Yet another short chapter, but I think I make up for it for the action here. Anyway, here's Robby's first night...all alone with the bots. But...will he, like his mother before him, have help? Or will he be flying solo on the first of the five nights?
Chapter 6
Robby had moved all his stuff into his mother's old room. Since Andrew had left, there was no one to stop him from doing so. It was late and being in a big house all by himself was kinda creepy…so he put in his headphones and turned up his favorite playlist.
He was nearly asleep when…
BANG!
Robby took out his headphones as he looked around.
"Hello?" he asked, "Someone out there?"
There was silence and he shrugged, putting his headphones back in. This place was creepy enough…the animatronics were enough to prove it. Suddenly, there was a loud BANG coming from outside his door. The boy poked his head out, golden eyes slightly afraid before he shook his head and settled back inside.
"Don't freak out," he told himself, "It's nothing…"
There was another bang and Robby jumped right as a ghostly voice sang through the area.
"London…bridge is…falling down…"
Robby's heart nearly stopped as the staticky, glitchy, female voice tried to sing.
"Falling down…falling down…" the voice continued, "London…bridge is…falling down…"
BANG!
Robby fell out of his chair, the flashlight clattering from his grip as his heart rate shot through the roof.
"My…Fair…Lady…" the voice sobbed, "H-H-Hel-Help m-m-m-me…Please!"
Farther down the hallway, the boy's namesake was trying to stay as hidden as he could. Marionette had already gotten the others…but the fox had slipped through its slender fingers once again. Fortunately, it seemed that the corrupt creature was going to leave him alone. Robby had seen Andrew leave, but something told him that the house was far from empty. The spirit cautiously poked his head around the corner…just to get a flashlight shone in his eyes.
Robby hissed involuntarily and dodged back behind the corner as the wielder of the flashlight gave a yelp and slammed the door shut. The spirit rubbed his stinging eyes until the static started to die down…but dread settled into the depths of his soul.
There was someone else here…and the others knew.
Robby was their only hope…but even with his really keen hearing…he didn't hear the three Stooges sneaking into the boy's room.
Little Robby dodged back into the room after seeing the golden gleam at the end of the hall. This was not good. All he wanted was to get some sleep! He didn't want any of this…
His flashlight flickered dimly and Robby froze, shaking the flashlight and banging it against his palm…right as he heard little pitter patters across the wooden floor.
"What is it?" a soft, child-like voice asked, full of static.
Robby whirled around and shone the dying flashlight on the bed…where three little, sharp-toothed bears sat on it.
"Can we eats it?" a second one asked.
The third turned a pitch black gaze towards the boy, Robby dimly noticed that there was a bandage on it's head.
"We can tries!" it growled, hopping off the bed and toddling towards the boy.
"Uh…n-no!" Robby babbled, backing away as the little bear advanced, "Yo-You don't want to 'eats it' it p-p-probably doesn't taste good! An-An-And I-I-I think it just ran down the hallway…but you probably don't want to…"
"HUNGRY!" the little minion shrieked and lunged at Robby.
The boy fell to the ground, holding the bear away from his face, as the fangs snapped shut, trying to bite him.
"ACK! Get off!" Robby shrieked, struggling, "Get…OFF!"
He kicked the little minion off of him and sent him flying into his brothers…
SQUEAK!
Robby blinked as the brother of the one he'd thrown rubbed it's nose, eyes brightening from inky black to pure electric blue. The little bear giggled and poked his brother's nose, making his black eyes fade to blue as it squeaked. The little bear then poked the third's nose, making it squeak and his eyes turn back to blue…and then the threesome started poking each other's noses just for the fun of it.
The boy scooted back on his rear, trying to get so he could stand…when he hit something hard…yet soft.
Robby froze, his hands going back behind him and hitting soft fur as he patted it. The boy slowly looked up…only to give a squeak of fear as two coal black eyes with tiny white pinpricks stared down at him with cold fury. The much bigger bear reached down and grabbed Robby by the shirt, lifting him high into the air.
"Daddy?" one of the minions squeaked, "Why are you picking up that human?"
