Five Nights of Apprehension

Hi guys this is chapter 9 of Five Nights of Apprehension and for those of you who loved the songs in the first few chapters you're in luck i'm putting another one in this chapter so let's get started.

Chapter 9: out of body experience

Debby woke up back in the room again, she was now so mad that the killer of her child had effectively killed her too, she needed Finn to help out too and she even has an idea to give him a new powerful form as well, first though she needed a volunteer to get locked into the wardrobe and become a plushie so that Finn can be normal again.

She went out into the hall on the left, she saw Opal and Ashe in their normal forms talking about getting Finn back but they were thinking of either one or the other going in the wardrobe instead, Debby thought that wasn't necessary and told them.

Debby: "guys, you don't need to do that for me, we can get the nightmares to do it for us, we just need to find one willing to help"

Opal: "didn't they say they'd all help?"

Debby: "yes but, by how much? How willing are they to help me?"

Ashe: "you mean to say they're only helping you to help themselves?"

Debby: "yes, did you see how desperate Oscar looked? He seemed very anxious and eager to be free, but then Pete said it would go wrong"

Opal: "well let's see who will help us and go from there"

So Opal, Ashe and Debby went down the hall to find the nightmares and ask if they will agree to lock themselves in the wardrobe so Finn can transform back to normal again, but as they walk through the hall things don't seem right for Debby as she hears Jake's voice but she knows he's not there, she pushes it away for now and keeps going, they get to the end of the hall and see all the nightmares talking about how they can beat Plushtrap.

They seem to have different ideas some want to go in fast and furious while others want to try sneaking up on him and take him out in one quick move but they don't know how they can do it without him knowing they are there, that's when Debby proposed her plan.

Debby: "hey guys, i have an idea, is anyone willing to volunteer themselves to being locked in the wardrobe?"

Nightmare Freddy: "why do you need us to do that?"

Debby: "well just like when i locked Foxy in there, Finn was able to become normal again, if you'll let me lock one of you in there again i think i can have him beat Plushtrap"

Nightmare Foxy: "you want me to lock myself in there?"

Debby: "if you agree then yeah, if not that's fine you'd be a great help either way, it's up to you"

Nightmare Foxy: "what do you guys think?"

Nightmare Freddy: "well if you want to help her getting Finn back may be a good way to do it"

Nightmare Bonnie: "i'm not waiting around i want the Bunny freak dead then we'll be free... i hope"

Nightmare Chica: "any help is good help, but i'm done waiting too, i want to see Mike again"

Nightmare Oscar: "you're not the only one missing your friends, i'm going now"

Nightmare Sarah: "at least i still have Pete, but let's see what we can do, Finn may be great help"

Nightmare Pete: "i'm with you Sarah"

Nightmare Lenny: "i think i'll actually miss this form but a chance to be free is worth more than being a monster, go for it"

Nightmare Foxy: "alright i'll do it"

Debby: "thanks Foxy, here have an ear rub"

Debby rubbed Foxy's ear for a bit then they went back to the bed room, Foxy being a all bark no bite kind of nightmare he never really wanted to go through with catching Debby or Jake but had no choice, now he has a chance to help he is more than happy to, plus the ear rub was just another reason to help as he loves to be petted.

They got to the bed room and saw Finn just sitting on the bed waiting to be normal again, Foxy was looking at him and saw a piece of him in Finn like they had a similarity so Foxy thought he would do a good job of beating Plushtrap and freeing them all, Foxy grabbed the key and locked himself in the wardrobe and Finn transformed.

Finn was now normal again and was ready to help Debby with beating Plushtrap and save to nightmares from this reality but Debby was unsure how effective her new idea will be, the only way to find out is to try.

They went back down the hall and again Debby felt weird, she could hear Jake's voice again and this time it was coming though more clearly.

Jake: "mum, mum are you there? I need you, please, say something i need you to be there for me"

Debby: "Jake? Jake i'm here, where are you, please say something"

Jake: "i don't know where i am but it's cold and scary, i thought i was brave but i don't want to be here anymore, please help me"

Debby: "don't you worry my little munch kin, mummy is coming to help you and soon you'll be in my arms again, no one will hurt you again"

Jake: "please mum, help me, help me please"

Debby: "i will, or so help me i'll die trying"

Finn: "who are you talking to?"

Debby: "can't you hear him?"

Opal: "who?"

Debby: "Jake!"

Opal: "no, are you alright?"

Debby: "no i'm not my son is dead and he seems to be talking to me somehow"

Ashe: "could be a 2nd world thing, you know because you're asleep and Jake is dead there could be a connection"

Debby: "well he's talking to me and he's scared and wants to get out of where ever he is, maybe if we beat Plushtrap we may save him, at least i hope so"

Finn: "well i'm here, i'm sure i can destroy him, let's get to it then"

With Debby now hearing Jake's voice she was now more than ever ready to rip Plushtrap apart to save Jake and the nightmares but with such devastation and other things going wrong already would the destruction of Plushtrap really be enough, they met back up with the nightmares and they all greeted Finn.

