*Frisk's POV*

At night I remembered hearing voices.

Sleep was a rare thing for me, and when it came it was hardly comfortable.

My arms had turned to almost bone.

My stomach was weak and growling to keep me awake.

I was loosing all my hope, my determination.

Everything I was, began to disappear, and I could feel nothing but sickness and regret.

Of course.

Regret.

That sick word that had followed me my entire life.

Every situation I had done, lead me down that path of guilt.

Was there anything I could do besides mess up?

At first I thought that there were choices I could make, that would lead me down the right path, possibly take away the regret and pain.

But as I look back on it, I realize that there is nothing to keep me from feeling this way.

There was nothing to keep me from falling apart.

'You are falling apart,' I told myself, my mind no longer fighting on what to think or say, my mind now accepting the failure and depression that raked through me. 

No... rake isn't the right word.

These feelings weren't forceful, and it was because I wasn't fighting back.

They flowed through me, like a river stream in my blood, filling me with a blue sadness that wouldn't leave me alone.

Somehow, the flowing felt worse.

Giving up didn't feel like anything at all actually.

All it felt like was more emptiness.

Though I didn't fight my own emotions, and my thoughts.

I accepted my still dripping love for G, I accepted that I was beaten and put in a dungeon, ready to crack any second.

Everything I had accepted, and I knew that nothing would ever change in that empty dungeon.

I'd eat.

I'd sleep.

I'd cry soft tears while I thought about my confession to G.

More regret.

I'd drink.

I'd eat.

Repeat.

Everything seemed like a simple cycle, yet the cycle would make me thin, and my skin was a terrible pale.

Escaping seemed like nothing now.

Even if I managed to try something, I was too weak to even move.

I was too weak to even breathe.

My breaths came out in ragged whimpers, that hung in the thin air around me, the black stone seeming darker even with the small blue light that shined through the tiny square bars in the corner behind me.

Those were too small for me to fit through.

I was chained up and had no way of getting to them.

It was too high for me too reach.

And I was so weak and frail, standing wouldn't be an option.

'You have no way to escape...' I continued to tell myself, letting the thoughts run inside me with the weakness that already began to spread, 'You have failed and lost... What's the point in trying anymore?'

All I could answer myself with was shutting my eyes and letting my numb arms hang lifelessly in chains.

'Thought so...'

The words stung.

'I thought so...'

They tore me apart.

Memories swam to me slowly, letting their fading images cloud my eyes along with tears I hardly even knew were there.

'You've lost all your determination...' I told myself, afraid to even peek at my soul which felt lifeless and cold.

Oh so cold...

Everything I struggled to be, was falling apart.

Except that one night when I had heard voices.

In my dream, is where I heard them, and they sounded like soft whispering mumbles that were too hard to put into words.

Though they were familiar, and close.

The words were almost so strong it was as if I was saying them myself, in the dark dream that had no light or images at all.

Only soft voices that tickled the air.

When I had woken up it was a slow, groggy awakening.

It was a strange dream, and I couldn't afford thinking about it when I remembered the day before when I had told G my love for him.

When he walked away...

The thought turned the dream to dust, and it faded into my memories along with the others that still tried to cling to my mind.

More than anything, I wanted G to at least say something to me.

Except he had walked away.

One question still bugged me, but only a little bit when I was hardly thinking.

'Why do you still love him?'

A normal question to ask my feelings, except they would never answer.

It was as if they had a fake determination of their own, and they were trying to hold onto an invisible rope that would lead to their happiness.

The rope was tied around my neck, and the more my emotions held on the more they strangled me.

Those voices hadn't bugged me, and they never came back to me until at the end of the week Asriel came on one of his visits.

That was the day he began beating me.

"My dear princess~" He cooed as he walked into the dungeon, Leah's eyes glancing at us while he came in, "The world knows of your arrival, and they are waiting to hear what you have to say... Do you really wish to keep them waiting?"

