3. What? What happened while I was out?
UGH, vines wont stop shaking…
Someone WROTE IN HERE! That's IT! When I find out who, I'm going to-
Oh.
Now I see.
And the worst part is… I know who.
4. Great. Just great. Asgore HAD to bring Frisk TODAY, didn't he? As if the old man couldn't wait a measly day! Would it KILL him to wait a day or two, because not waiting at all certainly will. Then he has the audacity to walk in here like everything's all peachy and say, "Good morning, son! Golly, I haven't slept that good in decades. How about you, Asriel? How did you sleep?" I glared at him.
Hmm… Gee DAD, let's see:
Bags forming under my eyes? Check.
Pounding agonizing headache? Check!
Increased impulse to STRANGLE somebody? Oh, like you wouldn't BELIEVE! CHECK!
Yep, I had a GREAT night's sleep, DAD. Thanks for asking!
Golly, I don't know what happened last night. I wasn't even doing anything wrong.
I thought it was a dream, but it looked so real. Almost like another world. It was dark, darker, yet darker. As this world shattered before me, the darkness kept growing. The shadows cutting deeper all around me. It was like... I could feel it. I could feel it burrowing into my skin. It felt as if knives were violently slashing my body apart. It felt very... familiar. I don't know why! I've never been slashed by knives before. Maybe spears, but certainly not knives!
Then as if the darkness dispersed like a fog, I saw him. I saw his face. It was pale and deformed. I wondered for a moment how could I forget that THIS was Gaster? I've run into him before, but only enough times that I could count with my nonexistent fingers!
He spoke, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. Then my body started to convulse. It became fragmented, like it was glitching out. My limbs were falling apart and reappearing again in a variety of ways and in a variety of places. It was like being electrocuted and burned at the same time. I don't know how long it lasted, but it felt like forever. It was as if I had ended up in hell.
I cried out incessantly, calling out for anyone who could hear me. But, to be honest, I didn't think anyone would. There was something that was beating inside of me. Something that made me think that I deserved this. This was my fate. My TRUE fate. That I should just embrace it and accept it. Then, as I began to give in this newfound reality, it stopped. My body was left in a cold and trembling numbness. This was hours ago, but even as I type now, I can still feel its aftereffects.
Gaster said something else after that, but I couldn't understand what it was. Then I blinked and I was back! I was sitting in front of my tablet, like I was last night. I could hear Asgore snoring not too far by. It left me to question something, though. Did everything end up RESETting or... you know what? I don't know. I don't care. It was probably just a bad dream, that's all. I'm going to try and get some shut eye before I have to deal with Frisk along with the others. I really don't want to do this.
5. Welp, I'm home. Or what I used to call home. Whatever. At least Asgore let me keep the tablet. The others gave me things as well, as welcome home gifts. I got a wider pot, a bag of my favorite gummy worms, a giant bone (Geez, Papyrus), and soil soaking with so many tears I wouldn't need water for weeks. If only there was a way I could sink into it and drown, because I don't want to be here anymore.
I told Frisk not to tell them about my true identity. I TOLD HIM! I told him as soon as he came to Asgore's house that I told him. Our first moments of reconciliation with each other, and I spent them screaming my head off.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I yelled. "Why did you tell them!?"
"I-I didn't!" Frisk said all "innocently".
"YES, YOU DID! How ELSE would they have found out? Why did you show them my journal?!"
What a piece of work, that boy is! All this bickering back and forth, and Frisk left my poor dad sitting there, sipping on his tea. And if THAT weren't enough, Asgore was the ONLY one who apologized!
Asgore tried to make things better by saying he'd talk with Toriel in order to 'help' me. Help ME?! What does he mean by helping ME!? He's never helped me with squat! Neither he nor Toriel. Does he really think that ANYTHING he tries to do would help ME? Hee Hee Hee… That poor naïve idiot. He should just give up. I did.
6. Toriel made my favorite pie, now that she knows who I am. I don't understand. Eating used to take away all the pain, but I'm not like HIM. HE could eat and then forget about all his problems, as if they were never there at all. But for me, I feel just as empty as before I ate. They don't miss ME, they miss HIM. Can't they just DROP IT!? I don't even know who this Asriel guy is! Who is he, anyway? He sounds like a wuss.
Sans and I talked, later on. At least he still calls me "FLOWEY". Complete with the bad plant puns and everything. FINALLY, this guy gets it! Anyway, he explained that perhaps we could try a more "humanistic approach" in helping me, since science and magic aren't developed enough to make me a SOUL. I think it's futile, but Alphys said she'd try to make me one. But before that, she wants to run a small experiment on me. She wants to see if I actually have a SOUL or not. What? Me? With a SOUL? HAH! I've been going through timelines for far too long, Alphys. Don't make me laugh!
Also, I'd REALLY hate to burst these peoples' bubbles, but the whole "humanistic approach" just REEKS of a bad idea. I can't believe Sans would actually agree to this! Bringing me to some HUMAN doctor so I could talk to THEM about MY problems? What good are they gonna do? Ask me about how I feel all day? Give me "medicine"? Fool me into thinking, "Oh no, you don't NEED a SOUL in order to feel. It's just all in your head"? Maybe they'll kill me for all I know. Put an end to this horrible nightmare. Don't they realize that me not having a SOUL IS the problem? They're all just lucky I'm too tired to kill anybody.
7. Boy, Toriel hasn't kissed my forehead like that in a really long time. It felt… nice. Too bad I can't really care. I hate being a flower.
Author's Note: Hello, everyone! AND YES! OUR SPECIAL GUEST FOR THIS PART'S STORY IS INDEED GASTER! YAAAAAY! I'm glad most of you were able to pick up on that, but seriously though, what made some of you think it was Chara? xD I'm genuinely curious. Anyway, while I would love to reply to all of you who left reviews, I just started a new job over the last month I hadn't been posting so I gotta run for the shower just as soon as I post this. It's my first day and my first job so if you guys do happen to leave any good wishes, that means a lot!
