Better Left Behind. (Michael Afton AU)

Just a corpse.

(Trigger warning for blood and fighting and cussing)
(Michael's POV)

"I think Jeremy is in serious danger." Michael immediately became more alert and worried. He stood up and faced Elizabeth. "What do you mean? Where is he?" She looked guilty. "W-well I thought he was with you and Henry but he's not ..and I realized something might be wrong." Michael didn't like where this was going. "He got a call and he said it was from you and I thought it was because it sounded just like you, and he said you were telling him to meet you somewhere? I didn't hear the whole thing but I think he said he was going to Circus Baby's Pizza World, I realized something might be up when I thought back to hearing the phone call, as I said it sounded just like you but there was a accent which was strange because you suppress it."

Michael looked terrified but did a surprisingly good job of hiding it. "I never called him, and I never told him to meet me anywhere." Elizabeth just looked scared. "That means someone else did." Elizabeth said with a look of concern on her face. "It's obvious isn't it?" Michael said his voice almost shaking. "What do you mean?" Clay asked a bit confused. "Well I sound just like William Afton right?, and Elizabeth said there was an accent which I tend to suppress, which means Jeremy has been lured into a trap and I think we should probably go right now or else he could die."

Michael felt chills creep up his spine at seeing this place again. Henry sent him a reassuring glance. Clay had his gun out and Elizabeth was lightly shaking. "You okay?" Michael says quietly to Elizabeth. "Yea I just don't like this place..for obvious reasons."

The elevator was clunky as it always had been and Michael wanted to scream, he felt like he was going to die. The elevator came to a sudden stop and Michael took in a sharp breath. "Be careful, even though its day time that does not mean its safe." Michael led the small group behind him.

They had made it just outside Ballora's gallery, even though the Animatronic couldn't move Michael was still terrified of it. The group were about half way across the room when a voice came over the speaker. "Hello. I welcome you all." It sounded like Michael but, deeper and with a British accent. Michael stopped in his tracks the voice sending shivers up his spine, If he had a pulse it would be speeding up. "Its nice to see you all again, I recommend that if you want to see your friend alive, you should all join him in the scooping room. You have very little time and i suggest you start running." Just as he finished talking Ballora began to move. "Run!' Michael shouted. The group all frantically ran towards the door. Michael was the last one in and he slammed the door behind him.

"Close one." Michael breathed out. Clay looked annoyed, "Damn right." Everybody caught their breath and they soon continued to the scooping room. They were near Circus Baby's stage. Elizabeth's breaths were faster than normal. "Its fine Elizabeth, its  powered off." Michael whispered trying to comfort her. Michael strained his hearing a bit and from the other side of the room heard a raspy voice, His breathing almost stopped when he recognized the voice. "You all stay back here, I have to do something." Before anybody could object Michael snuck behind the stage and saw Ennard, seemingly talking to himself.  He needed to take him down before he got to Jeremy. He looked at Ennard's wires, thinking maybe if he pulled a certain one it would take him down for the time being. Before he could though, Something flew towards him. He fell to the ground and Ennard loomed over him. "Bastard.." Michael whispered under his breath. Ennard's metal hand reached out towards his chest, but Michael rolled quickly and jumped up.

Ennard started towards him but before he could get to him Michael had grabbed a hammer from behind the stage and slammed it into Ennard's face. It didn't do much damage other than break his mask. Michael wished he hadn't done that as he thought Ennard looked even more terrifying without it. He heard footsteps coming towards him and hoped it wasn't another animatronic. He was very surprised when Clay came up behind Ennard with a gun pointed, and shot Ennard in the head. The animatronic fell to the ground, it didn't seem completely broken and Michael didn't want to stick around and find out.
