Chapter 4- A Failure

I woke up to just blackness in the air. I wasn't so sure to know what has happen to me. I do know is that I am a failure and I've failed Afton. My only true parent that I hope to be with forever. Here I thought that God was gonna lay down his judgement for me. If I go to hell it's pretty much where I belong. At least I can be in torment for my life. Though instead I am still in just total darkness. I got up and began to walk around. It continued on like this till I heard a voice calling me from a distance. I walked towards it than I began to run for it. I ran so fast that I bumped into someone. I fell and the figure turned around and reached its hand out. I looked up and sure enough it was the puppet. I wasn't so sure to take the offer but I accepted the help.

"Um, thanks."

"You're welcome Whisper."

It was quiet for a moment but I began to ask questions.
"Where am I?"

"You are in the abyss."

"The abyss?"

"Yes, this abyss you entered are filled with the souls that Afton have taken away. If you looked over there those are the five children that fell victim to him."

I looked to where the puppet was pointing and I see five children wearing clothing that are very familiar to me. Especially the one in the golden like outfit. I stopped looking and continue asking the puppet.

"So I was just another victim?"

"Yes but no."

"No?"

"Afton did have intentions on making you his disciple. You passed all his test except for one. You showed a bit of remorse for the child over there. That was a weakness Afton chose to not have."

"But he pushed me!? How does that not count?"

"After he pushed you, it turns out Afton grew too caring for you so instead the weakness went to him. In fact he went all the trouble to getting your body."

"Wait what? I thought I fell into the ocean?"

"No, actually you fell onto some rocks. A sharp one I might say. Went straight through your gut and may have lost an eye."

I felt like I was gonna be sick.

"So Afton never wanted to do that to me."

"Precisely though his time is soon to come."

"What do you mean?"

"You see, you've been asleep for three weeks. Your body is mostly in his garage just there waiting to be awaken. You are lucky to have this type of resurrection."

"What?"

"I looked into you Whisper. You should really thank your mother though. She was a witch after all and well made a nice deal to the devil."

"You mean I am immortal?"

"Well kind of. What I was told she asked whenever you have died, you will be restore back to normal. Though your body organs will return. I can't be so sure about parts just thinking of that eye. Also your age has been altered as well. In reality you should be sixteen."

I let all the information sink into me and finally I accepted it. But I need to know one thing.

"What are you gonna do to Afton?"

"Well obviously get our revenge."

"What!?"

"This children are gonna punish him to the most extreme measures. Especially that golden boy of mines. He's going to be tormenting Afton for all eternity."

"No! You can't!"

"Sure try to stop us but look at yourself."

I did and it turns out my soul seems to be fading away.

"Your soul is starting to return to your body. I hope walking is fine with you. Bye bye, Whisper."

"NNNOOO!"

I jerked my head up and I was beginning to breathe heavily. I looked around my environment and the puppet was right. And it was also right about my eye. Though one eye is enough to help me navigate. I was on a table so I jumped off it and exited the garage into the living room. I went into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My face had bruises and cuts. My left eye was bandaged up and I also lifted my shirt. The scar from my impalement was there but luckily doesn't seem too bad. I then ran out the door and rushed my way to Afton.

*Many minutes later*

I arrived at the pizzeria and tried going through the front door but it was looked. As I was looking around, I also noticed a sign that states that the pizzeria was shutting down. It has been awhile since I've been asleep. With no other choice I threw a rock that I found into the glass door and I went in. I navigated through the building while also calling out for Afton. It was a dark as well and I figure the power was out since what I heard from Afton often the power goes out during the night shifts.

"Afton!"

No answer came. I checked the camera room but no one was there. I found a flashlight though which made it a bit easier to navigate. I called him out again and nothing. Until I heard a distance scream.

"AAAAAHHHHH!"

I ran towards the scream and it lead to the backroom. I opened it and walked towards the scream.

"Somebody! Help! AH!"

I began to panic and ran as fast as I can to him.

"Please! Help!"

"Afton!"

I finally reached him but it was too late. In front of me were the souls of the children and they turn to look at me. They waved at me and their souls were lifted. What was left behind though was a bloody animatronic. I walked towards it and examined it. I wasn't sure what it was or who blood it was. I looked closely at it and I found out it was Afton.

