Megalomaniac

   Being alone all your life is not easy, much less surviving. Frisk knows how it feels to walk with no one to nowhere, to sleep alone in the middle of nowhere and to survive alone without others watching your back, But still she tried because the other people she passes by everyday fills her with determination. Not just determination but also hope, if her mind and heart was feeling up to it.

   Frisk, which was her name. A word she first saw when her mind can understand everything that is around her, well what’s left of it anyways. Coming from a destroyed village wasn’t as surprising anymore as it used to be in movies. She had to struggle her way out of that village and move to somewhere else that doesn’t have bullet shells, burnt bodies, explosion debris and murderers.

   Having to work so hard, she finally found herself in this city called Undertale. People was nice and Kind to others, well almost all of them. Frisk walked around the city for days, exploring and also gathering information about the whole place. “Hey kid! Are you new here?” asked a weird small man wearing a yellow jacket and green pants.

   “Uh yes?” He smiled at frisk and motioned for her to come closer. “Are you lost? Where are your parents? Home?” he asked. “No, don’t have one and don’t have one either” Answered frisk. “If you don’t have nowhere to go I can give you a place to live for now” He kept smiling the whole time. Frisk stared at the man’s eyes for a whole minute and shivered, something’s not right about this man.

   “ah no I’ll just be on my way, thank you for the offer though” Frisk turned around and took a step away from the man only to gasp after the same man grabbed her arm and spun her around, hard. “Look I’m doing you a favor here so stop your nagging and follow me” Frisk resisted, The man tried to pull her again but this time with as much force for pulling a car. “Let go of me dude!” He tugged and pulled, frisk just tried not to be pulled to some dark alley and get raped.

“Hey stop pulling!” To frisk’s surprise the man got hit by an airborne flower pot and fell to the ground face first. Frisk looked to the direction where the flower pot came from and saw a big lady. “Child are you alright?” she asked worriedly, both her brows pointing up and her eyes were teary.

   “Yes, thank you”

   She sighed and wiped her tears off “I’m glad, I heard you have nowhere to go. If you’d like you can stay the night in our house” Another offer, but this one has a nice feel to it. “I’m sorry, my name’s toriel” She introduced herself. “Frisk, and yes if you’d allow me” Toriel just smiled and held Frisk’s hands as they went to take a taxi to her house.

   “Asgore! Come down here quick!” Toriel shouted once they both entered the house. Another man supposedly name Asgore peeked from the room. “Hi, I’m Asgore Dreemurr. Toriel’s husband” HE introduced himself nicely. “Nice to meet you sir, Frisk. Your wife saved me from a man who tried to pull me to a dark alley and possibly rape me”

   The partners exchanged glances before smiling awkwardly “You seem calm about that child” Asgore said kneeling to level his face with mine. “Trust me sir I’ve been to worse,” Answered frisk. “Well it’s almost night so I’ll go prepare some dinner. Tell Asriel to give our child here some company” Toriel instructed as she went to the kitchen.

“Sit Frisk,” said Asgore as he headed upstairs. Frisk heard some knocking from upstairs and a little noise. Then she heard footsteps and possible argument on the stairs.

Asgore came down with a small version of him and toriel. Frisk stood up and handed him her hand which he gladly took and shook. “I’m Asriel, I heard Mom saved another child so I went down to greet them” He said with a combination of Toriel’s voice and Asgore’s which is extremely nice and cuddly. “Frisk, thank you for having me here” Frisk smiled. “I’ll just go buy some ingredients, Asriel don’t make any trouble”

Asriel reached for the remote and turned the TV on. He then scrolled through channels and stopped on Star movies. “Wanna watch a movie?” he asked. “Uhmm sure, Civil wars?” his eyes immediately glistened at the mention of Captain America Civil wars. “You know that movie!? Cool! You’re the only one who’s maybe my age that’s interested in it, let’s watch it” He opened Netflix and we both watched Civil wars together.

   Hours passed and Asgore came back with bags upon bags of food, looks like were having a buffet tonight, hopefully not. “Where’s Chara?” Asked Toriel as she came out of the kitchen with a whole pot of Mushroom stew. “Upstairs playing video games” Asgore answered. “Kindly call her down here Asriel” he complied and left his seat to call Chara.

