Greeting: Welcome back to Fazbear's. I am very happy to be here writing today's chapter. Enjoy it, everybody. I wanted to go back to Rachel's but there is still more things to do at Freddy's.

( Storm Jr. On the roof in astral form)

It had all happened too fast for her taste. Storm Jr. had first witnessed the banishment ritual of her friend.
Then it hadn't happened after all.
Mrs. Grandy had killed herself to save Foxy's family. Storm Jr. and her sister's thoughts had been all over the place after that.
Willa had been hugging Crystal gratefully.
Those two had gone to the backstage and taken the brown wolf with them. Willa and Crystal had wanted to spend some time without anyone else.

Storm Jr. had been okay with that. She was happy that Crystal hadn't wanted her to go with them.
Storm Jr. wanted to be alone for a while. She had left her body, it was lying by the old restrooms in the abandoned section of the pizzeria.
Those, going to the nap room, wouldn't notice it at all.
Storm Jr. wasn't worried about her body being found.

She was on the roof and sitting on the edge of a chimney. There was no one around, not even monsters.
The place was empty but they were close by.
Storm Jr. could see a glimpse of something fast every now and then. It was like the run of a rabbit.
The monsters were hidden in the shadows and in the thick fog, lying on the ground.

Storm Jr. was peering at the horizon and letting her thoughts drift.
" Crystal and her parents are alive, that is true, Storm Jr.", she told herself.
It had been a close call, a very close call. Everyone had been shocked after Mrs. Grandy had let herself die.
Gretta had lost some of her honor. The others were not looking at her respectfully anymore.
Needless to say, they were not on her side. Gretta had allowed her friend to die.
It was since Gretta had not believed that Mrs. Grandy would have done it. The question everyone had on their lips was why Mrs. Grandy sacrificed herself.
Storm Jr. doubted they would ever truly find out the answer.

She was dead and not coming back anyway.

Storm Jr. could see Mrs. Grandy in the middle of the fog. Her hand was above the fog and the fingers were reaching for the sky.
It looked nasty to Storm Jr.
" Her body was left there. The monsters did it for a reason. They left it there so the dead grin on her face would haunt us forever", sighed Storm Jr.
The monsters had looked like they had eaten her completely. Storm Jr. had checked the body out a few minutes before.
There had been some flesh left. The face and the grin on it had been staring at the pizzeria.
Storm Jr. wasn't sure but she felt that the monsters had moved the head. It had not been facing the pizzeria before.

It was just a hunch and she had no proof but it made sense.
" It's all about fear. It's all about intimidating us and our children", thought Storm Jr.
Then a sudden idea popped into her head.
" Maybe it was their plan! They tried to make us banish Foxy. They knew Gretta's fear would control her. They pushed Foxy into a state of rage", she said out loud.
She was an astral body so she wasn't afraid that someone might hear her. The idea made sense.
Foxy would have never threatened Springtrap like that in normal circumstances.
Foxy was compassionate and kind. That was why it had shocked the other animatronics.
" Little red-eyed bastards. Luckily, Mrs. Grandy messed up your plans", she cursed the monsters in her head.

Storm Jr. jumped off the chimney and floated to the ground. However, she stopped half way and looked into the distance.
Her snout shivered at the scent. Even in astral form, she could smell it. It was weird since no scent should have existed in the astral world.
It frightened her but she was also curious.
Storm Jr. tried to recognize the scent but failed. It was unlike anything else she had smelled before.
It wasn't the corpse in the fog nor the dead animals in the dirt. Storm Jr. knew what a corpse smelled like, that wasn't it.
The animals in the dirt weren't anywhere near it either. She knew that scent.
That was a pleasing scent with a nice tint of nature.
The one she smelled right then was rotten.

Not in a normal way, in a spiritual way.

The scent wasn't special but it rushed into her ghostly snout and teased it.
" What in the world could have a scent like this?", asked Storm Jr. while grinning at it.
She was pretty sure that the source wasn't anything good. It would have been good to check it out though.
Storm wouldn't have approved but she wasn't there. The scent was spiritual so it was likely that its source was too.

