Edward's Five Nights at Freddy's
"The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?" - Edgar Allan Poe
Day Four (Part 3) _ Too Blind to See
(A/N: I wonder how many of you actually noticed that someone is missing. :) Enjoy~!)
Hawkeye sat against the wall, looking up at the ceiling. Her mind was wrapped around her thoughts. Something was wrong. But she just couldn't realize what it was that was pulling at her. She turned to Ed who was sitting in a corner, his head down and eyes full of anger. Alphonse and the Colonel were silently working at the cameras and checking the doors. She looked at her watch, noticing that it was 3:00.
Hawkeye sat there in silence, remembering everything that had happened….everything….everything….
"BLACK HAYATE!" she screamed. Everyone shot around looking at her. She was panicking, sweat was pouring down her face, her eyes full of fear. "Oh my god...w-why didn't I notice he wasn't there...w-we left him behind?!" she stood up only to feel her knees tremble and bring her back down again. "We have to go get him."
"Lieutenant, there's nothing we can do. He would probably be back in the other office….eating pizza…." Roy slapped his face, covering it with his hand. Before leaving the room, he had noticed that the boxes in the corner where shaking. But he brushed it off. It had been Hayate. They were all so distracted, that they had completely forgotten about him.
"We have to go back! We have to go back!" Riza cried. Roy just stared at her, not believing the way she was acting. This place...it was getting to all of them. And who was to say that he wouldn't be next?
"N-not Hayate...no!" Riza sobbed. She wanted to have faith in bed companion. She really did. But this place was a hell hole. It would rip anything that was innocent apart in minutes. She wanted to try. She had to try.
Riza stood, checking for her guns she had yet to use. She turned to the Colonel, and the Brothers. "Lieutenant, don't be rash. We need to sit down and think about this first!" Roy said.
She looked away from him, embarrassed that she had to show her weak side to her superior, "There isn't anything to think about. Hayate is in trouble. I swore that I would protect him, so I have to go save him even if it kills me. What kind of owner would I be if I didn't try?!"
Edward looked down, "Didn't try...look at what happened when I tried to save Winry? She died..."
They were shocked to hear him talking, as he had been completely still and silent ever since he had scared away the two animatronics. Riza wasn't the lest bothered by his sour words. There was a chance that Hayate was alive. And she was going to try.
"Hawkeye, I don't want you to go alone. Let me come with you." Alphonse said. Roy and Ed glared at him, enraged that he was encouraging her to go and find him.
"And let you get killed too?! No Alphonse." Ed snapped at him.
"But Brother, you need to think about this! What if it were Winry?!"
"Don't say her name..."
"But..."
"I said! Don't say her name!" Edward's angry expression stared down his Brother. For once, Alphonse felt small compared to Ed, and feared what he was capable of in his state of mind even though he didn't have Alchemy.
"I don't have much time. I'm leaving." Hawkeye said. She turned to Roy, who was only looking at her with concern.
"Ok," as Mustang said this but once he continued her facial expression changed to a determined one, "but if you die I won't forgive you...and I won't be too far behind you. I won't be able to make it out of here without your help."
"I won't let you down sir. I promise." she said. She then turned to Alphonse, who had nothing else to say to his brother. Roy checked the cameras, making sure that everything was clear.
And let them go.
Edward kept his back turned on his Brother. Just letting him leave. There was no begging him to stay, for he had already made up his mind. But Ed, he suddenly felt tears run down his face. He quickly wiped them away so that Mustang wouldn't see, then joined him to check the doors and cameras.
Alphonse and Hawkeye made their way back through the dark hall way. Hawkeye snapped her fingers, trying to see if Hayate would hear so he would know where they were. But there was no response. Hawkeye could feel her heart about to jump out of her chest. Al's foot steps filled the space around them, making it uneasy for them to both focus and find the office they left earlier.
"Hawkeye," Alphonse began to say, his voice about to break because of his nerves, "Do you think Ed will ever be the same again...now that Winry isn't with us anymore?"
Hawkeye turned her head and sighed. Not knowing what to say, she slowed down and looked at her feet as she walked, "You're going to have to give him some time. This place has gotten to us all. And even though it doesn't look like it, Mustang is about to break from the pressure too."
"Even the Colonel?"
"Yes, even Colonel Mustang. I don't think that you and your brother realize that we're just human too. We have emotions outside of just being what the Military wants us to be. It looks like that's why you both were so startled and my reaction to Hayate missing. He brings me comfort and without him, my life just wouldn't be the same."
