Greeting: Hello, Rachel and friends. Also: What's up, everybody?
It's time to make another chapter and find out who the mysterious woman is. Enjoy, guys!
( The main hall of Rachel and Doug's)
The woman, at the front door, looked like she had gone through Hell to get there.
The animatronics were staring at her with fear in their eyes. Rachel's every instinct told her not to let the woman in.
But Rachel and her friends couldn't leave the woman outside either.
Rachel glanced at Nick hoping he would do something.
" Good evening, madam", greeted Nick.
The woman looked around at all the confused people. She saw the staff members, carrying Jason's corpse, and the sobbing children, beside Rachel.
As soon as her gaze fixed on Rachel, the bunny went in front of the kids and protected them.
The woman's gaze was full of death and Rachel disliked the way she was acting. Luckily, the woman did not care about Rachel or the kids.
She was alerted and trying to find something. The woman looked relieved when she didn't find it.
" May I come in?", the woman asked Nick with a begging look in her eyes.
As an educated gentleman, Nick couldn't deny the woman shelter.
" Of course. Come in", answered Nick, nodding.
The woman was actually already inside but after Nick's nod, she closed the door behind her.
The woman did not seem to mind the corpse or the shocked expressions on everyone's faces.
Anyone else would have asked what had happened but the woman didn't. She seemed to have more important things to worry about.
The woman went straight to Nick.
She coughed and muttered some words.
" I beg your pardon", Nick couldn't hear the words.
" Is it safe? In here I mean", asked the woman.
She was looking around nervously. Nick didn't know what to answer. It was a weird question.
" Of course it is safe. We...we discovered a corpse and it freaked us all out. Nevertheless, I can assure you it's safe. This is not normal", assured Nick.
The woman looked at the corpse and all the animatronics.
" The corpse freaked you out? Nothing else", the woman was weirded out for some reason.
Nick couldn't really do anything else than answer the question.
" The corpse freaked us out, that's why everyone's scared. We aren't afraid of you, madam.
This got us alerted and you suddenly showing up was unusual. I hope you understand our situation", answered Nick.
The woman nodded to him.
" Better than anyone. Thank god. This place is safe", she muttered.
Everybody had calmed down at that point. Nick gave the woman a towel while his staff cleaned up the blood.
Some children stayed with Rachel who sat down to catch her breath. The situation was getting calmer every minute and Nick hoped it was over.
He was optimistic.
Nick was sure that everything would be explained. He certainly hoped that the woman had nothing to do with Jason's corpse.
Jason had been working on the vents and gotten caught in a fan. Jason did work too when he wasn't on a lazy mood.
Everybody else was thinking about murder but not Nick.
He thought about that while helping the woman.
" What's your name, madam?", asked Nick.
The woman was thinking about something too.
" It's Lynn", she answered.
" Welcome to Rachel's, Lynn. I'm Nicholas but everyone calls me Nick. I own this place", Nick welcomed her.
" I know. My husband used to work here. He loved this place", replied Lynn.
" But then he got sick and...and..", said Lynn.
She grunted and closed her eyes.
" Are you okay?", Nick got worried.
Lynn opened her eyes and glanced at him.
" I'm fine", she answered.
Nick got a bit scared. He swore he had seen red in Lynn's eyes right after she had opened them.
" It's just her eyes reflecting the stage lights. Nothing is wrong. She probably got lost in the rain or her car broke down and then she found this place", thought Nick.
" Walking in the rain with that clothing is very dangerous. You might get very sick. But let's hope for the best", smiled Nick.
" Let's hope for the best", Lynn replied to him and nodded.
The children stayed in the main room with the animatronics. Doug promised them that they would be fine.
" We'll get through this. I'm sure of that", Doug told one child.
Meanwhile, one staff member examined Jason's corpse. He was there to verify Nick's presumption.
Nick was waiting for the answer.
" He was killed by a fan clearly", Nick thought the man would say.
" Hey, boss", the man called for Nick.
He went to the man with a smile on his face.
" There it goes. Now everybody will realize that this is nothing serious. It was just an accident", thought Nick.
The man didn't look very happy.
" Nick...I don't know how to say this but...", the man stuttered.
" Yes?", Nick was waiting for an answer.
The man let out a deep sigh.
" Jason was not killed in an accident. These wounds on his chest are signs of him fighting back. Someone was clawing him and ripped his arms off.
