Felix's P.O.V.
"Mom! Stop it, I look fine!" I whined at my mother's attempt to fix my bowtie. Today me and her would go to the local pizzeria place for one of my friends birthday party. His name was Gavin, but for some reason he convinced everybody to call him Goldie. I don't know why, but out of all of us in my group of friends, he's always been the oddball, but I don't mind since he's a really nice guy.
"Stop whining, I need to make sure my little baby is looking his best." My mother said giving my bowtie a good squeeze.
"Mom, I'm not a baby anymore! I'm 13!" I remarked. I really hate it when people treat me as if I was still a little kid, when I'm obviously not. Maybe it's due to my height.
"I know, but you're growing so fast. I'm my heart you'll always be my little baby." She said grabbing my cheek and giving me a heartwarming smile. She always knew what to say and how to make me smile.
"Now, let's get going, if not, we're going to miss Gavin's birthday party, and I know you wouldn't like that." My mom said grabbing her purse from the counter and getting out her keys.
I nodded and quickly headed out the door, grabbing a bag that was next to the door and waited for my mom, who was closing our front door. My mom unlocked the car and I sat in the back seat, while my mom sat in the drivers seat.
With a quick turn of the wrist, the car quickly turned on, the humming of the engine soon settling down. My mom drove out of our drive-through and into the road, quickly heading towards the pizzeria.
Within a few minutes my mom parked in an empty space in the pizzeria parking lot. "Ok, we're here. Did you grab the gift?" My mom asked looking at me through the front mirror.
"Check." I said raising the bag up so that she could see it through the front mirror.
"Then let's get going. You don't want to keep your friends waiting, don't you?" She said opening the door and steeping outside the car. I soon followed her out and shut the door. Me and my mom starting making our way to the pizzeria, not before my mom locked her car.
As we got in, the sweet scent of pizza and cake engulfed the air, making me really happy for some reason. "Look Felix, Gavin is over there. How about you go and give him his gift." She said pointing to the little blonde haired kid that was Gavin. I looked over to where she was pointing, only to see a bit of Gavin's hair and face.
Out of all of my friend, Gavin was the smallest, with me coming in as a close second. I hated being one of the smallest, it kinda made me feel vulnerable for some strange reason.
I shrugged the thought away and walked over to Gavin, touching his shoulder, causing him to look back at me. A smile soon appeared on his face. "Happy Birthday, Gavin!!" I shouted holding up my gift to him.
"Thank you, Felix!" Gavin shouted back, giving me a tight hug, which I just hugged back. Yeah, for some reason, me and this little guy have been somewhat close.
We released from our hug and I gave him his gift. "So, where are the others?" I asked looking around.
"Bryan is in the arcade room, Celeste is playing with the animatronics and Frederick is probably bumming around somewhere." Gavin said, going slightly less excited as he talked about Frederick.
I can't explain how, but even though Gavin and Frederick are brothers, they are complete polar opposite. Gavin was the one who would constantly be smiling and helping anybody whenever they needed it, while Frederick wad gloomy and never really smiled that much. It kinda made me sad sometime whenever I looked at him just to see him frowning or being bummed out.
"I'll go and try and see if I can find them. Again, Happy Birthday." I said as I started to make my way over to the arcade room to see if I could find Bryan. Me and him were never that close, but we had fun whenever he stopped being an egotistical jerk.
I spotted Bryan jumping and screaming while smashing the buttons on one of the arcade machine. I walked over to him and greeted him. "Hey Bryan." I said, now being next to him.
He didn't look my way, I'm sure he didn't even here me, knowing how he is when he's playing a game. "Hey Bryan!" I tried one more time. Nothing. Bryan was to wrapped up in his game to actually notice my presence.
An idea quickly ran through my head. I took a deep breathe and shouted, "Hey Bryan!!" While shaking him on the shoulders.
Bryan screamed and lost hold of the buttons, causing him to die and get a game over. He noticed that he got a game over and looked at me furiously. "What the hell, Felix! I was about to beat my high score!" He shouted.
"Well, I wouldn't have screamed if you weren't a complete video game zombie." I remarked crossing my arms.
"What did you call me?" Bryan said starting to get a little annoyed.
"A video game zombie!" I said sticking my tongue out at him.
"Why you little!" Bryan said trying to grab me, but I quickly avoided him and started running out of the arcade room. "Come back here!" He shouted starting to chase me around the pizzeria.
I have to say, Bryan sure is fast. We were running all around until Bryan finally got me, but as he got a hold of me we both fell onto the floor, him on top of me.
