"Brat." He sneered, smugness dripping in his voice. You shuddered. He was very frightening to look at now that he was angry. You struggled in his grasp, his knee digging into you. "L-Let me go!" You said, trying to sound angry and brave, but it came out as a mewl. Springtrap chuckled softly and released you. "As you wish, pet." He said, turning away from you. You landed on the ground on your stomach and got a better look at his hind feet. Covered in grime and blood, it looked as if.. He was part of the suit. Organic. Springtrap snorted and waltzed away from you, sighing deeply. "You know, you put up quite the display back there... I could have easily snapped your neck. You seem angry about something. Want to talk about it?" His voice was mocking, and you opened your mouth to reply when that sense kicked in. He was mocking you. Rage boiled inside of you, and you picked yourself up off the ground and dusted off the grime that stuck to your jacket. "Who are you- I mean, what are you?" You asked, following him and stopped dead when he whipped around to look at you with a wild look in his eyes. He backed you into a wall and slammed his hands against it, rubble falling from the ceiling and the wall. He leaned down close to your eye level and bared his teeth, a single drop of saliva falling from his open mouth. "I... Am your worst nightmare." Was all he said before releasing the wall of his rage. He turned back around and you got a better look at him. He had fur, all along his body and a quite fluffy looking tail. Instead of a comical white tail that looked like a child's story book rabbit, this creature was more animal like than anything. He had saliva, and paw pads, claws that could slice open your flesh with one swipe. He was terrifying. "I'm not sca-scared of you." You snapped back, taking a step forward to prove it. "Oh? Then please. Be my guest. Show me your bravery." The monster had a thick British accent and a very deep gravely voice, with a hint of an Australian accent. "If I do that, you'll overpower me! I'm not that stupid!" You retorted angrily. The creature snickered. "So, you're not as stupid as I thought." He said, snarky. This thing had an attitude. "You never answered my question." You said, coolly, trying to remain calm even though you were shaking vigorously. "And I already told you." The creature snapped, sounding annoyed. "I have a question myself. Why are you here?" You paused. Should you really tell him? "I'm looking for my friend. She was murdered I think. My friends say she killed herself, but she would never do that. I know her. I've known her since we were both 10." You said, your voice starting to shake. The creature's eyes narrowed. You suddenly felt very small, and you shrank back. "I... I'm sorry.. I.. Please, um, I'm just looking for my friend. Please, don't hurt me." You whispered, your voice growing squeakier and higher with every word. He stalked slowly towards you, towering over you. "Hurt you? I'm not going to hurt you.." You held your breath. "I'm going to break you." You felt a surge of horror and your fight or flight kicked in. You stood still, trembling and whimpering.


This monster before you was cackling away, and you had a horrible feeling that Kelsey was closer than ever before. 

"You seem anxious." The beast spoke. It had been quiet for 15 minutes as you and the creature had a stare down, waiting for the other to move. Neither did. "..." You could not find words. You were scared, and nervous. "You're scary." Was all you said. He chuckled darkly. "Many have said that to me, it's a compliment now." He growled softly. Thunder boomed outside and you jumped, anxiety rushing through you. The creature once again chuckled darkly at you, laughing at your fear. "Afraid of a little thunder, are we?" He mocked. "Shut up.." You muttered, angry. The beast sighed deeply and stalked to the front doors where you had entered, and stepped outside, letting the rain wash over him. You studied the monster for a few more minutes and went outside next to him and sat down on the concrete. He stared you down and you looked at his eyes. They were... Very human like. His pupils were slit, much like a cat. His nose seemed wet and animal like and sharp jagged whiskers poked out of his snout. He grunted and looked away, stepping further into the rain. You felt the urge to vomit and stood up. "Hey... Um. I'm gonna.. Take off. I'm sorry for bothering you." You stood up and put your hand on the doorknob when a deep and cold laugh met your ears. "Where do you think you're going, pet?" You hated that nickname. You turned to face him, and shuddered. "... Home..?" You said, nervous. The creature was silent for a moment, a nasty grin growing on its face. He laughed quietly at first, as if you had told him a bad joke, but his laughter rose to an alarming and very loud to where you put your hands over your ears, whimpering. "Wh-What's so funny?" You retorted, confused on why he was laughing so much. "Hahahaha... You cannot leave, child. Are you that much of an idiot?" He sneered. "... What are you talking about?" "Anyone who steps foot here... Never leaves." Your blood ran cold, and you felt panic sliding in. ".. But.. My friends.." "Your friends were lucky. Sad that I only got one out of the four." You felt sick. "What-" The monster was starting to come towards you, his eyes glowing softly, and an ugly snarl on his face plastered with a horrible snarl. "W-What do you mean one?!" You shrieked, bile crawling in your throat, and a sense of dread washing over you. The beast was in front of you now, and you felt very, very small. He tipped your chin up with a single digit with one of those huge claws sliding out. You gulped quietly, and stared off into the other direction best you could. He grabbed your chin and forced you look up at him. His eyes were terrifying, black surrounding where the whites of eyes would be, the animalistic eyes bored into you, the slits growing and dying as he maintained his excitement. "I mean... One. The last one. Kelsey, was it? Brave little thing... Pity I had to kill her. She seemed so nice." You felt weak in the knees, not knowing if he was telling the truth or not. "P-Please..." You whispered out, backing away. "Please, no... No.." The beast chuckled. He did not move, only watched you back away. You kept backing away, bile rising in your throat and sobs threatening to overspill when your foot landed on a softened floorboard, soggy and weak, and you fell through the floor, screaming. You hit the ground hard, and cried out in pain. It was dark and it smelled. "H-Hey!" You yelled, hoping the beast would hear you and help. As if. You thought bitterly. He watched you fall, and he smiled. He wasn't going to help. You got up and brushed yourself off to be met face to face with Kelsey.