Some sadistic bastard", the man shook his head.
The parents and other staff were around and heard it. Nick's eyes widened in fear.
" You mean he was murdered. Is there a killer in my pizzeria?", Nick asked him.
" Some pretty strong killer. Jason never stood a chance by the looks of it", nodded the man.
" There's a killer on the loose!", exclaimed one woman.
Her husband calmed her down.
" What?", asked Rachel.
The animatronics and the kids had heard the woman's shout.
" Will we die?", panicked one older kid.
The panic spread fast and the situation got out of control.
" Stop!", shouted Nick.
" We mustn't panic. Remaining calm is important", he told everyone.
" But what if he is still here? What if he comes for us?", asked the panicking woman.
Nick looked at her calmingly. Lynn was on her feet instantly.
" A monster killed that guy. They are here after all. This place is far from safe", she thought.
Nick was calming everybody down.
" Rachel, Doug, Pete, Bane and Ray. Take the children to the backstage and lock the doors. We adults will take care of this", Nick ordered.
" But it's so dark once the doors are closed. Kids will get scared", complained Ray.
The backstage was full of empty heads and animatronic parts, the kids would freak out more than ever.
Unfortunately, Nick was not giving in.
The sacrifice had to be made. He looked at them with a serious expression on his face.
" Scared is better than in danger", replied Nick.
" No!", exclaimed Lynn, walking to him.
The animatronics saw that Nick had everything under control so they started to round up the kids.
" They can't be in here. We must protect them", Nick told Lynn.
Her eyes were serious and she was frightened.
" Protect! Locking them into a dark place is not how to protect them", snapped Lynn.
" Well, it's the only way. We can't do anything else for now", Nick said calmly.
The animatronics were taking the children away.
" Stop! Do not take a step! You are not going anywhere", Lynn pointed at them.
Nick went between her and the animatronics. He was getting angry at Lynn.
A murderer was not to be messed with. Nick could see that Lynn was scared.
When scared, people could do weird things.
The animatronics had stopped and Nick understood he needed to calm things down.
Lynn was panicking but also serious.
Nick swore he saw a red tint in Lynn's eyes. It was creepy but Nick was able to remain calm.
" Do not tell my animatronics what to do. I'm in charge here and I say we protect the kids my way", said Nick.
Lynn grinned at him.
" You are condemning us to death. Darkness attracts them. We are literally handing the kids to them", Lynn shook her head.
Nick shook his head as well.
" Who's they? Could you at least tell me what you are talking about?", asked Nick.
Lynn looked like she was fighting something.
" I don't know, okay!", she was shaking.
" I have no idea who they are", she told Nick.
He shook his head again and held his forehead in frustration.
" Guys. Restrain her, please. She is out of control", Nick told the staff.
The staff members walked towards Lynn.
Then suddenly Lynn did the one thing Nick hadn't expected.
" Stay back", Lynn pulled out a gun.
Nick got alerted and the animatronics put their hands up. The parents shrieked. The children covered their eyes.
" Stay calm, kiddies. She won't hurt you", assured Rachel.
She was really scared for the kids. Rachel hoped she was right.
Lynn wasn't there to kill the kids. She was not the murderer, right?
" Lynn. Put the gun down. It's okay. We won't hurt you, we see you are upset", Nick told her, putting his hand forward.
Lynn shot the ceiling, the gun was loaded and dangerous.
" Shut up! Now, get back here, animatronics", Lynn looked at them.
The animatronics were almost out of the room but they came back.
" See? They don't want to harm you, Lynn. Neither do the rest of us.
Please, for the love of God, put that gun down before you hurt someone", said Nick, really frightened.
" Do not leave! As long as you stay here, nobody gets hurt. They are coming and I will live.
I refuse to die due to some fools, not noticing what's going on", said Lynn.
One staff member was sneaking up on her. He was muscular and could take the gun from her hand.
Nick just had to keep her eyes fixed on something else.
" Okay. Just tell me who they are. We will do exactly what you say. But we need to know who you are talking about", promised Nick.
Lynn's eyes were definitely red. She was frightened and needed to calm down.
" Please, Lynn. You'll kill us. Just put the gun down and we can talk about this", assured Nick.
Lynn chuckled and pointed the gun at him.
" Like I would ever trust you. You just want to get the gun so you could restrain me. I will not be restrained, I will live", Lynn chuckled at Nick.