Me and Bryan just looked at each other before starting to laugh like maniacs. Bryan got off of me and offered me a hand. I gladly took it and he pulled me up to my feet.
"I'm beat, want to go get something to drink?" He asked pointing over to the soda machines. I nodded, with a dumb looking smile on my face.
As we were heading there I heard I loud squeak behind me. "Oh no." I said preparing for what was to come. Soon, something sent me back onto the ground.
"Felix!! You came!!" Shouted a female voice, almost leaving me deaf, I swear, this girl could scream so loud even the other side of the world could hear her as if she was right there next to them.
"Celeste, get off of me! You're killing me!" I yelled, feeling as if an elephant had stepped on me.
"I'm not that heavy. You're such a whiner." Celeste said getting off of me.
"I am not!" I said getting up and them facing her.
"Yes you are, you're always whining about everything." Celeste said crossing her arms.
"No I don't!" I pouted at her. Do I really whine about everything?
"Felix, you do. Right Bryan." Celeste said looking over at Bryan who was finishing getting himself a drink.
"Oh no, you're not going to get me involved in one of your little arguments. Last time you got me involved, it ended up with Gavin crying, Frederick punching through a wall, and me with a twisted ankle!" Bryan denied, talking a sip from his drink.
"Oh don't be such a baby, it wasn't that bad." Celeste scoffed not looking at me or Bryan now.
"Wasn't that bad? I was in crutches for two weeks! And if you didn't remember correctly, Frederick didn't want to talk to us for almost a month!" Bryan said getting next to me.
Yeah, I remember that day.
Flashback
"I'm telling you Felix, you need to stop acting so childish all the time." Celeste said sitting on a chair.
"But I like acting like a kid." I protested, talking a bite out of my burger.
"But if you don't, we might not hang with you anymore, right Bryan?" Celeste remarked, taking out her burger from a bag.
"What!" I shouted feeling as if my heart was going to be shattered into a million pieces. She isn't serious, is she? They're my friends right?
"She's right, we wouldn't want to be hanging around a kid who still thinks he's five years old." Bryan said, throwing himself into our conversation.
"But you act like a kid too!" I shouted at Bryan.
"He is right you know. And that's pretty cruel for you guys to stop hanging around Felix just because he likes to have some fun." Frederick said out of nowhere. He would never get into these types of arguments, so he really surprised me that he was backing me up.
"Fun? He runs around waving a pirate hook and wears an eye patch!" Bryan mentioned.
"What's wrong with having a bit of imagination?" Frederick questioned sitting next to me.
"Yeah, at least I have a sense of fun, not the type that is done in front of a TV all day." I said crossing my arms.
"Shut it." Bryan said sternly.
"Don't talk to him like that." Frederick said seriously, giving Bryan a death stare.
"What are going to do about it, you depressed loner!" Bryan shouted.
At that the room went silent, and I could hear Frederick growling next to me. Gavin, being the innocent guy he is, tried to intervene before things got chaotic. "Guys, calm down, we're friends, please don't-" He couldn't even finished since he was interrupted by Bryan and Frederick.
"Stay out of this, Gavin!" Frederick and Bryan shouted at the same time with rage present in their faces.
That was one of the first times they've ever screamed at him. I could see how Gavin's eyes started to tear up a little. I quickly stood up from my chair and ran to comfort him.
I looked angrily at Frederick and Bryan. "Don't scream at him. You know how sensitive he is!" I said hugging Gavin and rubbing his back, trying to get him to calm down.
I could see in Freddy's eyes the anger boiling up inside of him. What did I do? I didn't do anything wrong. Out of nowhere Frederick stood up and walked up to a wall, screaming and then sending his fist straight through it.
All four of us just stood there paralyzed. Did that really just happen? Did Frederick really just punch through the wall? I could see a little bit of blood coming out of his fist as he moved his fist out of the wall.
Frederick seemed to calm down a little, but he just gave us all a serious hateful look before leaving upstairs to his room. We all regained movement once we heard a door being slammed shut.
"D-did he just..." I said, still trying to process what just happened, still holding on to Gavin.
I looked over at Bryan, rage starting to boil up in me. "Why did you call him that!?" I asked with a angry look.
"Hey, its no my fault the guy is a total bummer and like to be alone." Bryan scoffed taking a sip out of his drink.
At that, something in me snapped. I let go off Gavin and walked over to Bryan, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and making him look at me. "You know what he's been through, and you still called him that! How cruel and insensitive must you be to do something as horrible as that! Now, you're going to go up there and apologize to him, either you like it or not! Got it!" I said, my grip on his collar becoming tighter.
