A Different Turning

Summary:

If The Soul was there when Kris was a child, but it was their best friend.

 

It sacrificed itself to save everyone, but it was lost instead of Dess

Kris goes slightly obsessed with finding and reuniting back with their Original Soul, using another.

Notes:

I decided to shoot my shot

Note that this is only a Oneshot because I’m not good at stories, so instead I’ll be dumping ideas here for anyone else to use for their stories and see how they go.

All I ask is credit for the idea (just the idea, not the story you’ll write) and also to be giving links to your stories so I can read them and leave Kudos

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

The Adventure was over…for now…

 

The first steps have been taken…for now…

 

And yet…

 

 

He’s still not here… Why…? Why aren’t you here…?

 

 

I remember it like it was yesterday

 When I first realized we both shared my body, I was scared, I wanted you gone…I wanted you dead…

 You saw I was afraid, you felt my wants…yet you comforted me…you showed me that I can still have full control, You WANTED me to be in control…you wanted only to be someone I can trust…my friend…my Soul…

 

 You even encouraged me to tell Asriel, Dess and Noelle…all so that I wouldn’t be alone…they were also like me…wanting you gone…but you proved yourself…my own control while I felt you smile at my moving

 

 It was then that I fully trusted you, that when Asriel, Dess, and Noelle were busy, you were there with me…when I was cold, I felt your warmth…when it was Dark, you shined so bright…when I was afraid or upset, you helped me…taking enough control that it proved I could do it without you next time…

 

 You…were there when I first started learning Piano…Watching with Joy as I tried and tried, all by my own choice…It didn’t feel like when I played for Azzy, Dess, and Noelle…it felt…Personal…connected…I felt…complete…with you…

 

 

 You even showed me the trick I would use on Noelle…The first time I held you in my hands, you were so warm…so…small…yet I felt that power…you could’ve at any time taken control…but you taught me how I can keep control and give it…I had to hold you close to keep you from squirming around…you were so full of energy…I laughed as you escaped, but nuzzled my cheek and started to spin around my head.  

 

 Everyone else held you too, they felt at peace, a calming gentle feeling you constantly put out…Dess suggested that maybe I could give you a whirl in her body.  You instantly flew back into mine, Using your feelings, I told them what you told me…I could only live without you for so long before something bad happened…but you promised that your working on a way to have me live fully without you…

 

 

 Everyone relaxed at that…but I felt…afraid…A life…without you…When we were alone, I voiced my fear to you…I pleaded and begged for you not to leave me…that I wouldn’t know what to do without you…You came out of my body, your light shining on our darkness and your warmth so comforting…I felt it…Your voice…it sounded…Beyond…but perfect…

 

 

 “As long as you wish Kris, I will never leave your side.  You can count on that”

 

 

 

 Then…came that day…that…Awful day…

 

 

 You…made sure all of us escaped…you were bleeding…the first time I saw you hurt…but you still smiled at me…reassuring me…

 

 

 We were all out of that Bunker…except you…

 

 

 

 I saw…You had a body…so bright…so many wings blocking the Dark from escaping…

I saw red leaking from your mouth, but you still smiled…

we were all watching, paralyzed with Fear, Horror, and Sadness…

 

 

 you only smiled, saying with a strained voice…that perfect voice…

 

 

 Azzy…Shoot your shot Buddy…

 

 December…Be more careful next time…

 

 Noelle…Be yourself…

 

 

 

 Kris…Thank you…for giving me the blessing…of being your friend…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The doors slammed shut…

 Azzy and Dess ran towards the doors, tears streaming from their eyes,

they tried to break it down…Nothing worked…

 

 Noelle had her hands to her mouth…Her eyes red with tears falling…

 

 

 One hand went to my chest, gripping it

tightly…it felt empty…lost…the other reached

towards the closed bunker…I could still hear

the broken words escape my trembling lips

 

 

 ”You…Promised…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Violently, I ripped the pretender out of my

chest…it hurt…it never hurt with…I

approached the cage and threw it in…

I made sure it hit the steel…It felt wrong…

 