Nightmare Freddy: "so this is Finn, do you think you are strong enough to beat Plushtrap?"

Finn: "well, if i had to guess, no i am not strong enough, not on my own, but with our combined efforts i hope we can weaken him and defeat him as a team"

Nightmare Pete: "how very noble of you, i hope you appreciate what Foxy has done for you"

Finn: "i do, it's not fin being a plushie, unable to move and only the ability to talk, very boring"

Nightmare Sarah: "it's very nice of you to help us, even when at this point we are for past redemption"

Finn: "redemption is always a viable option, no matter what you have done, as long as you are willing to account for your mistakes you are a person with the potential to be saved, i respect that very much"

Plushtrap: "well good for you, if you ask me you're all a bunch of idiots and now i'll put you all down for good, no more nights, no more horrors, just me and Debby"

Debby: "come on then Purple bitch, let's see how good you are against my new body guard"

Plushtrap: "what, a turquoise Wolf? Ha what a joke he'll be mince meat in no time"

Finn: "we'll just see about that"

Debby: "wait, let's have the nightmares go first"

The nightmares: "yeah!"

Plushtrap: "let's see then shall we"

So the nightmares went for Plushtrap all at once to try and overwhelm Plushtrap but most of them are taller than him and he can easily jump out of their way, the only two who are able to catch him are Sarah and Oscar because of their smaller size, but they weren't so organized as Sarah was trying to drop down on him from the ceiling while Oscar was blowing wind with his wings to trip him up.

Debby tried to get them organised but just as they got the idea Plushtrap coursed a power serge again, the lights were out and they couldn't see a thing, Debby used her imagination and Opal and Ashe went pearl form to brighten up the room, Plushtrap was hiding again and making it hard for them to catch him so all the nightmares went in the room and spread out throughout the room to find him easier and make it harder for him to destroy them, but plushtrap was fast and from out of nowhere got behind all of them and in on shot knocked them all out.

Debby heard that and went to the door of the room, when she got there, there was a bright light that blinded her and when it was gone all the nightmares were no more they had been erased from existence never to come back again.

Plushtrap: "ha that was nothing, you need to do better than that to beat me"

Debby: "fine you asked for it, Opal, Ashe"

Opal: "yeah let's do this, you ready Ashe?"

Ashe: "i was born ready"

Opal: "you weren't born, you were created"

Ashe: "yeah well i like that expression"

Plushtrap: "bring it on"

Opal and Ashe then powered up and went brighter than ever to find Plushtrap but it wasn't easy to find him as he was hiding in a corner that was very dark but one thing gave him away, the thought of destroying Opal and Ashe was making him giddy and he laughed which they heard and shot crystals at him, he barely got out of the way in time and tried to strike back but Opal and Ashe were very quick and knocked him on his back, he was looking for a way out and rolled into the other room and started to charge up.

It was time to show his full power and he used the same electromagnetic field he uses to break the lights, now he can manipulate the field to create bolts of electricity and shock Opal and Ashe, but it would be hard to get through the hard pearl shell they have so he will have to give it his all the get through.

Opal and Ashe were looking for him and with their pearl light found him, just as soon as he was found Plushtrap shot a bolt at both of them shocking them with 2000 volts, they were thrown back a bit but stood their ground not willing to give up so easy, they both used the crystal prison on him but missed several times, with his new found power Plushtrap was even faster than before and could dodge almost every attack Opal and Ashe had in their arsenal.

They had one final attack that they could use to hit him but if it didn't work then they would be in trouble as it requires them to shed their pearl forms, it's called shatter matter, it requires them to put the quartz under intense pressure enough to crack them then push the quartz away with great force, if Plushtrap gets hit by a piece of pearl them the damage will be immense and even burn into his fur.

They started to build up the pressure and the quartz began to crack, the problem is if they were attacked they could burst before enough pressure is accumulated, Debby saw this possibility and sent Finn in to defend them, Plushtrap now felt the power of the pearl Cats and knew if he was hit by any flying pearl shards it would be his end so he started shooting bolts at them, Finn was in like the flash though and took shot after shot of electricity, now it was only a matter of time before Plushtrap's end.

The pressure was building and steam was coming out of the cracks, the strain on Opal and Ashe's face was clear they were putting themselves through hell just to help the souls find peace, Plushtrap charged up as much energy as he could to stop them but it would have to go through Finn and he was proving very difficult to budge.

Pressure was now at critical, the light emitted from the quartz was so bright it was blinding even Opal and Ashe, Finn was astonish to see what they could do thanks to Debby, now was the time, Finn jumped out the way then Opal and Ashe released the pressure, their quartz scatted all over almost hitting Debby and Finn, but it did hit Plushtrap and he seemed to go down.

