The world felt so far away, as if you're peering through a window watching everything happen from a distance. Like it was happening to somebody else.

Your body ached, it burned, you could feel the blood dampening your clothes and sticking to your skin. You weren't dead, but you are dying. And that was an awful feeling.

This was really it wasn't it? Chica had spoken to you not that long ago, and promised she'd get you out of here. But, shadow had other plans. This was an elaborate trap. (And you the perfect bait.)

Your breathing felt slow. It was hard to take a breath with the way your lungs wheezed in your chest. (Or so it felt like.)

Shadow was back, his presence a sickening reminder that you were trapped, you didn't know where he had gone. He briefly mentioned something about leaving for a moment. But your mind was too jumbled to properly understand what he had said at the time.

"Well dove," shadow loomed over you with a smile, "it seems our game of cat and mouse is about to begin."

You slowly lifted your eyes up, you wanted to scream. Beg him not to go out there, your friends were out there. Chica, was out there.

"No-" your voice was hoarse, just as it had been not that long ago. You couldn't talk, not after all the screams of pain. But still the defiant no found it's way to your lips. Shadow just smiled at you, amused with the fire that still burned deep inside of you. (The desire to save them.)

"It's inevitable now dove, so just play the game with me and we'll finish this little show together." Shadow hummed leaning down, and you knew there was no way to argue with him. He was getting exactly what he wanted. (Though what precisely you weren't sure. But there was a him involved and you knew he can't come back.)
"Now just sit and wait. Your friends will come fetch you in a moment."

Shadow seemingly disappeared. The last thing you could see were his eyes, gleaming in the darkness. Then he was gone. You had to warn them. You had to find some way to warn them. But you didn't have enough energy to cry out to goldie. You barely had enough to crawl towards the door. But you had to. For them.

You whimpered, pushing your body forward, slowly crawling along the floor. Making your way to the door digging your nails into the wood for extra momentum.

Tears blurred your vision as you moved. Your body hurt so much. It hurts to breath. You bared your teeth to the pain, grinding them against one another with each pull forward.  You had to get to Chica. You had to warn them all.

Suddenly the door swung open. You winced expecting shadow, but then...

"(Y/N)! (Y/N)?! Oh!" Chica barged in, worry in her voice as she looked around in the darkness until finally her purple eyes landed on you. Her eyes immediately swelled with tears as she rushed towards your tattered body.
"Oh-oh my god."

She was nervous, hands shaking as she finally got a proper look at you. She could have only imagined the damage from behind the door from only hearing your voice. But seeing you now only made her stomach turn in ways that threatened the sickness.

"C-Chica-" you were weak. Reaching your arm out towards her, hand shaking wanting to feel her's in your grasp. Immediately she took your hand, gently clutching it in hers bringing it to her face.

"I-I'm here. S-see I told you I'd save you!" Chica forced a smile, gently nuzzling into your hand as she kept it close pulling your body up from the floor. It was nice seeing her. Seeing those eyes even if they were filling with tears staring back at you. It gave you hope.

You tried to smile at her. You knew she was trying so hard to be brave. Everything you both have ever known felt like it was a lie, but you both sought peace with one another. Having her here gave you peace.
