° Chapter 5 °

Bonnie knelt down and put on his sweetest smile possible. He was posing for a photo with a small boy and his baby brother in front of his mini-stage. Just then, he heard a chilling voice.

"The older boy. He's the most social. Bring him to the tunnels under the Pizzaplex and we will track you from there."

Bonnie froze in horror. He knew their creator would not forget the mission...but he still had not see it coming. He saw a small hand wave in his face to get his attention.

"Mr. Bonnie? Are you ok?" The older boy asked. He was around six with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. His baby brother was still very young. Maybe three or four, and looked just like his older brother. The toddler was noticeably hugging a Freddy plushy very tightly. The toddler clung onto his mother to get her attention. Bonnie focused back on the older kid who looked very concerned. Bonnie sighed. "Yup, I'm just fine, kid! Say, did you want to come with me to Mazersize?? My friend Chica would love to have us!" He forced a grin. The boy's eyes lit up and Bonnie felt whatever heart he had shatter as he ran up to his mom to ask for approval. To his dread, she allowed it.

"I'm gonna' bring Greg to Rockstar Row 'cause he wants to meet Freddy. You can meet us down in Kid's Cove in an hour or so, ok?" The mom asked. The boy nodded enthusiastically and rushed back to Bonnie. The toddler supposedly named "Greg" waved to his brother before being carried off. Bonnie begrudgingly let out his hand for the boy to take. He did not even ask the boy for his name, it would just make it harder.

"Hey, Mr. Bonnie? This...isn't the way to Mazercise-" the boy looked around, visibly confused.

"Y-yeah...we're taking a shortcut..." Bonnie lied through his teeth. The boy nodded in understanding. When he made it further in the tunnels, the boy began getting nervous.

"Now make him stay here and leave. I will take care of the rest." The voice said.

Bonnie's grip on the boy's hand tightened and his eye sockets began to flood with oil, feeling suddenly extremely protective of the boy.

"Let him go." The voice ordered.

This was for Freddy, for his friends. He just had to do this once. He will find a way to end this but not now.

Then when?!

It's been decades, when will it end?!

Bonnie was fighting with himself. His emotions were overtaking him.

This was for Freddy.

He had to do this.

Oh, but the poor boy's family too...but god, he couldn't even imagine Freddy being forced to do this.

"Mr. Bonnie..?" The boy asked, concerned. Bonnie contained a loud sob threatening to escape his throat. He knelt down to look the poor, naive, innocent boy in the eyes. He pulled the boy in for a gentle hug, holding back more oil from spilling out of his eyes.

"I'm so sorry..." Bonnie muttered.

"Huh...?" The boy asked.

Bonnie let go and stood up. "Wait here." He said, pausing for a moment. Finally he broke into a run. He couldn't watch this. He needed Freddy. Oil was spilling freely from his eyes and he felt himself stumbling and blacking out from overheating again. He heard the child call out to him, which was enough to bring him to his knees, distraught.

"Bonnie?!" The boy called.

Bonnie couldn't move. He was frozen to the ground. He forced a hand over his muzzle as he heard the child scream out in fear and loud stomping and hitting against the walls. Before it was cut off and grew dead silent.

Bonnie was sobbing freely now, guilt overtaking him. In his last emotional resort he called Freddy on the servers. Freddy, as usual, responded immediately after the first ring.

"Hello, Bonnie! How are you doing?" He asked obliviously.

"Freddy-! F-Freddy...please, please! I need help!" Bonnie sobbed. Freddy's mood immediately changed.

"Bonnie?! What's wrong? Are you hurt?? Where are you?!"

"T-tunnels..." His voice trailed off as he was blacking out.

"Bon-?!" Freddy was cut off as the call disconnected abruptly.
