The Cursed Kingdom (ReaderX Sun&Moon)

The Fall

Your cat meowing at your face was one way to start the day, his whiskers tickling your cheek as he purred against you. He was your best friend and therapist all in one! Though his morning routine of meowing and scratching at the door to escape became somewhat annoying. Giggling softly, you pulled him in closer kissing the top of his head as you buried under the cocoon of warmth you made through the night. “Now, Mister you know I’d love to stay here in bed with you all morning if I could…” you smiled warmly as he gave you a purred meow in response. “But! I must go!” you exclaimed suddenly your covers flying of the bed as you stayed still feeling his paws dip into the mattress. “Yes! Because mommy will be working Freddy’s mega pizza plex” you cooed booping his tiny nose with a smile before jumping out and finding your work clothes. “Hopefully today will be good.” You wondered getting dressed

Humming a catchy tune, you took you meds before leaving and locking the door. ‘Breakfast can wait.’ You thought making your way to the plex blasting ‘Hayloft’

As you looked at the ginormous building filled with neon signs and advertised flyers you vaguely wondered what lurked in there, you heard rumors even fairy tale stories about animatronics being real and in a different world from ours. You didn’t believe it I mean how could you?! If magic and miracles were real wouldn’t your ex stop pestering you by now? Huffing our a breath you leave the car only to be met my the ice cold of winter and its unforgiving wrath, as you walked b6 you could already see people start parking and pulling out their five to ten year olds, some blowing into the air as the exclaimed “I CAN SEE MY BREATH LUCY!” Boy did you love kids their wild behavior and savage honesty…. okay maybe not the last part but still, it was refreshing.

When you finally pushed through those heavy glass doors you were met with the loud bustling of patrons buying, playing and signing up for exclusive deals. You had to resist the sudden urge of zoning out as some argued over the best sales and combos. You hate working here but the company was desperate and so were you, the sudden warmth of a hand on your shoulder startled you from your day dreaming as you were met by Lance your co worker who admittedly has a crush on you. “Y/N, you’re sure here early!” he stammered as you fully faced him. Lance was sweet…I mean he brought you flowers from the garden his grandmother tended to, he’d bring brownies for his colleagues and would even spoil you with your favorite animatronic merchandise. But- he was very creepy all the same. “Well I wanted to get in my extra points” you joked only to earn a half hearted chuckle from him “ Say, y/n would you like to-“

“Lance, fuck off.” You held down your laughter as parents gasped at your colleague and dear friend Marie lack of filter. You were quick to apologize as you pulled your friend by their wrist and out of sight. “You can’t be saying that shit!” you whispered as she smiled triumphantly leaning against a wall “Lance deserved it! I don’t know why you put up with him.” She exclaimed with a pointing at him. You didn’t blame her after all Lance could be much at times but he was sweet? Huffing out a breath you tell her softly “Lance can be …eccentric yes…. but he isn’t all bad?” you sheepishly gave a smile towards your very much shocked best friend “Y/n boss wants to see you!” someone shouted across the room startling you, shaking your head you gave a quick sorry before making a bee line to your boss’s office.

Anxiety picked at you like a bird searching for worms, the look he gave you was unsettling to say the least lips curved into a frown as he puffed on a cigar half-hazardly laying on his pudged fingers, stains of what you could only hope was coffee or pizza grease littered his shirt in splotches. “Y/n,” he started with a rough voice before going into a coughing fit. “We have suspicion that some random kids broke in and messed around near the daycare, and you were….” Squinting at his monitor he continued “Nomi- nominit-“ he tried with a perplexed look “nominated?” you offered with a polite smile as he raised a finger “Yes! That, anyway…you’ll be checking around for anything suspicious or tampered with?” he questioned before waving a hand dismissively “your schedule will change and take effect immediately Yada yada…” you nodded having the self control of a snake slowly capturing their victim. If only you had the pounce down…leaving the room you forced out a quick “thank you.”

The daycare was easy to find at least, granted after the whole court case with ‘Robots shouldn’t be watching children’ they weren’t exactly keen on losing their squeaky-clean hush money status. So, they closed it off, not like it lost them money they barely took care of them as was, some of the older mechanics would tease the newbies with some bullshit story of the daycare attendants went missing and their ghosts haunt the play structures hoping one day to see a child roam their daycare once more. It was amazing the things people would come up with!

The once decorated child friendly signs were barely noticeable only the outline left of where they hanging caution tape winding in places like a maze, bathrooms gift shops the theater all gone. It was heart breaking to see to say the least, you would’ve loved playing on those structures and slides. Such a waste….

Sighing you got to work with scouting for any clues of entry or even out of place things, starting in the gift shop, finding old stuffed plushies resembling the sun and moon. Kind of creepy with their permanent smiles but you found it endearing nevertheless, shelves were mostly bare as you passed through before heading into the daycare, nets decorating the wall in a cocoon as play mats to colored blocks and nestled on the ground. You almost screamed at one point only to find that the monster in question was left out googly eyes and glitter glue. You’d think they’d just throw this stuff out.

Walking towards the ball pit you could only imagine the chaos ensued there, children throwing them around like snowballs. It was cute although you remembered these used to be like a portal giggling at your wild imagination and in curiosity you jumped down, reliving your wondrous memory. But when your feet hit the floor beneath you, it was disappointing to say the least all magical moments gone. “Stupid reality.” you grumbled bitterly. Suddenly a hand wrapped around your ankle your voice caught in your throat as you screamed in terror only to be yanked down forcibly, a warm breeze whipping your hair as you descended into the unknown. Your eyes shut tightly hoping this was all a dream and you’d wake up hugging your cat. “WHO ARE YOU?!” A voice shrieked dropping you in surprise that was when you forced your eyes open taking in the robot before you.

Ten feet of metal as a mask hid their face in a permanent grin, sun rays poking out as a crown adorned in rubies as blonde messy locks blinded you momentarily. “Who?” you squeaked out, they looked like a cosplay of the plushies you saw! “Me?” he inquired leaning down into your face squinting at you. You couldn’t help but fight against the embarrassment that took you then, why did you have to be so shy?! “What’s your name?” the robot demanded

Sun didn’t know if you were good, heck he couldn’t understand why feet were slowly pushing out from the sky! He just pulled and bam! There you were tiny and terrified in front of him. He hoped you weren’t the evil witch that casted moon in that dreadful curse but- you seemed so nice? Maybe he was too trusting… shaking his head he waited for your reply “I’m sorry- but this is a dream, right?” you spoke so softly he barely caught it. Then you stood up pacing in a panic mumbling to yourself, Sun was quick though tackling you onto the ground, long fingers draped over your mouth as his piercing blue eyes narrowed dangerously when he demanded with such force “I refuse to be your next target witch.” He spat out venomously his face but mere inches from your own suddenly he whipped his head up screaming out. “Guards! Guards!” within seconds you were surrounded by statues covered in gold armor. Sun tossed you like a rag doll into their arms, as gold sparkles encased around your wrists. “Such a nuisance.” He tsked before leaving you to your unknown demise.
