FNAF: What's Inside
Chapter 8: Meetings
Braedan
As the memory faded, I opened my eyes. I felt disoriented. I couldn't hear and the room was spinning. I blinked and suddenly heard a quiet banging sound. It grew louder, and muffled voices could be heard. What? Who's talking? As the room slowly stopped spinning, the voices began to get clearer.
"What if something happened to him?"
"Should someone try to go through the vents?"
"Did someone do something to him?"
"I'm gonna call Fred. I'm getting worried." At that I abruptly stood up and hit the button. The door slid up and everyone just stared in surprise. I blinked and leaned against the door frame. Bonnie, TB, TF, and Freddi were standing just outside the door.
"You're okay!" TF said as she pulled me into a tight hug.
"Yeah… I'm fine." I said quietly. "Sorry for worrying everyone."
"What happened in there?" Freddi said.
"…" I was silent. TF let go of me and took a step back.
"Yeah. What happened? Why were you quiet for over an hour?" TF asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." I replied.
"Tell me what's going on." Freddi growled as she stepped towards me.
"I said I don't want to talk about it." I coldly replied. "Understand?"
"I understand fine." Freddi said with a laugh. "I just don't care. Now tell me or I'll make you regret it." Freddi and I just glared at each other.
"Fine. I haven't had the best… experiences in my life. Some of the more… scarring experiences left in imprint. I occasionally relive experiences in flashbacks. Sometimes it lasts an hour, sometimes it's only a minute. Are you happy now?" I asked angrily. Freddi just silently stared at me.
"I apologize." Freddi said quietly. "I didn't realize that something had happened in your past. I thought you were just… freaking out."
"Freaking out?" I said slowly.
"You know… because of our bodies…" Freddi began explaining. "That's why I had the others stay back. I wasn't sure if you were just having problems with that."
"Seriously?" I chuckled. "I was surprised, but that's nothing compared to some of the things I've seen..." I trailed off as I remembered the nightmare I'd had for years.
"Um…" TF mumbled. "Are you okay?" I blinked and smiled at her.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Just some bad memories." I said with a grin. "Course, they're only memories."
"Yeah…" Freddi said quietly.
"Really. It's fine. Now, why don't you have everyone else come meet me? I still haven't met Foxy, Mangle, Balloon Girl, Marionette, Chica, or TC yet tonight." I said cheerfully.
"I'll send them along." Bonnie said as Freddi turned and walked away. "I think Freddi feels bad about bringing everything up."
"It's fine." I said quietly. "I'll go find her and talk to her in a bit." I looked up at the clock. "Only 2:42? Nice. That'll be plenty of time."
"Alright." Bonnie said before motioning to TF and TB. "We'll go let them know."
"Got it!" I said as I leaned back into my seat. I need a root beer.
So... I know this is a short chapter, but I decided to upload it as is instead of trying to lengthen it. I cut it at an appropriate spot, so expect another chapter soon. An another note, my beta reader is missing. He said a while ago that his internet might go out, so I'm assuming that's what happened. In the meantime, if anyone wants to help out, I could use it. Also, I still need some OC's. I decided that the first five OC's will get to be other employees in the restaurant. Anyone who's in it will be given special sneak peeks and stuff. Peace. Crimson out.
