Breaking down (Lost and Found Arc)

In the middle of the night at 2:24 am, noise started coming out of Chara's room. Frisk and Asriel heard all of this, and peeled out to her room. They were surprised to see and hear Chara on the floor, crying and screaming in her sleep, suffering badly from a night terror. Frisk and Asriel ran to her to try and wake her up.

"Frisk, hold her down; I don't want her to hurt herself!" Asriel said, scared for his sister's life.

Frisk did as he was told with tears in his eyes.

"Chara, it's gonna be okay. Stay with us. Please." He said as he held her stationary.

"Mama, no! Please don't go! They'll kill you!" Chara cried.

"What the-oh, my God. She's having a nightmare."

Frisk tried to call for Asriel, but he was too busy getting some water to wake Chara up.

"Chara, it's gonna be okay. Just wait. Asrie-"

"NO! NO, MOMMY, PLEASE DON'T GO!" Chara screamed.

Asriel got back to Frisk and Chara with a bowl of cold water to splash on her.

"NO! MAMA!"

Chara started crying, and she curled up in the fetal position, completely unaware of the real world.

"Daddy! They killed mama! Why did they kill her?! She di-"

Asriel splashed the entire bowl of water on Chara before she could finish her sentence. She spat the water out and woke up, trying to snap out of it. She quickly opened her eyes, trying to catch her breath.

"Huh?! Wha? What the fuck is happening?! Why am I wet all over?!" She frantically shouted as she noticed the bowl Asriel was holding.

After the rude awakening, she made her creepy face, and lightning started to arc all over her body.

"ASRIEL DREEMURR! WHY DID YOU SPLASH WATER ON ME?! WERE YOU TRYING TO PULL A PRANK ON ME?! THIS WAS BECAUSE I BEAT YOU AT VIDEO GAMES, ISN'T IT?!"

Chara refused to calm down as she got ready to electrocute Asriel.

"Chara, listen! You were having a nightmare! We heard you from our rooms! We came to check on you, and you were crying and screaming, so we had to wake you up. I'm sorry for splashing water on you, but I had to."

Upon hearing her brother out, Chara calmed down, and the lightning went away.

"Oh. Alright, fine. I guess I overreacted. Sorry."

"Also, even if it was for you beating me at video games, it wouldn't be the sole reason as to why I would've done it. I would have actually kicked you for farting in my face, but that's it."

"Nevermind. Let's just go back to sleep. I'll be fine."

"No, you won't! You need to tell us what's wrong!"

Chara scowled at Asriel, and zapped him out of her room. He quickly got up and ran back to his own room as Chara stood by her door, making sure he didn't come back in. Frisk took his leave, not bothering to ask whether she was okay or not.

"Smart choice, partner." She complimented.

"I'm going to bed. I need to at least try to sleep." Frisk said, not wanting to get shocked by his girlfriend.

Chara took off her wet clothes and put on some dry ones, shaking her head in disappointment at her now-damp pajamas. Then she went to bed, trying to go back to sleep.

About 4 hours later, Toriel went to check on Frisk and Chara. She wasn't expecting to find Chara holding something sharp to her skin. Chara opened up a part of her skin, crying and angry at herself, not noticing that Toriel was watching. Toriel didn't want to see this, especially at this time of day. She screamed, and Chara heard her voice loudly enough to take note of her mother watching her cut herself. Then the knife slipped out of her hand, and she tried to cover her arm up as it bled.

"Mom! It's not what it looks like!" She tried to console with tears and fear in her eyes.

"THEN WHY ARE YOU CUTTING YOURSELF?!" Toriel shouted.

Chara cowered at Toriel's voice, not wanting to admit why.

"I, umm, I gotta go."

"Chara, you-"

"I GOTTA GO!"

Chara slammed and locked the door on Toriel in a manner most rude, and she quickly got dressed and ready for school. After she got dressed in a whirlwind-esque manner, she went to Frisk's room with gauze, her arm no longer bleeding, but the scar showing up.

"Frisk, we gotta get going now!" Chara yelled, trying to dry the blood she let out of her arm.

"Almost ready!" Frisk said, putting on his pants and shoes.

When he grabbed his backpack, he rushed out to the front door with Chara following him. He opened the door and started running on all fours.

"Hop on, Chara!" He yelled.

"Slow down; I can't run that fast!" She said, trying to catch up.

Frisk slowed his sprint enough to let Chara on his back. Then he extended his ears and tail and started flying. They were desperate to get out of the house. Their idea worked for a moment, for Frisk flew as fast as he could, not slowing down for a second.

"Frisk, mom saw me." Chara said as she teared up.

"What?! Chara, I told you not let her see!" Frisk said, keeping his eyes on his surroundings as he flew.

"I know, but I just felt like it was needed, okay?!"

"Chara, you have to be careful; people are gonna treat us the same way they used to."

"I know! I'm sorry! I just...had a bad dream, okay? I dreamt of my mom getting killed by those villagers, and-AAAUUGHHH!! FRISK, GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

Chara brought Frisk's attention to a flock of temmies and birds, who then steered out of their flight path before he could hit them. They both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry. I was listening to you." Frisk apologized.

