Greeting: The others should be on their way to Fazbear's pizza The rest of their group is waiting for them. This time, we'll have a look at them. Have fun, reading!
( Springtrap's nap room. Springtrap, Bonnie and Catty. Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria)
The room embraced all the lovely kids who were inside. It looked out for them and closed off the dangers of the outside world.
Bonnie had joined Springtrap and Catty an hour before. She and Freddy were not in the mood for singing and neither was Chica.
Vixey, Felix and Fang had taken the stage for the time being and it was up to them to keep everyone safe from sadness.
Bonnie had not spent much time in that room, filled with pure silence. Peace lay on them and Bonnie could feel its hand petting her and her friends.
Catty and Springtrap were behind Bonnie and played with the children. Bonnie was by the door, staring at its knob.
The hinges looked weird as they were holding onto the blue frame. There was a tiny star just below the upper hinge.
Bonnie had been glancing at it every now and then. She was not sure what she was waiting for exactly.
Her guitar was on her lap and her feet were in a lotus position, underneath it. Her ears were pointing at the ceiling and rotating slowly.
Bonnie was not sure if she was waiting for someone to come and tell her the news. Either the group would come back or they'd never return.
Bonnie hoped the news was good. She was a tiny bit worried.
Compared to Springtrap, Bonnie was not worried at all.
She felt tiny hands touch her. Bonnie glanced at a boy, on her right.
" Hi, little one", Bonnie smiled at him kindly.
The boy was shy so it took him a while to greet her.
" Bonnie. Could you come play with us? You make Julisa worried by acting like this", the boy glanced at Julisa when he said it.
Bonnie glanced at her friends.
" Sure. What are you playing?", Bonnie followed the child.
By all accounts, it wasn't intensive or if it was, it was quiet for an intense game.
" I guess we are hanging around", the boy wasn't sure.
He looked pretty tired and that made him restless.
Bonnie put the guitar down and followed the boy. Catty seemed to be poking at some girl's hand with her fingers.
She was singing a song and moving her fingers along the melody.
" This crow went to the kitchen and cooked his family a pot of soup", sang Catty.
She mimicked mixing soup and circled the girl's palm with her finger. Bonnie liked it, it suited the atmosphere of the room.
Bonnie was thankful that the room was there.
The darkness had invaded every single corner but it stayed out of that room. That might have been why the monsters hadn't been able to enter it.
Bonnie glanced at Julisa and smiled at her.
Julisa seemed to have grown up during the last few days. She looked at least eighteen years old by then.
Her body still belonged to a child and the way she hugged Springtrap was the same.
Those revealed that she was still the same Julisa they knew and loved. The way Julisa looked at Bonnie and the other kids had gone through a dangerous change.
" Are you tired Julisa? You look terrible, sweetie", asked Bonnie.
Julisa let the sides of her face rise a little. She shook her head.
" I'm fine. Catty is being funny", she answered Bonnie.
" She is indeed", Bonnie let out a giggle.
Right then, Bonnie glanced at Springtrap. Springtrap was lying on the ground with a child on his lap. The grass was peeking through the gap between his ears.
It was hard to guess which was softer, the grass or his fur. He looked tense and his eyes were staring into nothingness.
Bonnie walked past Julisa and went to him. Springtrap's arms were behind his head and Bonnie heard him sniff.
" Springtrap. Little cuddle bunny Springy", Bonnie said silently to get his attention.
" Hi", Springtrap greeted joylessly without even glancing in her direction.
Bonnie lay down beside him and grabbed his hand. She petted it calmly. Bonnie knew what he had in mind.
" I bet Goldie and the others are on their way back. You think they found Leslie?", Bonnie looked at Springtrap.
The golden bunny let out a hum which meant nothing.
" That place", said Springtrap.
" I have only bad memories of that place. It was a tragedy. Nothing good can be found from that dreadful block of concrete", he sighed, looking at the ceiling.
Bonnie touched his face gently and turned his head to look at her.
" We found you. Aren't you good?", she showed him her smile.
