Rejected

Prompt: Funtime Freddy needed your help but you refused.

"H-Hey there, B-B-Buddy!"

This couldn't be happening. Blue eyes stared in horror as he backed up through the vent, trying to get away from the hideous mask in front of him. Soon he dropped out of the vent and backed away until his back thumped against the checkerboard colored wall of the pizzeria. He was nearly shivering as he watched it drag itself to the mouth of a vent.

An old, rusty mask that looked like a broken Freddy face was pointed at him. It had one eye, which looked more like an orange stage light, and wires pouring out of the other hole of the mask. Sharp teeth looked to be caked in something that almost looked like blood.

But he knew where those scrap pieces came from. They were the leftover parts from the old animatronics down in Afton Robotics, tangled into a wired, legless mess. The voice- that unholy voice- showed exactly who was in control of the body.

"Well, hello ag-gaain! Ha ha ha! I missed- I missed you so much!~" Freddy- no, Wrecked- Destroyed- Molten Freddy said. "I've been looking a-l-l over for yo-ou!"

Molten Freddy dragged itself out the rest of the vent and dropped heavily to the floor. It recovered within seconds and lifted its flimsy, wire body up. It had so few wires that it was barely able to raise itself upright on a midsection made of little more than a few woven together.

The onlooker was positively dumbfounded and horrified. No, he wasn't supposed to be here. Not like this and not in this form. He had gotten rid of him long ago. What unholy thing would've deemed it appropriate to bring him back?

"Betcha thought yo-o-ou got rid of meee! Ha ha hahah-hhaah-a! But nope- here I am!" Molten Freddy then lowered his voice to an unsettling, almost dangerous tone as he quietly added, "I forgive you."

He started to move closer and the other slide along the wall, looking ready to run. This only made Molten Freddy laugh more.

"Aww, where ya gonna go? I'm j-just gonna f-follow you an-n-nywhere! Ha ha! But I'm here- No- I'm here for a reason. I saw you, I see you, you need me. You need me to help you, to lead you, you n-need me m-more than you need anything else!" Molten Freddy tried to convince. Then he said something that sent chills down the listener's body. "L-Let's become one again!"

The watcher violently shook his head in disagreement, steadfastly refusing to even consider the prospect of even getting closer to the creature.

"No? Ha ha, whaddya mean?! Look at you! You st-still need me! You need, need me sooo much! Don'tcha remember when we were together? S-So warm and alive, and full, and it was all so good!..." Molten Freddy's delight began to fade as anger replaced it. "And then... You got rid of me..." He began to crackle loudly. "But guess what? I didn't go that far! HA HA HA!"

The listener tried to move away when Molten Freddy lashed out. Wire fingers dug in as it lifted itself up, climbing his chest, its single eye now glowing red as its mask got closer and closer. It smelled like bad copper and rotten meat, leftover from whatever was its last victim. Or perhaps of whatever dumpster it last hid inside of.

"D-Don't you want to be complete? Whole? W-Warm- I know ya like to be warm, don't cha? You're n-never gonna be warm again without me." Its fingers tightened and he winced at the pain in his chest. "I know there's a big, empty hole in there where I belong... Let me fill it. I promise I'll share this time.~" Its fingers dug in deeper as it rattled out a low, "HELP. ME."

Molten Freddy started to raise higher when the watcher finally realized the creature was going to try to forcibly overtake him. With terror and a regained sense of self-preservation, he used his strength and shoved Molten Freddy back. The creature was no match and collapsed back on the ground, little more than a mound of wires.

Then, without a word, he turned and sprinted down the hall as fast as he possibly could. He didn't look back, he just rushed on, trying to escape.

"Y-You can run, but y-you can't hide!" Molten Freddy called after him. It already turned over and began to crawl after him. "One of the-these d-days we're gonna be together again! You'l-l-l see!" He laughed so loudly that it echoed off the walls. "S-See ya later, Clown!"

He didn't know what to do now except get out of the pizzeria- or whatever this building was- and get away. He would have to hide somewhere and never come back, never lower his guard, never stop looking over his shoulder...

Ennard never imagined wires could feel so cold.

But then again, he also never imagined that Funtime Freddy would come back like that.
