Freddy and the Glamrocks (FNAF Security Breach AU)

Crossing paths - Chapter 22

     Gregory couldn't even try to stop himself anymore as his feet dragged him closer and closer to his doom. He knew that she was near. He tried to hold strong and kept a stern look on his face. Under the calm surface he fabricated, he was absolutely terrified. He didn't know what she would do to him after trying to escape again. This had been his final chance at freedom, and he blew it!

At least Evan would have a chance to escape now. He hoped that the boy would be able to meet up with Michael and the two would be able to get out together in one piece. Maybe Michael would be able to stop Blue Bonnet? He doubted it.

He couldn't see anything now as the static completely covered his vision. He stumbled into a door and could feel himself step back and stumble into it again. It hurt his head a lot. Fucking pain receptors. On the third hit however, he never connected with the door. Instead, it opened. His visions finally cleared as he watched the figure in front of him. He immediately recognized it as Vanessa. She pressed a different button on that stupid remote she had. Everything went black as he fell down limp.

Vanessa hummed to herself as she dragged the prototype into a storage closet. She roughly dropped it on the floor and nudged it a little roughly with her foot to make sure it was off. She smiled sickeningly sweetly and patted herself on the back.

"Good job Vanessa! You did at least one thing right tonight,"

She closed the storage closet up and locked the door with her security card. And, for good measure, she propped a chair up against the door handle. Satisfied with her work, she skipped out of the lab and out into the hallway.

"Vanessa... do you think he will forgive us...?" A little girl in a yellow dress suddenly appeared at her side. She halted in her skipping, but quickly ignored the figure and kept walking. She was pretty tired, it wasn't odd to see her showing up and nagging her when she was so drained. Ignoring her was a practiced effort nowadays.

"Vanessa, does he still love us? What did we do wrong?" The little girl asked her.

She hated her... the little girl always knew exactly what she was thinking in the back of her mind, and they would voice out all of the hidden thorns in her heart. She couldn't do anything but ignore them and numb it all.

She reached her hand into her pocket and pulled out the yellow pill bottle. She shook it once. 4 left. She opened it and popped one into her mouth. She changed the tune she was humming to something a little more cheery in hopes of drowning everything out and just letting the medication do its job. She's not real. She always disappears once the meds kick in.

"Vanessa... we can't forgive him... we can't forgive him for what he's done... this is not the kind of love you want... it's wrong... it's manipulative... he's hurting you, and he likes it.. you know I'm right... I'm always right..." the little girl taunted as she stepped in front of Vanessa. She couldn't draw her eyes away from the yellow silhouette in time. The entire hallway went pitch black.

Vanessa leaned against the wall and closed her eyes tight as her world spun and twisted. She lost sight of what was real for a moment as the pain came to her. Bruises, cuts and scrapes everywhere. He was shouting, yelling at her. She couldn't even tell what he was saying anymore. It was all garbled and drowned out. She couldn't breathe. She felt like she was drowning. Drowning in the taste of iron. It wasn't iron, it was her own blood. It pooled out of her mouth and onto the floor around her. On the floor was a shadowy form that cried softly in pain and rolled around in the blood. Was it even her blood...? She couldn't tell what was what anymore.

The chaos was abruptly cut by silence and her return to the same dark, white walled, cold hallway. This was reality. She had only lost herself for a moment. She regained her breath and stood up straight with a smile. The expression was absent of any mirth despite how much effort she put into it.
