Week 4 Night 5 Catalyst

MICHEAL SCHMIDT's POV

The week was nearing to an end. I could feel a nice winter breeze fly straight into me. I walked along the sidewalk. Over in the park I could see. Trees. Trees with no leaves. Almost one week till Christmas. I wonder how Angel and Zach are doing. Angel. Why are you so? Arggggh! I sat down on a bench. The bench was freezing cold. Then some runners ran by. They were only wearing tank tops. Idiots.

I started walking back to my house. I walked by Freddy Fazbears pizza. I'm almost done working there. So many adventures happened there. Horrifying and happy. Hilarious and dangerous. I won't miss the place. It's funny, I thought I would never be able to memorize the way from this place to my house. I did.

I started to jog back to my house. The cold air biting my nose and ears. The pulse of heat flowing through my body was almost like a yin and a yang. A perfect balance. I felt calm.

Angel's POV

My room smelled like a funeral home. I stared at my ceiling. Memories from my childhood came flooding back to me. The good old days. The days of being a kid.

KNOCK KNOCK. I heard someone knocking on the door. "Come in" I said. The door opened to reveal my mother. "Mom" I said. "Sweety" she said. She came over to my bed and sat down by me. "What is the trouble?" she asked. "It's nothing" I said. "That's a lie, every time you would ever get upset you would come in here and stare at that blasted fan" she said. "It really is nothing" I replied. "Is it Mike?" she asked. I tried to change the subject "Mom how are you and dad doing". "Don't change the subject Angel" she said. "What would you do if your husband left to go fight in war?" I asked her. "Why… I would support him" she said. "Why, when he would risk his life and your own if you support him?" I replied. "Because I love him" she said. "You do love Mike?" she asked me.

I sat there and stared at her for a couple seconds. I just sat there. I looked up but mom was gone. When it was once daylight was now dark. I sat here all day. How? Zach came into my room. "Mommy?" he asked. He sounded worried. "Yes sweety" I said. "Where is daddy?" he asked. "Daddy is on an important trip" I told him. "I thought you said we were on a trip?" Zach asked. Tears started forming into my eyes. My own son was catching me in my own lie.

When could my baby boy have grown up so much? "Mommy, I miss daddy" Zach said. "I do too" I sobbed. "Come over here and give mommy a hug" I said. Zach came over to me and hugged me. I do love Micheal. I do. I do. I can't keep away from him. Not with all of this guilt. Zach fell asleep, crying in my arms. I looked over my shoulder. I stared at the phone in my room. I laid Zach on the bed. Then I made my way over to the phone.

I decided I would leave a message for him at work. "Mikey? This is Angel. I hope you're still alive. I don't hate you, I don't… I just… I really needed some time away from you, from the town, to think. I miss you so much…I'm sorry I gave up on you. After all that you have done I shouldn't have given up on you".

MICHEAL SCHMIDT's POV

"So I hope you can forgive me, for my actions. I can't come back yet, I have made some volunteering deals and I have to stay and help out for a few days. I hope you can forgive me" Click. The message ended. I sat there in my chair. Tears came to my eyes.

"She still loves me" I muttered under my breath. It was only five after four in the morning. This was an easy night so far. I walked over to the right door and peered out into the hallway. At the very end, I could see Freddy's glowing eyes. I stepped back into the office. I shut the door. I had enough power to make it through the night with both doors shut. I shut the left door.

Within seconds I heard footsteps coming down the right hallway. I turned on the window light to see Freddy. "We need to talk" Freddy said. "About what?" I asked. "About your stay here".

"What about my stay here?" I asked. "You can leave or die here" Freddy said. "Okay, this isn't new news. You've said this to me before" I said. "I'm more serious now than before" Freddy said. "I'm not going to risk lives for you to just waste" Freddy added.

"I'm no catalyst Schmidt. Foxy, Bonnie, and Chica, they are my family. We were once living breathing souls, and we lost life. But we got it back…we got it back. We got a second chance. Now when Ruskev Sludgeon comes here… He will kill Mr. Fazbear, You, your family, and then he will dismantle us. I'm not the bad guy here Micheal. I'm the good guy. I'm trying to protect my family. Bonnie, he's full of emotions right now. Chica, she is scared. Foxy is planning a way to defend this place. And you, you are just a problem. If you would just DIE THEN MAYBE RUSKEV WILL LEAVE US ALONE! You're just a coward behind these doors, just prolonging the inevitable. You are just a plague to us. You are a coward that won't face us, you won't face your boss, you won't face Sludge, and you're just a coward" Freddy said.

I stared out the window into Freddy's eyes. I tried to think of a comeback. But I couldn't. Everything that Freddy just said, was the truth. I could feel my eyes watering up. My breathing deepened. I looked back out the window and Freddy was gone. I waited for a couple of seconds. And then I heard it. The six o'clock chime. I stared at my tablet. I almost dropped tears onto the tablet.
