Chapter 13: The Pact
Once he was sure that the human wouldn't catch him, Shaff materialized himself in the bedroom with the sleeping bears. Even though they didn't know it, he was keeping his eye on them to make sure that Shab's tomfoolery didn't get out of hand. He floated over to the bedside and looked down at the sleeping bears. Using his magic, the purple bear entered the mind of Freddy. The shadow wanted to make sure Freddy didn't lose his mind, even if it would irritate Shab, he would be a father soon and every kid needs a proper dad. Upon entering his mind, Shaff's fears were confirmed when he saw basically nothing. Not seeing anything may not sound bad, but when it comes to the mind it is one of the worst things that can be discovered because when it comes to regression spells, it means the mind is also regressing.
"Don't worry Freddy," Shaff said quietly, "I won't let you lose your mind." The shadow knew he would have a hard time keeping that promise though, the mind is a fragile thing and he isn't exactly an expert on magic that can manipulate the mind. He knew some of the basics though, but so far what he has done hasn't kept the youth spell from affecting Freddy. Shaff let out a sigh when he came to a realization, there really isn't anything more he could do to Freddy's mind to keep the youth from taking over.
He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Teddy mumble in his sleep and roll over. The shadow just stared at him for a minute when he got an idea. If he couldn't stop the youth from spreading through Freddy's mind, maybe he could instead transfer it to Teddy's. 'He has been doing a good job at resisting it,' he thought, checking the bear's mind and finding that he had pretty much all of his mind in tact. Shaff just wasn't sure though, in theory it was a great plan to save Freddy's mind but it could ruin Teddy's. Not only that, what if the youth started spreading back through Freddy's mind, he may end up destroying both their minds. Shaff let out another sigh, when he realized he had no other choice, if he wanted to save Freddy he had to put Teddy at risk.
The bear wasted no time, put his paws on the sleeping bear's foreheads, and went back into both their minds to start the procedure. First he search all of Freddy's mind for the youth that was trying to destroy it. Even though he tried to be careful, Shaff did accidently go into a memory every so often and felt everything Freddy had at the period of time. Once he was sure that he found all the youth he could get too without putting the bear in danger, Shaff pulled his paw away from Freddy, pulling a small orb made of magic from the bear's head. It then was absorbed into Shaff's body and he transferred it into Teddy. Once it was all done and over with, Shaff opened a portal to take him back into the Shadow realm, where he and Shab lived. Before walking into the portal, the shadow glanced back at the bears, "I'll fix you two eventually." With that he walked into the portal.
When he woke up, Teddy saw that Freddy was still asleep, and that the pacifier that Kate gave him was still in his mouth. "Why did she give me this stupid thing?" he asked himself, not expecting an answer. Then something strange happened, he heard a voice in his head. 'If you suck on it, you'll see why.' it said. Teddy was a little freaked out, he never heard a voice in his head before, even when he was talking to himself. Even though it was very strange, he found himself compelled to do what the voice said and suck on the pacifier. He immediately spit it out, but the voice still told him to do it and Teddy found he kinda wanted to do it now too. Glancing down at the discarded item, he felt a little embarrassed that he was even think about it, let alone going to follow through with it. He looked over at Freddy to make sure he was still asleep, the last he certainly wanted was someone seeing him sucking on a pacifier. Teddy quickly picked up the pacifier and put it back into his mouth.
Freddy woke up with a soft groan, his head hurt and there was a strange noise that didn't help. Slowly opening his eyes, Freddy thought that he had to be dreaming because Teddy was sitting not too far away from him sucking on a pacifier. "Teddy, what are you doing?" Hearing Freddy's voice, the bear immediately spat the pacifier back out and tried hiding it behind his back. He then turned to Freddy, trying not to look guilty, but failing, "N-nothing," he said, "just w-waiting for you to get up." "Uh huh," Freddy began sitting up, "and why were you sucking on a pacifier?" Teddy chuckled nervously, "W-what pacifier?" Freddy just rolled his eyes, "You know what forget it, I have a headache and don't really care right now." Teddy sighed in relief.
After looking around, Freddy realized that he didn't recognize the place they were in. "Where are we anyway?" Teddy gave him a strange look, "We're at Mike and Kate's place, don't you remember the others had a job they had to go to and need them to watch us?" Freddy scratched his head, "Really, I don't remember coming here." "Freddy," the lighter bear began, "we've been here for hours, how can you not remember?" Freddy just shrugged, "I don't know." The bears then heard footsteps approaching the door and it opened to reveal Kate. "Hey you two," she began, "the others are back, time for you two to go home." She picked up the bears, and faced Freddy, "See Freddy, I told you Bonnie would be back." He gave her a strange look, "Um, ok?" Kate let out a sigh of relief when she didn't her a lisp, 'Thank goodness he's talking normal again. I did not want to be the one to tell Bonnie.'
In the Shadow realm, a cosmic colored rabbit known as Shab or Shadow was watching his prank unfolded using a mirror he enchanted. It was going so well, but for some reason Freddy seemed to have regained his adult mind. He always got irritated when someone screwed with his plans, especially when it was just starting to get good. At the very least, he knew that only one person could've messed up his prank, because he was the only one that could use magic on Freddy. 'Shaff,' he thought, 'When you get back-', he didn't get to finish his thought, because he felt a surge of magic appear in the foyer of their house. He knew it was Shaff, since the other magic users that could get into their place were currently away. Shab got a grin, when a thought came to mind, why not have a little fun with his friend.
