——– ✘
A deep unsatisfied scowl covered Void’s face as Frisk spoke and then started walking. What a foolish mistake. He followed them, not too close, not yet, but he was mad.
✱ Foolish Child.
He reached out and gripped their wrist, pulling them towards him. His hand poised on their back while their other arm wrapped around their neck, holding them close to him. His arm squeezed their neck while his hand pressed harder and harder into their spine. His arm shifted slightly so he could shove his fingers in their mouth. Just in case they were thinking about screaming.
✱ I wonder how your precious puppy would feel when he sees you broken and bleeding, hmmm?
Of course, Frisk wouldn’t be able to answer the question, since his fingers were dangerously close to choking them with just how deep they were. His other hand pinched into their skin, hard. He leaned down to their ear, nuzzling his nose hole gently against their hair, it was uncomfortably tender.
✱ i’ve always found blood so terribly fascinating.
With the last words uttered softly into Frisk’s ear, his hand abruptly broke their skin with painful force. His hand shot out the other side of their chest, dripping in blood and gripping their still beating heart. He squeezed, causing it to sputter. He watched his handiwork with hunger in his eyes. He held Frisk up by the back of their neck, not letting them fall to the ground if they tried to.
Blood coated his hand and his arm, there was a generously sized puddle of crimson forming beneath them. Void was thrilled.
✱ i’m sure i’ll see you soon, darling.
♥ —— meeting the deranged ruler…
Frisk halted in place, jerked around like a toy doll as their neck was gripped, panic setting in.
When the fingers crept into their mouth, they bit down, feeling bone crack under the weight of their teeth.
Determination flowed within them.
Their body jerked as Void’s hand ripped through their body, a strangled sound escaping from their throat through the fingers of bone that threatened to block the passage of air.
It hurt.
Everything hurt.
Frisk’s soul was different -- it shone with a dull brilliance, red pulsing as soon as it touched Void’s hand, and Frisk’s vision grew dim and grey the further the soul was away from them.
They hadn’t felt this way in a long time.
They felt the blood pool under them, their expression torn as they struggled to keep conscious.
“You... fuck.”
The words were darker. More menacing.
Chara.
Eyes shining red, they struggled to lift their arm and managed to graze their fingers across their soul, life sparking in that one instant.
