(Silver P.O.V)
Of all people this could've happened to, the universe had to pick me. Well, I could've left the man, Vincent was it, to go with my family. But I already know how that would've turned out... I would've ended up in the same place, but maybe that time people would have more stable opinions on me. I wouldn't be crying in a corner if I went in that direction.
But of course I didn't go in that direction, I picked this one. The one were everyone now hated me and I was stuck crying in a corner. My day just couldn't get any worse than it already was...
Just then I heard the creeks of the smaller cellar door, and I tried to cease my sobs. But a few sniffs managed to escape the grasp I had on my mouth. I had no idea who was walking down the steps, but they closed the door behind them, obviously knowing I was down here. I saw a dim lantern being carried by the figure descending down the stairs, ruled out any animatronics...
I just pulled my hood up and leaned against the wall, with my feet in the corner. Even if they saw me I wasn't going to say anything, I just wanted to be away from everyone right now.
I noticed that small footsteps were rapidly approaching me, and then they stopped a few inches away. I could see the light shining on me, but I didn't even move. I heard small breaths going in and out of the figures mouth,
"A-Are you o-ok?"
A confused look was painted onto my face, and I slowly looked to the left.
After I saw him I gave a long relieved sigh.
It was only Balloon Boy, thank the lord.
"Are you ok?" He asked more stable this time, walking closer to me.
"I'm fine," He flinched when I talked, "Just a little upset."
"No offense, but I think a-a little is an understatement," BB suggested.
I huffed,
"I know," I sighed, "It's just, I'm worried. My brother hates me right now and so does the closest man to a father-figure I'd ever had."
"As soon as you ran off, everyone started looking for you. Your brother was looking a bit upset..." BB explained. "But apparently I was the only one who paid attention to where you went." He shrugged, "Because apparently I'm the first one to find you."
"Lucky you..." I huffed.
He walked up right next to me and tugged my hood off.
"I know what happened. You're not the only one who's been tricked by him before..." BB sighed. I wiped my tears with my sleeve.
"You have?" I asked.
"Sadly," He huffed. "I was a bit younger, and he told me to go get something for him in the basement. I did so, but he locked me in there for no reason once so ever," BB seemed to growl, "He's bad. I don't know anyone who would be friends with him."
"Doubt he has any," I scoffed.
BB laughed, making fun of your enemies was fun once in awhile. He slowly came up to me, looked down, and did the same thing he did when I was sitting on my bed back at the house.
I laughed, quickly changed positions so my back was leaning against the corner. I lifted him up and set him in my lap. And I hadn't moved for a few minutes, that was until someone began to descend down the cellar stairs, with another lantern in hand.
BB was in my lap, leaned up against me.
I wasn't going to move, I wasn't going to talk.
For the sake of the child.
