Something Unusual

Felicity

The nightmares all gathered in the living room waiting for the return of their fellow companions. Nightmare Freddy and Foxy were the first to return home, complaining about their wet fur from the storm as usual. Nightmarionne returned as well, all were reassuring themselves, getting dry, asking one another what they've gathered so far. Nightmare Freddy and Foxy didn't find any clues, and the other animatronics haven't seen any signs of Nightmare due to the storm picking up. Nightmarionne had no luck either from the gathering sight. The Withered animatronics were quick to pick up the place, but no signs of Nightmare. "Where else could he have gone to?" Asked Nightmare Freddy.

"I don't know?" Nightmarionne said, "But Nightmare Fredbear is still out there, maybe he'll have some luck finding him. He has to." Nightmarionne now sounding concern, hopes to have all their fellow nightmares back home before the storm gets even worse. The sounds of the old roof tiles slamming down from the wind and buckets placed around the house just as before to stop the leaks broke the silence within the house. All the Nightmares can do is wait, and hope for Nightmare Fredbear to return. Just as their lights flickered on and off, the front door handle moves. Everyone looked over at the door opened revealing Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare. "Oh, thank goodness you're okay." Just as they entered, everyone noticed Ennard in Nightmare's arms.

"Why did you bring the freak back?!" Nightmare Freddy exclaimed in confusion. The nightmares shuffled away from Nightmare after seeing him bring back Ennard. Nightmare had a concern look but held Ennard close not wanting to let them go.

"Nightmare Fredbear, what happened?" Nightmarionne asked while handing him a towel. Nightmare Fredbear put down the lantern to dry his hands, couldn't find the answer for Nightmarionne. He felt agitated trying to help Nightmare in this situation.

"I don't know, I don't know what happened okay. It was either stay out in the storm to ask or bring him home to ask later." Both of them looked over to Nightmare worried, Nightmare Chica came around and handed both Nightmare and Ennard a towel to dry. Nightmare giving thanks to her, as she felt shy and walked away from them. Nightmarionne starting to get upset, almost letting out the absurd anger, but Nightmare Fredbear stepped in. "Nightmarionne, please. Look at him." Nightmarionne took a second glance and sees Nightmare not drying himself, but looking after Ennard, cleaning their blood off with the towel. "He left because of them. All Nightmare asked from me was to help heal them." Nightmarionne was puzzled by this, why would Nightmare of all of them, would risk leaving his own home, for a rebellious animatronic.

"Nightmare?" Nightmarionne approached them and asked, "Did you find them this way?" Nightmare not wanting to share what really happened, tried to think his way around a serious situation.

"Y-yes." Nightmare replied in a nervous state. He couldn't help but feel scared in his own home. He brought home a forbidden visitor, if Golden Freddy knew, would he be banished? Would his fellow nightmares think less of him and banish him out the house as well? Nightmare was afraid of the answer to come from both Nightmarionne and Nightmare Fredbear. The feeling of them towering over him as he slowly slums down on his knees in slight panic. Nightmarionne just walked over to them, trying not to make him feel overwhelmed by the situation.

"Hey, Nightmare. It's okay, look. We'll help your friend, okay? Do you mind if we use your room to heal him up?"

"Please...just, please. Help them."

"Okay. Don't worry, Nightmare. You're not in trouble, I'm just...glad you are okay." Nightmare stood back up with Ennard still in his arms, looking at everyone who was staring at him. Nightmare quickly cleared himself up, hoping no one noticed his sudden change of emotion. Thinking a tear ran down from his eyes, but it was a rain drop, luckily. Nightmarionne pointed to Nightmare that he can go to his room. As he made his way, Nightmare Chica already knew what was coming and immediately started to go to the kitchen to run some hot water. "As for everyone, please help out as best you can when we ask for something. And don't let anyone from the outside know we have the animatronic clown in our home." The other nightmares scurry their way to find towels, tools, and patches in case Nightmarionne requested them. Nightmare Fredbear was relieved to see his fellow nightmares working together to help an outsider. It almost feels like the day when he was once an outsider before all this stabilization took place. The main four nightmares weren't too keen of Nightmare Fredbear being allowed to live there with them. Then Nightmarionne, Nightmare Mangle, Nightmare Balloon Boy, and Nightmare arrived soon after him. Everyone was a bit iffy at one another but welcomed them with open doors. And of course, due to Golden Freddy setting down the rules. The nightmares, as what they were; stuck with living under the same roof to not start any confusion with divided groups. The nightmares should be proud of a strong bond and large group they have accomplished, but then again, the living conditions do seem unfair. It didn't bother the nightmares before; but the excessive run down of the old house and expanded family they have, really make it clear that it's unfair conditions, especially for the children they need to watch over. Nightmare Fredbear went over to Nightmarionne, who was just about to get ready to head over to Nightmare's room.
