Chapter One | Fallen Humans On The Bed Of Flowers

Frisk awoke. Slowly opening their eyes and brushing their brown-haired bangs out of them. They looked around. They saw a small room filled with sunlight. The room seemed to have a grey hue. They looked down and saw they were on a bed of golden flowers. These must have broken my fall. They say in their head.

Just then, they heard a sound come from behind them. There was another human lying face first on the flowers. They had messy reddish-brown hair and a green and pale yellow striped shirt. Unlike Frisk's blue and purple striped shirt, this other human had one stripe while Frisk had two. The other human woke up and looked around dazed. They got up but didn't seem to notice Frisk. They looked taller than Frisk. So they'd have to be older.

"Are you okay?" Frisk asked the other human.

The human turned around and looked down at Frisk showing their vibrant red eyes. Frisk was taken aback by the sight of them. They had pale skin and pink rosy cheeks and had a red locket dangling around their neck.

"Are you alright?" Frisk asked them again.

"Who are you?" The red eyed human replied with a question.

"I'm Frisk. I fell down here but I can't remember how...or why. All I know is that I want to get out of here, and go home." Frisk said as they looked up at the hole above with shining sunlight coming through.

"Hm.." Said the human "Me too."

The other human walked around but didn't leave Frisk by themselves lying on the flowers. There was silence between them for awhile until Frisk decided to break the ice.

"So, do you have a name?" Frisk asked not meaning to sound rude.

"Pft. Of course I have a name!" The human smiled held out their hand offering to help Frisk up "I'm Chara."

Frisk looked at their out stretched hand and placed their hand in theirs. Chara pulled them up off the flower bed. "Nice to meet you."

"Likewise." Said Chara as they shook Frisk's hand.

Chara and Frisk walked together through the catacombs. There wasn't much to see. The whole place was walled with purple-pink bricks. There were tall pillars with vines growing on most of them, some leaves here and there and signs saying strange things about different rooms.

As they walked, Chara and Frisk shared some more things with each other. They asked what their favourite colour was, if they could remember anything about their families, and so on. Chara said their favourite colour was yellow and Frisk said theirs was blue. Frisk didn't know if they had family or not so they didn't spend too much time thinking about it, but Chara felt like they were missing something. They could remember they had a family but they couldn't remember any faces. Their memory was fuzzy and they tried to forget the rest of the time but something about the atmosphere kept pulling them back.

There were piles of dust everywhere they went. Chara didn't know what to think of that. Something about all of this made them feel uneasy. It was like they needed to remember something really important, but couldn't.

Chara walked behind Frisk the whole time unless there were puzzles to solve. They would do them for Frisk like they knew exactly what to do. Chara couldn't help feeling like they were being watched but, there was nobody in there but themselves and Frisk. They finally came to a small house with a giant old tree in front of it. All the leaves had fallen off and were on the ground laying peacefully.

"This looks like nice place to rest." Chara said as the walked toward the house.

"I don't know...this whole place gives me chills. Maybe there's another way around?" Frisk replied sounding unsure of the house.

They didn't seem to want to go into someone else's home. Chara got to door, placed their hand on the handle and before they could try to open it, Frisk took their hand off. They looked at Chara.

"Frisk, please. We can rest in here. We're both tired from walking. It won't be for long. I promise." Chara looked at Frisk with their red eyes.

"Mm...okay.."

Chara opened the door that was luckily unlocked. They walked in, looked around and saw cobwebs everywhere. There were stairs that seemed to lead to a basement and a bookshelf that was covered in webs as well. The place looked abandoned.

"See, Frisk! No one's here!" Chara said as they walked further into the house.

Frisk followed Chara in looking uneasy. Chara went to the right and walked down the hallway with three doors. They tried the first door and went in. It was a red room with a singular bed off to the right. There was a rug on the floor, a dresser, a shelf with an empty picture frame, a box of old shoes, a toy chest and a hand-drawn picture of a flower posted on the wall. Chara looked at the flower picture and smiled.This is like the flowers from the bed Frisk and I woke up on...strange. Chara thought and walked over to the dresser. They found many striped shirts of different colours. Frisk walked into the room after Chara had opened the dresser. Frisk looked at the shirts and gave Chara a puzzled look.

"New shirts. Wanna have one?" Chara offered

"What! But that would be stealing!" Frisk's voice sounded concerned and scared.

"No one's here Frisk. I mean it's not like anyone's using them! And I'm sure this old place needs to get cleaned out anyway. "

Chara pulled out two new striped shirts. One was blue with two dark blue stripes. The other was yellow with a dark green stripe.

"Which one do you want?" Chara let Frisk pick first. Frisk pointed to the blue one, so Chara took the yellow one.

Frisk, with their new shirt, went to look in at the rest of the house while Chara, was looking in the other rooms. Frisk didn't want to invade more of this person's privacy in case they came back. They looked a the bookshelf which must have more than twenty books

about snails.

"I didn't know there was so much to know about snails." Frisk laughed and continued looking around.

There was a table with two chairs. Frisk looked at the wilted golden flowers on the table. The once beautiful centerpiece was now just dead flowers in a cobwebbed pot. There was also a big chair near a lovely fire place. The chair had a single book on it. The book also appeared to be about snails. Frisk walked into the kitchen where they found anything you'd normally see in a kitchen. A fridge, some counters, a sink and a stove. They opened the fridge to see if there's any food that is still eatable.

"No chocolate!" Chara said from behind Frisk.

This made Frisk jump from being surprised like that. They turned to see Chara wearing the new shirt and their bangs pushed away from their face. They saw both eyes clearly now. Chara laughed at Frisk reaction.

"Chara! Don't scare me like that!

"I wasn't tryn' to scare ya!" Chara kept laughing but soon they stopped as they heard a loud bang coming from the basement.
