Chapter 22: We're not done

After that whole 'fight for literally no reason we all decide to just go back to Sans' to decide what's next. "I am so tired!" Frisk whines and lands face first onto the sofa. I giggle and sit down next to them as everyone else steps inside. Techablook also happens to be back and floating next to his cousin. "so, do you both still plan on leaving?" Sans questions while stuffing his hands into his pockets. "Well, I still want Connor to continue my training...When she's all healed up from the fight, of course." I say sheepishly and rub the back of my neck. "Well you guys are welcome to stay at my place." Aeri pipes in and Sans just rolls his eyes. "or my place," Sans says after and smiles playfully shoving Aeri. Frisk shoots up with a bright size and motions me to lean down towards them, in which I do. "What about a sleepover?" Frisk whispers and I nod and pull away. "Frisk was wondering if we could all have a sleepover!" I smile gently a put a gentle hand on their head. The guys all look at eachother and Napstablook nods yes with a timid smile. Techablook does the same but with a confident smile. Aeri shrugs and looks towards Sans. "Why not?" He smiles. Frisk looks up at me and we both smile at eachother.
"Hey, TB, did you to text Tasgore that we found Kit..?" Napstablook speaks up as we all lie on the floor with pillows and blankets. Techablook's eyes widen and he lies his head in a pillow mumbling a "no..". Napstablook just sighs and takes out his phone and flies to the kitchen, assuming to make a call. I turn my head and look at Napstablook, "Tasgore..? Is she looking for me?" I ask and Techablook simply nods and a knock is heard at the door. Then Napstablook flues out of the kitchen holding his phone. "Tasgore's here." He states simply and opens the door. Frisk, Aeri and I shiver at the burst of cold air and snow being blown inside the house. Napstablook floats to the side and the figure steps in and pulls off the hood of their cloak and shaking their head, snow and ice falling from their hair. They turn their head up and it is Tasgore! "So, what's been up with you, Kitty?" Tasgore smiles down at me.

After the long night of telling Tas what's been going on lately she smiles and nods. "Sounds like you've had quite the adventure!" Tasgore smiles and ruffles my hair. Frisk even managed to stay up and listen to my story telling, all with an interested smile. "So this Connor girl is going to help you seperate or.. heal these 2 monsters that saved you form freezing to death..?". I nod. "Yes, and I plan to help them as soon as Connor is awake." I nod seriously and Frisk just looks up at me with an unreadable expression. "Well, I'd be happy to accumpany you and Frisk if you guys were going to check up on her soon!" Tasgore smiles and stands up. I smile gratefully and stand up. "You don't have to come with us if you don't want to Frisk." I say gently and look down at them. The nod, understanding but grab my hand. "Alright, let's go before everyone else wakes up!" Tasgore snickers and quietly leads Frisk and I out toward Waterfall.
I don't know how Tas knew her way around Waterfall so well but I still took the lead once we neared Connor's cave. I place the lily pads down onto the water and they bloom into sturdy flowers and we all walk across near the outside of Connor's cave. "HELLO!?" Tasgore yells as her voice booms through the cave. I quickly cover her mouth and Frisk just giggles. We all go silent once we hear a soft grunt and Connor steps out slowly. She has bandages wrapping her hands around the skull part of her head. Connor gives me a tired and confused glance. "Kit..? What are you doing here..?" She asks groggily and rubs her non covered eye tiredly. "S-sorry if TASGORE here woke you up. I just wanted to see if you were okay yet to teach me Soul Seperation, but if you aren't then that's fine!" I say gently. Connor smiles and puts a hand up against the wall of the cave and leaning on it for support. "No, I'll teach you. I can handle it." Connor says it so confidently but her physical state says otherwise. "Alright," I say unsure, "but if you feel weak or something just tell me and we'll bring a straight back home. Both Tasgore and Frisk nod in agreement. "Alright, let's go then!" Tasgore says and wraps Connor's arm around hers and starts walking.
I lead Tas, Frisk, and Connor near the place where I had first found Tami and Lin but not too close to the cave to the point where they would get scared. "Alright just set me down here," Connor states and Tasgore sets her down on a large rock where she crosses her legs and looks at me. "Okay, just so you know, I've only read books about this.. I've never really achieved it myself cause' I've never really been in a situation like this.." Connor explains and I nod understanding. As long as she's not completely clueless then I'll hopefully do okay. "Okay, first you put your arms out in front of you, in the direction of the souls being seperated. You then shut you eyes and grab onto the 2 subjects souls." Connor says. "Not literally right?" I say a little concerned. Connor says a simple, "Metaphorically." And continues. "Once you have the souls you must summon magic on your arms to assist you in prying the souls apart." I nod understanding but she starts again. "But, this task is not as easy as it sounds and in some cases the souls can steal the magic of the person trying to seperate then or cevearly sever or injure the magic floe through the body," Connor finishes seriously and looks toward me. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Connor asks. I nod a yes, "Of course, I may not know how long they've been like this and I may known them for long but I will help them to the best of my capability. " I say seriously and my soul appears and glows  vibrant purples and oranges. "Alright," Connor says. "I want to do this alone, if you guys don't mind." I say gently and they nod in understanding. Tasgore, Connor and Frisk turn to leave but I hesitate and stop them. "Wait!" I say. They stop and turn to me before I run and hug them. "Thanks guys," I say and pull away. I look at them and pull away, "Wish me luck." I say quietly before walking into the cave.
I enter the cave and the sun is starting to rise. Light pours into the cave, even into the darkest corners of it. I see Tami and Lin as clear as day and they smile and crawl towards me and make joyful yet off jumbles of animal noises. "I'm back guys, like I promised." I smile and they crawl closer as I sit down in front of them. "Okay, I'm.. I'm going to seperate you guys." They shut their eyes and so do I. I hold my hands out in front of me and at first see nothing but then two glowing monster souls appear from the darkness, one pink and the other blue. I summon my magic and I can see my hands burning a bright purple and I grab the souls and try pulling them as much as possible. Connor never said this would be easy and I know it won't be. I tug harder and harder but they just won't budge. The right fire hand starts blazing with orange and purple flames and the hand's form starts to waver. 'N-no.. come on.. I have to help them..!" I grit my teeth hard and pull harder but to no avail. I'm gritting my teeth so hard I think they may shatter. I start sweating and shut my eyes tightly but I start feeling weaker, like the magic is being taken. My eyes shoot open. Only now do I hear the painful and terrified cries as Tami and Lin's form becomes disfigured and glitching as if it was a buggy game. My left eye flicks purple for a moment but the light flicks out and the magic on my arms fade and I drop back onto the cave floor with a thud. Lin and Tami's form returns to normal and I grip my soul tightly. 'What happend..?'
