It has been a long time since she was gone, but a short while since she was reported missing..
It was her own decision to leave.. It was in fact the first time she was able to choose for herself, to decide her fate..
It was tough for her, living a miserable life where she knew no one, and no one knew about her, even her parents didn't know her all that much, and never tried to..
It was the life of a normal girl in a normal family, but only the girl could tell the truth.. She knew that they hated her. They were mean and merciless, treated her cruelly and unfairly, made her life a living hell on purpose.. They'd lock her in the house, ordered her to clean the house on her own ever since she was still so young, despite being wealthy and would afford a house maid.. They'd beat her ferociously for no reason, throwing away everything she held dear, punishing her by giving her no food or making her stay out of the house even during rainy or snowy nights if she made any tiny mistake.. But she endured all of it and kept silent for long twelve years, suffering endless pain, sadness, grief..
It all led to her becoming mentally unstable, depression took over her, developing all kinds of phobia.
It all led to her beginning to fall into madness..
Yet, when her parents discovered her state awfully late, they took the chance to lock her away in a very separate room of the house, making it look legal with the help of a fake psychologist..
It all led to her being totally left behind, alone to be consumed by the darkness, slowly giving in to the voices inside of her head and to the illusions and hallucinations.. She would punch the wall and kick the metallic furniture, she would scratch her forehead so hard her skin would rip apart and bleed, she would shout loud and pull her hair till it'd cut off, but the voices never disappeared, never stopped frightening her, reminding her of her state, pushing her to put an end to her life.. Yet, in between of her rage crisis, she would regain some sanity due to being mentally and physically exhausted. She would sob quietly, whispering whatever her mind was wondering..
"Why did they lock me away?"
"Why didn't they try to help me instead?"
"Why were they so cruel when I did nothing wrong?"
"Why was everything happening to me, who only knew of life half of what an average twelve year old girl would?"
"Why was my fate dictated by my parents from the very beginning? Why couldn't I be my own master?"
She was still sane when they isolated her, this prison is what made her state of mind worse.. All she ever needed was care, kindness, love, the simple things a child would expect from his family, though she never asked, nor did she ever complain. She was forcing herself to accept the situation, always finding excuses and always being optimistic. She would always find a refuge, a way out, despite being an only child and having no one to lean on.
It was until she 'met' this someone, this shadowy child like creature, which she believed was her own creation, but still ignored that fact as he became her only friend, the only barrier to keep her from totally deteriorating her mental health.
She'd call him Purple Guy, as the shadow wasn't really black, what made him different from the others who tried to scare her. Although he didn't seem pleased with that name, he never complained..
She'd always talk to him, play with him, sleep while he watched over her and made sure nothing disturbed her, though he never actually spoke, showed up his face or even revealed his name.. However, they both didn't mind it, they comprehended each other with no need for words, and that's when she understood that he was there, that he was REAL..
It was until Purple Guy told her that they will never come back for her, that her parents abandoned her, even when she recovered a bit with his help.. Despite knowing that all along, she didn't want to believe it, it was already too much for her to handle.. But the genuine voice of Purple Guy made her no longer afraid or running away..
It was then when she admitted she couldn't stay there for the rest of her life and decided to find a way to escape. Being the smart kid she was, she figured out that the floor was easy to break since it was all worn out pieces of wood, and beneath it was fine soil that she could dig in a tunnel with her bare hands.. She worked hard digging for days, pausing each time she heard footsteps..
It was until she finally got out, on a quite night with only the moon in sight. She breathed in the fresh air and sighed deeply in relief for once.. Then she began running away, as far as possible, turning every now and then to make sure no one was following behind other than Purple Guy..
An hour later, she found herself in an empty park, so she sat down on a bench in order to collect herself, assimilate the situation and think of what to do next. She could spend the night but not live in there.. Not even didn't she know where she was but also she didn't know what to do. She felt helpless, even hopeless, and started to freak out, but Purple Guy assured her that he knew a nearby semi abandoned pizzeria where they could stay as long as they wanted to if nobody found out. She agreed to his suggestion and they both headed straight to their new destination: Freddy Fazzbear's Pizzeria.