"Frisk, please watch where you're flying."

"Sorry. Still new at this."

Frisk and Chara quickly made their way to school, trying to get rid of any signs of self-harm. Chara had Frisk check her for anymore scars she caused; he didn't find any. Chara did the same thing for Frisk, but she touched a soft part of his arm.

"Ow." Said Frisk.

Chara checked the source of the pain. She was surprised to see clawmarks on his arm, all of them in a similar manner to her scars she self-inflicted using a knife.

"Your claws, they're razor-sharp." She said.

"Here. Take this and file down your claws."

Chara handed Frisk a nail file, and he whittled away his claws. Then she took his arm, and she tried to bandage it, but noticed that the scars he had disappeared.

"What the-oh yeah, I forgot. You can heal pretty fast, too."

"Yeah. Let's get inside. No one saw or heard what we did yet."

The two hybrids ran inside the school as fast as they could. They broke out into a mad sprint. They were fast enough to rival a car's speed. In fact, some of the people driving saw Chara and Frisk's feat, and they were amazed at how fast they could run.

Once they got inside, they ran down to the cafeteria, planning on getting some breakfast. It was a hot selection, and they took advantage of the options. Luckily, they had more than enough money to pay for it. As they sat down to eat their breakfast, they talked to each other.

"Hey, Frisk?" Chara started.

"Yeah, Chara?" Frisk replied.

"I'm sorry. For everything."

"No, I'm the one that should be sorry."

"No, I meant earlier this morning when you and Asriel had to wake me up. It wasn't cool, and I didn't mean to make you do it."

"I'll manage. I hope."

"Ditto."

Later that day, when Frisk and Chara were in separate classes, they got a call to come to the councelor's office. They instantly got scared, and they tried to avoid it, but it was impossible at that point. They cautiously made their way to the office, trying to keep themselves from freaking out.

When they stepped inside, they were met with four familar faces: Sans, Papyrus, Toriel and Asriel. Frisk instantly started to peel out of the room, but Sans held him back enough to stop him right in his tracks; Chara did the same, only to be halted in place by Papyrus. As they tried to break free of the soul manipulation the skeletons were using, Asriel got up and shut and locked the door. Then Toriel got up and closed the window, even erecting a magic barrier to prevent it from being destroyed. Afterwards, the skeletons released their grip on them and let them fall onto the ground. Frisk frantically tried to unlock and open the door, but he was so stressed out by the situation, he couldn't even grip the doorknob. Chara tried to do it as well, but Frisk's sweat made it impossible to hold after that. They were both at the mercy of everyone in the room, especially Toriel and Asriel. Sans noticed Frisk's fearful expression and tried to break the ice.

"Hey, don't 'sweat it', bro. Even if you weren't nervous, with the way your hands are like, pretty sure it'd be tough to grab it anyway." He said, trying to ease Frisk's tension.

"Yes. It looks like a very 'slippery' slope to try to leave now." Toriel agreed, trying to calm Chara down.

Neither hybrid were put at ease. If anything, they were actually riled up even more.

"Look, bro. You and Chara gotta calm down. Ya not in any trouble. We just wanna talk."

"Talk?" Frisk questioned defensively.

"You wanna talk, huh? Well, you already have, so-"

"Not so fast, brother!" Papyrus said, commanding Frisk's attention.

"We need to talk to you about how you've been acting lately. We're worried, a-"

"Well, you shouldn't have to worry, Papyrus. Someone as great as you doesn't have to worry about a little temmie like me."

Frisk tried to use an incredibly cute face. Everyone was surprised at what he was able to do. They got scared, especially Asriel.

"Frisk, please don't do that face." Asriel begged, hiding behind Sans.

Frisk simply infused even more cuteness on his expression. Asriel cowered into a corner; everyone else was straining to resist petting Frisk. Chara's mettle couldn't hold up.

"Aww, he's so cute! Look at him! A fwuffy widdle cinnamon woll!" She said, rubbing his head and holding him close to her.

Frisk then pretended to yawn with his adorability. It augmented his predicament to his favor.

"Wook at that. Someone needs a nap!"

Frisk purred as Chara picked him up and held him like someone would normally hold a cat. After seeing his display of cuteness, everyone gave up and went to the principal's office.

Chara and Frisk were still scared, but they didn't let up their facade as they approached the building prinicpal.

"Excuse me, Dr. Singer?" Toriel beckoned.

"Ah, Ms. Toriel. Good to see you again." Said the principal.

"What can I do for you?"

"Yes, well it appears that we will need to take Frisk and Chara out of school for an extended period of time. We are not certain when they will be back, but we will need at least a couple of months."

"Very well. You know their subjects, and I can expect them to make up for any school work they miss out on. The file cabinet for temporary homeschooling subjects is on your right. I hope whatever problems are arising will be solved. I'd hate to see anything bad happen to these prodigies."