   “Speaking of Chara, you look a lot like her” said Toriel with a wide smile on her face. “Chara?”   “Our adopted daughter, she’s about your age and like you she was homeless”. Frisk heard another pair of footsteps walking down the stairs, might be Asriel and this Chara. “Chara greet out guest here”

   So that’s Chara, she does look a lot like Frisk like an exact copy of her if it weren’t for her Lime yellow and green sweater which counters Frisk’s pink and blue sweater. “Nice to meet you-“

“Not interested” Chara barked. Well that was rude…”My child please be nice to our guest, her name’s Frisk” Toriel introduced frisk as she froze there on the other side of the table. Somehow the way Chara responded feels Frightening and sickly familiar. She froze as Chara took the seat next to her, her body was shaking and her tear sac was having a hard time containing those Tears as it made its way to her eyes.

   “Frisk? What’s wrong?” Toriel asked worriedly as she bolted from her seat then to Frisk, The other’s followed toriel with their eyes and found its way to frisk who was staring blankly at both her hands as she held a small knife (The dull kind) and shaking furiously.

   “I-I don’t know, I don’t….know” Her mind was aching, her guts were knotting and she feels like puking her whole blood out as a last resort to living. Tears fell down her other eye as she kept staring at the knife on her other hand. “Frisk? Hey buddy what’s wrong?” Asriel too bolted from his seat and came to comfort Frisk. “Hey look just because I treated you that way doesn’t mean you could cry and shake all you want in this house,” Chara said idly.

   Frisk gripped the sharp end of the knife tightly and slowly let it dig down her hand and let blood come out. “Frisk stop wait!” Asriel panicked, he didn’t know what to do. “Frisk, child please listen to us”

“I’m sorry…I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I didn’t want to, I didn’t…sorry” Toriel gently wrapped her arms around Frisk’s shaking figure and told her everything was going to be fine. The blood kept pouring down frisk hands, Asriel knew so he grabbed tissues, slowly removed the knife from Frisk’s grasp and cleaned her hand.

   “My child, you’re safe here”

   Frisk’s eye widened and cried gently on Toriel’s shoulders. “I didn’t mean to, I didn’t mean to, It just happened and I was scared everything was destroyed and everyone w-was murdered I can’t…” Asriel’s eyes widened in surprise, but he kept treating frisk’s hands. “I wasn’t myself, I would never, and I can never….”

“Child it’s alright, how about you rest first?” Toriel told Asriel to take Frisk to the empty room. “Chara that wasn’t nice” Toriel scolded her daughter, though the words didn’t even reach Chara as she was staring at the blood on Frisk’s plate. “She killed someone” was all she said.

   “How can you tell?” Asgore asked in curiosity. Chara just shrugged and ate the food in front of her. Asriel walked down the stairs shortly after and sat down his chair, he too was looking at the blood on Frisk’s plate.

“How is she?” Toriel asked once Asriel sat down. “She’s still shaking and she kept saying sorry so I said I’ll give her some space” Asriel told her mother worriedly, “You think she’ll be alright? Looks like something really bad happened to her. Maybe she should stay with us until she’s fine to live on her own” Asriel suggested. Toriel was already planning on doing that but having another hand along with hers was easier “Alright”

   “Chara go apologize to her tomorrow” Asriel told his sister, Chara’s brows furrowed and finally she sighed “fine,”

   I’m sorry, sans I’m really, really sorry sans….Sans. Frisk sat on the corner of the room and brought her legs to her body as she cried. She stopped shaking sooner after she said sorry for the thousand times. Soon she finally stopped crying and slept peacefully, on the floor.

Morning came rather quickly, too quickly in Frisk’s opinion. She hasn’t even had time to change her bed to an actual bed and not the floor. Birds were chirping just outside her window and light was already peeping through the violet curtains on her room. She opened her eyes halfway and saw a tray with food and note from toriel, it said:

Dear frisk,

   ME and Asriel made you breakfast, I hope you’re feeling alright. While you were asleep Asgore and I Bought clothes for you so you can clean yourself, WE really want you to be ok so please say so if you’re not feeling good.

Love Toriel,

It was bacon and eggs. Frisk smiled to herself and helped herself to some Breakfast since she didn’t have dinner because of what happened last night. After finishing her food, she grabbed the clothes toriel gave her and head to the bathroom.

   Toriel was walking left and right repeatedly, anxiously talking to herself.

