"So that's it?" Freya asked.
Upon being placed in a world that was so unknown to both her and the demonic being inside of her, the two had decided to come up with a temporary truce for the time being. Although the two of them hasn't seen the surface in such a long time, it was clear that they were unwanted in this society. It made sense after all…
The two had decided to make a detour through the forest. It was the most logical choice since it would be easier to hide from humans that pass by. With both the forestry and the shadows that lurked with the light of day fading quickly, it shouldn't be much of a problem...
But despite the fact that humans were such negative creatures, it was difficult to deny that the atmosphere around them was beautiful as if it wasn't built by man itself or even touched by such a malevolent species. Oh, the irony in that thought was huge, but it was probably not for the best to think about that so soon.
Things were just going as smoothly as planned. Although this world was completely alien to them both, it was surely to be a fun experience, or so they thought.
"You know, I could get used to this… Maybe we could destroy the humans and keep the world as it is…"
"OR… We can simply keep quiet and get around without causing attention to ourselves. We really shouldn't get into direct contact with humans, for obvious reasons…"
Chara huffed as a response. "Killjoy…" They muttered.
However, with giving this clear response, they didn't know the danger that they were setting themselves into…
The possessed Freya arrived at the end of the forest, a town just below was what they saw, but it seemed rather quiet. This was most likely because everyone was settled in their homes, each individual slowly falling into a peaceful sleep in order to wake up the next day with enthusiasm at most.
"Okay, maybe we should head back before someone finds us…"
Too late…
A clicking sound was evident from right behind them. A cold barrel of a gun was felt prodding at the back of her neck.
"Well, I haven't seen you around here before, little lady… Who are you?" The stranger said suspiciously, keeping the gun barrel held dead on Freya. Just by the voice alone, it was clear that it was a male, however because of the fact that she was a stranger as well in his eyes, he made sure that the safety was on.
Freya took a deep breath, taking in what could be her final breath of fresh air. Here goes nothing…
She quickly moved away from the weapons aim, moving behind the man to get a good view of him. Her fingers became dragged against the ground in order to stop her from moving anymore. After all, one wrong move and she could end up captured or at a worst case scenario, dead.
The man was taller and broader than her to say the least, although it was too dark to see his facial features.
"What!?" He said, quickly turning his head to place his line of sights on the hybrid. It was then he noticed to two differently coloured eyes, as well as the set of pearl white fangs that glimmered within the moonlight that burst through the tree leaves.
"M-Monster…" He said with a tremble in his voice which soon turned into hatred, daggers shooting out of his eyes. The only thoughts in his mind was ending this monster's existence, something that both Freya and Chara were not too fond of.
The human raised his gun and took it off of the safety. His hands were trembling so as soon as he took the first shot. The bullet flew past the female, grabbing hold of the tips of her hair. He missed but just barely. There was no hope that this being would win against someone that was armed.
She had no other choice but to run…
And so she did. Without taking another moment to let the hunter take another shot, she dashed in and out through trees, taking no time to look back to make sure that she had lost him or more so, she was far too terrified to do so. All Freya wanted now was to be back to safety. To be back with her family…
"Hey, hey! We can take him you know!" Chara tried to scream out however was stopped by a hand going over her mouth.
"Would you keep it down? Besides, I would love to see you try to take on a guy with a gun and unlike you, I'm not going to be the one responsible for manslaughter." She hissed out quietly to the voice in her head.
"Well, either way, we are both going to be killed no matter what world we are in. So might as well make up your mind on where you want to die…"
A thought began to provoke the teen's mind at that split moment. She didn't want to fight, and frankly she wasn't going to allow no human or monster to do so anytime soon.
Soon enough, there were no signs of light at the moment. She had lost the trail of the human that she had previously encountered. But was he still after her, or even yet, did he alert more hunters of her presence.
Her questions and fears were soon answered. Not one, not two but three lights began to reveal the location of potential hunters that were gathered in order to eliminate their target; her…
Freya's heart was pounding out of her chest, trickles of sweat running from her temples to her pale cheeks.
She remained behind the shrubbery, moving every so often in order to get away from them. Maybe it was for the best that she headed back to her 'home'. It was clear that she wasn't wanted here at all.
She's over there!
The voice called out, the bright light of one of the flashlights beaming directly on her. It blinded her for a split second although she didn't even hesitate to run away, despite being unable to see from the darkness.
Just by luck she got far enough to get out the range of the light before her impaired vision returned back to its proper state. Everything seemed so quiet then. Where was everyone? She turned her head. Only one light? Did the others give up? Highly unlikely…
There was something else out there, or someone, as per say, trying to save her.
As much as she was relieved about this fact, that was mainly her downfall. She didn't notice the figure stalking in the bushes, the warm barrel of the gun poking out from the shrubbery. He took another shot but this time, it didn't miss…
Blood streamed down the females leg as she found herself becoming unbalanced, causing her to fall off the small ledge and into a dirt crater. It took a moment to bring herself back together but once her vision cleared up, all she could see was a dark figure looming over her, reloading the one bullet that he had.
That was it, she was done for…
She couldn't run away and at point blank, attempting so would be suicide, even if she wasn't wounded. Her body froze, stiffened. It was as if time was travelling by ever so slowly, a way to torment her. In a sense, she couldn't tell if she wanted to die or not.
"Now… Any last words?"
That was when it hit her…
Her hand curled up into a fist, a redness developing on her knuckles.
"16 years ago, I was forced down into that world without a single clue on who I was… I need to ask… Who were my parents? What happened to them?"
