Hey everyone,sorry I'm late It's a jungle out there I had to beat an old lady with a stick to get this chapter out.
But in all seriousness words cannot describe how sorry I am that this chapter came out so late,I took a little break from writing for a bit and when I came back the app decided to bug out on me so I couldn't edit the document
But that's all good now so I hope you enjoy this chapter,it may not be what you expect but just know that I tried my best.
Numb...
Lynn was numb,she was still alive thankfully but she felt nothing,that creature had taken her body over and now she was a prisoner in her own mind,she had to watch whilst this thing spoke through her mouth with her voice and move around while people around remained oblivious that it wasn't her doing these actions.
For the first time in ages Lynn actually felt afraid,she didn't like to show fear.This thing had plans for her and the family,she could still see and hear everything and those was the only the only senses that hadn't been cut off from her use,she could see what the creature was doing shaping her body to its liking and doing all this research for the demise of her family.
It was looking into some place called 'Freddie's pizza' or something like that she couldn't really remember but it was searching it on the family computer when no one was looking,whatever this place was it wanted to go there and prepare for something,it was like the thing had some sort of history with the place.
She hasn't had any communication with it so she hasn't the faintest idea what the plan is,but it involved a home made wheel of fortune thing with pictures of her family in each of the prize slots,another thing that wasn't completely cut off was her emotions,she could still feel sadness or anger but an overwhelming dread filled her shared being,or maybe 'stolen' would be more appropriate.
From her eyes that had now become mere windows she could see her hands moving without her control,spinning the home made device and who the arrow landed on only added to her growing mixture of fear and confusion.
The next day
Saturday has now fallen upon the house of loud.
Everyone is now taking the time to just relax and do their own thing after a long week at school,things had been okay between Lincoln and his sisters though he wasn't too sure about Lynn but it looked like the twins were on board again so that was good,everything was perfect again the sisters tried to make it up to him by doing some sibling bonding and Lynn was strangely the most eager to do so.
After breakfast all of the siblings sat down in the living room, they wanted to talk with Lincoln and ask him a question that was on all of their minds,Lori was the first to do so.
"So Lincoln,what you said two months ago,was it true?" Lori asked for all of them,Lincoln instantly knew that she was referring to the very first time he'd been locked out the house.
"Me wanting some time by myself?yes that was true" confirmed their brother.
All the sisters nodded in understanding.
"Well hot dang,you could've just told us that you needed a break" Luna spoke up with slight amusement in her voice.
"Yeah it's not like we'd literally murder you for declining" Lori added on with a chuckle.
"Well I was afraid of how you would react,maybe something along the lines of threatening me with a baseball bat" he said,lowering his voice towards the end.
Luna perked up with confusion at that comment,Luan spoke up next.
"That sounds oddly specific" she said with a tilt of her head.
Lincoln let out a nervous laugh,glancing to Lynn who was sitting on the floor behind the coffee table.
"Yep very specific" he repeated.
Lynn's sporty and aggressive attitude seemed to have gone,but Lincoln was still careful with his words.
Luan noticed the glance and turned towards her little sister.
"Lynn?" She said expectingly.
The girl shrugged and told the truth.
"Okay I admit it,I threatened him with my bat" that earned a flat look from Luna.
"Really dude" she scolded.
"But hey that was the old me and I'm very sorry for it" she said raising her hands in defence.
Luna shook her head in annoyance before turning back to her brother.
"Listen little bro,If you ever feel that way again just tell us okay" she reminded him with a warm sisterly smile,this earned a similar smile from Lincoln.
The twins decided now was the best time to say what they needed to say,they both stood together and approached the coach he was seated on.
"Lincoln..." they started in unison,drawing the young boys attention to them.
"We're sorry...for everything" Lana said in a low,ashamed voice
"I suppose it was rather silly" Lola spoke up next,her voice matching her sisters "to believe such a thing"
Smiling,Lincoln gave them both loving pats on the head."It's okay girls,you're forgiven" he said much to their relief,and as a bonus he brought them both in for a hug with Lola wrapped in his left arm and Lana in his right,bringing delight to the twins and warming the hearts of the surrounding sisters.
Once that was over,chatter filled the room as they casually conversed with each other for a few hours,then they eventually parted to start the day properly,Lincoln felt like stripping to his undies reading a comic,that would be a good way to start off.
With that in mind he made his way towards his room,opened the door,walked in and closed it behind him then proceeded to strip down,he grabbed a comic on his all time favourite superhero ace savvy and began his reading without a care in the world.
Meanwhile whilst everyone went off to do whatever they do in their spare time,the goth of the family,Lucy had something else in mind.She felt something bad,something awful,something with a hunger,she felt it ever since Lynn's brief disappearance,a sense of dread had filled from that very moment and she's been looking into why,and the first step to doing that was confronting Lynn about it.
Lynn was sitting in the back yard with back against the tree hands tucked behind her head as she muttered a song to herself.
"Why do you hide inside these walls?..."
"When there is music in my halls..."
