Act I Finale: Chapter 10- Deep Purple and Red
Summer was busy. What with the children 'Now out of school' as they called it, they came even more frequently. It was really exciting! Freddy and Chica were still on bad terms with Foxy, so he had it rough, but I had a blast! Since I was now the only one that talked to Foxy, I was normally the one to enjoy a performance with him. The place had been doing so well lately, it had enough money to install a trunk of props for Foxy to use for his performances. Inside he had about four pirate hats, a cloak, and a lot of eye patches and telescopes, along with many other smaller props. Today, I donned the cloak and pirate hat with a eye patch to boot. I think I caught many of the child by surprize when me and Foxy improvised a new adventure to go on.
"Yarr, me matey Bonnie, where we be heading this time?" Foxy asked me. We had planned this a bit of time ahead, and decide we should let the children decide on a few possibilities.
"Yarr! Well cap'n Foxy, we've got about three landmarks here, we got skull island, Ruby cave, or a deep sea treasure map course! I can't decide!" I said with a sly wink towards the audience. Many of the children were already giddy with laughter when I added: "Where do you landlubbers want to go?"
"Whoa there Bonnie!" Foxy said, patting my back "We should decide on this with a vote, we should! I be thinkin' that the best way be for you children to raise your hand when Bonnie and I call out the locations! Alright, who wants to explore the treasure map?" Foxy said. About eight of the thirty or so children raised their hands. Giggling was still going on as Foxy continued "What about Ruby Cave?" Maybe two or three children raised their hands. Foxy smiled.
"Alright then, Skull Cave is it?" I said. Most of the children raised their hands, even some that raised their hands earlier. "Guess it's Skull Island!" I said happily. The next hour was a blur, what with all the children and the great fun Foxy and I had, but I do remember that as we went on, Freddy and Chica stared at us from where they were. A death stare. They hated to see Foxy so happy after what he did, and I thought I saw Freddy have a hurt expression on his face directed at me. He changed it back to a smile when he saw me looking at him though. Was I hurting him? Maybe even Chica? I guess, to them, I was being nice to the guy that ruined their favorite game. I felt a bit bad for them, but then I remembered what Foxy said about the suit… and what stuffing them would do. How had I not realised this before? I guess seeing Freddy so… happy… and enjoying himself made me ignore the danger it could raise. I really am stupid.
The day was over before we knew it… well, slower and different this time. Something was off. Most of the people here left, except for about six people. An employee, and about five children. All the other staff had left before then (Think back on it now, I have no Idea why they all left while children were still there!). After a few minutes, the employee left. This gave me a great time to examine the children closer.
Two of them were clearly siblings, A brother and sister. The sister was about… ten? Maybe eleven? She had dark brown hair and a nice purple shirt on with blue jeans and white sneakers. She held her clearly younger brother's right hand with her left. He had blonde hair, with a green eyes like his sister and darker clothes on.
Another child was sitting near the pirates cove, and he was an avid pirate fan. He made me think of foxy, what with his eye patch and red hair. Another child sat next to him, clearly bored. He had black hair and deep brown eyes with darker skin than the boy next to him. His red shirt was the same as his shoes. He held his hand up with his other two arms. I assumed they were friends, as the other child elbowed him from time to time with something to say, which made the other boy smile sometimes.
The last child sat in a chair, nearly laying, with her eyes closed in a deep slumber. I saw evidence of pizza sauce on her face, so I knew she had been eating before she went to sleep. Her blonde hair was long, like the other girl's. She wore a pink shirt and white shorts. She smiled in her sleep, which made me smile too.
I wondered where their parents where… when something came into the party room. It was… horrible. It was dark yellow, nearly green, and was clearly a bit worn. It was a bunny, like me, but it was obviously not me, it was something else. It's mouth smiled happily at the children, and it began to speak in a man's voice.
"Hello children! Since it's just you five now, and you did as that man` asked and waited so dearly for me- Oh hello dear! Would you kindly wake up? Thank you!- It is time for you surprise! That's right! Cake! Your own personal party of six! Thank you dearly once again! Ok, everyone, let's head to the back room! That's where the cake and party is!" He said. The children all laughed and smiled as they did as he asked. The door was slammed shut, and I heard it locked. All was quiet… Freddy leaned over to me from beside me.
"What do you think that was all about?" He asked. I scratched my chin…
"Yeah… that was weird. Maybe it was that friend Golden Freddy told me about…" I said. Freddy as unsure of what I meant, I could see it on his face, but I was sure the screams of terror and bloody murder was what sent him to panic. Me as well. And Chica and Foxy.
"What's that!?" Chica screamed with horror.
"The children! Their in trouble!" Freddy said. Foxy ran over, and Freddy and Chica ignored their anger towards him for the time being.