Springtrap thought of what to say.
" I am or at least I try to be. I am not what I was before everything went dark", Springtrap told Bonnie.
She knew that Springtrap referred to the darkness of his past.
Before he found out about Springlock's way of having fun with kids. Before he was taken away. Back then when everything was good.
" I know that. Even now, you are adorable and so sweet. You are not dark, okay", said Bonnie.
Springtrap didn't answer. Both turned their heads to stare at the ceiling.
" I truly wished none of us would ever have to go there again. It was bad. Hopefully all the slaves, left in there, were killed", Springtrap muttered to Bonnie.
Luckily, no one else heard that.
" What? Why do you wish that?", Bonnie glanced at him a little.
Springtrap didn't need time to answer that.
" Because there is no way death can be worse than working as a slave in that place. The rooms reek of rotten corpses and animals", answered Springtrap.
Bonnie remembered passing by a room when she had been in the factory. She had been fighting and hadn't had time for a tour but she remembered the stink.
Working in there must have been a nightmare to the slave animatronics.
Then her mind was filled with the picture of what waited on the other side of death. The eye was made of faces.
The pupil was a gap which led to unknown terrors.
" I see you", laughed the giant frozen eye.
Bonnie almost shot up.
" Yes, it is worse than the life of a slave", she muttered.
She was frozen in place for a moment.
" Springtrap?", she glanced next to her.
Springtrap was gone like a cloud. The kid was still there but the bunny had vanished.
Bonnie got up just in time to notice Springtrap's golden tail through the open door.
He closed it behind him as he walked out.
Bonnie glanced at Catty and guessed she could take care of herself for a moment. Bonnie went after Springtrap.
She apologized to Catty for leaving her by herself.
Catty was not worried.
" Go ahead. We can handle ourselves. Right, kiddies?", Catty asked the children.
Bonnie heard mumbling which indicated approval. Bonnie grabbed her guitar from where she had left it. She left the room and rushed after the golden bunny.
" Why did he leave? Was it something I said? Oh boy", Bonnie thought by herself as she ran.
Bonnie rushed out of the old section of the pizzeria and looked for Springtrap.
" Are you searching for a big yellow bunny buddy?", asked a voice behind her.
Bonnie looked behind her and saw Freddy, leaning into a wall. He seemed to have been waiting for the others as well.
Bonnie nodded to him swiftly and fixed her eyes on him. Freddy looked chill and relaxed. Bonnie could easily imagine a big cigar in his mouth.
Freddy had crossed his arms and he looked at Bonnie like a criminal. Freddy's eyes glanced at the hallway that led out of the Arcade palace.
" He went towards the main stage. I greeted him but he remained silent", Freddy told Bonnie.
She nodded gratefully and left.
" Hey, Bonnie", Freddy said suddenly.
" Huh?", Bonnie turned around quickly.
Freddy took a step forward and let his arms go limp and fall to his hips.
" What did you do? He looked pretty upset. What did you say to make him so gloomy?", Freddy asked her.
" I don't know. I tried to comfort him. He was worried about our friends. I guess I said something bad", shrugged Bonnie.
Freddy nodded understandingly.
Bonnie left and headed towards the main stage. There was no show at the moment so Springtrap had gone on stage and sat down on the edge.
" I miss Goldie. Where are you? I don't want to lose you again. I thought we could have been together", thought Springtrap.
None of Bonnie's words had hurt him but he just didn't want to speak anymore.
Bonnie was so sweet, trying to comfort him. Even though Springtrap understood that, it hadn't worked.
He had decided to go to the main stage.
He stared at the front door but saw nothing through it.
" He will come. Goldie, please open that door. I miss you", Springtrap mouthed.
His gaze was fixed on it and he wanted to see Goldie. Only occasional adults blocked his view. He was there until Bonnie came.
" Springtrap. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you", Bonnie came around the corner.
Springtrap's head turned slowly and his eyes were wet.
" You didn't hurt me, Bonnie. You could never do that", he corrected.
