Hey! Caramel here, I kinda fell down with a slight stomach bug so thats why this chapter is a little late. Bleh, and anyways the entire chapter will be mostly in Chara's POV because well, Chara's about to d- oh... probably shouldnt have said that. Just read. Heheh.

Chara's POV

"FRISK!" I stared down the void, nothing, it was just an ocean of black. I was crying, Frisk just fell, this 'dome' is collapsing, Asriel faded out. Everythings going wrong. Now what was Frisk saying? Something about wanting to live? But how can I do that? No. No, no, no. My entire world is falling apart. I can't do anything. I looked around, the dome was almost completely gone. Wait. I read something about this. Come on Chara think. Think think think. SOULS!

I tried to remember everything I could about souls. If monsters touch them, the soul and monster fuse. If other humans touch them, they get 'stored'. If the human the soul belongs to touches them, they get trapped in the... soul. I looked around and then remember that I had the book in my bag,

"OF COURSE! I'm in my soul! But how do i get out..." I grabbed the book out my satchel and flipped to a page.

The human needs to have a will to live if they get trapped in the soul, if the human stays in the soul for too long, the soul begins to fall apart unless it gets stored or fused.

"Thats why its falling apart, but how did Frisk get in? They couldn't have touched the soul... The soul wouldn't be collapsing. But scratch that, for now I have to get OUT of here... ok," If the human trapped in the soul has a will to live, the soul will continue to shatter, if the human does not, the soul and the human dissapear. This causes death. However if another human or monster tries to interact with the human while they are in the soul, they will be teleported into the soul. The other human or monster only has a certain timeframe they can go in and speak with the owner of the soul, once that timeframe has passed, the human will then be teleported out of the soul and back into their own body. "Oh well thats how Frisk got in... but how do I get out"

The human has to get out of the soul before the entire soul collapses, in order to do that, the human has to make this symbol on the dome's floor with their own blood:自由.

I quickly shut the book, "Oh boy, okay lets do this..." I grabbed a piece of the shattered glass and sliced my palm, I winced as the glass cut through the skin. I scooped up the blood with my other hand and began drawing the symbol. When I finished, the symbol began glowing. It gave off a faint glow. I tore a piece of cloth from my T-Shirt and wrapped it tightly around my palm. The symbol's light started getting brighter, it grew into a blinding light. I felt a surge of electricity go through my body, "Auu!' I groaned but I couldnt move. I began to float up into the middle of the dome, and then I... THUD.

A couple days later...

I sat up on a bed, it wasn't mine, "Chara!" I turned my head and there sat mom.

"Mom? Where am I-yow!" mom was squeezing me in a tight hug. I could barely breathe, she let go and started pulling and pushing my face,"Mom... What are you doing" my voice was muffled due to her pushing my cheeks together.

"Oh my Chara... Frisk! Asriel! Chara's up!" Frisk and Asriel bolted through the hospital door and they both hugged me.

"We thought you... died... thank goodness you're alright!" Asriel said, Frisk was crying and so was mom.

"Guys, I'm fine. Now where am I!" I let them continue their hugging session but I wanted an answer.

"You're at the hospital deary," one of the nurses came in holding a clipboard, "Okay, kids please wait in the hall," Frisk and Asriel walked out of the room as the nurse watched them, "Okay, miss Toriel, Chara here went through some minor physical cuts and bruises, but has went through some more severe mental trauma." As soon as the nurse that, the memories flooded back. My eyes widened and I clutched the sides of the bed as hard as possible

Frisk... The void... The soul... The book... My hand... blood... The last word echoed through my head and I began crying, Mom then hugged me as my tears stained her dress.

"Oh my, Doctor!" The nurse called out, A doctor rushed in and took mom out of the room,

"Mommy!.. please doctor... I don't want to be alone anymore" I layed on the bed in a fetal position, my arms wrapped around my knees, "Not anymore..." Tears rolled down my cheek as he gave me a shot. Everything began to go blurry. I closed my eyes a final tear rolled down as everything went black.

The next morning...