"Open the door!" Foxy shouted. Freddy tried the doorknob, but to no avail. It was locked! Freddy rammed into the door, and Even I tried once he stopped. The screaming stopped, and after about ten minutes, the door unlocked. Freddy and I readied ourselves for the man to come back out. When he did… he just walked right past us… I struggled against… nothing. I felt like something was holding me back from him… was this… Fear? The others did similar as the man promptly left through the front door. It was one of those moments where your mind screamed to chase him, attack him, kill him, and punish him, but your legs were useless to fulfil them… I hate it.
The back room was… horrible. Those five children were barely recognizable anymore… The poor siblings were holding each other, the sister hugging the younger brother with all her might. They must have suffered… clearly dying not from a fatal wound, but from bleeding… a horrible way to suffer. The poor dark boy had his arm cut off… I can only imagine the pain he was in… all of them had tears running down their faces.
"This is… gruesome… oh dear god… oh god... " Chica said with her hands over her beak. All of us felt the same way. We all sat next to the children… each of us taking one... it was all we knew how to do. When you spend your life trying to keep children happy… you end up useless when it comes to a dead one. Truth be told, I wanted to sing and dance with them, even though they were dead. It was all I knew how to do when it came to cheering someone up. The basement door slammed open, and out came Golden Freddy… and I was sure the look on his face was the same as when the other young boy was murdered some ten years ago… he dropped to his knees without a word. Only the sound of our sick geared hearts was heard from all of us…
"Freddy… the… man… why couldn't we stop him…?" I asked him. He looked at me with his sad, blue eyes, and shook his head. He was right… thinking about that now was just selfish…
"These poor little kids…" Foxy said. Most of us were tired now… for some strange reason… I saw one by one as all of them fell asleep. Freddy and Golden were the first to go… right next to each other. Then Chica… her head falling right against the wall as she just laid the blonde headed girl down on her lap. Foxy was next… then myself. That night… I dreamt of a happier time… when life was just about games and performing for children. I guess that was a fool's paradise… yes… a fake reality. One I will never, ever see again.
I awoke with a jarring headache. Strange… I never had one of those before. The room I was in was filled with adults, each of them had sorrowful expressions on their faces. My hearing was a bit blurry at the time, but I overheard them a bit.
"... no… they couldn't have done it. The weren't programmed to do it!"
"You don't know that Katie! This could be your fault for all we know!"
"Wait a second… look here! Whoever came here left their knife! ... I've never seen this knife before! It's not a knife from the kitchen!"
"It doesn't matter… if word of this get's out, the restaurant will be a total ghost town!"
"Your right, who want's to be in a place where five children were murdered and stuffed into suits?"
Stuffed? What were they… oh no… I looked down at myself… and… I was covered in thick, oily, dark red blood. Chica was across from me in the spot she fell asleep in, and she was just like me. Golden, Freddy, and Foxy too. We fell asleep… all five of us… and something came in and shoved the children INTO US!
"Oh god! Oh god! THERE'S A CHILD IN ME!" I shouted. The adults stared dead at me, and my shouting reached the others. The soon too saw the gruesome truth about their small children friends.
"Oh my god… what happened to us!?" Freddy said.
"WE HAVE CHILDREN IN OUR BODIES!" Chica shouted. The staff were dumbfounded.
"OH MY GOD HELP ME!" Foxy cried out. The staff covered their mouths with their hands. I reached out to the only human I was familiar with. Katie.
"Help us Katie… help us! GET THEM OUT!" I cried with siren yells. Katie's eyes welled up with tears. Melvin grabbed her and comforted her as she started to bawl. I tried getting up, but the floor was slippery with blood. Children, murder, then shoved into suits blood. The worst kind to slip into.
"W-what? They weren't programmed to say that! Why are they saying that!" One employee said. Murmurs came from the other staff members.
"I don't know… let's hurry up and shut them down. Mel, take Katie home, for at least a week or more. You two need it. Shut them off! We need to clean up this mess… and make sure that blood doesn't come out of their bodies anymore, got it? If we release the children's bodies to the public, the law will never get off our tails, and our customers will never come back!" The CEO said loudly to everyone in the room. Everything went black for me as a man walked over to me and shut me off. I was afraid of the dark the followed… it wasn't like sleep mode. It was a waking nightmare, one where you can move and enact, but everything is so, so wrong.
Have you ever dreamt you were a different person, yet it felt so… familiar… and so... you that it felt like…. you were them? I did, and I felt so… powerless… like all I was was a weak little child. I was. My name was Derreck… his name… my name… whatever, and I was so afraid that I was real. I looked just like the darker skinned boy… the one I slept next to. I was him in my dream… he was shoved into me…
I thought fear wasn't something I could Feel… but this proved me wrong…
I know Know that Fear is something that is evil. Something your body does to make you stay away from everything. It ruins… it ruins you… and It hurts. It really, really hurts… I wonder if Derreck felt the pain I do… maybe even more…?
