A/N: As I played Undertale, I viewed Frisk as more of a female CHARActer. Since I view that Toby Fox left Frisk a mute genderless child as an opportunity for the player to create their own story for them, that's what I did. This same reasoning also applies to Chara.

These chapter are posted on Wattpad and FFN

I do not own Undertale. All rights and names belong to Toby Fox (except my personal character :D)

"Sit down, little ones, and let me tell you a wonderful story. The Tale of Man and Monster."

"Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: Humans, and Monsters."

"One day, a war broke out between the races, and after a long battle, Humans were victorious."

"Driving the monsters Underground, the humans sealed the monsters with a mighty spell, one that could never be broken without the combined power that matched those seven mages."

"After many, many years, humans had all but forgotten about monsters, with all that remained of their legacy being tales. Tales of Mount Ebott, the mountain that towered over the massive populous that was Ebott City."

"Tales of children climbing the mountain, never to return."

"The first of these children was Chara, the human who hated humans. She climbed the mountain to escape from her home, and she found a new one, with Monsterkind, and with the Dreemurrs, the royal family of the Underground. She befriended Asriel, the child of Asgore and Toriel, the King and Queen of monsters, and for a year, she was shown a glimmer of happiness, of joy, while Monsterkind celebrated, for they now had hope, hope for a brighter future that lay within Chara and Asriel."

"But Chara was an empathetic child, and she could see and feel the pain that Monsterkind was going through, having been locked Underground for so long. So she made a plan with Asriel, one that ended up costing the lives of both Chara and Asriel, once again sinking Monsterkind into despair."

"And Asgore, after losing both of his children, declared war on humans, stating that any and all humans that fell Underground - including children - were to be killed, or captured and brought to him. This disgusted Toriel, and she left one night, never to return."

"More years passed by, and eventually, after six more human children had been slain, their souls captured, one child, a little girl, climbed the mountain, and fell deep underground, and discovered the wonders that lay within.

"Here, she met many creatures, and made so many new friends - Sans and Papyrus, the skelly bros that lived in Snowdin Town. Undyne, the Captain of the Royal Guard, who the child managed to show that not all humans were evil. Alphys, the Royal Scientist, who the child helped give the courage to step forwards and be honest about her mistakes, while showing her that everyone deserves a second chance."

"She met Asgore, the King of Monsters, who she showed that, despite his atrocities against the innocent, even he was deserving of Mercy."

"And, she somehow managed to shatter the barrier that had held Monsters Underground for so long, setting them free, and saving an entire race."

"But that was a very long time ago, and in a different timeline. For now, we shall see what happens when a new variable is added to the mix. This tale, is not the tale of Men and Monsters, the one with a happy ending. This tale is full of horrors unthinkable. This tale is of betrayal and redemption. Of pain and love. The story didn't end with one girl coming to the mountain, the tale continued when a pair of twins, a male and female, climbed Mount Ebott, seeking escape...

"Run, Frisk!" Harley yelled to his sister. He seized her hand, and charged out of the cover of the trees, sprinting up Mount Ebott, with the sounds of dogs barking and howling behind us, followed by the shouts of men.

They ran through the undergrowth, bobbing and weaving through vines and thorns. Still, thorns tore into their hands and arms as they attempted to shield their faces.

They ran higher and higher until they reached a small cavern at the top.

"Whoa!" Harley exclaimed, upon reaching the entrance of a pit. Frisk almost barreled right into it, but he caught her around the waist and hoisted her up.

"Thanks." She said breathlessly.

"You're welcome" Harley responded curtly, and looked towards the exit, hearing the howls of the dogs. He then looked at his twin sister. Her brown hair was cut down to her neck, and it normally looked a lot cleaner than it did right now, as it was covered in leaves. Her pale skin was covered in grime, and her purple and yellow sweater had some tears in it, revealing portions of her bra and her belly. He was glad she had the sweater on. Looking at those… Marks again would fill him with an unreasonable rage, which would probably lead him to make some very rash decisions. And, despite all of this, her red eyes shone very clearly in the dim light, full of worry.

Frisk examined her brother. He was about six inches taller than her, standing at about 5'11", his jet black hair, which was normally kept very closely cropped to his head, was a disaster. His skin was just as pale as hers, but he had a slightly better build, even for a sixteen year old. While she was very lean and skinny, he had some muscle built up, as he has to be strong to take the punishments. She winced as he turned, revealing a tear in his black and white sweater, which displayed part of a scar across his back. He turned to face her, his eyes, which were a slightly darker shade of red than hers, flashed in the dark, the worry and anger very clear in them.

"Are you hurt?" Harley asked her.

"No. Not yet, at least." She responded. He gazed at her, his eyebrows knitting together in confusion. "Remember what they said would happen if we ran away again?" She reminded him.

Harley shuddered. "I would die before I let that happen to you," he swore.

The howls grew closer, and Harley seized a large branch off the ground, broke it in half, and handed part of it to Frisk. "Just in case." He commanded.

Frisk looked around, panicking as she heard the howls grow closer and closer. "Bro…" she whispered.

"What is it?" He asked, widening his stance, preparing to fight.

"You know we don't stand a chance, right?"

"Yes. I'm aware. But I'll die before-"

"You let them touch me. I know." She finished. "But we could just jump in this hole."

Harley just stared at her, and she pushed on. "Look, we ran up here trying to disappear,

following the urban legends. So, instead of being the first humans to return safely from the mountain, how about we just disappear?"

"Meet our end, in our own way." Harley said slowly. "Defy these assholes one last time." He grinned humorlessly. "Might as well. We're going to die anyway."

Frisk grabbed his hand. "Ready?"

"Not a moment to lose." He responded. "All of my worries… all of the flesh we have sacrificed."

He thought to himself. "And it finally ends. By our hands, not theirs."

"I love you Harley. You are the best brother I could have ever asked for." Frisk thought. "I am so sorry that you suffered so much in my name. At least it will all finally come to an end."

As the howls grew closer and closer, brother and sister glanced at each other, one last time, and, with a nod from Frisk, jumped. They jumped to their escape from the suffering that was their lives.

…..

Or so they thought.

A/N:2/17/19 - So, I have come to a decision. Instead of constantly going back to update previously published chapters for things such as small grammar errors/wrong uses of tenses, I welcome readers to see how my skill has grown and developed over the last two years.

I will still be adding small things here and there, because I did not have much of a plan when I started Twintale, and was just making things up as I went along, meaning that nowadays, every new chapter has me combing through priors to fix continuity errors.

Make a plan when you write, people! :D
