Bryan POV:

(It's too loud here. I hate this. Why did I agree to come? Why?) "Sweetie?" "Huh?" I looked up to see Mommy looking down at me, "You're squeezing Mari, are you alright, hun, we can come a different day if you'd like? I know it's busy today and you don't like the noise." I shook my head, "N-No, I'm fine. Besides, don't wanna make Dylan upset; he got really excited and was looking forward to this. Besides, Valerie and he should have found a table by now. They might be worried." Mommy kept looking at me in worry. I hoped she would leave it at that so I could sit down and draw. I also didn't want to talk about sad stuff anymore. Mommy sighed, "Alright, let's go find your brother and Valerie. Hopefully, they found a table that isn't near any crowds; don't want you to have a panic attack." We walked around the pizzeria until we found Valerie and Dylan sitting at a booth where only one family was nearby. Dylan was eating some crackers and drinking juice while Valerie was trying to make sure he wasn't any more of a mess than what was there. He had the crackers all over the table and Lolli looked lucky to not be stained by juice. Dylan looked in our direction and yelled, "BIG BROTHER! HEWO!" I winced at the noise but waved, "Hi Dylan." Mommy snickered and said, "Valerie, do you need help?" Valerie blushed in embarrassment, "No, I can handle my son." Mommy didn't look convinced, she glared at Valerie until Valerie said, "Fine, I need some help." Mommy had me sit next to her, and as she cleaned off Dylan, I fiddled with Mari's arms. Once Dylan was cleaned off, he went under the table and sat next to me. I didn't even notice how Mommy and Valerie left to get some pizza for us. I continued to play with Mari as Dylan went digging through the backpack. He found two pieces of paper and a box of crayons. Dylan then put them all on the table, one piece of paper in front of me, and one piece of paper in front of him. Along with the box of crayons. I watched as Dylan drew a picture of Adrien, him, and me. Ever since what happened to Daddy and Uncle Marcus, Adrien had to go away. Dylan doesn't know why, but I do, and it hurts. "Big Brother?" "Huh?" I looked over at Dylan and he looked upset, he wasn't crying. But I didn't like the way he stared at me. "Dylan, what's wrong?" Dylan pointed toward my hands and I noticed how they were shaking. I stopped the shaking and looked back to Dylan, "I'm alright, don't worry. Hey, I see some other kids. Do you wanna go say hi?" I pointed toward the stage with Bonnie, Freddy, and Chica. There were kids younger than me and around Dylan's age playing together. Dylan looked at me and then at the kids. "But, you don't look okay. I wanna stay with you." I smiled, "I'm fine, I'll be fine. Don't worry, besides, I know you don't like sitting around. I'll join you when I'm ready." I smiled and picked up Lolli. I shook him and waved his hands in front of Dylan. He giggled, "Okay, I can go. But only because Lolli swaid yes." I gave Lolli to Dylan and he ran over to the group of kids in front of the stage. I grabbed the box of crayons and began drawing a picture of Lolli and Mari holding hands. (It looks really good.) "That's a nice picture now isn't it?" "AHH! WHO'S THERE!?" "Behind you kiddo." I turned around and saw a yellow bunny. He had green eyes and a big grin. It was sort of scary. "Um, hello mister. I don't think I've seen you before. Are you one of the animatronics?" The bunny's grin suddenly got bigger, "Why yes I am. I'm SpringBonnie, and you seem alone. Why are you here alone?" I looked over at Dylan and he looked over at me. We made eye contact and he had a big smile and waved. I waved back and looked back to SpringBonnie, "I don't like crowds. And I'm waiting for my Mommy to get back with pizza." SpringBonnie scratched his chin, "Mmmm, interesting. Oh, I know you." I blinked a few times in shock, "Y-You do?" SpringBonnie nodded, "Yep, your Dad owns Rat and Cat Theater, correct? So you're Bryan, right?" I slowly nodded my head, "Y-Yeah, that's me. But my Dad doesn't own it anymore. He's dead." "Ah yes, pity." I looked down and then hugged Mari. I started to feel tears well up from behind my eyes. "Oh, don't cry kid. Here, have a handkerchief." He gave me a white