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 Five (Part 1) _ Emotionless Boy
"Hawkeye, where is Alphonse?"
Riza looked around the room, only seeing herself, the Colonel, and Edward staring down at her. She turned around, remembering his words to stay behind her...she couldn't speak; her words completely caught in her throat.
"Where is he? Where is my brother?"
Hawkeye stared down at her dog, who was slowly waking up. He licked her hand, but she just stared down at him. Tears fell onto his fur, and her body just wouldn't stop shaking. "He promised to stay right behind me...I heard him...he was behind me...he..."
Out of complete rage and hatred, Edward grabbed her collar and tightened his fist ready to punch her in the face. Tears filled with anger fell down his cheeks, "Damn you! You let him die! You let Alphonse die! I'll kill you!" He slammed down his fist but Mustang stopped him. Roy's hand instantly bruised, and he stared into his eyes. They were dead, he was feeling all types of emotions. Winry...and now...Alphonse...they were both dead. Gone.
"You had to go back for that damn dog didn't you?! Look at what she did! This is your fault...this is...ugh!" Edward weakly fell to his knees and began to sob uncontrollably. His brother was dead. Gone forever. He promised that they would get their bodies back, he promised that they would always be together...and now everything he cares about was gone. All that anger he felt from losing Winry was gone; it was melting into sorrow and despair.
"Alphonse...n-no...please no...not him. No..." Edward continued to sob loudly. Letting all of his emotions out. Tears falling down his red cheeks. This pain...it was even worse from when Winry had left him too. Everyone he cared about, everyone he ever loved deeply, everyone was gone. Nothing more than a memory that would soon fade. "N-no...this isn't real…" he wanted to keep telling himself that. But the more he did, the more tears escaped his eyes. Edward Elric was weak, his heart completely smashed...he decided...it was best to finally give up. Let the world take him. He tried to be strong...he really did. But everything was against him. There wasn't a purpose for him to live anymore.
All three of them felt their vision blur, but slowly fade back in...it was a signal that the last day had begun.
Hawkeye stared at him once her vision was clear again, remembering that last animatronic to chase her was Foxy. Foxy must have tackled him...and stole his soul. He must have grown weak and was unable to escape. She shook her head, burying her face in Hayate's fur; not wanting to accept Alphonse's death. She cradled him in her arms as he continued to whimper and lick tears that fell onto her hand.
"This can't be happening..." she cried. "I didn't ask for any of this to happen...I-."
"Well, it is." The voice startled her. Seeing Mustang looking at her shocked her. "We can't sit here and sulk. We have to make it through the last day. If hadn't you noticed, we didn't lose consciousness. That means that the end is drawing near. We made it to the 5th day."
Edward and Hawkeye were suddenly faced with reality when the phone rang...but...that wasn't possible. Mustang picked up, Edward staggering to his feet trying to listen. Once Mustang picked up the phone he just listened.
"Help me Brother...help me."
Edward's eyes darkened, his skin forming goosebumps all over his body. His body quaked as he snatched the phone from the Colonel's hand, "Alphonse! Alphonse! Oh my god!"
"Edward," Edward's heart jumped again, this time hearing Winry as well, "Help me Edward."
Edward dropped the phone, completely ignoring his injury and rushing to open the door. Roy gaped, "NO!" and grabbed him. Me made sure that he couldn't reach the door. But suddenly, two figures appeared in the window, making everything freeze around them. Hawkeye shot up, and stared with horror. All three of their brains shut down...in front of them were Winry and Alphonse.
"Help us!"
"Please," Alphonse cried, "It's ok. Everything is ok now. They're gone. Come on out and join me Big Brother. Help me be happy again."
"ALPHONSE!" Edward tried fighting Mustang, but he only held him back, "Let go of me damn it! That's my brother! Please no, he's my brother! It's Winry! We can't do this to her! They'll be killed if we don't save them! Let them in! No, I can't lose them again..."
As the Colonel held him back, letting him fall to his knees leaving him completely broken and sobbing on the floor. Mustang didn't know how to react. He wanted to comfort him...but their lives were on the line. He had to remain strong and firm like a Colonel should be...for everyone's sake. Hawkeye glanced over at the battery, nearly almost dropping Hayate in her arms. The battery had already dropped down to 20% and the night was fresh...only 12:00. She checked the cameras. On the left were Alphonse and Winry...but behind them...was something even more shocking. The Marionette was staring at them. It's hands were attracted to Winry and Alphonse, as if it were controlling them...controlling their dead bodies…
"Mustang, the Marionette is with them!" as soon as Hawkeye spoke, Alphonse banged on the window. Black ooze began to pour out of his armor, and Winry's face turned pale like a ghost. Her eyes then flashed red before turning back, completely throwing them all off.
