Five Nights and Reid Collide (TBP and FNAF fanfic)

Wait, What?

* Neil's POV *

"Miranda, what's wrong? Why did you wake us up so early in the morning?" Kimberly moans. Miranda woke us up at around 6 in the morning all spastic like. "I woke you up because I have news." Miranda says.

Kim and I look at each other with the same look of dread in our eyes. "What's the news Miranda?" Kimberly asks sternly. Miranda sighs and looks like she's collecting herself to tell us something horrible.

"Reid called me, and he told me something very unusual." Miranda says to us. I gulp in fear of what she is going to tell us.

"Well, what did he say??" I ask nervously. She just stares at me with the strangest gleam in her eyes; I can't tell what it means. "Well, you're not going to believe me Neil." she says quietly. "Miranda, tell us! Where is my big brother?" I ask like a child.

She looks crushed and sits by us on the coffee table that's in front of the couch we're on. She rubs my knee soothingly, like our mom does time to time to calm us. When she refuses to tell us I use two fingers to move her face so it is looking at mine.

"Miranda... please tell us. Just blurt it out of you have to." I say calmly.

"Um... he said that he..." Miranda whispers as her mind trails off. "He said he was trapped in a game." she says. It hits me like a brick.

"What??" I ask myself.

"What game..." Kimberly asks unbelievingly. "He's trapped in Five Nights at Freddy's." She says. "Impossible Miranda." I mutter bitterly while studying the hard wood. When I look back up Miranda and Kim are both crying. I feel like a jerk. "I-I'm sorry girls." I mumble. They both cry softly, and so I pull Kimberly to my side and then I make Miranda sit next to me so I can hold her.

Kim lets me hug her, but Miranda shies away and tries to get out of my arms. I hold her tighter, and soon she gives in and cries in my arms. I know this is hard on all of us and I feel bad that I made them so upset.

They settle down and Miranda starts talking again.

"It's true I swear! He's trapped in Five Nights at Freddy's, an online horror game." she says. "But how Miranda, how can he be trapped in a game?" Kimberly whines.

"I don't know Kim; he just said he was sucked in!" Miranda replies. "How can you believe him?" I ask. Miranda turns and looks at both of us.

"I believe him because he's my best friend. I believe him because when he called me he said he was afraid, and I think we all know that Reid never tells us when he is afraid or upset. When he told me he was afraid, he said it in such a voice that I've never heard before; you could hear and feel the fear in his voice." Miranda explains.

"But Mir-"

"No Kim, don't argue with me! Why would Reid lie to me when I told him how much we've worried about him; how much we care!? He'd never lie to me!" Miranda says. She holds her head in her hands and tries not to freak out.

Kim and I take a breather as to not send Miranda into a breakdown. We sit for a little while, listening to Miranda wheeze and try to hold in her cries from us.

"He said he would call when he's able to next; then you'll believe me!" Miranda says. She stands up now and paces the living room; walking back and forth past Reid's fireplace with pictures of him and Miranda and some of his family on the mantle.

Later in the day after we've all had time to gather our thoughts we come together to talk. Miranda apologizes and so do we. We all talk about our favorite memories from our childhood, mostly which include Reid. That is something I never realized before; how all of my favorite things I've been through in life include my brother. Makes me ask myself why I ever hated my big brother.

Miranda is quieter now. She's not so outgoing and chipper like she was when she first came. I guess we're dragging her down into our grief as well. She looks so terrible; so broken. I somewhat wish I'd never brought her into this at all.
