Chapter 2

Chara's POV

I gasp, waking with heavy breath and a very sweaty body. I grasped my shirt tightly, trying to regain my breath.

I hear rustling in the sheets of Frisk's bed. "Chara, are you ok? It's kind of early.."

"Y- yeah.. I'm fine, just.. short of breath. Go back to sleep.." I answered, not wanting to do the "I had a nightmare comfort me please I'm scared" crap Asriel used to do.

"Are you sure?" Frisk glared at me, determined to figure it out. She started to shuffle out of bed.

"Frisk. I'm fine. Go back.. to sleep." I was getting annoyed by her persistence. Frisk sighed and went back to sleep.

I waited till she was fully asleep to grab my phone and tip-toe to the kitchen. Just a few more hours until school anyways.

I flip the switch to the kitchen lights, which luckily were dim. I sat on the barstool and checked my notifications. Nothing but updates to candy crush and junk.

I couldn't help but think about that nightmare- no memory from my sleep. I groan and try to think about something, anything, other than that.

Luckily my phone buzzes in front me. Picking it up, I read the news from a popular news app.

'The public suddenly has a protest about monster population growing too high. Though it was just a group of angry people wanting to be heard.'

I exit the page, deciding to pass the time with a few levels of candy crush.