The man paused for a moment. He became intrigued on why this being, this monster asked a question like that so willingly. It seemed that she did have a heart, however as most had come to realise, humans could be a heartless bunch as well.
A smirk crossed the man's face as he lowered his gun but only for a moment to come to terms with what he knew.
"I knew your parents well. They were a fine couple, always smiling and getting along with everyone. Shame though that we had to end their lives since they were tainted… Even your mother who was apparently one of us was killed for treason… In fact, the place where you are sitting right now is most likely the burial place of one of those monsters… And now that will be your own resting place…"
His voice became sinister at the last minute, the shocked expression that was left on the poor girl's face was about to be put to rest. She then took into consideration of one thing. Something that felt warm against her eyes and cheeks.
It was…
Tears?
The last time that she cried was during her childhood, even as a baby but at those times, those tears of sadness came from physical pain. This time, she could feel her own heart aching.
"Say good night, monster…"
Freya waited for the shot to be fired, hoping that it would be a quick painless death, rather than one where she could see her very own life slip away from reality. She closed her eyes tightly, the tears seemingly endless.
Bang…
The shot was fired, however Freya couldn't feel any pain, aside from the one in her leg from the humans first shot. And she wasn't dead either… So what happened?
She slowly opened her crimson eyes, her head turned to look upward.
"A-Asriel?" She mumbled to which brought a loving smile to the goat's face.
"Hey little sister..."
Asriel turned his head to the human, who looked more panicked than before. He tried to pull back his gun to take another shot but Asriel had a good hold of the barrel. It creaked to the point where it broke into pieces.
"Good night…" The goat said in a dark, murderous fashion, taking one slow step forward at a time, to which the male made a dash for it, just like the coward he was…
Asriel shook his head and glanced over to his sister, a look that was evident that he wasn't happy with her. It was obvious that she had some explaining to do…
Asriel brought the hybrid back to safety within Undertale, or so was proclaimed. It was unknown as to what Freya's punishment was going to be until it was too late…
She stood in the middle of a circle, in front being her own family that took her in, along with many of the residents of the Undertale, including Undyne, Papyrus and a space allocated to the deceased Sans. Just the thought of this demon within her could do something for the price of her own life. She couldn't bare it…
"You have cost us a lot of problems over the last couple of days both her and the surface world. I and your mother are relieved that you are still alive and well, however we have no other choice but to terminate the monster half of your soul…" Asgore said in a low, quiet tone.
The grabbed hold of Freya's attention. Terminate the monster half of her soul? Then that would mean taking out her human half as well. He was going to execute her…
Freya began to push herself back and away from the trident that Asgore held. This couldn't be happening… Sure, she went through a point in her life where her existence seemed pointless but the thought of death scared her. She wanted to live…
"It's okay my daughter, I will make this as painless as possible…" Asgore implied in a caring fashion. He didn't want to hurt anyone but for the safety of his kingdom, he had no other choice.
He struck the spear into Freya's stomach swiftly, forcing her off her feet and hanging in the air. Her eyes were practically bulging out of her head, her mouth gaping wide open whilst a river of blood poured out.
Finally, she got what she deserved. But wait…
"I-I… I don't want to die…" She grunted out in a struggle, coughing up more blood whilst fighting to stay conscious, to stay alive.
The spear went through her soul around half away, causing both sides to rigorously wiggle in order to keep whole. However that was not the case. The monster soul slowly began to deteriorate within her, the sound of Chara screaming in pain visible in her own mind. Freya wasn't dying, but Chara was…
Her determination began to fail her, every sign of a struggle and the life in her eyes slowly faded from existence.
Asgore had released the girl from the spears, dropping her down onto the hard ground carefully and gently. Everyone waited for a positive response to come from her, to which never came in a short space of time. This was unlikely to happen.
Time began to drag on and nothing was happening. The holes that subsided her body had disappeared but still no signs of life in her pale complexion.
"Freya…" Toriel whispered shakily. The motherly goat knelt down by the body, holding her close to her warm chest.
Soon enough, a miracle occurred. Whilst holding the limp body close to her, Toriel could faintly feel a heartbeat. The paleness in Freya's complexion changed so that her skin was a very light peach color which was presumed to be just like her mothers.
"Everyone, she's alive!" Toriel called out to alert everyone who was patiently waiting for the good news.
Hope slowly began to grow once again in the land of the Undertale, every set of eyes and ears directly placed onto the now human being. The silence was interrupted by an array of coughing that escaped the girl's lips, her breathing harsh and her eyes trying to force themselves open.
The warmth was something that she had known all her life. All she wanted to do was to see her mother's face once again as well as get answers on how she was still alive, even if she was weak and frail at that point in time.
"W-Wha- How?"
"Asriel told us that something was wrong… He could tell that you weren't yourself… As far as we could tell, the only answer was the first child who perished a while back…" Toriel explained, her smile saddened at the fact that she couldn't save that child, despite the fact that they ended up going down the path of evil.
"But don't worry, even if you are human now, you are still part of this family if you would like to return…" Asgore said. Considering how he was told about the humans who were trying to hunt her down, he couldn't allow her to leave to go back up to the surface, but he didn't want to do anything that would push her away.
The crowd waited eagerly for an answer, although it was clear that Freya had already made up her mind. She nodded her head in agreement to his offer of staying.
Even if she didn't have her birth parents by her side, she knew that they were up above, watching her, wishing for her to live her life as if she depended on it. Besides, even if they were gone, she still had her adopted family, at least she had people that she could call her friends.
At least she knew she had a place in the world of Undertale…
