CALL OF THE SHADOW [Freedom AU Book Eight]{FNAF/UT}

~Teaser~

*Beautiful fan cover by GoldenAntlet , thank you so much friend!*

When tomorrow starts without me,

It's been a while since we last spoke, now hasn't it? The bright blue rabbit froze, his breath hitching. 'No... no, no!' He thought to himself, trying to keep his distress hidden from those around him.

When I'm not there to see,

"I-It's not working, Fred! They're supposed to stop the voice but they don't work anymore!" The bear placed a hand on his shoulder in a calm manner. "Don't panic. You've absolutely nothing to panic about."

  "But...!"

"It'll be alright!"

I wish, so much, you wouldn't cry

  The bear had told him not to panic, but he was panicking anyways. Who wouldn't panic, when one has the blood of their friend on their hands? He didn't know what to do.

The way you did today,

He placed one hand to her yellow-feathered cheek, and the other held onto one of her shaking hands. "Stay with me!" He pleaded, his sapphire eyes trying to maintain eye contact with her violet ones, even if they seemed to be glazing over. "You'll be fine, just-" He choked on his words when she began smiling ever so slightly. "Don't go to sleep!"

I know how much you love me.

'Don't panic', he said. 'It'll be fine!' he said. The blue bunny grasped at his head, wishing the voice would stop taunting him. Look where that's gotten you now.

As much as I love you.

  "It's... been a month." Her tone was low, so as she could keep it steady. "And, honestly, Vix and I are worried about you." His emerald eyes seemed to be staring right through her as she spoke. "I know... it hurts. It hurts us, too." She paused when he flinched away from her hand--which had been reaching to rest on his shoulder.

But when tomorrow starts without me,

  "He... H-He stabbed me..." She looked at his arm in horror, the white stripes on his wrist nearly covered in red. "But... why?!" He gave her an unsure look, as he fought to stay conscious despite his injury.

Please try to understand,

  "ENOUGH OF YOUR QUESTIONS!" His bellowing voice shouted, causing the bear's ears to flinch backwards at the volume of his voice. "We can make your stay here a living hell. Do NOT test us!"

That an angel came, and called my name

  With tears streaming down his face, he angrily threw the empty prescription bottle into the river. "I told him... they weren't working anymore..." The effectiveness was bound to wear off sooner or later. The bunny let out an angered yell at the voice, demanding it 'shut up already'!

And took me by the hand,

  His emerald eyes stared blankly into the ceiling above him. He couldn't fall asleep. The whispers weren't letting him.

And said my place was ready

  "Why didn't they ever tell us about this?" She asked, earning a simple confused shrug from her sister. "I don't know." The other confessed sadly, this whole revelation upsetting the both of them.

In Heaven far above.

  It crouched onto the ground next to his quivering form. Leaning to the bright blue bunny's face, it's now physical voice tauntingly proclaimed, "I win!~"
