Chapter 30
Reality
A/N: Maybe.. In reality
Spring has not changed.
The former murderer…
May not be so former anymore…
The large less damaged and more goldish rabbit sighed as it shuffled into a familiar alleyway.
"...Of all the places for us to meet henry…" He said darkly as the man entered view hands in his pockets as he looked at his old friend with.. Anger? Shock?
"...I thought it would be ironic… since i know what your doing…" The man said grimly and the rabbit looked aghast and surprised.
"...What do you mean? You sound incredibly serious." He said suspicion rising in his voice.
The man threw down a fine print paper on the ground.
The rabbit hesitantly picked it up and read it.
"...A-again?" He asked looking at the…
New murders.
"...Accept this time… the wraiths signals of death aren't there…
They were killed.
In the exact same way you killed her." He said quietly and the rabbit realized what he was saying. Random drops of rain began to fall pelleting the uneven cobblestone ground.
"...Henry…. You have to trust me… i wouldn't do it aga-"
The man put a finger in front of him telling him to not speak.
"...Charlie does not know your alive yet… she would be glad and try to meet you again… i can't risk that anymore… not when it's obvious your back to doing… 'this'." He said quietly and the rabbits eyes flashed…
Red.
"...you really… t-think… i w-would betray y-you?" He asked and the man looked away venom in his voice as he spoke again.
"...You did it once." He said as he turned around and walked away.
"...i-" William tried to speak and then immediately stopped.
He looked down at the paper and read it again.
"...w-.." He skimmed the list of victims until he stopped breathing.
The names 'Gabriel Jeremy Susie and Fritz appeared multiple times throughout the list, each with a different last name.
"..." he sighed as he saw a name he recognized and kept the paper as he looked at himself.
"...Wonder if this still works…"
His legs buckled as a very familiar demonic power flew through him.
A power he got from being possessed by Hybrid.
He found himself in the afton household.
The 4 he cared about asleep he sighed and looked around himself getting up after his legs could move.
"...Sooo… getting desperate huh?" He looked up at the spiritual child in front of him.
"...Hybrid… it's sad to say i'm not surprised… your smart… is a week not done yet though?" He asked and the boy laughed a little.
"...A chubby little semi soulless toy bear told my… 'captor'.. The situation and they allowed me to stay till i dealt with this."
The boy held a coffee? He drank it… apparently he just seemed transparent…
"...You can maintain physical form like Fritz… not surprising given your relation."
"...The reason i told you and Chris is so he did not go hunting for answers when the time comes."
The rabbit sighed recalling when the spirit had appeared 3 days ago to warn them of the coming threats and tell him his relation to the child he had now adopted at this point.
"...Well… i think our 'problem' is framing me… and Henry fell for it."
The ghostly child chuckled. "...I find it hard to believe someone as brilliant as henry fell victim to the plays of that thing."
The rabbit now had his turn to fling the paper like a frisbee towards Hybrid who caught it with his free hand.
"...It's hard to tell otherwise to be honest." The rabbit said as Hybrid looked at the paper.
"...I see your point… this victims wounds are entirely like the ones yo-... I inflict upon my victims."
"...Let's be honest… you're not the only one with blood on your hands." The rabbit said dryly as he leaned against the wall.
"..Maybe… But what's done is done… the only one who should not be happy right now… is cassidy… and the families of these victims."
The boy put a hand over the list of victims noticing the same thing Spring did.
"...He obviously has knowledge of our shared past.." The boy decided.
"...Gee ya think? What gave it away? The same means or murder? MAybe the victims he chose! MAYBE THE DAMNED FACT THAT HE KNEW HOW TO TRICK HENRY?!" The child stepped back in shock at the sudden outburst.
"...You seem pissed off." He stated the obvious.
"..Theres a problem…" he took the paper back which Hybrid gave up without a fight and turned it back to him a animatronic finger on one of the names.
"...I did kill one of these kids."
The boy should have been shocked.
"...Why..?" He asked and the rabbit glanced to the ground.
"...I couldn't control.. I-it…" He held out his hand his fingers moving and twitching suddenly and randomly without any pattern behind mentioned movements.
