This is the first short story sets in the CNCM, I came up with the idea that the Watcher from "What If...?" to be in this story and it'll be a horror story. This story is the prequel to the Journey of Billy and Mandy, one of my upcoming projects, making thischronologically the first part of the CNCM's Billy and Mandy storyline. This story is dedicated to Fred Willard.
I hope you all will enjoy it.
It is night-time in a town of Endsville, an astral being in the sky observing the multiverse.
"I am the Watcher, your guide through the vast realities of time. And today, we tell the story about a boy in this new universe whose life will soon be changed forever." The Watcher said, narrating the beginning of the story. "This is the story about a boy named Billy."
A nine-year-old Billy walks down the street to his home. He remembers everything like the time when he opened Grim's trunk hoping to free "Moe and Joe"; a curse Grim had put on the trunk as a failsafe measure had caused Billy to begin sprouting chicken feathers, which he had been leaving a trail of so he would not get lost. Everyone is infuriated at Billy, and Mandy beats him up.
Billy arrived to his house and opened the door. He took a deep breath and enters the house.
"Hey, I'm home. Sorry I'm late." Billy shouted before looking around. "Dad?"
Billy looks around the living room and sees tv on, showing a horror movie. Just then, Harold appeared behind him to scare him by wearing a hockey mask. Harold laughs at the joke after removing the mask.
"It's okay, son, it's me! Just joking with you. So, your mother's at the hospital for the weekend, so it's you and me for the night, bud." Harold said, smiling. " Look, pizza's on the way, ice cream's in the freezer, oh and Billy, look at this, I found some three scary movies on Netflix we can watch. Three."
"Oh, cool. Which movies we can watch first?" Billy asked, impressively.
"I'll let you pick. Come on, grab a seat." Harold said.
"Oh, um, about that, I wasn't feel very well, I'm just tired." Billy said.
"Are you okay, son?" Harold asked, concerned.
"Oh, yeah, I'm good. Just need some rest." Billy said.
"Okay. Copy that, bud." Harold said, smiling.
Arriving to his bedroom, Billy takes a deep breath as he sensed something coming. He turns around and sees that nothing's there. He walks to the window and sit down. He put on his Bluetooth earbuds to play a music on his phone to calm his anxiety. When he looks at the photo of him, Mandy and Grim on the nearby bed stand, since this week, he was literally too stupid to absorb Mandy's hatred and abuse of stupid people, and now he was able absorb it. He keeps remembering the abuse as he opened his eyes for a bit and walks to bed, lay down and catch a breath.
Billy wakes up a few minutes early and hear a noise coming from the kitchen. He walks downstairs to follow it. He walked into the kitchen and sees someone besides his father. He asks "Dad?"
He sees a tall, Disney-Pixar styled man. He has brown hair, and has eyebrows slanted towards his noticeably reddish nose. Mr. Peterson also has a curly waxed mustache, and green eyes. Mr. Peterson's chin has a swirl on it.
He is wearing a yellow shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a collar. The shirt is partially opened, revealing some of Mr. Peterson's chest hair. On top of the shirt is a blue and light blue sleeveless sweater vest with a diamond pattern. He is also wearing black, long rubber gardening gloves.
He is wearing red/orange striped pants. There are no buttons, zippers, or laces on said pants. He is also wearing black shoes with white caps and shoelaces. Billy was shocked what he saw. He run upstairs and see if the man's here. He continue to run as the man walk slowly up the stairs.
Billy hides in the closet in fear. The man tried to find him but he disappeared. Billy was relief. Just then, he hears a voice.
"You'll never escape!" said the Voice. Billy turns around and sees a Furby-like toy with tall ears, a muzzle, and no arms. She has a small, white tuft of hair and brown fur. "Mama's coming."
She opened her eyes, revealing glowing red LEDs.
