" and that's when he smiled. . . I couldn't handle it, so I slammed the door shut. I got to work, I couldn't let the tears flow just yet. Grabbing the box cutter I had kept in my back pocket, I slit my wrist and let whatever blood that was in my body flow out of the wound. Once the blood reached my fingers I started to draw the insignia on the steel door, the seal itself wasn't difficult but the thought of Henry's soul being trapped in an eternal hell with that monster caused me to be hesitant about finishing it. I could practically hear Henry telling me to finish it in the back of my mind, encouraging me and telling me that it's alright. I used my clean hand to wipe the wetness from my eyes, I didn't want to accept the fact that I was tearing up. I finished the seal, the only exit for either of the men, if I could even call my father a man, was blocked. Their souls now trapped behind the door, the seal was meant for demons but due to the fact it was so strong regular human souls could be trapped inside it. My hands shook, we finally did it, after all these terrible years we finally did it. The monster behind all those tragedies wouldn't be able to continue his rampage any longer, we had won. I felt my knees buckle, the shock from finally finishing that bastard off, and the lack of blood had caused me to collapse. I dragged myself out of the corridor and into the main dining room area, I pulled myself up onto the bench and leaned my back against the table. The flames had grown bigger, my exit was blocked, or should I say, have been blocked since the beginning of my shift. It was rather. . . peaceful, that is, until I heard the animatronics beginning to scream. It was painful to hear, all those poor souls feeling their metal flesh melt in the heat of the fire. It was terrible to listen to, I wanted to do nothing else but stop the pain of those who were forced into this situation. However, it was necessary for them, they needed to burn, there couldn't be anything left of them. That was the only way I knew how to free the souls of everyone trapped here, hopefully it would be quick. The flames danced around the room, it had already taken over the stage and the corridor I was just in, it wouldn't be much longer now. I gotta say, I wasn't expecting my story to end here that's for sure, I was fully expecting to have stayed dead when I had gotten my literal organs scooped out of me. Though, I am grateful that I did continue to live past that terrible experience. If it weren't for the remnant from the scoop or from Enard being within me keeping me alive, I wouldn't have been able to see Uncle Henry again and continue on with my job to put an end to my bastard father once and for all. /span/p

Haha. . Hahahahaha!" I couldn't help myself, all the stress in my body started to flow away, my body began to shake as the laughter racked through it. I looked at my hands, the blood from my wrist had pretty much stopped by the time I had reached the table. I lowered my sleeves, if I was going to die I would want to look a little presentable. I reached into my jacket pocket, when I felt the coarse fur of the bear I gently grasped it. I pull out the small golden bear and sit it next to me, I reach back in and pull out a small music box. I carefully placed the music box between the legs of the stuffed bear. I couldn't keep them separated after all, if it weren't for these two being with me I probably wouldn't be able to finish the job. I took a deep breath, relaxing against the table as I felt the heat from the flames grow closer, they danced around me in what I could say was a gorgeous display. It was time, it was finally time. I let my eyes close as I engulfed in flames, it was sweet, it was warm, it didn't hurt. /span/p