handkerchief and I wiped off my eyes. I gave back his handkerchief, "Thank you, sir. You liked my drawing, so if you'd like, you can have it." I picked it up and started to hand it to SpringBonnie. He pushed back the paper and said, "Don't worry, I don't need the drawing, but it looks amazing. You know, even though you were having fun drawing you seemed very upset. So if you'd like, I could make you not sad anymore." I looked up at SpringBonnie and instead of his scary smile, he looked sorrowful. But his smile was kind. "H-How can you make me not sad?" He held his finger up to his mouth. "I'm going to tell you a secret, promise to keep it." I looked back at Dylan and watched him run around with the kids, (I tell Dylan almost everything. But I haven't told him anything lately. Neither have I told Mommy and Valerie. I can promise this.) "I-I promise mister. I'm really good at keeping secrets" He sat down beside me and said, "If you'd like, I could help you see your Dad again." I stared at SpringBonnie in shock until I exclaimed, "R-REALLY!" I smiled and began feeling really excited. SpringBonnie nodded and he grinned again. He stood up and held out his hand, "Yes, really. You just have to follow me." His grin seemed menacing, but it felt real and I was so happy. (I can see Daddy again. I can talk with him and tell him everything that's been happening. SpringBonnie can't be lying. But, what about Dylan, Mommy, and Valerie?) I looked over at the picture Dylan drew and the one I drew, "Mr. SpringBonnie. What about my Mommy, brother, and his Mommy? They would wanna see Daddy too." SpringBonnie started to look nervous for a moment. But he sighed and said, "I want you to be the first one to see your Dad again kid. If you come with me to see him first, you are allowed to tell this secret, okay?" I looked down, "You promise you're not lying SpringBonnie?" SpringBonnie held out his pinkie, "Pinkie-promise." I smiled and wrapped my pinkie around his. SpringBonnie started to walk away and I got up to follow. (I get to see Daddy again, and then I can show everyone else. I can't wait.) We walked down a long hallway. It felt scary so I squeezed Mari until we reached a door. SpringBonnie grinned again, but it was scarier than before, (Why is his smile so scary?) He spoke, "We're here kiddo" I felt nervous, "Uh, okay." "Now, let's go in" I walked into the room and heard the door slam shut. I felt a hand on my left shoulder and heard SpringBonnie whisper into my ear, "You saw her die, didn't you?" I froze, I knew who he was talking about, I squeezed Mari tighter than I did earlier. I didn't want a panic attack, not now. "You know, I'm surprised you didn't recognize me, but, I am wearing a rabbit costume. Of course, you wouldn't, such a gullible child." I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, I couldn't do anything except stand there in shock. (Why did I trust him, I'm so stupid, I should have gone to find Mommy, I need to make noise, I need to scream, or something.) I suddenly felt something sharp move across my neck and started shaking, "Now, you stayed quiet when you saw Charlotte, I can't tell if that was smart, or the fact that you were afraid. But you aren't stupid, so for being quiet as a little mouse, you get to stay quiet. Don't worry, this will be slow, and very painful" I felt my neck being cut into and then covered by a hand. I coughed and felt the blood run down my chin. It hurt so much, I tried screaming, yet I didn't hear anything. I couldn't hear myself speak or scream. "Oh, you poor child. You can't even call for help, it's sad. You shake like a timid rabbit, which would fit you perfectly. I'll have fun cutting you up with my little knife. Don't worry, just a few more moments, and then you'll die. And then you'll live your happiest day, in the magical world of Freddy Faz bear's Pizzeria." Something suddenly went through my back, my arms dropped, and I could feel Mari drop from my hands. I felt the knife being pulled out from my body. Everything began to blur as I fell to the ground. The last thing I saw was SpringBonnie waving as he said, "Goodnight, Bryan." I could only think of one thing, one thing I wished for, more than anything at that moment. (Someone, help me. Please.)