"Why didn't you join me Hawkeye? Why don't you live mother? Mother will take care of us...we are her children...we always play nice. Don't you even love me anymore?" Alphonse's voice twisted into a low and dark voice. Edward shook his head, holding his ears and trying to get rid of the emotional pain he was feeling.
"I joined Mother…" Winry added, "It feels so nice to have a mommy! Don't you want your mommy Edward?" she questioned.
"...!" Edward opened his eyes looking at Winry's crooked and demonic smile. She continued to laugh putting her hand on the glass and letting it slide down until a huge smug covered her face. Roy was speechless, he had never seen anything so cruel and dark in his entire life.
"Where is the boy?" Mustang yelled. He moved Edward over where he almost completely melted into the floor and walked up to the glass. Winry and Alphonse hissed, as if Roy's courage was hurting them.
"The Alchemist that sent us here...he sent a boy here too didn't he? A young boy. He saved us from getting killed one time too by the animatronics. I have a feeling that his soul is playing with us...isn't that right?"
Everything went silent, and for a few moments the three felt some ease wash over them. That was until they heard harsh laughter. It started low and demonic, until its pitched increased, sounding like a little kids laugh.
"He took me away...and sent me to this world…" his voice echoed, "Then I met mommy, the Marionette. Her children...Freddy...Bonnie...Chica...and Foxy….they contain human souls...souls of children murdered by the evil of this world. Adults and Alchemists are bad...we must rid them of this world...we must...for the sake of other kids…"
"Is that why...you didn't hurt Hayate?" Riza asked, her voice shaking.
"The dog is innocent, but you are not. We will continue to play this fun game with you. You won't make it to the end of the day!" the child laughed with a cruel and mocking tone.
"Then why? Why would you save us and then try to kill us? It doesn't make any sense." Roy yelled. Riza had never heard him so angry. He was starting to show signs that this place was breaking him apart.
"Of course it doesn't...you're an adult...you'll never understand!" after those words, the room instantly shook. Winry and Alphonse stepped away from the glass window, Edward crying after them with tears pouring down his face. Mustang searched the cameras, seeing Golden Freddy suit on the left side. The right side was now clear...the battery was at 3%.
"Make it to the last office...if you dare...there you will face a difficult challenge…"
Both doors shot open, and Golden Freddy immediately ran at them. Riza, clinging onto Hayate ran out first, followed by Edward, then Mustang. They heard screaming and laughing...this was it. This was the last time they would all be running, trying to find an office. It was now or never. They had to make it out alive...carry on Alphonse and Winry's legacy…it was the right thing to do.
Edward kept looking forward letting Mustang dashin in front of him and Hawkeye both and lead the way. As they ran, Hawkeye could see the old animatronics after them...the Toys seemed as though they were no longer around. Foxy was the fastest screaming and gaining speed on Edward quickly. He could feel his foot burning from the pain and his speed was decreasing.
"Hawkeye! I need you to lead! NOW!"
She felt her heart pound against her chest, "No not again! I don't want to lose you both like I did Alphonse!"
"Hawkeye!" Mustang stopped running, letting her pass him up. He then waited for Edward to catch up and scooped him up and began running, "That's an order!"
She looked back at him, tears were in her foggy whimpered as he looked up at her, licking her arm and barking. She could do this...she would do this. Fire lit up in her inside her, turning sharp corners trying to stop an office. She kept her ears open, making sure that Mustang and Edward were behind her and her sharp eyes on the lookout for an office.
Mustang struggled to carry Edward in his arms while he ran, he was tired. Extremely tired, and even thinking about running made his feet throb. "Colonel, just drop me...there's no reason for me to go on anymore. I'm dead weight! Just let me be with them again. I can't take this anymore!"
"Shut up Fullmetal! Shut (huff!) up! Before I-UGH!" Mustang yelped as he stumbled, giving Foxy an even bigger advantage of catching up. Hawkeye saw this and slowed down, but he looked at her with concerning eyes. She looked at his, worried for him. But he managed to recover!
To their right, Chica cut off Hawkeye from Mustang and Edward. She stopped, screaming their names. He turned and took a left, "JUST KEEP GOING!" he screamed, his lungs rattling. She put down Hayate quickly and signaled for him to find a way to get to them. After cutting countless corners she finally...found an office. She waited...not hearing Mustang's footsteps.
Hayate looked up at her, but she shook her head. "No they're coming! They have to be...they have to be…" she still waited, feeling her heart pound. And then, footsteps were heard. Loud, rusted, clunky ones. She wanted to believe it was them. But the more she listened, the more she realized that it would soon be her worst nightmare.
Riza stood her ground until she saw the eyes of Freddy and Bonnie lurking near her...but when all hope seemed lost...Mustang rushed in front of them, packing Edward. Sweat was pouring down his face and he looked like he was about to collapse. They both forced themselves into the office and instantly slammed the doors.
They had won the boy's final game of tag.