Bonnie let a sigh burst out of her mouth.
" Oh. Well, thank goodness. I thought I said something wrong", Bonnie looked down in relief.
Springtrap looked back at the door.
" What are you doing?", Bonnie asked confusedly.
" I want Goldie to come home", weeped Springtrap.
His voice broke all of the sudden. Bonnie came to him.
" Springy. Don't cry. Come here", Bonnie opened her arms for a hug.
Springtrap didn't see anyone come through. Every second made him more agonized. Then he let out a teary sigh.
Bonnie came to him and hugged him.
" There you go. Good bunny", Bonnie said calmingly as Springtrap hugged her back.
" I wouldn't have wanted Goldie to leave", sobbed Springtrap.
Bonnie kissed him on the cheek.
" But you did. You didn't hold onto him selfishly. You did the right thing. Don't cry over it", Bonnie told him.
" But I miss him. I'm sure he won't come back", Springtrap took a step back and looked at Bonnie.
" He will and so will the rest. I'll prove it to you. Follow me", Bonnie smiled at Springtrap.
She grabbed his hand and walked with him. They went past the Circle of the hidden treasure.
Nadia's meditation room was just ahead. Bonnie took the left right before the room.
Springtrap could see Gretta and Mrs. Grandy. They were talking to Scarlett.
" Follow me", said Bonnie because Springtrap had stopped for a second.
He followed her to a tiny gap that was in the hallway. The gap was for an entrance to a closet. There was a window right in front of them and a door on their left.
" The factory is in that direction. When they come, you'll see Faith from miles away", Bonnie pointed out the window.
" You'll be the first one to see them", Bonnie got out of the way and let Springtrap closer.
" Thank you", Springtrap glanced at her and there was a smile on his face.
" You're welcome, bunny buddy", Bonnie tilted her head and smiled.
Springtrap could be there and watch the horizon.
" I think they are coming. I can hear them", Springtrap clapped his hands happily.
Bonnie chuckled and shook her head, Springtrap was so silly.
Or was he? Was he really? Bonnie turned her ears towards the window.
" Springtrap. Is that you?", a small voice asked him.
Bonnie grabbed her guitar. Springtrap was not even thinking about fighting.
" I see her", Springtrap told Bonnie.
There was a girl outside. She had no black nor red eyes. She had had her back against the wall and tears in her eyes.
Her hair was a mess and she was wearing a red jumper. The girl stood up and was looking at Springtrap.
" What are you doing out there, sweetheart? It's dangerous", asked Springtrap, worried about the girl.
The window let some sound through.
" I lost my mom and dad", weeped the girl.
" We were close and my mom told me to come here. When I came, the doors were closed and no one could hear me.
I am stuck, please help me", the girl seemed honest.
Bonnie could sense no trickery. The girl was in danger and she needed to come inside. Bonnie wondered if she was ready to take the chance.
" Wait! Springtrap. This could be a trick. You know how these creatures can hide their presence", Bonnie stopped him from opening the window.
The window was hard and could only be opened from the inside.
" Look at her. She doesn't give me any creeps. That isn't a monster. It's a kid, Bonnie", Springtrap looked at her sadly.
" Please let me in. Don't shut me out", the girl was crying.
Bonnie had to make a choice.
" I should sense something, right? I can't. I'm not in hypnosis. She is a real human girl. Younger than Julisa", thought Bonnie.
She put her guard down.
" Let her in", Bonnie told Springtrap.
The golden bunny yanked the handle on the window. He opened it and the girl looked at him.
" Thank you, Springtrap. It's terribly cold", the girl was truly happy.
She wiped her tears with her sleeve.
Springtrap bent down to grab her.
" We love you. We didn't mean to lock you out. Come inside, little one", Springtrap picked her up.
Bonnie wondered if letting her in had been a mistake.
" What're you doing, Bonnie?", a voice asked behind her.
Bonnie hadn't even noticed someone sneaking up on her. Bonnie knew it was Julisa, she had followed them.
