Some Things Are Better Left Buried

Chapter 15: Save Them
"Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria! The place were fun and fantasy come to life!"
Kyle was bewildered to find herself standing at the entrance of the pizzeria. The last thing she remembered was coming home and then Mike collapsing on her couch soon as she'd gotten it ready for him. She looked around in confusion, something felt off…Everywhere she looked was like looking at an old photo. Everything looked faded, the objects, people, but mostly the colors. Kyle felt that if she reached out and touched a wall her hand would go right through it. Looking around more Kyle realized she was in a different Freddy's, it was similar but definitely different from hers.
"Hello kids!" Kyle turned her head and saw Freddy on stage waving to the crowd, his warm jovial voice rebounding all way to where she stood. Looking around Kyle noted she was in the main party room. Before her were four long rows of muted colored tables, like they were covered in a fine layer of dust. On stage Freddy's two friends were coming to life, heads raising and looking far more vibrant than the dull room around them. It was jarring how they genuinely friendly they looked at the moment, like the monsters she'd faced just moments before were a completely different set of animatronics.
"I'm so glad you all could come today! Me and my friends just love singing to you all and making sure you have a super special day!" Freddy announced as he motioned to the entirety of the people present. The bear laughed warmly, blinking in a slow mechanical manner, as his ears wiggled happily, "Are you ready to party?"
There was an uproar of children cheering, but it sounded muffled and distant, ghostly even. Kyle was left with brows furrowed as she looked around, everyone's faces seemed blurred as if someone had tried to wipe them off. The animatronics of course didn't notice this. Bonnie's voice range clearly as the animatronic swiped his purple paw dramatically in front of his guitar, pretending to strum, "You heard'em Freddy! Let's rock!"
The band of three began playing their song but Kyle felt compelled to wander the pizzeria and headed towards the other party rooms. As she did she noted Balloon Boy was not present at the prize corner. All alone sat the Puppet's big box. There was no Mangle in the little kids play area either, which unlike her pizzeria was part of the main party room. As she wandered away, her feet seeming to guide her, the party dulled to a low continuous hum. The other rooms in the pizzeria were barren, no kids, no parents, no staff, not even a stray teenager stuck babysitting. This was barely registered to Kyle and she continued on.
Down at the end of the hall she saw a child, around five or six, with long bond pigtails. Coming closer Kyle stalled when she saw what the child was looking at. It looked like Bonnie, but the bunny was such a deep purple she almost mistook it for black. The area the Bonnie stood in was darker, there were no lights on around it. A couple feet behind it and in front of it the lighting was normal, only the dark Bonnie was cloaked in darkness. Instead of reddish pink eyes the dark animatronic had those soulless dark holes with pinpricks of light for pupils. In stark contrast, a bright orchid purple bowtie sat on the creature's chest.
"Follow me." The shadowy animatronic held it's hand out to the child.
Kyle felt a sudden sense of urgency as the little girl took the bunny's hand. She couldn't let the child go with that thing! Kyle started running yet she couldn't seem to get any closer. The Bonnie-look-alike took the child's hand and began walking away. Around it the lights would shut off and upon moving away the others behind it would turn back on. Off and on, off and on, the lights changed with loud buzzes.
The Fazbear guard halted when the bunny suddenly looked back to her over its shoulder. A chill when up her spine when she saw the mask's mouth warp into a twisted grin with crooked human teeth. The shadow animatronic mockingly waved its free hand over its shoulder at her. Strangely Kyle noted it had five fingers…didn't the animatronic's have four?
The bunny and child began to quickly fad into the distance, heading to a singular door at the end of the hall. Kyle wanted to scream out to the child but her voice seemed to have been lost. She called out but no words left her mouth. After what seemed like an eternity the two entered the room, the door shutting with a deafening finality. The hall in front of the door began flickering wildly, the light dying. Once the light died the other hall lights began shutting off in rapid succession. Startled by this Kyle tried backing away from the advancing darkness but it quickly caught up to her. Just as she was enshrouded by darkness all the forward motion she'd been attempting was suddenly released. Forward she was sent tumbling through complete darkness.
Kyle's voice returned to her in the form of a startled scream as she collided and stumbled through a metal door. She groaned and Kyle pulled herself up from a hard concrete floor. Where was she now? It looked like a storage room of some sort. Old arcade cabinets with "broken" and "out of order" signs were lined against a wall. A couple even looked familiar. There were crates against another wall. Then Kyle spotted something that made her stomach tie itself into sickened knots.
