Chapter one: part 1 It's so dark. Darker, darker, yet darker, something's wrong. Where was she? Who was she? The darkness seem to be consuming her, filling her mind, leaving no room for memories. She called for help... But nobody came. The darkness was blinding, it hurt just to attempt to look past it, or into it, trying to find something other than pitch black. And the silence...was deafening, the ringing produced by her ears was so loud in the dead silence that the dark seem to create. She couldn't move, couldn't even see her own body to know she had one to move. She felt numb. Maybe it was better to give up, to stop struggling, stop trying to remember. Maybe it was better to be content in the dark, to become one with it... No. She couldn't, something in her soul seemed to resonate, telling her she needed to fight. But why? She began to push the darkness from her mind, fighting to remember. It started off small, but she began to stumble upon memories. Her name...her name was Fester...she is 21... her parents...long dead, but... suddenly she gasps memories flood in like a damn breaking free. *Two days ago* " mmm..." she grumbled as another poke to her face disturbs her sleep. She peels her eyelids open momentarily blinded by the sunlight streaming in through the blinds of her bedroom window. As she regains her vision, she snorts at the sight before her. "Frisk? what the-" her 10-year old sister stands before her covered in paint. Frisk grins widely at her and begins signing. " I made you a surprise! you have been working so hard I wanted to thank you with a gift!" Frisk begins tugging her hand trying to get her to follow. Slinging the covers from her body, Fester gets up to follow her little sister through her messy room, then down the hallway of her tiny apartment to her office. "Surprise!" Frisk signs waving around jazz hands. Fester stares at the obvious fingerpainting that sits on her easel. It is the night sky painted in black and dark blue with tiny yellowish white dots mapping out her favorite constellation. The lion, which matches her zodiac sign, Leo. "Do you like it?" Frisk signs after first getting Festers attention by quickly tugging on her pajama shirt. Fester smiles brightly in response picking up her little sister in a hug. "I love it hun, thank you!" Frisk is beaming as Fester pulls away from her, and sets her back down. "Im glad!" Frisk signs as Fester suddenly becomes aware of something wet on her cheek, and after further examination, by touching her face, she finds that it is blue paint. Fester giggles looking down at her sister who is a total mess. "You need a bath, messy." Fester states. Frisk nods in agreement an rushes to their shared bathroom. * * * * * * * Fester had already cleaned her office, noting the small handprints that littered her desk. She then washed her face, and had begun making breakfast in the kitchen when Frisk finally emerged from the bathroom. Fester noticed her sister had put on her favorite outfit, a long sleeved blue and purple striped sweater dress, with blue jean shorts, black socks, and black tennis shoes. Fester had bought the outfit for her sister as a gift during the previous Christmas, and the small child had loved it. "What's for breakfast?" Frisk signs as she sat at the small dining table. "Bacon and eggs," Fester replies bring two plates of the aromatic food over to the table setting one in front of her sister and sets one in front of herself, "I thought that since its the weekend and we have nothing to do today, that we could go for a walk up the Ebott trails for a bit after breakfast. How does that sound?" Frisk freezes momentarily with a fork full of food half way to her mouth to deliberate for a second before finally nodding and stuffing her face. Fester grins at her sister cheerfully, and begins eating her food as well. Frisk finished before her as usual, and Fester threw in a quick joke that Frisk was more garbage disposal than human, to which her sister countered by sticking out her tongue. Fester continued to eat while her sister sat in front of the TV to watch something while Fester finished. Once Fester was done with her food she cleaned the dishes, and headed back to her room at the end of the hall to get ready for the day. She sighed as she stepped into her room, it was a disaster. Her tiny room had art supplies, clothes, and school work strewn about. Her matrass, which was situated on the floor in the corner of the room, looked as though someone had had a wrestling match on it. Closing her bedroom door she looked over herself in the full length mirror that hung on the back of it. Her cat-green eyes stared back at her framed by slightly distinguishable circles, brown eyebrows, and thick dark lashes. Her heart-shaped face, though pale like the rest of her, was almost completely clear of all blemishes, which she took a moment to admire, and haloed by her thick wavy reddish brown hair. Her short body was thicker than she would like, but her slightly larger than average breasts and full behind always made her feel confident. Fester turns from the