Chapter Three: Someone Familiar
A shrouded figure made its way into the castle. The hood fell off, due to the figure's large horns. With a technicolored palm, the figure unlocked a door, stepping in. It sat down on one of the beds, sighing. It looked into a mirror and smiled.
"It's still me," he told himself. Picking up an old sweater of his and placing it back in the wardrobe beside him, he got up and left the room.
"Asriel," Chara looked over at the person entering. Asriel sat next to her and sighed.
"It's getting lonely here..." he said. She narrowed her eyes.
"Why so?"
"Mom and Dad left. So did many other monsters. The barrier is open, yet..." he trailed off. Chara pondered over this. She shook her head and stood up.
"Do you want to take over there, too?" Chara asked.
"Wh-What?" Asriel looked up at her, surprised by her question.
"Just think about it, Asriel! The ultimate power within my– our!– hands!" she grinned deviously. Asriel stared at her for a moment. Power didn't matter to him. Chara seemed to notice because she added, "You get to see your family, Asriel."
Asriel's ears perked up. He could see mom and dad...
"Okay," he told her, "I'll do it."
