(Frisk's p.o.v)

I slowly walked out of the restaurant not bothering to talk anyone. Chara was silent as she followed me.

I smiled slightly at the fountain with Mettaton on it spilling water all over the carpet. But it didn't last long.

...lies...they're all lies... lies lies lies... they all hate me...

I turned left and walked up to the hand receptionist.

"Yes, we know. The elevator for the city is NOT working. Because if this incident, rooms are running at a special rate! 200g a room. Interested?"

I nodded and gave over the money.

"Fabulous! We'll escort you to your room!"

We walked down past the fountain, down the hall and stopped at the second door.

I walked in to find a large room primarily taken up by the bed, which had a red cover and one small pillow at the top, a Mettaton shaped lamp to the left, a Mettaton shaped perfume to the right, and a poster with Mettaton in the night sky. There was also a bathroom off to the side.

I closed the door and fell back on the bed, Chara just stood and watched from the doorway.

"So...", I started, "Anyone can see you?"

"Yes. If I so choose." She replied back.

"And... how does that work?"

She paused for a second before walking over to the bed and sitting on the floor. I decided to sit up on the bed too.

"Your determination woke me up. In a way, you've given me some of your soul. While, yes being alive, I'm just a spirit connected to your soul. Meaning that I can feel things that you feel, while also having feelings for myself, unlike Asriel." She says staring at the yellow checkered floor.

"When we first when through the ruins, it was so weird to be 'alive' again. But I was scared, I didn't know what was going on, so I followed you while also trying to hide. A froggit saw me and I freaked out, but then it looked confused, like I had disappeared." She looked up at me, and with a sigh, disappeared.

But I could still hear her voice, "I realised I could choose who sees", she then appeared again, but her mouth was moving with no words coming out. I assumed she was saying something along the lines of choosing who can hear her.

"See." She said smiling.

"Okay, I guess that makes sense."

I slowly got off the bed. "Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I just didn't think it was important." Chara said also getting up.

I smiled back at her, "I really don't care, I was just a little confused. I'm just gonna go freshen up." I said as I walked over to the bathroom and closed the door.

The bathroom had the same red and yellow theme of the bedroom, except instead of checkered carpet, they were tiles. The main sink was red with a giant mirror hanging over. The toilet and shower stall were also red with Mettaton shaped products in the shower. There was also a yellow bath robe hanging up behind the door.

I slowly went to take off my tattered sweater and dropped it to the ground in shock. I knew I had scars on my body, but this!

Deep, permanent scars covered my body. They healed skin shone slightly in the light. I touched one carefully and winced slightly, like they weren't even healed!

To make matters worse, I also had large burns everywhere!

I stood there shocked. I looked like the monster I was. Large, ugly tears fell down my face. I would be stuck like this forever, stuck with these scars and burns forever. I will be reminded for the sins I committed.

After I quick shower that made me feel much fresher than before, I put on the bathrobe. I then filled the sink with water and put in some of the soap I put on earlier. When the sink was full of bubbles and water, I attempted to clean my clothes one at a time.

After a little while I was able to get out the rest of the dry blood and hopefully the sweat smell. I hung my clothes on the towel rack and hoped that they would dry quickly.

I found a brush in the draw shaped like guess who and started to brush the mess I called hair. When done, I looked in the mirror and almost smiled, before I again saw the monster I truly was.

I stepped out of the bathroom to see that Chara was no where to be found. Maybe she went to explore, or maybe she was right next to me, who knows?

I sat down on the side of the bed and attempted to take off the lid of the perfume, but the cap is so comically large I couldn't open it.

Giving up, I slid under the soft covers of the giant bed and rested my head on the pillow. After blinking a couple of times, I gave into the exhaustion that had been weighing me down. 

...SLASH...Toriel dead...SLASH...Papyrus dead...SLASH...Undyne dead...SLASH... dead...dead... dead...Sans is standing there... eye flaming...I go to attack... curiosity controlling me...I miss...I go to attack again...I miss...I go to attack... SLASH...Sans fell to the ground... I ran to kneel beside him... what have I done..."I forgive you" he said, his voice weak... he smiled as he turned to dust in my arms...

I woke up with a jump, tears started to fall down my face.

"Frisk? What's wrong? Is it another nightmare?" Chara asked as she looked over at me worried.

I nodded as I wiped off the tears.

