Rosie's P.O.V.

I shot up in my bed, panting in a cold sweat. Tears were streaked on my cheeks and I felt the sweat rolls down my back. I quietly got out of bed and padded over to the bathroom to splash some cold water on my face to get me to my senses.

I closed the bathroom door behind me and flipped on the light, but choked on a scream when I saw Vincent, the nightmare version of him, sitting on the counter, smirking at me.

"You're not going to be left alone until you really discover the truth." he said, winking at me.

"Screw you, dickbag." I snarled, turning away from him to ignore him.

He smirked even more as he handed me a small object in my peripheral vision. I looked over to it and saw that it was a small Golden Freddy plush, but he had a purple hat and bow tie.

I turned to look over to Vincent, but saw that was gone.

"I can use this to talk to you." I heard a distinct voice say inside my head.

I gasped in horror to see that the voice was coming from the plush.

"How?" I asked.

"I'm possessing it, and I can use it to talk to you. It would seem pretty strange for someone to see me right now, wouldn't it?" Vincent's voice said, making me shudder.

I punched the mirror, cracking it.

"I'm done with this. Can't take it anymore, I need to put you to bed and set your stupid ass face on fire." I growled, hissing at the blood trickling down my hands.

I heard his sick voice chuckle and say, "I'm not going anywhere until you finish my little game. When you finish it, you'll be free from me. You'll never see or hear from me ever again."

Tears pricked the corners of my eyes as I rinsed my hands off and said, "I should have never trusted you. I hate you. I hope you'll burn in hell when you get there."

I left the bathroom and yelped when I felt two hands grab my hips. But I relaxed when I saw it was Gold.

"Hey, what's going on? I heard you talking and the mirror smash. And what on Earth happened to your hands?" he asked, holding me close and caressing my hair.

I quietly wept, wanting so badly to tell him what was wrong. But Vincent would kill me if I did.

"N-nothing. Just nightmares again." I whimpered.

He took me back into the bathroom and turned on the light, shutting and locking the door behind us.

Gold sighed and said, "Rosie, I thought you weren't having nightmares any-"

He stopped in mid-sentence when he saw the Golden Freddy plush on the countertop. His eyes widened with shock and horror as he picked it up as if it was going to viciously bite him.

"Where the hell did you get this!?" he demanded.

Heart quickened as I desperately searched for something to say. Finally, I said, "I-I found it online. I thought it looked cute."

His eyes narrowed in anger as he pinned me against the counter, his breath hot on my face. I had never seen him this angry.

"You get rid of it. Now. I don't EVER want to see it again. And don't you dare let me catch you with it again." he hissed, tightly gripping my wrist.

I gulped and turned my face away from him, trying to get away from the rage in his eyes.

"What's wrong with it? I didn't think-"

"Just get rid of it. Somethings just need to stay in the past, forgotten. Don't ask about it again." he growled, tilting my face back to his.

He placed the plushie in my hand, dragged me out of the bathroom and to the fire pit outside, where he lit the fire and said, "Toss it in. Right here, in front of me."

I did as he said, throwing the plushie into the flaming pit, where it burnt and barred until it was nothing but ash. Gold killed the fire, a look of intense fear and rage in his eyes. He came closer to me and said, "It was for the best, Rose."

He held me in his arms, against his chest. He slowly and softly kissed my lips, then my cheek, my ear, down the side of my neck and finally my collarbone. His lips came back up to my ear as he softly whispered, "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. But trust me, it's better this way."

I nodded, but thought to myself. Why would he get so worked up over the plushie that the demon Vincent gave me? And why did it look different from the normal Golden Freddy?

Gold continued kissed me and whispering silent apologies to me, but I felt safer. I felt more protected with him.

We went back inside and I started to head back to my room, but Golden Freddy stopped me. He grabbed my wrist and said, "Stay with me tonight. Please?"

I gave him a small smile and nodded, earning smile back from him. We went into his room, where we curled up under the covers. I faced away from him, with his arms wrapped around me, him gently breathing on and occasionally kissing the back of my neck.

"I love you, you know that?" he asked, nuzzling his nose into my hair,

"Yep. I love you too." I replied, placing my hands on his.

I felt his lips curl into a smile as he said, "No nightmares are gonna get you while I'm here. I promise."

I drifted off, feeling much safer in Golden Freddy's arms. But the thoughts of nightmares still made me uneasy.