"All I see is an empty room..."
"No more joy,an empty tomb..."
...
As good and intriguing the song was,Lucy had to interrupt it for a second.
"Interesting song" was how Lucy decided to greet the girl turned puppet.
Lynntrap didn't even turn her head to meet the girls curtained eyes when she gave a response.
"Hello Wednesday" she greeted the goth.
Lucy just gave a confused tilt of her head "umm" was all she could say.
"Addams family" Lynntrap hinted.
"I-I'm afraid I don't know what that is" the goth poet responded.
This caused Lynntrap to sit up and finally make eye contact "hang on,your telling me out of all the dark movies and horror movies you've seen,which quite frankly shouldn't be allowed for an eight year old but hey the parents allow it anyway,you haven't seen the Addams family?" It was was an all time favourite of Glitchtrap when he was more alive to see it.
"No" was the simple response.
Then Lynntrap let out a laugh,hands drawn to her stomach,that's one thing Lucy noticed every time...that laugh...that laugh didn't belong to Lynn,and she noticed how she said the parents and not our parents,Lucy continued to watch as mixed feelings raged war behind those hidden eyes of hers.
Lynntrap eventually calmed down.
"Oh boy...I guess I overestimated you" she said between a few lingering chuckles.
"Forget about that,we need to talk" Lucy said with an edge to her voice.
Lynntrap completely stopped the laughter and turned towards the girl.
"Sure,what is it?" Lynntrap asked,not expecting the upcoming questions that if not tread lightly could be seriously dangerous for her in the future,Lucy took a breath and spoke.
"What are you up to Lynn?" Came the first question,Lynntrap smiled a little giving her a look.
"What are you talking about?" questioned lynntrap.
"You know,the change in personality,being extremely nice to Lincoln...it feels like you're doing this for something,some kind of goal maybe?" Lucy quizzed.
This caused the smile to drop from Lynntraps face into a neutral look."Very perceptive" she commented "so what if I am?"
"I can't help but feel like your true motive is...endangering to say the least" Lucy pressed on,the look on Lynntraps face becoming slightly darker.
"Now why would you think that?" This girl must of been watching her movements for quite a while.
"It's not really like you to behave in such a way" Lucy remarked.
"Well like I said,I'm a changed woman" dismissed Lynntrap,with the matching hand movement to go with it.
"Yeah you've certainly changed,very drastically" Lynntrap gave a small frown to the girl in front,she was asking too many questions,making too many observations,a retreat was in order.
"Okay,it's been nice talking to you but imma head off now" she said before trying to speed walk away to the back door.
"You're planning something Lynn!that is if you even are Lynn" Lucy accused the retreating girl.
This caused Lynntrap to stop in her tracks,now she was agitated.
"Of course I'm Lynn,where would you get such a silly idea?" She asked trying to restrain a growl.
Lucy ignored that question and responded with "whatever you're planning,stop while you're ahead" she warned.
Lynntrap turned and fired back with her own warning "if I were you,I'd be careful sticking my nose in things I don't understand"
"There are a lot of things I don't understand,which gives me all the more reason to understand " Lucy gave another one of her rare smiles,Lynntrap turned and continued to the back door,opening it and disappearing into the house.
That girl was clever,she had gathered something very wrong going on unlike the others,something tells Lynntrap that she may become a thorn in the side of continues on like this.
"That sister of yours needs to learn where not to stick her nose in" she whispered,mainly to the one that's trapped...the real Lynn.
"But don't fret" she told her prisoner "after I've started my reign of terror again,I'm sure she'll be a good girl and stand down" Lynntrap made it to the top of the stairs,glanced briefly to her left and continued into her room.
Opening a draw she took out a laptop,walked over to her bed and sat down,placing the laptop in her lap she booted up the laptop and after a few click clacks of the keyboard she was in.
She opened Google and and typed in these exact words 'Freddy fazbears pizza' when the first results came up she clicked on the very top link,just the one she needed,after a quick read of the first passage with her eyes glittering with joy and nostalgia,she found the answer she was looking for.A couple pictures accompanying the small passage she read,one of the restaurant,where a name was made for itself indeed,but not in a good way.The picture showed the front entrance,the place was very run down,cracked windows,bits of debris everywhere and the sign that once rested comfortably atop of the front door was now dangling to the left,the sign used to have the mascots and the name 'Freddy fazbears pizza' painted on,but the letters seemed to have faded out with time,the few letters visible were 'fre','a' and 'za'.
Now as for the mascots,let's take a look at the real thing.
All of these were animatronics invented to entertain kids and grown ups alike,they are made with very old technology so there not as flashy as they probably would be today,these robots consisted of a brown bear adorned in a bow tie and small top hat,a yellow chicken that only had a white bib with a colourful 'let's party' written on it,a blue bunny that also has a bow tie coloured red and last but not least a red pirate fox wearing brown tattered shorts,he has his signature eye patch and finished off with his trusty hook.
It showed a before and after picture of the animatronics,on the left side was the main four in top notch condition,back when they were practically brand new and the right showed how they are now.