Billy ran out of the closet and shut the door behind him so she won't attack him. He ran into the living room and see the TV going static. He sees something coming out, a malformed, skeletal figure with his skin covered in black ink resembling tar. His head highly resembles that of the original Bendy, but the top area of his head appears melted while obscuring his eyes. His horns are slightly more curved and pointed in appearance, and they appear to move sideways similar to animalistic ears. His toothy cheshire grin, with sketch-like shadings, shakes constantly. As seen from the side view of his head, the front and back of his head are fairly flat. His spine appears slightly crooked or curved, referencing the spinal condition scoliosis. His slightly hunched back also sports spiky-looking spines for demonic features.
Billy was shocked what he sees. He ran away from it. He accidentally kicked a Tattletail which transported him to Endsville High. Billy was shocked that he's in a high school at night. He runs at night and sees a tall, slender humanoid with long arms, pale skin, huge black eyes, and red lips. He has a big smile on his face. He wears a long-sleeved green shirt, blue pants, and light brown shoes.
"Oh hi! Welcome to my schoolhouse!" Baldi greets Billy.
"Schoolhouse?! This is a high school? What's happening to me?" Billy asked in scared.
"You'll soon to be dead. Now all you need to do is... GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!" Baldi yelled while start chasing Billy.
Billy runs away from Baldi and chase him until Billy sees him disappeared. He continue to walk and sees a shadow of a bear, but not just any bear, It's Freddy Fazbear! He seems completely damaged and more vicious looking. He has two sets of sharp teeth and his fingers end with sharp claws. Three small Freddles with sharp teeth are on Nightmare Freddy's chest. He wears a black top hat with visible wires coming out of it and a black bow tie.
Billy's been pushed by a human child who wears a striped pink/purple and blue shirt, blue pants, and brown shoes. They have medium-length straight brown hair, short bangs, and a blank expression. The child looked at him while a skeleton appeared. a short skeleton with a dimpled smile, large eye sockets, and perfectly aligned teeth. He wears an unzipped blue hoodie, a white t-shirt/sweater, black shorts with white stripes, and a pair of sneakers/slippers. The child holds up a knife and prepare for battle. Billy start running as the skeleton start fighting against Freddy.
Billy continue to run to find the way out of his nightmare ran to a classroom. He sees a girl. She has long coral brown hair that she keeps in a ponytail tied back with a large white bow. She also has bangs and two long strands of hair next to her face. Her eyes are emerald green; Act 3 shows tiny dots in what is supposed to be her colored pupils already surrounding the iris. She turns around to Lorcan and smiles.
"Hello, and welcome to Literature Club. I'm sorry for getting angry earlier. We all have a little devil inside of us. Have you ever wonder what it feels like to die? I think..." The girl said while taking a deep breath. "I think it's when a person you love the most, doesn't see you. It feels empty, and it grows and grows and grows. I can't live here anymore. This is my final Goodbye to you. Maybe, I'll go to your world. But don't worry, I'll love you forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever..."
Just then, Billy wakes up in his bedroom. He manage to calm down after his nightmare. He realizes that it's time for him to be mature for once. He walks downstairs into the living room where he sees Harold watching a horror movie.
"Dad?" Billy asked.
Harold looks up and sees Billy.
"Hey, you okay?" Harold asked.
"I'm fine, um. Can we go get some air?" Billy asked.
"Yeah, sure, bud. Go get your jacket." Harold said, smiling.
Outside of the house, Billy and Harold walks out of the house to get some air.
"I just got so much on my mind, you know?" Billy asked.
"Yeah, I believe you, son." Harold said. "So, tell me, what's going on?"
"I've been doing a lot of thinking. And, I'll do it." Billy said.
"I'm going to end my friendship with Grim and Mandy."
The Watcher appeared in the puddle to narrate the ending of the story.
"Struggling with panic attack and anxiety, Billy managed to gain comfort of his own father. Rest now, Billy. Because this will marks the beginning that your life will soon changed forever." The Watcher said, narrating the ending.
FOR FRED
And that's the first short story of the CNCM. I thought it'll be a good idea to add characters from horror video games. I hope you all enjoyed this story, and thank you all for reading. CillianChamp, out.
