***Hello, everyone! So, this was honestly made up as I went along, but I'm glad that I made it up because I feel bad that I left this story. But I'm here now! Anyways, Sans, Papyrus, Toriel, Frisk, and Grillby belong to Toby Fox, Kabel and other peeps belong to me, and let's jump in!

Chapter Thirteen: What's Going On?

Kabel stared at her phone for a few moments, petrified. She hardly noticed it when Grillby stepped out of the shower-with only a towel around his waist-and went to his closet to look for some day clothes. Kabel got up from the bed (after all, she'd left her phone in the bedroom, so she had to go back upstairs to check it after breakfast) and went after her purse.

She didn't care that she was smoking in the middle of her boyfriend's bedroom. That was the last of her concerns. She just needed to get enough of a grip on her sanity-what was left of it, at least-to process what her next move should've been.

"What's got you so wound up?" Grillby asked, now fully dressed.

Kabel took her cigarette from her mouth and looked at him. "Papyrus kept sending me texts about how he would bring me home in the middle of the night. But Sans told me that there's a bunch of police officers that showed up bright and early today, and some scientists that are all asking him, Papyrus, Toriel, and Frisk about me! The worst part is, Sans has been enough of a d-bag recently to recount every little thing that I trusted only him and Papyrus to know to those cops! And he told me that they've been demanding to see me!" she explained rather loudly. She finished her smoke.

Right as she went to put a second one in her mouth, Grillby said, "You know you have to face them eventually." Kabel gritted her teeth, then sighed. "I know that. And I know it's gonna end badly," she said. She put her second cigarette in her mouth in angry silence.

"You want me to come with you, don't you?" Grillby asked. Kabel couldn't look at him as she nodded, blushing.

XxX

A skeletal hand tightly held one made of fire as Grillby and Kabel walked over.

It was a quiet walk, as Kabel was too deep in her own thoughts and a bit high on the nicotine her stress demanded from her. And Grillby had always been more of a quiet type in the first place.

At last, they walked up to the house. Kabel went up to the door, but only stared at it. At last, she used a shaky hand to actually open up the door. "Let's get this over with," she said. Grillby knew that she was scared, even if she wasn't going to admit it. So, they went inside.

In the living room was where everyone was. "Everyone" meant Sans, Papyrus, Toriel, Frisk, monster authorities, human authorities (including Officer Strickland), and monster scientists. They were all talking about something. Until Officer Strickland looked over.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the murderer herself," he said.

Kabel's eye sockets widened. "Murderer? I haven't killed anyone!" she protested.

"You killed the Royal Scientist. The one before Dr. Alphys, I mean," one of the monster authorities said.

"I didn't kill him! I just... almost killed him. You guys know that. You were the ones who put me in the slammer for it," Kabel corrected, sounding a bit awkward.

"It was inadvertedly, then. But, you did lead him to do it. Here, take a look at this journal entry we found. I've written the English translation, should you not know the Wing Dings," one of the scientists said.

Kabel took the paper from him. "It was engraved into my brain. I know Wing Dings," she said. Still, she read the journal entry:

Entry 0312:

I am useless. That girl got away. She nearly killed me. I'm certain she went crazy. I doubt she is alright to face the public. After all, my experiments are all she's known for years now.

Without S1, P2, or K3, there is no sort of work to be done. K3 has injured me beyond repair. Even the healing magic of the queen couldn't fix the damage to my SOUL she did. Well... she's just as useless as I am. She can't go ballistic like that on everyone she meets, and she'll have that magic-restricting device for life on her rib!

I cannot perform my scientific duties any longer. I have no subjects. My body will never be in a state to work again. The Underground is losing hope, and quickly, at that. I have lost my mind.

I would be better off in the Core, within my creation. For as long as I shall last.

Arial... I miss you, Arial...

That was where it ended. Kabel put down the entry and let that sink in. "Oh my God... I lead my dad to kill himself..." she said. When she looked around, she realized everyone was staring at her. They were anticipating her next words. So, she was going to give them what they wanted.

"But he deserved it. He put me, Sans, and Papyrus through hell just because Mom died. That hurt us too. Did he not see that we were hurting too?! We all cried that night when we found out that Mom wouldn't be coming home! Dad left me and these two to just hand onto the edge in our little cells, switching us out for his terrible experiments! When he went home, we all wished for freedom. My brother got it before I did, but not without damages. Sans lost his eye glow in his right eye socket and Papyrus can hardly even remember half of what we went through. And I know that I got freedom, yeah, and I'm grateful for that. But at the cost of staying much longer that my brothers, having to cut off part of my rib, going to prison, unintentionally killing my dad, and losing half of my vision! That's why I only have one eyelight, after all. I'm trying to make things better. My brain is trying to get better. But I got kicked out by my only family members! Grillby's care can only do so much! The cigarettes can only do so much! Now, you cops and scientists are back after me, just to remind me of what I've done! I live with it every single day of my life! So just go ahead and do whatever you want with me. Because I'm done trying. I'm done trying to fix myself," she caved.

Everyone kept staring. They were all shocked by such an outburst. Kabel reached into her purse and lit a cigarette.

It was after she took and released a drag that she said a single word.

"Well?"

***Being honest, writing Kabel's outburst was my favorite part of this entire chapter. Anyways, be sure to leave a review on the way out, and I'll see you all in the next one! Bye!
