I have intended for this story for a while. I came up with a few different versions, But I decided to refer back to the gameplay of FNAF 4, where the player was inside a house trying to defend themselves. I'll try to make this strong.

Part 1

Flashing. That's what he saw in the mirror. It was almost seizure inducing for Felix; who had never had one in his life.

It disturbed him, even thought the bathroom light was off, light was disturbing him, his skin was paler than usual, dark circles had perfectly painted across the bottom of his eyelids. He was in his pyjamas. He was awake; but he didn't want to be. It was still 2:34 and the time was crawling slowly, much like his skin, which was itchy. He felt like things had been scraping up and down his arms all night. His eyelids were puffy and his head was begging for sleep, but he was still bothered by the non existing light. It was almost burning into his eyes in a sense. This was the fifth night it had happened and he had been trying to get back to sleep for hours. He woke up at 11:23 after only being bed for an hour. He tried sleep meds, counting sheep, listening to music, watching an American history video (which always sent him to slumber in his history class when he was 16), he even tried reading a book, which just made his head hurt.

He was not going to ask his father to help him. He was peacefully asleep and had been unaware Felix was not getting sufficient sleep. The very thing Felix hated was disturbing people when they slept because he was the type who wasn't a morning person, his dad was like that too; cranky when woken up for no good reason. He also wasn't going to call anyone, he shouldn't ruin other peoples sleep just because he couldn't sleep.

Felix decided to search for a herbal spray, which might calm him enough to rest, so he switched on the light and he momentarily groaned and covered his blood shot eyes. He looked in the mirror and his eyes widen, not because he saw his appearances but because he saw writing on the wall which said; "REVO EMAG"

He turned to the wall but it was no where to be found. Now he didn't even feel safe in his own home. Maybe he should stay up for a while until he completely calmed down and his mind would be ready for sleep.

That while turned into all night, Felix's father Ben was up by 8, he looked refreshed, Felix tried everything again; counting sheep, boring videos, music, reading, herbal sprays, cups of tea. But he decided to get out of bed. Still sleepy.

It was a struggle to keep his eyes open, even having his daily shower, he felt dizzy, he had to lend on the glass, worried he was going to collapse. When he got dressed. He was putting on his shirt when he began to yawn, a clear sign he was tired but he knew going to sleep was pointless, his father would tell him he needs to work. Sleep didn't come anyway.

This time it did. But indeed of it being welcoming. It was gruesome. Felix collapsed on the floor of his bedroom, in a few minutes he was whimpering and whining. He felt his skin being snatched at by something sharp. Tears came to his eyes, he saw scenes of red and dead bodies laid all around him, he felt their last dying pains. How much they hurt and bleed, and how much they screamed. Which was projected into him.

Ben wheeled his wheelchair into the room when he heard Felix screaming for no apparent reason and he hadn't responded to if he wanted any breakfast. He too himself, shrieked when he saw Felix was surrounded by a puddle of his own blood and wounds were randomly appearing all up his arms and legs, they looked like vicious animal snatches.

"FELIX! Felix get up!" He cried shaking him hard. Felix was still screaming, like he was trapped. Ben felt helpless as a father and as a person.

"I'm here! I'm here!" Ben heard the door open and Marionette came running in. He didn't ask why he was there because he seemed to want to wake Felix up. It seemed perfectly timed but he left it alone because the concept of magic would keep him up at night.

"It's just a nightmare! You can fight it!" Marionette told him shaking him as hard as he possibly could, "tell the difference between reality and dreams! Ben check the house."

"Why?" Ben inquired.

"Do it now!" Ben wheeled away and looked around, unsure of what to look for, until he saw a shadow that didn't belong to him and it was shaped quite bizarrely, he shrieked and it vanished. Once it was gone, he heard Felix coughing and he came back, he saw Felix was awake but shaking frighten.

"It's alright now. It's getting so severe now." Marionette told him.

"What the fuck's going on?" Felix observed his arms and saw snatches down them.

"Nothing yet. Everything's fine again. You need water and bandaids." Marionette grabbed his hands and lifted him up, seeing that he was so shaky and jittery.

"I saw monsters." Felix explained as Marionette walked him towards the kitchen.

"I know. They are so frightening they feel real."

Felix shook his head.

"Well that's because they actually are real." Felix's eyes widen.

"What is going on with my son Marionette?!"

"Nightmare has benched the barrier. He now lurks in this house. Your body is fighting to stay awake for a good reason. Sleep means death." Marionette made him sit down on a seat then gave him a glass of water, "you must stay awake for as long as possible."

"Not gonna happen Marionette,"

"Until Night. That's how long." Marionette grabbed his arm and began to wrap a bandage up his arm. It still disturbed him.

"I can't last Marionette!" Felix screeched panicked.

"I know. We need to call people who have seen death."

"Seen death? Why?" Felix asked confused.

"If you have seen death. You see Nightmare." He explained it like it was so simple but Felix was overwhelmed and confused by everything.

"Who the fuck is Nightmare?!" Felix asked frighten.

"Oh no! This was all over Marionette! Antonius promised me-!" Ben snapped at him.

"What you knew?!" Felix angrily glared at him, "You knew I was having horrible nightmares?!"

"I've known for a while. Nightmare is a predator. Seeking your blood. He tried to Ben before you existed. Nightmare can be seen in the real world if you have seen death. Which case, we all have. But we need more help. Terrance should be included." Marionette explained.

"I-is that thing here now?" Felix looked around for anything that appeared out of place. This was the last thing he needed to hear; a scary creature was chasing him that would kill him when he slept. Yes. It was a great way to keep him up.

"Not at the moment. But He'll come back. He always does." Marionette spoke in a low tone as he finished bandaging Felix's arm. Felix could tell that Marionette was referring to some sort of darkness. Felix always believed he was never out of the dark, after Finn vanished and his mother died. Everything seemed darker. He began to wonder about Nightmare.

"Don't overwork yourself with the thoughts." Marionette warned him, Felix stared at him confused. He should have excepted it.