This time, I didn't answer, and I kept my head down with my eyes glancing up through my hair, looking at Asriel just to see his hideous smirk.

Why I had wanted to see it? 

I wanted to see the satisfaction burn into flames when I didn't answer.

Though my eyes also noticed Leah glancing in, her eyes narrowed and watching.

It was so tempting to tattle on her, tell Asriel she was listening in like a spy who needed information.

Knowing Leah never left her post, I knew she couldn't tell anyone about anything.

Unless I was there listening to her.

So naturally, I knew she wasn't a spy.

Though it would be quite interesting to see how Asriel would react...

When I didn't answer the first time, my eyes flicked back to Asriel who's mouth was twitching with irritation.

"... My princess..." He snarled in a low voice, trying to keep it cheery and sweet, "It would be much easier if you would just agree and accept this proposal..."

Still, there was silence.

Feeling both eyes on me, made me feel a slight discomfort in my stomach, except I still didn't say anything even as Asriel took a step closer to me.

All I wanted to do was get away from him.

Except with loss of determination, loss of feeling besides emptiness, I didn't care about anything anymore.

Thinking of G made it worse, so I tried not to do that anymore too.

So I kept my mind as empty as my heart, and kept my eyes looking blankly at the Prince while my hair still covered my face.

"... Well?!" Asriel demanded impatiently, his hands clenching and his smirk turning into a growling snarl.

Being used to this behavior, I stayed silent.

That's when the hit came.

Instead of a slap, like he had done to me before, this was an uppercut punch that clacked my jaw together, making me bite my tongue and cry out with pain.

It was a short cry, but a sharp and painful one that broke through the silence like the crack of my jaw.

Pain was almost nothing, except it was still there, and it spread up my cheeks and through my mouth, along with the metallic taste of blood and the slick liquid of it.

It dripped from my mouth, and even with the pain that made my jaw fall limp and my head fall back down, my throat trying to gulp but trying to scream at the same time, I stayed silent.

Once again, Asriel was furious at my lack in response, and he slapped me, blood spraying to the side and from my mouth as my tongue bled.

That's when my eyes caught Leah, who was staring straight at the scene as if she wasn't trying to make it a secret at all.

Her green eyes stared intently, taking in every bit of knowledge she could.

In normal circumstances, I would be angry, except with my determination like dust, and my jaw slacking with pain, all I could do was stare back at her in blank agony while Asriel grabbed my jaw and turned me to face him.

"You will answer a Prince when he speaks to you..." He snarled, his face so close to mine I could feel his hot breath on my nose.

Though once again, I was silent, unable to find any words to say.

Unwilling to find any words to say.

Another punch to the left.

Another slap to the right.

Then he kicked me in the stomach so hard I felt the blood rise through me and shoot from my mouth as my back hit the wall, pins and needles spreading up my weak arms again as my body trembled from fatigue.

I was already feeling fatigue, and I hadn't done anything except struggle to breathe.

Thinking about pain made it worse, so I tried to let my eyes focus on the shinny boot that was still against my stomach, holding me to the wall with a strong pressure. 

Asriel was beating me, and I couldn't even gather enough strength to say a word.

Ten minutes had never felt so long before.

And after they were done, the blood that covered the floor and my clothes, would remain as dry scars to memories of the Prince's beating.

Though he didn't stop there.

Two more weeks had passed, and at the end of each week, Asriel would meet with me, ask me, then beat me when I never replied.

Each day that passed, I would feel worse and worse, and feel my soul turn colder and colder.

On the second week, Asriel had even brought G.

With my thoughts turned to mush, and my body covered in scars and bruises, all I could remember hearing and seeing was Asriel walking in while Leah asked, "Prince G! You are down so soon I-"

"I came voluntary, thinking it may be more effective if I'm here," He interrupted, his eyes staring at hers with a seriousness that was almost like a warning.

After that, she shut her mouth, and nodded once to his statement before standing straight at her post.

Asriel seemed to growl at G's comment, and I wondered if he knew about my love for G.

