Chapter 6

"Hello, I'm here to visit-"

"Yeah yeah, your dad. We know." Chara sighed. The prison guards had never gotten nicer to them in 6 years. Why didn't they understand that this was their father of all people, who they hadn't seen in, well, decades? "Well, sorry kiddo, but he was just transferred."

"Transferred!?" Chara was shocked.

"Yep. To Texas, too," The guard stated, shaking his head. "Dunno why." Chara had to step back for a second.

Transferred? To Texas, of all places? Chara closed their eyes.

"Well, sorry kiddo, but unless you wanna visit someone else, skedaddle."

Chara rolled their eyes and walked outside, sitting on the bench.

There go my plans for today… They played with the necklace. I didn't even get to show him the necklace.

They looked up at the sky.

I didn't even get to say goodbye.

They had missed him so much. They spent every day visiting him, every day since they were able to 5 years earlier. It was the best part of their day, getting to share it with him.

Making up for the 15 or so years they had been gone.

It had taken a little to tell him what had happened, but he was fully accepting of everything, and he had spoken fondly of finally getting out of prison.

It broke their heart that he was transferred away.

They clenched their fist.

I have a feeling I know who took him away from me… They stood up and walked back in. The guard rolled his eyes at the sight of them.

"Kid, I told you already, your dad-"

"I want to see Meredith Breiner." The guard was taken offguard. He sat up and looked at them.

"Kid…"

"I. Want. To. See. Meredith. Breiner." Chara insisted, slamming their hand on the desk.

"...Come with me." The guard relented, leading Chara with him to the visitor's room.

Meredith was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial. She's been sent back here to finish her sentence from killing Jonathan.

"I'll grab her. Stay put." The guard told Chara as he left them in the room. Minutes later, Meredith walked in and sat down across from them, smirking.

"So, couldn't get enough of me, huh?" She taunted. "You missed your mommy, Charlotte?"

"You're not my mother. You never were," Chara snapped. "I know what you did. You got my dad transferred." Meredith chuckled.

"Didn't take you long to figure that out, huh?"

"You're a horrible person, Meredith."

"You're just now realizing that?" She giggled. "I'd have thought you'd figure that out when I killed Jonathan."

"Shut up," Chara snapped.

"Aww, am I hurting your feewings?" Meredith egged Chara on. Chara paused and took a breath.

"How did you get him tranferred? Did you accuse him of rape again? Did you force him to attack you?"

"That's for me to know and you to never find out~"

"Fuck off."

"Oooo, touchy, are we?" Meredith crossed her arms.

Chara did the same, pausing to take a breath.

"That was my father, you incredulous bitch. One of my best friends, one of the best people in my life, and you took him from me. Twice."

"Boo hoo. Everyone loses things," Meredith scoffed. She rolled her eyes and added, "I would know."

"Oh, so you just 'lost' Jonathan? You just 'lost' my dad?"

"I lost my family, you ungrateful little shit. My parents disowned me when I was 18,"

"Gee, I wonder why? Was it your sadism that time? Or the fact that you don't care about anyone except yourself?"

"I just got even with some old friends."

"You just got 'even'?" Chara scoffed and laughed at the same time. "Let me guess: You stabbed them?"

"Maybe. You'll never know," Meredith shrugged. Chara scowled at her.

Take a breath, Chara. They told themselves. Remember, Alphys is working on that truth serum. You'll get some answers then.

"The truth will come out eventually, Meredith," Chara told the woman. "Whether you like it or not." Meredith laughed.

"We'll see, Charlotte," Meredith managed through laughter. "We'll see."

In any case, Chara was upset as they left the detention center.

I can't believe he's just...gone.

Texas is so far away. I'll never be able to see him again.

Ever.

"Chara?" Alice asked, looking up as her sibling walked in. Chara looked at her and then sat down, putting their arms on the table and then their head into their arms. Alice paused, saying nothing, before going to hug them.

After everything, they definitely needed it.

Hey yall.

I know this chapter was a long time coming, and I'm sorry its so short and shitty.

But i need to be honest with yall.

Part of the reason for the late update has been lack of motivation. I know thats what I say for every late update, but it still holds true.

I feel as though I overshot myself by promising a sequel.

Another part has been my mental health.

My mental health has been steadily getting worse. I can barely find the energy to get through the day, let alone write. I can't even find the energy to post this chapter when I finished it, and when I did try to post it, Fanfiction glitched out.

This probably sounds like excuses to all of you, but everything I say is true. I am so incredibly sorry for all the delays, and I will try to make it up to all of you once I regain my motivation.

I do not have the motivation to write this story at the moment. I am going on a long hiatus, unfortunately.

I cannot give a time I will be back.

I will try to write more chapters while I am gone.

I am so sorry for letting everyone down.