“Toriel, Calm down”

“Yeah Mom Frisk is fine, she fell asleep last night. On the floor though”

“She slept on the floor!?”

“Mother come on”

   They heard footsteps on the stairs and looked up to see who it was that’s making the noise, “Frisk…” Toriel’s eyes watered. “I came down to return the tray” Frisk smiled. Asriel darted to hug Frisk, almost sending the both of them out of balance and almost, almost dropping the tray. “I’m so glad you’re ok”

“Don’t worry, I cried myself to sleep” Frisk smiled. Asriel just gave another blanked face and so did toriel and Asgore. “I meant uh, I’m fine now” Asriel hugged frisk again and laughed. “You made me and mom worry so much, oh and Dad too and Chara” Frisk’s brows bolted upwards, Chara was worried about me? She looked at chara who was also looking at her with those luscious red eyes of hers. Chara realized she was staring for too long and darted her eyes the other way.

   Frisk felt warmth, and her chest tightened. The feeling was quite foreign actually so she didn’t know if her body was malfunctioning or something else because this feeling, it felt good. Normally if your chest tightened your about to have a massive heart attack but that didn’t happen so she’s lucky.

“I’m thus returning thy tray Mom” Toriel eye’s widened and she found herself crying once again. “Mom?” Asriel smiled too.

“Oh I’m sorry for calling you that I didn’t mean to-“

“No it’s alright, call me whatever you want but I prefer mom”

“Calling someone Mom feels kind of weird”

Asriel raised a brow and asked why

“I never had one before, a dad, a brother and sister. A family. I never had one I just grew up alone”

“Again you seem so calm about that” Asgore said with a blank face, but deep inside he was smiling widely. “I got used to it”

   “The tray...” Frisk gave Asriel the tray and he then put it on the sink.

“Frisk, if you don’t mind. We wanted you to stay here well that is if-“

“Just until I’m kind of strong enough to live outside again, I had a major mental breakdown last night and I can’t even think straight. I have to be strong, until then I’ll gladly stay here and help all of you with chores if that’s okay with you”

“We’d really love that”

   “Wait a second…” Chara stood up from the couch and approached Frisk, staring at the sweater she’s wearing and the sweater she was wearing herself. “Why are you wearing my sweater?” asked chara with narrowed eyes.

“Oh this is yours? I’m so sorry I’ll take it off and change I just grabbed the clothes on my bed so I didn’t know-“

“That’s not Chara’s it’s yours. We bought you the same kind as hers. You two look a lot alike so I can’t help myself” Asgore said with a dorky face of what seemed like and effect of unbearable cuteness. “I knew you always wanted a twin but I never knew this is how bad you wanted a twin!!”

“Oh hush dear,” Chara glared at Frisk who was smiling at her. “Did you buy the same clothes I have for her? Like all of them?”

“Yes”

“Frisk…” chara muttered her name. “Yes?”

“How old are you? No not that when were you born?” Frisk tried to remember the last time someone celebrated her birthday then she remembered sans and Papyrus, she refrained from frowning “16, October 5”

Chara grinned and laughed “Finally I’m older than someone in this house!!!”

   “Hope that doesn’t offend you in any way frisk” Asriel said behalf of Chara. “It’s fine, I kind of wanted an older sister anyway” Frisk gently stated and looked at Chara with lavish longing present in her eyes.

   The same reason why Chara blushed out of nowhere. What is this? I’ve never felt like this before. Could it be…affection? The thought of it alone made her blush even deeper, now her face was as red as the blood flowing in her veins. “Are you ok?” Frisk noticed the drastic change in her features and grew worried. “Your face is red, are you alright?”

     Frisk briefly touched chara’s shoulders, which made her flinch a bit and raise her head to capture her said to be twin’s brown eyes. Those eyes, it went on forever and ever, she’s lost and confused. “Chara” Frisk called her name again, trying to snap Chara back to earth.

   They kept on staring for each other’s pupils for a minute or two before breaking. Chara looked the other way and waited for frisk to react first. “Your eyes” she said with obvious amazement present in her voice.

“They’re red” Chara frowned at the comment and glared at frisk, instinctively. “Oh yeah? So what?” she said. Frisk stared deeper into Chara’s eyes, which pushed her a little on the edge. “They’re beautiful” frisk muttered in a barely audible voice.

   Chara’s face bursted into flames in a blink of an eye, “Oh dear” Toriel smiled. “Mother!”
