"Sigh... why can't I get this character!?" I said with frustration while staring at the game on my phone.

"She's the only one I want! I don't care for the other characters! they can go die in a ditch somewhere, so please just give me HER! Do I have to kill everyone again!?" I was starting to get angry.

I was thinking of throwing my phone at the wall so that I can put out the saltiness coursing through my blood.

I just sigh to myself as I stand up from the chair I'm sitting on. As I stood up, I look around to see everyone on the train looking at me. I sometimes forget that I am in a public area when I'm playing games.

I embarrassingly exit the 3434 train to Bulgwang quickly and then bumped into a person looking on his phone.

"Urgh!" both of us groan from the unexpected collision of our bodies.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking." "My bad." both of us apologized to each other. After I exchanged apologies with the man, he looks back to his phone and mutters "So he died again for the 1862nd time..."

I ignore what he said and walked away since I need to catch up to the place I work at. I work part-time while in college since I live alone. I don't have anything like family since I was an orphan. I didn't have anyone to call family but maybe having one won't be so bad.

I arrive in front of the place I work at called "Hope and Adventure Loving Hotel" the name sounds long but it does wonders making more people stay from how nice it sounds.

I enter the nice hotel and greet my co-workers. I also greeted the old Manager who always smiles on the front desk. I head inside the staff room and went to the women's lounge. I dress to our work attire and felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Yo! Cath still wearing that eye patch?" I turn around and saw my co-worker behind me.

"looks cool right?" I say with a smile on my face.

"It does look awesome on you." she says while giving a thumbs-up.

I smile hearing someone compliment my appearance. I don't care what others say about my looks but I still like compliments. I have dark short hair with emerald green eyes. I also liked wearing a dark eye patch since I think it makes me look cool. I was also 5'10 which I got a lot of comments about since they thought of me as a tall woman.

"See you later Bea! Don't want to see mister Ron angry because we're lazing around right?" I told her which made her flinch a little.

After I was done dressing, I head out to the lobby. My job was to clean the rooms where guests stay which is pretty disgusting. I have to clean the room nicely and tidy which is sometimes full of liquids I don't want to mention.

*Tremble*

The hard ground that I was standing on trembled. I look around and saw everyone normal as if nothing happened. The tremor started to grow stronger and I started to lose my ground. I tried to walk away or go somewhere to hold onto but I just fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" my manager Ron walked close to me and asked. He was standing like nothing was happening. Like there wasn't anything happening in the first place.

"What do you mean!? THE GROUND IS LITERALLY SHAKING!"

I yell with panic to my manager. He looks at me with a confused face. The ground started to quake stronger and stronger. I saw cracks start to form around the lobby walls, floor, and ceiling.

"You might need rest Cath. You seem out of it."

Ron tells me with a worried look but I didn't pay any attention to him since the ground started to split. The cracks on the ground grew larger towards me. I tried to run away but the shaking ground made me fall to the floor.

The cracks started to surround me and then the floor I was laying down on started to crumble.

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

I scream loudly. The ground crumbled fast and I fell through to the hole it created.

"AAAAAAAAA HELP ME!"

I tried to grab on to something only to not grab anything. I was scared. I was afraid of heights especially falling from high heights. I was scared of dying but what scared me more was living through the fall only to have my limbs disfigured and bent in inhumane ways.

I tried to look around to see if there was anything that could help stop my fall without getting hurt but I only saw the walls 10 meters away from me. I couldn't stop my body from falling from this abysmal height.

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I WANT TO LIVE!"

I felt the air hitting my body while still falling. I wanted to live... No, I was determined to live. I fixed my position so that my legs would take the impact of my fall rather than my upper body.

But I felt something weird. My body felt weak. I look at my hands only to see the long sleeve of my work suit. I felt my hands under it like it was too short. My arms shrank from their original size.

"MY HANDS!"

As I say that. The scenery of a deep endless hole disappeared and I was met with a beautiful sky. The sky was so clear that it was amazing to look at. I then looked up and saw the hole I dropped from nowhere to be seen like it was never there in the first place.

I look down and saw I was about to fall on a thick patch of flowers on an open field. I couldn't see anything. My body then shrank making my clothes cover my whole body like I was a burrito. I tried to get the clothes off my face. I succeed and got my face out of my clothes, getting a bit of breathing air.

The next thing I knew, I fell to the flower patch. The flowers then cushioned my drop.

*Fwoosh*

My small body lessened the impact of my fall but I still felt hurt. Tears start to form around my eyes and I couldn't contain my voice from screaming.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

'What the fuck! I'm crying like a baby.'

I was confused at the sudden wail I made. So many things happened in a single day. I fell into an unknown hole caused by an earthquake then I fell from the sky while my body started to shrink. When I fully shrank, I fell on a patch of yellow flowers.

I was thinking if anyone has had the same experience as I got.

I didn't know what was happening but I knew I needed someone to help me. So I did what I always did if I needed help. Be annoying.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I cry louder than before hoping for someone to take notice. I kept crying out repeatedly for a bit hoping for someone to help me.

But nobody came...

That is what I thought until I heard footsteps nearby. I couldn't move my head since it was too heavy and I was forced to look at the cloudy sky. Hearing those footsteps, I stopped my annoying cries.

I saw a 5 or 6 years old girl above looking down on me, she is wearing a lime and cream-colored striped shirt. She had brown short hair and red eyes that looked at me like I was some sort of ant. After staring at me for a while she then smiles creepily making me a bit uncomfortable.

'WHAT IS HAPPENING?!' I screamed internally to myself.

(Chara POV)

I was walking down the place where Frisk and I usually play at.

"I'm bored... can something interesting happen?" I sigh and kept walking, Me and Frisk would usually play every day but today she was still sleeping. I tried to wake her up but she just ignored my attempt.

I was gonna visit the place where Me and Frisk planted those buttercup flowers until I heard something cry in its direction.

I'm sure only me and Frisk know where it is located so I didn't know how something got to it.

I arrive and saw a bunch of clothes on top of the buttercup flowers we planted. I then heard another cry but it came from the clothes. As I walk closer to the clothes, the cries stopped.

When I was looking down at the clothes I saw a face peeking out of them. It looked like a baby and it was staring at me. It kept staring at me so I started back at it.

'Maybe I should take this baby back with me and surprise Frisk with it. Maybe we could play catch with this baby.' After that thought, I smile seeing how smart I am.

I saw the baby flinch but I didn't care. The baby had green eyes. the baby also wears an eye patch which was weird since a baby shouldn't have any injuries.

I grabbed the baby and saw a name on the clothes it was covered with. "Cath.." It was the name written on the side of the clothes. I decided that I will call her that from now on since calling it the baby every time is gonna be tiring.

"Should I kill this baby?"

I was thinking really hard if letting this baby live would be a good idea. I just shook my head remembering that Frisk might like Cath.

I held Cath close to my chest. She was a bit small now that I look at her. She seems to be about 3 years old judging from her size. She looked pretty cool with her eyepatch, I then wipe the tears on her eyes.

"I guess she's Adorable?" I say with a bit of confusion. I had to admit she looked cute with her black hair and emerald eyes.

I then walk away from the buttercup flowers with Cath and the clothes next to her. Cath was just silent not doing anything while I was walking back home.
