Twenty Four

Chapter Twenty Four (Foxy)

I throw open the door and stride right up to Freddy, Bonnie and Gold.

Seeing me, they turn and stare, mouths open in the middle of a sentence. Freddy narrows his eyes and Bonnie just looks puzzled. Gold's expression is a mixture of excitement and concern.

"Guys." I walk up to them, shaking from seeing Chica. "I need to tell you something."

Freddy raises and eyebrow. "Go on then, Foxy."

I nervously shuffle under their intense gazes and wonder how to begin.

"I went to see Chica..." I begin, and then trail off into an awkward silence, glancing at each of them.

"Yes, we know this already." Freddy said, agitated. "Get on with it, already."

"Okay, okay!" I raise my hands. Gold and Bonnie stare at me, whilst Freddy just looks bored, waiting for me. "Okay, so I went to find Chica but..." I gulp.

"Come on." Freddy grunts, glaring at me.

"I went to see Chica and there was... blood on the walls." I tell him. For a moment they stare at me, like they don't believe it.

"Blood." Freddy murmurs. He looks up, his eyes seeming to have tiny flames within them. "Do you know what this means?"

"No." Bonnie says carefully, looking puzzled. "What are you guys trying to say?"

"You are stupid, aren't you?" Gold glares daggers at him, and Bonnie shrugs.

Freddy and Gold open their mouths and two different things pop out.

"Chica's possessed." Freddy says.

"There's a murderer." Gold says. They say it at the same time, making me and Bonnie glance at each other.

"What?" Freddy turns and looks at his golden counterpart, raising a confused eyebrow.

"Oh.. so you didn't realize?" Gold asks, and Freddy shakes his head, partly angry, partly confused.

"No, Gold, what are you on about?" Freddy stares at him, narrowing his eyes, and then glancing to me and Bonnie. "Do any of you know what he's on about?"

Me and Bonnie shake our heads, whilst my mind whirls. Murderer? What is Gold on about now?

"Can you tell us, Gold, what you mean?" Freddy sighs, staring back at the house, where Drusilla must still be inside.

Gold shrugs and then tells us. "Mangle told me she felt something was odd about that security guard." Gold looked at me. "Not the one you killed."
