BECOMING FREDDY
Chapter 6- The Awakening, Part III
Daniel wasn't sure how to react; he was in a Bonnie costume. As cool as that was, it made no sense. He remembered seeing a new Bonnie in the security office room. He remembered going to follow the new Bonnie into the air vent. After that, things were fuzzy.
Wait, where was Heather? She could explain things to him! Daniel tried to look around, but found it difficult to do so. Looking to his right, he discovered the room was dark and empty, which sent a chill down the spine of his endoskeleton. Daniel then glanced to his left, his neck becoming stuck. From this position, he could see Chica across from him and Freddy next to him.
Chica was lifeless, motionless. Freddy, however, appeared to be animated. Daniel tried to talk to the giant bear.
"Freddy?" he asked timidly.
Freddy's head turned toward him, which surprised him.
"You're awake," Freddy-Ryan-said as more of a statement rather than a question.
"What...what's going on?" Daniel asked.
Ryan sighed, which sounded odd as it emanated from Freddy's voice box.
"Did you see Golden Bonnie?" he questioned.
"Yeah," Daniel confirmed. "It looked like regular Bonnie at first, so I wanted to go and see him. He's my favorite."
"But it wasn't regular Bonnie. It was the bad guy."
"Bad guy?"
"Yeah, the bad guy," Ryan said. "He...hurt you."
Though Bonnie's facial expression did not change, Daniel frowned.
"What do you mean, he hurt me?" he questioned.
Ryan stayed quiet, unsure of how to tell "Bonnie" of his fate. His grandpa always said that it was best to treat bad news like removing a band-aid; it was best to just rip it off and get it over with instead of prolonging the pain by peeling it off slowly.
"You're...um, dead," Ryan explained quietly.
He turned his body to better face Bonnie, especially when the new kid didn't answer.
"You're a liar," Daniel finally spoke.
Ryan didn't take it personally. He didn't want to believe Matthew when he broke the news either. Maybe Matthew could help him...
"Wait right here," he instructed.
Ryan had learned how to manipulate his Freddy body over the past few days (though his movements were still somewhat wobbly and clunky). He departed from the stage, his heavy footsteps echoing throughout the empty buliding. Daniel waited silently for his return, not that he could really leave the stage in the first place.
A few minutes later, Ryan returned, followed by a long and lanky figure that was black and white in color. A Freddy Fazbear fan, Daniel recognized it as the puppet.
"Hi," the pupet said. "I'm Matthew and this is my friend, Ryan."
"No, you're the puppet and that's Freddy," Daniel remarked.
"We are now," Ryan said. "Before this, no. But Matthew helped me to keep living, just in a different body."
"What's your name?" Matthew asked.
"I'm Daniel,"
"You can be our friend, Daniel," Matthew continued. "We put you in the Bonnie suit so you could stay alive and be with us."
Matthew handed Daniel something as he spoke. It was a Bonnie plushie. His Bonnie plushie. The same plushie he earned with his collection of tickets earlier in the day. It looked the same, though bits of it were spattered with something which, unbeknownst to Daniel, was blood.
Daniel stayed quiet, taking in all that Matthew and Ryan had told him. It still didn't seem real to him that, if what they said was true, he was dead. However...spending eternity as his favorite character? He guessed it could be worse.
