It was my birthday, I turned 9 years old that day, and we were celebrating at my least favorite, Fredbear's Diner. Shaun had to go up on stage, and prepare to sing a song for me, while Alex decided to try his friends, and tell them that the prank was going to happen, but before he left, he told me: "If I am unable to stop them, just run to Shaun." I nodded, and he went off.

Claire decided to stay with me at out our usual spot, it was just like any other day, it was getting kind of boring, so I decided to talk to Claire.

"So, how come you find the animatronics creepy?" I asked.

"They looked like roadkill, and their smile isn't helping their case." Claire answered.

"I agree," I said. "I still can't look at them."

"Then don't"

"Way ahead of you."

We just sat there for a while until we got out free pizza and birthday cake. I could see Alex trying to stall his friends off the corner of my eye, and I saw Shaun was singing his heart out. I never really realized how much he enjoyed singing until now.

Once he was done singing, he looked over in my direction: "This next song is for a good friend of mine, he just turned nine today, and his name is Travis." Everyone looked at me, and I hid behind the small wall. "His parents have passed away recently, and now I am taking care of him and his brother, so I am going to sing a song from a musical that came out a year ago, it is called "No One Is Alone" and I will be joined by sister, Claire, for this one. So will you two get on up here, already!"

We both listened, and we both got up on stage.

"Alright," Shaun said. "The lyrics are going to show up on screen, do you think you can follow?"

"Yes, bro." Claire answered.

"Alright, then let's get started." Shaun said, smiling.

The lights dimmed, and they hand me a microphone, I knew this meant that I had to sing some parts, but probably not for a while.

[Claire]

"Mother cannot guide you.
Now you're on your own.
Only me beside you.
Still, you're not alone.
No one is alone, truly.
No one is alone.

Sometimes people leave you
halfway through the wood.
Others may deceive you.
You decide what's good.
You decide alone.
But no one is alone"

[Travis]

"I wish…"

[Claire]

"I know… (spoken)
Mother isn't here now

[Shaun]

Wrong things, right things

[Claire]

Who knows what she'd say?

[Shaun]

Who can say what's true?

[Claire]

Nothings quite so clear now.

[Shaun]

Do things, fight things,

[Claire]

Feel you've lost your way?

[Shaun]

You decide, but

[Both]

You are not alone

[Claire]

Believe me,
No one is alone

[Shaun]

No one is alone.
Believe me.

[Claire]

Truly

[Both]

You move just a finger,
Say the slightest word,
Somethings bound to linger
Be heard

[Shaun]

No one acts alone.
Careful.
No one is alone.

[Both]

People make mistakes.

[Shaun]

Fathers,

[Claire]

Mothers,

[Both]

People make mistakes,
Holding to their own,
Thinking they're alone.

[Claire]

Honor their mistakes

[Shaun]

Fight for their mistakes

[Claire]

Everybody makes

[Both]

One another's terrible mistakes.
Witches can be right; Giants can be good.
You decide what's right you decide what's good

[Claire]

Just remember:

[Shaun]

Just remember:

[All]

Someone is on your side (Our side)
Our side
Someone else is not
While we're seeing our side (Our side)
Our side
Maybe we forgot: they are not alone.
No one is alone.

[Claire]

Hard to see the light now.

[Shaun]

Just don't let it go

[Both]

Things will come out right now.
We can make it so.
Someone is on your side
No one is alone.

Everyone applauded, and I ran to hug Shaun and Claire, but before I could celebrate even further I felt someone grab me from the stage; it was one of Alex's friends.

"Travis!" Shaun dropped the mike, and tried to get to me, but the crown got in the way.

"Everyone get out of the way!" Claire said, into the mike.

Everyone started fanning out, but I was already getting close to the Fredbear animatronic. I started crying from just seeing that thing. "Please let me go!" I pleaded.

"You hear that?" One asked. "I think he wants to give Fredbear a kiss."

"He is the birthday boy; we might as well give what he wants." I was getting closer to Fredbear, but then I hear a voice that stops them all.

"What the hell are you guys doing?!" It was Alex, he wasn't beaten up, so I assumed that they tricked him. "I wasn't kidding when I said that "the prank is off!"

"But he is such a baby when he is near that thing." One said.

"And what do you think is going to happen if that things teeth crushes head?!" Alex asked, angrily. "If it doesn't kill him, then it will put him in the hospital!"

"Oh come on, it will shut down before it even gets close to his head." Another one said.

"How dumb are you?!" I heard another voice shout. It was Shaun. "These things don't have a safety mechanism for the kind of prank you want to pull off."

"Look, get out of our way, Alex," One ordered. "We just want a quick laugh that's all."

"You'll have to get through me first." Alex said, monotone.

"And me…" Shaun said.
"And me…" Claire said, coming in.

"Alright boys, grab them!"

More of the gang went out to grab them, and they started holding them hostage.

"No, please stop!" Alex begged. "Do it on me instead!"

"No…" One of Alex's friend said. "You would be no fun."
They all started laughing, and I started crying as they stuck into Fredbear's mouth, but before the mouth could close, I hear Shaun get up: "You fucking idiots!" I heard the sound of a bone being broken, and I see Shaun trying to keep the mouth open long enough for me to crawl out; I pushed myself out, and I found myself catching my breath.

"Are you okay, Travis!" Alex said, breaking free.

"What were you idiots thinking?!" Claire asked, who was furious.

"Do you want to go in there, little girl!?" One of them asked.

"Do you want to die today?" Shaun asked, monotone.

They let her go out of fear, and she ran towards me.

"Are you alright, Travis?!"

"I am now…"

They came up, and tried to punch Shaun, but Alec punched him before he had a chance to even reach him. "Stay away from my brother, asshole!"

"You're gonna pay for that, Alex!"

One of Alex's old friends pushed him into Fredbear's mouth, and he tried getting out, but before he could even get up

*CRUNCH*

There it was, that horrid sound that haunted my dreams for all my life had finally entered reality, but it wasn't I who was the victim… No, the victim... was my brother. I screamed as loud as I could, and other employees called 911.

"No…" I said, silently. NO!"

I was now crying; Alex was lying there in the mouth of Fredbear, he was lying limp in his mouth.

Claire was crying along with me, and Shaun was furious.

"What the hell did I try to tell you?!"

"W-We didn't think this would happen!"

"Doesn't fucking matter!" Shaun yelled. "This is what he was trying to warn you about, and you all just ignored him even after he begged! You guys are sick!"

Shaun went to check on Alex, and he put his fingers on his wrists.
"He's still alive…" Shaun said to himself. "Help me get him out of here, you damn louses!"

Shaun tried to lift the Fredbears mouth, but he couldn't on his own, one of Alex's friends decided to help, and they were able to get him out.

"At least there is hope for one of you…" Shaun said, monotone.

"Is the ambulance here yet?!" An employee asked.

"Yes sir!"

"Then get him to the hospital!"

We all watched Alex, getting dragged off to the hospital. I will never forget this day; this was the day where my brother tried to defend me from harm, and I would never be able to repay his debt.