"...I can't revive all of these people… not this time." Hybrid said depressively and the rabbit looked back.
"...I've got one shot in me… that's it… So i had originally came here with the plan to revive you." He finished.
"...m-me?" He confirmed and the semi spirit child nodded.
"...What about fritz?"
"..As a spirit he can't be hurt or yet even killed by that thing… I can keep him safe for now through this."
The rabbit flinched and thought about this.
"...No." He decided and Hybrid was surprised this time.
"...No? Why?"
"...Not that i wouldn't love to be human again… this state i'm in… it has greatly weakened these corrupted urges… I have killed somebody like this already… as a human… it would go full force…
I don't want to do that again…
Never
Again"
The child sighed.
"...You know what your passing up on right? The rabbit state numbs out the corruption along with other things… you can't truly feel the affection your children feel for you… you can love.. And that's a miracle on it's own… one day you might lose all of that to it's numbed senses…"
The rabbit clenched his hands into fists.
"...I know what i'm doing Hybrid… do me a favour… revive the kid i killed… i don't need that on my conscience…"
"...What about the others that fell to that thing?"
He sighed. "..We will deal with him and get them the chance to rest… i need to speak to somebody who tested the game… and luckily…
There is one."
"...Jeremy? You know… your lucky when it comes to him."
"...How so?"
Hybrid glitched for a moment and coughed out blood.
Real.
Blood.
"...In the fact that… despite losing… most, of his frontal lobe… he is still willing to believe you… as a matter of fact.
He was the night guard in Fazbear's Fright."
The rabbits surprise was numbed out by wonder.
"...The guy has risked his life for me a bit too much i think." He decided as he turned back to the door.
"...Thanks for the ability to teleport by the way." He said as he disappeared.
"...Huh… i never gave him the ability to use it… how did he tap into that? Maybe it's some of that we only use 10% of our brain blabber." Hybrid spoke as he went off himself to find a kid and bring them to a hospital.
Oh and revive them.
Error…
Jeremy exists
And by that i mean the man was in Fredbear's… relatively familiar to him office wearing a Shirt with a giant lemon imprinted on it while checking the cameras despite there being no possessed animatronics in the new building.
:3
Cause apparently he likes lemons.
"...I guess Henry knew about my… situation… being allowed to wear casual clothing is pretty nice." He mused to himself as he looked at the many rooms through the not so many cameras.
While also sipping lemon flavoured iced tea.
(Get the theme yet?)
He had seen plushtrap in the back room a few times in between checking all the other rooms.
The way the plush rabbit was he had decided it best to leave it alone.
Especially after zooming in on the picture of Cassidy on the ground with friend written on it?
He had a guess of what had happened to it.
He did not need another bleeding leg or a much more severe wound.
What surprised him is that Springy nor any of the other Aftons were here.
SPringy.
WhAt a cReAtiVE NaME
He could always call him William but…
Felt rude.
He recalled dealing with the rabbit in Fazbear's Fright.
It seemed like he was determined to fix it.
Burning down not once but twice. Just to set those souls free.
It's the only reason he was still working at any place to do with this bloody tragedy.
Cause he believed… that the story behind this place could finally end.
Didn't mean he was not doing a little detective work for his own reasons.
"...Henry and his advanced ai though…" The guard said keeping the tablet like device used for watching these still glitchy cameras as he walked around the building with suspicion.
"...Lolbit said hi to me the other day.. I can't even tell whether that was from being possessed or also advanced ai." He thought aloud as he looked at the entrance.
Something was right outside?
He stumbled to the door his left leg paining him as he pushed the door open and looked around.
No sign of anybody.
Then a flash of green went past him and he rolled his eyes.
"..William.." He said dryly as he turned around to see the rabbit mock bowing.
"...Jeremy." He said with a smirk.
"...What do you want…?"
The rabbit laughed a little for no apparent reason. This is when jeremy realized being in eternal pain in that suit does something to you.
"...Well… i kinda need your help… since i do know that you are the beta tester of Help Wanted…"
"...Why… do you need my help… with… that." He said darkly throwing the rabbit off his guard.
That should have never happened.
