Sans sighed, his feet shuffling through the dirt as he walked through the empty park. It'd been abandoned a while ago. Great for quiet and away from people. He went there a lot when he was gonna have a breakdown. It always helped him.

Not now though.

He'd let his guard down. Everything was going to shit and he couldn't stop it this time.. Asgore was probably on the verge of death, Frisk was basically alive but dead, they were gonna be sent back underground and his ex probably hated him. Could his life get any worse..? It's bad enough he actually took Chara's promise for a good future. He was gonna enroll Papyrus in school, he was going to go to college, get a degree, be a scientist. He was gonna live a normal life with his little brother. Grow old and die a happy life. But of course nothing ever worked out in his favor.

He could feel himself begin to break down on the spot. Tears started to fill in his eye-sockets and he sighed deeply. He was not gonna cry here.. not right now. Please.. not right now.. rustle rustle his head shot up as he heard something. The bushes were moving before a white rabbit. A rabbit as white as snow, popped out of the bushes. It's color was illuminating and looked soft. "hey there bud." Sans said, sticking out his hand only for the rabbit to sniff and nibble on as sans picked it up, petting it.

"soft. just as i suspected."

The rabbit quickly hopped down. Turning it's head back at Sans then walking further into the park. "you..want me to follow? ok." Sans got up, then proceeded to follow the rabbit. Its ears bounced in rhythm with its tail as it continued to walk. Sans didn't realize it till he looked up and saw that he was in the forest. He must've walked for about 10 minutes actually. It was quiet. To quiet. "hey, pal. it was nice walkin' with ya but, I gotta get back home now." Sans began to walk back but,— wait a second.. didn't he already pass this tree? He remembers the lake but where was the bush from where he came? He didn't like not being able to realize where he was walking... so he traveled back to the area where he thought the rabbit was.

It was gone though.

Okay, this was fine. Maybe he'd just teleport..

He couldn't teleport.. it wasn't working.. what the hell..? Okay.. maybe he'd just wait till morning then. It's easier to see in the morning.. besides, he was tired. At least he thought we was. Sniffle sniffle.. what the...? Was that.l crying? Why was someone crying..? He walked to where the sound was, calling out to the voice. "hello? i can hear ya cryin' are you okay?"

The voice spoke up softly, "Sans..?"

The person traveled out of the bushes, her peachy hair flowing behind her as it did always. Her eyes were still dull and her skin was still pale. Her cheeks were red and her eyes were puffy. Her same sweater dress was dirty and a bit torn at the edges. He was just getting over this girl and she'd come back and hit him right in the face like a train-wreck..

Atleast.. he thought she looked the same till she was completely in front of him. Something wasn't right.. but he couldn't put his finger on it right now. She was scared and alone and that was all that was on his mind right now. "a-are.. you okay..?" He said in a concerning tone as he walked up to her. She was shaking. She collapsed in his arms. From fear maybe. It was dark, she was lost, she looked sick, a cold maybe.

She started to cry, "I'm..I'm  sorry..so sorry.." she cried, gripping onto his jacket tightly. "Esmé—"

"I-I still love you..!" She shouted, crying her eyes out as she clinged to him. She didn't wanna let go. Sans was speechless.. all he could do was hug her back tightly as well, and whispered, "sorry.. i..— someone's waiting for me." He said before letting go of her.

As he was about to walk away, he felt a strong grip on his sleeve, only to turn around and see Esmé, her head turned to the ground, and her fist clenched. "let go." He said sternly and her arm dropped limp. He walked away, putting his hood on his head and stuffing his hands in his pockets.

~~~~~~~~~

Chara was torn. Between working and barely eating, along with Asgore and Frisk both unconscious, what was she supposed to do..? She was just girl..

She sighed, rubbing her forehead. Before she knew it her sighs turned into snores and she'd dozed off to sleep.

Gasp

It was dark. Was she back in this hellspawn of darkness?! Ugh! She was sick of this place! It was the figure again. That same smile cutting into her soul and those eyes staring her down. It looked like a child. Its hands were behind its back and it had short, neck length hair. "Uhm.. y'know.. fuck it. I'm sick of running from you." Chara started walking closer to it. It's face still in that same smile, "who are you anyways?! Everytime I get here, you're here to and it's driving me insane!" She growled only to be brought back with a laugh.

"Im you." They simply answered. Their voice was high but not to high. It was still dark, but they could see the outline still. They started to walk closer to her as well, "you're me. Just, more clueless. I'm the you who didn't let anyone boss you around. I'm the better one. I'm the one who was in control." Vines came out of the ground than wrapped out its arm— well.. her arm. And Flowey's stupid little head popped out of the ground with it. "I'm the you who murdered countless people and wouldn't feel bad about it." Chara felt sick to her stomach as she backed up, only to slip and fall into the water that now stuck to her hands like goo. No, blood.

A knife appeared in her hand as she walked closer to Chara, getting on her knees in front of her. She cupped one side of her face, looking her in the eyes. All Chara saw was a sadistic killer that didn't care. That couldn't be her. It couldn't be. The other Chara giggled, as she plunged her knife into a Chara's chest, earning a loud scream of pain from her. "But it is you." She got close to her ear, stabbing her again, only this time in the chest, "and you can't deny it." She whispered.

Gasp.

She was alive. She checked her stomach. No scars, no blood.. it was just a dream....

Sigh

"Something isn't right.."