Alphonse continued to walk silently. He thought about the things that Riza had told him, completely forgetting where he was. She was right. He and Ed both always thought that Roy and Riza were dogs of the Military.
"Alphonse…Riza...I'm here!"
Al and Hawkeye stopped, becoming fully alert as they heard their names. Back in the office, Mustang had been to keep up with them. But as soon as he did the cameras cut to black in an instant. Edward checked the lights almost immediately.
"NAH!" he screamed, quickly closing the door. Mustang checked the other door too.
"AH!" Slam! He quickly closed the other door. Both doors had been closed, as they were now surrounded by Toy Bonnie and Chica! "They're cornering us. Oh no, Alphonse and the Lieutenant are in trouble. Fullmetal, what time is it?" Roy panicked.
Edward quickly checked his watch, "Damn, its 4:00! They haven't even made it too the office yet. This isn't good. AH!" he was interrupted by a terrible screeching noise coming from the left window. Roy turned on the lights to see Mangle using its claws to try and break the window. Long scratches covered the entire window, making it look like it could break at any moment.
Back in the hallway, Al and Riza rushed to the office as fast as they could. But everything seemed different. It was like the building had completely changed on its own. They continued to cut sharp corners, checking their backs constantly. But it wasn't until they really started getting nerves did they realize that they were almost there.
Riza smiled, yelling Hayate's name. She bolted near the doorway, where she came to a quick halt. Al was going to stop her, but she did on her own. He couldn't make out her face, but...he could tell something wasn't right.
"H-Hawkeye?" he tried reaching out for her, but she remained frozen in place. He looked inside the office, completely becoming alarmed. There, inside the office was a young boy crouched down, petting an unconscious Hayate. The boy turned his head, his eyes completely black and his teeth sharp and red, "Shh, don't be loud. He's sleeping."
The boy began laughing and a force pulled the two to look to their right. The Balloon animatronic was down the hall laughing, "W-what're we going to do?" Alphonse panicked. Hawkeye stood up straight. Trying not to show any fear in her eyes. She walked over to the boy and stared down at him, but she still managed to focus on Black Hayate. He was breathing...thank goodness.
"Can I...please...have him?" she asked. Slowly reaching out. The boy turned his head, a grim look on his face strong enough to turn you're stomach just by looking at him. A dark force pushed Riza back. Alphonse quickly caught her, causing them both to slam into a wall. When they got back up they realized that Balloon boy was much closer. If they didn't hurry, something bad was going to happen.
"P-please, just give me...Black Hayate…" Riza yelped, staggering to her feet. She tried to smile at the child, but he continued to frown.
"Where were you when I needed you?" the boy yelled.
"We don't understand…" Al tried to say, but he could feel his armor weakening. It was something he had never felt before. "What do you mean?"
"That man kidnapped me...he sent me to this world….he did it...he did it! AAAHHH!" Without warning, the boy flung Hayate at Riza; she caught him almost falling back. The boy melted into the ground suddenly transforming into Golden Freddy. The two of them screamed heading in the opposite direction as Balloon Boy. As they ran, a strong wind tried to push them back. Everywhere they turned they were greeted by Balloon Boy, blocking their path.
"Damn! Now where do we go?!" Riza panicked. Her eyes went in every direction trying to find a clear path, but it was just no used.
"Wait! There's something else coming!" Alphonse yelled. He grabbed her and pushed her ahead of him, "You need to just run, I promise I'll stay behind you the entire way! We just need to keep going!"
Riza nodded and just started running in the direction they came from. She heard Alphonse running behind her, his usual clunky footsteps. She was so into finding a way to get them back to the office….that she tuned out every sound around her. At one point, she saw Foxy lung out at her. She quickly turned, causing the animatronic to hit the wall. It quickly recovered and continue the chase after her. She didn't dare look back, only clinging onto Black Hayate and running for her life, tears filling her eyes.
And finally, she saw the office. She pounded as loud as she could. Mustang opened the door, and closed it. She almost fell to her knees, watching tears fall from her eyes to the ground as she held her companion close to her. Mustang looked at her kneeling down beside her and looking into her eyes.
"We did it, we did it...Alphonse…Alphonse?"
Edward walked up to her and when she looked up at him and looked at his facial expression, she knew…
"Hawkeye, where is Alphonse?"