Storm Jr. would be in danger if it was. She had the courage to go forward and find out what the source was.
She risked her life while doing so but she might save her friends as well.
Storm Jr. doubted a lot of things but she was sure that the source was not a normal monster.
" Bringing the big guns? Not fare", she shook her head at the direction of the scent.
It was in the fog and she couldn't see it. She had to approach it. She floated forward and peered ahead.
The fog rose around her. The scent was everywhere and it made her dizzy.
" Where are you, whatever you are?", she looked around as the scent got unbearable.

The fog was thickening and rising higher. Storm Jr. wasn't a fan of the weather.
She wasn't sure if it was the hurricane, affecting the weather but the weather was not normal.
It was either wind or fog at all times, both horrible choices.
Storm Jr. wished she could have held her breath. She couldn't since the scent was everywhere.
It was weird to call it a scent as a matter of fact. It was more like an emotion.
It impaled Storm Jr. and floated through her. She moved towards its source.

" Esse ermah?", a questioning voice said in the fog.
Storm Jr. turned around. Someone was there undoubtedly, some beast witch. No other language sounded like that.
It was some old language used by the beasts. She started to hear a weird sound in her head.
It was a grinding sound that also kind of sounded like Freddy Kruger's claws.
Something was scraping the ground in front of Storm Jr.

She began to see the fog get out of its way, whatever it was. The scent was nasty and Storm Jr. would have really wanted to just flee back to her own body.
" But my friends need me more than ever. This could end up saving us all", Storm Jr. said to herself.
She knew her hope was naive and pointless most likely. It was not her fault that she couldn't get the feeling out of her.
The source of the scent was something worth checking out.

So Storm Jr. stayed in the air, knowing that the creature was coming closer. The whiteness opened up like the doors of a castle.
It was like it was making way for the king, ruling the kingdom with a cruel hand.
There was fear crawling up her back and whispering into her ears. Storm Jr. had trust in herself and her astral body.
" It can't probably see me anyway. I'm spiritual, it's material", Storm Jr. shrugged off the fear.
It was all self-deceit.

A hand reached out for Storm Jr. It penetrated the fog and its claws cut the frail whiteness.
It was more than burnt, the hand was corroded. The skin was grey and full of warts, it was like a plague victim.
It was a monster just like Storm Jr. had known all along. This one was different though.
As more hands came out of the fog, Storm Jr. backed off quickly.
She knew why the scraping had seemed so weird. The monster had more than two hands.
It was like an amalgamation of multiple bodies. The hands tried to touch Storm Jr. but they went through her.
" Phew! It's material as I suspected. It can't grab nor wound me", thought Storm Jr.

" Is it a baby wolf I feel in the air?", a chuckling voice asked.
It was the voice of a true witch. If she hadn't known better, Storm Jr. would have said that she was in a Disney movie.
There was certainty and arrogance in the voice as the being stepped forward.
" The killer of Lord Jenner has given herself to us due to her misbelief. Your astral form can't hide from us", the voice laughed.
Storm Jr. didn't understand what was so funny about the situation. The monster sounded like the Sorcerer due to the way it spoke.
She was scared but believed the monster not to hurt her.
" Terribly silent you are indeed. But so childishly naive", it sounded disappointed.
Storm Jr. was weirded out by what it said. It sounded like it had been looking forward to meeting Storm Jr.
Had it lured her to it? Was all that a big trap?

" What do you want? Why are you hiding in the darkness? If you don't answer, I'll get my friends.
You can be big and bad but my friends will take you down", Storm Jr. sounded threatening.
The creature peeked through the fog. Storm Jr. could see its face which was like the fog itself. It was hard to notice but it was there.
The face was smiling.
" Why am I hiding? I don't know. Why are you hiding in the pizzeria when you could play with us?", it answered with a question.
Storm Jr. remained strong.
" That wasn't an answer. What do you want? Whatever you are planning will never work. Go away and stop scaring our children", Storm Jr. told it.
The monster's only response was a laughter.
" Oh. We will go away. As soon as we are dancing on your corpses. Prematurely, we thank you for helping us", the voice said to her politely.
" Wrong! I won't help you, monster", Storm Jr. snapped at it for saying that.

Then something stepped out of the foggy face. It was a burnt astral corpse.
The corpse had no hair but it was a woman by all accounts.
" Oh. You don't help us. None of us have use for you. I just want to get that Julisa girl for ruining my plan", said the woman.
Storm Jr. realized that it was the woman who had possessed Harriet.
Then she also realized what the woman was trying to do. Her mouth opened wide.

