Walking Through Memories

Frisk limps across the various connecting bridges as blue arrows fly through the sky. Arrows shoot past him and his breathing gets heavy as he tries to run. Arrows suddenly shoot up from the ground, and Frisk gasps, quickly getting around them. More continue to block his path and he falls down. He groans and pushes himself to his feet. As he stands, an arrow pierces his right shoulder. He cries out, falling to his hands and knees. Blood soaks his sweater around his wound, he looks at the blood-covered arrow sticking out of his body and he shudders.

Another arrow pierces his ankle Sans had just mended not even an hour before. The joined pain causes him to scream. He shakes, starting to crawl away. The arrows stop flying and he can hear heavy footsteps coming up behind him. He turns halfway and sees Undyne, clad in armor, coming towards him. She held her spear in hand. Frisk shakes his head, "No.. N-no.. Please.. U-Und-dyne.."

Undyne's eyes narrow beneath her helmet, "You know my name? Doesn't matter now. Either give up your soul willingly, or I'll tear it from your body with my spear!"

Frisk has no doubt she will, but he doesn't want to die, at least not yet. He shakes his head again, scooting backwards, "Un..dyne.. Please.."

Frisk is thankful for her armor covering her face. If he could see what he had done, he wouldn't stop her from killing him outright. Tears well in his eyes and a whimper escapes his mouth. He breathes her name again, as if it'll save him. He already knows what comes next. Undyne raises her spear and Frisk closes his eyes. The spear swings down, piercing right through Frisk's chest. Frisk screams, blood spurting from his mouth and back. Undyne pulls the spear back, and Frisk's soul goes with it. His body falls limp instantly and his final breath leaves his body.

Frisk slowly opens his eyes and he's lying in front of Sans's sentry station. Sans sits at the station, watching him. Frisk groans and sits up slowly, looking around. Frisk's vision begins to clear and he sighs, "I never died there before.."

"Undyne catch 'ya?" Sans asks.

Frisk looks in his direction, but stares at the station itself as he addresses Sans, "Yeah, she was throwing spears at me on the bridges and I wasn't fast enough to get away from them with my ankle all messed up."

"Maybe you should hide out and let it heal for a few days before trying to escape her?" Sans offers.

Frisk sighs, "Maybe.."

"Couldn't hurt." Sans shrugs.

"Maybe.." Frisk repeats.

"Come on," Sans stands, "You can hang with Papyrus and I."

"That's nice and all, but.. I should get going." Frisk stands slowly, wobbling.

"Are you sure?" Sans looks a little worried, "Is your ankle well enough for it?"

"I'll be fine." Frisk assures.

Frisk walks deeper into Waterfall, limping lightly. He looks around, the sounds of lapping water calming his nerves. He sees monsters about and he goes out of his way to completely avoid them, muttering, "Spare by staying away.. That's the easiest.."

He takes in a deep breath and keeps walking. After awhile, comes to the statue in the rain. He walks over to it and sighs softly. He continues down the corridor until he comes to a room that has a bucket of umbrellas. He takes one of them and them goes back to the statue. He smiles and places the umbrella in the statue so it is shielded from the rain. He steps back as a music box inside the statue begins to play. Frisk stands there and hums along. He stands there for a few minutes with his eyes closed, just humming along to the tune the music box plays.

He sighs again and continues back down the corridor, a small smile still on his lips. He can still hear the music play as he grabs another umbrella and heads out into the part of the Underground where rain water pours through the ceiling, creating an everlasting rain shower. After a few minutes, he meets up with Monster Kid. The little monster runs up to him, "You have an umbrella, we can go find Undyne together!"

Frisk smiles at him, but he looks just above the kid's head, "Yeah, that'll be cool."

"So cool!" the Monster Kid agrees.

After a few minutes of silence, the Monster Kid speaks, "Man, Undyne is so cool! You know she's never lost a fight?"

The image of Undyne melting jolts Frisk's mind. He shudders, "Y-you don't say..?"

"I do!" Monster Kid replies, "I'd be super scared if I was a human, haha!"

They walk a few more feet and Monster Kid stops y an Echo Flower. Frisk turns and looks back when he realizes the little monster isn't following. Monster Kid stares at the flower wistfully, "One time at school we had to take care of flowers. The King visited to show us how and he ended up teaching us about responsibility.. Heh, he's so smart and silly. He even sang a song to help us remember how to take care of a flower so it will bloom right."

Frisk looks away, King Asgore.. I know he won't allow me to show mercy.. What will I do then..?

Monster Kid keeps talking, "Yo, wouldn't it be so awesome if Undyne came to school! She'd beat up the teachers! Wait, she wouldn't do that. She'd never hurt innocent people. She's just too cool to do that!"

Frisk flinches, feeling the phantom pain of Undyne's spear being stabbed through his chest. They keep walking and they can see the castle in the distance. The sight amazes Frisk; with all the sparkling gems around, and the glow the castle gives off, it's beautiful. Monster Kid stands beside Frisk and gazes at the castle, too, "Isn't it great? That's where the King lives. He's so cool, getting to live in a cool place like that!"

Frisk chuckles, a tear sliding down his face, "King Asgore is the coolest.."
