Chapter 29:
Reality Versus Fiction
"Oh my God. What have I done? Rita's terrified of Five Nights at Freddy's and I just ran over to her and it's my fault that's she passed out and I should have just stayed where I was and explained it all to her but I didn't so now she's passed out-"
Rita hesitantly opened her eyes. A surprised and terrified yelp escaped her lips when she saw Bonnie staring down at her with blue eyes. The animatronic was crouched beside her; it was a horrifying thing to notice.
"An' ye just scared her again, matey," Foxy piped up.
The blue eyes widened. Shouldn't his eyes be red? "Oh no!" he cried out. "Rita, I'm so so so sorry and please forgive me and I didn't want to scare you but I was stupid-"
She was struck by sudden realization. "James?!" she exclaimed in disbelief. His voice sounded different, but she would recognize the frantic talking anywhere. Her older brother had a habit of talking that way whenever he was worried. It had been that way since they were kids.
He nodded.
Sitting up, she looked around the room for Second and Lorcan. She found the two of them huddled in the corner. Lorcan was somewhat effectively shielding Second and staring at the exchange between Rita and James, while the slime let out a terrified pew every couple of seconds.
Memories from an hour earlier came flooding back. "James," she started, eyes widening. "Lucy stuffed you into that thing, didn't she?! I can't believe we trusted her! Now she's killed you! When I get my hands on her-"
"Argh, ye landlubber!" the pirate animatronic interrupted her. "Ye be jumpin' to th' wrong conclusions!"
"The real animatronics are out on the stage and in Pirate's Cove," Freddy helpfully interjected. His eyes were strangely as golden as Foxy's instead of the blue or brown from the games. "It's us, Rita. We're just wearing the armor from the FNAF mod. Lucy modified the armor sets so we sound like the animatronics when we're wearing them. She's great at technical stuff like that. You should have seen what she did for our school play last year."
"But me don't know if it work if ye be singing...Di, ye like Five Nights at Freddy's: The Musical, correct? How about ye sing Freddy's part to test me theory out-"
"How about no?"
"Ye be no fun," Lucy replied, crossing her arms. Her gaze turned back to Rita. "Anyways, me modified Chica's armor fer ye. Th' plan be to take th' spots of th' real animatronics. When whatever be followin' us comes, th' four 'o us will terrify them so they won't ever come back 'tis place. Then 'tis buildin' can be our base while we try to return home!"
Diane added, "But first I need to calm Second down. It ran off when Lucy helped me into the armor."
Lucy shook her head. "Di, we be lacking th' time. Ye can do that afterwards. We need to get into th' positions before our followers arrive."
"I feel absolutely ridiculous."
James spoke up from the other side of Diane. "You're not a big purple bunny with a guitar."
"I'm an anthropomorphic chicken wearing a 'let's eat' bib as my main article of clothing," Rita argued. "I think I have you beat."
Lucy had hidden the real animatronics behind the stage with their help; while the three were standing awkwardly on the stage, she was hidden in Pirate's Cove. Lorcan remained in the storage room with Second. Neither of the two had budged when the four finally left.
Suddenly, they heard the door open. "Hello?" a voice hesitantly called out. It was young and masculine. Though its owner seemed human enough from the voice, there was a certain way he spoke that didn't sound quite right.
His footsteps were slow; he would take one and then pause as if he wanted to add to the drama of the situation.
Then he stepped into the main room.
His entire outfit was black. It was nearly impossible to make out his features, and the reason for that wasn't the low level of lighting (Lucy had suggested turning the majority of the lights off to add to the fear). His outfit covered almost all of him – the only spots not covered being the tips of his fingers and the area around his eyes. She was horrified to see claws on his fingers and black scales around his eyes.
He stared at the three of them for several seconds. Then he looked away. They each took the opportunity to move into a position different than their first; the beginning of the plan that Lucy had concocted.
His gaze returned to them. "I'm just imagining things," he tried to reassure himself, but Rita could easily hear the terror in his voice.
Diane hopped off the stage and landed in front of him. "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza!" she exclaimed into the microphone, giving a wide, sweeping gesture that encompassed the entirety of the main room.
His purple eyes widened in horror. He tried to back away from her, but bumped into James instead. "Also known as your doom!" Rita's older brother explained. All of this had been planned out by Lucy; the three were merely actors in her makeshift play.
The pirate in question pushed the curtain open slightly with her hook and walked off of Pirate's Cove. She marched over to their follower with swift strides. "We be needing a new animatronic. And ye be th' perfect lad for th' job!"
It was her turn. Hopefully, she would be able to remember everything she was supposed to say. "Ooh, another boy! The others are so boring, and so disgusting! Why don't I choose your suit, and then we can have some fun together~"
The scream that left him didn't belong to a human. It was a scream that Rita recognized far too well – the scream of an enderman. The circle they had formed around him broke. All were absolutely horrified by what their follower had to be hiding underneath his clothes.
They had all been treating this as a game. They had been ignorant to the fact that they could die, ignorant to the fact that they were in trouble. And now, faced with the truth, none of them knew what to do.
He rushed away from them and threw open the door to the storage room. It slammed shut. When Lucy finally walked over to open it, it was locked from the inside.
They all exchanged terrified glances. And then Diane spoke something that made all of their hearts stop.
"Lorcan and Second are in there."
