Chapter VII - I'm Ready To Live, I'm Ready To Go
~~Rebecca~~
AN: Okay I think this is the last chapter I have mostly written, so now it'll probably take me a while to finish the next chapter since it's taken me a while and I'm not very far through it, so now it will probably take me way longer. But all reviews are welcome! They really motivate me to keep writing and seriously the only reason I'm even publishing today is reviews.
I bolted into Toriel's room, closed the door, and locked it. I let out a deep breath and sat down on the floor.
"Why?" I muttered. "Why is this happening? And why now?" I let out a deep sigh, "It was bound to start popping up sometime." I exposed my soul, a red heart split in two held together with only pure Determination.
(AN: I plan to upload a drawing of this later as the book cover since I really need one)
I sighed, then hid my soul again by letting it gently reabsorb back into my chest. I don't know how long, but I cried for a while.
The smell of pie eventually won me over. Once I made sure my shades hid my eyes and stopped anyone from seeing that I was crying, I walked out to find everyone nearly finished with their pie. Frisk gave me a suspicious look.
"My child, are you alright?" Toriel looked really concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just… tired."
"Maybe you all could use a bit of rest." I nodded and headed to the bedroom with everyone else following.
"Hey Rebecca, what was that thing with you and Frisk about?" Lucas asked. Before I could say anything, Frisk butted in. "I need to know what soul types the three of you have, so I can figure out what your strongest traits are!" By now, Amber looked completely lost.
"Frisk, you get not everyone else knows what you mean, right?" Chara said, likely prompted by Amber's look. Frisk took a deep breath and seemed to calm down a bit. "Besides, I haven't seen you that… excited in a while."
"Well, it's nice to see a chance for once. But the main point is that we need to find out what soul traits you all have." Frisk said.
At this point, I was really nervous. One step closer to finding out who I really am.
"How about we wait until we leave here? We don't want Toriel seeing a bunch of random hearts, do we?" Frisk let out a long sigh.
"Fine. I'll ask her how to leave." Amber, looking more puzzled than ever, had the most confused look on her face.
"Why do you mean, ask her? She most likely let you leave!"
"Just trust me."
"Okay… and what the heck do you mean, random hearts? None of this makes any sense!"
Frisk sighed. "Humans and Monsters both have a certain trait that represents them, and it shows through the color of their soul. For instance," She exposed her soul, "Red is Determination." She focused for a moment, then pointed to Amber, revealing a green heart floating in front of her. Then Lucas, revealing an orange heart. I was starting to panic even more. When Frisk pointed to me, I was somehow able to keep it. I don't… understand.
Frisk's suspicious look returned, but she just shook her head and sighed.
"Listen. Rebecca, if that even is your real name, I don't know what you're hiding, or why you're doing it, but we can't get out of the Underground if we don't work together."
I nodded, "I know, I know."
"Wait, are you… soulless?"
"What? No! It's like it refused!" I know very well why I didn't reveal my soul, no one's ready yet. Especially Chara… "Let's go ask Toriel about leaving," I said, trying to change the subject.
"Not until we find out why your soul won't reveal." Frisk insisted.
"Can't we do this later?"
"The sooner, the better."
"If we wait, maybe then someone else can help." Frisk thought for a moment, then sighed.
"Fine, we'll do it later." She sounded sick of my crap.
All of us walked up to Toriel and started talking to her.
"We were talking, and we think we should leave, so we can all go home?" Frisk asked.
"This is your home now, children." Said the weird goat lady trying to kidnap us Toriel.
"Well, we want to see our real home," Frisk said. Toriel's happy and welcoming expression disappeared and a grim look crossed her face. She stood up and put her book down on her chair.
"... Stay here, there is something I must do. Do not try to stop me."
"What're you gonna do?" I asked.
Toriel sighed and looked at me, "I am going to destroy the exit for the Ruins. Now, go to your room and don't try to stop me."
"W-wait. Just listen to me. There's four of us, I'm completely sure that we'd be fine."
"Six humans. Six humans have fallen before you. Six have left me. I tried to stop them, but I couldn't. They fall, they leave, they die. He… Asgore kills them. But not again."
"He won't kill us. We've looked out for each other for a long time, and we can get past him." Toriel stood in silence for a few moments, thinking. Finally, she cleared her throat and smiled.
"Well then, I… I think you four will be safe on your own." Chara looked up, surprised.
"Wow. I wasn't expecting that to work." Chara said, smirking, "Guess Mom just doesn't want anyone to get hurt."
"Thank you." I smiled at Toriel.
"But… am I able to aid you in your journey?" She asked. Frisk and Lucas looked surprised, Amber looked pretty happy, and both Chara and I smiled.
"In what way?" I asked. I was sure she wasn't gonna hurt us or something, but I wanted to be careful. I mean, it couldn't hurt to take a little caution, right? Well… it usually doesn't hurt.
That was a dark, dark day,
"I can provide you all with a bit more pie to help you out. If you'd like, that is." Frisk grinned and I nodded.
"That… That'd be great." I said with a smile.
"Okay, please wait a few moments." She rushed off into the kitchen and I heard her open a fridge and about a minute later she came down with the rest of the pie in a container. "Here. You said you liked it, so take it with you. And please, stay safe my child." I nodded and took the pie from her, smiling.
"Thank you. And…" I sighed. "The Barrier is going to be broken tonight. Monsterkind is getting out of here." She seemed surprised, which I figured would be the response I'd get.
"How?" She asked.
I just chuckled.
"You'll see."
AN: Woohoo another chapter out!
I seriously left the Undertale fandom a few months ago and still sometimes read fanfiction for it but very rarely but alright back to writing I sure hope I remember which game this is.
Anyways, review, favorite, follow, all that stuff, and I'll see you next time! Also the next time I publish will probably be a Steven Universe thing I'm sorry I have a problem.
