Chapter 6: Transferring Souls
Disclaimer: I don't own Five Nights at Freddy's. This chapter explains how the Purple Guy strikes again, and how Josh saves them from an eternity of pain. Don't forget to review, and enjoy!
I was depressed. It had been one month since we had moved, and three more children had disappeared at the purple guy's hand: a boy named Dan, a girl named Ellie and another boy named William. I wondered if, as a ghost, I could bring them back to life, maybe I had special powers? I floated out of my present and down the hallway. I hope the corpses were still there! Finally I got to the Parts Service room and located the secret door. I opened it nervously. There were the corpses, next to Old Bonnie and Fredbear (Both with endoskeletons, thank goodness). Suddenly I knew what to do. I closed my eyes and lifted my claws up in a sweeping motion. The corpses dissolved away. For a second, I wondered what happened. Suddenly, my head almost burst with the sound of four different voices screaming. They seemed to be in a never ending loop, like I was when I was bit, but they were part of my subconscious, in pain but still alive. I needed to find bodies to transfer them into, but there were none. Then I had a lightbulb moment.
I shot down the corridors. The screaming was giving me a headache, Dan's was especially loud. Finally I got to the show stage, and came face to face with the animatronics. Trying to steady myself, I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and lifted my claws up. The animatronics floated up into the air. Suddenly the screaming in my head stopped abruptly, and the animatronic's eyes glowed green. Finally they dropped to the floor.
"Hello?" I said. It was the first time I had spoke as this form, and I was curious to find that my voice had gone deeper, much like my father's. "Are you ok?"
The animatronics got up. They were shaking. With a pang, I remembered how scared I was when I turned into this form. "It's ok," I say. "No ones going to hurt you."
Suddenly Freddy looks up at me, his eyes fearful.
"Who are you?" He says. His voice is distorted, but I recognise it to be Tommy's.
"My name is Josh," I say. "I was killed like you."
"I was killed?!" Bonnie exclaimed. It must be Dan in there. "All I wanted was cake!"
"We did too," Chica looked sad, but accepting. Probably Ellie.
I left them to gather themselves for a moment, so I went back to my present. I looked over. They seemed to be talking. Well, I thought, at least I'm not alone anymore. Suddenly I see them gesture for me to come over. I float towards them.
"We have questions," Foxy states. "First, who are you? What are you doing here?"
I sigh, then tell them my story; how my brother bullies me, how I was scared of the animatronics, how my brother went one step too far, how I became this form.
They were in silence by the end.
"What happened to us?" Bonnie asked.
"A guy in a purple suit dressed up as Fredbear to lure you backstage. I think he is a child murderer, because he killed you. I didn't like seeing you in that much pain, so I transferred your souls into the animatronics. Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy." I say, pointing to them each in turn.
"What would have happened if you hadn't transferred our souls? Freddy asked.
"You would have been in horrible pain forever." I said simply. They went silent.
"What do we do now? Chica broke the silence.
"I suggest that you act like the animatronics. The show that they perform every day should be in your memory banks." They nod once. "In the day, do your show. In the night, you can hang out, explore and talk." I suggest.
"Look," I say. "I can't give you back the things you had, but you don't have to do this on your own, just remember, you're not alone."
I floated away after that speech, leaving them to ponder.
