【自留】Fallen From Grace by V(35)
"Um..." I stammer,
"You've barely touched your breakfast, are you feeling okay?" I look up and stare directly into her dark brown eyes ensconced in her furry white outer layer. I hold there for a while, saying nothing. "Chara…?" She asks, concerned.
"Yeah-," I blurt out, "I'm okay." I turn back to my broth and go to force some down my throat.
"Chara?" Asriel turns to me, "You're acting weird." I drop my spoon and look back at Toriel. I can't say anything. The corners of my vision are going red. Her eyes turn crimson, her arms start moving up to point at me. My teeth clench hard enough to shatter. My hand reaches down and grabs the butter knife beside the bowl, as I lunge to my left and ram it into Asriel's hand.
"Chara!" He screams as he leaps from his chair, clutching his hand.
"Asriel!" Toriel runs to him and immediately takes his untouched hand, guiding him away into the kitchen at the back of the room. She doesn't turn back to look at me. As I hear Asriel crying and shouting a slew of "It hurts" and "Make it stop" I look down at my hands. My palms looking up at me with a spurt of grey dust over them. I drop the knife and run back to Asriel's room, slamming the door behind me and burying myself under the bedsheets. Lying on an impromptu mattress with naught but a single sheet over it, I curl up and press my eyes into my knees. I try not to cry but can't stop myself…
