No Longer Alone
Since Foxy's death it just got worse, not just for us but the restaurant. On our final opening day…no one turned up, I guess it was because of what happened to that poor child or maybe that Foxy took his own life and that the parents claimed he was a walking death trap…or those silly rumours of us stinking of dead carouses…either way, by that time the restaurant had bad publicity and was condemned by the parents and media…we were finished. They took Foxy away…he was beyond repair, he was gone for good…so they took him away and we never saw him again…
A few days after our failed final day, we saw some people near the main windows on the outside, we didn't move to give ourselves away but we averted our eyes towards them, they were wearing white dungarees…normally like what plumbers or window cleaners use…they splashed the windows with something and then…the light coming through was blocked, the clear window was replaced by a giant poster…this didn't take them long to do the job and they just left…we could hear them mumblering, they were saying nasty things about this place and then laughing…mocking the restaurant, mocking us…I noticed Freddy got angry by this…but there was nothing he could do…nothing any of us could do… when they left, we came out of our starting positions and went to check this…poster. It was hard to read at first, considering all the writing was backwards… to us it read:
YADIRF NO NOITCUA
!OG TSUM GNIDLIUB SIHT NI GNIHTYREVE
YROTSIH FO ECEIP A TEG
It was like a puzzle but of course we knew it was backwards but we couldn't just step outside and expose ourselves...so we just worked it out the hard way…and eventually we…k-knew what it said…
AUCTION OH FRIDAY
EVERYTHING IN THIS BUILDING MUST GO!
GET A PIECE OF HISTORY
"Oh my God…" said Bonnie first, fear in his eyes. "Their gonna…auction us off"
"They…they can't do this" I said, almost to tears.
"WELL THEY FUCKING ARE!" shouted Bonnie, his fear turning to anger in seconds, this was when I started to fear him…I knew he had a slight temper but never this bad…
"Bonnie, for Christ sake, calm down" said Freddy.
"Calm down? What? Clam down? How can I calm down? Read it, Freddy…we're being sold and not even to another firm or franchise but to people…the public…the same public who hate us now" stated Bonnie…I'll admit, he had a good point… "This can't be happening…"
"Look, I doubt we'd be sold separately…we're a team, we stick together" said Freddy, trying to calm the mood…unfortunily that calm mood didn't last for long…
"It won't work like that…" said Bonnie, through gritted teeth. "We're fucked…"
"I'm…I'm sure it'll b-be alright…Bonnie…" I said as I almost whimpered.
"Oh shut up, Chica!" burst Bonnie. "This is…this is all your fault…"
"Bonnie, for-" said Freddy but was interrupted.
"NO, FREDDY!" said Bonnie, sternly. "I've been in denial for a long time now…and it's about time I open up! For ages now I blamed Foxy…I blamed Foxy because I never liked him…and would find any excuse to hate him, anything he did, I would just hate him…I hated him for being so popular…yes, that's right, I was jealous…little Bonnie here…was fucking jealous…but, it's only now that I see it was Foxy who kept the public coming in, who kept the children happy…who kept this place open…not your charm, Freddy, not my singing or guitar playing…or your shit food, Chica…it was Foxy…everyone l-loved him…and then Chica goes and FUCKS IT UP!"
"I'm…I-'m sorry…" I whimpered, hearing his speech really shallowed the truth in me…even though I tried to claim it was my fault earlier on…but I thought they just didn't listen to me…they knew…all this time…
"Now hold on a minute, Bonnie" said Freddy
"Oh, shut it, you fat lump of piss!" said Bonnie, over raging. "Opening your eyes! You was in as much denial as I was…"
I looked over to Freddy, he tilted his head towards the floor and looked like he sighed angrily, tears were flooding in my eyes…all this time I claimed it was my fault, thinking they just ignored me and blamed it on Foxy…well, the truth finally came out…yes, it was my fault…but this felt worse…why couldn't they have blamed me from the start?
"I…know…it was…never Foxy's fault…" said Freddy, trying to hold his anger. I backed off slightly from both of them. "But…what does it matter now…? We have to…stick together…"
"Good God" said Bonnie. "Listen to yourself! The day Chica dropped that cake…the team was OVER!"
"I DIDN'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN" I shouted as loud as I could, but the lump in my throat was starting to hurt. "I DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY OF THIS!"