" No! My body", she glanced towards the pizzeria.
The woman smiled and shook her index finger at Storm Jr.
" No, baby wolf. My body. You want it? Then I suggest you hurry up", she chuckled.

She took off and left Storm Jr. behind. Storm Jr. was shocked for a second but got her bearings back.
Storm Jr. took off and flew after the woman. The rest of that weird creature laughed at the astral wolf and vanished into the supernatural fog.
As it was consumed, a pair of crimson red eyes could be seen in the whiteness.
The Apocalypse witch was there, watching the show with interest. Storm Jr. missed the eyes since she was in a hurry.
The astral woman was fast but Storm Jr. had a reason to catch up with her.
" If she gets into my body, I'll be trapped in here forever", thought Storm Jr.
Ornica had warned her about that when she had been given the ability. Storm Jr. had never even imagined that it might be something to take into account.
Storm Jr. hoped the woman did not know where the body was. It was a misbelief again.

The woman went straight for Storm Jr.'s body. She could probably feel it as the suction of an empty body was quite easy to feel.
" You are going nowhere, beast!", Storm Jr. grabbed the woman's leg.
She stopped and pulled the woman backwards.
" No! No! Let go of me!", the woman was kicking Storm Jr. in the face.
It hurt her but Storm Jr. held on. She imagined that her body was coughing up oil right then.
The body was still hers but it wouldn't be if the woman reached it before her.
" You will not walk among my friends. You will not use their trust against them", Storm Jr. assured the woman.
The woman laughed again maniacally.
" That is what kills you. Trust is pathetic just like your misbelief that you can save the children", she said.
Storm Jr. was slipping. The burnt body felt horrible. Storm Jr. was sure that the woman's skin would come off very soon.
" Your body is mine. Your soul belongs to the King. I will not fail my masters", the woman started to sound stressed.

Storm Jr. knew she would have to let go of her sooner or later.
" Well, better sooner", she thought.
Storm Jr. yanked the woman and used her to get a running start. She flew past the woman and aimed for her body.
The woman recovered fast and charged at the body as well. The two astral bodies were very close. The woman was right beside Storm Jr.
The race was tense and Storm Jr. started to doubt herself.
" Please make it, girl", she begged of herself.
Storm Jr. could see the body and feel its suction.
" There it is. Go", she thought and went for the final charge.
The woman grabbed her and it was impossible to know which one would win.

( Julisa and Harriet. By the nap room)

The two girls had formed a relationship that was hard to define. They weren't friends completely but they were together.
After hanging out with her, Julisa noticed that Harriet was quite similar to Betsy. Harriet was walking with her and Julisa hoped it would make her feel better.
Harriet's first impressions of the pizzeria had not been the best.
They weren't in the nap room but the door was open. Both girls could hear noises coming from the room.
They were walking back and forth near the door.
" Will Foxy be okay? We saved him right?", Harriet asked suddenly.
" Huh?", Julisa responded and peered at her.
Harriet hadn't spoken to her much. Julisa saw doubt in Harriet's eyes.
" We saved him, didn't we? Those foxes don't have to go", Harriet repeated the question.
Julisa nodded to her.
" Foxy will never go. Our friends will protect him. Foxy would never leave us", she answered.
Harriet took her word for it. The girls began to talk about various topics.
" Should we be afraid? Those evil people can't get in, can they?", Harriet leaned towards Julisa.

It was a normal worry. Harriet had noticed that the floor, in the corridor outside the nap room, had a weird tint of red on it.
The white tiles had been stained with blood.
After the battle, the corpses had joined Betsy in the cold room. The basement animatronics had tried to clean up the blood but a tint of red had remained.
Harriet's gaze drifted towards the floor. Julisa noticed the stains as well.
" You don't have to be afraid of that. The monsters got in at first but then they were pushed out of the pizzeria. Springtrap and the others will protect us.
They know the violence will shock us but they will do it anyway. It's for our own good", explained Julisa.

Harriet nodded with trust in her eyes. She had noticed the lack of happiness in the pizzeria.
It was not Harriet's problem though. The girls had trust in the animatronics.
Foxy had just been scared for the kids. He hadn't truly wanted to kill or hurt Springtrap.
Harriet was grateful that Foxy hadn't had to leave.

