Hei: What's been happening?
FireCacodemon: Nothing much. So just enjoy the next chapter, have fun with it...I guess?
Chapter 8:
Fear and Conscious
Hei returned back to his little camp in the ceiling and removed the mask off his face. His eyes had returned back to normal but the wires and metal on his face could easily be removed. Sitting down in the corner he slowly removed the wires and metal off his face. They were stuck to his face to make sure that they didn't come off while he was pretending to be a robot like the animatronics were. His mind drifted to what happened with the first encounter with Golden Freddy.
Flashback
Hei had turned to leave the golden bear alone; the bear had done one thing that many others had failed to do. That bear costume gave him fear. Fear was something that he gave to everyone else. They feared the Black Reaper and if they saw him then they paled and froze on the spot until he was out of their sight or if they were his targets, dead on the floor with their bodies fried on the inside. No damage done on the outside and if he gave a damn about them, shut their eyes and it looked like they were sleeping. That was the fear he gave to people not some animatronic suit giving him fear. The sound of a giggling child echoed through the empty west hallway and felt his whole body go into lock down as the paw landed on his shoulder. His mind was still buzzing but his whole body went like a ragdoll...like he was paralysed. His contractor mind shut down leaving the feeling of fear running chaotically in his mind, he was going to die here! Something he could have easily stopped by leaving the following morning! But then he would be leaving Misaki here by herself...he shouldn't care about her. She was a cop and he was her prey. It was always going to be like that, nothing more...nothing less.
With a simple blink, he was facing Golden Freddy's eyeless sockets. A sick, blood-dripping smile was plastered on the bear's face as tiny white dots appeared in Golden Freddy's sockets. Hei couldn't move. He was forced to look at Golden Freddy.
"You think you're fear? Not when you're in MY world!" Golden Freddy whispered to Hei. Hei couldn't even retaliate back to him. This building is where Golden Freddy lives and Hei was caught by the owner. "Oh, what are you going to do? Your eyes asked the questioned. Well, let me answer that for you. You won't be leaving here; you'll be remaining her for the rest of your life which might not even be with you much longer. I can easily take your life like you can take so many lives by the simple touch. The constant flow of electricity through your body due to your contractor power is interesting. The dump this place is could do with a permanent energy source." Golden Freddy told Hei as he gently stroked the paralysed contractor's face. "Time to put you away," and that's when Hei's memory went black.
Flashback End
He fitted in Golden Freddy's suit because the suit had been modified so that people could use the suit. It wasn't like the other suits which still had all the crossbeams and wires in. If Hei was stuffed into another suit, he wouldn't make it out. He knew that and if the night guard and Misaki were forced into a suit too...they wouldn't survive either. Sure, he was a contractor and the logical way to escape this is to leave during the day but the thought of the night guard and Misaki possibly being killed seemed to push that thought away. Sure he was the rat and Misaki was the cat but she wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for him. The night guard was innocent too...he couldn't let him fall prey to the animatronics too. It wouldn't sit right in what little conscious he had left...he knew that his conscious was slowly fading...or dying because of his contractor nature not needing it. Contractors shouldn't have emotions or a conscious...yet he still had them. Even he wasn't as heartless to leave Misaki here without any form of protection. That's probably why he stayed here. As crazy as it sounded to him, he couldn't let Misaki fall prey to the animatronics. She was his opponent and that was how it was going to stay.
Hei needed food; he could feel his own stomach getting ready to give him a loud growl of annoyance. He was stuck inside Golden Freddy's suit for over 24 hours so it was natural for him to feel the claws of hunger reaching for him once more. Stripping himself of any loose clothing, Hei made his way towards the kitchen, following the scent of pizza through the ceiling. He relied on sound and scent to help him move around without being detected, living in the shadows of Golden Freddy's world. He shivered at the thought of bumping into the bear and going through the same thing as before...he had felt helpless so many years in the past...when he was younger and trained to be the monster he was now...he felt helpless then when his sister needed him to be strong...then again in Heaven's War, he practically failed as a brother then. When Pai vanished off the face of the Earth...he felt helpless then. He couldn't have done anything to save her.
Like a rat to the cheese, Hei found his destination. The orders of children's pizzas were coming through and the scent of food was the strongest here. Feeling around, he located the loose ceiling square roof and squeezed his fingers under the corners and lifted. A powerful force of heat and pizza scent hit Hei as it escaped from the kitchen. His mouth salivated at the scent of pizza and his stomach felt like purring at the scent. Food was coming. He waited until the chefs left the kitchen after a while for some strange reason, giving Hei enough time to slip into the kitchen, grab a freshly made pizza and then to scuttle quickly back into the ceiling before he was caught. Taking one pizza was dangerous enough so trying to satisfy his never ending hunger was another thing to worry about. After staying the possible week here, he will leave and take Misaki with him. He knew a way how to get the night guard fired if he survived. For now, if he was going to help them through the nights, he already had a plan. He'll have to re-charge the generator when possible during the nights now that he's alerted Foxy to become more active and that would have chained to the other animatronics becoming more active now too. Sure he's probably caused Misaki and the night guard some issues; he hoped that maybe becoming the power source for the building meant that his tiny conscious would be happy.
FireCacodemon: Sheldon the Whale - Well, Golden Freddy didn't appear in this chapter so he's not here to answer your threat. Hei's also wandered off somewhere so yes, Hei's alive. I can't kill him off, he's too precious. Don't worry, I'll be keeping it going until after Night 7.
Hei: Well, after filling my stomach with food, I'm back. Leave a review, favourite or a follow, if not then Night 4 will be written and published.
FireCacodemon: Thank you for reading this chapter. Hopefully I haven't portrayed Hei too much like the bad guy.
Hei: No harm being the bad guy. :D
