You woke up from yelling coming downstairs, you quietly stood up and crept down the stairs stopping halfway to see what was happening.

"Henry for the last time, give me back my children, i am losing my patience." William said through gritted teeth, pursing his lips as he looked at Henry dead straight in the eyes.

"I am not letting them suffer anymore torture from you William, so leave my house!" Henry demanded.

Micheal stood next to Henry, arms crossed and a frown on his face, Elizabeth hiding behind him.

"Mikey, I'm scared.." the little girl said, quivering.

William suddenly snapped his head towards Micheal's direction,  striking a fist at him.

"NOOOOOOOO!"

You woke up from the nightmare, your chest rising and falling as beads of cold sweat dripped from the side of your head.

"Oh my gosh, y/n?!" Micheal jolted up and immediately took your shaking body into his warm, comforting one.

Immediately your bodies touched you broke down and cried, sobbing your eyes out as you clinged unto Micheal as tight as you could. Afraid he might melt away if you didn't.

Micheal rocked you gently, whispering sweet nothings into your ear and patting your arm soothingly.

"Shh.. it's okay.. im here.." Micheal whispered.

You sniffled once more before pulling away and wiping your tears away from his face.

"Thanks Micheal.. i-im fine now.." you said through staggered breaths.

"No you're not y/n.. tell me what happened." Micheal demanded, holding your face with his hand.

You let in a breath before speaking.
"Well.. i had a nightmare about your dad.. asking Henry to have you and Elizabeth back, so when Henry rejected he.." you gulped
"Threw a fist at you." You then said.

"Oh." was all Micheal said before he looked away, small tears starting to collect in his eyes as well.

"I-im so sorry to hear that y/n.." he said, pulling you into an embrace and kissing the top of your head.

"I'll make sure nothing happens to you. Promise. Even if it means losing my life im willing to." He said in a whisper.

"Thank you so much Micheal.. this means so much to me, you have no idea.." you said, sniffling.

"It's no biggie y/n.. i love you.." he then said as tears streamed down his red dusted cheeks.

"I love you more." You replied, on the verge of falling asleep now.

Micheal gently laid you down on top of him, as he somehow found a comfortable position for the both of you.

"Night y/n.." he whispered, moving any strand of hair away from your face

~~~~~~~~~~

You woke up at around 7 in the morning, as you had work in 2 hours.
You slowly stood up and removed Micheal's arm off your waist and stood up, went to the bathroom and did your usual morning routine and put on your makeup and as you were grabbing your stuff to leave a sudden groan erupted through the room.

"Y/n..?" Micheal said, a slight frown on his face, hair messy and puffy red cheeks.

"Oh good morning sleeping beauty" you sarcastically said, smiling at him.

"Morning.. where are you going..?" He asked, nodding his head towards your uniform.

"Oh me? I'm going to work." You said,

"Work..? But y/n my father will be there as well.. isn't that dangerous?" He asked, his voice deep and hoarse as his facial expression softened.

You sighed, pursing your lips as you went over to the bed and sat next to him, caressing his hair.

"Micheal don't worry about me, i promise ill be fine. Okay? You really don't have to worry." You asked, trying to reassure the boy

"But y/n you and Elizabeth are basically all i have right now.. i really don't want to loose you too.." he said, his voice cracking as he was starting to tear up.

You brought him into an embrace, stroking his hair gently, when he calmed down you pulled away and took one side of his face in your hand.

"I promise ill be okay mikey, don't worry yourself at all." You said, smiling at him.

"Promise me you'll be fine at home..?"
"Yeah I'll be fine.." he replied, still sniffling

"Good" you smiled as you glanced down to your wristwatch

"Oh shit! Im late!" You frantically stood up.

"Micheal ill be back in a couple hours okay? Love you!"
"I'll miss you y/n.." he said, trailing off.
"I'll miss you too Mikey, a lot"
You gave him a short but passionate kiss before pulling away and rushing out the door.

As you were frantically walking down the walkway in your peripheral vision you saw a black car slowly tracing behind you, before the window rolled down and a familiar masculine face popped out.

"How about i give you a ride to Freddy's darling? It looks scorching outside." William said, a stupid grin on his face.

You slowly turned to face him, mentally cursing yourself for being late.

"U-uhm it's really no biggie W-william, i can walk!" You awkwardly giggled, rocking on your heels.

"I insist." He then sternly said, a thick british accent coating the menacing voice.

"O-oh sure.. th-thanks William.."

You hesitantly opened the back door seat and sat inside, pursing your lips and fiddling with your thumbs.

"So darling, how has your day been so far." He suddenly asked, glancing at you with the rear mirror.

"U-uhm good.." you said, your voice cracking slightly

William noticed your obviously panicked state and chuckled.
He made you scared and vulnerable and he loved that.
Having total control and authority over you.

"Love, do i make you nervous?" He then asked, rasing an eyebrow.

Your face went red in embarrassment as you tried to form out words but only miserable stutters came out.
You then shut up as you realized you were just making a fool of yourself.

The whole time William just stared at you dead in the eyes from the rear mirror, his piercing silver eyes slicing through your reddened face like knives. He stayed like that for what felt like hours before he then finally looked back to the road.

"Right, we're here." He suddenly said, making you jolt as you didn't even noticed the change in setting.

"Th-thanks William.." you quietly said, hastily getting off the car and walking toward Freddy's entrance door.

As you made your way to the entrance of the pizzeria you felt Williams cold stare burning at the back of your head.

This man is not sane.