Chara sighed before saying, "Look, you have to get some sleep. Just lie back down and try. Please."

Again, I nodded and curled back into a little ball under the covers. I thought of me killing Sans and dug my nails into my arms that were hugging me.

What kind of a monster could do something like that?

...me. I could.

And with that, I felt sleep come over me again.

...I knocked on the skeleton brother's door... I was excited... the door opened to find it was Undyne that opened it... "Punk, you better come in"... she seemed mad...I walked in to see not just the two brothers, but Alphys, Mettaton, and Toriel there too... "Sans had just told us something quite interesting" Toriel said in a not so happy tone... "Oh?" I said slightly worried... "He told us, that you killed us all!"... with a blink of an eye, they all had their weapons out... they all started to shout words of hate and disappointment at me... I turned away... guilt consuming me... but there was Asriel... "I thought we were friends." He said in the scariest, most hurt tone I had ever heard...

I woke up, crying yet again. But this time it was pitch black, was I still dreaming? I tried to move around, it felt safe, comfortable and warm. I began to crawl around trying to find an exit in this cage of comfort.

I kept crawling forward until suddenly I fell off! I blinked at the ceiling a couple of times until I realised I was on the floor. I must have fallen off the bed.

"Frisk!?" Chara exclaimed suddenly.

Realising the bathrobe had fallen off slightly, I fixed it up and then untangled myself from the blankets.

I stood up and looked at Chara, and could've sworn she was blushing, but I thought nothing of it.

"I'm can't sleep. I'm not sleeping. I don't need sleep anyway, I'm fine."

Chara snapped out of her stunned reaction and realised what I said as I was walking into the bathroom.

"What!? No, Frisk, that's stupid. You can't be seri-" I closed the door in her face, but if course she continued to talk through it. "Humans need sleep. Is it the nightmares keeping you up. Whatever the case, you still need to sleep."

I grabbed my damp clothes and put them on quickly without looking in the mirror. I fell over a couple of times trying to put my shoes on standing up, but eventually I got them back on. I brushed my hair down quickly with my hands, convinced I looked like a mess.

I opened the door smiling to see Chara looking annoyed, and still slightly flustered.

"Who knows why I can't sleep, but it doesn't matter cause I just have to going with my journey. Plus someone has to have coffee around here somewhere. You know what, I bet Burgerpants will have something like that!"

And without another glance at Chara, I left the room and headed over to the doors with a MTT burger sign over it.

I stepped inside and saw Burgerpants with his empty smile.

"Welcome to the MTT-Brand Burger Emporium, home of the Glamburger. Sparkle up your day (TM)."

"Hey, um. I was wondering if there is anything I can get that would help wake me up?" I said awkwardly not knowing whether this would work or not.

His eyes shifted around nervously, until he lit a cigarette and said, "I like you little buddy, straight to the point."

He dug around in some shelves until he found two orange bottles. "This stuff gets me through these shifts."

He gave one to me and then took a sip of his own.

I took a small sip of the drink, only to taste something familiar to coffee.

"Thank you, um... how much?"

"For you little buddy, I'll give it to you for free. You just gotta buy something else, otherwise my boss will kill me."

I decided to buy a Glamburger with the small amount of G I had left.

"SO, I wanted to be an actor." I sat and talked with Burgerpants until I finished my 'coffee'. It was nice to be able to just laugh with someone without guilt affecting me.

When I was finished, I thanked him and gave him the sweetest smile I could.

"Any time, little buddy."

I left the MTT resort and stepped out, much more awake than before, into the large bridge between it and the core. I was shivering slightly from my wet clothes. I could see two figures up ahead, I couldn't make them out, but they went into the core.

* Ring...

I answered my phone and heard Alphys' voice.

"Huh? Who are they? N-nobody else is s-supposed to be here... Oh well! We can't worry about that now!

* Click...

Even though I knew my way through the Core, I followed Alphys introductions. But I could feel her getting more and more stressed as she tried to help, until she got so confused she had to go.

I touched the save point there, the air filled with the smell of the ozone filled me with determination. But, I don't know how determined I actually feel.

Now I'm trying to walk down this path to get to a button that will let me pass, but there are so many monsters here I'm struggling to win.

I'm trying to spare a Knight Knight and a Madjick, but I don't think I can.  I'm only on 5HP and I'm out of food.