I woke up on my side, facing the window. I was still holding my knees, I was in a hospital gown now. I heard the blank beat of the monitor next to me. A vase of flowers sat on the stand next to my bed, golden flowers, my favorite. I smiled, something I haven't done in a long time, a tear rolled on my cheek. I turned to lie on my back, out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone in the chair. I turned my head and there sat Frisk and Asriel, asleep on the armrests. I looked down and noticed the band attached to my wrist, a tube ran out of it. The tube was attached to the IV bag. I sat up and looked around the room, My eyes wandered to the clock,

"10:28, it's kind of early..." I plopped my head back on the pillow. A couple minutes passed before a nurse came in.

"Morning sunshine, just need to give your dose. I'll be out in a second" The nurse gave me another shot, I winced a little bit as the needle pierced my skin. I am not a fan of shots, Frisk shifted in the chair as they woke up, the stood up and walked over to a door which I assumed was the bathroom. When Frisk came back I sat up.

"Hey Frisk..."

"Oh Chara you're up!" they walked over to the chair and shook Asriel, "Chara's up" they whispered. They then walked over to me and hugged me, Asriel stood up and walked over to us.

"Hey Chara, I got you something." He walked over to the nightstand and grabbed something, he walked back and handed it to me, "I got some of your favorite chocolate" He smiled and hugged me, I smiled back and set the gift on the nightstand by the flowers.

"Thanks, by the way... wheres mom and how long have I been here?" I asked, I was now sitting on the edge of the bed.

"She's with the doctor getting some papers together, and you've been here for 5 days," Asriel said, "Something about getting you out of here and back home. I just hope you come back home soon." He smiled as a doctor came in with mom. Five days? Holy cow...

"Okay Chara, it's time. miss Dreemurr, you need to give her one pill every hour for a couple days until..." The doctor whispered the last part so I couldn't hear what she said after 'until'. I finally was able to stand, my back and legs ached terribly however. Frisk and Asriel ran to both my sides and helped me walk, I had somewhat of a headache from being in the hospital for nearly a week. I walked slowly towards the door, my back feeling like someone has stabbed my a million times.

The ride home was decently fast, nothing too eventful. Mom put me straight to bed as she began preparing some dinner. Frisk and Asriel stayed in the room with me, Frisk fell asleep on the bed and Asriel sat against my bed and snored. Mom came in with a small tray that held some soup, toast, and a glass of chocolate milk. She sat on the bed and set the tray on my lap.

"Here Chara," she handed me a couple napkins as she stood.

"Thanks mom," I smiled at her and she mouthed 'Your welcome' while turning off one of the lights, leaving my nightstand light on a dim setting. The door shut, leaving me with the tray of food, Asriel, and Frisk in a silent ambience. I sat up in my bed and slowly ate the food, my back still felt like a thousand needles have just stabbed me. I attempt moving my leg but a shockwave of pain shoots up it as I groan. Asriel woke up to the groan and looked back at me.

"Chara! Are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine, just a little ache in my leg" I lied, but it wasn't too far off from the truth so I shrug it off.

"Be careful with the tray!" he reminded me, I smiled and began eating my soup. One sip of the soup and I fell in love, I chowed the soup down in less than 5 minutes. I soaked the toast in what was left of the soup and ate the bread aswell. I finished the meal off with the chocolate milk. Asriel stood up and took the tray out, I thanked him and he smiled at me as he left. Frisk turned to face me, they stood up and got out of their bed. They smiled as they walked over to pick a board game. They picked out Scrabble and set the game up on the floor next to my bed. Asriel walked in delighted to play, they both helped me off my bed and onto the floor.

We played for a couple hours late into the night, I checked the clock in our room and it read 11:46 P.M. I've already taken those stupid pills about 13 times, It'll be 14 soon. Frisk started putting the game away and Asriel collapsed on the floor snoring, Frisk and I laughed at his sudden sleep. When Frisk put the game on it's shelf the layed on the floor. I layed inbetween Asriel and Frisk, I fell into a deep sleep which I haven't had in many weeks. months? maybe even years.

Toriel's POV

I walked in the kids' bedroom to give Chara their pill but find the trio sleeping on the floor peacefully. I smiled and grabbed a blanket from my room to lay on the sleeping children. They all snored peacefully as I layed the blanket on top of them. I walked back to the kitchen to grab three slices of pie. I set them on the nightstand for them to find in the morning. I walked back out to the living room and sat in my chair. I grabbed a book and read, I knew they would all get along.