Luckily, she hadn't seen what had happened to Mrs. Grandy. Julisa and Harriet sat down to the floor and leaned into the wall.
" Hey, Julisa. Where is that young fox? She was Foxy's daughter. I hope she still wants to talk to Foxy.
If my dad had done something like that, I wouldn't have talked to him", asked Harriet.

Julisa wasn't sure where Crystal was. She tried to remember if anyone had said anything, she got nothing.
" We should talk to her friends. Willa and Storm Jr. are with her most of the time", Julisa suggested.

Right then, Storm Jr. exited the abandoned section and the girls saw her.
" There is Willa. We can ask her", Harriet smiled.
Julisa giggled at her.
" That's Storm Jr. She and Willa are sisters so they are similar but Willa is a tiny bit shorter. That wolf is too tall to be Willa", Julisa corrected.
" Oh. Well, I know that now. She is really cute. Does she give out kisses like some others do?", Harriet shrugged it off.
" Yes, she does", Julisa answered Harriet.

Right then, Storm Jr. noticed them.
" Oh hi, girls. How are you doing?", she asked them and tried to seem relaxed.
Harriet put her thumb up.
" I am fine now that I'm safe", she told Storm Jr.
The wolf seemed exhausted and relieved.
" Are you okay, Storm Jr.?", Julisa asked her.
Storm Jr. smiled.
" Never better. I am still shocked about what happened to Foxy. It was horrible. Think we are safe though so don't worry, Harriet", Storm Jr.'s teeth glinted in the light.
" How about Foxy's daughter. Is she safe? We haven't seen her", asked Harriet.
Storm Jr. bent down.
" Crystal is fine, don't you worry", she answered.
Harriet nodded.
" Yeah. Hey! Do you want to play with us?", Harriet got excited.
She liked Storm Jr.
" Yea, sure. There's nothing like playing. It would feel good right now", Storm Jr. was ready.

Julisa thought that she seemed too happy to be concerned about Crystal.
Then again, Storm Jr. had emotions that went up and down like a roller coaster.
Storm Jr. helped the girls get up and wrapped her arms around them.
" Shall we go to the dining area or to the Circle? The Circle is my family's stage", Storm Jr. asked the girls.

Harriet wanted to go to the Circle of the hidden treasure. Julisa didn't care, she just wanted to be with Storm Jr.
" To the Circle it is. Let's go have some fun. It is better to be happy than sad. Maybe Crystal will join us, who knows", Storm Jr. looked at the girls.
Harriet giggled. She agreed with the funny wolf.
" Let's go. I will be happy to play with you. You are so cute", Harriet told Storm Jr.
She trusted that Storm Jr. would protect them like Julisa had said.
Harriet was happy to get the nasty woman out of her head. Storm Jr. ruffled Harriet's hair.
" Thank you. It's good to have someone who likes me. It makes me happy.
We have been depressed for the past days but it will all be over soon", Storm Jr. promised Harriet.

Then she bent down and kissed Harriet on the forehead. Harriet looked at Julisa.
" Just like you said", Harriet's gaze told her.
Julisa thought it looked like the kiss of someone, about to hurt Harriet.
Storm Jr. closed her eyes when she had kissed Harriet.
Storm Jr. had promised that the time of sadness would be over but that had sounded grim as well.
Maybe Julisa was a bit shocked after all. It was just that the woman, who possessed Harriet, had promised to get Julisa.
She was afraid and seeing threats everywhere.
Storm Jr. hugged Julisa since she seemed sad.
" Come on. Let's go, girls", Storm Jr. told them.

The wolf and the two girls walked towards the dining area. They were happy and couldn't hear the weeping that was floating in the air.
" No! You horrible monster. Stay away from them. They have done nothing wrong", Storm Jr. weeped in the corner where no one could see her.
She was trapped and her body was walking on its own. The monster had kicked her out of the way and she had lost the race.
Storm Jr. felt dead since she had no body to inhabit.
" What will I do? I may have just killed us all", Storm Jr. was floating in the air hopelessly.
The monster had broken through their defences. A monster had hidden among the animatronics.
Only God would know, what the monster could do as Storm Jr.

Farewell: I'm not sure this will work. This could either last to the end of the story or it could be solved in the next chapter.
I don't know. I will try to make this last.
THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IS TO WRITE.