"Well…it's too late now!" said Bonnie.
Bonnie pounced at me, with his strong hind feet and knocked me over, falling onto the hard tiled floor. The impact hurt, my head getting most of the pain…and then within seconds my whole body ached…I felt strong pressure on my chest, only to see Bonnie was on top of me, I tried hitting him, finding ways to push him off but he was to strong…and any slap or punches I gave to him didn't make him flinch an inch.
"I'm gonna make sure, no one buys you…no one buys that…pretty face of yours! You can be sold for SCRAP! WHY SHOULD ANYONE BUY YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID! AND FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO US!" Bonnie said angrily
He pulled back his arm, clinched his fist and with brute force, punched me in the face, the impact was hard, everything went fazy and I heard a crack and pain under my eye…he punched me several times, my sight getting worse…the pain surrounded me, my eyes leaked more tears…a zig zag line covering my vision…and then, I could breathe again, the pressure was gone…but my face was cracked…only just missing my beak…my eye was…shattered but could still see…if only through pain and odd shaped cracks…it happened way to fast and with a glimpse of my good eye, I saw Freddy wrestling with Bonnie, both full of rage but Freddy was just to strong for Bonnie…Freddy dodged a couple of punches and just grabbed Bonnie's head and neck…I tried to pull myself up…but I felt numb…
Freddy slammed Bonnie's face onto the hard tables.
I tried to scream at them but no sound could be made…I tried forcing myself up again…but I just…I just couldn't…I dragged myself to a chair…vision was still fazy…
Second slam to Bonnie's face…the force so strong…one of his long blue ears came off…
The pain was wearing off and slowly I was getting my vision back…if only ever so slightly. The pain comes back, I hear screaming…I look towards Freddy and Bonnie…Bonnie had all these cracks over his face, oil seeping through the holes, bits of plastic coming apart and falling off him…his voice box was shattered…but…Freddy didn't stop…his eyes were black, no emotion…he wasn't Freddy but some possessed monster…Bonnie screamed his last scream and his face impacted the table for the last time, his face shattered, bits of plastic, metal and eyes flying everywhere…his voice box dying steadily…static at first and then…silence…
Freddy's eyes became normal, he panted but then gasped at the sight of Bonnie…Freddy pulled him up but all that was left was…half a face…a hanging jaw, still connected to its hinges but no…face, Bonnie's face was no more…the chip in his head was smashed to bits…small red dots glowed in his face but then died out…Freddy wept for Bonnie…as did I, after pulling myself together…slumped on a chair.
"Oh God, Bonnie…" cried Freddy, his tears started to appear. "Forgive me Bonnie…f-forgive…m-me…I just lost…c-con-control…"
Freddy killed Bonnie because of me…I caused all of it…
No comfort was going to help anyone…even though Freddy was the one who killed Bonnie, I still felt the…blood was on my hands…
Freddy gently put Bonnie down but the body flopped lifeless…Freddy closed his eyes, pushing more tears out of his flooded eyes…then he opened them and looked at me…he growled at me…I whimpered, I was in no state to fight back…even if I wanted to…I was just to weak against Freddy and his enormous size fists…I was too scared to move, I figured Freddy was going to…damage me…or worse, kill me…looking back at it now…I…wish he did…
He just stared at me, if anything…that frightened me the most…also not knowing what he was going to do…I tried looking him in the eye but I just couldn't…I just couldn't…
"I don't want to ever see you again, Chica" he said sternly and full of anger. "You hear me? Do you understand? I…NEVER EVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!"
I nodded, still too scared to move but my heart was racing, tears streaming down my cheek…I tried to say something but anything I'd say would be no use…
"GO, NOW! BEFORE I FINISH WHAT BONNIE STARTED!" Freddy shouted, I didn't hesitate his wish, I shot out of that room like a light…I wasn't sure what room to go but I figured he just didn't want me in the same room…in the end, I ended up in the maintenance room at first…to check my face...it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be…but…it still hurt… and each day before the auction, my head created voices…well, memories of what was said at first…IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!...and even after the auction…I was alone, my voices in my head became stronger and stronger…and then visions, visions of pain and suffering…and a reminder that…it really was…my fault…and I've…I've got to live with that…f-forever…and you know you've descended into madness when you start hallucinating a golden bear…kinda like Freddy's description…but obviously gold…but…no eyes…just a suit…no endo-skeleton…once you see him…that is all you ever see…and…last.
