Well, well, well... look who's back. Me! This chapter is short, but not sweet. More of the dark stuff you all came here for. Enjoy!
I looked around. Where was I? As I sat up, I rubbed my head. It hurt a lot for some reason. I looked up. I seemed to be at the bottom of a hole, but when I tried to remember how I got here, my mind drew a blank. I attempted to figure out how I had ended up here. Maybe someone pushed me, or I tripped, or maybe… maybe I had…
I quickly shook my head, no need to go there. I shakily stood up and tried to remember something. Nothing, nothing… Then something popped into my head. My name was… Tris? I was… 15 years old and… nothing else. Something about weird symbols, but that was it, the place where memories were kept was cold and empty. Nothing was left.
I decided to forget (Heh good one, Tris) about my faulty memory for now, and explore. I took a few wobbly steps before my legs decided to work, walking away from the room-like cave with golden flowers, and into the next.
There was a patch of grass in the middle of the chamber. I walked past it, trying to not think about how it was possible for grass to grow here. I glanced back, noticing how the middle of the grass patch was a little roughened up as if something had been there…
I continued forward, passing through hallways, and solving puzzles. As I walked, my mind drifted off, and I started to question my situation. What is this place? How did I end up here? D-Did I- did I jump? And if I did, why?
My mind was still swirling with questions when I reached a considerably complex puzzle. It was a field of spikes. Although I was distracted, I was on high alert and noticed everything around. It came naturally to me, being paranoid. As I figured out the puzzle, I wondered why I kept looking around as if I was expecting something to happen. My situation was unfortunate. I didn't know myself anymore. I only knew a few scattered things, but nothing of who I am. My morals, what I did for fun, my friends… my family.
I hardly even noticed when I reached a house. I didn't even bother looking around, I just went down the stairs. I walked out the door, shivered at the sudden change in temperature, but kept going without hesitation. I scarcely even noticed my surroundings now. Before I knew it, I was hyperventilating. I knew nothing about myself, my situation, my life before this, just… nothing.
Although I was quite obviously panicking, I didn't stop walking. I stumbled a bit, then started running. I didn't know why I was running, or from what I was running, I just had no control over my body anymore. I raced through a town, not faltering. Why am I here? Did I jump? Why would I jump?
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?
WHO AM I?
…Who am I…
Ok, first of all. This is an AU, because well... the world still exists for one thing. Of course there are other things that make it an AU, but no spoilers! Thanks for reading!
Oh, and if anyone here reads my other Undertale story, Falling Hopes, the update is coming today or tomorrow. I wrote it, just waiting for it to be proofread.
Thank you, KemikaWhizKali for proofreading this!
