Chapter 11- Endings and Beginnings
"Alright ma'am, you're finally free to go. Just make sure you stay out of trouble next time, I'd hate to have to see you in here again!" The officer at the front desk told Jessi as he signed her release forms. She smiled meekly at his half-joke.
"Y-Yes sir…" She muttered softly. He nodded as she left. She began walking home, feeling sick to her stomach. "I can't do this much longer… I can't do this…" She thought of her mother, her father, Jeremy, Bonnie. It was too much, yet she had to think about the future, if she even had one. "It's going to be tough… and the pressure is too much… can I do this? Will I do this?"
She finally made it back to her apartment. The cost of the apartment would be too high, she would lose it at the end of the month. She sighed, walking inside. She looked at the state of their house, the carnage her brother had left after his anger fits. She assumed her parents were still in their room, hanging from their necks. Dead. All dead. Her brother was gone, as was was no one left, and only Chica to sympathize with. "I don't really even know where she is…. I heard the old place shut down… so…" She shook her head, heading over to the door for the mail.
"Grand reopening?" She said as she looked at the old mail. It was dated a week and a bit ago, so she figured out it happened while she was in jail. She read the address of the new location. "Oh, it's back in the old place… so...Chica is there…" She thought, looking away from the mail for a moment. She went into the kitchen to grab something. "I'll end this pain today, even if I have to do it myself…"
The hallway was dark, and the lights flickered on and off with an uncommon frequency. It gave Tee Chee chills up her spine "Chica, do you think we'll find anything?" Tee Chee asked her with dread. "I mean… soon? It's really dark and kinda creepy down here…" Chica giggled.
"Um… Sure. Don't worry about it, we'll find him. Besides, how bad could it be? I mean, it's just dark and creepy, sure, but it could be dark, creepy, and the lights could go out over our heads…" As she said this, the light above her and down the hallway went out, as if on cue. "Um, well… uh…" Tee Chee giggled.
Chica's eyelights kicked in, lighting up the area around her vision. Tee Chee squinted, looking hard at the wall. "M-My eyelights won't turn on! T-They broke!" Tee Chee cried, looking dead at the wall. She began smacking her head with her arm, in a desperate attempt to turn her lights back on.
"Tee Chee! What are you doing! Stop it!" Chica said, grabbing her arm and pushing her against the wall.
"You don't understand! I'm breaking! My suit is decaying… the plastic might crack… what if my eye lights are just the start… I don't want to die…" Tee Chee said. Chica looked away, sliding her hand off the wall.
"I… I know… dying is my biggest fear too… think about me though, I've already died once, nearly twice… and I'm just waiting for the next time to come. As long as I'm still here, You won't die… and I'll do my best to make sure…" Said Chica, wiping a tear off Tee Chee's face. "Don't worry… I'm here… I won't leave you… not if I can help it…"
"B-But… what if you can't? I mean, what if everything you do just leads up to the inevitable death?" Said Tee Chee. Chica laughed, looking down to her.
"Tee Chee, everyone dies. No matter how many times it takes, everyone will eventually meet their end… and no matter what we do to stop it, it will come without warning." Said Chica. Tee Chee seemed a bit restless; however.
"But if we all die, what's the point in living… or whatever it is we are doing, I wouldn't exactly call us 'Living'." Said Tee Chee. Chica looked at the wall for a moment, pondering the question.
"Well!" She said, hugging the chicken and beginning to walk down the hall "If we knew why life was worth living, we wouldn't be living our lives just to figure that out. We live our lives to figure out why our life's worth living!" Said Chica with a sly grin. "It might be love, it might be fame, it might even be to figure out if the universe ever ends, but one thing's for sure, if we knew why we were alive, we would be dead. Our life ends with our death's beginning… The End is the Beginning…" She said, realizing the truth of her words herself. "Every time you die, it's just the beginning of something new… whether it's death or a new life. It's just a new end to a different beginning… Ah! Sorry, let's get going! I doubt you want to stand around at talk about this sort of thing!" Chica said laughing.
"R-Right…" Tee Chee said, feeling a bit light headed. She had no idea Chica was so philosophical. "The End is the Beginning…"
"Hello?" Jessi said, looking into the dark building. Luckily, the window of the kitchen was locked. She turned on her flashlight, pointing it around the room. Everything in the kitchen was stainless steel, and every object in the room matched. It was also VERY old.
"Hello?" She said again, walking out of the kitchen into the main party room. She shined her flashlight around the room, the light catching and reflecting of the colorful stars hanging from the ceiling. Jessi didn't like the building, so much grief and hatred flowed from it, making her grab something from her pocket. She sighed; however, placing it back "Not yet… not yet…"
She looked around for Chica, finding the door to the parts and service room open. "Maybe…" she whispered, walking over to it. She peeked inside, looking around for anyone. "Hello?" She said again. With no response, she continued into the room, noting the basement door. It had a large "Employees only." Written on it, and she could tell it was used recently based on how it was slightly open. Normally, Jessi followed company rules. But she didn't care anymore, and started down the stairs on the other side of the door. "I hope she's down here…"
She finally got to the bottom, looking around the hallways for someone. Anyone, especially Chica. She had something to say, it was really important. "Chica!" She yelled, looking down the hallways to her left and right. She heard something from the left, starting down that way. "Chica!" She yelled again, turning to the right when she heard her yell back. At the end, was the big yellow bird, and another one standing behind her. She seemed frightened, but Jessi didn't care.
"Jessi! What are you doing here?! I thought you were in jail…" Chica said, hugging her tightly. "It doesn't matter… I'm glad you came."
"Yeah… I got out… I just had to tell you something important. It's been in my head for about a week and I'm certain about it." Jessi said, catching Chica's attention.
"Um, what is it? Is it about Bonnie? Jeremy… our parents? You can tell me anything, I'm technically you're big sister you know…" She said.
"I... " Jessi said, tears starting in her eyes. She pulled something out of her pocket, and Chica's eyes widened when she noticed what it was. "I love you! Bonnie! Jeremy! Mom and Dad! I love you all! I don't want to be confined to this earth anymore.. not without the ones that gave me love and care! I'M DONE BEING ALONE! I CAN'T LIVE MY LIFE ALONE ANYMORE!" She said, plunging the knife deep into her gut, sliding it up and through her sternum. Her eyes stared dead into Chica's, and she saw them burn like a forest fire out of control.
"Jessi!" Chica screamed as she fell to the ground. Jessi spat up blood, and she closed her eyes in the pain. Chica grabbed her body and held her tightly. Jessi smiled a bit, looking up at her with subdued eyes.
"Goodbye... Charlie... I hope you'll… be alright... without… me…" She said, falling limp in Chica's arms. Tee Chee stood motionless behind Chica. Chica sat down on the ground, her lifeless sister lying in her lap.
"Look what happens when people die… more people just die with them!" She thought. Tee Chee walked up to her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"You ok?" She asked with a shaky voice.
"She… she can still be saved…" She thought, looking up at Tee Chee with her wet eyes. "SHE CAN STILL BE SAVED" She yelled, leaping on top of the smaller bird, knocking her to the ground.
"C-Chica! What are you doing" Tee Chee cried, her plastic chest being ripped from the rest of her body. "Chica! Stop! Please!"
"I WON'T BE ALONE! I CAN'T DO THIS AGAIN!" She said, throwing a punch into Tee Chee's face, knocking her out from this earth. "I won't let her new beginning be the end…"
