Gack!" Was the only thing Jared said before the gears and other animatronic parts tore into and pierced his flesh. He didn't bother to stop the tears that cascaded his now blood stained cheeks.

Or what was left of them. The pain was too unbearable for him, and yet he found himself unable to let out a cry. Blood seeped and spilled out of the seams of the animatronic and pooled around him in one big red puddle. He barely saw his reflection in the crimson lake that now surrounded him. He noticed that his vision was also starting to fade, and it frightened him.

"Jared?"

He whimpered in pain when he felt the animatronic's jaws begin to move. He tried to move, but found it impossible with him permanently locked in place.

"Jared? What's wrong? Are you all right, friend? Are you comfortable?"

Oh, how Jared wanted to laugh right there and then. If his vocal cords hadn't been pierced through by a beam, and if he had enough strength in him, he would. But all he could do was cry silently from the pain he now felt over the fact that... that...

"I'm sorry if it's a little tight in there. But don't worry! At least we'll be together now!"

His best friend... His only real best friend since childhood...

"Just like we've always wanted."

... Has betrayed him...

"S-spri..." It hurt to even try, but at least Jared could credit himself for giving it a shot. His vocal cords are just too damaged. And whenever he did try to speak, it would only cause him more physical pain.

I wonder if they're taking joy in seeing me suffer like this, He thought to himself. The Original Animatronics had come back to haunt him years after he was beaten by Logan. They are what prompted him to hide in his "best friend" from them. She promised him, She would protect him. She promised him he would be safe.

SHE LIED.

"Try to get some rest, okay Jared? You must be exhausted from today. I know it's not the most comfortable place to sleep in, but you'll get use to it."

I hate you, Jared wanted to tell her. He felt himself slipping away in each passing minute. The gears and beams seem to be digging and embedding themselves more into his flesh; tearing away through the purple fabric of his clothing.

He wanted to get out. He wanted to be free. Ignoring the pain the best he could, he proceeded to move violently in the suit. The sudden movement alerted the animatronic and he instantly kept still. Loud crunching noises were suddenly heard from inside, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Woah, woah. Calm yourself, my friend. There's no need to throw such a nasty fit."

Everything hurt even more now. Jared had begun to wish that he didn't do what he did. His vision was starting to become blurry and felt everything in his body begin to stop working. Heart; lungs; everything.

By now the tears had stopped and he found himself become increasingly sweaty. He felt very hot. And something in the suit smelled, too. He hated it in here. He hated those Logan and The Animatronics. But most of all: he hated her.

"Goodnight, Jared. Talk to you tomorrow..."

You lying fuck, The man thought bitterly while feeling the life in him finally drain. I fucking hate you. You lied to me. I thought you were my friend! I... I... He couldn't bring himself to hate her, even as he finally lost consciousness.

It would be several days until Glitterstrap would finally catch on that something wasn't right with her friend.

"It's been so long since I've been able to walk around. I hope you don't mind that, friend."

As usual, she got silence.

The rabbit lowered her ears slightly and sighed. During the long days of being forgotten by the world and left to rot in the dark, her friend has not once said a word to her. Not since she managed to trap him inside her body. She just couldn't bring herself to let it her friend go for good.

So when she saw him run to her for help, she saw it as a good opportunity to finally keep him for herself forever. She didn't want to be alone. The Animatronics have long since been scraped, and Toy Freddy and the others practically forgetting about her existence like everyone else. But at least she had Jared. She cared too much for the human to let him go.

"Heh... You know... You've been giving me the silent treatment for the last couple of days... Surely you'd say something to me by now..."

An uneasy feeling suddenly swept over her. During the last couple of days she's been happily chatting along with her friend; mostly bringing up old memories during their days at Freddy's Anime Convention. Their "Golden Years" together. But Jared never said anything back to her. She always that she was angry at with him because she purposely trapped him.

"Jared? Are you...all right? Jar-"

That's when she heard it. When she moved her right arm she heard a loud, sickening crack. She looked over and her normally half-lidded eyes widened when he spotted a thick liquid suddenly ooze out from her elbow and seams.

"W-what the..."

She attempted to reach out and touch the strange liquid with her other hand, but got the exact same results. The uneasiness in her started to grow each time he heard a crack. He didn't know a lot about humans, but he knew this wasn't supposed to happen. He failed to realize just how fragile human beings are.

"J-Jared... I... O-oh no..."

It's funny how it took her so long to realize that she had been talking to a dead man this whole time; that Jared has long since expired in her. The rabbit slowly got to her feet and winced when hlshe heard the cracking noise in her grow louder.

More of that strange liquid started to ooze out of her all over the place and slowly pool around her in the form of a dark crimson puddle. She stared down at her shaky hands as everything came to together.

She had killed her best friend...

"No... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The rabbit screeched in sheer horror while clutching her head in denial. "NO! JARED! WILSOOOOOOOOOON!"

Glitterstrap screamed as loud and high as her voice box would allow her. Blood spilled out of her eye sockets like tears while more crunching was heard coming from inside her. The noise itself sickened her and all she could do was scream over the fact that she was now alone.

"I wanted us to be together! I WANTED US TO BE HAPPY! YOU SAID WE WOULD BE TOGETHER FOREVER! ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANTED? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME LIKE THIS!? JAAAAARRRRRED!"

In a blind race, the animatronic started to attack herself. Tearing out pieces of her suit and mutilating herself to the point she wouldn't even recognize herself. The more she tore away the more she started to see her friend's butchered corpse inside.

The sight only made her lose it more, and she started to bash on the walls while screaming loudly to the uncaring darkness the name of her deceased friend. Eventually she collapsed on the floor and curled up into a ball as she continued to "cry" loudly.

"Jared... Jared..."

"... Glitterstrap."

The rabbit perked her now broken ears in surprise and slightly raised his head to the sound of the voice. "J-Jared? Oh, Jared!" There was hope in her voice. Not knowing that, after sitting alone in the dark for so long, she had lost what little sanity she had left and started to imagine hearing her friend's voice.

"It's me."


This is the epilogue for Jared and Springtime Bonnie.