I've spared the Madjick, but I've still got the Knight Knight to go. I tried to sing an old lullaby. Knight Knight started to look sleepy... He started to attack me by drawing spears from the ground and above. I tried dodging them best I could, but with a blink of an eye, I felt an attack hit me as I slowly faded to darkness.

I was in a weird dark room. I could hear strange music playing and a voice saying, "You cannot give up just yet... Frisk! Stay determined..."

I opened my eyes to be back at the save point.

"Frisk, are you okay?" Chara asked looking worried.

I smiled at her slightly, "Of course!"

I started to wander through the Core again.

"Hey Chara, how does save points work?"

"Oh! Well, obviously it's got to do with your determination."

"Yeah, I got that. But how does it bring me back from the dead."

"To be honest, I don't really know. I've always thought of it like this though. You know how Alphys can inject monsters with 'Determination'?"

I nodded as I listened to her talk.

"Well, I've always thought save points were like that. You always realise something that makes you feel determined, and it's like it injects you with a boost of 'Determination'. When you die, your soul remembers this boost you got and takes you back there." Chara said looking at me, before turning away looking nervous.

"I mean, that's just what I think..."

I smiled at her sweetly, "That actually makes a lot of sense, thanks!"

She liked kind of stunned, before she faded away. Then it was just me wandering the electronic halls of the core.

~☆~ A while later ~☆~

I did it! I made it to the button and pushed it across. I walked back through all the pathways, saved, and walked back to the elevator. I rode in it quickly and walked out.

I went to touch another save point. I looked over at the door, behind it must be the elevator to the King's castle. I was filled with determination.

Taking a deep breath, I walked though the doorway.

Gee wiz, did I dance my ass off with Mettaton. Now that was a performance. I forgot how fun it was. I posed so dramatically, I think Mettaton himself was impressed. And the music! God it was amazing!

Sadly, of course, Mettaton's batteries ran out. Alphys came rushing in.

"I... I managed to open the lock! Are you two... Oh my God. Mettaton!" She ran over extremely worried.

"Mettaton, are you..." She sighed in relief, "... thank GOD, it's just the batteries. Mettaton, if you were gone I would have... I would have..."

She chucked nervously, "I m-mean, hey. It's n-no problem, you know? He's just a robot, if you messed it up, I c-could always... J-just build another. Why don't you go on ahead."

I walked around Alphys and Mettaton and walked towards the door, looking back one last time. Thank god he's just a robot, right?

I walked out feeling kind of sick. I've been to Mettaton's house, it's obvious he's not just a robot.

And I killed him in just one hit.

I heard the pitter patter of feet and turned around to see Alphys standing there.

"S... Sorry about that!! L-let's k-keep going!"

I smiled and started walking forward.

"S-so you're about to meet Asgore, huh?" I heard Alphys say behind me. "You must be... Y-you must be... Pr-pretty excited about all that, huh?"

"Uhh, y-yeah, sure." I said.

"You'll f-f-finally... You'll finally get to go home!"

I could hear she was trying to be happy for me, but... I know how she actually feels.

I walked over to the elevator and pressed the button. The doors opened.

"W... Wait!"

I turned around.

"I mean, um... I... I was just going to... um... Say goodbye, and..." Alphys looked at me nervously, before sighing and turning away.

"I can't take this anymore. I... I lied to you. A human soul isn't strong enough to cross the barrier alone. It takes at least a human soul... And a monster soul."

Sighing again, she turned back to me, "If you want to go home... You'll have to take his soul. You'll have to kill Asgore."

The realisation hit me. I promised I'd never kill another monster, but... How else do I fight Asgore. That was how I got our happy ending last time. What do I do now?

Alphys turned around and went to walk away, "I'm sorry."

"Alphys wait!", I said reaching out my hand... But she was already gone.

Anger filled me. "God DAMMIT!!" I yelled punching the wall.

"Whoa, Frisk. Calm down!" Chara said as she appeared beside me.

I turned to her and yelled, "NO! NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN. I RUINED EVERYONE'S HAPPY ENDING. EVERYONE'S!! ALL BECAUSE I WAS FUCKING CURIOUS." Taking a shaky breath as tears came to me eyes. "W... What if I can't save them? What if I can't do it again? What then Chara? What then?"

Chara looked at me sad and worried, "You can save them. You just have to stay determined!"