"We're not supposed to hurt humans…are we?" another asked.
"Daddy! What are you doing!?"
Freddy didn't pay one bit of attention to the little Stooges. He gave a low, rumbling growl as Robby struggled to get free, tears streaming down the boy's face.
"So-sOm-Someone is b-br-brea-I'm sorry!-breaking the r-ru-please forgive me!-rules," Freddy snarled…
Right as Robby's fist swung out and smashed into the bear's nose.
SQUEAK!
"Ow!" Matt whined, dropping Robby and the boy shot into the closet as Matt rubbed his nose, "Agh…wait…wha-what happened? Why am I here?"
"DADDY!" the three Stooges squealed, racing towards the bigger bear and leaping into his arms.
"Larry, Curly, Mo…" Matt started, holding the cubs, "Come on…let's get out of here…"
Robby didn't want to move as the bear left with his little Fredlets…but something told him to get a move on.
He had just climbed out of the closet when something grabbed his shoulder and dragged him, shrieking the remaining distance out of the painted door. Robby was thrown to the floor and he looked up, his heart hammering in his chest as his nightmares seemed to have come to life. It was her.
"Ashes…ashes…we all fall down…" the golden bear sang in sing-song, the pale white lights gleaming brightly as she looked down at Robby expectantly before giggling like a little school-girl, an achingly familiar laugh that he knew he had heard before, "Now's the bit where you're running?"
Robby nearly tripped as he scrambled to get out of the room, running as fast as he could as Gold gave a laugh and disappeared in shadows, her warm, dark gold voice singing through the air.
"Lon…don bridge…is falling down…"
Robby made it to the front doors, banging on them, trying to get out.
"LET ME OUT!" Robby shrieked, pounding on the doors, "SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! HELP ME!"
"O'er winds and…waters…may you cross…"
Robby froze, his blood running cold.
"M-Mama?" he whispered right as a heavy golden paw grabbed his shoulder and whipped him around, forcing him to stare into the white pinpricks.
"You should have kept running…" Gold chuckled, "But the game's up, little endo…time to get back into your suit…"
Suddenly, something slammed into Gold, knocking her to the ground and making her release Robby.
"Nice try," the newcomer growled, "But he's coming with me,"
Robby stared at the terrifying looking fox animatronic that turned it's golden gaze on him.
"Come," he ordered, grabbing Robby's wrist with surprising gentleness…maybe so that he didn't scratch him with the cruel talons.
A shadow rammed into the fox, catching it's attention.
"My point, Foxy!" Gold snarled, "I caught it!"
"It's not an endo, Gold, he's human," the fox replied.
"WHAT IS IT WITH YOU TWO!?" the bear shrieked, "I KNOW WHAT HUMANS LOOK LIKE! NO ONE BETTER! IT'S AN ENDOSKELETON!"
"Listen to her, Gold, she's right," the fox ordered before turning it's head slightly towards Robby, "When I tell you to, run. Get back to Mike's bedroom, ok?"
"Gold…please listen to the boy," a new voice pleaded and both animatronics' heads snapped towards a golden rabbit that was even more beat up than the fox.
"…Spring?" Gold asked, blinking.
"RUN!" the fox ordered, shoving Robby towards the bedroom.
Robby ran towards the doors right as a heavy paw grabbed his shoulder.
"NO!" Robby shrieked, whirling around and flashing the flashlight into his attacker's eyes.
Gold shrieked and roughly shook the boy…
Right as the bells rang and the golden bear cried out, releasing Robby and giving an ear-piercing shriek as she fell to her knees, twitching. The white pupils flickered, turning gold as shadows started wrapping around it.
"R-Robby?" a female voice breathed as the shadows melted away…and the bear was gone.
So, I'm guessing that Nightmare is supposed to be an homage to Goldie in the first game? Because all you get is a closeup of Nightmare's face? Although, I like Mark's reaction. I wasn't expecting Nightmare to be right in the door whenever the light was turned on the hall. Anyway, Robby survived! And it looks like someone recognized him... :)
I hope you guys liked it, if you did send in the reviews! (Along with ideas because I will need them eventually!) :)
