Chapter Five: A Plan Begins to Form
"Now, Asriel- Asriel, pay attention!" Chara scolded. Her yelling brought Asriel out of his daze and he turned away from the window to look at her. She grumbled something under her breath before sighing and continuing.
"Anyway. Now, Asriel, you'll be attending this school. I've pinned down the town they should be in based on what I overheard at Mettaton's place," Chara explained, putting a finger on a red X on the map she'd acquired. Asriel nodded.
"Then, you'll become friends with Frisk and her pals- if she has any," Chara snickered devilishly to Asriel's disliking, "Everyone will be so ecstatic for you to stay with them and how you're back. Since you won't be able to sneak into the Underground as usual, I have a setup that is sure to work."
Asriel watched as she took out notes. He felt awkward and wrong doing all this, but he kept in mind he'd see his parents again.
"While you're interacting and gaining trust, I'll be down here finding more ways to take over up there. Or-" she wrote a new note down, "I'll find information up there!"
She continued scribbling out notes and replacing them.
"Anyway, when everyone is asleep, you and I shall meet," she paused, examining the map, "Here."
She finally pointed to a spot near the main park.
"I'd find somewhere close to their home, but I'm afraid I don't know where that is. Besides, there's an entrance to the underground there, believe it or not," she beamed. Asriel just nodded again, looking over everything. Chara excused herself, grabbing her knife and rushing out of the room. She took that thing everywhere.
Asriel sighed, his eyes sad as he examined the perfectly laid out plan. He knew she wanted to hurt them, but just didn't exactly know why.
"I guess the tables have turned for us…" he said softly. He shook his head and set the papers he had in his grasp down. It was going to be tough keeping her trust after a while.