END OF FLASHBACK
MIKE: There's one thing I don't understand…if this place or at least the equipment inside was auctioned…how are you still here?
CHICA: I…I hid in the staff room…I locked the door.
MIKE: Surely the owners have a key…?
CHICA: Yes but not everyone knows about the trap door under the coffee table…
MIKE: Really..?
CHICA: Yes, it's used in case of fires…it leads to a safe point, somewhere in the city…
MIKE: And…what happened to Freddy…and I suppose, Bonnie as well?
CHICA: They were…t-they were…sold for scrap…(Starts crying)
MIKE: I'm…I'm so sorry…
CHICA: I killed them…
MIKE: No…no, you didn't, you didn't kill anyone…it was an accident, even I could see that, it could happen to anyone…it's…just unfortunate it happened to you…a really nice girl…don't you dare go blaming yourself…okay. Stop it, it wasn't your fault!
CHICA: It just…happened.
MIKE: Yes, an accident! It happens all the time, to everyone…to the good and to the bad. Besides, it sounds like Bonnie deserved it…
CHICA: W-What…?
MIKE: For hurting you…why would anyone hurt you? It's just…madness. I'd never hurt you…
Chica smiled from his comment and was very surprised how well he listened and never interrupted her when she spoke, Mike just…let her open up to her past and it was a massive weight off her shoulders.
MIKE: Your beautiful Chica and…you deserve all the best…
At this point, Chica pounced on Mike and their lips locked. Chica was pushing her tongue against his mouth, tapping against his teeth, he was hesitant as first but then opened up and let her in, he then wrestled her tongue with his but quick just like the kiss, he broke from it, panting slightly, gently pushing Chica away…who was worried she did the same mistake again.
MIKE: Chica, I'm sorry…I can't….I …shit, this is so unfair…I…I-I have a girlfriend, her name is Jessica…I can't…I can't do this, not to her…
CHICA: Oh…(she sighs sadly)
MIKE: I'm…sorry…I should've said something earlier…but how was I to know you…you know…and earlier, I was just…well, put it this way, it took me aback…
CHICA: Somehow I…knew you'd have a girlfriend…a good looking cute guy like you…I should've known…I knew it was too good to be true…how stupid am I?
MIKE: You're not stupid, Chica, okay? Believe me, you're not.
CHICA: She must think she's really lucky…to have a guy like you…
MIKE: Actually…we had a fight today…
CHICA: A fight…?
MIKE: Yeah, it was about this job…funnily enough, it's silly really, a little pathetic…but she'll be okay…we both just need to cool down…I just hope I haven't fucked it up
CHICA: I'm sure you haven't…she'd have to be crazy to lose a guy like you…
MIKE: (Laughs) Thanks, Chica…(Looks at his watch) I just need to go check on the camera's, quickly, bear with me.
CHICA: No worries…
Mike picked up the tablet and flipped through all the rooms of the restaurant quickly…no movement nor activity could be seen…this made Mike wonder why they needed a Night guard. Just then, something clocked in Mike's memory:
You know you've descended into madness when you start hallucinating a golden bear
Golden bear?
PHONE GUY: oh y-yeah BBBBZZZZZ seen this golden BBBBZZZZZZZZZZ
Golden?
Mike played the answering machine again…why Mike only thought of this now was weird even for him…but, was this all linked? Hell, are they even linked? Who knows…
PHONE GUY: oh y-yeah BBBBZZZZZ seen this golden BBBBZZZZZZZZZZ
Mike kept replaying the last bit over and over again…this was annoying Chica a little bit but then she clocked the phone guy saying "Golden", though she shrugged it off…surely it had nothing to do with…Golden Freddy…
MIKE: Chica…you said if you descend into madness, you see a golden…bear?
CHICA: Y-Yes…
MIKE: How many times have you…seen this Golden bear?
NOTES: Yes, ok…Mike has a girlfriend…just please; bear with me…the story is nowhere near over. Just to let you know, I won't be able to update until this weekend, sorry but work pays bills…and a lot of night shifts ahead off me… still, I hope you've enjoyed it so far.