"Thank you, madam."

Toriel and Sans promptly grabbed the paperwork and left.

"You have a nice day." Asriel said to the principal before leading Frisk and Chara out of her office.

Toriel drove them all home with the paperwork in the front seat. Everyone else was in the back, glaring at Frisk and Chara. Frisk could only look out the window, trying to remain nonchalant. Chara looked down in embarrassment.

"Well? Aren't ya gonna say anything?" Sans asked Chara with empty eyesockets.

"Say what, comedian? There's nothing to say." Chara said absentmindedly.

Upon hearing this, Papyrus promptly grabbed Frisk and Chara and smacked their heads together. They rubbed their heads in frustration.

"Papyrus, why man?" Frisk said, recoiling from the cheap shot the normally enthusiastic skeleton dished out.

"Don't try to derail anything right now, Frisk." Papyrus said, clearly disappointed in him.

"We know what you and Chara were talking about, and we know what you did to yourselves."

Chara and Frisk instantly tensed up.

"What did you say?" They said, trembling and scared.

"We know what you did. What you BOTH did. We have some questions for you, or you are both going to answer them nice and honest. And don't bother sugarcoating it, either. We need to know the full truth."

"No, you don't. You don't need to know anything you don't already know about me. And plus, how do you know about what Chara and I said?!"

Sans and Papyrus glared angrily at Frisk with their eyesockets flowing with magic.

"WELL?! AREN'T YOU GONNA ANSWER ME?!"

"So it's not obvious? We spied on you at that restaurant you went to! We know what Chara did when she was younger, and we know what you did! We want to hear you say it!"

"I DON'T WANNA SAY ANYTHING!"

Frisk's eyes started glowing red brightly enough to make people outside the car take notice.

"EVEN IF I DID SAY ANYTHING, IT'S NOT LIKE IT WOULD FUCKING HELP! SANS HERE WOULD JUST JUDGE ME LIKE HE DOES EVERYONE ELSE!"

During his rant, one of Frisk's eyes started glowing cyan instead, signifying sorrow and rage. Sans and Papyrus took note of this. Wait. His eyes change color based on his emotions? Holy shit, Sans said to himself, visibly shaken.

"HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT DRIVES PEOPLE TO DO THE THINGS THEY DID! AND EVEN THEN, HE WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE 'that doesn't make what you did any more acceptable. If anything, it makes it even LESS acceptable'. WELL, SINCE WHEN DID HE KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT WHY PEOPLE THINK OR ACT THE WAY THEY DO?!"

Frisk got so angry, he finally started crying, forcing his eyes to change from red and cyan to simply cyan.

"AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORST PART IS?! HE DOESN'T EVEN ACT LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO DO THOSE HORRIBLE THINGS FEEL ANY REMORSE! WELL, GUESS WHAT, SANS?! HUMANS ARE MORE COMPLICATED THAN YOU THINK! THE WORLD ISN'T BLACK AND WHITE FOR YOU TO JUDGE AS YOU PLEASE!"

Frisk was breaking down extremely badly, enough to the point where his voice started going.

"DON'T YOU GET IT?! I FEEL HORRIBLE FOR THE WAY THINGS WENT! I WAS ALREADY PRACTICALLY THROWN AWAY FROM THE SURFACE BY THE HUMANS THAT LIVE ON IT, AND NOW MY HOME CAN'T BE MY OWN ANYMORE?! IT'S NOT FAIR!! IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR, SANS!"

Frisk stopped screaming his lungs out to cry to himself.

"It's not fair. It's...it's not fair. Just...it's...it's not..."

Chara tried to hold back, but she wanted to cry, too. She didn't want to show her tears, so she started faking a laugh with her creepy face. Her abilty to hide the sadness was starting to fade, for the way she was breathing was giving out a red flag. Toriel was so scared for Chara and Frisk, she pulled over and parked.

"Chara, Frisk, are you okay?" Said Toriel shakily.

"Of course, I'm fine, mom." Chara managed to say.

"Why would you think otherwise?"

"Chara, I know that is a lie. Tell us the truth. Please."

Chara stopped thinking rationally, grabbed Frisk, and bolted out of the car. She carried Frisk and ran as fast as she could, not stopping until she was out of sight and homebound.

"Chara. Frisk. It's worse than I thought. Is everybody okay?"

Everyone but Sans confirmed it. Sans just sat there with empty eyesockets, feeling guilty for his behavior.

"Sans? Are you alright?"

"Tori, I think I pushed too hard this time." Sans said, hanging his head low.

"Actually, I'm pretty sure I'M the one who pushed him over the edge." Papyrus said, taking the blame.

"It doesn't matter who's to blame. Frisk and Chara need help, even if they refuse to admit it." Asriel said, feeling determined to save Chara and Frisk from themselves.

They all watched as Chara ran away from them. They started the car again, trying to get to Toriel's house, only to lose track of Chara, thanks to traffic lights. Whatever hope they had of getting back home before they could was gone, but that didn't matter, especially since Asgore came into the picture afterwards.
