Takin' a Life

The smoke billowed into his eyes, fogging his vision. Jason tripped on a piece of debris and hit his head on a jagged piece of concrete. He fell to his side, the ground shook and a metal rod fell on his chest, pinning him to the floor. Jason's vision blurred, then went dark.

He awoke in a flowery field, three figures stood over him. One of them bent a hand down and Jason took it, "Long time no see man." Ben's voice said

Jason's eyes went wide. It was Ben, Charlie, and Rhys. They all had smiles on their faces, clearly happy to see their old friend once more. Jason's eyes watered.

"I'm so sorry guys. If... if only I had known, I would've-" Jason started

"It's okay man. We understand." Rhys said, putting a hand on Jason's shoulder.

Charlie hugged him. "We're not mad. But you don't need to seek vengeance for us. Whatever happened two years ago happened."

"You guys really believe it?" Jason asked, Not sure if he was dreaming or if they were actually there in front of him.

"Yeah dude," Ben said, "Besides, you still gotta make it out."

"I guess this is goodbye then." Jason said, sad that he had to leave his friends for another time.

"Goodbye." Charlie said

"See ya dude." Rhys said, raising his hand.

"Bye Jason." Ben said, "who knows, maybe one day we will see each other again."

Jason saluted then the ground under him crumbled and Jason was sent into a free fall. He looked up as he fell and saw his friends looking down and waving. "Don't give up, you can make it!" Ben called to him.

Jason was thrust back into reality, the heavy metal rod pressed against his chest. "I'm not giving up!" Jason yelled and channelled his strength. The rod slowly lifted off of him, Jason strained his muscles, they felt like his arms were going to explode. He lifted the metal beam just enough so he could slide from under it.

"Come on! Let's do this!" Jason hyped himself up and bolted for the elevator, picking up a loose metal pipe from a pile of debris. He threw himself to the button on the inside, pressing it. The elevator rocked and lifted upwards.

Then the doors opened and he raced up the stairs and burst into Roxy Raceway. His legs moved faster than ever, the image of his friends motivated him to make it out. He briefly looked down at his Faz Watch, the screen had cracked but it was still operational. It read 5:59. The doors would be open by the time he reached them. On the second floor of the Raceway, Jason swung the pipe as Monty dove for him. He threw the pipe into Monty's mouth, sparks flew as it made contact with the green animatronic. Roxanne noticed the commotion and gave chase.

Freddy ran at Jason but he tucked his arm and ducked with a spin out of the animatronic's path. Freddy stumbled into Monty, knocking those two down. Chica stood in his way. Jason accelerated, then tackled the robotic chicken to the floor. He used the momentum to roll into a sprint. Jason looked back and saw that Roxnne had leaped over the fallen animatronics and continued her pursuit.

He jumped down a flight of stairs tucking into a roll. Roxy did the same and caught up to him. Grabbing his left arm and biting down on his bicep. Jason felt each one of her sharp teeth graze against his bones. Then his feeling in his arm left. He was thrown to the floor, the wolf animatronic dug her claws into Jason's side. He wailed in pain and agony.

Suddenly his pain left him. Jason sprung up into a sprint. He must have moved so quickly that he practically fazed through the elevator doors. He pressed the button and the elevator vibrated as it moved. The doors opened and Jason moved through the Main Lobby, paying no attention to anything but the glass doors in front of him.

Jason made it outside into the parking lot. He was going to make it to his car. He was going to-

Jason hit his face on a wall. He fell backwards to the floor. "What the..." Jason stood back up. He had a confused look on his face. Jaos walked up to the invisible barrier and put his hand on it and leaned forward. Some invisible wall prevented him from falling forwards.

How was this happening?

A car pulled up next to him and a man stepped out. He was young and wore a Fazbear uniform. He was mumbling something to himself and walking towards Jason, paying no attention to him. Jason waved his hands trying to get his attention.

"Hey! Wait! Stop! Stop, there's a weird invisible wall! Stop, no! Sto-"

Jason stopped when the man walked through the barrier. How did he do that?

He ran up to the man who was still walking. Jason put his hands outstretched to stop the man. The man just fazed through him. Jason was stuck in place, he had never been so dumbstruck in his entire life. He stood in place for hours, people passed him or passed through him. No one could see him, no one could feel him.

He was a ghost. He was dead.

Author's Notes: Jason's dead. Yeah, he's dead. I don't have that much else to say.
