'So, being under the influence of my new friends has helped me quite a lot with language skills and mobility really. It's been helpful meeting Freddy and Bonnie, they really have been a great asset to me.'
Red was in the back room, thinking to himself as he usually would do. Not much else he could do at a time where his new friends were performing on stage. Red sighs, and looks at the ground. The feeling had been attacking him a lot lately, and was right now almost making him pass out from dizziness. Red sighs, and looks up to the ceiling, toward the dim light that illuminated the cold room. The music seemed to drain away as Red closed his eyes. He could hear voices, but they weren't of the children or the animatronics that were forced to be stood on stage.
'Can you hear me...?'
Red squinted with his eyes closed, he could hear this voice. It was calling to... someone, not sure if it was specifically going for him.
'Hello, anyone...?'
"I can hear you." Red whispered.
There was no response for a few moments, before the voice came again. It seemed a lot deeper... and closer, this time.
'So... you're name is Red? I was wondering that.'
"Who are you?" Red whispered again, his eyes still shut tightly.
'I'm you, Red, just... different.'
Red's eyes opened, and the drained music and signing voices came back to Red's ears. They twitched, and Red sighed. He felt insecure, like the voice had bad intentions. He looked up as a familiar sound came through.
"Hey kiddies, I hope you're all having a great time!"
A large excited shout erupted from the hundreds of kids inside of the Pizzeria, making Red smirk.
"Okay, great! Bonnie and I will be back in a few minutes, enjoy your pizza, and we will return soon!"
Red could hear the curtains draw, and the kids started to go back to their parents, who were sat down. Red stood up, and slunked over to the door quietly. He peeked through the gap, and examined the main hall. Nothing unusual popped up first off, but then Red noticed, someone who seemed out of place. A man was standing near the entrance to the back of the pizzeria, he had his arms folded over his black suit, and he wore a black hat covering his shaggy brown hair. His eyes flicked back and forth, before his eyes landed on Red. It wouldn't be surprising that he's seen Red, as his eyes glowed a constant white. Red retreaded into the back of the room, and the man looked away.
'He doesn't seem very prominent... and he seems out of place.' Red thought to himself.
'I'd better keep an eye on him...' Red suddenly felt drowsy. The sickening feeling had rushed to his head suddenly, and made him collapse to the floor. He held himself up with his arms before blacking out completely. There is a few moments of darkness, before Red's vision returns. He was face down in the black and white tiled floor. Red didn't have intentions of standing up, but for an odd reason, he did. Red thinks for a moment.
'Am I dreaming...?'
Red looks at his hands, and then up at the entrance. He never had intentions for these actions, and automatically assumed that he was dreaming with no control.
"Freedom." Is what comes out of Red's mouth. His eyes close, and then open again. His eye's changed from a metallic white to a deep, crimson red. A smirk crawls onto his mouth, revealing his large, shiny teeth, and he takes a few wobbly steps toward the door.
'I just have to wake up...'
"No you don't..." Red spoke up. Although, this voice didn't sound like Red. It was deeper, more menacing, and very scratchy. This wasn't Red, and he knew that.
'What is going on...!'
"You are no longer in control! I am." A laugh erupts from Red's mouth.
'This isn't right, who are you!' Red started to panic.
"I, Red. Am your worst, nightmare." The animatronic looked up, a dark aurora seemed to surround his red eyes.
Possessed Red walks out of the room and slams the door behind him. Making the room fall into silence. He looks at everyone who was in the pizzeria. Men, women and children were all staring at him, frozen in fear.
The possessed Red scans the room, looking for someone in particular.
Possessed Red's eyes lock onto a young man. He had a red hoodie on, and jeans with non branded sneakers. His face was white with fear as possessed Red's eye locked onto him.
'What are your intentions, TELL ME!'
"Pain." Is all possessed Red says, before lunging at the young man, and grabbing his throat. The crowd screams and scatters as Red lifts the man into the air. The young man struggled, kicking his legs about and holding possessed Red's arm. He coughed as the animatronic applied pressure to the man's throat, crushing it slowly. At this point the pizzeria was almost empty. The stage's curtain is swung open before Freddy charges at possessed Red. He knocks into the much taller animatronic with all his might, throwing the man from Red's powerful grip. Bonnie attended to the man as Freddy is pushed off of possessed Red.
"RED! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Freddy yelled at him, not letting up.
"I AM CLEANSING THIS PLACE OF HUMAN LIFE, LIFE THAT IS NOT NEEDED!" Possessed Red shouts, laughing maniacally.
Freddy charges possessed Red, before something strange happens. Possessed Red holds his breath, and quite literally disappears, his body gone form sight. Freddy grinds to a hault, and looks around, completely dumbfounded, Bonnie was tending to the man as the police, and medical people came rushing in. Bonnie leaves the man to be cared for by the people who were much more better suited for the job.
'How did you do that...?' Red spoke up inside of possessed Red's head.
'Priorities, Red. You and I both want to survive. It's an instinct.'
Red falls silent, before trying something. He tries to move his body suddenly and with great force. Making him nauseous, yet he carried on. The possessed Red falls to the ground, his cloaking ability fades, and his large body once again becomes visible. He was in the darker area of the restaurant.
The possessed Red collapses to the ground, and Red feels himself come back into control. He quickly stands, and does the same thing that he watched himself do earlier, hold his breath. His body disappeared, and he felt cold. He shivered, and looked at his hands. He could still see himself, but knew no one could see him.
"Why did you do this...?" He quietly asks the voice in his head.
'I am your worst nightmare, I've already told you.'
"Well then, I'll just call you Nightmare. And you're never coming back again, not on my watch."
'We shall see Red. We shall see...' Nightmare laughs, before his voice fades away.
Red shivers, before appearing again. He didn't dare show hid face to Freddy or Bonnie. They wouldn't understand. Red waits, before quietly slipping through the doorway and closing the door behind him.
'So, Red has found a name for me? It's pretty suitable, you know...'
'From the moment he used that invisibility, I could tell he immediately started draining of his physical and mental strength.'
'This could be a good advantage for me.'
'For now, I'll just try and keep his sorrow up.'
'I will be Red's Lament...'