I looked away, dread and uncertainty taking control, "I don't know how much determination I have left."

I stepped into the elevator and pressed one of the buttons. I just stood there waiting, listening to the soft hum of the moving elevator. Until finally, the doors opened.

I walked along the slim path, looking out on the grey buildings I'll never get to explore, until I got to New Home.

I stepped inside and instantly missed Toriel. She's already mad at me at the moment, how much would she hate me if I told her what I actually did.

I slowly explored the house, picking up the keys and listening to Chara's and Asriel's story.

I soon came to their bedroom. There, on the ground, was two presents. The closest one had a golden heart shaped locket. I picked it up and put it on.

"That's Asriel's..." Chara said softly. I turned around to see her. She put her hand on her chest under her shirt and pulled out an identical locket. "I was buried with mine."

"I'm so sorry for what happend to you and Asriel. It's heartbreaking."

"Yeah, well...", she looked up at me trying to smile, "At least I'm just stuck with you!"

I smiled slightly as well, before I went over to the second present. I slowly undid the red ribbon and took off the white lid. Inside was a worn dagger.

A part of me wanted to grab it, wanted to finish the job.

I quickly slammed the lid back on.

"Frisk... what are yo-"

I stood up and quickly left the room. I wanted to burn that little box. Burn the knife I tried to kill Sans with. Burn up my past!

...but I can't.

Chara ran out, but more monsters were already talking to me. After they finished, she did not look impressed.

"Frisk, all you have is a stick. You are going to DIE with that!!"

"I'm not killing anymore monsters." I said stubbornly.

Chara was done. She was fed up with all of this, so instead of getting mad and telling me to go back and get the knife of nightmares, she just sighed angrily and mumbled, "...fine..."

I looked through Asgore's room slightly, before passing a mirror. Even though it had only been a little over an hour since I'd looked in the mirror, I was still a little shocked to see what I'd become.

My short brown hair, messy and sticking up everywhere. My innocent looking face, had small scars, dark, baggy eyes, and a bandaid that was falling off. My blue and purple sweater, absolutely ruined, not to mention still a little damp.

"Despite everything, it's still you." Chara says beside me.

When I first heard this, I was hopeful. No matter what happens. No matter what I do. I'm still me! Now I'm just reminded that no matter what, my sins will live with me forever.

"Yippy." I said sarcastically as I walked away.

With both keys now, I unlocked the chain and walked down the stairs.

I continued to walk as the monsters told me Chara's and Asriel's tragic. When we got to the end of the path, Chara was trying to hide the fact the she was crying.

I wanted to give some words of comfort, but nothing came to mind. So I just said something stupid like, "If I could touch you, I would be hugging you so hard right now."

She laughed and sniffled before mumbling, "Shut up."

I smiled as well, but it soon wiped off my face as I looked in through the doorway.

I could see the golden light, the save point. How many times did I wake up there.

I could feel my heart start to race.

How many times did I die in there?

My hands started to shake and get sweaty.

How many times did anger and curiosity control me?

It was getting hard to breath, like something was closing up on my lungs.

How many nightmares have been made from this hall?

"...Frisk...?"

I turned away, "I-I... I need to go get more food."

"What!? But-"

I turned to Chara while walking backwards towards the elevator, trying not to be sick.

"Plus, I haven't even seen Catty and Bratty yet!" I said trying to seem normal.

I pressed the button and the elevator doors opened, we both stepped into the elevator, Chara still skeptical.

My breathing started to calm down and my body started to stop shaking as we traveled away from that hellish hall.

~☆~

YES!! I'm done! This took more than 4 hours to write, and hasn't even edited yet. Not to mention, it's over 3000 (almost 4000 now) words!

But you guys deserve it, because I never upload. I'm really sorry. Online school is the worst, it's taken away the little energy I had. But here's a chapter for you guys anyway!

I've found that I actually like writing in  Sans' p.o.v more, and it ends up coming together better as well. But what do you guys prefer? Sans or Frisk?

Also I really hope you actually like this chapter. I know it's long, but hopefully it's still entertaining!

I have another random question as well, who is your least favorite Undertale character?

Honestly mine would be Asgore, simply because we never actually get to become proper friends with him. Please don't hate me!!

I would love any constructive criticism, I know I can do better.

I also hope that you are staying safe and healthy in the dreadful time.

Take care of yourself, sincerely me!!
