more. Leaving you to think of how you could have prevented all this. After some time, their voice returned.

"Perhaps. We can reach a compromise." You could feel their arms coiling around you. "You still have something I want." Slowly your soul emerged out of your body. The once tainted soul was once again glowing bright red. "Give it to me. And I will bring this world back." Holding your soul close to you, you whispered out a simple no.

"Then stay here for all eternity." Chara shoved you away from them before disappearing. Kneeling onto the ground, you continued to hold onto your soul. On what truly felt like an eternity, you never once moved from your spot. Protecting your soul within your grasp.

Time from time, you could almost hear the voices of your friends. But as your body grew stiff, their words soon grew strange.

My child, please you don't have to do this!Chara, I know you can be good please go back upstai- HUMAN...I NO LONGER BELIEVE IN YOU... SANS...SA...SAAANS...WHY...WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!

Your tears dripped onto your soul as your heard his anguished.

Human! What did you do to him! What did you do to Papyrus! You sick twisted freak! I'LL KILL YOU! M-mettaton!!! How...how could... I-I ...sh-should have killed you when I had the chance.Human child...no...Chara. Why did you turn out this way...Forgive me my people, I couldn't protect you. Chara! Stop! Stop! You don't have to keep doing this!

We are already dead! Don't you get it! There is no point in doing th-kid...you can go to hell!

Your sobs echoed around you as you rocked back and forth. Your voiceless thoughts soon mixed with those of your friends. Theirs which were filled with betrayal and yours only adding salt to your wounds.

I caused all this! It's all my fault! They may have been trapped, but they where alive!

If only I didn't escaped...if only I had gave in...if I hade let myself die ...if I never fell down and ruined whatever peace they had... then they would not be suffering now...

"You know, your friends don't need to suffer." The voice in the dark awakened you from your own abyss. "You could...save them. If you wish." Chara kneeled before you, stroking your head. "You could save yourself...from all of this." Chara lifted your chin to look into their red eyes. "You and I are so much alike." Parting your hair away from your face, they placed their hand gently to the side of your face. "I care for you...you know. I hate seeing you this way. Fighting against yourself from doing what you really want." Their face drew close, "the reason why you are still here. The reason why you still hang onto your life. Why you wish not to give up. You want to go back, you want to see them, you want to try and save them...right? Say the word, and I'll bring it all back."

"Yes..." Your mouth quivered as you rasp out your answer.

"Then it is agreed. You will give me your SOUL." Before you could rethink it over, you slowly stretched out your cramped arms. Giving them your soul. "Then, it is done." As soon as your soul floated into Chara's chest, you found yourself falling down into the underground.