Starting from the center of the room was a trail of blood, leading up to a blood stained, limp, animatronic suit. Normally Kyle would have been confused by the sight of a yellow Freddy Fazbear, but the blood seeping from its torso was far more concerning. Kyle pulled herself up to her feet for the sole reason of slowly backing away. She looked around the room, dull and muted like the rest of the building. There was no shadowy Bonnie present but it was obvious that this was its doing.
"H-help…. help…" Face pale as her surroundings Kyle felt fear ride up inside her. The suit was slowly, painfully, craning its head up to her. The eyes were empty sockets with thin, tear-like, trails of raid seeping out. Blood dripped out from its large mouth as it choked words out that stabbed at Kyle like a knife, "It hurts…"
Kyle backed away as the morbid creature shambled its way towards her, arm reaching out to grab hold. Kyle seemingly lost her words again, horror had stolen them away. The creature shook as it slogged its way forward, like it was barely able to stand. Kyle felt sickened as the sound of flesh being torn occurred with each step the creature took. More blood seeped out of the suit's torso, face, and legs. It was like staring at a walking horror show.
The blood stained ursine tried to speak again but all that came out was garbled, bloodied, chokes. Its hand reached out farther forward, Kyle watched as the suit degraded before her eyes. The covering became worn at the edges, small holes dotted the suit, and the false fur lost its shiny appearance leaving it dingy. As Kyle backed into the heavy door behind her the suit ear gave an audible crack and went slack. Slowly the wires tore apart and it fell to the floor. The sickening sight of what was now virtually a rotting corpse caused Kyle to shake her head, silently begging the thing to not get any nearer.
"R-run…Leave-Stay away!" The creatures voice suddenly became much clearer, so much so that it was startling. Kyle was more than happy to comply with the being's demand and turned herself around to push open the door. As she moved to open it the door flung itself open sending Kyle face first onto the floor outside the back room.
Scrambling to her feet Kyle ran away from the bleeding monster. Looking over her shoulder Kyle was surprised to see the room was longer there. The occurrence got her to stop and stare at the poster covered wall, side by side were posters of Freddy, Foxy, Bonnie, and Chica each reading a simple phrase such as "Let's Party!". Kyle blinked and looked forward, much to her continued bewilderment she was in the main party room. Any relief gained from being separated from the golden suit was immediately eradicated when she saw who was waiting for her. Lined in front of her was four mascot animatronics, all of them staring right at her. Plastic eyes replaced by the empty dark holes, not even a pinprick of light were present.
For a moment Kyle almost thought the animatronics weren't going to do anything aside from stare. Then she heard a faint dripping noise. Looking down she saw drops of red splatting onto the checkered floor. At first it was one or two at a time but then more steadily blood dripped down onto the ground, creating small pools. From each of their hanging mouths the quartet were dripping blood. From their torsos blood seeped out like it had from the Golden Freddy suit in the back room.
Then, they spoke in a chorus of tortured choked cries. The voices all came at once; Kyle couldn't tell who was saying what. It was like one voice was saying multiple things at the same time.
"Why? It-It hurts…so much. What did I do? He lied to me…It hurts! Everything hurts! Why…why did he…I just wanted to see Fredbear…HE KILLED MY SISTER! Brother where are you...? I'm scared. It hurts. Why isn't anyone helping us? Why? Why won't they stop him!? I want my Mom and Dad…Why aren't they listening!? I want to go home! I can't stand it…the pain. Why…Help us. Stop him. Help us. So much pain. SAVE US!"
They were moving towards her now. Slow and shambling like the living dead, even Foxy was moving sluggishly. With each joint movement, each shake, blood oozed and dripped out of them. Kyle covered her mouth, afraid to make a noise in their presence. Slowly she moved away, keeping out of their reach. Kyle jumped back as Freddy made a mad swipe for her, that was more than enough to get the guard to pick up the pace. Kyle turn and ran towards the building's exit. She'd only made it a few feet away when something grabbed at her ankle making her trip and fall.
Kyle was only stunned for a moment when desperation to get away from the shambling monsters kicked back in. She kicked her leg and tried to pull away. A familiar radio-like cry got her to look at what was holding her leg hostage. It was Mangle, or some amalgamation of parts stuck together with the fox's two heads stuck on. The toddler play toy animatronic was just like the others, empty soulless eyes, and blood driveling out of its two mouth like some twisted version of salivation.
"Why…? Why…? Why did he do this to me? The knife hurt so much…" The twisted animatronic choked out as it dragged itself forward with one blood stained white paw.
"I want to go home…" Wept another voice. After shaking her leg free from Mangle's grip Kyle quickly backed away and spotted the source of the other voice. It was Balloon Boy, and the twisted appearance it shared with the others looked far creepier on it. The more human appearance of the animatronic made her think of real bleeding child. The permanent grin it bore was off putting as drops of blood seeped from its hollowed out eyes.