She put her hand down and her gun was facing the ground. The man realized that his time had come.
He launched at Lynn before she could understand what was happening.
The man grabbed Lynn's arm and her eyes went completely red.
" No!", she shouted as she kicked the man and threw him at a table.
Nick was surprised by Lynn's strength and got really scared. She got the gun back but was no longer willing to use it.
Lynn's eyes fixed on the animatronics and she smiled at them.
Suddenly, she charged at Nick.
Lynn was like a cheetah, fast as hell. Rachel shrieked as Lynn got on top of Nick.
" Thank you, foolish humans", Lynn told him in a completely different voice.
She clawed Nick's face with her nails.
" No!", Rachel exclaimed in fear.
She couldn't let Lynn kill Nick.
" Rachel!", shouted Ray as she charged at Lynn.
" Stay away from him!", shouted Rachel.
Lynn saw her and punched her. The rabbit fell down like a train.
Rachel's chips took a hit and her head was fuzzy. Lynn got off Nick and went for Rachel.
" Like I expected. Untrained, stupid, frail. Oh. Hard to imagine that you were brave warriors once", giggled Lynn.
Rachel tried to get up but Lynn picked her up.
" Too bad you aren't a warrior. You could use some skills right now", Lynn threw her at a wall.
Rachel's head was fuzzy. Rachel had to do something.
" The gun", she thought.
Rachel wasn't sure if she could kill Lynn but that would come later. Lynn was about to kick her but Rachel turned around very quickly.
Rachel went for the gun and ripped it out of Lynn's hand. Rachel kicked Lynn's leg to make her lose her grip.
It worked, the gun was Rachel's.
She pointed it at the woman and got ready to pull the trigger. Lynn smiled at her.
" Would you kill me? You are no warrior but it would be easy for you, wouldn't it?", asked Lynn.
Rachel disliked her tone.
" What? What are you talking about?", she asked.
" The night guard, Rachel. I know your secrets. I know that you're a murderer. So do it again, you have done it once", answered Lynn.
Her red eyes were staring into Rachel's soul. Rachel gulped and her hand refused to move.
She dropped the gun in fear as her secret was revealed.
" You know about him? How?", asked Rachel.
Lynn picked up the gun.
" Me and my friends are really good at knowing dark secrets", she pointed the gun at her.
Suddenly, the muscular man showed up behind Lynn and stabbed her with something. It was a sedative.
Lynn stopped and punched the man.
He fell to the floor but the game was over for Lynn.
She noticed the syringe, took it out and fell to the floor. Rachel got up, looked at her and went to her.
Rachel checked if the sedative had any effect on Lynn.
Lynn's eyes stopped being red and she gasped. Her gaze fixed on Rachel and she looked deep into her eyes.
Rachel did not like what was happening.
Lynn's gaze was menacing. She picked up the gun and raised her hand.
" You will all die", she told Rachel. Lynn's expression was serious.
" They will kill you and eat your souls. But not mine, not my soul", she told Rachel.
Then Lynn pointed the gun at her own head and pulled the trigger.
Rachel heard a loud bang and Lynn's corpse fell to the ground.
Blood burst out of the wounds and made a puddle on the floor.
Rachel stumbled back and began to cry, covering her mouth.
" She killed herself. Oh god! No", thought Rachel.
She closed her eyes and hoped Lynn's corpse would go away. Rachel wished she was dreaming.
" This can't be happening. This must be a malfunction in my system", Rachel repeated to herself.
Lynn's death had been horrible but the other thing was more horrible than that.
" She knew my secret. How? I have never told anyone about it. My friends would definitely not tell anyone. It was meant to be our secret", thought Rachel.
She was whimpering in shock and couldn't move.
" Rachel. Come with me. Follow me, sweetheart", Doug's voice told her.
Rachel had barely heard it. She had covered her ears and tried to forget everything.
Despite that, Doug's gentle voice had managed to get through.
Rachel didn't want to go anywhere. Doug's hand petted her ears.
After it didn't work, Doug knelt down and embraced Rachel.
" Come, Rachel. Let's go somewhere where you can calm down", he told Rachel.
She opened her eyes and looked at Doug. Her teary eyes looked clear and depressed.
Rachel was suffering and Doug saw that. There was a lot of noise in the room, which was bad for Rachel, she had to calm down.
