A/N: With the FNAF movie just and Ruins DLC just around the corner I though I'd give making a FNAF fanfic another shot. Here is hoping this one goes better than the attempt to remaster my old fanfic. (Yeah I lost interest in that one real quick sorry. This will be AU just by virtue of being fan made.
Disclaimer: I do not own FNAF. All rights to their respective owners. Ok, here we go.
"The quest for immortality has been a quest, long stained with the blood and trauma of the innocent. Sometimes the scariest of monsters is not that of ghosts, but of our own inner demons staring at us from the dark abyss."
-Henry Emily
Gregory stared in horror at the horrific abomination that was Burntrap as he lurched close to them. Part of him wanted to whimper, part of him wanted to sob and cry in defeat. He was so close to escaping and breaking out of this horrible nightmare, but it was all in vain. The whole place was now on fire. Greggory was trapped. If the fire didn't get him then Burntrap would. The boy, however, did not cry. He was too angry to cry. He couldn't help but think of the history of the dreaded Fazbear franchise. He couldn't help but think of all of the people that William Afton harmed. The Missing Children, Freddy…Vannesa for some odd reason that young security guard lived rent-free in his mind over the past couple of hours. Once he started playing the Princess Quest games, it didn't take him long for him to put together that Vanny was, in fact, Vanessa corrupted by Afton. What was she like? It seemed like left to her own devices she could have been a good person. She was certainly pretty.
But William ruined her life. Just like he ruined the life of so many others and that thought, that thought right there was enough to get Greggory to grit his teeth in defiance. Maybe he was going to burn with this place, but if he did, he was going to make sure that this freak of nature went down with him. Burntrap meanwhile was merely cackling at the situation.
"Just where will you go, Gregory?" Burntrap hissed. "You have nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide."
Gregory could not help but grin. "I guess it's a good thing I'm tired of running or hiding. I may be going down, but you are going down with me. "
Burntrap smiled and stepped forward but as he went to grab the young 13 year old, there was a gurgling noise, followed by the sound of shuffling. Burntrap let out a growl. "Your tricks won't help you now kid."
"Um…that wasn't me." Gregory said nonchalantly.
Burntrap let out a growl when suddenly a drop of liquid fell from the ceiling. Burntrap knelt down and brushed the liquid drops. In the light of the orange flames, it was hard to tell whether the liquid was black like oil…or red like blood. However, any questions he had about what the liquid actually was were silenced once he looked up. Staring directly at him, was a mechanical abomination that engulfed the entire ceiling. Neither Burntrap nor Gregory could quite comprehend what they were looking at. It was a mangled twist of wires, scraps and other animatronics. It writhed and spasm like a mass of giant worms, twitching, writhing growling and moaning. For the first time in ages William Afton felt something he had not experienced in a long time. He felt true fear. With a loud screech the writhing mass of animatronics wrapped itself around Burntrap's neck.
"GAK! Help…Me!"
With a screech Burntrap was pulled into the ceiling. The monster would not go down with a bang but with a whimper and all Gregory could do was watch. For a single split second, Gregory felt safe, until the creature looked down at him and showed it's teeth. Before Gregory had a chance to scream, He was suddenly pulled back. The Door shut with a loud clank. Gregory looked up to see Freddy staring at him.
"Gregory, we need to move. The whole place is going to go down."
Before Gregory had the chance to say anything, Freddy had already swept him up from the ground and began bolting for the exit. It was at that moment Gregory remembered…"Freddy, Freddy wait, Vannesa…She's being controlled….we can't leave her!"
Despite his protest, however, it was all too late. As Freddy barged out the exit doors the whole Megaplex began to collapse into rubble. Gregory looked at the whole scene in horror…yes he had managed to escape…but he couldn't help but think of the animatronics like Roxxie and Chica…they weren't evil…they were corrupted by Burntrap…just like he had corrupted Vanessa…but now they would never have that chance. That would be taken away from them…and it was all his fault
Gregory looked up at Freddy, tears forming in his eyes.
"Gregory, what's wrong? Why are you sad?"
Gregory held tightly onto Freddy as he began to weep loudly "I could have saved them! I could have saved them."