I could feel all of their eyes on me, probably in disbelief of my little tantrum there. Bryan just nodded and I let him go, walking over to Gavin, who had the most worried look out of all of them. "Don't worry Gavin, everything is going to be fine." I reassured him, ruffling his hair a little.
Quickly, a smile grew on his face, and he jumped towards me, giving me a tight hug. "Thank you, Felix." Gavin whispered into my ear.
"Don't worry about it." I whispered back, wrapping my arms around him and returning the hug.
Flashback End
After that, Bryan went upstairs to apologize, but Frederick didn't respond or open the door. He soon walked down the stairs and tripped, breaking his ankle in the process. Ah sweet, sweet Karma.
I was brought out of my thoughts by Gavin jumping on me hugging me. "Felix, we're about to cut the cake, let's go!" Gavin said in his cheerful self.
I chuckled and hugged him back. I let him go and a big golden bear with a big chocolate cake approached us. "It's time for the birthday boy to get his cake. Follow me kids." He said cheerfully. Me, Gavin, Celeste, and Bryan followed the golden bear through the pizzeria until we arrived at a back room.
I heard the door close behind us once all of us got in. We all looked back to the golden bear, who dropped the cake onto the floor. I saw how a frown formed on Gavin's face. A man dressed in all purple came out of the golden bear suit, and all of us got worried as he got a knife out of nowhere.
He approached us slowly, and out of instinct I got in front of Gavin. "F-Felix?" Gavin said scared, looking at me with his eyes getting watery.
"Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you." I said looking back at the purple man with a death stare.
Bryan out of nowhere charged the purple man, hitting him in the stomach. The purple man didn't flinch, he just raised the knife and impaled Bryan in the back.
My eyes widened when I saw the crimson red blood spurt out of his body and onto the ground. Bryan slowly fell onto the ground until he landed on a pool of his own blood.
I saw Celeste in completely shock and her face full of fear and panic. "Bryan!!!" She said running towards Bryan's limp body.
"Celeste, wait!!" I shouted reaching out for her, but she just ran towards Bryan without a seconds thought. Celeste was about to reach Bryan, but a knife impaled her in the chest.
A smirk appeared on the purple man's face. "Two down, two more to go." The purple man said, his voice being deep and sinister, making a shiver go down my spine. I saw how Celeste slowly fell next to Bryan's body. Both their pools of blood mixing with one another, and both their bodies becoming limp and lifeless.
I could feel Gavin behind me, shaking violently. "Gavin, don't worry, I promise, I'll protect you." I said a little scared myself.
I look over at the purple man, who's devilish smirk just grew with each step he took. The door from where we came suddenly slammed open, and there at the doorframe stood a shock Frederick.
Frederick looked over at Bryan and Celeste who were next to each other, lifeless and not moving. He then looked over at me and Gavin, who were looking right back at him with fear and a bit of relief now that he was there.
"You bastard!" Frederick shouted charging at the purple man, eyes filled with pure hatred and anger. Frederick connected a punch to the purple mans face, which made him stutter back a little.
The man quickly returned the punch and Frederick went flying across the room. "Frederick!" I said running towards him to see if he was alright.
He coughed up some blood and seemed to not be able to stand up. "Frederick, are you ok?" I asked worriedly.
Frederick just pointed, and I looked back to see the purple man approaching Gavin who was stuck in place, tears streaming down his face and a look of pure terror in his eyes.
At that moment my legs acted on their own and I started running towards him.
The purple man raised his knife, ready to give the killing blow.
My eyes began to water as I saw the knife starting to make it's way down to Gavin's chest.
Soon, a cold and piercing feeling went through my chest. I looked down only to see a knife impaling my body.
Frederick out of nowhere tackled the man and sent him straight towards the wall and him falling onto the ground.
"Felix!!" Gavin shouted seeing me collapse onto the ground. I felt cold, the pain was cruising all over my body as if I was hit by a thousand needles.
My sight was begining to become blurry and I saw Gavin kneel down next to me, a waterfall of tears streaming down his face. A gave him a smile to tell him I was fine. "S-see... I... T-told you... That I-I... Would... P-protect you..." I said, tears now streaming down my face and mixing with the pool of crimson that had developed around me.
"Felix, please don't die!! Please!!" Gavin pleaded, grabbing one of my hand and crying onto my chest.
"D-don't... Worry... A-about it... I-I'm not g-going... Anywhe... " Was the last thing I said before my sight became completely dark and I lost all of my strength.
That was the day were it all happened. They day we were killed and were reborn as something else. We didn't choose to be like this, but now we have to live with it for the rest of our lives.
To be continued...