mirror pealing her eyes from her form to hunt for clean clothes amongst the sea of laundry that currently spilled from her dresser on to the floor. It takes her ten minutes but she manages to finally find an outfit she deems worthy enough to wear. A dark blue half top with a green cartoon bow design on the front, highwaisted jean shorts, black thigh high socks with blue and green bows at the top, and a pair of brown hiking boots.Content with her clothes she quickly brushes her hair, and goes to collect her sister whose attention was still glued to the TV. "Ready to go?" Fester asks, looking expectantly at her little sister. Frisk nods and quickly shuts off the tv. She then quickly joins her sister at the front door, and together they walk out to begin the day. * * * * * It had already been about four hours but Fester was thoroughly enjoying the beautiful scenery, and didn't want to go home just yet. They were currently about halfway up mount Ebott. It was absolutely gorgeous, wild flowers of all colors were blooming everywhere, and the sun shone brightly through the trees into the small clearing they were relaxing in. Fester watched as Frisk ran around chasing butterflies through the flowers, and shuffled around through the tall blades of grass. Fester always enjoyed getting to spend peaceful days with her sister when neither of them had school, and Fester didn't have to work at either of the two part time jobs she had as an artist and a burger-flipper. Fester didn't mind having to work so much as long as it meant her sister had everything she needed to live a happy, healthy life. Fester laid down in the tall grass looking up at the passing clouds, she could almost forget all her worries during such a peaceful and relaxing time. She could forget her past, her parents, her demons, and just be in the moment. After a few minutes she realized it was well past lunch time and that her sister must be hungry. "Hey Frisk, you ready to head back?" no response, "Frisk?" Fester stood up noticing quickly that it was quiet.....too quiet. Panic set in rather quickly after that. Fester called for her sister, hoping that the girl would hear her and come running....but nobody came. Fester rushed about the clearing searching frantically for any signs of the small child, but there was nothing. She screamed, and cried hoping for something, anything to help her find the missing girl. Self-haterade and blame seemed to drown her. Why hadn't she been watching her? This was all her fault! After two hours of screaming her throat raw she finally came to her senses and called for search and rescue. She met up with police and the search team explaining what had happened, to which the team immediately began their search for the girl. Fester stayed with them to help them search till well past dark, but when no signs of the girl could be found the team suggested Fester return home while they continued to try and find Frisk. Fester protested not wanting to just leave while her sister could be lost somewhere in the dark possibly injured. However, the police insisted that she leave it to the professionals to find the girl, and escorted her home. Fester entered the small apartment her and her sister shared...had shared. No. She couldn't give up. She needed to have hope that Frisk would be returned home safe and sound. Fester paced about for most of the night unable to sleep in the empty apartment without knowing where her sister was. Morning came, slowly, and with it a call from search and rescue informing her that they had found nothing but would continue the search for another 24 hours. Fester thanked the team for helping her, but after hanging up she couldn't hold back the sobs that wrenched her body. Curling up on the sofa she cried herself into a restless sleep. * * * * * * * Fester woke up at around 7 that night. In her heartbroken state she had hoped to wake up to her sister watching tv in the living-room, and that the day before had just been a terrible nightmare. However, that wasn't the case, instead she woke up to a missed call from the police who said that the search team needed a break for the night, and that they would continue the search for her sister the next day. Fester felt her chest heave at the thought of no one looking for her sister. She couldn't allow that.Fester quickly grabbed a flashlight and headed out to search for her sister herself. After she finally made it back to the clearing where she had last seen Frisk, it was well past dark. She searched for a total of three hours before rage, stress, and desperation exploded from her in a blood curdling scream. She began kicking at pebbles under her feet and crying. This was all her fault. If she had been watching Frisk none of this would have happened. If she had just been a better sister. If she had just- Suddenly something caught her eye. In her fit Fester had been kicking at dirt when a few pebbles seemed to roll and fall down along with loose soil into what looked like a hole. The hole had a large amount of over growth over the top of it which made it nearly impossible to see.
