A/N: Ahahaha, indeed, it's time to return to the pizzeria. Melany's VERY shaken in this chapter, equal to how she was just after the murders happened.
Melany wasted no time.
She sprinted back.
"Something's wrong! I got through, but something is really, really, really wrong! I heard a lot of screaming, and yelling, and things breaking, and people calling for help, and-"
"Woah, woah, calm down!"
"We have to go back there, now!"
"I don't think that's a very good idea. I mean-"
"My siblings are in trouble! I have to help!" Melany's voice rose, both in fear and desperation.
"That isn't a good idea right now! We don't even know what's happening!" Riku tried to reason with Melany, but instead did the exact opposite.
"My sister is NEVER that panicked!" Melany shot back. "She usually doesn't even get upset!"
"There's got to be some kind of explanation-"
"We have to go. Now."
"It's not safe!"
"It wasn't safe last time you went there, so why should it be any different now?"
"I...Fair point. Alright, we'll go."
"Thank you," Melany mumbled.
And so the adventure began again as the three friends headed back to Freddy's.
Painful images flashed inside Melany's mind as they arrived.
Memories of her death, of all those years alone, fear, pain, grief...
She shook her head, clearing it.
I have to focus.
"Let's split up. We'll regroup later," Melany said.
"Alright," Riku agreed.
Sora nodded. "Got it."
And so, the trio split up, unknowingly making a huge mistake.
Melany saw the shadow of her brother on the wall...At least, what she thought was the shadow of her brother.
"Adam! Thank goodn-"
But when Adam sprang at her, his eyes lacking any form of recognition or emotion, she knew something was horribly, horribly wrong.
She thrashed violently, struggling, but he had her pinned with strength she didn't even know he had. It was a moment of complete panic, and it didn't help that he was now dragging her somewhere, not saying a word.
"Adam! Snap out of it!" Melany cried, struggling in vain to get away.
He was holding on too tightly...
And when they arrived at their destination, Melany's heart sank.