Her eyes were wide open and her face was contorted in an expression of terror and pain, her mouth twisted in a horrible scream. Her neck was snapped and her head lay at an awkward stance, on top of... Other... Bodies. You were frozen and then you started screaming. You screamed and screamed, looking around the sullen room. It was dimly lit by a small lantern hanging on the wall, with various tools, deadly looking weapons and heads mounted on the wall of different species. Be it human or animal, it was a truly grotesque sight and you shrieked, scrambling to run away from it all. You slipped on blood that was leaking from the pile of bodies and hit your head on the ground, and looked over to see a very young man with a knife plunged into his eye, and you screamed once more, running to the small door and began to pound on it. Your breathing was fast and you couldn't stop hyperventilating as hallucinations kicked in. The bodies were rising; moving as one, moaning quietly. "Y/N......" Kelsey's voice reached your ears and you squeezed your eyes shut, tears flowing. "Nonnononono! PLEASE, NO!" You screamed, clawing at the door, your fists getting tired. "Why didn't you help me? You let me die..." She whispered, crawling towards you. "No, I didn't! I didn't kno-" The door swung open and you ran to your savior, knocking the both you over. You ran over whoever had opened the door when you felt a hand grab your ankle and you kicked and screamed, immediate panic setting in. "NO! LET ME GO! DON'T! NO! PLEASE!" Your voice was growing hoarse now. "Quiet, pet! You're going to wear yourself out." That familiar voice came and you stopped and slowly turned around, sweat dripping down your face and arms. "W-What?" You looked at the creature who was glaring up at you from the stairs and floor he laid on where you had knocked him over. The bodies were still now and nothing had moved. You vomited on the stairs, hard. It splashed on you and ran down to the rabbit monster who scrambled up, but he wasn't fast enough. Vomit reached his fur and he let out a disgusted sound, picking you up around your waist and carrying you up the stairs. As you were carried away from the corpses, you could have sworn Kelsey turned her head to you and mouth the words: "Help me." You blacked out.


"... Hey.. Wake up.." A muddled voice broke through the black void you had slipped into. "I said wake up, pet!" The stern voice and harsh smack to your face woke you immediately. You were outside where it was pouring rain. Him. "YOU!" You screamed, running to the beast covered in your vomit and blood from the floor. You ran at him at full speed and began to pound on his chest and grasp at his fur, ripping out handfuls. "YOU KILLED HER! YOU FUCKING BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU?! HOW COULD YOU...?! How could you....!" You sobbed, sinking to your knees in front of him, hanging onto him still and hitting at him weakly. The beast said nothing but walked away and let the rain wash away the bile and blood on him. You stayed on the ground and sobbed until you could cry no more. You looked up. The beast was staring at you. You didn't even bother to scramble away, just stared back at him. He knelt down and wiped your chin and face, not meeting your eyes. "Why did you kill her?" You croaked out. He ignored you. "At least tell me your name..!" You were getting angry now. He looked up into you eyes and glared at you. "I have no use for my human name anymore." Anymore...?  What was that supposed to mean? "You may call me.. Springtrap." Springtrap. Scary... You shuddered, and drew yourself up, hugging your knees. "You really panicked back there. What, never seen a dead body?" You couldn't tell if he was mocking you or not, but you punched his arm. "Shut up.." You mumbled. Springtrap grunted. You looked around, wiping your eyes and saw a small red rose poking out of the ground. "Go get it, then." Springtrap's voice broke through your thoughts. You jumped. "...How did you know I was thinking that?" You asked him slowly, anxiety rising. He simply glared at you. "Fine.." You mumbled and went to go pick it. You plucked it from the ground and began to cry again. Kelsey loved roses. You went inside silently, Springtrap watching your every move but did not follow. You went downstairs again, took a deep breath and approached Kelsey's corpse. "... I'm sorry." You whispered, lying the rose on her chest and turned to go outside again. Springtrap was waiting for you. He was standing out in the rain again, observing the small patch where the rose was. You cleared your throat and he glared at you, approaching you before holding the door open and said gruffly. "Inside."