" Why is the window open? What are you doing?", Julisa peeked around Bonnie.
She tried to jump to see better. Bonnie turned around and looked at her.
" There's a girl outside. Springtrap's going to let her in. We can't leave a child out there", answered Bonnie.
Julisa's eyes widened in fear. The girl, outside, peeked into the pizzeria and saw Julisa. The two girls were staring at one another for a split second.
Julisa jumped behind Bonnie's protecting leg.
" Don't let her in! She is a trap!", Julisa warned the animatronics.
Bonnie patted Julisa's head and knelt down.
" It's okay. I can feel her distress. This is not a mind game, Julisa. Calm down", Bonnie said calmingly.
Julisa peeked around her to look at the girl.
Springtrap had taken her in and closed the window.
" Who is that?", asked the girl, held by Springtrap. The golden bunny hugged her and put his cheek against hers.
" It's a new friend for you. This is Julisa", Springtrap told her and smiled at Julisa.
To Julisa, something was wrong. The girl had been outside for too long all by herself.
" I don't like her", Julisa told Bonnie.
Julisa seemed more like a kid right then even though there was seriousness in her eyes.
" Julisa. Don't say that. Everything's fine. Springtrap, bring her to the dining area with us", Bonnie looked at them.
Julisa grabbed Bonnie's hand.
" I don't like Julisa. Can I play with you instead?", requested the other girl, looking at Springtrap.
" She'll step out of it, dear one. We have just gone through a lot, especially Julisa and others like you", explained Springtrap.
He carried the girl to the main room. Julisa was constantly looking back at the other girl.
Both were scared of the other.
Julisa stopped and Bonnie was forced to stop too. Springtrap stopped in confusion. Julisa looked at Bonnie quickly.
" Let's take her to the nap room. If she is a monster, she won't be able to go inside", Julisa pleaded of her.
Bonnie glanced at the other girl and Julisa. Then she let out a deep sigh.
" Okay. If it makes you feel better", shrugged Bonnie.
The other girl was confused.
" What's a nap room?", she asked, looking at Bonnie.
She came to the girl and smiled. Julisa remained in her place and crossed her arms.
" It's a beautiful room, not far away. You must be tired. You can sleep in there and Springtrap will take care of you", explained Bonnie, smiling.
The girl looked at Springtrap.
" But aren't naps suppose to be taken in the afternoon?", she asked him and Bonnie.
Springtrap chuckled.
" It's just a name. You can sleep in there whenever you want and as long as you want", he kissed the girl.
" You would like that, wouldn't you?", Bonnie said in baby talk.
The girl yawned.
" Yes, I would. I'm tired after listening to her all day", she told Bonnie.
" Her? Me or Julisa?", giggled Bonnie.
The girl shook her head.
" Not you. The woman. She says I need to come inside. She told me that she would rip my throat out if I didn't", explained the girl.
She seemed to regret it instantly. Bonnie's core jumped.
" I'm sorry", the girl covered her mouth.
Bonnie tried to remain calm.
" It's okay. Where is this woman right now? I would like to meet her. Is she outside or inside?", asked Bonnie.
She tried to stay calm but the girl noticed her tension.
" You're scaring me, Bonnie. I'm sorry I mentioned her", the girl apologized to Bonnie.
She buried her face into Springtrap's fur. Springtrap petted the back of her head.
" We are not angry. Tell us, please. You can say it to me if Bonnie scares you", Springtrap told the girl.
His voice was gentle and the girl raised her head.
" Go, Springtrap. Encourage her more. You can do it", thought Bonnie.
" Will you not get angry if I tell you?", asked the girl.
" You can say it and I won't stop being your best bunny buddy", promised Springtrap.
The girl got closer to Springtrap's face. Bonnie showed the girl that she was not listening. The girl told Springtrap the answer.
" She is inside. I brought her in", whispered the girl.
It was followed instantly by the woman's voice.
" You sure did", the voice said angrily.
Springtrap tried to push the girl away but it was too late.
She had been taken over.