Opal: "we did it... we got him... he'll burn in hell now... finally"

Ashe: "take that... you evil... little... fool... yeah"

Plushtrap: "don't celebrate too soon"

Ashe: "you've got to be joking"

Opal: "what do we do now, we've lost pearl form"

Plushtrap: "how about die"

Plushtrap then unleashed a wave of electricity and destroyed both of them, then he did the same thing to them as he did with the nightmares, a strange bright light then they were gone, Debby was now at the end of her rope and Finn felt the effects of something new and strange but also powerful.

Pulshtrap: "you see Debby my dear you can't stop me, i'll kill you and then when i return to the world i'll hold it in my hand"

Debby: "you think i'm going to give up, you think you can kill my son, destroy my friends, mock me, toy with me, said i can't, but don't you see... I CAN"

Suddenly Finn's body was covered in rock, from head to toe he was some kind of sentient rock Wolf with similar skills and abilities to Opal and Ashe but with a twist, he could achieve a form higher still if Debby was so inclined to oblige when things get rough.

Plushtrap: "what is this?"

Debby: "this is rock Finn, a power house of destruction, this is for Jake, this is for my friends, you better run because there's no stopping this bulldozer"

Finn: "i've never felt more power in my life"

Debby: "use it well"

Finn the slowly walked towards Plushtrap who was now finally realising he was going to meet his maker here and now, the pearl shard that hit him seemed to also grow hotter coursing more damage as it burned and melted his fur, Plushtrap tried to shot Finn with bolts of electricity but it did nothing to him, he was just taking it and kept on walking.

Plushtrap was now stuck in a corner with nowhere to go, he tried to shot Finn but still nothing happened, Finn smiled and ended it all by stomping on plushtrap's head, no need to use any fancy moves or ranged attacks, Plushtrap was no more.

Debby: "yes you did it Finn, thank you"

Finn: "it was us who did it, not just me, i must ask where did you come up with this form?"

Debby: "well when i thought of what beats rock i could only come to one conclusion and that was time"

Finn: "time?"

Debby: "yes, it takes years of rain to erode a rock and it takes a volcano time to grow and only that kind of temperature to melt rock and most of the time it's gooey and not quite liquid"

Finn: "i see your point, i'm happy that we have won"

Debby: "me too"

?: "you haven't won yet, now you face me and you are not going to beat me no matter what you do, so try to find me i'll be right behind you"

Debby: "who are you?"

?: "your worst Nightmare"

The nightmare then struck from an unseen place and caught Debby and Finn and were forced to restart the night again, but Debby seemed to have a vision while still dreaming, she was in a bright place and saw Jake looking away, she ran to him but as she was about to touch him she went through him like he was a ghost but that made sense to her sense he was dead but Jake could see her and he was sad to know that they couldn't touch.

Jake: "mum, you came"

Debby: "that's right, i'm here and never let you go, but i can't touch you, i can't hold you"

Jake: "it's ok, as long as you're here i'm fine"

Debby: "but how can you be you're dead and i'll wake up soon"

Jake: "will we see each other again?"

Debby: "i don't know, i hope so"

Jake then felt the weight of feeling Debby's love but then felt far away sense they can't touch and started to sing about having someone who loves him out there alone and shattered.

(now play So Far Away from RED)

Jake: "i am right here with you,

I couldn't be more close,

Pretending that i'm in this moment

When i'm only a ghost

I listen to the words you're saying,

Words i fighting to believe,

It's like i'm living from a distance,

When you're out of reach,

I want to feel it,

When i mean it,

When i say it,

Can you hear me at all?

And i feel so far away,

Far away from everything,

Outside wondering when i got lost,

I throw my arms up in the air,

Why do i disappear,

How can your love be so close,

When i'm so far away?

Remember when you found me drowning,

You pulled me from the deepest end,

I promised that i'll never leave you,

Now i'm drowning again,

It's killing me with every breath,

Witnessing the life i left,

Only you know who i am,

I'm reaching out my hand,

I want to feel it,

When i mean it,

When i say it,

Can you hear me at all?

And i feel so far away,

Far away from everything,

Outside wondering when i got lost,

I throw my arms up in the air,

Why do i disappear,

How can your love be so close,

When i'm so far away?"

When Jake was finished Debby was crying, she couldn't believe the gravity of the song being so true even the part when Jake was drowning, when he was younger they went to a leisure centre with a pool and they had a good time but one of the other kids were playing rough and Jake couldn't keep his balance and was having a hard time keeping his head above water, Debby then jumped in to help him.

Debby: "that was beautiful, i promise i will see you again before this is over, i will see you again"

Jake: "i know you will, thank you mum"

They tried to hug but like before it ended in Debby falling over and the next thing she knew she was back in the room with only Finn as company, there was a way of getting Opal and Ashe back though but it meant going into the halls with what was possible the black Bear Nightmare outside, but as always tomorrow is another day.