"Yes, Whisper. That is indeed Afton himself."

I turned and it was the puppet. I gave an angry look.

"What did you do to him!?"

"Nothing actually. What he did was his own actions and well look at what he become. Trapped in his own springs. Heh, that's not a bad name. Springtrap is what I'll call him."

"Stop messing with me. Tell me what happened!"

"Like I said Whisper. He done this to himself. My children done nothing but spooked him. My job is done but I still have unfinished business so I am returning to my suit. Till we meet again."

The puppet left and I looked back at Afton. I went down to my knees and began to cry.

"I'm sorry Afton. I wish I came here sooner to save you. I am a failure and I should have done what you wanted. I'm sorry."

My tears were falling down to the floor but all of a sudden something patted my head. I looked up and it was the animatronic. No, in fact it was Afton. He then began to speak.

"My dear Whisper…it wasn't your fault. I…thought that I can save myself only…to be hit with karma. The final lesson you must know…is to remember your actions have consequences. Please when you return to my home. Look into my closet and find the key. Open the safe and another secret is to be revealed."

"Okay *sniff* I will Afton."

"Call me Springtrap. This is what I am now."

I nodded.

"Now go and make sure no one is to know of me."

I got up and left and I heard his faint silent voice.

"I…love you."

I left and shut the door behind me. I was getting ready to leave till I heard someone inside the building.

"Hello! Is there someone here! This is the police and I want you to come out peacefully."

I looked around for something to use and sure enough I did. I exited the room with my head down. The officer noticed me and said," Hey little girl. Is everything alright?"

I said nothing.

"Did a parent leave you behind? If you want I can take you back to the station?"

I begin to walk towards him. He noticed I was hiding something.

"What's that you got behind your back?"

I gave a creepy smile and longue at him. He fell and I was quick enough to stab him in his heart. I continued on stabbing him and feeling the penetration, blood, and the lifelessness really feels good. After I was done, I went home and did what Afton told me to do. I found the key and next the safe. I opened it and inside were blueprints and pictures plus a note. I read it.

"Though this test did not work, I have to try something. Losing my son Michael really tore me and Reneta apart. So with this invention that I and Henry were working on. I am sure it will bring him back. He may have some machinery inside him but it will be worth it. Besides maybe I'll send him to the sister location and have him activate plan b."

The note had some curiosity in it but I kept the note and examine the blueprint. It looked a bit weird and the name of the blueprint was called BABY. I continued going through his stuff till I heard someone walk through the door.

"Hello? Afton are you home? I am back."

It was Reneta and I was surprise to see that she has return. I walked out and she noticed me.

"Oh you're still around. I would have thought that-"

"It's alright. He's gone now though."

"Gone?"

"What you told him before came true. He got what was coming to him."

"What?"

Reneta fell to her knees and tears were forming in her eyes. Though she noticed the way I looked and saw my missing eye.

"Did he do something to you?"

"Yes but no. This was something that was my mistake that I can bear with it. I was only doing what Afton told me after his demise."

She noticed what I was holding and swiped it away from my hand.

"Where did you get these?"

"He told me about it and so I looked into it. I was curious on what this was all supposed to mean but it's confusing for me."

"Oh well I'll hold on to it and take care of it. But first do you want to come with me? I am going to head back home. You'll meet your aunt."

I was surprised and accepted her offer. We got everything packed and before we left Reneta told me to wait in the car.

"I left something in the house. I'll be right back."

'Okay.'

She left and soon came back pretty quickly. We drove off and as we were driving I asked her something.

"Reneta or mom, who is Michael?"

"He was the first?"

"The first what?"

"The first to look like his father."

It was confusing at first but I moved on. We arrived and meeting my new aunt was pretty nice. I got a well rest sleep and the next morning my aunt and mother were cooking breakfast. I turn the T.V. on to see what was happening on the news. It talked about the murder that I've committed and the full shutdown of the restaurant. They found the knife that I left but couldn't trace the fingerprints back to me. They are treating it as a robbery attempt. I was about to turn the T.V. off till it mention something I recognized. A fire broke out in the neighborhood and it was the house we were staying at. That's when it hit me that mother destroyed the stuff she has taken from me. It was for the best but I at least have something to keep for myself.