" Get up, girl. The kids will be fine. I'll take you to the basement where it's calm", Doug looked at her with a calming expression on his face.
Rachel was barely able to nod to him.
" Okay", nodded Rachel.
People had gathered around Lynn so Rachel could not see her anymore. She was glad about it, corpses were scary.
Doug helped Rachel get up and walk. She was weak and shaking.
Ray, Pete and Bane were with the kids and tried to calm them down.
" They'll be fine, honey. Let's just go", Doug patted Rachel on the head.
Doug started escorting Rachel to the basement and was talking to her the whole time. Doug promised her that everything would be alright.
" She knew about the night guard. How is that possible? We put it behind us", Rachel told Doug.
The dog thought for a moment.
" We can think about that later. Right now, you need to calm down. Panicking won't help", said Doug.
" But why, Doug? Why did she have to bring it up? It was years ago. We haven't done anything bad since.
We have played with kids, made them laugh. We have done nothing but good things", sobbed Rachel.
" You're right. It's in the past. One bad thing can't determine us. It was an accident, Rachel", Doug looked into her eyes seriously.
" I can't say it was an accident. We killed someone. He was someone's dad. He was someone's husband", Rachel shook her head.
Doug let out a sigh.
" Well, we can't change our past", he said, looking down.
They kept on walking and had almost reached the basement.
" Almost there", Doug said when they reached the door.
Rachel stopped in front of the basement door.
" Doug. I don't think I need to go. I've..ve calmed down already", Rachel told him.
Doug looked at her. He seemed to doubt Rachel's word.
" Are you sure? You're still shaking. I can see it. I don't think you have calmed down at all", said Doug.
" Well, I have, okay. Let's go back to the kids. Poor things must be shocked by all of this", Rachel glanced towards the main room.
" Hey. Why don't you just go down there? It's silent and calm in there. You need it", Doug tried to convince her.
Rachel didn't want to leave the kids but she had to.
" Okay, Doug. Just make sure the children are fine", Rachel told him.
" I will", smiled Doug.
Rachel was about to open the door.
" Going somewhere", asked a voice behind them.
Both animatronics turned around and saw a boy. He was about seventeen years old and he was wearing a shirt with Rachel on it.
" Hi. Sorry, we didn't see you", said Doug.
" I just followed you as you seemed very shocked. Are you okay, Rachel?", asked the boy, looking worried.
" I'm fine. I have never seen anyone die before. I never expected anyone to die here", answered Rachel.
" I'll take her to the basement to calm down", said Doug.
" You should go to the main room. It's not safe in here", he added.
The boy chuckled.
" Because the killer is still on the loose? Too bad Jason can't tell us who it is", said the boy.
" Yea. Jason. Wait! You know him?", asked Doug.
If the boy had been Jason's friend, Doug would have been sad for him. The boy laughed.
" No. His name is on his tattoo", answered the boy.
" What tattoo?", asked Rachel confusedly.
Doug got scared, something was wrong.
The boy showed them his other hand which he had been holding behind his back.
" This tattoo. It's a beautiful one", the boy showed them one of Jason's missing arms.
The fingers were gone and the hand had been chewed on. Rachel and Doug shrieked.
" What?", Rachel asked in shock.
The boy took a bite out of the hand.
" It's delicious, you should try. The children will be for my friends. But before that...you", the boy threw the hand away.
He went to all four and then suddenly his head turned upside down. The animatronics screamed and embraced each other.
" What is he?", Doug asked Rachel.
" I'm the death of you and your beloved kids", answered the boy and charged.
Rachel and Doug thought they would die. They had never seen anything so hideous and so disgusting.
The boy was almost on top of them when they heard a bang. Rachel opened her eyes and saw that the boy had stopped.
It was due to a hole in his forehead. The man who had subdued Lynn, was standing by the corridor, leading to the main room.
He had Lynn's gun in his hand and he had shot the boy. The monster fell down to the floor and turned back to looking normal.
" What was that?", asked Rachel in shock.
The man looked into her eyes with a shocked expression.
" I think we should be afraid, little bunny. Looking at him, I think the end of the world is finally here", answered the man.
Farewell: Yay! I wrote a chapter, while sick. I feel horrible.
Hopefully you guys are doing better than I, right now.
Rachel and friends will keep on fighting their own fight. I'll stick with them since Freddy and friends are not doing anything special right now.
Bye! THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IS TO WRITE.