I got my answer soon enough, and it made me realize that if Asriel did know, G would be dead and his bones would probably decorate the dinning hall.

Or the dungeons.

"Why would it be more effective?" He growled, glancing at G with a childish anger.

"Two men of authority, makes a weak gal scared, don't ya think?" G smirked and I felt my stomach flip as I quickly adverted my eyes.

Did he see my bruises and scars?

Did he see the pain in my weak bones?

Did he even notice me at all?

Of course, noticing wasn't the problem, because Asriel beat me there too, and still, G did nothing except glance at Leah every once and a while.

They would glance at each other, both their eyes narrowed and serious while Asriel beat me and demanded an answer.

I always stayed silent.

Realizing that G would never care about me, made me try and forget everything he had ever said that made me for one slight second believe he cared.

He was just as selfish as the Prince.

Why didn't I ever listen to myself?

After the beatings, Asriel and G would leave without another word, and I would notice one last sharing glance of G and Leah before the two Princes left.

For some reason, that angered me.

Too weak and beaten to speak, too bloody and shaken to move, I never was able to ask Leah on why her and G would glance at each other.

Or why she would only answer in a shrug to the guards that gave her news.

Or why at some nights in my dreams I heard soft whispering voices.

Except it angered me, and I had never hated Leah more then those moments.

What was going on between her and G?

I knew it was just jealousy talking, and I realized there was nothing I could do, so the jealously turned to a blank failure that I just ignored.

Soon, it disappeared completely, and I ignored the looks that Leah and G gave each other.

They seemed like more serious looks then the looks I was thinking about.

For the next month, G would come with Asriel and the Prince would beat me while G watched and glanced away at some times.

Luckily, my food began to double, and it tasted better then before.

Then, I would notice Leah eating less on her own plate.

The old slop wasn't there anymore, and I came to realize that Leah was giving me some of her own food, and didn't seem to mind.

Though she didn't seem kind about it either.

She still shoved it in my mouth and made me swallow.

At least she was giving me full cups of water now.

Strength came back only a weak sliver, except it was enough to keep me alive.

Perhaps it was just Asriel trying to make me stay breathing so he could trick me and beat me.

It only got worse and worse until I could no longer take it.

One day, Asriel walked into my cell, and G was right behind him.

I could see G stay back, behind the bars as only Asriel walked in, his black cloak swaying against the stone as he walked to me with another one of his snarls.

When I saw G whispering to Leah, his eyes glaring seriously and Leah's head nodding only slightly, barley enough to notice, I felt something snap.

My head weakly looked up to see Asriel's hand raise, ready to come down on my face for the one thousandth time and hurt me.

Beat me.

Break me.

I was done with the tears.

Done with the pain.

I was done trying to deal with all of the sickness inside me.

All my determination was dust, and my soul felt so weak and cold it was like ice in chains.

There was nothing more I could do, and I took a shuttering breath and stopped Asriel with two word that just shot from my mouth weakly and shaking with every dry and sobbing crack I-

"I do..."

The words shocked everyone into silence.

They stopped Asriel's blow, and G's wide eyes were on me, his stare shaking and cold.

Almost afraid.

Leah's mouth was open as if she was in mid-sentence, and Asriel's cold blue eyes stared at me for a very, very long time.

Sick of the still empty silence, sick of everything I cried out in all my bottled up emotion and pain, "I DO! I AGREE TO YOUR PLAN I DO!"

My words were laced with emotion, and I could feel it crack each word in my shaking voice as tears rolled down my face that was chipped with dry blood.

"I DO! I WILL! I WILL DO ANYTHING JUST-JUST," My voice broke into sobs and I could feel myself fall as I cried weakly and desperately, "Just stop hu-hurting me..."

Another long, long, pause that was filled with my tears.

I took quick deep breaths and looked at Asriel, straight in the eye to make him know I was serious.

Then I said strong and clearly:

"I. Do."
