Chara looked into the magenta eyes of her former foster mother, and suddenly felt it become very hard to breathe. After all these years, Toriel would finally see her child again. She quickly flew towards her, arms outstretched. "Mom! It's m-"Chara's shout was cut off as she reached goat mum - and went straight through her. She found herself staring at the greyish-purple wall the cave was made of. The goat carried on as if nothing had happened. Which, Chara slowly realised, was true from Toriel's perspective. She realised that her voice hadn't echoed like Toriel's had, as if it didn't exist. Toriel couldn't see her. Flowey couldn't see her.

She was alone.

Chara zoned out for the next minute or so, lost in her chaotic thoughts. A small tapping sound brought her out of her mini existential crisis. She looked down to see Frisk staring directly at her and poking the cold stone of a sign mounted on the wall. They wanted her to read it to them. Great. Not only was she invisible to almost everyone, the only living being who could see her was some weird kid who couldn't even read. Just perfect. With a deep sigh, Chara read the inscription.

"Only the fearless may proceed. Brave ones foolish ones. Both walk not the middle road."

Hmm. Chara glanced aside at the solved puzzle. Both not walk the middle road…oooh. The two middle buttons weren't pushed, so the middle road had not been walked. Simple, but nice. Frisk and Chara both proceded into the next room (well, it wasn't like Chara had any choice) to find Toriel waiting patiently for them. She explained that Frisk needed to flip some switches, which Chara thought were a little excessively labelled. Count on Toriel to help that much with a little task. Again, Chara felt that sharp pang, and quickly thought of other things. She didn't need emotions to get in the way of her plan.

In the next room was a bored looking dummy. Frisk was instructed to strike up a friendly conversation with the dummy, so they nervously approached it. The world around them grew dark as two luminescent buttons appeared in front of Frisk.

FIGHT ACT

Choose FIGHT

"Listen Frisk," The child paused, their hand hovering over the ACT button. Over the last few minutes Chara had been thinking over her plan, and had realised the kid would need some LOVE if they were going to survive the Underground. And even if she persuaded them that killing the monsters was best, there was no way this sweet kid could ever bring themselves to harm a living being. Which is why Chara knew she'd need to take the wheel. She also felt this…urge. The urge to kill everyone. Just to see what would happen.

"I have a plan, to free everyone down here. And to do it I'm…I'm going to have to possess you"

Frisk looked shocked and signed "What?!"

"I know it sounds weird Frisk, but…" Chara cringed inwardly at what she was about to say." I'm beginning to really like you, and you want to be friends, right? So…

Don't you trust your best friend?"

To Be Continued in Winged Demon (coming soon…maybe…in a while)

Chose ACT

Frisk pushed their hand down onto the Act button. Nothing happened. Frisk looked up at the ghost child expectantly. 'They want me to tell them what to do? Ugh' "You can Check or Talk"

"Talk" Frisk signed. Chara replied with what she saw.

"You talked to the dummy…it doesn't seem much for conversation"

Frisk giggled slightly at Chara's cynicalness as the world around them faded back to the bright browns and purples of the ruins. Toriel complimented them on their conversational skills before proceeding to the next room, Frisk following close behind.

Heeeeellllloooo everyone! I guess I have a bit of explaining to do. First of all, I was ill for a bit, then I had to go to my grandparent's house, and I generally didn't have any time to write this story. So, sorry about that. From now on it will (probably) update every Saturday (yes I know it's a Thursday I wanted to get this chapter out sooner). Secondly, this fic's plot. As you saw in the last bit of this chapter, there were two outcomes. For this story I will be following the 'Choose ACT' path, but as you saw at the end of 'Choose FIGHT', there will be another story stemming off that decision, which will be called Winged Demon and will be written after this story. When BOTH of those stories are done I will put up a poll on which ending you want to be the 'canon' ending, and whatever ending gets picked I will write a 1,000 or so word epilogue. Thirdly, check out my tumblr at .com ! I might make a tumblr for this fic, depending on how popular it gets. Well, that's all for now. Byyyyyyeeee!