The portal that Shaff made closed behind him as he entered the foyer of Shab and his house. Since they had magic and the shadow realm is pretty much an endless void, the shadow creatures were able to make their house anyway they seemed fit. It was a decent size, it had two floor and doors that could lead to rooms bigger than the actual house. They both work together on the architecture, giving the house a classy look. Shaff chose the colors that they painted it, so he chose his favorite dark shades of blue, purple, and a little black. Shab got to decorate and he made just as random as he could get it. The doors and windows were all shapes and sizes, so just let to no where or a brick wall, and some were just impossible to get to.
Shaff began to make his way to his room, magic takes a lot outta you, when he saw Shab enter it. 'What is he up to?' he thought. The bear didn't like anyone in his room, and quickly opened the door to find….nothing? "Shab!" he spoke out loud, "I saw you come in here, show yourself!" What he got in response way a chuckle. The bear was getting irritated, "Shab, I said-"
SPLASH!
Suddenly, Shaff was drenched and a bucket was at his feet. Shab appeared in the air above him, laughing at the prank he pulled on his roommate. Shaff on the other hand, didn't think it was funny at all. "Shab why'd you do that!?" he said, obviously mad at him. Once he was done laughing, the rabbit floated down to him. "Because, you were messing with my fun!" he said, crossing his arms. Shaff glared at him, "Freddy was losing his mind!" "So?" Shaff facepalmed, "He's going to be a father!" Shab rolled his eyes, "What do I care." Shaff couldn't believe what he was hearing, "Ok, maybe you didn't hear me. He is going to be a FATHER!" The rabbit groaned and walked out of the room. But Shaff was hot on his tail, "Are you even listening to me?" Shab turned to face the bear with a annoyed look, "Shaff, I don't care, alright. I couldn't care less if he is going to become a father."
Shab let out a yelp of surprise when the bear suddenly pinned him up against the wall. "Now you listen here," Shaff said, a burning fury in his eyes, "I am NOT going to let that kid not have a proper father!" The rabbit then got a grin, when he just realized he has leverage over the bear. "Ok, then how about we make a deal." Shaff narrowed his eyes at the cosmic rabbit, "What kind of deal?" His grin got bigger, "Well, since you can't change Freddy back without my permission how about this. You have to do whatever I say and you must not interfere with my fun anymore and I'll let you change Freddy back only when certain conditions are met." Shaff dropped the rabbit, it was a decent deal, except for the fact that he couldn't help Freddy. "Can I atleast fix his mind if he starts changing again?" Shab shook his head, "Nope you have to let whatever happens happen. It just ruins my fun otherwise."
Shaff groaned, this was the best he was gonna get and he really didn't have any other choice if he wanted to help Freddy. "Fine," he said, reluctantly, "I'll agree too your terms if you tell me the conditions that need to be met." Shab raised an eyebrow at him, "Really, do you think I was born yesterday? I'm not telling you because you'll just make them happen. You'll know when they are met, you'll feel it once we make the pact." The rabbit held out his hand (paw?), "Do we have a deal?" Shaff looked at the rabbit's hand for a minute before taking it, "Fine, we have a deal." Shab smiled, "Excellent, now," a light entwined the two's hands, "by magic be bound, this pact is made. By the terms be set we both shall honor our sides. I Shadow Bonnie hereby grant permission to Shadow Freddy to remove the spell from Freddy Fazbear as long as he agrees to help me with my fun, not fix Freddy's mind again till he is an adult again, and wait till certain conditions I have decided upon are met. With this my pact conditions are decided." Shaff felt a surge of energy shoot up his arm indicating it was his turn. " I, Shadow Freddy, hereby agree too Shadow Bonnie's conditions of this pact. I agree to follow all conditions as long as he keeps his side of the pact to remove the spell. With this, I bound myself to this pact." The light in between them intensifies and they begin to talk in sync, "With this pact I agree to be bound to thee. Once we make this pact, we shall never go back."
The light then vanished as then spoke these final words leaving a strange symbol on the back of the shadow's hands. Shab got his grin back as he inspected the symbol, "The pact has been formed. You know the rules, don't break them and I'll keep my end of the agreement." The rabbit started walking to his room, but turned back to the bear, "Oh yeah, since you fixed Freddy's mind, you're going to have to make up for that." Shaff looked down at the symbol on his body, knowing he has no choice but to agree, "Alright, what do you want done?" Shab's grin got bigger, "Tomorrow, I want it to be a surprise for Freddy when he wakes up tomorrow morning." The rabbit then left to go in his room leaving the purple bear standing in the hall alone. Shaff went into his room and gave the symbol that signifies the pact on his hand one last glance. 'This isn't going to end well.'
Freddy: *has his legs crossed* Fox, get me to a bathroom!
Me: Freddy, you're wearin' it.
Freddy: I am NOT using a diaper!
Me: Ok, the I guess I'll just have to...*starts tickling him*
Freddy: HAHA, n-no stop- *his eyes go wide and he stops laughing*
Me: *picks him up* Alright, now lets get you changed.
If anyone's seen/read Harry Potter, then you may notice the way they made the pact is similar to the unbreakable vow in the Half-blood Prince. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed and see you guys in the next chapter.
