The Witches Ring

I hope it isnt real

Numb, all I could feel was numb. It wasn't from the snow that was falling outside, or the cold icy breeze that was swirling outside either. It was from my own brain. Memories of when my sister didn't hate me, memories of when my dad wasn't there and my mom was nice to me. Memories when birthdays actually were celebrated. Thoughts of Freddy, they would appear and make me happy, then I would overthink. Think about things that break my own heart. My mind begins to drift and I go into deep thought....

Daydreaming I begin to live my horrible fantasies.

"Jasper.... I, I don't think we should be doing this anymore...." Freddy says with great sorrow in his eyes.

"F-Freddy.... Why, why are you saying this. Don't you love me ?" I feel myself start to tear up, the pain of my heart being ripped out.

"I do... I love you so much. That's why I've made the decision. I'm going to get myself..... decommissioned. I'm gonna have them make a brand new Freddy and I want you to leave this place. Leave and go live a life, go find a human who can love you out in the real world.... Someone I can never be for you." He says with a shaky voice, I can tell he's trying to be strong but I can hear the defeat spilling from his mouth. I fall to my knees hearing these words, imaging a life without this job, without him.

"I-I-I...." I try to speak but I can't seem to gather the words.

"The ring, I want you to take it and destroy it. No one else can have this.... No one else can know the pain it brings."

"Pain..."

"Yes"

"I... I thought you loved being able to hold me, hug me, smell me, feel me.... Right ?" I cry out in begin deep breathes.

"I did, after a while I just.... I knew it was all something I could never truly have. A demo to a life with you. A life where I can love... I didn't start to have dreams until I started to realize how much I was actually in love with you. And they slowly turned to nightmares. They would always be so good, I would be out in a field with you..." he takes a deep breathe, I take one as well... all it did was make my chest hurt more.

"Freddy... I don't want this to end, please don't give up. We'll find a way I promise... please, please just love me. Stay in love with me please." I cry out, yearning for his heart. I look up and see Freddy perk up as he hears this. I see the regret in his eyes, his face. He wants nothing more than to run over to me and give me a hug. Embrace me and tell me it's all going to be okay. I expected him to do so... but he just kept going on with his dream.

"We're in a field..." he says very shakily "spending an entire afternoon in each other's company, I am chasing you through a grassy field and your teasing me, saying I'll never be able to catch you... even though we both know I could if I wanted too" I see a small smile form on his face as he remembers the dream and the happiness it brought him. "After you give in because you missed being in my arms..." he pauses after that sentence, feeling the pain knowing he will no longer be able to hold me anymore. "We. We, we have a picnic.... You brought more of those burgers you got me, expect this time there is a really big one for me and a regular one for you. Then it either ends in 1 or 2 ways. After eating, it starts to rain.... Which normally wouldn't be a problem because I have the ring on. But no matter how many times I make sure the ring is there on my finger, I always end up being destroyed by the rain. The other way it ends Jasper, it's simply me dying. I don't know if it's the kind of dying where I just need to be recharged or if it's something else but it happens." My eyes are transfixed on him, the love of my life. My heart burns with pain as I begin to imagine his dream, him passing away but now.... Now he's gonna do it. He's gonna get himself decommissioned.

"Freddy.... Please"

"I can never give you the life you deserve, I can never go out with you and have a picnic, bask in the sun and dance in the rain with you. I'm stuck here... knowing this, why would I continue to be here in this sorry state."

"For me, for me Freddy please."

"I am doing this for you... I don't want you to be stuck with me." He closes his eyes and takes a deep breathe, he looks to be like he is building up the ability to say something. "I don't love you Jasper, go find someone who does....." and with those words, that sentence I died. Freddy walks away into the darkness and I sit there still. Nothing but my head racing fast, I'm there all alone. If he doesn't love me, who will... I'm not loved by anyone anymore. He was the only one left. My family...... my sister, mother, dad. What did I do to earn everyone's hatred...? I'm just trying my best.

"Thank you so much for visiting Freddy's Mega PizzaPlex ! The gang is all ready and packed for their winter get away and they will all miss you very much. They are all looking forward to seeing you return next year and cannot wait to give you all big hugs and Glamrock love !" The annual message that plays every year break me out of my horrible nightmarish trance. I notice myself breathing hard and heavy, I'm sweating from the fear... my chest is actually on fire. I look around the office making sure everything is in order. W-what time is it. I pull my phone out of my pocket revealing it to be 9:58pm. I-I was daydreaming for that long. The desk fan blows on my face and I notice the stream of tears running down my cheek. It wasn't real....

I hope it isn't real.