 

 

 That pretender wasn’t MY Soul…It wasn’t MY

best friend…it wasn’t the one who helped

me…it wasn’t the one who loved me…it didn’t

warm me…it didn’t give me control…it only

wanted to play a STUPID game…

 

 

 

 Tolerate it…Soon…It will all be worth it…My

Soul…My Beloved friend…even with Dess and

Asriel off to College…even with Noelle

avoiding it… Even now with Susie wanting to

keep coming with me…it will all be worth it…

 

 

 

 “I will get you back…You promised you’d be with me…as long as I wished…

 

 My wish is still alive…I will get you back…”

 

 

 

 You…Promised…
 

Notes:

Basically the same as the beginning notes

 

Like I said, my first time writing a Oneshot, you can tell it needs improvements for an idea starter. But that’s why I invite actual writers to take the ideas I’ll put out and write on.

 

Edit: I’ve decided to add a profile of the Characters so that whoever makes these stories can have a grasp of what they can work with (this is only to help, you can add more to it if you wish)

 

Kris: They’ve become obsessed with getting back their Best Friend. Somehow, they knew how to make a Dark World and are now trying to find their “other half”

Mostly now reserved and quiet, the last words of their Friend haunt their every second, “Thank you…for giving me the blessing…of being your friend…”. This alone became their drive, their reason to keep going, all for them, to be with their Half again.

They have a strained relationship with Asriel and December over what happened, slightly blaming them (mostly Dess) for what happened to their Best Friend. Noelle being slightly absent since she claims to not remember the Soul, making them angry and pushing her away

 

Noelle: Since the Bunker, She’s blocked off any memory of the soul, for remember them causes her extreme distress. All she could remember was a gentle comfort akin to her Big Sister, a warm feeling that helped her whenever Dess was busy with Asriel or Kris.

 

Words haunt her every second, words that sound so familiar, “Be yourself”. She doesn’t know why these words stick with her, but they encourage her to be more open, more independent, and more like herself.

 

Noelle still has good relations with Azzy and Dess, still talking with them through the internet whenever possible. Kris though, constantly pushes her away, giving her a look of betrayal before walking away. She misses them deeply.

 

Asriel: After the Bunker, Asriel took Kris back to their home, seeing their younger sibling all quiet, their hand still gripping their chest. That was the last time he saw any real emotion from them, he tried to be with Kris as much as possible before going to College with December. Although he was hiding it, He deeply missed the Being that Kris called a friend, the reassurances and constant watch over them, like their own guardian angel…now gone because of them.

 

He still remembers the words to this day, “Shoot your shot Buddy” and he did. He and Dess actually started dating shortly after arriving in college, together, they slowly build themselves back up. Although he could still tell Dess was still thinking about their Friend…no matter the comforts he tried to provide his girlfriend, she’s still blaming herself for their friend being Lost. That doesn’t stop him from trying, as their late friend told him.

 

Asriel is December’s Boyfriend and still talks with Noelle when having time. He tried to talk with Kris, but that only lasted months before they stopped responding. He’s worried about his little Sibling.

 

December: ‘It should’ve been me’ The constant reminder that she was living while their friend was lost. After that day, She took Noelle back home and held her as Noelle started crying, begging for their friend to come back. The next day, Dess immediately went back to the Bunker alone, only to be unable to open it, despite inputting the code and trying to break the doors down. She heard footsteps and saw Kris, their eyes bloodshot, their hand still gripping their chest.

The words, apologies and begging and visceral Shouting were only heard by the two, both left the bunker, Dess looking back, remembering the playful protectiveness their friend had for them.

 

“Be more careful next time” Dess took those words to heart, while taking care of Noelle before leaving with Asriel for college. She became protective of Asriel, still daring and like herself, but now with more caution, constantly looking everywhere, being more careful. She refuses to let it happen again.

 

December is Asriel’s Girlfriend and still talks with her Little Sister, Kris is a very different story. She doesn’t blame them for their hatred, she only hopes she can earn their forgiveness one day. And that she can forgive herself, though that seems unlikely.
