(Q&AWTG)

Zach and the others meet up to discuss recent events. "... as I'm sure a couple of you know by now, Chara had to reset the other night. The reason was that someone snuck into our house... and murdered the kids. The same night in the other universe, someone killed their Chara, they reset too. All we have to go on is this." Zach explained, showing everyone the knife pendant. It was at their old, adbandoned ask house where they had their meeting.

"Oh, so that's why the reset took place." Everyone who remembered the resets asked at the same time, except for Utf, who chased down the answer the previous day.

"The only question is...Who would DARE torture my child, let alone my grandkids?" Toriel growled.

"Hey, I may have killed out of boredom, and because of lack of a soul, but just targeting a bloodline, is downright despicable!" Flowey spat.

"I say, anyone, be it human or monster, shall be treated as a threat if we do not know them." Asgore stated. "What!? It's all I could come up with! At least it's better then sentencing innocent children to death." Asgore exclaimed. Everyone laughed at his expense.

"Typical Asgore, unorigonal as always." Mettaton hummed. Everyone laughed yet again at Asgore's expense.

Zach brought the attention back towards the mysterious assasin. "Zara's also started having nightmares, I thought spending time with the other toddlers would help. So... any questions?" Zach asked.

"Hmm, What about?" Frisk asked

"Apparently, she's been hearing voices in her head telling her that she's a demon and she is just gonna end up killing everyone someday." Chara explained.

"S-someone k-killed Zara and the triplets? Why would someone kill babies?" Emma asked, overhearing the conversation between the adults. "I'm gonna go investigate, cover for me while I'm gone." Emma asked, after seeing the picture of the pendant. Emma kissed Sorial, before heading into a nearby mirror.

In the meantime, Ink, Error, PaperJam and Core were looking into different timelines, The four of them have found that multiple Chara's have been dissapearing and/or being found dead. "hmmm, interesting some fiend is targeting only the chara bloodline." Ink stated.

"dirty glitches is what they are." Error exclaimed.

"They seem to be hiding in a post genocide timeline." Core added. "One of the Aftertale universes." They added.

"hey dad, didn't they attack chara, zara and the triplets in the universe i grew up in?" PaperJam asked.

"That and the alternate timeline to that Universe." Core added.

"luckily, at least some charas are capable of resetting" Ink stated. "speaking of which, let's see how they're doing in that timeline." Ink said.

(AOTPT)

Everyone was discussing the exact same thing. It figured Zach would send an E-mail, instead of visiting. The e-mail said 'We're gonna stay here today, let the others know what's going on. Stay safe Chara.

P.S. On a happier note, how'd that cake work out for you?'

"Thank's for your support!" Chara exclaimed.

"We don't quite know yet, Utf has been checking for signs of a new soul once a day." Martin explained.

"Speaking of which, where is she?" Hannah wondered. Nobody had seen her as of late.

(Later, Q&AWTG)

"Hey Chara, what was that you got from Utf yesterday?" Zach asked, whispering to Chara.

"Nothing really, she had some stuff for the other universe, to put into place whilst she was there." Chara whispered back.

Emma came back from the mirror with some juicy gossip. "Hey, apparently it's not just us. A bunch of Charas are disappearing or having bad things happen to them. That symbol seems to appear at a lot of the incidents. Rumor has it that they're hiding in a post genocide timeline." Emma explained to everyone.

"And how would you have found that out? You're supposed to be grounded." Toriel asked.

"I know... but this is important! I had to do something!" Emma exclaimed.

"so, hiding in a post genocide timeline huh? should we tell geno.? Sans asked, it was a good idea.

Later, when it got close to nightime, Zach put Zara to bed with all the other kids. "Alright little ones, I was gonna wait for this, but I feel like I should give you these now to be safe." Zach said, giving a pendant to each of the triplets. Angel's glowed purple (Keeps trying to play with shocker), Maicoh's red(First out of the three to talk) and Felan's green(Thought he accidentally broke his brother). "Oh yeah, I forgot, we haven't given you guys a soul check up yet. Hey Chara look at this. We can tell what kind of souls they have now. Also makes it easier to tell the boys apart." Zach exclaimed, chuckling.

"Haha, yeah, so one of the triplets is the same as me, and the other is the same as you." Chara exclaimed.

"Zara, make sure you keep your pendant on, remember it has protection magic on it to help keep you safe." Zach instructed, as Zara looked at her pendant, which glowed orange.

Zara had a nightmare again, as she fell asleep. "Hi there little demon.~ Oh, what? You didn't think it was gonna stop did you? Aww, the poor little demon wolf, sad that they're gonna kill everyone they care about eventually, hell you've already almost gotten people killed haven't you?" The demon taunted.

"It's not true, please, just go away! I'd never hurt a fly." Zara cried as images flashed by her of people dying by her hand.

"It's not your choice, it's just who you are, demon." The voice taunted, turning into Zara. "You will hurt people you care about..." They continued, doing the creepy face. "They will die." They said, getting closer. "And it will be. All. Your. Fault." They stated.

Zara got angry and slashed at the figure with wolf claws. "Zara...that hurt...you woke us up with your thhrashing." Finn stated, holding his cheek, wet with blood. "Was it that bad?" Finn asked, lowering his hand to comfort Zara.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean..." Zara gaped, seeing the three gashes across the cheek of the boy she was chasing. Ashamed she ran away.

A hooded figure appeared by Zara. Zara could not feel any danger coming from them, so thought they were okay. "Hello child, are you lost?" The hooded figure asked.

"I'm a demon, I hurt my best friend, I'm running away so I don't hurt anyone else." Zara explained.

"Hmm, runaway huh? How about you come with me, I think I know a place for you." The figure said, taking them to MT Ebott, where, many years ago was the home of monsters, but the barrier has been broken for nearly thirty years and monsters live on the surface now. "Mount Ebbot, lots of kids who wanted to disappear came here." The figure said, once they got to the mountain. The figure opened a flask, pouring some tea into a mug. "Here, it will help." The figure gave Zara the tea.

Zara drank the tea, and then started to look sleepy after the nightmare. Zara then let fatigue wash over her as she collapsed backwards into the same hole that her mother fell into, the same one that Frisk fell into long after. "If the fall doesn't do it... the buttercup tea should." The figure said, leaving.

In the meantime, Zach woke up to find Zara missing. Upon seeing the gashes in Finn's face, he began to panic."Are you ok?! What happened?!" Zach asked.

"Zara attacked me in her sleep, she was having a nightmare I guess, I tried to comfort her after she woke, but she bolted." Finn explained. Zach ran in the same direction Zara did in wolf form, out looking for her.
