Glitched Memories [FNAF AU | Story 1]

~+[ Chapter 45 | Night Terrors ]+~

Elizabeth and Lexi would just be chatting while on the way back while Elizabeth occasionally checked her phone and texted Michael that they were heading back to the house now.

Once Inside, Elizabeth would take off her boots, coat, and scarf as she ran off to her and Evan's room while Lexi just kicked off and brushed off any snow on his feet and on his top hat as he walked away into the kitchen.

"You two were gone a long while, Where did you and Elizabeth disappear to if you don't mind me asking?" Michael asked as he was sitting in the dining room next to the kitchen with some blueprints while thinking up some new animatronic designs. "You sound like a dad when you put it like that" said Lexi as Michael chuckled lightly.

"Well I am curious! No one just disappears all day like that, especially you and Elizabeth unless it's to the cemetery on the other side of town to just look around and explore" said Michael to the animatronic ringleader who walked over to the Dining room and had taken off his coat and top hat as he carefully placed the top hat onto the table and away from the blueprints while putting up and hanging his coat onto the back of the chair as he sat down.

"Well, We went to the cafe then went to your guys old house where we found your daughter who asked A LOT of questions about you plus as to where you lived then we encountered some ghost in the house after your daughter left and I think the ghost is your dad's dead older brother from what we found out when Sam kept asking them a ton of questions and uhh yea-" said Lexi as he looked at Michael.

"Oh cool, also, Yea Elizabeth got mad at me and texted me about my daughter and to be honest- I'm not sure If I want to meet her since you mentioned you gave my daughter the address to where I live which is here..." said Michael as he seemed pretty nervous.

"If anything If I'm being honest, I'm scared of just meeting my old ex girlfriend again since for all she knows that I up and abandoned her and my own daughter out of nowhere and never went back...I don't even deserve to be honest to see my own daughter after years of abandoning her..." said Michael as he ran his fingers through his hair.

Elizabeth would be quietly listening from the dark living room as she looked at Michael and slightly frowned at him. "Well I'm sure It'll be fine, If you'd like I can go see If I can head back to the ClawStar's Pizzeria and get you an Illusion disk for you to use plus some body spray to use" said Lexi.

"I guess sure...But she could show up at any random moment-" said Michael as he just laid his head down onto the table. "Hm, Then you can use mine, I don't care- Plus she already knows I'm an animatronic since she asked If I was or not all because she could tell by my slightly glowing eyes" said Lexi.

"Sure.." Michael replied as he kept laying his head down onto the table. "..." Lexi frowned a small bit at Michael but wouldn't say anything more as he just looked to the shadow's where Elizabeth was who was looking at Michael.

-Later that Night...-

Evan would gasp as he woke up as he quickly looked around while turning on his flashlight as he calmed down a small bit as he looked to Elizabeth while shining the light of the flashlight in her face.

"Evaaaan...Turn that light off..." The girl tiredly complained as she pulled her black fuzzy blanket over her head. "Sorry Liz.." said Evan as he turned off his flashlight and just laid back down to try and sleep while hugging his Fredbear Plush.

As Evan kept laying there he would look up a small bit and look at the window where he saw a nightmarish looking animatronic hand as Evan yelled a small bit while shining the flashlight at the hand to make it go away.

Elizabeth would have shot up from her sleep as she looked to Evan who looked absolutely terrified, Like as if he woke up from a nightmare. Michael and Lexi would have entered the room as Lexi carefully scanned and looked around the room while Michael quickly went over to Evan.

"Hey you alright? What happened?" said Michael as Evan could only point to the window with his shakey hand as Lexi walked over to the window and looked at the dark forest and not seeing anything before then seeing a tree branch in the shape of a clawed hand just on the ground.

"I'm not trying to say I don't believe Evan but I think he just got scared by a tree branch" said Lexi. "It w-wasn't a tree branch I swear! It ww-was those s-st-stupid Nightmare Animatronics! Specifically f-fr-ff-freddy!" said Evan as he was already crying a small bit.

Elizabeth would have walked over to Evan and hugged him while comforting him and just slightly rubbing his back as Evan just cried into the girl's shoulder as he genuinely seemed terrified of whatever spooked him that bad, like as if something re-traumatized him or reminded him of something trauma related he just got over.

"I'll stay in here, You just go back to sleep" said Lexi to Michael who nodded a small bit and got up as Elizabeth still kept hugging Evan. After a couple hours the two would have fallen asleep on Evan's bed as Elizabeth was still hugging Evan.

Lexi smiled slightly as he occasionally looked at the two as he would be in the dark shadowy corner of the room as he looked to the window occasionally to make sure nothing was there as he'd continue to look at the window until it was dawn.

Once it was morning, Elizabeth would have woken up as she yawned a small bit and rolled over before falling off the bed, only to get quickly caught by Lexi. "Not to be rude but, you snore a lot" said Lexi to Elizabeth.

"Oh shut up and just put me down-" said she as Elizabeth got up while shoving Lexi away by moving his face away as she got up and walked away to go get some clothes ready for today. "Did you manage to see anything last night? At least near the window?" Elizabeth asked.

"Nope, Nothing unusual besides seeing a deer in the nearby woods and a rabbit" said Lexi which unsettled Elizabeth when he mentioned 'Rabbit'. Lexi noticed the girl's expression as he continued.

"Don't worry it was a small fluffy one, not...whatever you were thinking, it wasn't your dad" said Lexi to Elizabeth who seemed to calm down a small bit from what Lexi said. "Alright good...Don't need to be dealing with that bastard again" said she.

"Agreed- And especially after that fucker tore me apart and dismantled me- Quite rude of him if you ask me" said Lexi as Elizabeth lightly chuckled at Lexi's response as she smiled a small bit. Once she got what she needed she'd get up and walk away towards the bathroom so she could shower and change.

Michael meanwhile would have woken up as he sat up while just rubbing his tired eyes as he looked to MelonBean and Loki which looked at him mildly concerned and confused. "What? What is it?" said he as Michael walked away toward the bathroom in his room as he entered the room and looked at himself in the mirror only to see that he looked less...dead surprisingly as he looked at his face more and felt it a small bit as he only looked shocked as he then poked his head out of the bathroom and at MelonBean and Loki.

"Did you guys know this was gonna happen? Cause I sure as hell didn't- I thought I was gonna stay looking like a dead corpse-" said he as Michael looked back at himself in the mirror. "Now I just look like I haven't showered in a while with a mix of not sleeping for a year and looking like I just had the roughest week of my life-" said he as MelonBean walked over to Michael and lightly nudged his leg as she looked up at him and meowed.

"What? You hungry or something?" said he as he then looked to Loki who had dragged in their empty bowl as he carried in the bowl like a dog. "Yup- My question has just been answered-" said he as Michael grabbed the bowl from Loki.