Kyle grabbed her face and let out a startled cry as an image of Golden Freddy flashed before her face. Her head hurt like something was pounding on her temples.
"They were made examples of." Kyle whirled around and before her stood Puppet. The smiling animatronic seemed to be scowling down at her. The purple painted tear streaks were stained crimson with the blood coming from its eyes. Unlike the others the dried blood stained the top part of its mask. The mask itself was cracked and broken inward towards the top, like something had punched it in.
Kyle flinched in pain as a vision of the golden animatronic flashed before her again. This time with a weak, "Leave…" and a whining ringing in her ears.
"No one listened. For so long we suffered." The marionette animatronic's voice seem so forlorn, but quickly turned hostile, glaring at Kyle with hatred, "Now, you'll die like the rest…"
Kyle wasted no time in bolting away from the animatronic ringleader, even going as far as pushing the thin bot aside. Puppet was unfazed by this as the animatronics moved in on the guard. Kyle couldn't see it but she could hear the creatures were moving in faster than had been prior. Once again the pain assaulted her, her head feeling like a blister was forming inside her mind as the golden bear's face appeared in her vision.
"Don't, don't come back. Stay away. Please…"
"You can't."
Kyle stopped dead in her tracks. The entrance was gone, in a flash it had been replaced by darkness and before Kyle was a more twisted version of the shadow Bonnie. Half of its left ear was missing and the top section of its right ear's metal was 's mouth covering was worn away leaving a gleeful grin of sharp teeth. Edge of its eyes was worn and cracked as it stared down at Kyle. There was a cracking noise as its fingers twitched uncontrollably before huge, metal talons erupted out from the fingers. Kyle only got a moment to stare in horror before the nightmare animatronic shoved all ten claws into her abdomen.
Pain exploded from her stomach as the claws tore through muscle, organs, and bone. Her blood coated the creatures claws as it sprayed out. The creature pulled her in, looming its head over her. It wanted to watch her die on its claws with that big and sharp-toothed grin in her view. It's pitch black mouth opened wider to display a sneering grin of human teeth inside.
Kyle gagged as the monster slowly pulled one of its huge sets of claws out of her shredded abdomen. The nightmarish bunny raised its bloodied claw and splayed the fingers out, sending droplets of blood down onto Kyle, poised to strike again. She could only watch in absolute horror as the creature gave a deep throaty laugh at her imminent demise. Things began going hazy as the claws came down and skewered themselves into her neck. Blood streamed out the back of the wounds…seeped out the sides of her mouth…its eyes burned into hers as everything start to go black-
"Hey, wake up!"
Kyle's eyes flew open and she found herself in her room. She shook her head the fear she'd felt in that nightmare readily fading away. The brunette woman looked around for who'd woken her up, the voice had seemed familiar. Instead of Jessica she saw Mike standing at her bedside with a look of vague concern. For a moment she stared at him, wondering why the man was in her home. With a blink she quickly recalled that she'd allowed him to stay over after his panic attack at Freddy's.
She sighed gratefully and rubbed her hands on her forehead, rubbing off the thin layer of cold sweat. Mike said nothing and waited for his coworker to recover. Kyle pulled herself up to a sitting position and tossed off her comfy dark metallic grey comforter. Dressed in dark blue night shorts and short sleeved shirt, Kyle sat with her elbows on her knees as she looked up at Mike, "Where's Jessica at?"
"Went out." Mike answered, nodding his head towards the front door. He crossed his arms laxly across his chest as he continued, "Said she needed to restock on groceries. Meeting up with family…" The man held and awkward pause for a short moment, "and a bunch of art stuff that I can't even remember all of it."
Kyle gave a short laugh as her nerves regathered, "Yeah, that's Jess." She shook her head, "Day off and she can't sit still."
Author's Note: Well, shadow Bonnie and nightmare animatronics made it in after all! Well shadow spring Bonnie to be exact and a nightmarish version of it anyway. Still, two for one on things I said I wouldn't add...technically. And more talking animatronics, I find loops in my self set rules when I please thank yah. lol. Side fact I was listening to a song called "Curtain Call" by State of Mine. Really helped inspire this chapter. Finally more violence too!
Ha, anyway there's only one more chapter after this before night 6. Then the long awaited bastard will arrive. This chapter here only has one more part in itself. And unfortunately I haven't gotten any writing done. So I'm going to put this on a slight hold till I get at least thirty pages built up. You guys will get the second half of this chapter in a week's time so don't worry. But regular updates will recommence once I get a stockpile built up again. Also I have a scene from this drawn on my DeviantArt account for those interested, but again it's still a spoiler danger zone.
Hope you enjoyed!