Broken...rusty...beaten...useless.
"Look at it,my dear" spoke Glitchtrap to Lynn "it's so good to see them after so long...I wonder if they've made peace yet"
Lynn from within her own mind was confused as to who this thing was talking about,made peace?who made peace?
"You're probably wondering what the heel this is and and why I keep coming back to it,right?" He didn't need a nod to know her answer.
"Well I hope you like stories" he said as he closed the laptop and put it to the side,clearing his throat he began telling his tale.
"As you may or may not have gathered,I wasn't always like this" he started "I was human once,skin,organs and whatnot,I didn't have the best childhood but I pulled through" he kicked his feet up from over the side of the bed lay down,getting comfortable.
"I have to hand to you,you got it better than I did,great parents,great siblings,great house" he commented before letting out a sad and bitter sigh "I hated my father,and my mother died giving birth to me,which my father hated me for,and I'm an only child,so yeah not too great,right?" He finished his first sentence,giving Lynn some time to digest before continuing.
"But that's the boring part,the fun part is my adulthood...you see when I was about 20 years old I started getting into robotics and I ran experiments with those projects,and as I worked more and more I couldn't help but feel like something was missing,all my creations needed something more well..let's say spicy added to them" Lynn within her own mind already didn't like where this was going.
"And I found said spice after months and months of research and theorising" he gave a dramatic pause "can you guess what it is?" he asked smiling through Lynn's face.
"At a loss?...okay I'll tell you" Lynn had a feeling she really didn't want to know the answer.
"That spice..that missing ingredient..was humans..their soul to be more specific" he finished,if Lynn had more control over her eyes,they would be wide with shock and confusion,human souls?how on earth did he accomplish that?
"Ah don't tell me,I already know what you're thinking,how did I manage to do that" he let out a chuckle,sitting up for why he was about to say "I had help from a little friend of mine known as remnant"
"Remnant" Lynn repeated to herself,wondering what the hell that was or what it even meant.
"It's a special metal I created,it has the ability to bind a human soul to itself,I built into my animatronics and we had some very...willing volunteers to test it out for me" ...they really weren't.
"So with the help of the generous donation of your body,I'm going to uncover my work and continue this wonderful journey" he exclaimed with a throw of the hands in the air.
Jumping off the bed,the disguised entity hopped over to the draws,opened it and pulled out the same wheel of fortune gizmo,it was still coloured cardboard with the family's individual pictures glued into the prize slots,but there was one change.
Around one of the pictures was a red circle,drawn with marker,the smile widened ever so slightly he gazed upon it.
Lincoln loud...
The only other boy in the family will be first to go,and when he's ready he'll spin it again to see who is next.
"How very lucky he is that he'll be the first to go...but the question is,how are we going to do it?" using his borrowed hand he put it to his hosts chin,rubbing it,thinking it over.
"Now stabbing can be a bit dull at times,it's my first time back in a long time so I need my first kill to go off with a bang" he paused when he felt his hosts heartbeat increase,she was getting scared,Glitchtrap mainly had control over movement and talking,his host has only the organs and bodily functions.this earned a roll of the eyes from Glitchtrap but he chose not to comment on it.
Ignoring her he went back to thinking,muttering to himself trying so hard to think up a plan for the loud boy.
Then finally something came to him,eyes going wide at the thought.
"Oh I got a groovy idea" he quickly put the wheel away and rushed over to the laptop again opening it,and their sight welcomed the previous tab.
"It may take some time to plan but I think it's doable" he gazed at the picture of the old restaurant "well my dear,you want to get your dear old brother new suit?"
The only response he needed was Lynn's heart rate increasing even more.
"That's the spirit let's get him a new suit" he exclaimed with hearty laugh.
Kill...this thing is going to kill Lincoln,and Lynn could see it all in this monster's twisted mind,it's killed before but they weren't just people as he put it...they were children with ages ranging from about five years old to Lincoln's age,Lynn couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sadness for the victims.
"Now all we need is a distraction" whilst Glitchtrap fell into another frenzy of plotting Lynn just thought long and hard about herself,she had been a bit of a bully to everyone ever since she got into sports,putting reputation above friends and family on numerous occasions.
She teased everyone and was very toxic towards some people,sometimes her siblings annoyed her but not once did she ever wish any sort of harm on them...until Lincoln that is.
Looking back now she remembered the first time she saw Lincoln as a baby,at that time it was only her,Lori,Leni,Luan and Luna,and they all adored him,they were all happy to finally get a brother for once.But as everyone found their hobbies and interests some of them didn't have time for him anymore,they were still cool with each other obviously but they rarely spend any time with him,with the only exceptions being a few family road trips.
She definitely doesn't deserve the 'best sister/daughter of the year' reward,but finding out that this thing that's controlling her wishes harm upon her family,that obviously did not sit well with Lynn.
She needed to do something,anything to at least stall this creature in its vile activities.
Chapter 5 finally out,once again I'm truly sorry for making you wait this long.