It sank its teeth into Springtrap's face. He screamed in pain, which brought everyone to the main room.
Bonnie attempted to hit the girl with her guitar. The beast witch was swift with its movements.
It jumped onto the guitar and leaped over Bonnie.
It scraped Bonnie's back painfully.
Bonnie turned around as soon as the pain stopped. She knew exactly what the beast was going to do.
" Julisa!", Bonnie exclaimed in distress.
Julisa attempted to escape but the beast was too fast. It pushed her to the ground.
Then it grabbed Julisa's head and smacked it against the floor.
" You blew my cover! Are you happy now, you piece of shit?", the beast said angrily.
It noticed the animatronics and the adults who had come. In order to protect itself, it grabbed Julisa and wrapped its arms around her.
Julisa was a hostage.
The two girls were about the same size. It got ready to tear her throat open.
" No!", shouted Springtrap and Bonnie.
" Get back or she dies. This little witch goes to Hell if you come closer", the beast told everyone.
" Let me go", pleaded Julisa.
The beast was angry at her.
" You dumb bitch! I was only suppose to act as a spy. It was all going to go so well. You ruined it, witch!", it explained.
Bonnie understood it. The beast had been hiding inside the girl, hidden in her heart. That was why she hadn't sensed anything weird.
It had wanted to be a spy but Julisa's paranoia had been its doom.
Springtrap had encouraged the girl to tell them about the beast. It was angry at him too.
" You witches are always a pain in the ass. You and your stupid animatronic friend will pay for this. I'll kill you both for this!", swore the beast.
" Wait!", Springtrap put his hand forward.
The beast had been about to kill Julisa but then it stopped and looked at him.
" Kill me! I'll let you kill me, just leave Julisa alone", Springtrap promised the beast.
" How nice. Sacrificing yourself for a witch? Your kind has always been the most annoying one. Don't worry though, I'll kill you", smiled the beast.
Springtrap was panting and expected it to take the deal.
" Right after I've killed her!", shouted the beast.
It was about to slice Julisa's throat.
" No!", screamed Springtrap.
It was like Nina all over again. There was just one little thing which was different, Nina had not been a witch.
As a last resort, Julisa set her hand ablaze. Her eyes turned blue. The light dazzled almost everyone, they covered their faces.
The beast let go of her as it let out a longest scream of all time. Julisa fell on her back and backed away, still shining the light at the beast.
Everyone in the room was able to look again. Julisa's light had been bright only at first.
The beast was screaming on the ground. Julisa's light was hurting it.
" You little bitch!
I'll kill you and everyone you love! If we don't destroy you from the outside, then you will be destroyed from the inside", screamed the beast.
It screamed like a banshee. After a few seconds, the girl's eyes and teeth were turned back to normal by Julisa's light.
The scream got quieter as it changed. It turned into crying as the beast was forced to leave the body.
The girl was crying on the floor and the deadly woman was nowhere to be seen.
Julisa extinguished the fire and her blue eyes turned back to normal.
Springtrap rushed to the crying girl and picked her up. Bonnie got startled for a second but Julisa looked at her.
" The beast is gone. She is herself again", Julisa told Bonnie.
Bonnie went to Julisa and hugged her.
She was scared but Bonnie's embrace calmed her down.
Springtrap comforted the other girl and gave her a long hug.
" It's fine. It's fine. I'm so sorry for making you tell me the truth", Springtrap began to sob as well.
That was the perfect time for Storm Jr. to rush into the room.
" Guys! We're back. We..What the..?", Storm Jr. stopped in place.
She had no idea of what was going on but it was nothing good by the looks of it.
The girl and Springtrap were crying and everyone else was terrified.
" What happened in here?", Storm Jr. asked them worriedly.
Everyone looked at her with no idea of what to say.
Farewell: That was close. It was also not what I planned to do in this chapter. It went pretty well anyway. I liked the way it turned out.
What do you, guys, think? Enjoyed yourselves?
I did absolutely enjoy myself! See you!
THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IS TO WRITE.
